I signed the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and worked alongside our agriculture, forestry, and business sectors to plan true change in how we live our lives to better look after our planet. I visited some of our remotest and hardest-hit Pacific islands and saw firsthand the vulnerability they are exposed to because of climate change. While on that visit, at a large gathering where New Zealand was acknowledged for the work that they had done, in the Pasifika way they wanted to give gifts to show their respect. So the EU commissioner who was travelling with us was duly—in front of the hundreds that were there—given a framed picture. McCully stood up and he was duly given a carved canoe. And then they looked at me as the most senior Minister on the trip, and the Prime Minister's face just lit up, aglow. He was so pleased and he said to me, literally, "Because you're a woman we've made you a laundry basket." The look on the officials' faces, as they didn't know what to do—like, I swear one almost wanted to dive in front of said laundry basket. I graciously accepted the gift, of course, and I may have, a couple of months later, when Acting PM for a day, actually called those officials and made them stand for an official unveiling ceremony for said laundry basket.
