Te Mana o Ngāti Rangitihi Trust, I apologise for not being able to travel to your only marae, Rangiaohia, in our beautiful coastal township of Matatā, the gateway to the Eastern Bay of Plenty, and I apologise for not being there with you today. Thankfully, we live in the future, enabling me to be able to sit here at home in Ōwhata, and some of you there in Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara, with everybody else sitting back home in Matatā.
