Henare PeeniPEENI HENARE (Labour—Tāmaki Makaurau): Reo Māori e Te Māngai o Te Whare. Tēnei te tira ka tū ko te tira nā Turuora nā Rereahi nā Korehe nā Tūrongo; tēnā te tira te tira oti ana! Tira ka tū tēnā toitoi nā Haka nā Hauā; tira ka tū tēnā oti atu! Ko Kohukohunui te maunga ko Pīako te awa ko Tīkapa te moana ko Te Haupā te tangata ko Ngāti Paoa te iwi. Tuatahi māku ka rere tonu ngā mihi ki a Ngāti Paoa ki wāna uri katoa i mātakitaki i te haerenga o tēnei pire mai i tōna ōrokohanga tae noa mai ki tōna whakatutukitanga ka kitea e tātau i te ahiahi pō nei. Ka rere tonu ngā mihi ki a rātou nā runga i ngā uara i whakaritea e rātau hei tūāpapa mō ngā kōrero hei tūāpapa mō ngā mahi nui kai mua i te aroaro o Ngāti Paoa hei kimi oranga hei kimi hua mō ngā uri o Ngāti Paoa. Ko aua uara ko te tika ko te pono ko te aroha.[Māori language Mr Deputy Speaker. This is the travelling party that stands and it belongs to Turuora Rereahi Korehe and Tūrongo; that is the travelling party and it is complete! The travelling party that stands and that walks briskly belongs to Haka and Hauā; the travelling party that stands is complete! The mountain is Kohukohunui the river is Pīako the ocean is Tīkapa the man is Te Haupā and the tribe is Ngāti Paoa. The first thing for me is that the acknowledgments will continue to flow to Ngāti Paoa and to all its descendants who are watching the journey of this bill from its beginnings right through to its conclusion which we see this evening. Tributes will continue to flow to them as a consequence of the values they considered as a foundation for the comments and the important tasks that are before Ngāti Paoa seeking a livelihood and seeking outcomes for the descendants of Ngāti Paoa. Those values are justice validity and empathy.]Ngāti Paoa have been true to their word. Ngāti Paoa have worked with the guiding principles of tika pono and aroha and I commend them for that. They made that very clear from the beginning. Those particular principles I can say have not been upheld by this Government. Tika pono and aroha in all that they did in all that they hoped to do for their people—those principles were not upheld by this Government and I am disappointed. I am disappointed that this particular Government has used this process to solve a crisis that it has been hiding from ducking from and ignoring for so long. Ngāti Paoa have been caught up in the crossfire. Ngāti Paoa who came into all discussions with members on this side of the House and that side of the House with the principles of tika pono and aroha have been bruised and have been hurt by the mechanisms put in place by this Government to see them into the housing development on Point England.My colleague spoke of a decay of process and that has been evident from this Government from the beginning. The scope given to the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE) for this particular bill was as short-sighted as this Minister. The scope given to MBIE for this bill was so limited that it shut out the entire community. In fact the scope was so small that I am sure that the many advisers and even the Minister and the select committee were surprised to see just how many submissions were made on this bill with most of them opposing it. They were not opposing Ngāti Paoa—not opposing Ngāti Paoa at all. In fact they were encouraging this Government to find alternatives for them. We offered an alternative—the Labour Party. We offered an alternative from the outset of this bill. The Government turned its nose up at it. Apparently it knows best. It knows best! It has isolated torn apart and certainly left the community of Point England Glen Innes and Tāmaki bruised hurt and confused. I use all of those terms because these are the words expressed to us by that community. This particular Government thought it was rather funny that we on this side of the House supported this bill in its first reading. We did. And it was exposed as the bill progressed through this House—the failures of this Government. There are a number of bills that that side of the House has supported in their first readings—some very good bills; some very good bills. In fact one of them funnily enough was under the Labour administration. The Social Security (Working for Families) Amendment Bill was voted for in the first reading by