I rise as a new list member of Parliament for the Labour Party. I greet you, all House of Representatives of Parliament in New Zealand. May I begin by respectfully recognising this Whare. Here in Wellington, I greet our Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern, by thanking her and the Labour Government, the House of Representatives, our Māori elders, tangata whenua, our people of Aotearoa. To all members of Parliament across all political parties, I greet you respectfully in te reo, our Pasifika languages, though short but significant.
