Dr ELIZABETH KEREKERE (Green): Kia ora. I'm happy to stand on behalf of the Green Party, who, when we do work and speak in this House, we do it based on our policies and what we want to create in this world, not on the motivations of any other party in this House. I also stand as chair of Te Mātāwaka, our Māori and Pasifika caucus in the Greens, to say how much we support this, because we believe it is essential that there is a party such as the Māori Party in our Parliament and the voice of the people who put them there.
