[Mr Speaker, I now take my stand. Greetings Te Āti Awa, the authority of this land of Te Ūpoko o te Ika [Wellington]. Greetings also to the subtribes and families of the Whangārei district, that is to the caretakers and carers of the land. I greet all the subtribes and all your ancient landmarks; the ancestral mountains, the rivers and the oceans. This tribute is from the authority of Parliament to the leaders and fulfillers of the aspirations of the people. I am but a messenger for the people of Whangārei. Greetings to you all.]
