I acknowledge my wife, Sushan, who has given me her full support for my political endeavours, despite the many negative stories about the toll that being a member can have on families. I also thank my daughter, Sofia, though she's only three years old and doesn't really know what's going on, for not kicking up a fuss, which is unusual, and for enabling an easy job transition. She loves to tell her friends at day care that her daddy works at the Beehive, which is not quite true, but you never know what the future may hold. I do find it quite entertaining when she tells me to be careful of the bees at work—I actually think she's wise beyond her years. As an aside, my daughter is a half-Chinese seventh generation New Zealander, and I certainly hope that she doesn't experience the horrendous racism that my wife has experienced and continues to experience in this country.
