VANUSHI WALTERS (Labour—Upper Harbour): Tēnā koe, Mr Speaker, and thank you for the opportunity to take a short call in relation to this important bill. I want to begin by recognising the words of Minister Verrall in the House this evening, but also recognising her work in shepherding this important bill through the House. I also want to recognise the important message that our Minister the Hon Kiri Allan sent earlier this year when she shared her story. The impact of her story has in many ways been a ripple that's created a wave—a wave of conversations but also a wave of action, as many New Zealand women around the country have spoken to each other and made the trip to have their cervical smears done as well. Several weeks ago, I attended an event run by an organisation called Empower Her, which was an ethnic women's empowerment event at the Fickling Convention Centre in Auckland. There were about 40 women attending the event who recognised the importance of Minister Allan speaking up and the impact it had had for them, as well. I have no doubt that her words have had an impact on several.
