Waititi RawiriRAWIRI WAITITI (Co-Leader—Te Paati Māori): E te Pīka tēnā koe. Tēnā tatou tēnā tatou e te Whare. Otirā tēnā koutou e hika mā. Tēnā koutou Ngāti Paoa. Haere mai nei whakapiri mai nei ki roto i tēnei Whare. Āe he tika tonu ngā kōrero a taku hoa a te rangatira nei a Tama nā koutou tēnei Whare whakatau mai rā. Tēnā te tira ka tū ko te tira nā Tūrora nā Rereahu nā Kōrehe nā Tūrongo. Tēnā te tira e oti ana tira ka tū tēnā toetoe nā Haka nā Hauā tira ka tū tēnā oti. Ko Kohukohunui te maunga ko Piako te awa ko Tīkapa te moana ko Te Haupā te tangata nei rā te mihi nei rā te mihi. Tēnā rawa atu koutou. Kua oti katoa te whakahuahua ingoa i tēnei rā. Tēnei ka tautoko tēnei ka tau. Tēnei rā anō hoki te mihi atu i runga i te āhuatanga o ō tātou mate. Tika tonu kia mihi rā ki a Mōrehu te nui o ngā pakeke kua riro tītapu ki te pō. Kāre e kite i te whakatinanatanga o tēnei āhuatanga engari mā rātou e kawe ngā kōrero ki ngā mātua tīpuna i te pō kei konei tonu koutou e whawhai mō tō koutou mana motuhake me tō rangatiratanga. Rātou i mate i rere te toto ki runga i tō koutou whenua hei aha? Hei oranga mō ngā whakatipuranga mō ngā mokopuna e haere ake nei. Nō reira rātou ki a rātou. Ka hoki mai rā ki a tātou mōrehu tangata kua tae mai nei i tēnei rā haramai haramai haramai. E kore e tarea tēnei tū āhuatanga te whakawātea i ngā mamaetanga i ngā tāmitanga i ngā patunga a te Karauna i a koutou i a tātou. E kore rawa e kore rawa. Engari me pēnei pea taku kōrero kei te ngau tonu tērā āhuatanga tērā taniwha i a tātou i tēnei rangi tonu. Kei te kite atu awahau i roto i te pepa nei i te pire nei kei te ngau tonu kei te ngau tonu kei te ngau tonu. Arā i roto i ngā pakanga o te motu i roto i ngā tau 1860 arā i kitea ngā tāmitanga ki runga i tō koutou pā ki Pūkorokoro. Hika ka mau te wehi! Ka mau te wehi! Ka whakaingoatia tērā whenua ki te poti i pū i a koutou ngā pūrepo whakamutu atu! Whakamutu atu! I taraingia e rātou te tango i tō koutou mana i tō koutou reo i tō koutou mana motuhake me tō koutou rangatiratanga i tō koutou whakatangata i a koutou ki runga i tō koutou whenua engari auare ake! Kei konei koutou i tēnei rā kei te ora tonu. Kei te ora tonu. Kei te kite tēnei Whare i tō kanohi kei te rongo i tō wairua arā anō hoki kei te rongo i tō mauri. E kore e tarea tēnei tū āhuatanga te whakatikatika i roto i te kotahi paihēneti o ngā moni ka riro i a koutou kotahi paihēneti. Me waiho mā ā tātou tamariki mokopuna te iwa tekau mā iwa paihēneti e whawhai kei ngā rā e haere ake nei. Me pērā pea te kōrero. Nō reira kia kaha ki a tātou ki te whakatō i te kākano ki roto i ā tātou tamariki mokopuna he iwa tekau mā iwa paihēneti e toe ana mā rātou e whawhai. Mā rātou hei whawhai. Kaua e mea he full and final settlement" whakamutua atu tēnā kōrero. Arā me te mea anō hoki e hika mā tēnei tū āhuatanga he mea whakawehewehe whakawehewehe i a tātou i roto i a tātou. Whakawehewehe iwi i te iwi hapū i te hapū whānau i te whānau. Tēnei tū āhuatanga ehara nā tātou nō reira e te Pīka kua tonoa mai tētahi reta e tētahi ki au. Pīrangi au ki te whakawātea i te Whare kia whakatēpungia tēnei pepa i tēnei wā. Ki te kore hika e kore e tarea e tātou te whakatutuki i ngā mahi kei mua i a tātou. Nō reira koia hoki tāku i tēnei wā. E hika mā he rima miniti noa iho ki au engari kei te mōhio au hāwhe pāhi i te rima karaka kei te wehe atu te nuinga o koutou. Nō reira ā kua mutu te wāhi ki a au engari tēnei rā te mihi atu rā ki a koutou. Kia kaha koutou ki a koutou kia kaha koutou anō hoki ki te whakawhirinaki ki ērā atu iwi e raruraru nei i roto i ngā whakahaere a tēnei Whare. Tēnā koutou tēnā