It is particularly special that tonight I get to deliver my maiden statement alongside other new members of Labour's Pasifika caucus. So to Barb, Neru, and Terisa, faamalo fa'afetai lava. And of course, my entry to Parliament has doubled Labour's Cook Island caucus. So to my Kuki Airani colleague, the Hon Poto Williams, kia orana. I also wish to acknowledge my Palmerston North colleague Teanau Tuiono on his successful election as the Green Party's first Pasifika member.
