It is an honour to be here today to commemorate the 109th anniversary of the tragic sinking of the SS Otaki. Today, we pay tribute to all who have bravely served our country and remember those who never came home.

We join together on this Commonwealth Day at a time of great challenge and great possibility. Across our world, communities and nations face the increasing pressures of conflict, climate change and rapid transformation.

Whakarongo! Whakarongo!

Whakarongo ki te reo o Te Ao Tūroa

E rarau nei me tōna Kotahi

Kuri mai, kuri atu.

Rau Rangatira mā, koutou e pīkau i nga moemoeā ō ā tātou iwi, a tātou hapu, a tātou whanau.

Nau mai, rarau mai i runga i te reo karanga o te pō.

Ruia, ruia, tahia, tahia,
Kia hemo te kākoakoa,
Kia herea mai i te kawau korokī.
Kia tātaki mai i roto i te pūkorokoro, whaikoro,
Te kūaka, he kūaka mārangaranga,
Tahi manu i tau ki te tāhuna, tau atu, tau atu, tau atu!

Kia ora koutou

Shalom
