I opened by reflecting on this Chamber as one of commemoration. It is a place where there is a melting pot of diversity in our representation, but also in the feelings, the emotions, that go with that. I finish off by acknowledging that on Armistice Day, which didn't come to be celebrated with the contribution that was made by New Zealanders in the First World War—and Māori made a significant contribution. By the end of that war, 2,227 Māori had served in what was known as the Māori (Pioneer) Battalion. Of these, 336 died in active service and 734 were wounded. In the scale of our population today that may not sound much, but for the size of our population at that time it was significant, as was the epidemic of influenza.
