Two of us stood for selection late in 2004. It was a close match, and Henry arrived just a couple of days before the selection. So on the final selection night, Erica turned up with Henry in one of those baby capsules, passed him along the front of all these voting delegates—Henry, I owe you a lot, mate. The party hierarchy, they toned my expectations down. Darren Hughes—formidable MP, had a majority of 7,732. They said, "You won't win. Just work hard for the party vote.", and I thought, "Bugger them—I'm going to show them a thing or two." So I worked really hard, and on election night I was devastated. We missed by 382 votes the most marginal seat in the whole country. But I worked hard from then on. There's a saying in politics: you turn up to every cat burial and envelope opening, and I did that. In 2008, we had 500 people turn up to our campaign launch, which was huge in Levin—it was probably because John Key was there that attracted all those people—and as they say, the rest is history.
