Volume:703;Page:2182. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]ADRIAN RURAWHE (Labour—Te Tai Hauāuru): Tēnā koe e Te Māngai o Te W’are. Tēnā koe. It is a great pleasure for me to stand to speak in the second reading of the Statutes Amendment Bill (No 4) tonight. There are 32 parts to this and that gives me 9.34 seconds to speak on each one of them which I will not do. I am bound to use a couple of Māori words again as I have done in the past. Just to give you a heads-up before the end of my speech the word I am going to be using tonight is “tito”. When used as a verb it means to invent or compose. When used as a noun it means to lie or deceive. At the time I use it I am sure you will work out which one I am using. Can I say that this is a fixer-up bill. It amends 32 Acts. I think that the Government might give a prize to the Minister with the most Acts in this Statute Amendment Bill. I am not sure exactly who that is.Kris Faafoi: It’ll be Bridges.ADRIAN RURAWHE: Yes I am not exactly sure. I do not think she is any longer a Minister actually the one who has got the most.In regard to the Ngāti Manuhiri Claims Settlement Act Part 22 of this Statute Amendment Bill (No 4) amends the meaning of right of first refusal land and of course it is critically important to those of us Māori electorate MPs that we do get the settlement legislation correct. I commend the Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations for getting this part of the amendment bill through to this stage. I am sure Ngāti Manuhiri will be very pleased that their Act will be corrected. So I give that out to them.Also with the Official Information Act I endorse the words that have been said by the Opposition side to the Government. I think it is really important that the Official Information Act 1982 is the best that it can be and that the general public have that right to find out information. I am not sure whether these amendments are exactly what they ought to be but we on this side are supporting this bill.I mentioned earlier the word that I was going to use. I will use it as a verb. Coming back from the Te Matatini festival there were many compositions of waiata—titowaiata—that expressed the people’s concern about things that are in this type of legislation. I encourage all of the members opposite to listen to the words of the haka of the winning group—the winning kapahaka. I mihi out to themW’ānau-a-Apanui and their haka entitled “Hone Kī”. I think the words within that particular haka are very relevant to the way in which the Government has proceeded with the type of legislation that we now find in front of us. It is legislation to fix what is obviously wrong with these 32 Acts and as I said that gives 9 seconds on each one of these in a 5-minute call—18 seconds if you are lucky enough to get a 10-minute call. I endorse the words of that kapahaka by W’ānau-a-Apanui and I encourage the members opposite—and others as well—to carefully look at what they say because they are relevant in telling this House the way that our people are feeling about what is happening in our Government and in this Parliament. Nō reira tēnā koe e te Mana Whakawā.
