I speak as a member of Parliament for the National Party, returned with a list of much to do and much to give and serve. Today, I stand and I speak, privileged, to account for this moment in time, historic; to reflect and to account for past accounts; to acknowledge and to apologise. Ngāti Maru has endured and continues to endure the journey across generations, and, across the generations, has generated much in the way of grievance, injustice, mamae, long overdue, now due the time to put right the wrong, the wronged, and the wrongdoing, reconciling the past into the present and forward into the future with hope, aspiration, and potential to be realised, those new horizons.
