I will begin by acknowledging my family and friends here in the public gallery. Many who have come to this Chamber tonight to witness my final speech were also here for my maiden speech. I am grateful for your ongoing love, friendship, and support. It has been my honour to serve the people of the North Shore, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for giving me the opportunity and for having enough confidence in me to elect me three times, for trusting me to represent the interests of their beloved community since 2011. In particular, I thank Gary and Leslie Monk for their ongoing friendship and support. It has meant a lot to me. To the president, Peter Goodfellow, and the board member Alastair Bell, for all their unquestioning help and loyalty, thank you. To Don McKinnon, a mentor and friend, and, of course, Lady Clare McKinnon, thank you. I acknowledge David McKeown, who's been an outstanding North Shore electorate chair, a man of integrity and great fairness. I'm grateful for all he's done for me and for all of North Shore National, and I'm also very glad he'll be there to support the new candidate, Simon Watts, who is here in the gallery tonight.
