Our police do their jobs not seeking gratitude or glory but out of a very genuine desire to make New Zealand a safer and a better place for all of us. The officers here sacrificed their own safety to protect others, and several of them told me of their pride in protecting our Parliament—their Parliament. Their tenacity in withstanding the protesters' provocations and remaining calm, patient, and restrained is a testament to their incredible skill and their professionalism, and we all owe them our sincere and heartfelt thanks.
