Today marks the final stage in the progression of Moriori's Treaty settlement bill. One hundred and fifty-nine years ago, Moriori karāpuna—their tūpuna—petitioned Governor George Grey, remembering the trauma of the 1835 settlement of Rēkohu by Ngāti Mutunga and seeking the Crown's protection. This day is the culmination of the struggle for truth and justice that began then. It's testament to the years of hard work by Moriori and dedication towards negotiating a deed of settlement, and a long-awaited day of celebration at the end of this legislative period that has lasted nearly two years because of the delays caused by the COVID outbreak. I well remember being on Rēkohu at Kōpinga Marae towards the end of February 2020, and it was just when the world was waking up to the existence of COVID-19. The passage of this legislation has been affected by that nasty virus, but we are here today with this bill in its third reading, even though COVID is still around.
