Logie JanJAN LOGIE (Green): Kia ora Madam Deputy Speaker. I too would like to acknowledge what a privilege it is to stand in the House and speak on Treaty settlement bills. I am now speaking on this bill on behalf of the Green Party for the second reading and when acknowledging Catherine Delahunty who spoke for us at the first reading as our Pākehā Te Tiriti spokesperson—it is a big job to step in to her shoes.I would like to start by acknowledging a point that she always made in her speeches that really the work of committing to new partnerships and acknowledging the past wrongs is primarily the job for Pākehā. For too long these discussions and the burden of these unresolved grievances have been borne by Māori and the responsibility of speaking to them has been left with Māori when in actual fact the job and the work to be done is work for Pākehā.Also it is traditional for the Greens on all readings of Treaty bills to acknowledge that for us Te Tiriti is not just about property rights; it is about an ongoing relationship between iwi hapū and the Crown. As such Te Tiriti can never and should never be settled. It is a relationship.It is also I guess our tradition to acknowledge that through the process of these so-called settlement bills tensions are often still created by ongoing Crown policies. One of those policies is the policy to settle large natural groupings which makes this process easier for the Crown but does not reflect the true intent of Te Tiriti which was a relationship between the Crown and hapū. We have again seen that in the process of this bill coming to the House with the one opposition submission coming from a whānau who did not support the designation of this large natural grouping at least in their submission.But the Greens are always in support of this. We acknowledge that the process—it's been mentioned 11 years through this part of the process. But clearly for Heretaunga Tamatea this has been well over 100 years of raising their voice coming together organising and doing whatever they could to be able to challenge the unjustifiable theft of their land and the breaches of the Treaty. So it is important to acknowledge this moment and this step closer to a new beginning for this group of people and for all of us as a country in having the opportunity to understand a little bit more of our history so that we can move forward into a better future for all of us. Just to speak to some of the points that were raised through the submissions many of which have been raised by previous speakers and I will touch on them again. Specifically I understand from the 47 submissions 33 oral submissions that Te Aute College and the issue of the Glasgow leases which have been mentioned was of very significant concern. In the settlement it's a specific application of $5 million to support the sustainability of Te Aute College and a $10000 ex gratia payment by the Ministry of Justice to support their trust board to gain advice on how to alleviate the issue of the Glasgow leases.This is really important particularly in how we've seen so many of the Māori legacy schools lost to our communities over recent times and the very special place that Te Aute College plays in the history of this country and the support and the development of some quite significant Māori leaders who we've all benefited from. So there was strong support for that and it's great to see that the Māori Affairs Committee has commissioned a report I understand on the Glasgow leases. So this is not work that is finished here; actually there will be ongoing work on that issue.Also to acknowledge concerns that were raised by multiple submitters around the effectiveness of the Hawke's Bay Regional Planning Committee—it is about the core around Treaty relationships that regional planning committees engage with mana whenua in making the decisions on the use of land. Submitters raised concerns that the planning committee who works to oversee and review the development of the regional policy statement and regional plans for the Hawke's Bay region were not in their view living up to their commitment. So while this wasn't an issue resolvable within the scope of this bill because the regional planning committee was formed separately to the settlement my understanding is that there is a formal review of the Hawke's Bay Regional Planning Committee that will be happening from August 2018. So again this process does not end here.I also did want to just briefly touch on as well that while there are elements of this settlement that include standard commercial and cultural redress there are distinctive aspects relating to the vesting and gift-back of Cape Kidnappers Gannet Reserve and Cape Kidnappers nature reserve and that those I think do offer another indication of the important role that mana whenua often play in kaitiakitanga which is to the benefit of all of us.In the final moments I did just want to speak to some of the points that were raised from He Toa Takitini and the principles that led them in this work towards this settlement because I think they are important to acknowledge through this process. One of the principles was working to have acknowledged the huge generosity of Ngāti Kahungunu to the people of Hawke's Bay and to us as a country: that Ngāti Kahungunu looked after the settlers who went on to exploit and take their land and dispossess them that they maintained a spirit of peace in response to that significant grievance that they are still carrying today from the loss of their land and their opportunities and the poisoning of their waters that fed them previously and that right through that process they organised peacefully and sought to engage constructively. What they received in return were lies and promises to act that were never fulfilled. How people move on with 150 years of that happening to me is quite extraordinary and needs to be acknowledged. When we hear so much of the rhetoric through stories of negative statistics we miss the true resilience and the mana of the people who have been so badly treated by our Crown and our settlers. So I think one of the key things of this process is to restore and acknowledge the mana that should never have been denied of Ngāti Kahungunu. Thank you.
