BROOKE VAN VELDEN (Deputy Leader—ACT): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise on behalf of the ACT Party today in support of the first reading of the Māori Purposes Bill. As other speakers have made clear, this is a bill that is an omnibus bill. It amends many different Acts that have relation to Māori affairs or Māori development, and those are the Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993, the Maori Purposes Act 1959, the Maori Trust Boards Act 1955, and the Maori Community Development Act 1962. In changing these Acts, the bill only does so in minor and technical aspects, which means that it's very hard to find a lot to talk on for a long time, so I will make my speech quite short.
