Hipango Harete; Dyson RuthHARETE HIPANGO (National—Whanganui): Ka huri au ki titiro ki ngā manuwhiri o tēnei Whare. Ki ngā uri o Te Whiti o Rongomai ngā uri o Tohu Kākahi ngā uri o Parihaka nau mai hoki mai haere mai mō te pānuitanga tuarua o tēnei pire tō koutou pire.[I turn to look at the visitors of this House. To the descendants of Te Whiti o Rongomai the descendants of Tohu Kākahi the descendants of Parihaka welcome return welcome to the second reading of this bill your bill.]I turn to acknowledge our guests who have gathered here the people of Parihaka for this the second reading. In opening I refer to my last words at the first reading in addressing the House and our people of Parihaka with a line of lyrics from a song of Parihaka. Those lines of lyrics from that song that waiata were: Look to the sky the spirit of Te WhitiThe endless tide is murmuring his nameI know Te Whiti will never be defeatedAnd even at the darkest hourHis presence will remain.I'll sing for you a song of Parihaka.This bill for our Parihaka people Te Pire Haeata ki Parihaka is as we traverse through this process towards the third reading and the passage of this bill into law a dawning of a new age; with the tragic dark history of the injustices from the Crown upon our people of Parihaka.Those who have addressed the House this afternoon have traversed part of that history. If I may share for the benefit of our manuhiri today the purpose of a second reading of the bill is for us to come back to the House after the first reading and debate the matters the content of the bill which have been considered after further submissions and hearings from the people. I had the distinct privilege of serving as a member of the Māori Affairs Committee at the time that we were welcomed warmly at Parihaka for the hearing of those further submissions. I had the distinct privilege of being there with whanaunga at the time of He Puanga Haeata—the ceremony with the deed of the reconciliation being signed on 9 June 2017. Like a number of my colleagues here in the House we have reflected on the memories of the impact of that moment in time—a time in history as it affected us moving into the dawning of a new age. I am permitted only to take a brief call this afternoon and when it comes to the third reading of this bill I hope that I am indulged to be able to accordingly pay acknowledgment to our people who have travelled far our people of Parihaka in what rightly should be accorded them more time for this matter to be spoken to before the House. In closing I harken to those words again for New Zealanders to reflect on the real history and what it means because many of us are not affected by that. Many in our families our sense of history and our sensibilities are not deeply aggrieved by that. Those of us who know the mamae—we know the hurt. But the significance of the passage of this journey this bill is that the people of Parihaka are prepared to move into the future with the hope and the vision that was left them by their prophets Te Whiti and Tohu and to realise that to activate that.So at the third reading I will address that in terms of what I know the people of Parihaka are implementing with the $9 million fund that has been set aside. But the money is in no way in any means shape or form a sense of compensation. This is not a Treaty settlement bill; this is a reconciliation relationship bill and it is a bill premised on that moving into the future. In closing in the third reading I will seek that opportunity to address that further and I acknowledge our people of Parihaka. Ngā mihi nui kia koutou katoa. ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Ruth Dyson): Thank you and can I also apologise to the member. I omitted to give the one-minute warning bell but she clearly didn't need it. But my apologies for that. I call the Hon Willie Jackson.
