I took the time this afternoon to head out and welcome our whānau to this Whare, to welcome this kaupapa, and, most of all, to hear their story, and their first speaker, Maui Solomon—mihi atu ki a koe, te pāpā—shared the story of the whānau and what today means to them. To the whānau that have come here today and share the next part of their journey, a journey that started long, long ago, I say that one of my responsibilities in this place is as the deputy chair of the Petitions Committee, and my colleague Meka Whaitiri talked about a petition that was sent through to Governor Grey 159 years ago. Maui spoke today of the 1,663 names that were signed on that petition.
