Tangaere-Manuel CushlaCUSHLA TANGAERE-MANUEL (Labour—Ikaroa-Rāwhiti): Tēnā koe te Māngai o te Whare.[Authorised reo Māori text to be inserted by the Hansard Office.][Authorised translation to be inserted by the Hansard Office.]I rise to speak on the Resource Management (Extended Duration of Coastal Permits for Marine Farms) Amendment Bill.As I return to the Whare ferry Mr. Speaker a children's song came to mind: One day a taniwhawent swimming in the moana.He whispered in my taringaWhy don't you come with me——and we'll extend permits across your [Authorised reo Māori text to be inserted by the Hansard Office.][Authorised translation to be inserted by the Hansard Office.]Taniwha are lurking whānau and here's the problem with taniwha: they're sneaky. Sneaky. They only give you 13 days to have your say. Didn't even let me finish—you know get to reply with a verse and here they are.Hon Simeon Brown: Encore!CUSHLA TANGAERE-MANUEL: Oh you'll just listen up mate. It's coming.So here's the thing. Only 13 days to consult and once again: different topic same thing. "We're not going to listen to you 91 percent of the people; we are not going to listen to you." This is the problem Aotearoa.[Authorised reo Māori text to be inserted by the Hansard Office.][Authorised translation to be inserted by the Hansard Office.]No matter what we're talking about in this House the message is the same: you can come we're going to open up for submissions. You make them; we will ignore them. One thousand people who took the time—experts in their field Māori experts in their field who took the time—Government don't care.[Authorised reo Māori text to be inserted by the Hansard Office.][Authorised translation to be inserted by the Hansard Office.]Don't just listen to me: there's other people with other amazing songs like Rangitāne Tini Whetū. Rangitāne ki te Whenua.Now there was a comment made earlier about people resisting this bill resisting wealth. You show me one tangata whenua; one Māori; one anybody who submitted opposing this bill who doesn't want wealth—who doesn't want to be wealthy—for their whānau[Authorised reo Māori text to be inserted by the Hansard Office.][Authorised translation to be inserted by the Hansard Office.]—generations to come. I will defy you to show me one. Yet when the moana and the whenua are prioritised our colleagues from the Greens get called wishy-washy and anti-wealth. Ridiculous argument—absolutely ridiculous argument.Hoi anō rā. Let's actually listen to some mana whenua—Rangitāne. Mana whenua and mana moana is the basis of Rangitāne values tikanga traditions—which are important aspects of Rangitāne. Rangitāne by the way are a post-settlement group entity in charge of the wealth; in charge of creating and growing wealth for their iwi for their region—not just Māori; the whole region will benefit."We do not support this Bill in its current form for the following reasons: … the Trust records its concerns about the timeframes proposed and set for implementation of this Bill;"(b) the rolling over of extant coastal permits has impact on mana whenua ability to undertake our kaitiaki responsibilities in this space we thus oppose options three to five in the [regulatory statement];"(c) there has been a lack of information adequate engagement and consultation especially in regard to environmental and cultural impacts that this proposal brings;"… we are concerned with the lack of robust analysis of the Bill;"… although we agree with reviews on coastal permits we are concerned with the expectations of the councils to undertake reviews without having any recompense in any way from Government;"… we are also concerned that there is a lack of balance between commercial and environmental interests and protections. Economic growth and industry or business assurance should not be at the expense of our environment".Now that sentiment was echoed through many submissions. I just want to say as my colleague the Hon Jo Luxton pointed out this side of the House was not completely vehemently opposed. All we ask for was more time as are the submitters.I do not—not to serenade you; that's for real Mr Speaker—commend this bill to the House."
