Over the weekend there was the announcement that Sir Tipene O'Regan was to be elevated to the Order of New Zealand. That is a most appropriate honour—one of the more appropriate honours that I've seen in my time in this House. I think—well, he may well support this bill; I don't know what his views are. What he does support is a very independent, a very strong, and a very contributing Ngāi Tahu, focused on the wellbeing of their people. I think this takes a little bit away from that. And I think the question I go back to, the point I go back to is: why don't Ngāi Tahu sign up to a candidacy, or more, for ECan seats? I can't see what the problem is, other than—just like everybody else in the community—Ngāi Tahu have different political views, different political opinions, and different political allegiances to any particular candidates who may or may not stand. And that, I think, further devalues the concept of saying, "Well, just the leadership of Ngāi Tahu can decide who these two new councillors are."
