Tēnā koe, Mr Speaker. I am proud to stand here as the new member of Parliament for Northcote. I'm here to be a strong local voice for my community. I want to share my future vision for Northcote, but I want to start with my personal story. It's one of modern Aotearoa. While Auckland is my home now, I grew up in Napier. My family didn't have much money, but what they did have was a whole lot of love. My mum was the main breadwinner. She worked at the local fish and chip shop, she picked fruit, she worked at St Joseph's Māori Girls' College, and for the past 20 years as a checkout operator at Napier Pak 'N Save. She worked tirelessly for her employers, despite the long hours and demands of raising a family. She is my example of why we should all support our essential workers. She's here today. Thank you, Mum.
