Rurawhe Adrian; Dean JacquiADRIAN RURAWHE (Labour—Te Tai Hauāuru): Tēnā koe e te Māngai o te Whare otirā ka whakapiria āku mihi ki a koutou Ngāti Maru ki ngā mihi kua mihia kē ngā mema o te Whare nei. Nō reira koutou ngā whānau ngā hapū katoa a Ngāti Maruwaranui Ngā Ariki Ngāti Hinemōkai Ngāti Kōpū Ngāti Kui Ngāti Tamatāpui Ngāti Tamakehu Ngāti Te Ika koutou katoa kua tae mai ki te Whare nei tēnā koutou nau mai haramai whakatau mai.[Greetings Madam Speaker and indeed I will append my greetings to you Ngāti Maru to the greetings already delivered to you by the members of this House. Therefore to all the families and the subtribes of Ngāti Maruwaranui Ngā Ariki Ngāti Hinemōkai Ngāti Kōpū Ngāti Kui Ngāti Tamatāpui Ngāti Tamakehu and Ngāti Te Ika all of you who have come here to this House greetings welcome welcome welcome.]We've heard a lot of kōrero in the House today and as the member of Parliament for Te Tai Hauāuru it's my great pleasure to add to everyone else's kōrero and to acknowledge all of the kōrero as well. We've heard from a number of members including the Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations some of the historical aspects of this claim. We heard from Joseph Mooney and from Jan Logie as well who read some extracts from the summary of the historical account and might I add that's a negotiated historical account. Everything in the settlement is negotiated even down to the history. I suspect that every iwi that comes to this House to hear the pānuitanga of their bill knows that there's other history as well that didn't make the cut. I want to say in this House that it would be highly unlikely that that is the full story as bad as it is—and it is bad. I recommend to every member that actually did read the summary of the historical account in the bill that they also go to the deed of settlement and read the full account because there you will get a true understanding of the magnitude of what Ngāti Maru went through. I say that not only as an acknowledgment that there's a lot more to this story but that what makes it to this House is as stark as the difference between redress and compensation because everything in this settlement is redress not compensation. If we were to have compensation as my whanaunga Debbie Ngarewa-Packer stated in this House we would have a different kind of settlement.I want to acknowledge the Hon Willie Jackson as well in his contribution to this debate. He raised some very important issues that need to be acknowledged in this House and I think not only on days that we have settlement bills because they are important and we all support them but here's the thing: you see in these acknowledgments we have the historical account and from that the Government the Crown makes some acknowledgments. In other words they say what they've done wrong and then they say they're not going to do it again and they do that with an apology. That apology means nothing if we as a Parliament—and I'm not just talking about the Government but the Parliament—continue to do the things that the Hon Willie Jackson talked about. OK? So much as that is difficult to hear we're actually passing the first reading of a piece of legislation which actually addresses all of those things but it's stuck in a time. The key to success in the future is that we don't do that anymore that when we pass a piece of legislation in this House it does not impact negatively on Ngāti Maru. When we make statements about what's going on in the world and what policies we're promoting or not promoting if it impacts negatively on Ngāti Maru then why are we passing this? That's the challenge to every party in this House and every member in this House.That's my main message for today except for: I hope the w'ānau have had a lovely trip down to Pōneke today and that this is worthwhile. I want to encourage all members and all whānau to make a submission. We do not get enough submissions and so the voices of many people—I want to acknowledge the rangatahi amongst you there. Rangatahi in particular: we do not hear your voice in this Whare and we need to hear it on this bill. So I encourage you—it's really easy. Go online—you can do it all online and all you have to say is I support this bill." or you can say what's wrong with the bill and that's OK too. So I just want to encourage all of the rangatahi that might be listening as well. Nō reira kāore e roa tēnei tū. [Therefore this speech won't be long.] You've waited long enough; I think I'll finish here. Nō reira ka nui te mihi aroha atu ki a koutou mō ō koutou kaha.[Therefore many loving acknowledgments to you for your strength.]I'll do one more thing because we've heard about generosity: it reminded me because I was a negotiator for Ngāti Apa and it was the Hon Mark Burton and I believe I'm quoting him correctly—he was the Minister for Treaty negotiations and he said—I think he was the first one to say it—that every iwi that settles their historical claims performs an act of generosity to New Zealand.Nō reira tēnā koutou tēnā koutou ngā mihi aroha atu ki a koutou mō ō koutou kaha i roto i tēnei āhuatanga. Kia ora mai tātou.[Therefore greetings greetings loving greetings to you for your strength in this circumstance.
