[Oh, my call has come early. Greetings, everyone. Greetings, everyone, on this day. Greetings, everyone, as we gather together this afternoon. We mourn the many deaths, the innumerable deaths of the Te Arawa peoples, of Mātaatua as well, of the wider Te Waiariki, to the female elder of Ruatāhuna, Hokimoana. May they rest in peace. Turning to us, to those left behind, to those remaining, greetings to you all. To the elders, to the tribe, to the grandchildren who have come to Parliament, I acknowledge you. My apologies for being in isolation at home due to my children being affected by this stealthy beast, COVID-19. So my apologies for not being able to be by your side for the pōwhiri and the feast but none the less, this is my acknowledgment to you.
