Engari—but—let me contextualise for you what Budget day means to us. At the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840, my ancestors, and many others from around the motu, consented to kāwanatanga and the establishment of this Parliament. But they also affirmed our existing rangatiratanga. As article 2 explicitly states, the Crown guaranteed to Māori the undisturbed possessions over our land, our rivers, our seas, our forests, our traditions, and practices—our people.
