Tirikatene RinoRINO TIRIKATENE (Labour—Te Tai Tonga): Tēnā koe Mr Speaker. A tēnā koutou ōku rangatira a Ngāti Porou me ō hapū maha Te Tai Rāwhiti nau mai nau mai whakatau mai nau mai piki mai ki Te Whare Pāremata ki te ana o te raiona. I tū ai nuinui mā teitei mā nau mai whakatau mai ki te whakatutuki i ngā wawata o rātou mā. Tēnā koutou tēnā koutou. E tū ana ahau ki te tautoko i tēnei pire i tana pānuitanga tuatoru. [So greetings my esteemed people Ngāti Porou and your many subtribes The East Coast welcome welcome and ascend to Parliament to the lion's den. Stood up large and tall welcome here to execute of the dreams of those who have passed. Greetings greetings. I stand to support this bill in its third reading.]I'm delighted to be able to speak at the third reading of this bill the Ngā Rohe Moana o Ngā Hapū o Ngāti Porou Bill (No 2). This is such a joyous day and to be in the presence of Ngāti Porou who have graced our gallery today and the wonderful pōwhiri and the signing of the relationship agreements and the accords that took place prior to the House sitting today—it certainly is a wonderful occasion. I'm just very proud to be able to have played a little part in what is a significant piece of legislation for Ngāti Porou. Can I acknowledge as we do on these occasions those that have passed on. I'd like to tautoko the sentiments that have been made when we think of all of our illustrious kaumātua Apirana Mahuika and all those that have been involved in this journey. It has been a very long—not just the 15-odd years in terms of the culmination of this bill but this bill obviously is about recognising the rights that go right back to 1840 stemming from Treaty rights. We're giving legal expression—we're giving greater expression—to those rights for the hapū of Ngāti Porou. So I'm delighted to tautoko this bill and I want to acknowledge the contributions made thus far by the Hon Anne Tolley and my colleague and whanaunga the Hon Peeni Henare. This bill is about giving recognition to those customary rights. These rights have always existed—always existed—for these hapū. The connection that they have to their coastal takutai moana environment—they have always existed but it has never been recognised through the laws of the land. What we are doing today is passing this legislation which affirms the deeds that were signed between the Crown and our hapū of Ngāti Porou to give effect and to give greater expression of those rights. So this is a significant piece of legislation. This is historic. It is one of a kind. Ngāti Porou were leaders in terms of the original deed that was established. There were two sets of legislation that have led to the enactment of this bill. So we know there has been a long history and it is all about recognising those rights providing those mechanisms but it also balances the rights of the public and of other rights holders be that in the fishing industry or through navigation of our waterways.So it has been well thought through. I want to acknowledge Matanuku Mahuika Herewini the heamana of Te Rūnanganui o Ngati Porou for all their leadership and their work—a lot of work has gone into this a lot of kōrero with officials—and all those that have been involved over many many years. I want to acknowledge them for their forbearance in being able to get to this point.Just conscious of the time—it is always an honour for me and I want to take this opportunity while I have the time at hand and I'm on my feet. I want to acknowledge the hapū of Ngāti Porou. There are 57 all up—there are many hapū; 47 are directly part of this deed but for completeness I do include all of the hapū who are here and represented for Ngāti Porou. So I want to race through them—there are quite a few and I want to make sure that I set this down in the record of the Hansard. So we'll start from the North and we'll work down: for Pōtikirua kī Whangaokena Takutai Kaitiaki Trust Te Whānau a Tapaeururangi Ngāi Tuere Te Whānau a Tuwhakairiora Te Whānau a Te Aotaki Te Whānau a Kāhu Ngāi Tamakoro Te Aopare  Te Whānau a Tarahauiti Te Whānau a Hunaara Te Whānau a Hinerupe Te Whānau a Te Aotaihi. For Whangaokeno kī Ōnepoto Te Whānau a Takimoana Te Whānau a Tāpuhi Te Whānau a Te Uruahi Te Whānau a Tinatoka Te Whānau a Rerewa Ngāti Nua Ngāti Hokopu Te Whānau a Rakaimataura Ngāti Putaanga Te Whānau a Ngāi Tāne Te Whānau a Hinepare Te Whānau a Karuai Te Whānau a Hinerupe ki Waiapu Te Whānau a Rakaihoea Te Whānau a Pōkai Ngāti Horowai Te Whānau a Māhaki Te Whānau a Uruhonea Te Whānau a Hineauta.For Te Papatipu o Uepohatu me te Papatipu o te Ngaere Ngāi Tangihaere Ngāti Rangi Ngāti Uepohatu Te Whānau a Umuariki Te Whānau a Ruataupare ki Tuparoa Te Whānau a Hinetapora Te Whānau a Hinekehu at Rauru Marae. For Te Aitanga a Mate Te Aowera and Te Whanau a Hinekehu we have Te Whānau a Hinekehu Te Aitanga a Mate and Te Aowera. For Mataahu ki Kokoronui I want to acknowledge Ngāi Taharora Te Whānau a Iritekura Te Whānau a Rakairoa Te Whānau a Te Haemata. For Kokoronui kī Te Toka ā Taiau Ngāti Wakarara and Ngāti Hau. There's also Ngāti Oneone as well further south.I also want to acknowledge for completeness these hapū as well: Ngāti Konohi Ngāti Kuranui Ngāti Patuwhare Te Whānau a Te Rangipureora Te Aitanga a Hauiti Ngāti Kahukuranui Ngāi Tutekohi Ngāti Ira Te Whānau o Te Aotawarirangi Te Whānau a Ruataupare ki Tokomaru. Those are ngā hapū o Ngāti Porou and this is a very significant day for these hapū. Through this bill we are affirming and providing mechanisms whereby the hapū will be able to continue the exercise of their mana and of their customary rights the continuation of that.Also I want to acknowledge my colleague the Hon Kelvin Davis who's the Minister for Te Arawhiti and will be responsible for the processes that will continue in terms of recognition of customary marine title. This is only putting in place the mechanisms in some places. Sure there'll be general mechanisms but for those specific applications that will be made I'm looking forward and I encourage Mr Davis to ensure that we can get as many of these applications through so those mechanisms can be given the absolute full expression under the law and in accordance with the deeds that have been signed.So with that I just once again want to mihi to ngā hapū katoa of Ngāti Porou who are here today. This is your day and we certainly do celebrate with you the passage of this bill. Kia ora tātou.
