It is with sadness that I rise on behalf of Te Paati Māori to mark the one-year anniversary of the W'akaari / White Island tragedy and to send our condolences to the w'ānau. My co-leader and MP for Waiariki is today in Tauranga Moana to represent us at the official commemorations. E mihi ana i a Te Waiariki i tēnei wā.
