I was looking in my office the other day—got boxes galore, cleaning it out—and I came across the article that the Manawatū Standard did in a long-form interview of me in August 2009. There's a quote in there that I want to read out to you: "It's easy to sit on the side lines and criticise. It's a lot more difficult to stand up and be counted." I won't forget the last 15 years. I'm sure Parliament won't miss my booming voice. Kia kaha, my friends and foes. Haere rā.
