My life's call to serve people has led me to being a foster parent over the past 20 years. I want to acknowledge some of those tamariki who are here and those who aren't here. Kōwhai, Tainui, Nigel, Dennis, George, Kevin, and Blaide, to you, and to your whānau, I love you. I've committed my life to you, which means that it's a sacred honour for me to be here serving you in this place and for me now, at this beautiful young age of 45, to be koro Glen. But I stand here because of you. Every day that I walk into this House, I think of you and of the chances that you never had, of the trauma that is your unwelcome friend, of a system that wasn't responsive to your needs or your culture.
