Hayes JoJO HAYES (National): Tēnā koe e Te Mana Whakawā. Ka huri au ki te mihi ki Ngāti Tamaoho kia ora. Ki ngā hapū o Ngāti Tamaoho kia uru mai ki tēnei rā pai he rā o te whakanui he rā o whakaaetia ai tō mate me Te Karauna ā ka whakatauhia ētahi wāhanga: nau mai haere mai ki Te Whare Pāremata he whare mō ngā tāngata katoa. Kia ora.[Thank you Madam Assistant Speaker. I turn to greet Ngāti Tamaoho kia ora. To the hapū of Ngāti Tamaoho who have entered on this good day a day for the celebration a day on which your issues with the Crown are agreed to and some aspects are settled: welcome welcome to Parliament House a house for all people. Thank you.]I'm pleased to stand once again in this House to speak on the third reading of another claims settlement bill the Ngāti Tamaoho Claims Settlement Bill. The third reading—this is the most important part of all of our readings that happen in this House. It is important because there is really only one other step left to go with this bill: Royal assent when it goes off to the Governor-General for her signing.I want to acknowledge the many people the negotiators of Ngāti Tamaoho for the hard work that they have done in bringing this bill to its final form. I want to thank all the whānau all the leaders of Ngāti Tamaoho and I want to also acknowledge mokopuna of Ngāti Tamaoho as well. While all the mātua and pakeke sit up in the gallery it is for mokopuna that you work so hard. They are your future; they are our future. That's why I stand here proud once again in being able to tautoko a third reading of a claims settlement bill.My colleagues have already outlined various details in this particular bill but I just want to outline the statutory acknowledgments over some of the waterways and conservation lands and resources. Before I came to the House I went on the Ngāti Tamaoho website and had a look at some of the projects that Ngāti Tamaoho have been working on especially around the area of te taiao the environmental area and the six major issues that Ngāti Tamaoho have been working in and on. It's all around the quality and control of the waterways. I am confident that now that this bill has come to this particular part of its process that having Ngāti Tamaoho in with the regional council in with the Auckland Council the Department of Conservation and other Government agencies that you will certainly have a very loud voice in how the Manukau Harbour is to be managed especially around some of the areas of pollution in that area. So I'm really pleased that you're going to be part and parcel of managing all of those areas.I also want to make comment around resilience of Māori because we talk about it in the House all the time when we come into third readings of claims settlement bills. And people have already discussed here in the House about the resilience and the patience that the people of Ngāti Tamaoho have gone through to get to this space.But I also want to talk about some of the other things that have happened—I've heard about in the House today—around the racism some of them call it unconscious bias towards our Māori rangatahi our Māori tamariki. I want to share with Ngāti Tamaoho that even in my family we weren't immune to things like that. When my sister turned five years old we lived 2 miles—back in the day—away from the local primary school. It was a metal road. That school bus drove straight past her as she walked to school. That's the kind of thing that as Māori—the resilience and the determination that we have suffered and have gained over time have actually set us in good stead to be great negotiators when it comes to claims settlement bills. I want to thank you all for your perseverance.When I started my kōrero I talked about mokopuna because today everything that's being said in this House is all being recorded as you know in Hansard. And hopefully one day when your mokopuna walk the halls—and maybe some of them will walk the halls of this House—they will be able to look back into the history books of Parliament and see the work and the great deeds that you have done in getting this bill into the House and getting it through in its final reading. From today onwards all that responsibility of the future of mokopuna will lay in your hands. It is not really how much you get; it is what you do with the money it's what you do with the lands it's what you do with your responsibilities that really counts at the end of the day. They are things that I tell my children and I talk to my mokopuna about that as well.So in closing I know my contribution is short but you know it's the words that are actually expressed that are the memorable part of the speech. So I turn back to you because as I said at the start I do stand proud every time I stand to speak on these bills. I think that no amount of money will ever pay back the hurt that Iwi Māori have suffered. However if we keep looking at the past we will learn that we must strive for a better future. And so I'm very proud to stand and wish Ngāti Tamaoho all the best for your future for the future of your mokopuna and I'm very proud to commend the bill to the house. Kia ora.
