Simmonds Penny; Salesa JennyPENNY SIMMONDS (National—Invercargill): Thank you Madam Speaker. I rise to speak on this the Te Rohe o Rongokako Joint Redress Bill in this second reading. In doing so I acknowledge the descendants of Ngāti Kahungunu and Rangitāne and I congratulate them like the previous speaker Paul Eagle did on their perseverance and their resilience during this settlement process this redress process as well as their original deed of settlement process. This bill has gone through the select committee process and I note that my colleague Joseph Mooney in his speech in the first reading of this bill hoped that they would get out and about during the select committee process; indeed as the previous speaker has said they did. They went to the Papawai Marae in Wairarapa and heard 21 of the 28 submissions. Again noting some of the comment from the previous speaker I'm sure in the tradition of marae debate that the kōrero was robust and forthright and indeed an opportunity for opinions to be expressed. The bill gives effect to cultural redress that is shared between Ngāti Kahungunu and Rangitāne and contained within the deed of settlement for Kahungunu that was signed between Ngāti Kahungunu and the Crown last year in October and the deed of settlement between the Crown and Rangitāne that was settled on 6 August 2016. So a long time to get those settlements but then even longer to get this cultural redress of shared matters. The legislation is necessary to give effect to certain aspects of the settlements. Exclusive settlement redress for each of the groups is provided in their respective deeds of settlement and this of course is the areas of common cultural redress being concerned there.The second part is the area where the joint cultural redress provided to Ngāti Kahungunu and Rangitāne is laid out and the provision for that overlay classification over Castle Point Scenic Reserve and also the provision for the making of regulations for the management of customary fishing in Wairarapa Moana and in the Ruamāhanga River catchment. There's also the provision for vesting in fee simple of the three cultural redress properties. And the previous speaker spoke a little bit about the implementation of that and the representation going forward. Part 3 of the bill makes that provision for the Wairarapa Moana framework including the establishment of the statutory board giving it certain functions and powers including the powers as an administering body of the Wairarapa Moana reserves. So the Bill recognises that while Ngāti Kahungunu and Rangitāne are different groups and trace back to different ancestors they are certainly closely interconnected sharing whakapapa and hapū affiliations. The grievances of Ngāti Kahungunu and Rangitāne include those which most settlements include and they are the Crown's acquisition of the vast areas of land and failure to ensure adequate reserves were protected in their ownership; the Crown's failure to provide ample reserves near Lake Wairarapa as it had agreed; the Crown's failure to protect iwi from virtual landlessness; and the erosion of their tribal structures and the social deprivation that resulted. So we acknowledge as other speakers have that it has been a long journey: first to get to their settlements but now also this joint redress bill. We thank them for their perseverance and hope that in the future meeting their potential will be enabled by this redress bill. Thank you.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jenny Salesa): I call on Willow-Jean Prime for five minutes.
