Sepuloni Carmel; Borrows ChesterCARMEL SEPULONI (Labour—Kelston): Tēnā koe e Te Whare nei ā tēnā koutou ngā whānau o Waitara.[My appreciation to this House and salutations to you collectively the families of Waitara.]To all the Waitara families out there who are watching this I am speaking by accident in some ways because the minor parties are not here to take a call and the Green Party is not taking a second call.I want to start by just acknowledging our member of Parliament for Te Tai Hauāuru Adrian Rurawhe for the awesome work that he has done with engaging with the stakeholders on this with engaging with hapū and iwi with the insights that he has brought to this particular bill from his experience working with our Māori community and his experience with Treaty negotiations as well. It has been invaluable in this and it is not just the work that he has done within the community or on the ground on the bill; it is also feeding back to us as interested members of Parliament his colleagues who want to know and have wanted to be kept up to date with what has been happening with this particular bill. Many people know that my interest comes from the fact that despite not being Māori I was born and raised in Waitara—literally born and raised in Waitara born in that Waitara maternity home—alongside many people who have a stake and a vested interest in what happens here.I want to refer to the time—maybe a year ago—when I went with Adrian to consult with locals about what they thought about this particular bill. This particular meeting was one of those ones where you have a massive turnout. There were two people who showed up. The thing that really struck us was that you had an older Pākehā woman who was retired and not in a position to purchase a home or pay the inevitable increased lease that was going to be asked of her and on the other side you had a younger Māori man Sheldon Healey who had a family and a vested interest on behalf of his family with regard to being able to purchase that property.The thing that struck us was that despite the fact that they had different perspectives they respected each other's position and had consensus around the fact that an answer had to be found. The feedback that we get from Adrian from the process that he has been engaged with is that that is exactly how the process has run the whole way through. Whether it be hapū leaseholders Te Atiawa Trust the council the district council or the community at large it has been a respectful process and people just want to come up with a solution. So we are here tonight supporting this bill—supporting this bill under the recommendation that came to Adrian from the wider community but from the hapū as well to support it to its next stage and to keep considering what we have in front of us so that we can come up with a solution that meets the needs of all of the stakeholders that have been engaged with this process.I want to acknowledge both the hapū Manukōrihi and Ōtaraua hapū and the Te Atiawa iwi. I want to acknowledge all the leaseholders. I want to acknowledge everyone who has been engaged not just our MP for Te Tai Hauāuru on this side of the House but also the MP for New Plymouth Jonathan Young over there. I just especially want to just—you know we all have the hope that actually some of the hurt that has been caused by past actions would be healed in this process and I think it has been great that there has been general consensus across the House that we need to look for the best outcome for Waitara here. It has not been used as a political football which is unusual in this place actually to be honest. I think everyone is looking for the best results. Kia ora koutou.Kelvin Davis: Mr Deputy Speaker.Mr DEPUTY SPEAKER: Is this another 5-minute call? This is not sorry. I call Barbara Kuriger.
