In his maiden speech, one of my predecessors, and the former Labour MP for Nelson, John Blincoe, noted his desire to see the eight iwi of Te Tau Ihu have their claims settled with the Crown. I am pleased to stand here in the knowledge that the Te Tau Ihu settlements have been completed. We are seeing the benefits, with many of our local iwi embarking on economic development and housing projects that will support economic and social justice for our whole community.
