I once again acknowledge the perseverance of our Pacific communities and, most of all, their dignity and humility. Despite the enduring scars of that era, they have worked hard to create opportunities, find success, and have added a huge amount of positivity and culture to New Zealand. I sincerely hope that this apology from the Government and the House of Representatives at large helps to heal the wounds of the past and finally closes this chapter of New Zealand's history. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
