Ko au te māngai o te rohe o Te Waiariki e mihi atu nei mai i Ngā Kurī-a-Whārei-ki-Tihirau mai i Maketū ki Tongariro kei te mihi kei te mihi kei te mihi.[That's great!O Te Arawa o Te ArawaAn intruder and invaderLet them approach let them come closeTo advance upon the threshold to the house of Houmaitawhiti.Firstly we greet our Father in heaven the beginning and end of all things. Secondly we greet Kīngi Tuheitia and the royal household. Thirdly we think about those who have passed on the elders of Ngāti Tamaoho and the people of New Zealand and the family as well of the baby who died at the beginning of this week at Te Māhoe at Matahina in my region. May the dead sleep sleep and rest.Now let's return to the living: greetings Ngāti Tamaoho greetings to you all around. I am the representative of the Bay of Plenty region from Ngā Kurī-a-Whārei to Tihirau from Maketū to Tongariro. I greet you I greet you I greet you.]Ngāti Tamaoho today is your day and we all stand here and we acknowledge you and we acknowledge your whakapapa and we acknowledge the wrong and we acknowledge the attempt to put things right as well.This is a new process for me as a new MP to come into this House and to look over the process that occurs when we have iwi coming to the House to make right things that have gone very very wrong in the past. And your story is one of those stories. But today marks the day of a new dawn. It is Matariki this week and today I guess marks the New Year—a new time period for you moving forward.Can I say that I was very impressed and I did have a laugh to myself when I looked at your website. On the home page I think the whānau everybody up there in the gallery would be interested to know that on the home page of the Ngāti Tamaoho website whilst there's a little bit saying Register if you're one of us." the next bit down is a little karanga out there—well a challenge really—to your own people saying that you're seeking the next Ngāti Tamaoho Governor-General that you're actually seeking the next Ngāti Tamaoho Prime Minister the words being "Now that our Treaty claims work is nearly finished we're turning our attention to the goals in our 2050 strategic plan which includes having at least one Governor-General or Prime Minister who is of Ngāti Tamaoho descent."Ka rawe! I love that you have taken an inch and you have taken that mile. I love that you are dreaming big and you are seeing this not just as the day when you get to settle your grievance with the Crown but when you also create an aspiration for your mokopuna for your uri yet to come to say to them "You don't need to aim low any more kids. Aim high! Go for the top job! If those people down there can do it you can do it too." And I think that's a strong message that you should be sending out to your whānau to identify who that kid is going to be who those kids are going to be and I look forward to monitoring that to seeing one day the day when you get to stand there in the gallery again and sing for your mokopuna in the House your Ngāti Tamaoho and you get to stand there proudly and look down on them and know that things have come full circle—from the time where you've come from at the start of your journey and looking forward into the future.You have lots of be proud of. You have a very bright future ahead. You've set your goals in the most beautiful way and I absolutely wholeheartedly from my rohe commend this bill to the House. Kia ora rā."
