It is with a great deal of optimism and hope that I look towards the future of this great country and the great region that I am so fortunate to represent in this Parliament. I look forward to making my contribution in this House by helping bend the arc of history towards the realisation of the vision and ambition that will ensure our people can make the most of their gifts and their talents and are motivated to give their very best for themselves, their families, their communities, and our country. Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.
