It's an honour to speak on a bill which will hold a special place in history—finally putting the many wrongs the Moriori have suffered for many generations to right. I acknowledge that it won't fix everything, but it is a very significant step. It is also special for me personally as the Moriori bill was the very first time I spoke in this House. Due to the unusual circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, I spoke on this before I made my maiden speech. That was a special moment for me, as the story of Moriori is something that has been of special interest to me since I was a child. As a child growing up partially in the Hawke's Bay there was always a close connection between the Hawke's Bay and the Chatham Islands, and it was something I was very aware of. Learning about Tommy Solomon and the history of Moriori and their unique history of peace—Nununku's statement on peace, which Moriori abided by, was something of special significance. So it's very special for me, personally, as well to be able to be here today.
