My first message is to everyone who has campaigned, advocated, passionately lobbied, submitted, and posted to try and stop what we are seeing happening before us this evening. Tēnā rawa atu koutou: thank you all. The Government may not have listened to you, but there are MPs in this House who have heard you, there are parties in this House that have heard you. Te Paati Māori has heard you and we will continue to work together to fight with you to protect the w'akapapa of our mokopuna.
