Therefore we ask you to look after us in this situation as we make a contribution in this House. And so may the Mouthpiece support us now and forever yes!Furthermore we pay a tribute once again in regard to the circumstances of our many deaths. So from Stewart Island to the south and across to the East Coast extending to Manawatū in the west and up to the North Cape to Northland to the four corners of the country of New Zealand and to the families under the cloud of darkness walking in the shadow of the valleys of death bring forth your adornments of death to be mourned for this brief moment of time. This indeed is a dirge of lament to you my protective wall and mentors: "We indeed are the dread of the many and the envy of the multitude who have migrated to the vessel of calamity that has turned and departed to the heavens." And so to you and others to the many deaths of the moment return spiritually to them rest sleep and slumber. And so enough of that!This is a real honour to stand up today firstly and quite aptly so to extend a welcome to them to the families and to the hapū of Rangitāne o Manawatu who have arrived here for the final reading of this their bill. Therefore I extend a welcome to you collectively the families and hapū who have arrived here today so acknowledgments and salutations to you collectively. As the aphorism states: "Like the many stars in the sky so are there many of Rangitāne upon the land." Behold the breath of life!]It is a great privilege and honour to stand here today to speak to the third reading of the Rangitāne o Manuwatu Claims Settlement Bill. At long last we have arrived at this day and I endorse the words of the Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations in that respect. Today for me is a big celebration. It is a celebration of an iwi who have had the tenacity to navigate the treacherous pathway of Treaty settlement and to actually come out the other end of it with their integrity intact.I mihi to all of those who have been involved in bringing this settlement to a conclusion. Today is not the end really; it is just the beginning. It is a beginning of a new legacy and I am reminded of the words I said at the second reading. Today is a great occasion to remember that this is the completion of a legacy. I think I will remember that it is the day that we know that the completion of the tohu in Tūturu Pūmau can now take place. That signifies a significant conclusion for this legacy. But I say also that this is the beginning of a new legacy and it is a time for us to look to the future.I think that this settlement like all settlements will give Rangitāne o Manuwatu the opportunity to take this settlement asset and provide a better future for the next and coming generations. So I congratulate the settlement trust on the work that it has done so far and I acknowledge that it will not be easy. There will be challenges still to come. But as I have already said Rangitāne o Manuwatu have navigated the Treaty settlement process with honour and dignity and I do not see that there will be any challenges that will not be met. So I congratulate the settlement trust.I congratulate all of the hapū as well because it is actually the hapū who are the major beneficiaries of the settlement and so they should be. I look to all of the redress items—particularly for me the cultural redress items and my mind also goes to Pukepuke Lagoon the vesting of land at the lagoon the statutory acknowledgment and the deed of recognition. I think that those three significant items all together mean that Rangitāne will have a significant part to play in the conservation and the future of Pukepuke. I look forward as a member an uri of Ngāti Tauira to participating in everything that that piece of land that lagoon has for the future of all of our family. I also look forward to seeing the economic development. I think that is something I probably do not speak about often enough but this settlement provides an enormous opportunity for Rangitāne o Manuwatu to take its rightful place within the Manuwatū. Alongside the relationship mechanisms that are in the settlement Rangitāne o Manuwatu will be able to be at the forefront of the decision making within their own rohe. I have to say that Rangitāne o Manuwatu despite not having this settlement up to this day are already significant players and have a significant voice within the Manuwatū. I am not going to prolong this kōrero. I am just excited and happy for Rangitāne o Manuwatu.Nō reira i taku kōrero whakamutunga atu ki a koutou kua tae mai ki Te Whare nei e kī ana ahau i roto i tēnei kōrero nei kua tae mai te wā ki te whakaoti ki te whakahoki mai i te tohu ki roto i Te Whare kia tūturu pūmau ai. Nō reira i runga i tērā ka tukuna atu tēnei korōria hareruia ki a Īhowa o ngā mano. E Te Māngai o Te Whare tēnā koe otirā tēnā tātau katoa.[Therefore in this my closing address to you who have arrived here at this House I said in this contribution that the moment has come to hand to bring the symbolic landmark back within the House to enshrine it permanently. And so on that point I offer this glory and euphoria to Jehovah of the thousands. Mr Assistant Speaker I thank you but at the same time all of us.]"
