And also nga wero katoa ki ahau ki ngatari katoa a te Kawanatanga ngatumuaki katoa kia mohioairatau korerotia te reo Maori I roto a ratau mahi katoa. The challenge is also to Government departments right throughout the country to inspire them to be able to speak Maori in their communications not just with Maori people but also with all people in our country. 
I rise to talk about Maori aspirations ambitions and visions for Maoridom. I want to share with the House that there is virtually no difference between the visions and desires of our Maori people and those of non-Maori and Pakeha. We all want good jobs and we all want sustainable employment so that we can earn money to put kai on our tables. We also want a decent roof over our heads. We want education and employment for our children. We are really no different to the rest of New Zealanders. In fact our people want to participate in the opportunities that are available for them and to that end this Government has prepared a landscape in order for our people to achieve. 
I want to make a few comments about that. When we are talking about the Maori language we are talking about the Government appropriating something like $4 million over 4 years for the Maori language programme. That is something unique. 
But the other thing I want to talk about is the emergence of that other party. I tell the House that I am prepared to put my name down right beside the achievements that have been made by the Labour Government. I am prepared to put my signature to the achievements that have been made by the Labour Government in terms of its aspirations to move forward Maoridom in its entirety and in its commitment to Maori social and economic development. I will name some achievements. 
I will start first in Kaitaia. We put $9.5 million into Kaitaia Hospital. No other party not even this new party that has emerged has come out and said that it would put in any money. I challenge any party including this new party to deliver for the Maori people. I say to them: never mind about the rhetoric never mind about flying the tino rangatira flag never mind about blocking up the Auckland Harbour Bridge—produce the goods and deliver for our people! 
I will stand with my colleagues here and we will put our signatures to the things we have delivered for Maori. We have the lowest unemployment rate in a decade in Te Tai Tokerau: 9.4 percent down from 17.5 percent in 3 years. We are delivering. We have 6000 apprentices—young Maori training in building and engineering—in Te Tai Tokerau. If any others can match our aspirations they should deliver. I do not care what name they call themselves—this party or that party having a party—who gives a hoot? Maoridom wants a party to deliver and I tell members that this Labour Government has delivered—plus. We will stand on our reputation. 
Every Maori member and every member of the Labour Party and of this Government will put their signature to the treaty of delivery. That is a new treaty—the treaty of delivery. Never mind about the rhetoric. Never mind about jumping up and down doing the haka having the hikoi or flying the flag. That will not put kai on our table put a roof over our heads or educate our children. All that people have heard is utter humbug because at the end of the day our people will say: “Which is the Government that will deliver?” 
I say to this House that the treaty for delivery rests with this Labour Government. Our people understand that the party to deliver has to be either the Labour Party or the National Party. National will deliver the abolition of the Maori seats the abolition of Maoridom and the abolition of the treaty. That is what the National Party will deliver—humbug!
