Jones Shane; O'Connor GregHon SHANE JONES (NZ First): Tēnā nō tātou katoa. Mō tētahi wā poto reo Māori. Ahau e tū ana ki te tautoko i tēnei ture tā te mea ko Ngāti Hei tētahi iwi i tata te ngaro i roto i te huringa o te wā te whakaekenga mai o Ngāi Pākehā ki Aotearoa. Otirā me mōhio tatou he nui noa atu ngā pakiaka o te ao Māori e ngoto ana ki roto i te whenua ki tērā pito i Aotearoa. Arā noa atu te takotoranga kei tēnā rohe o te waka o Te Arawa. Arā noa atu te maunga—tōna ingoa ko Moehau—nui noa atu ngā kōrero kei roto i te ao Māori mō tērā tihi he īngoa i kawea mai i Hawaiki noa atu. Ahakoa te tokoiti o ēnei tāngata i maemae roa i waenga tonu i ō rātou mātua ā heke iho ki tēnei rangi i te korenga o rātou e tino puta i te kapa whakamua i roto te tatau o ngā iwi kei roto i a Hauraki. Nā reira e tika ana kia tautokotia tēnei pire.[Greetings to us all. For a short time I speak in reo Māori. I stand to support this bill because Ngāti Hei was a nation that almost perished at the turn of the century and the arrival of Pākehā to Aotearoa. Also we must understand that there are many roots of the Māori people that stretch to that part of Aotearoa. There are the origins of the Arawa nation that lie within that area. There yonder is the mountain summit—its name is Moehau—which holds rich history within the Māori people. A name that was brought here from Hawaiki afar. Despite the small numbers of these people there was a lot of unjust done to their ancestors. Now fast forward to this day they don't get out much and aren't too recognised within the statistics in Hauraki. And so it is my honour to support this bill.]I stand to make a brief speech and as I said in our language there is a proud—and sadly overlooked—history associated with this small group called Ngāti Hei. But within their rohe as my Māori colleagues on the other side of the House know small may their number be but rich is the history in their rohe not the least of which is the ancestor Tamatekapua the history of the Arawa waka and indeed one of the maunga in that area called Moehau that in their background they regard as a guardian spirit—things that aren't captured in the full ebb and flow of today's commercial life but it should go on the record that these are some of the elements that define who these people are.We hope to see all of the other elements that comprise Hauraki join this group and bring to closure—at another time I'll talk about the outstanding issues between Ngāi Te Rangi in the Tauranga area and part of the Hauraki Collective; there are some outstanding issues.Repanga is a well-known fishing ground. In fact I've been there myself to help myself of the customary entitlement of the Tainui people although my roots are further north. Not only is that area well-known in terms of Māori history and recreational fisheries this is an opportunity for us the Crown on our side of the House and indeed Parliament to connect the descendants of the original tangata whenua with those historic landmarks.The relationship agreements with the Department of Conversation need careful stewardship to ensure that they don't grow into something that actually has the perverse effect of hobbling the ability of Ngāti Hei to expand their interests beyond conservation.The pūtea whilst it may not be large in size I'm sure that it will be dedicated to a very important purpose. For those reasons I stand with the other speakers this evening—that this bill reflects a desire to fulfil the Crown's obligations to reach a durable settlement. The people who have worked on—obviously we should acknowledge them. We in New Zealand First despite a lot of white water and falsehoods that flow in the media from time to time are conscious that the honour of the Crown and the respect for property rights should be something that's uppermost in our mind. For those reasons and the obvious ones we support this bill.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Greg O'Connor): This is a split call—five minutes. Hannah-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke.
