Volume:700;Page:19506. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]MAGGIE BARRY (National—North Shore):Tēnā koe Mr Assistant Speaker. E ngā mana e ngā reo e rau rangatira mā tēnā koutou katoa. [Thank you to the authorities voices and leaders of a hundredfold. Greetings to you all.]It is indeed a historic occasion and a very great honour for me as the member of Parliament for the North Shore to take one of the final calls in today’s debate on the Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau Collective Redress Bill. It has been a long time coming. I acknowledge all of the people who have worked so hard in making today a reality.For me as a member of Parliament which includes the area—the republic they call it sometimes—of Devonport I would have to acknowledge that at times in this process I have felt ashamed of some of the people in my electorate with some of the attitudes that they have displayed. I think that Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei have done a tremendous job of being a good member of our community and of being good neighbours and if this sense of acknowledgment is not forthcoming from that community please accept it from me today as your elected representative; you are very welcome. The exciting housing developments and other initiatives that I have been briefed on by Ngārimu Blair and others are ones that will aid all of us help all of us and make us stronger in our community. For that I am very grateful and I am very grateful for your presence and what you give to us in this community.I spoke at the final reading of the Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei bill and I am very pleased to see that Grant Hawke is here today in very good health and in very good form because on that particular day it was not the case. So I am very pleased to see you here in good health this afternoon. I thank you for all the work that you have done as well. I would like to echo the sentiments of Kelvin Davis expressed earlier. In case of Takarunga my own Mount Victoria this is a Treaty settlement process that does not stop people from coming in to enjoy the maunga and the places that are treasured for us. It is access for all New Zealanders and I echo what he said—that it is not exclusive ownership and that the gift of sharing is something we can all learn from.As the chair of the Local Government and Environment Committee we have heard from Kaikōura about te korowai process which is all about gifts and gains and the collaborative approach and we have much to learn from these things as Pākehā and as legislators in this House of Representatives. As far as I am concerned today I would just like to add to what others have said before me very eloquently that these are very important and significant occasions and I thank all of you for the energy and effort that you have put in arriving at this time.I acknowledge the negotiators for the iwi the indefatigable Mike Dreaver. I would also like to make a tribute to the Hon Chris Finlayson who as our Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations said at the outset of this debate that Treaty settlements take courage and they take perseverance. Is that not the truth? He would know; he has signed 43 deeds of settlement since November 2008. He also said that this process today marks the end of the beginning.This is a redress bill but it is a very important and significant step and it is I think a very good outcome. There is much more to be done and we will do it. There is cross-party cooperation around this and we have the tenacity and the determination as a Parliament to see this through and to process these historic Treaty claims. In closing I would say that I commend this bill unreservedly to the House. Kia ora.
