I would like to mihi to the many tangata w'enua marae and Māori organisations who made their voices heard at select committee: to Te Hiiri marae and Ngā Pae o Rangitīkei, Rānana Māori Committee and Rānana Marae Trust, Pariroa Pā, Kokiri Marae, the National Urban Māori Authority, the Māori Climate Commission, Te Kotahitanga o Te Atiawa, Te Korowai o Ngāruahine Trust, Te Hunga Rōia Māori o Aotearoa, and to the young wahine Maringi James and everyone else for their leadership on this kaupapa. We also acknowledge the significant concerns of local government and rural sectors and the large degree of uncertainty that they also face with this legislation, and, finally, the Health Committee for listening to our concerns by removing the provision that would have allowed warrantless entry into our marae.
