To my colleagues in this House, as I said in my first caucus introduction, I couldn't help but feel in awe of people in the room who I had grown up with as my heroes. From the amazing Nanaia Mahuta, who I first heard speak at the Mahatma Gandhi Centre in Auckland many years ago at a husting, and Grant Robertson, who kindly took me out for a coffee in Ponsonby when as a twentysomething-year-old I had an idea I wanted to share with him. To stalwarts like David Parker, Andrew Little, and Phil Twyford, and of course, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who I voted for on more than one occasion as a medical student living in the Auckland Central electorate. To be sitting in the same room as all of you incredible Kiwis who have given years of your life to public service was, and is, very humbling. While the feeling hasn't sunk in yet, I know that I'm surrounded by people with a lot of mana in their communities and mahi behind them.
