I thought long and hard about what I was going to say today, and I thought about the wishing star—Hiwa-i-te-rangi. I thought about the wishing star and what would be my wish for this House and for our nation going forward at this time. I thought about what an interesting juxtaposition we had over the weekend, and unfortunately, because I was sick, I watched a little bit too much TV about Roe v Wade. So I watched that and while, on the one hand, I was feeling tremendously proud of our nationhood and how we've moved forward, I also, as a woman, felt the mamae of my sisters across the world. It was an interesting decision, and one we had had flagged and we did know was coming, but I took comfort from my Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern, and her words. We knew exactly where our Prime Minister stood, and I think her words bear repeating. She said, "Here in New Zealand we recently legislated to decriminalise abortion and treat it as a health rather than a criminal issue. That change was grounded in the fundamental belief that it is a woman's right to choose. People are absolutely entitled to have deeply held convictions on this issue. But these personal beliefs should never rob another from making their own decision."
