The story of a Porirua Samoan woman named Emily is one I leave the House with today. Emily was the chosen one from her siblings to be educated and to carry the responsibility of providing for her family. She was sent to New Zealand on her auntie's papers and, legally, was a different person. She had the birth date on her papers of 21 January 1935. Emily worked hard to live an honest life. She celebrated her 65th birthday when, in fact, she was only 58. Her children did not know how much the fear of deportation had sat on their mother's shoulders until she was at the end of her life. Before she died, she asked her children to put on her headstone her real date of birth, as the threat of deportation wouldn't happen when she died. So let it be put on this record of this House: Sivailoa Emily Mareko was born on 11 January 1942. Like other trailblazers: Toesulu Brown, Josiah, Benji, Lucia, Jaistone. Thank you, keep up the work.
