Science fiction has always been a medium for futuristic imagination, and, no surprises, I'm a bit of a fan. Possibly this is the reason why I was given the science, research, and innovation portfolio, because they probably figured, "Well, he's good with science fiction; let's see how he deals with science facts." I was reflecting on this as I stepped into the inner core of the Beehive, where the lifts are. And I want all members to listen very carefully, because I want these words to follow you whenever you step in there, and that's this: it looks like the Tardis. It looks and feels dimensionally outside of space and time. But here's the thing: a Tardis is much bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, and that is what this place needs to be. Our ideas need to be bigger than this place—much bigger. We cannot go back to the way that things were. That world is disappearing fast, and it is our role to ensure a future for our tamariki and mokopuna. As Arundhati Roy said, "Another world is not only possible; she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing."
