Andersen GinnyGINNY ANDERSEN (Labour—Hutt South): Tēnā koe e te Mana Whakawā. E koa ana te ngākau e tū i konei kōrero ai ki te Pire Whakataunga Kēreme a Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki nui-a-rua. Tuatahi iho me mihi ki ngā uri o Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki nui-a-rua he mihi aroha ki a koutou i tēnei rā. [I am pleased to stand here to talk to the Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki nui-a-rua Claims Settlement Bill. Firstly I must acknowledge the descendants of Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki nui-a-rua. This is my compassionate greeting to you today.] And I'm real pleased that your train made it here on time today.As I've learnt about your history—as I've learnt about your claim—through the process of this bill proceeding through the House through being on the select committee and hearing submissions it has brought home sharply to me that the actions and the wrongdoings of the Crown not only harm and damage relationships with Māori and the Crown but also harm and damage relationships between Māori and Māori and that is sad for us and our country.I would like to acknowledge the fact that we have reached this far in the House today and I would like to acknowledge the fact that all parties in this House are voting for this bill. It's an important tradition that we have had in Treaty settlement bills that we all support and it's really good to see that continuing today.The Treaty settlement process is imperfect. But sometimes on afternoons like this when the House sits and has a Treaty bill where we have te reo Māori where we have waiata where we have karanga coming out and where we speak to the gallery and not to the Speaker it feels just a little bit more like a marae and not so much like a Pākehā institution that it is. I wish that change to keep evolving and keep changing as we continue to adapt and change as a country and we continue to reaffirm our Treaty partnership.The Ngāti Kahungunu settlement package will finally and comprehensively settle all remaining Ngāti Kahungunu historical Treaty of Waitangi claims. The settlement package includes a Crown apology the redress and cultural redress and financial and commercial redress of $115 million plus interest.The Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki nui-a-Rua legislation will settle all historical claims. The Te Rohe o Rongokako Joint Redress Act will give effect to the specific cultural redress shared between Ngāti Kahungunu and Rangitāne o Wairarapa and Rangitāne o Tamaki nui-ā-rua and provide for their respective deeds of settlement.Ka hoki au ki aku kōrero i te pānuitanga tuatahi mō tēnei pire. He roa he kōpikopiko te huarahi ki te whakataunga ā he huhua hoki ngā tukituki i runga i tēnei huarahi. E rongona tahi ana tātou i ngā nawe e whakapā tonu ana i te mamae i te kinikini i te rangi nei. Koia tēnei ko te hiahia o te Karauna kia tohua ki te whakataunga kei te aonga o tētahi rangi hou mō te whakahoanga o Ngāti Kahungunu me te Karauna. Ko te kaupapa o tēnei rā ko te mihi i te onamata me te tahuri ki te anamata. He roa te haerenga āe tae noa ki tēnei rā. E kore e ea i tēnei mea te whakataunga ko ngā mahi hē a te Karauna ko te mamae rānei e pā ki a Ngāti Kahungunu. Engari e tūmanako ana taku ngākau ka noho te whakataunga nei hei tīmatanga mō te whakahoanga pakari kē i waenga i a Ngāti Kahungunu me te Karauna he whakahoanga e takea ana i te whakapono o tētahi ki tētahi te mahi tahi me te whakaute i te Tiriti me ōna mātāpono. Ka tautoko au i tēnei pire ki te Whare.Nō reira e te iwi tēnā koutou tēnā koutou tēnā tātou katoa.[I return to what I said during the first reading of this bill. It has been a long and winding road to reach this settlement and there have been many stumbling blocks along the way. Together we have heard about the grievances that still cause pain and gnaw away to this very day.The desire of the Crown is this—to indicate by way of this settlement that a new day dawns with this partnership between Ngāti Kahungunu and the Crown. Today's purpose is to acknowledge the past but turn towards the future. Yes it has been a long road to arrive at this day. This settlement will never take away the deceitful actions of the Crown or the pain felt by Ngāti Kahungunu. But it is my heartfelt hope that the settlement will stand as a beginning to this strong relationship between Ngāti Kahungunu and the Crown a relationship stemming from trust of each other one of collaboration and one focused on upholding the Treaty and its principles. I commend this bill to the House. Therefore to the tribe greetings to you. Greetings greetings one and all.]
