His descendants, who could have had lives of prosperity if Te Tiriti o Waitangi had been honoured, now number in the tens of thousands, and I would estimate that 80 percent of them live on the breadline. The Opposition fail to acknowledge that their prosperity was made off the back of my whānau's misery. My hapū in the day were left with nothing. They could have done with a Ministry of Māori Development to help them get back on their feet. They could have done with Te Arawhiti, the Office for Māori Crown Relations, because I can tell you at that point the relationship between the Māori and the Crown was pretty sour. They could have done with the winter energy payment, because they were made homeless when their pā was razed to the ground, because they were made homeless at the start of winter. They could have done with the Human Rights Commission because their human rights were horribly violated and, as most of us are a product of our upbringing, the lack of equality through the generations has led to gross inequity.
