I'd like to acknowledge the fantastic support I've received in this journey. My incredibly patient and supportive partner, Tanya, who's been with me through all this and some pretty tough times over the last few years—thank you so much. My beautiful girls, who now think they might give politics a go because they reckon if Dad can do it, anyone can. My extended family, who understand how important this is to me. My dear auntie rang me on election day and said, "Well done, Chris. I'm so proud of you, and your mum would've been proud, too—but you know I'll never vote for you, don't you?" Teaching runs in the family. To my mates, who have supported me from the start and now can't believe it, I know they'll keep me well informed of the important issues of the day, and to those friends and colleagues whose life experiences have been different from mine but value friendship over political ideologies. Thank you to my Nelson electorate committee, who are the most enthusiastic and dedicated group of New Zealanders I know, and to our supporters everywhere who voted for ACT because they're concerned at the current direction this country's heading. And, lastly, to the ACT Party and the team with me in Parliament today, the values and principles we all believe in—freedom, equality, and personal responsibility—are more important now than ever before, and I'm proud to be part of this extraordinary whānau to represent those New Zealanders who put their trust in us. Thank you.
