Fleming Greg; Kuriger BarbaraGREG FLEMING (National—Maungakiekie): E te Māngai ko te kupu mutunga [This is the last speech]—I get the final word. He tino hōnore te tū ki tēnei Whare ki tō koutou aroaro ki te whakahōnore te Maunga Taranaki. I whangāia au e ngā iwi o Taranaki ngā marae o Taranaki te kōrero o Taranaki ngā pūrakau o Taranaki. Hoki mahara ki te wā tuatahi e noho ana au ki te marae o Ōwae Whaitara ki te taha o taku hoa Te Waka McLeod. Ka kite koe ki reira. Whakakī ōku moemoeā mā ngā pūrakau o tō koutou tupuna. Ka kite ō rātou mata ki roto ōku moemoeā nōreira koirā te tūāpapa o tēnei hōnore nui te tū ki konei.[It is a huge honour to stand in this House before you to honour the formidable mountain Taranaki. I was raised by the people of Taranaki the marae of Taranaki and the history and stories of Taranaki. I reminisce to when I first sat at the marae of Ōwae Whaitara with my dear friend Te Waka McLeod. I see you there. My dreams were nourished listening to the stories of your ancestors. I see their faces in my dreams therefore that sets as a foundation for why I stand here in honour.]I remember also when Te Waka invited me to her home marae near Waitara to receive her moko kauae and my thoughts and my dreams often return to that time. The way in which I an outsider was welcomed; the way I an outsider was fed; and the way I an outsider was shown nothing but aroha noa—grace—that is the āhuatanga o tō koutou iwi [way your people do things].Jamie Tuuta said i waenganui te mihi whakatau i mua tēnei taupatupatu [during the formal welcome prior to this debate]—although it's not really much of a taupatupatu is it? It's great. He kōrero kotahitanga. [A speech of unity.]Jamie said that this process is not about restoring or giving mana to Maunga Taranaki. He said that his mana is secure and always has been. This is about the Government—this unified Government—recognising in statute that which has always been and we have spoken about it already this afternoon about the sense that we all have when we have the privilege of flying over or walking past or driving past your mountain. His honour his strength his pride—it speaks to us all. Whenever I'm flying over I always snap a little pikitia and then on landing I send it to Te Waka and I say He ataahua a Taranaki i tēnei rā. I tēnei rangi i ngā rangi katoa." [Taranaki is beautiful today tomorrow and every day.] And he is. He stands tall he stands strong he stands proud as do you all.As has also been said this is the beginning of a process that will go through this House over the coming weeks and months. This entire process is about recognising the mana of Ngā Iwi o Taranaki about ngā mana o Maunga Taranaki [the spiritual forces of Mt Taranaki]. It is my absolute privilege to stand in support. Tino tautoko i te whakaetanga o tēnei pire. [I very much do support the approval of this bill.] Kia ora koutou.Motion agreed to.Bill read a first time.DEPUTY SPEAKER: The question is That Te Pire Whakatupua mō Te Kāhui Tupua/Taranaki Maunga Collective Redress Bill be considered by the Māori Affairs Committee.Motion agreed to.Bill referred to the Māori Affairs Committee.DEPUTY SPEAKER: Permission has been granted for a waiata.
