I rise to speak on the Ngāti Maru (Taranaki) Claims Settlement Bill this afternoon, and I feel uncomfortable. I feel the weight of responsibility and I actually asked myself the question: why am I standing here, speaking on this? Maybe I should be up there, and maybe you should be down here, speaking to us. How do I, as Pākehā, how do I as someone who carries my ancestors on my shoulders, the failings, what we've done, speak to you this afternoon on this piece of legislation? So I hope I do it justice, in some small way.
