One lesson that I learnt very early on is that this, despite what people may see in the debating chamber, is not as adversarial as one might think. I came into this House thinking it would be like a school ball—girls on one side, boys on the other, and no one talking—but I'm very, very pleased to say that that is not the case. I learnt that lesson when I was asked to attend a Probus meeting in Greytown as my first speaking engagement as a newly elected MP. After preparing a speech—a 45-minute speech, as was the request—I was told upon arriving not to talk about politics. What does one talk about? So I talked about the examples of the House working together, of National, Labour, New Zealand First, Greens, and ACT—when the time comes and when the task requires, we work together. There are examples of that in the recent Standing Orders Committee. I often cite the example of Ian McKelvie, my old mate from the parliamentary cricket team, and I working together to get livestock rustling across the line with the help of Andrew Little, the Minister of Justice, so that that can be seen as a crime in the Crimes Act. There are numerous examples, and I'm certain that the 120 members of this House each have one or many of their own. I think it is only appropriate that we acknowledge that.
