[Greetings, Mr Speaker. I have some questions. However, I would like to begin by acknowledging today's events. This morning some of us made it to a hīkoi in the Manawatū valley. It was organised by 12 marae of Manawatū and was about Māori wards. This took place because the mayor and councillors of that council would not support the establishment of Māori wards.
