SIMON WATTS (National—North Shore): On behalf of National and as a member of Parliament for North Shore, it is my pleasure to take a short call on the Matariki public holiday bill today. I want to say, just first up, that National very much support, in concept, having a Matariki public holiday. The Māori New Year and a celebration of that special day for all New Zealanders is an important opportunity for us as a country to come together and honour some of our important history for all New Zealanders. This holiday, obviously, honours how Māori navigated using the stars back in the past in order to come to this great country, and we acknowledge the importance of this public holiday.
