KIRITAPU ALLAN (Labour): I want to acknowledge the remarks that have just been shared in this House by my colleague across the aisle, the Hon Alfred Ngaro, and in particular the significance of that sacred covenant which is the Treaty partnership, and I want to acknowledge those in particular, a number of incidents which give rise to some very poignant considerations for this House this afternoon. My colleague raised the 1881 invasion of Parihaka. We've heard today and we've not long ago had those descendants of Rua Kēnana, who endured the invasion in 1916 up in Maungapōhatu, and more recently in our modern history, in 2008, with Rūātoki. There are significant and real concerns that have been expressed about the use of coercive force by the State against our people, and I want to thank the honourable member for raising those considerations in this House.
