Mr Speaker, the National Party sends their thoughts and aroha to the family of Tā Toby Curtis, who have lost a father, a husband, and a mentor, from we who remain, who have lost a guide, a leader, and a friend. We acknowledge and thank him for his contribution to education, being highly educated himself, with a doctorate, and the fervent belief he had in the importance of education and being educated. The National Party recognises and thanks him for his contributions to the party's function in times that have passed. Toby's leadership to Māori media was pervasive and, for Te Māngai Pāho, his chairmanship and leadership was critical in the early days of its inception, and that leadership endures today. He shared a love for the Māori language and simply had a love for people. He will be missed.
