This is the first time that I've spoken to a redress bill, and it is a great privilege to be able to speak to it today. For the first time, listening to the Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations, the Hon Andrew Little, acknowledging those that took part in the negotiations, I was able to sit back and say, "I know those people." That meant a lot to me, because I know that this means a lot not only to Ngāti Kahungunu and Rangitāne but also to our region. This shouldn't just be seen as something that's important to local iwi. This should be seen as something that's important to all of us.
