Luxton JoJO LUXTON (Labour): Tēnā koutou katoa. It gives me great pleasure to speak to this settlement bill. I wasn't on the Māori Affairs Committee but I have spoken to colleagues that were on the committee and have told me a little bit about the bill and about Ngāti Tamaoho. I want to join with other members in welcoming the people who have journeyed to Parliament today for the third reading of their settlement bill. This is a significant milestone in an arduous process but one that will provide opportunities for their future. So I congratulate Ngāti Tamaoho for their decision to accept this settlement.I listened carefully to the Minister's contribution on the history of Ngāti Tamaoho. It outlines how the Crown has failed in its obligations to Ngāti Tamaoho the result of which has left Ngāti Tamaoho without the economic base that it once enjoyed. This alone is reason enough to apologise to Ngāti Tamaoho so I support the Minister's comments about the apology.I understand that there were only two submissions on this bill. I guess that means that everyone must agree with this bill as it is my experience that if people disagreed with the legislation then the committee would have heard all about it. Therefore I do want to acknowledge the submitters that took time to give their thoughts and their concerns to the committee. I've looked carefully at the Māori Affairs Committee report and it seems very clear to me that the committee have given thoughtful consideration to all the concerns raised with them.I would like to mention some of the cultural redress that is part of this settlement. There are provisions made in respect of geographic place names and in particular the Pratts Road Historic Reserve is changed to Te Maketu Historic Reserve. I think that it is important that geographic place names are returned to their original names so I am pleased for Ngāti Tamaoho. There are two properties the Clarks Creek property and the Karaka property that are to be vested in the trustees in fee simple. This I believe is very important. It is important that there is cultural reconnection for Ngāti Tamaoho to these lands. The Hūnua Falls property is vested in fee simple to be administered as reserves and I see that there are extensive provisions to be made for the timing of the status and future of improvements owned by the Crown on the property as well as the future joint administration of the property. Finally there is a cultural revitalisation fund of $590000 provided as part of the cultural redress. Surely this redress will enable Ngāti Tamaoho to continue working towards the conservation of their gifted sites. I want to acknowledge the Ngāti Tamaoho negotiators the Crown negotiator the officials and I also acknowledge the Minister the Hon Andrew Little. This is a very good settlement bill and it will provide excellent opportunities for Ngāti Tamaoho and their future generations. I am certain that they are looking forward to progressing their plans to the future. As one of the last to speak on the final reading of this bill I'd like to say that Ngāti Tamaoho have waited long enough for their legislation to be passed and I don't want them to wait any longer so I commend this bill to the House. Tēnā koutou katoa.
