I rise to make a contribution in the second reading of the Moriori Claims Settlement Bill, and I do so with the understanding that, historically, to delve into the history of the people of Rēkohu and the history would be to gain a bit of an insight into much of the misinformation that has been portrayed in relation to the Moriori people. But I want to take this time to focus on the historical Moriori Treaty claims with the Crown. I should acknowledge those who are on the Māori Affairs Committee—Tāmati Coffey, the chairperson; Arena Williams; Paul Eagle; Shanan Halbert; Joseph Mooney; Todd Muller; Teanau Tuiono; and Rawiri Waititi—because you had the opportunity to visit the people, listen to the stories, and listen to the many challenges of working through a Treaty settlement process.
