As a member of the Māori Affairs Committee sitting alongside members of all political parties in this House, we prefer to put politics aside and to make right and to address, to redress, the grievances of the past, to make things right and just. As members of the Māori Affairs Committee, we hear and we feel the mamae of those who represent their people—your people, Ngāti Maru—who have gone before in speaking to this bill and making submissions to the Māori Affairs Committee for us to turn our minds and for us to turn also our hearts and our heads and our hands to making sure that the shaping of this legislation is correct and is just.
