For my part—and this is a very brief part of what I want to say—I have the privilege of being one of a very small group of people that was made an honorary Cook Islander many, many years ago for my work with the Cook Islands community. That work is less important than the things I learnt and that I was taught in my engagement with Cook Islanders and people from Fiji and Niue and Tonga and all of the Pacific and the things we were trying to do in Europe. I must stand here and say very clearly, very proudly, that if not for that work, for the opportunity that was offered to me, for how welcomed I was in every single part of life that I was engaged in in the Pacific, then I don't know that I would be standing here today, and would not be doing the job that I am able to.
