“Aotearoa, Te Whare Paremata, are you ready?” asked Te Pāti Māori’s Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke in a rousing maiden speech in which she promised to hold the Government to account she says is “attacking” her personally as Māori.
She was one of two from Te Pāti Māori’s new MPs to give their maiden speeches today, followed by Tākuta Ferris who deviated from the traditionally personal maiden speech to assert in no unclear terms Māori had never given up sovereignty, and it would be the work of his life in Parliament to make this clear.
It was a speech that more than left its mark after the politics of the past week with the new Government at the other end of the spectrum starting its plans to pull back on the use of te reo Māori and prepare to challenge the place of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in society today.

Dressed in a white suit with a red blouse and her dark hair down, Maipi-Clarke’s outfit for the maiden speech could be interpreted as a tribute to the Tino rangatiratanga flag, further emphasising her words.
