To my mum and dad, I'm here because of you, because of the unconditional love you showed to both me and Laura and because of the values and principles that you instilled in us. To my sister, Laura, thank you for being a wonderful sister who loves my little girls like they were your own. To my husband, Andrew, we met because of our shared values and desire to make New Zealand a better, fairer place. I'm grateful for you and your love and support every single day.
