Hayes JoanneJOANNE HAYES (National): Kia ora e koro mā e kui mā e rau rangatira mā tēnā koutou nau mai haere mai i runga i te rā whakahirahira kia ora.[Greetings to you the elderly men and womenfolk and esteemed ones of a hundredfold welcome come hither on this important day greetings.]I stand to take this final call in the Rangitāne o Manawatu Claims Settlement Bill and I am very proud to do this. My contribution is actually going to concentrate on some key figures who have worked behind the scenes to actually get this bill here to the House. First of all I want to pay tribute to the formidable Ruth Harris—and she was a formidable person. She rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way but she was formidable in the fact that she drove this particular process for the iwi o Manawatū all the way to this point here today. As I said her staunch approach did get up the noses of people at times but I can tell you that during her time it was she who took the head office of Tānenuiārangi from Main Street in Palmerston North and established it at Awapuni Hospital. She needed some funding and she went to seek it not from a Māori not even from a Pākehā—she went to an Asian a Chinese investor who actually helped to establish the head office of Rangitāne o Manawatu at the Awapuni Hospital. I also want to acknowledge the Fitzgerald whānau: Rangi Fitzgerald his daughter Lorene who passed this year and who did a lot of work in behind the scenes—along with Ruth and the Harris whānau. Finally I would like to acknowledge Tānenuiārangi Te Awe Awe. The Te Awe Awe whānau make up the third branch of the whānau Rangitāne o Manawatu. They make up a big portion of how this bill came here to the House and along the way there were also the rangatira Te Rangi Baker and Auntie Ka Taite and her son Kim Pōtaka Taite who were mentioned in the House today. I remember meeting Auntie Ka for the very first time and I thought that she was a bit grumpy but she actually held her place in everything that she did. I take my hat off to those women and those men our tūpuna who worked diligently to this day. It is a shame that we cannot finish the whole thing off over the next few days but that is how it is and today is a celebration for Rangitāne o Manawatu. Today we also see the tamariki and mokopuna of those very people whom I have mentioned who have picked up the baton picked up where their tūpuna have left off and they have carried and continue to carry the mantle of their forebears as the Post Settlement Governance Entity (PSGE) group including the daughter of Ruth Harris another formidable Harris Danielle. And no Pita you cannot have Danielle up north; she is staying with us. She is ours and always has been ours. I want to also mention Chris Whaiapū. Chris is the son of Lorene Fitzgerald and the mokopuna of Rangi Fitzgerald and he is also on the PSGE group along with Hōhepa Sharland Tina Kāwana and Terry Hapi. Although everybody looks at that group and thinks that this is an amazing group together they carry a load of responsibility for Rangitāne o Manawatu into the future. We have heard about the commercial redress of the Tangimoana Forest. Just recently we heard and read in the newspapers about the farms that are coming up for sale through Landcorp—six in the South Island and three in the North Island. Two of those farms are actually in Rangitāne o Manawatu and Rangitāne Tū Mai Rā. In the newspapers there was a discussion around the iwi the settled iwi who will have the right of first refusal when those farms come up for sale. In closing I just want to say that Tangimoana Forest is one the other one is the future of Tangimoana station the Landcorp station. They are going to be the heavyweights of that PSGE group on the way forward for the economic development future of Rangitāne o Manawatu. I stand proudly to commend the bill to the House in this second reading. Kia ora.Bill read a second time.Waiata
