Salesa JennyHon MEKA WHAITIRI (Labour—Ikaroa-Rāwhiti): E te Māngai o te Whare tēnā koe otirā ngā mema katoa o te Whare nei tēnā tātou katoa. E ngā mana e ngā reo e ngā hapū maha o Ngāti Maniapoto tēnā koutou tēnā koutou tēnā koutou katoa. Tēnā koutou i runga i te kaupapa whakahirahira tēnā koutou i runga i tō karanga tēnā koutou i runga i te rā whakanui. Nō reira ōku rau rangatira mā tēnā koutou tēnā koutou tēnā tātou katoa. [Madam Speaker I greet you indeed to all the members of the House I greet you all. To the authorities the orators and the many subtribes of Ngāti Maniapoto I greet you all. I acknowledge you on this auspicious occasion thank you for inviting us greetings on this commemorative day. Therefore to the many noblemen I greet you all.]I'm simply pleased to take a call on this significant piece of legislation in the third reading of this bill and I too want to put my conflict of interest on the table—Teanau Tuiono: Oh no here we go.Hon MEKA WHAITIRI: —oh hold on hold on; no recordings—on behalf of my mother who benefits from the kaumātua support of Ngāti Maniapoto trust. She would want me to say thank you very much because she is registered to Ngāti Maniapoto and hopefully is moving to Te Nehenehenui Trust because of the whakapapa that we have to Ngāti Maniapoto through my great-grandfather Īhakara Rāpana nō [from] Ōtorohanga. So it's with great pride that I stand and acknowledge my whakapapa to those that are in the gallery and those who are listening at home. So I want to declare that conflict proudly—that I have whakapapa with the very people we are honouring here today. Hon Willie Jackson: And Hukarere. Hon MEKA WHAITIRI: Of course Hukarere—Hukarere. But I wanted to say that in response to Mr Jackson's tono around getting out benefits to our people who don't live at home I just wanted to put on record that we are doing that and if it wasn't for what we are doing then we wouldn't see the proliferation of Waipareira Trust or his Manukau urban authority who over several decades have received millions of dollars of compensation from the Crown to deliver services. So I just wanted to say in honesty that that's what we're celebrating here and the recognition of the trials and tribulations of Ngāti Maniapoto but also the extension of aroha that you give to all your descendants no matter where they live. I wanted to acknowledge that and thank those that keep the home fires burning because without that we would have no mana. So mihi maioha mihi aroha ki a koutou.In your settlement particularly—and I don't want to go back over the history but I particularly want to underscore the primary industry protocol that you have. Many iwi that we settle with in this House tend to go into the social spaces—the protocols with Government agencies—but clearly you have done a beeline to the primary industries in reflection of the importance of your whenua the last bit of whenua that you have. But not only that it's the richness of your whenua and what your rohe has given to this nation. I know that the other side of the House the National side acknowledges the significance of the primary industries to this country but to see it in a Treaty settlement as a priority protocol with the Government going forward I think it needs to be noted in this debate. I think it's a significant turnabout. It's signalling very clearly where this particular iwi is going to take its future. It is going to be on the whenua with the whenua and the opportunities that is going to lock in for not only their people but all people of this nation—I want to mihi and acknowledge that in the short contribution that I have on this bill. It is a great day. I want to acknowledge all those who have made this possible: the negotiators on both sides; both our Treaty Ministers that started and finished the process; and of course to our tuahine Nanaia Mahuta who has our absolute respect in this House and to her husband Gannin Ormsby we send aroha to both of yous because we love you and we honour what you do on behalf of all of our people. Nō reira tēnā koutou tēnā koutou tēnā tātou katoa. ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jenny Salesa): Kia ora. The next call is another split call. I call on Tim van de Molen—five minutes.
