Dr DUNCAN WEBB (Labour—Christchurch Central): Tēnā koe, Madam Speaker. A pleasure to rise and stand here and take the call that the Māori Party would take, should they choose to, but once again they choose not to. I do find it extraordinary that a party that claimed, or the leader that claimed in his maiden speech, to be speaking on every piece of legislation in this House, to scrutinise it from a Māori perspective, has once again chosen not do so.
