Tena Koutou, Tena Koutou, Tena Tatou katoa.

This is a really exciting day for me.

Firstly, I would like to bring you the greetings of Prime Minister Helen Clark – who is also the Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage.

Maunga Taranaki tena koe
Ki nga iwi katoa i noho mai i raro i tona tihi tapu
Nga mihi nui ki a koutou katoa
Kua riro mai to honore nui ki runga i ahau
He ra whakahirahira
Mo tenei kaupapa rangitira
