I need to acknowledge what might well be the smallest and mightiest campaign team in New Zealand history. My first question to Mel Dorian, our Labour Electorate Committee chair, when I called her a few short months ago, was "How can I help? Can I deliver some pamphlets or something?" Well, I hope you're OK with what that something turned out to be, Mel! It's amazing what can be achieved when you bring together a farmer, a student, and a unionist. Paul, Ben, and Mel organised and grew a movement across Taranaki-King Country, a place where it was always assumed that there wasn't one to be built. It was so exciting to be talking to people inspired, like I was, by our Prime Minister's leadership, who felt safe and hopeful. I am humbled and grateful that New Zealand voted for a Labour Government with such confidence—so much confidence that a teacher, a unionist from rural Taranaki can be the first-ever 65th member of a Labour caucus, in this 53rd Parliament. It is my party and my community—those who are so ambitious for our future—who give me courage.
