Waititi RawiriRAWIRI WAITITI (Co-Leader—Te Paati Māori): Ka tangohia taku pōtae. Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki-nui-a-Rua Rangitāne o Wairarapa me Rangitāne o Tāmaki-nui-a-Rua tēnā koutou. Tēnā koutou i runga i te āhuatanga o ō tātou mate ngā mate putuputu o te wā ngā mate o te hunga nā rātou i kawe pīkau ngā mamaetanga o ngā iwi e rua i roto i tau maha kua hipa ake. Kei te tangi tonu kei te mihi tonu kei te poroaki tonu rātou ki a rātou.Whakahaerengia tēnei kaupapa ki runga i a Pāpāwai. Ka mihi rā ki te tipuna a Te Mānihera Te Rangitakaiwaho ki a Hāmuera Tamahou Mahupuku me te āhuatanga o Te Kotahitanga o ngā iwi i raro i te maru o Ihoa o ngā mano tēnei rā ka mihi atu nei ki a koutou.[I will doff my hat. Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki-nui-a-Rua Rangitāne o Wairarapa and Rangitāne o Tāmaki-nui-a-Rua greetings. I greet you and acknowledge our dead the frequent deaths of the time the dead of those who have carried the burden of pain of the two tribes in the past many years. We grieve you still we acknowledge you still and we farewell you still let the dead be with the dead.The work on this issue was done at Pāpāwai. I acknowledge the ancestors Te Mānihera Te Rangitakaiwaho and Hāmuera Tamahou Mahupuku as well as the aspects of unification of tribes under the safeguard of the Lord God of the countless multitudes I stand here and acknowledge you.]Joint redress should not be determined by Government but by iwi and not the Crown who has inflicted and forced process that has been designed to divide and conquer our people. Whakapapa is about connection. Boundaries are about connection and not separation. This House cannot preach peace and prosperity for any iwi when this House has sponsored State terrorism on our people. It continues to do so today. It all feels like empty words to us: you can't cry about whakapapa when you are part of parties that continue to denigrate the mana or the whakapapa of tangata whenua through race-baiting policies. I want to acknowledge the mamae that the Crown has caused throughout this process. Te whakawehewehe i ngā iwi. I mua noa atu i te hē kau ngā whakahaere o tēnei Kāwanatanga i ngā kerēme Tiriti kāore tēnei tūāhuatanga i heipū ki waenganui i a tātou. Nā Te Karauna tēnei mahi nā Te Kāwanatanga tēnei mahi me ōna kaupapa whakahaere katoa.[The separation of tribes. This Government has long erred in its management of Treaty claims and this situation didn't merely come about by chance amongst us. But rather it is a result of the Crown with all its attendant administration.]This mamae has only intensified in the last two years' decisions made by the judiciary. Our Government flaunts itself as a beacon for indigenous rights on the international stage while exploiting the generosity of tangata whenua at home. Crown negotiation policies such as large natural groupings and the fiscal envelope have determined this engineering further division further harm and further breaches of Te Tiriti itself. That is why the Māori Party does not accept the settlements are full or final. The Crown may give us 1 percent of our land back but our mokopuna must fight for the other 99 percent. I would also like to remind the Crown that the Treaty was never about tangata whenua. We had mana motuhake long before the Dutch cartographer conferred the name Nova Zeelandia or the Latin equivalent of the Dutch New Zealand—the name of one of the last ports that transferred African slaves to America. The Treaty is what gives the Crown the right to be here and so I'm not sure why they're in such a rush to settle this. But we have the answers; Te Paati Māori have always had the answers to our mana motuhake policy. Te Paati Māori would transform the negotiation process ending Crown-imposed policies such as the full and final or large natural groupings. Instead we will affirm the right to all hapū and iwi to continue the struggle for the recognition of their rights and interests and for the return of their land; overhaul Te Tiriti settlement process and end the fiscal envelope; insert relativity clauses into all Te Tiriti settlements to ensure all iwi have parity with Ngāi Tahu and Waikato-Tainui who have paved the way; make Waitangi Tribunal recommendations binding on the Crown and implement all unaddressed Wai claims and recommendations; abolish full and final settlements like I've said and large natural groupings; return conservation land to whānau hapū iwi and Māori; introduce a first right of refusal policy for mana whenua when private land or historical significant lands come up for sale just like Ihumātao. Wērā āhuatanga katoa ka kitea i te oranga o ngāi tātou. E kore te rino e piri ki te keretū koinā hoki tētahi kōrero.[All those approaches lead to the benefit of all. There is another saying clay and iron will not stick.]The clay and iron will not stick. And this is the reason why we are here. There's another saying that we used at Te Whānau-ā-Apanui: it is like Rangi trying to fit her foot into Cinderella's slipper. Nō reira e hika mā ngā mihi nui ki a koutou Joe koutou Rangitāne Kahungunu ngā mihi nui ki a koutou. Tēnā koutou tēnā koutou kia ora tātou katoa. [Therefore friends many thanks to you all Joe Rangitāne Kahungunu many thanks. Greetings to you all be well one and all.]
