 Tena koe Mr Assistant Speaker Robertson. Kia ora ano tatou katoa. Me whakarapopoto i taku korero i te mea kua oti ke i a au te korero mo tetahi wahanga. Engari kua oti ke te wahi ki te Minita. Ko te wahi ki a au ko te Pati Maori me te ki atu ka tautoko ake i tenei o nga pire kei pohehe koutou kare te Pati Maori i te tautoko i te karanga. A engari paku korero. Tuatahi hai whaiwhai haere i te ahuatanga o te korero a te Honore Parekura Horomia e tangi ana te ngakau mo te Bill Bird ra tera o nga tangata i kaha ki te kawe i tenei o nga take ki mua i te aroaro o nga momo Minita. Kao. Ki mua i te aroaro o nga Minita i nga tau kua hipa ake. E tangi ana te ngakau ki a ia otira ki a ratau. Tera Maori katahi te tangata maia ko tera.  
Me wero tonu i te Honore Shane Jones. E ki e ki? He wahi obscure a Minginui he wahi obscure a Murupara. Come on. Ngati Manawa Ngati Whare maku tena korero i whakatika.  
E tika ana te korero a wetahi atu pera i a Nanaia Mahuta e ko etahi o nga iwi ka titiro mai ki te Kawanatanga ki te komiti whaiti te select committee ki te ki mai ma koutou ma te Kawanatanga ma te Karauna ranei e whakatikatika nga korero a-whakapapa. Ko taku ko te ki atu e kao ma nga iwi tera e whakatika kaua ma te Whare Paremata. Ko etahi ka ki ka noho me ki tata nei whanaunga nei engari kei te ki atu ki te Kawanatanga no matau tenei whenua me korero ki a matau mo te whakahoki mai i wa matau whenua. E kao ma nga iwi ano ra tera take e korero. No reira he nui nga korero i puta hei whaiwhai haere i tana korero.  
No matau te waimarie kia tae atu ki a koutou Ngati Pahauwera ki ta koutou marae ka mutu ki Tikitiki. Ahakoa i wepua au e wetahi engari he pai tonu te noho ki waenganui i era momo take he akoranga nui ki a au a-tiamana nei. Engari noku te waimarie kia tae atu ki reira ki waenganui i a koutou. I te pera ano ki a koutou o Ngati Maniapoto i ta matau taenga atu ki tera o nga whare te Tokanganui-a-Noho. Ka mutu i roto i te rohe o Te Waiariki ko Ngati Whare me Ngati Manawa e noho tata nei na runga i te ahuatanga o te ara whanaunga ara ko Te Wharepakau raua Tangiharuru. Ko koutou ano koutou. No reira ko taku noa ake he ki atu ka pai ka pai. Akiakina akiakina nga pire nei kia eke ki te taumata e tika ana.  
No reira kati koinei te korero a te Pati Maori tena koutou tena koutou. Kua tata eke kua tata eke. Kia hoki mai ki te wahanga whakamutunga ka ahua whakatoroangia pea nga korero ma te rua tekau meneti. Hoi ano tera korero tera. Kia ora tatau.

Thank you Mr Assistant Speaker Robertson and greetings once again to us all. I will shorten my address as I have already spoken at length about a part of the legislation. The part relating to the Minister has been covered already so my part is to talk about the Maori Party and say that we endorse this legislation in case you wonder whether the Maori Party supports it although the call is a short one. In the first instance and to follow up the tenor of the sentiments expressed by the Hon Parekura Horomia the heart mourns the passing of Bill Bird a man who worked hard to bring this legislation before the various kinds of Ministers; not true—Ministers in past years. The heart weeps for him and indeed for them. That Maori what a courageous one he was.  
I continue to challenge the Hon Shane Jones when he asserts that Minginui and Murupara are obscure places. Come on! How true is that? Get it right. Ngati Manawa and Ngati Whare I will correct that assertion.  
Some of the statements by other speakers are absolutely correct such as those of the Hon Nanaia Mahuta. Some tribes are looking at the Government at the select committee process and saying: leave it up to the Government or the Crown to rectify any issues about genealogy. I say no—tribes are responsible for that and not the House of Parliament. Some very close relatives are saying to the Government: this land is ours talk to us about giving it back. Not so that sort of issue is for the tribes to deal to. So a lot of talk has emerged to follow up her assertion.  
It was our good fortune getting to you Ngati Pahauwera to your marae and then moving on to Tikitiki. Even though I might have taken a bit of a whipping from some there it was still good to be amongst you in those kinds of issues and a huge learning curve for me as chairman. But I still considered myself lucky to be there amongst you. It was like that with you Ngati Maniapoto when we arrived at Tokanganui-a-Noho that ancestral house of all ancestral houses. So to the region of Te Waiariki to Ngati Whare and Ngati Manawa who are closely related through Te Wharepakau and Tangiharuru. You are really one and the same. So I simply want to say: well done great. Move and urge these bills along to a level most fitting for them.  
Enough for now. Congratulations and well done from the Maori Party. It is almost there nearly. When we come back for the final part we may extend our address by 20 minutes. Who knows what will happen. Congratulations to us all
