Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): It's always a pleasure to follow on from my Ngāti Porou whanaunga "Pāora" Goldsmith! There's nothing like a sign of how supportive you are: you don't make it halfway through your speech, you've got your hands in your pockets all the way through your speech, and you keep shrugging your shoulders. Mr Goldsmith might do very well to reflect a little on the importance of what we are discussing today, because, when he spoke, he made it sound like it was some kind of lottery, what day we might choose for there to be a celebration of Matariki and for there to be a public holiday—as if we could have picked any day! We could have picked today—could have picked December, could have picked any day of the year! In actual fact, this is not that at all; it is not just another holiday. This is a celebration of Aotearoa New Zealand. This is a recognition of tikanga Māori, of Te Ao Māori view of the world, and a celebration of who we can be as a nation. It's not just about picking a day, Mr Goldsmith. It's not just about making sure that New Zealanders can have another day off. It's about building a culture in New Zealand where we understand and appreciate one another and where we understand the history and the heritage of how we have got to this point.
