I also do just want to share what a member of my electorate in her Facebook post this evening—because I think it applies to all of our communities—said: "As a Samoan woman, we're not encouraged to talk about these things, but I have to because the silence of this is deafening. I've sat with young, vulnerable Pacific women who made this choice because of a circumstance they felt they couldn't control. I've taken them to counsellors who have helped them through the tough times because of a decision that they know will be with them for life. I've also heard the stories of young Pacific women who had their pregnancies, gave birth in bathrooms, and left their babies in dumpsters. Sadly, there are also those who are not here to share this pain. Then there is this truth. There are daughters, sisters, mothers, and friends that may have experienced this and you don't and will never know because it becomes their shame that they carry."
