Good evening ladies and gentlemen,

It’s my pleasure to address this year’s New Zealand Law Foundation awards dinner.

At the risk of offending those I don’t name, I would like to acknowledge some of the dignitaries here this evening:

Tena koutou nga Iwi o Tauranga moana nei (Greetings/salutations to you all the tribes of this area - Tauranga )

Ngai te Rangi     Ngai te Rangi (one of the Iwi)

Ngati Ranginui   Ngati Ranginui (one of the Iwi)

Ngati Pukenga   Ngati Pukenga (one of the Iwi).

Taku mihi tenei   ki a koutou katoa          (This is my acknowledgment to you all.)
