Ngarewa-Packer DebbieDEBBIE NGAREWA-PACKER (Co-Leader—Te Paati Māori): Kia ora. We agree that urgent action on climate change is an issue and probably should be an issue that unites us all in the House. We may have different versions of that unity! We are living in a world and acknowledge the extreme natural disasters the rising displacement the extreme poverty that we're seeing not only here in Aotearoa but disproportionately impacting on indigenous peoples around the world. The global climate and inequality crisis is something that is of huge concern to us and we acknowledge what our Green Party colleagues said—that climate change is here and climate change now.We're not surprised with the reluctance across the House on how we should be looking after our planet. We've heard that commercialisation profits should come before planet and people. Te Paati Māori however does not support the 2022 emissions budget and I don't think that's a surprise to the Government. We've had a strong view that it needed to be more ambitious and meet more international commitments and our obligations to future generations. However despite the denials on my right agriculture is causing 50 percent of this country's greenhouse gas emissions and this means that dealing with farm emissions is one of the most important decisions that the Government should be making around the climate crisis. So we don't agree that He Waka Eke Noa does that. In fact it fails and we've consistently called for the Government and particularly the Minister to provide more transformative action on the highest climate polluting sector which is intensifying dairy.We believe that Aotearoa has the highest per capita—actually facts tell us that Aotearoa has the highest per capita—methane emissions in the world and six times the global average is unacceptable. We'd immediately price methane emissions under the emissions trading scheme (ETS) set limits on stocking levels and phase out synthetic nitrogen fertilisers while also requiring manufacturers and importers of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser to pay for emissions under the ETS. So rather than advantaging intensified dairy and disadvantaging less polluting and less profitable Māori-owned beef and sheep farms as we've seen that a lot of this plan has done we would definitely look at transitioning and subsidising our landowners into regenerative and value-added farming. I think we can all agree that's the best way forward. Just as we saw with forestry the Government's relentless focus on engaging with wealthy dairy lobbyists has meant they have often ignored groups and sectors who have needed the most support to transition and remain economically viable.The Productivity Commission's report Low-emissions economy highlighted that Māori were particularly vulnerable to the downstream effects of the imposed cost of emissions and a high representation in low-income households. Nuances of collective ownership and governance models create lots of challenges and limit options for Māori. So despite the glaringly obvious gaps our belief is that more must be done to specifically focus on Māori communities and just transitioning and ensuring equality and equity are given priority to have access to rights and interests actually which many have yet to be resolved on. We agree that we must invest in new sustainable economies—actually we can give you a tip for that—however we think that that needs to be a blue economy which is about renewable energy strategies wind turbine opportunities and developing a sustainable future that isn't ruining our mokopuna's future. A just transition will never be just if it prioritises and follows commercialisation and multi-monopolies at the expense of tangata whenua. We believe more must be done to involve and assist Māori in leading renewable energy strategies and I'm really pleased to see what's going on with our Taranaki iwi-led strategy. As Taranaki uri we live the commercial clean-up of the decommissioning oil and mineral sector and continue to fight to stop 30 years of seabed mining and years of polluting discharge which no Government over the last eight years has stopped. As Taranaki uri we also live with polluted waters from agricultural sectors and our rivers are dammed to give us the worst electricity prices ever. So I agree we must have a more green focus with a blue economy in our prospects but it must be tangata whenua Tiriti-centric in an Aotearoa that means whānau hapū and iwi must lead. The solutions must be our own. Nothing less will achieve the reductions in emissions needed to keep our mokopuna safe and well. Kia ora tātou katoa.
