Henare PeeniHon PEENI HENARE (Labour): Madam Speaker tēnā koe. Thank you for this opportunity. Can I commend the member Greg Fleming who has just contributed his contribution. It's never easy speaking in te reo Māori if it's not your first language and in particular while this bill is particular to Māori fishery interests it is also very technical and the ability to speak Māori and describe it as well as the member did—I want to congratulate him.Mr Potaka myself and a handful of others in the room here will recall when the fisheries legislation was bulldozed through. In fact some of the iwi weren't very happy about the way the bill was originally pushed through into settlement and it caused some consternation namely amongst mine and my colleague Hūhana Lyndon's people of Ngāti Hine also the whānau Rongomaiwahine down the coast about the recognition of rights and fisheries whether it be ocean fisheries or freshwater fisheries. Mr Potaka myself Hūhana Lyndon and a handful of others from our time in university looked towards the fishery settlement as a particular kaupapa settlement that was groundbreaking for its time which is why this review is really important. I note too in this particular bill the need for another review again in the future. I think that's important because from the original legislation the time that's lapsed has been far too great. The fisheries industry is an agile industry. It's one that requires an agile sector to be able to have the kind of legislation and the frameworks to allow it to adapt to the changing nature of the fisheries industry.We've heard good examples today of how a mussel farm has grown in Ōpōtiki and how there are all these other opportunities for aquaculture for New Zealand in particular but often for the likes of Māori fisheries Te Ohu Kaimoana the processes in place to be able to remain agile in that space are quite difficult. There are a lot of reasons for that and some of them have already been canvassed. There are large iwi that have to have a contribution into the decision making of Te Ohu Kaimoana. This particular bill looks towards making sure that we can iron out some of those processes so that it is more agile that it is more representative and also that the distribution of funds from Te Ohu Kaimoana to iwi and in particular to Te Pūtea Whakatupu for those Māori in the urban settings is recognised it's accountable and also is distributed to specific kaupapa or to specific initiatives that will continue to enhance Māori fisheries into the future. So of course we support this bill. The irony that the first legislation that went through—for those who don't know Shane Jones wasn't a Minister at the time but he was certainly a key architect in the initial legislation and despite this work being completed in 2015 now we find Minister Jones again leading this particular bill. So we support this on this side of the House.Te Ohu Kaimoana—a number of us in the House have gone to the tribal meetings as Te Ohu Kaimoana went around the country. I commend them for the work they did. They met with thousands and thousands of interested stakeholders and worked really hard to have a real proper engagement with them instead of a lecture like many of the meetings and consultation meetings that members of Parliament had been exposed to in the past. So Te Ohu Kaimoana have done a great job. It's testament to their leadership from the board and their administrative team the chief executive. They're fantastic people and I wish them all the best in this next iteration of the legislation and can only warn and hope that the next review doesn't take as long and will continue to make sure that the Māori fisheries sector can grow can continue to be profitable and can continue also to be sustainable into the future for Māori fishery interests across the country. Kia ora Madam Speaker.
