Rurawhe AdrianADRIAN RURAWHE (Labour—Te Tai Hauāuru): Tēnā koe e Te Māngai o Te Whare otirā ki a tātou katoa tēnei te mihi ake. Oti noa ki a koutou ki ōku whanaunga o Ngāti Rangi tēnei ahau tuku mihi atu ki a koutou katoa kua tae mai ki te whakarongo ki ngā kōrero e pā ana ki tō tātou pire kei roto i Te Whare nei nō reira nau mai haere mai tēnei te mihi atu tēnā tātou katoa.[Thank you Madam Deputy Speaker greetings everyone. To my kinsmen of Ngāti Rangi I offer warm greetings to you all who have come here to listen to speeches about our bill in this House; welcome welcome thrice welcome to one and all.]It's a real pleasure again to take a call on this debate the second reading of the Ngāti Rangi Claims Settlement Bill. I sat on the Māori Affairs Committee and I want to endorse the words of my colleague Nuk Korako for his elegant contribution to the select committee process. It is one of the select committees of this Parliament that does work collaboratively—as he would say under kotahitanga. I just want to acknowledge all the members of the select committee but I also want to acknowledge the clerk of our select committee Aaron Williams and the deputy clerk Miles Sutton as well along with all of the officials that supported us in looking at this bill.I went back and looked at what I said at the first reading and I wanted to continue the theme that I spoke about then. One of the things I said was that in the deed of settlement it was Ngāti Rangitanga that permeated throughout that deed of settlement. Indeed it also permeates throughout this bill here. One particular part that I wanted to look at in a little bit more detail is Te Mana Tupua o Te Waiū-o-Te-Ika which is Te Waiū-o-Te-Ika framework. Te Waiū-o-Te-Ika starts on what we know as Koro Ruapehu—on the mountain at the crater—and it goes all the way out to the sea commonly known as the Whangaehu River but not just the Whangaehu. It is an indivisible whole including everything that flows into the river and I think it's important to recognise a couple of things about Te Waiū-o-Te-Ika.Number one was that Ngāti Rangi had the tenacity enough to get this part of the bill into the deed and now into the bill because it sets up a framework for the protection of Te Waiū-o-Te-Ika. I think that not only does this piece of legislation do that for Ngāti Rangi but it also does it for all of Ngāti Rangi's whanaunga who are connected to those waters through whakapapa through the water itself and everything that is indivisible as that whole.I think that's an expression of as I said their tenacity but also their generosity. So as part of that framework it includes a set of intrinsic values known as Ngā Toka Tupua o Te Waiū-o-Te-Ika and within the legislation it talks about exactly what those values are. It also has in that part of the legislation a subpart that gives legal effect to the framework and describes how it gives effect to the framework. It talks about the establishment of Ngā Wai Tōtā o Te Waiū which is a group that provides the strategic leadership which is required under the deed of settlement and when it becomes an Act.One of the things that this group has to do is as I said provide strategic leadership. It is made up not only of Ngāti Rangi and this is where some of that generosity comes into it but also of other iwi groups as well. It also includes local bodies with an interest in the river. They have a responsibility to go through a legal process to produce Te Tāhoratanga o Te Waiū a strategic leadership document; although that's not the words that are used in the legislation not exactly—some might say a strategic plan". I don't think that would describe it adequately enough but I'm sure members get the picture.So there is quite a prescribed process to go through that is in the legislation to produce that document and that document will I think along with all the other parts of the framework become quite a powerful part of this legislation. It's probably not received the attention that it deserves and it probably has gone under the radar within the whole process but I think that in its time it will become one of the most important parts of this legislation—notwithstanding the fact that all the other redress elements within the bill will provide an incredible future for the next generation of Ngāti Rangi and that ought to be acknowledged.I think the future for Ngāti Rangi is great and as my time runs out I will say that I hope to have a call in the third reading and talk about that future. But for now there are so many good things within this settlement. Once again I join my colleague Nuk Korako in expressing how wonderful it was to visit Ōhākune to hear the evidence during the select committee process. I think if I was to characterise and summarise what Mr Korako said we heard concerns; we sought further detail and information from officials; we considered that; and we made our decisions which are within the commentary at the beginning of this bill. I truly do believe that this bill is the best that it can be under the framework of the Crown and next to the framework of Ngāti Rangi. I think Ngāti Rangi has maximised the possibility of the framework of the Crown to achieve what they have for their settlement. Nō reira kāore e roa tēnei tū oti noa e tika ana kia tuku mihi atu ki Te Whare nei otirā ki a koutou o Ngāti Rangi tēnei anō te mihi ake ki a koutou nō reira tēnā tātou katoa.[Therefore I won't linger further other than to reiterate the greetings extended in this House especially to you Ngāti Rangi greetings one and all.]"
