It's with great pleasure that I rise on behalf of Te Paati Māori for the second time in support of Ngāti Maru (Taranaki) Claims Settlement Bill. First and foremost, I want to mihi to my whanaunga who are watching this today, who cannot be here in person during these trying times, and those of you who are out there on the ground testing, vaccinating, and keeping our whānau safe, just as your tūpuna would have. No settlement can compensate for the pain, the suffering, and the trauma that you—our people—endured and still do endure that saw your natural development interrupted in the most horrible way possible.
