JOSEPH MOONEY (National—Southland): I rise on behalf of the National Party to speak in the second reading of the Ahuriri Hapū Claims Settlement Bill. Every Treaty settlement reminds us that the path to reconciliation is never smooth or easy, and it is the case with the Ahuriri claims settlement legislation. It's much needed and a welcome development that the Crown-iwi relationship is moving along. There are some challenges, which the Minister Little just spoke to. I know that we have an empty gallery here today, so I'll just say to all those watching: kia ora e koro mā, e kui mā, e rau rangatira mā. E ngā hapū o Ahuriri tēnā koutou. Nau mai haere mai ki te rā whakahirahira.
