Tirikatene RinoRINO TIRIKATENE (Labour—Te Tai Tonga): Tēnā koe Madam Speaker. Tēnā koutou te whānau o Parihaka. Tēnā koutou ngā uri o ngā tāngata. Nau mai whakatau mai ki roto i Te Whare Paremata. Tēnā koutou tēnā tātou katoa.[Thank you Madam Speaker. Greetings to you the family of Parihaka. Greetings to you all the descendants of the people. Welcome welcome to Parliament. Greetings to you greetings one and all.]I am very proud to stand in support of this bill at its second reading. I want to acknowledge all of the contributions that have been made by all members at this second reading. I want to acknowledge the Parihaka Papakāinga Trust and all the whānau of Parihaka the officials and all those that have been working on this bill.One word we've heard quite a lot through this debate has been special". Indeed this is a real special piece of legislation and I am really proud and very honoured that I was able to play a part along with my fellow parliamentary colleagues in this House just as we're doing now through our membership on the Māori Affairs Committee. I want to acknowledge the Papakāinga Trust who welcomed us so warmly to Parihaka when we conducted our hearings at Parihaka. It was a wonderful day and we heard a lot of heartfelt kōrero just as has been expressed today from all of the community the whānau. We heard from descendants of our wonderful tīpuna of Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi. It was just very moving.We heard from whānau. We heard from descendants of those that were on the Crown side of the invasion that took place all those years ago. But there was a lot of unity and there was as is reflected in the title of this bill reconciliation. There was a lot of reconciliation occurring. I don't have a profound Māori kōrero but I would sum it up that day that there were plenty of melting Māori moments. We had a lot of waiata. We even had one of our tuahine that submitted who shared with everyone that she was pregnant and she was going to give birth. These are the amazing things that happen when you're on the Māori Affairs Committee I can tell you. Along with the wonderful kai that we partake in we do a lot of mahi. We definitely do a lot of mahi.So it was a wonderful day of reflection and of examination of this bill. I want to acknowledge the submitters the Parihaka Papakāinga Trust and all of the leaders that we heard from because I am really pleased that we were able to pick up on some of those submissions that they were presenting. In particular I'm very proud that this bill has extended protection of the name "Parihaka"—a first of its kind. We have had similar protection in Te Awa Tupua Act—in that piece of Treaty settlement legislation—but to actually have the name of Parihaka and the significance of Parihaka given statutory protection which means that the Parihaka Papakāinga Trust must authorise any commercial use of Parihaka—this is a landmark piece of legislation here. So I want to acknowledge the committee; I want to acknowledge the submitters and that we were able to this. In particular I want to acknowledge the officials that have worked tirelessly behind the scenes who have been the go-betweens who have been engaged in the sensitive kōrero with the hau kāinga every step of the way. I know that they've been really committed to this piece of legislation and committed to the whole kaupapa of reconciliation. So I am really proud that we have been able to insert that protection clause within this piece of legislation. Unfortunately we couldn't get the protection over personal names such as Te Whiti and Tohu because we came up against what's called the Bill of Rights and freedom of expression. Likewise the legacy statement which has been so carefully crafted by the whānau of Parihaka—try as we might we couldn't extend that protection to those areas but it's fair to say that we have been consistent with the Bill of Rights with where we've landed on this bill. It's within the justifiable limits that are allowed but we've definitely I think reached a very unique but very safe protection for Parihaka. So I want to especially acknowledge that.As it should be there have been very solemn contributions in the stories that we've heard today. I don't want to prolong this debate but I do want to just acknowledge once again the people of Parihaka. I want to focus on the future because I think that's what is really embodied in the initiatives that will be taking place into the future based on this bill and of course Te Kawenata ō Rongo. I think if anyone wants to really look into the history and to get the true essence of the story of Parihaka I would recommend to have a really good read through Te Kawenata ō Rongo the Crown apology and the legacy statement that's contained within that Te Kawenata ō Rongo—and that's a covenant so these are very special documents. This bill affirms that document and records the Crown's commitment and the connection of this law not only to that document but also the future actions that will be taking place. Again thanks to the work of our committee we were able to make those refinements and that added emphasis in terms of the effect of Te Kawenata ō Rongo to this bill and also to pave the way for those future actions that will be taking place. With that I am very happy to commend this bill to the House at its second reading and once again I thank the hau kāinga for travelling all this way. Nō reira āpiti hono tātai hono rātou te hunga wairua ki a rātou. Āpiti hono tātai hono tātou te hunga ora ki a tātou. Tēnā koutou tēnā koutou ā kia ora tātou katoa.[Therefore the lines are joined; those who have passed on remain with their kind. The lines have been joined we the living remain with the living. Greetings greetings thank you all.]Bill read a second time.Waiata"
