Therefore, as I look at the functions on that marae, the first woman to speak on the marae was the Minister who is currently shepherding this bill, therefore I acknowledge the Hon Kiritapu Allen, who has progressed this bill through the parliamentary processes and who had the honour to stand and deliver a formal speech on the marae at Matahiwi, also acknowledgments should go the Hon Marama Davidson, our female co-leader who also took the opportunity to speak on that marae. My desire is that that practice should not go back to sleep. That practice should be kept alive because as we return to the learning passed down from our ancestors we already know that that woman possessed authority, so Moana Jackson continued to teach us in death as he had in life.