that party the National Party only for it to vote it down through the rest of that particular bill—something about communism by stealth. Now all of a sudden the shoe is on the other foot. The people of Tāmaki-makau-rau are suffering from some poorly thought-out settlement mechanisms put in place across Tāmaki-makau-rau. I say that having witnessed many of those bills come through this House. Overlapping interests—those members may beat their chests about how well they do in the Treaty settlement space. They ignored the fact that there would be people excluded there would be people hurt and there would be people disenfranchised. We are going to see that come to fruition under this Government in legislation of this nature. The people of Tāmaki-makau-rau deserve a housing policy that will truly see this crisis alleviated. The member for Hunua boasted about the developments soon to take place in his electorate. I wonder whether he would agree to having a housing development built right by the falls—the pristine falls of the Hunua Range. I doubt it. My colleague Mr Twyford has already spoken about the new park that will be established—the playgrounds and the sports fields. Well I wonder whether and I hope that Minister will be there when the ball is kicked into the water to retrieve that ball because that is what those members are condemning the community of Tāmaki to. They may claim they have all these answers; they do not. They have failed to address this housing policy they have failed the people of Tāmaki-makau-rau and they have failed Ngāti Paoa. So I want to say this to my tuakana Hau.E te tuakana kātahi anō au ka kite atu i a koe ki roto i tō tātou Whare e hari koa ana. I konei koe i te tīmatanga kei konei tonu koe i tōna whakatutukitanga. Pupuru tonu koe otirā koutou o Ngāti Paoa ki ngā uara i whakatūāpapa e koutou i ō koutou mahi mai i te ōrokohanga o tēnei pire. Kua kōrero atu ahau mō aua uarā ko te tika ko te pono ko te aroha.Mai i a mātou o tēnei taha o Te Whare e te tuakana e Hau otirā a koe hoki e Te Māngai o Te Whare kāhore mātau e whakaae ana ki tēnei pire nā runga anō hoki i ngā uara i kōrero mai a Ngāti Paoa i te tīmatanga o tēnei pire. Nā runga i te tika tā te mea i hē tēnei Kāwanatanga i te hapori o Tāmaki. Nā runga ano hoki i te pono tā te mea kīhai te hapori o Tāmaki-makau-rau e whakapono ana ki tēnei Kāwanatanga. Ko te uara whakamutunga ko te aroha. Kei hea te aroha mō te tini kei hea te aroha mō te mano kei hea te aroha mō ngā tāngata katoa o Tāmaki-makau-rau?Kāti ka mutu atu au i konei me tēnei kōrero atu ki a koe e te tuakana e Hau kia kaha rā koutou ki roto i ngā mahi kai mua i a koutou. Kei konei tonu mātou me te kī atu ā tōna wā ka uru mai te pire tatū ai i ō koutou nawe ki mua i te aroaro o tēnei Kāwanatanga ka tautoko mātou o tēnei taha o Te Whare i a koutou me ngā whāinga kai mua i a koutou. Kāti e te tuakana e Te Māngai o Te Whare tēnā koe tēnā koutou kia ora tātau katoa.[At last I have seen you Hau the elder sibling in our House and I am thrilled. You were here at the beginning and continue to be here at its conclusion. You and indeed you collectively of Ngāti Paoa held on to the values that you used as a foundation for the tasks you collectively worked on at the beginning of this bill. I have alluded to those values which are justice validity and empathy. From us of this side of the House elder sibling Hau but at the same time you also Mr Deputy Speaker we do not agree with this bill because of the values that Ngāti Paoa commented on at the beginning of this bill. It was based on justice because this Government erred with the community of Auckland. It was also based on validity because the Auckland community did not believe in this Government. Empathy was the final value. Where is the love for the multitude the thousands and for all the people of Auckland?And so I conclude here with this comment to you elder sibling Hau: you collectively must be resolute indeed in the tasks that are before you. We will still be here and add that when the bill returns with your grievances which are before this Government addressed and it comes before the House again we on this side of the House will endorse you and the objectives that are before you. Enough elder sibling and thank you Mr Assistant Speaker my appreciation to you collectively and to us all.]
