I also wanted to take a moment to remember and commemorate all of those who have served on the Māori Affairs Committee over time, both past and present, and for all of the hard work that has gone into bringing us to where we are today. I note that it also has maybe a somewhat unique record in that 16 former members of the Māori Affairs Committee served as Premier or Prime Minister of New Zealand. In the brief time available to me I'll quickly list them: William Fox, Frederick Whitaker, Harry Atkinson, George Grey, Robert Stout, John Balance, Richard Seddon, Joseph Ward, Joseph Coates, George Forbes, Michael Joseph Savage, Peter Fraser, Keith Holyoake, Norman Kirk, David Lange, and Jim Bolger. Quite a list of people who have led New Zealand and also played their role among others in the Māori Affairs Committee.
