Bidois DanDAN BIDOIS (National—Northcote): E te Mangai o te Whare. It's my pleasure to rise in the second reading of the Ngāti Hei Claims Settlement Bill. I'd just like to touch on the previous speaker Hūhana Lyndon's key point about justice. My experience is that no Treaty settlement really provides for full justice for the actions that the Crown had done in the past. These redresses and settlements are in part to acknowledge the injustice but we know and acknowledge that it doesn't go the full way to giving back all the land that was lost. But this is a start. And that's something that actually both sides of this House have signed up to and iwi have also signed up to this process. And some iwi have done very well and also prospered as well. So just like to acknowledge that it is really small amounts that are part of this process and it cannot go any way to fully offset the pain and the resources that were taken away as part of that.But I turn our attention to the bill itself because we are in the second reading and this has been through a thorough select committee process. I'd like to acknowledge the previous Māori Affairs Committee in the previous Parliament. We were the benefactors of this bill in the new Parliament but the mahi really goes to the previous select committee so I'd like to start out by acknowledging them. I'd also like to start out by acknowledging the Ministers involved: Chris Finlayson was the lead Minister who led the negotiations as did Andrew Little. Also the negotiators and I'd like to pay a special tribute to them and the work that they do.But what is this kaupapa that we're here to discuss about? Well it is about the Ngāti Hei iwi which is one of I believe 12 iwi in the Hauraki area. I'd like to just say to any of you who are tuning in today from the Coromandel nau mai haere mai. We're sorry that you can't be here with us today.This is a relatively small iwi. They've been going through this process as was mentioned for the last 24 years in the making. So it's a long time coming. In fact 180 years since the pain and the actions of the Crown led to such emotive and physical destruction.The provisions of the bill are in four parts. Part 1 provides a Crown apology because as has been traversed in this House this iwi was left virtually landless. I think the previous speaker mentioned 2.6 percent of total land that they now occupy. So that is the key part of Part 1 is to acknowledge that and to apologise for the land that was taken and the damage to the environment as well. Part 2 lists 22 cultural sites that are given back to Ngāti Hei as part of the cultural redress. That includes areas near and dear to my heart like the Hot Water Beach and aspects of the Hot Water Beach there which is just fantastic.Part 3 talks about the commercial redress which is about $8.5 million plus contractual memorandums of understanding to enter into relationships with the Department of Conservation and to facilitate relationships with local authorities as well.And then there is a little bit more in Part 4. But as I said this is the second reading of the bill so it has been through a select committee process. That select committee process yielded 11 submissions and we only heard evidence of two submissions. As a result of those submissions there were no changes that were recommended. So it is really our privilege to be receiving the bill that was drafted in its entirety from first reading with the addition of some minor technical amendments which we're all familiar with in this House.So it is my privilege then to not take too much more time of the House but to say that this has been a good process and I commend this bill to the House. No reira tēnā koutou tēnā koutou tēnā koutou katoa.