koutou kia ora tātou. [Thank you. Greetings to all of us greetings to all of us in this House. Indeed greetings to you friends. Greetings Ngāti Paoa. Welcome welcome into this House. Yes the statements of my colleague the noble leader Tama this House is yours welcome. That is the party that stands the party belonging to Tūrora Rereahu Kōrehe and Tūrongo. That is the party that concludes the party that stands the rushes belonging to Haka and Hauā the party that stands it is concluded. Kohukohunui is the ancestral mountain Piako is the ancestral river Tīkapa is the ancestral sea Te Haupā is the illustrious leader I greet you I acknowledge you. Many greetings to you. The mentioning of names has absolutely been completed today. I support that it is resolved. I would also like to make acknowledgments with respect to our deceased. It is appropriate to acknowledge Mōrehu and the many elders who have passed into the night. They will not see the realisation of this phenomenon but they will carry word of it to the forebears in the night that you are here fighting for your autonomy and sovereignty. Those who died whose blood flowed on your land for what? For the wellbeing of the generations of the grandchildren that are to come. So they have joined their peers. I return now to us to the remnants that have arrived here today welcome welcome welcome. This phenomenon is not able to relieve the anguish the suppression and the assaults of the Crown on you on us. Never not ever. But perhaps I should put it like this: that thing that beast continues to bite us this very day. I see it in this paper in this bill it continues to bite to chew to lacerate. In particular in the wars of the nation in the 1860s the oppression of your fortified stronghold Pūkorokoro was seen. Golly it's unbelievable! It's unbelievable! That land was named after the ship that fired on you the cannons cut it out! Stop it! They tried to take your authority your language your autonomy and your sovereignty your very ability to flourish on your own land but no such luck! Here you are today you yet live. You yet live. This House sees your face feels your spirit and also feels your power. This phenomenon cannot be rectified with the 1 percent of the funding that you will receive 1 percent. We should leave it up to our children and grandchildren to fight for the 99 percent in the coming days. Perhaps that is how it should be put. So let's all be determined to plant the seed in our children and grandchildren that there is a remaining 99 percent for them to fight for. For them to fight for. Don't call it a "full and final settlement" stop it with that statement. And furthermore my friends these proceedings are divisive they alienate us from each other. Alienating tribe from tribe subtribe from subtribe family from family. This phenomenon is nothing of ours so Madam Speaker a letter has been sent by someone to me. I wish to seek the leave of the House to table this paper at this time. If not golly we will not be able to conclude the work that is before us. So that's all from me at this time. My friends I only have five minutes but I know that at half past five the majority of you will depart. So my contribution has ended but I'd like to acknowledge you. Be strong among yourselves and also be steadfast in relying on other iwi that are distressed by the proceedings of this House. Greetings greetings and thanks to all.]ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jacqui Dean): Sorry with apologies to the member if the member who just spoke wished to table a document—RAWIRI WAITITI: Oh yes sorry.
