In 1992, one of the best things happened to me: I met my life partner, Alofa Aiono. Shout-out to Val Little and Sue Rostron, who I will forever thank for helping make that happen. I joined the Lauofo and Aiono families from Samoa. I acknowledge Alofa's mother, the late Lina Malatina Lauofo from Luatuanu'u. Three of her beautiful sisters represent her here today: Aunty Otilia, Aunty Carol, and Aunty Sita. I acknowledge Alofa's father, the late Tuisavelalo Aiono from Fasito'outa, the last of his line. Tui and Lina were among the first families in Porirua and founding members of the PIC—Pacific Island Christ the King Church. Their baby daughter bringing me home was a little bit unexpected. Over many years, I went from being Alofa's friend, to her girlfriend, to her partner, to being their daughter-in-law, to their daughter. In honour of Tui and Lina Aiono, I commit to supporting the Pasifika MPs in this House and working for Pasifika peoples here and in the islands.
