I am a citizen of Aotearoa New Zealand, but this is not my tūrangawaewae; this is not my standing place. My standing place is almost exactly at the antipode of where we stand today: straight through the globe. But in recognising that this is not my tūrangawaewae, I recognise, too, the importance of taking my affirmation of allegiance as a citizen in te reo Māori. I also took my affirmation in te reo Māori here in this House.
