In the last Parliament I brought two bills to this House to fight for Māori protection of our rights in Parliament and also for local representation in Ngāi Tahu. It all comes back to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Mr Seymour spoke about what is the underlying philosophy. It's simple, Mr Seymour: Te Tiriti o Waitangi. That is the underlying philosophy which we on this side of the House are giving expression to through the passage of this bill. Māori representation is a must because to give true expression and to uphold the promises of Te Tiriti, Māori need to be represented at all levels of Government in this country, here in Parliament and in local government. So we are, through the passage of this bill, able to give effect to that. It's long been overdue. I'm proud as a Māori electorate member myself to be able to support this bill along with our vast Māori caucus—first XV—and our members and this Government. We're very proud to be able to bring this landmark legislation to the House.
