Edmonds BarbaraHon SIMON BRIDGES (National—Tauranga): Like the previous member it is a pleasure to rise and speak on this. I spoke at the first reading and just note that of course the members of Ngāti Rangitihi were here for that but now we're in a position where it cannot be so. And as my colleague Joseph Mooney said of our life and the world we live in these are strange times. But nevertheless it's good to be here speaking on this second reading. I'm not on the Māori Affairs Committee but I have been on it previously. Good times simpler times I really enjoyed it actually—getting around the rohe and the motu and checking out little marae all over New Zealand.This bill of course does a few key things in terms of key settlement outcomes. There's $11.3 million there in financial redress comprising $7 million throughout the Central North Island Forests Iwi Collective settlement; the right of first offer of the Rotomahana farm currently owned by Landcorp; and the right to buy the land under Matatā School and the school house site with a lease to the Ministry of Education. There's also of course cultural redress which is usual in a case such as this for Ngāti Rangitihi and that reflects in relation to the Crown Minerals Act—and I was the first Minister of the Crown to do such protocols and agreements—the Resource Management Act and the Fisheries Act and the deed of settlement provides for the vesting of 19 sites to be transferred to Ngāti Rangitihi as cultural redress.Of course as the previous member has said this is a great part of the world where Ngāti Rangitihi live. I know it very well I've spent a lot of time there—Matatā a great place to stop for a pie a great part of the world; very beautiful there on the Matatā straits. And of course Lake Tarawera as well—in my view the most beautiful mystical lake in New Zealand. There's one or two—Waikaremoana could come a close second because it's a beautiful one too—but actually I think Tarawera is just very very special and as I say my favourite lake in New Zealand having spent a bit of time there over the years. This is a special area. As with all Treaty settlements what's in it won't compensate fully and in some ways it's token but it does acknowledge and provide redress for the harms the injustices of the past.That of course brings me to National's position on Treaty settlements and they're rather straightforward. I've said this before and I'll say it again: National is proud to be the party that has started this process fundamentally with Jim Bolger and Sir Doug Graham and has carried it on through the likes of the inimitable some would say idiosyncratic Chris Finlayson and others under John Key's tenure. We have seen more Treaty settlements than the other big parties. We are proud of that. We're proud of our role in progressing historic Treaty settlements to deal with and provide redress for historic injustices. That doesn't mean that we think that actually you know all that Te Arawhiti and the likes of Willie Jackson Kelvin Davis are doing—prospectively—is right. Actually we think there are some of those things which are a bit adventurous which actually put New Zealand on the wrong path. But in terms of this bill and this historic Treaty settlement process that Te Arawhiti leads we're fully behind it. We will enjoy celebrating with Ngāti Rangitihi at the third reading. ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jacqui Dean): I call Barbara Edmonds. BARBARA EDMONDS (Associate Whip—Labour): I'm sorry it's on the Chamber—I'm just checking. The Chamber staff online hasn't responded back to the member—ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jacqui Dean): Is this a point of order? BARBARA EDMONDS: A point of order yes. Thank you Madam Speaker. I'm just noting that we have a member who's sought a call on the Zoom and we haven't had a response from the Chamber staff to say it's been received. ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jacqui Dean): Yes thank you for that. With the footnote with apologies to the Hon Eugenie Sage I call—coming in remotely—Tāmati Coffey.
