Madam Speaker, and to members in the gallery, Ngāti Rangitihi, ko au he uri nō Whanganui. [I am a descendant of Whanganui.] It is a privilege to return to this house today and particularly a privilege to be able to speak for the first time on my return to those who have gathered here of Ngāti Rangitihi. May I share the last time that I spoke in this House: in fact 11 months ago today, I stood and spoke in this House and addressed those who had travelled from Ngāi Tūhourangi and Te Arawa for the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute Vesting Bill third reading. So, Madam Speaker and those of us here today, it's by sheer good providence, serendipity, that I happen to be back in the House and I happen to be speaking to the uri of Ngāti Rangitihi, to the waka of Te Arawa. Tēnā koutou.
