History is a passion of mine, and I remember one day sitting in here sort of daydreaming and listening to some dreary debate. I was looking around the walls at the 33 memorials to famous battles where New Zealanders have fought. I noticed, though, that one was missing—our foundational conflict: the New Zealand Wars. I researched, I wrote, I lobbied and worked through committees, and I'm so glad that one now sits in pride of place above the main door. It's part of the movement to redress our collective amnesia and, for me, remind us that sovereignty wasn't ceded in a treaty; it was taken at the point of a musket. So, in terms of my impact on this place, history will judge if I've left a mark, but at least I can tell my kids I left a plaque.
