It is an honour to be invited to open the fourth Early Intervention in Psychosis National Wananga this weekend.

Two weeks ago we paid tribute to and farewelled Sir Peter Blake, a great New Zealander. Today I learnt of the passing of two more great New Zealanders, Dame Miraka Szazsy and Bishop Manuhuia Bennett.

Tena tatou, e tau nei i tenei ra. Tena tatou, tena hoki koutou e pikau nei i te kaupapa i tenei ra. Nga mihi ki a tatou katoa.

Greetings to Trevor Mallard, Winnie Laban, Tina Olsen-Ratana, from Kokiri Marae, Suafole Gush, the Manager of Hutt Union Health, Peter Glensor, the National Co-ordinator of Healthcare Aotearoa and other dignitaries.

We are all aware that members of whanau, hapu and iwi are substantially over-represented in institutions where psychologists work yet are under-represented among psychologists.

Mihi

Thank you for the invitation to launch your conference.

What I noticed about your invitation for me to speak was that you did not give me a topic.

Kia a koutou te mana whenua, tënä koutou. Tënä koutou e awhi nei i tenei hui.

Kia a koutou nga kai para i te ara, mo nga ra e heke iho nei. Tënä koutou, nga tai tama wahine me nga tai tama tane.

Tena koutou katoa,

It is appropriate that my friend and colleague the bro’ Parekura the Minister of Maori Affairs the Hon Parekura Horomia pave the way for us today.

E ngä mana, e ngä reo, e nga rau rangatira mä, tënä koutou katoa. Kia koutou ngä rangatahi, tënä hoki koutou katoa.

I am honoured to host this function, which has brought the entire board of Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu back to Parliament for the first time since the settlement of the Ngai Tahu Claim.

Traditionally Maori are a maritime people. Our tupuna knew where all the best kaimoana spots were, when and how to harvest it. Our tupuna knew how to read the water, which was essential not only for kai but also for sailing.

I want to congratulate for the work that you do with Rangatahi. We all know that people are our greatest resource, but that our rangatahi are the leaders of the future.
