I know it seems lonely to continue the battle when everything is against us, but the mark of true leadership is being prepared to stand alone for a cause in which you believe. I could spend my whole life wondering if I have the same courage as my cousin. For the sake of our democracy, I hope no one in this House ever needs to find out. What I do know is that I am lucky to be born with the freedoms New Zealanders have, and they're freedoms we secure each day in this House when we engage with each other peacefully, rationally, and with restraint.
