There is much to do to improve the lives of New Zealanders. I come here to serve and to work hard for all New Zealanders, to stand for equality and justice and against inequality and injustice, to make progressive change for all New Zealanders, especially working people and, importantly, all our children. I am committed to the vision of the Prime Minister to make New Zealand the best place in the world to be a child. This was earlier the vision of my grandfather, Sir Jim Belich, whose knighthood recognised his service to children as the long-serving president of UNICEF New Zealand.
