To Matt Swann and James Baigent, two of the best men an MP could ever hope for. From young members, campaign powerhouses, MP's support and then ministerial advisers—your enthusiasm during street corner meetings, sign waving, putting up election signs, and sausage sizzles was epic. On one day of campaigning, I recall there being at least a dozen sausage sizzles that we had come into close contact with. As the day wore on, we had dutifully, and increasingly reluctantly, purchased the small goods in support of good causes. Early that evening, we thought we were done, until we pulled up to Pak 'N Save Porirua and right in front of our carpark was sausage sizzle No. 13. What happened next was pure campaign farce, as I looked back at them and said, "Which one of you BASTARDS is eating this sausage?" Matt, you were a great executive assistant and, James, the last three years having you as my ministerial adviser has been one of the pleasures of being a Minister.
