I want to say thanks to my family: my wife, Olivia, and son, Peter; my parents, Olita and Senara, Tauraa and Liz, and especially my late father Faleafa Pita. And to my nine siblings, those who could be here: Muliagatele Alaisalatemaota, Tauanuu Nicholas Backulich, Iutisone. And Vaifale Melvin and my siblings who couldn't be here, their partners and children, who make up our beautiful, blended aiga. To my extended family, who have flown here as well, representatives from my Leavasa family, Tamasese family, and Vaifale family, also to my Takanini Labour Electorate Committee (LEC), Māngere LEC, and my church whānau, who have supported me. I honour them for all their hard work and prayers during these last few years. It has been an incredible journey to get to this moment, to be a new MP for the inaugural seat of Takanini. I want to show my appreciation to my Takanini community, to all those who placed their trust in me to be their first member of Parliament. I do not take this lightly. I will do my best to represent them and serve them well. I thank my campaign team and the Takanini LEC, some who were able to make it today: Namulauulu Anne Singh, Kharag Singh Sidhu, Tauanuu Nick Bakulich, Raj Singh, Liz Pale, and their families. I offer my deepest appreciation.
