It is a huge privilege to be able to speak in this Address in Reply debate in response to the Speech from the Throne, which set out the Government's agenda for the next three years. The election delivered the kind of outcome that we didn't expect in some really challenging times. But voters chose stability and certainty at this election. It's the first time under MMP that we've got a majority Government, and we're not taking that for granted. In fact, what we're saying is that, during these very uncertain and challenging times, we will ensure that, for those things that will make a difference in the lives of many New Zealanders across many communities in our country, we will steward through the kind of plan that will see our way through.
