Our party does acknowledge the efforts of Mr Finlayson in settling the various claims of the broader Ngāti Kahungunu community—some are still outstanding. We also acknowledge the work of the Māori Affairs Committee, which is a great training ground for MPs to understand the meaning of the term "the patience of Job", because the hapūs of Aotearoa have definitely had to have the patience of Job to arrive at a day such as today. It's also where a number of us, as MPs, have learnt the importance of being patient. It may have occurred to you that I never actually ever sat on that committee—well, that's another matter.
