As Her Royal Highness Princess Mele Siu'ilikutapu Kalaniuvalu Fotofili said, this is Pacific peoples' home. We are the future of Aotearoa New Zealand, whether others accept it or not. You just need to go around the regions and see the thriving Pacific population from Tai Tokerau to Tai Tonga, from up north to Invercargill, to the east and west of Aotearoa New Zealand. We are a thriving population, but we are being held back when racism and discrimination rears its ugly head, again and again and again, and I'm saying to this House and to all New Zealanders: we have to come together and slam racism on the head. That means that we as leaders of this House also have a duty and responsibility to send strong signals that flow out to all of New Zealand, because, as we say in Samoa, e afua mai mauga fa'amanuiaga o se nu'u. From the mountains flow the blessings that will bless the village, and it is the words that matter, as I said that night, because e i ai la matou fa'aupuga, e pala ma'a ae tumau pea upu. Rocks and boulders all turn to dust, but words matter to us. Words will live for ever through our oratory, through our songs, through our poetry, and we're asking our young people: use the words of that night and display it with pride everywhere they may be.
