RINO TIRIKATENE (Labour—Te Tai Tonga): Tēnā koe e te Māngai o te Whare. I'm delighted to speak on this landmark bill. This is a landmark piece of legislation that we are putting through its first reading. I want to acknowledge the Hon Nanaia Mahuta, a great leader, a great Minister who will go down in history as one of the greats—one of the greats—for doing things that are advancing the causes of Māori. So I want to acknowledge her, her fight in bringing this bill to the House, and all the support that she has from around the motu, up and down the whole country, from councils and communities who yearn for their own Māori representation. That's what this bill does. It allows Māori representation to now be able to give expression to that in councils up and down the country. So I'm absolutely delighted in this bill.
