Kapa-Kingi MariamenoMARIAMENO KAPA-KINGI (Matarau—Te Pāti Māori): Tēnā koe Mr Speaker. Ka pai. Tēnā koe. So to build on my kōrero from earlier this afternoon I now stand and question the real vision of this Government. In the first 100 days this Government has repealed Act after Act and not replaced them and if they have been replaced then it has been to the detriment of our people and in actual fact to the detriment of their so-called one New Zealand which is the preferred rhetoric. I think it goes like All New Zealanders" which is tantamount to "We are all the same." which finally lands with "We are all the privileged entitled white same." Hon Member: Oh! MARIAMENO KAPA-KINGI: Despite the groaning in the corner we have endured and continue to endure—only naming a few—the disestablishment of Te Aka Whai Ora a Māori institution. They had barely much room to get themselves going and suddenly it's like "No no no. That might just be a bit too brown for this time." The Legal Services Amendment Bill the misuse of drugs amendment bill the road-user charges amendment bill business payment practices—Hon Member: What's this got to do with the bill? MARIAMENO KAPA-KINGI: I know the list might be a little bit long for that side of the House but at least listen and try and appreciate the position. The Firearms Prohibition Orders Legislation Amendment Bill—which will be discussed later tonight—and finally the bill which we stand here to debate tonight the land transport management amendment bill. All of these bills were pushed within the 100 days. Clearly the Government coalition obviously didn't realise or didn't trust or have any faith in their work that they wouldn't take it to the people.Tom Rutherford: Yeah we did.MARIAMENO KAPA-KINGI: Really? You know like take it out in a select process in a real way not in a "just speaking to your own mates" way and suddenly landing here.So 100 days it's taken this Government to undo the work of generations of Māori—generations of Māori. [Interruption] That might be an unheard-of position on that side of the House but just let me continue and hopefully these people on my left will take some time and take a breath. Generations of Māori have committed to the reclamation of what is rightfully ours under—wait for it people—Te Tiriti o Waitangi—you might want a little bit of a session on that but let's just carry on—otherwise referred to as the tino rangatiratanga document. Again that's another education session which we might if we bothered provide. All of these bills and all of these points lead me to question what is the Government's real vision their real focus for Aotearoa and for Māori in Aotearoa? ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Greg O'Connor): Ms Kapa-Kingi it's been half the speech now. We'd like you to get to the bill please.MARIAMENO KAPA-KINGI: All right. With this bill there was no clear vision at least not beyond this coalition's three-year term. A lack of vision beyond three years is in essence a lack of direction for all of Aotearoa. This will be the third time in a span of 30 years that a National-led Government has repealed such a tax. This Government illustrates a continuous failure when it comes to innovative thinking and so I'll repeat: this is the third time in 30 years the Government has repealed such a tax. I'm getting to it Mr Speaker just so we can get a bit of calm back in the House.It is not the top 1 percent of Aotearoa who utilise public transport—our buses our trains our cycleways—it is largely those who cannot afford private transport who rely on transport infrastructure and who rely on us in Parliament to ensure we can provide for them at least their basic needs. For the community I stand here today and represent I question us all to consider the vision this Government really has for Aotearoa and what this will mean for us beyond a three-year term. They are determined to demonstrate their conceit and arrogance and I could not possibly commend this to the House. Tēnā tātou."
