Kia ora - Last month I took part in the first debate of the campaign season here in Napier, a 'Meet the Candidates' event hosted by Napier Grey Power. Here's my korero about my background; Labour's solutions to housing issues in Hawke's Bay; the End of Life Choice Bill; and the importance of respecting Supreme Court decisions. If you tautoko this, please like and share. #LetsDoThis #Ikaroarāwhiti17 ... See MoreSee Less

A new era for whanau and hapu in the Heretaunga-Tamatea region commenced today as the Heretaunga Tamatea Claims Settlement Bill passed its first reading.
Ngāti Kahungunu ki Heretaunga-Tamatea suffered substantial and widespread loss of land under the Crown. While these injustices can never truly be compensated, this bill marks further progress in an exciting new era for the iwi and hapu of this region.
I must acknowledge the work of the negotiating team: Peter Paku, Brian Morris and lead negotiator Liz Munroe; Dr. David Tipene-Leach, chair of the negotiating trust He Toa Takitini; Liz Graham, chair of the Heretaunga Tamatea Settlement Trust; and the He Toa Takitini Taumata and kaumatua.
When enacted, the Bill will give effect to the Deed of Settlement and Heretaunga-Tamatea will receive a total financial and commercial settlement package to the value of $105 million. ... See MoreSee Less
