[Matariki connects the earthly realm to the celestial realm. I give thanks for the protections of the heavens today. To my sister Kiritapu, greetings to you for opening the way for us today under the bill that calls us to celebrate the star cluster Matariki. Thank you again for also letting our language rain down, to be heard by the walls of this House, the language of the indigenous people of this land—that is, the Māori people.
