Kanongata'a-Suisuiki AnahilaANAHILA KANONGATA'A-SUISUIKI (Labour): It is a privilege and an honour as a non-practising social worker to be the 12th and last speaker on the Social Workers Registration Legislation Bill I want to acknowledge the Minister for Social Development the Hon Carmel Sepuloni for her leadership in navigating the important changes through the journey of this bill through the House. I want to acknowledge all my parliamentary colleagues and all of those who have contributed to the third reading of the bill. I too echo all my parliamentary colleagues and acknowledge the submitters and officials who have shared their insights into making value of this law. Our values and principles define who we are and dictate our behaviour as people. The social work profession is a value-based profession and those of us who were or are in the field do so because we believe it is our calling. I chose the social work profession because my values aligned with the values of social work—the values such as social justice human rights dignity respect for all people.In my first contribution I spoke about social workers going over and beyond and above the call of duty. I have two examples of that today. My first example is Oranga Tamariki—Oranga Tamariki now have a tool named Va'aifetu. Now Va'aifetu is a principle of Pacific frameworks where I played an integral role—but not just me; a team of people at the collective of the Auckland Pacific Island Network at Oranga Tamariki. Va'aifetu is the holistic approach of well-being looking at people with dignity not treating them as problems or something to be social-worked. It is about people.This is the legacy of Pūao-te-ata-tū. In 1986 that was the name of the ministerial advisory committee on a Māori perspective for the Department of Social Welfare 1986 as chaired by John Rangihau. In his presentation of the document in terms of the committee part of the letter to the Hon Ann Hercus the Minister of the Department of Social Welfare—in the last paragraph the letter read and I quote It is imperative that the wishes of the people who promote a philosophy of self-help 'Tama tu Tama ora Tama moe Tama mate'-'You stand you live you sleep you die'-[be fulfilled.] It is your role to attest and implement for Māori people into the new dawn." They also urged the Minister then to take this beyond the year 2000 for Māori people and to urge the Minister to do so. It is now 2019. This contributes to the legacy of Pūao-te-ata-tū and I urge all members in this House to read that document—to reread it—including myself.I'm going to end here because I think all has been said. I want to urge the members above in the gallery to sing along with the waiata that was developed for Pūao-te-ata-tū to sing along with the waiata and I'm going to also ask members my colleagues in the House to sing along. The reason why I've chosen this is there is still much to do and there is still much to do even though we are leading and delivering at this stage.I commend this bill to the House and if we could sing "Pūao-te-ata-tū"—I haven't been known to be the greatest singer and if I could please ask the people in the gallery and my colleagues to be upstanding so we could sing the waiata "Pūao-te-ata-tū".Anei rā aku ringaringaHe ringaringa māuKo au te atatūPupuritia kia mauHe kaimahi māuKo au te atatūKo te manawanuiMe te tūmanakoKia ea ngā wawata A tō iwi eKo au te atatū[Here are my handsHands to help youI am the morning lightCatch it and hold onto itA worker for youI am the morning lightIt is patienceAnd hopeThat will satisfy the dreamsOf your peopleI am the morning light]I commend this bill to the House.Bill read a third time."
