Hon SHANE JONES: Thank you, David Parker, for correcting the long record of failure by Nick Smith. Thank you, David Parker, for bringing forward a piece of legislation that has been attacked by Nick Smith in infamy as he rests under the shadow of failure for nine to 12 years. Thank you, David Parker, for bringing a set of reforms that were thwarted under the last Government by the Māori Party and the belief of Nick Smith that he could treat Māoris like lackeys and they would vote for his version of a resource management reform process that diminished the role, the status, of his coalition fellow travellers.
