Lyndon HūhanaHŪHANA LYNDON (Green): Tēnā koe Mr Speaker otirā koutou ngā morehu ngā survivors koutou kei roto i te Whare. [indeed to you the survivors to you who are in the House]. We see you we feel you and we want justice for you. That is our duty as people of this House. You deserve justice. Give our people justice and today I bring the words and the voice of Hokianga Whakapau Karakia into this Whare. Puhanga-tohorā Te Ramaroa Panguru Papata Maungataniwha ngā pou o te Whare Tapu o Ngāpuhi e paihere nei i a tātou.[Puhanga-tohorā Te Ramaroa Panguru Papata Maungataniwha the pillars of the Sacred Hall of Ngāpuhi that binds us all.]I bring the voice of Hokianga. What is a house? Is it just a building some walls and a roof? It's a kāinga it's a place to provide shelter it's a place to raise your mokopuna and have your best life. But in Hokianga we have our kaumātua we have our whānau and we have our mokopuna in tents in their vehicles in shacks—kāinga kore in their own tupuna whenua. They live without water and heating. This is their reality. The negative impact of being kāinga kore of course affects your wairua of course it affects your physical wellbeing and of course it maintains all those issues that we have been affected by by the acts and omissions of the Crown.We have people in this Whare and I acknowledge our whaea from Hokianga Whakapau Karakia who brought her voice to the hui and fronted this issue with my cousin Roddy Pihema. It's about those who live outside the system those impacted like you ngā mōrehu those who have been impacted by the State those who cannot access our mainstream services.This is the story of Hokianga Whakapau Karakia. Golden sandy beaches? Āe. Beautiful mountains? Āe. Heaps of whenua Māori but it's so hard to whakamahi our whenua in Hokianga Whakapau Karakia. Homeownership is often unachievable. Rentals—there's a huge shortage. Emergency housing—that's in Whangaroa; you get exported to Whangaroa. Kāinga Ora homes—limited capacity and really hard to get on the list. Council pensioner flats—they're full. Kaumātua flats on our marae—they're full.Hauora Hokianga I acknowledge you as the bridge. I acknowledge Hauora Hokianga as the people who are on the ground who are trying their best to support and awhi our whānau because our whānau want to be on their tūrangawaewae. They want to wash in their river they want to sustain themselves on their whenua and they don't want to be exported to other parts of Tai Tokerau.Hokianga is mighty—40000 hectares strong massive blocks of whenua Māori and yet our land is prone to flooding. Our land is steep and often unusable for kāinga. I acknowledge there are many in this space trying to activate housing: Whenua Tōpū Trusts incorporations Ahu Whenua Trusts. We have funded initiatives through the last Government and this current Government whether it be Kāinga Ora the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development also the Homelessness Action Plan where we have Te Hau Ora ō Ngāpuhi and also He Korowai Trust trying to deliver support to whānau. Te Pouahi o te Tai Tokerau our iwi Māori-led housing prototype. These are all initiatives that are trying their best but it doesn't take away from the fact that Hokianga needs help now and into the future that is sustainable for our kaumātua is sustainable for our mokopuna that they may wash in their rivers that they may sustain themselves on their whenua tupuna and like you ngā mōrehu stand proud with your whakapapa now and for ever. Kia ora tātou.
