Hayes JoanneJO HAYES (National): Kia ora. E ngā mana e ngā rau rangatira mā o te iwi o Ngāti Hinerangi tēnā koutou. Nau mai haere mai i tēnei Whare o te rā whakawhitiwhiti. He rongoā mō tēnei iwi engari kei konei mātou i tēnei rā.[Greetings. To the authorities to the distinguished masses of Ngāti Hinerangi greetings. Welcome welcome to this House on this day of exchange. It's a solution for this tribe but we are here today.]Yes we are here today to I guess celebrate the first reading of the Ngāti Hinerangi Claims Settlement Bill. Because it's the first reading I have been looking into a lot of the background of your history and the atrocities that happened to your whānau to your ancestors to your tūpuna back in the colonial war days. Like every other speech that we've heard in this House today again another iwi has been left virtually landless through colonisation and the wars.I just want to say that today whilst it's a celebration for Ngāti Hinerangi I am taken back to the ancestors and what they suffered during the land wars. I'm taken back to the time before that when Ngāti Hinerangi was an iwi that flourished where it had the huawhenua where it thrived by trading with other iwi the fibres the flax—the whole economic development lifecycle that they had before they were robbed of their lands. From Tauranga Moana to the Kaimais this was a people that ran their own business. This was a people that had their own economic development and today is the first step towards ensuring that we get this bill through so that the cash and the cultural redress that is part and parcel of this bill can actually support Ngāti Hinerangi towards getting back towards some sort of semblance of that economic development.Last week I spoke on the Rua Kēnana pardon bill—a very different type of Māori bill as opposed to this one. Again it is always about the atrocities and how we try to make things better into the future of yet another iwi. I'm always honoured to be able to speak on these bills on this side of the House as a National Party MP as a member of the Māori Affairs Committee and I always look forward to the submissions that we will expect to receive from you into the Māori Affairs Committee. It is those times that for me are the most special because we hear directly from the whānau of the iwi on many things the history—your history. Reading it is fine but for me the sweetness of the kōrero the meaning of the kōrero actually comes from the words of the whānau of the iwi and in this case of Ngāti Hinerangi. So I look forward to the time when the Māori Affairs Committee comes to your rohe and listens to your story so that we can make things right in our stories as we impart them here in this House into the future.I really don't have a lot more to say. I have been away paying my respects to Koro Mullins who passed suddenly. It's been a very sad day for me having to pay my respects to such an amazing person so to finish off by a celebration for Ngāti Hinerangi has for me been a very moving experience.As I said I have not much more to add to that. I look forward to the stories to the kōrero that we will be imparted with in the submission process for Ngāti Hinerangi. I understand that one of our colleagues on this side Dan Bidois whakapapas to Ngāti Hinerangi so it will be very special for him returning back to hear the whakapapa the history the kōrero that you will impart to him as well. So without any further ado I support and I commend the bill to the House.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Ruth Dyson): The next call's a split call.
