JOSEPH MOONEY (National—Southland): Mr Speaker, thank you for the opportunity to rise on behalf of the National Party to speak on the Ngāti Maru (Taranaki) Claims Settlement Bill. I want to thank Minister Little for the work that he's done in guiding this process through to date, and I also acknowledge Ngāti Maru themselves, who cannot be here today for what is an historic occasion as we guide this bill through the second reading, and heading towards the third reading, which, hopefully, will happen in the near future.
