Davidson MaramaMARAMA DAVIDSON (Co-Leader—Green): Tēnā koe e Te Māngai o Te Whare. Tēnā tātou katoa. Ōku hoa kaimahi tēnā koutou. Ngā iwi Ngāti Whakaue Wāhiao Tūhourangi o Whakarewarewa ngā iwi ngā hapū katoa i tēnei rā nau mai haramai whakatau mai ki tō Whare ō Pāremata.[Greetings Mr Speaker. Greetings to everyone. My work colleagues greetings. The tribes Ngāti Whakaue Wāhiao Tūhourangi of Whakarewarewa—the tribes and all of the subtribes who have arrived today welcome. Welcome to your House to your Parliament.]Like my colleagues and especially those on the Māori Affairs Committee we are really delighted to be able to stand today to support this the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute Vesting Bill. As many have said so much mahi has gone in to bringing this to fruition today.It essentially is a return of the Māori Arts and Crafts Institute's assets and liabilities to Te Puia NZMACI as the limited partnership. That is the core of what we are finalising here today. I remember in my I think first and second reading speeches I wanted to very profoundly acknowledge what is at the core of this bill which is the taonga of our arts and crafts the whakapapa of our arts and crafts the ever-evolving nature of our arts and crafts. We are affirming the ongoing developing evolving nature of how we bring the beauty and the taonga of our arts and crafts through Te Puia and can allow for the ongoing operations and the mana motuhake of iwi and hapū presiding over and with Te Puia.This is a bill about valuing our arts and our culture and valuing the leadership required and understanding where that leadership is best placed. I mean I remember the submissions that day in Rotorua and I remember saying how I needed to draw up a whakapapa piece of paper to try and keep up with as someone who was not of that whenua the Game of Thrones sort of—[Interruption] No this is beautiful right? This is all part of us—this is all part of us. These come through in all the Māori settlements the Treaty settlements and the bills of this nature and it's a rich rich discussion. I did have to draw diagrams of all the interactions and the connections between the hapū iwi and whānau because that's how we always have been. So this bill the journey of it involved a lot of digging into the understanding of whakapapa and the understanding of the wehenga—also the wehenga that were caused by Crown processes and colonisation—and the understanding of how to bring our people back together again in the best way we can.So those were the main points I wanted to acknowledge at the final reading of this bill. It was reviewing and going back over how important that kōrero is and how challenging that kōrero also is and finally realising the transfer of this taonga and of the assets and liabilities back to where they should have always been.I too wanted to join in with my colleagues in acknowledging the role of Tāmati Coffey because I understand Tāmati Coffey is our final speaker after me I believe in this House tonight. I wanted to make sure that we gave precedent and importance particularly to Tāmati Coffey as the electorate MP and as a whakapapa connection to this bill to that whenua and to the many hapū iwi and whānau involved.So I really just wanted to maintain the Green Party's support for—and acknowledge the origins and the Ministers and origins who helped initiate this as well and arriving today to Minister Mahuta who has the privilege of finalising this journey the importance of our political support to doing what is right and to the responsibility we have to oversee and make sure that we are setting up a strong framework to allow the operations and the relationships to continue in a way that is tika as well including the Crown and iwi Tiriti relationship.So I want to make sure that I leave good time for all of our speeches and particularly for my colleague Tāmati Coffey to be able to bring all of our kōrero together to acknowledge the importance of what is happening in the House with this bill today to acknowledge the importance of all of the iwi and hapū who have joined us and to again stipulate my proud support for this bill passing today. Tēnā koutou.
