I stand here as the Greens' spokesperson on Te Tiriti o Waitangi. In first readings, we always acknowledge and put on record that the Crown and the representatives have breached Te Tiriti o Waitangi—and continue to—and that, from our perspective, this process is another breach of the sovereignty of hapū. We believe that there must be resolution and restitution that does honour to the harm that was done and that continues to be done, which is why we never believe that these settlements, as hard fought for as they are, should be considered full or final. This is a step in our history of partnership, and we have a vision of a fuller and more honouring partnership in the future where we truly acknowledge the sovereignty of hapū.
