I also saw throughout Mr O'Connor's political career that empathy and commitment to education and values that is similar to the Green Party's, not the least of which Mr O'Connor shared in his maiden speech in Parliament in 2017. He spoke of the empathy for people—and it was during his time with the undercover police that others have spoken about—who haven't always been able to make the best choices in life. I quote: "Our efforts to protect victims by diverting and steering people away from crime must involve realistic alternatives as well as punishment. You can't get back on to the straight and narrow if you never knew what straight and narrow looked like in the first place." We in the Green Party welcome this insight and experience to the role of Deputy Speaker, which I think will make a great complement to your role, Mr Speaker. Kia ora.
