Ngāti Maru, my kōrero to you today is to whakanui, to whakamana, to celebrate the passage, the first reading of your bill, through to its final journey, the third reading and Royal assent into law. I am not standing here to politicise other kaupapa; I am here to celebrate what we are gathered here for today. For today—Tuesday, 6 July 2021—emerges the gifts of a new day where upon Ngāti Maru draws to, and now strides, new pathways, reaches for new horizons, and seizes new opportunities. Tihei mauri ora.
