Mr Speaker, congratulations on your re-election. It's an honour to be in the House today, making my maiden statement. I was born in Whanganui, the eldest of Bob and Kim Lewis' five children. Dad was a prison officer at Kaitoke, and we lived in the village next door. My earliest memory is of prisoners escaping. Dad woke me in the middle of the night and took me into our lounge, where our neighbours were huddled together. I can recall the sound of the prisoners jumping the fence into our backyard and the thud of their footsteps as they ran. They didn't get far, though, because they tried to swim a lake and needed to get fished out.
