ANAHILA KANONGATA'A-SUISUIKI (Labour): Kia ora e te Mana Whakawā. It's an honour and a privilege to speak on anything to do with conservation here in Aotearoa. I want to acknowledge the member Maureen Pugh and congratulate her on the amount of work that she's done to get her bill to this stage. But before I talk about the reasons why I join my colleagues and our party in opposing this bill, I want to acknowledge the Minister of Conservation. I want to acknowledge the sister the Hon Kiritapu Allan: kia kaha, wahine toa, and much arohanui from us here—all of us here in the Whare.
