I just want to start by acknowledging the member who introduced the bill, the Hon Nikki Kaye, who has since left. Nikki Kaye put her heart and soul into this bill. She fought hard for it. She was a member of Parliament with very strong beliefs. She was determined that New Zealand kids would have access to the enormous cognitive, cultural, social, and economic benefits that come from having the opportunity to learn a second language in those early years of education. As most people would be aware, at most secondary schools we have the opportunity to learn different languages, but at primary and intermediate schools it is much more mixed—certainly, I didn't learn any at my primary and intermediate school. So Nikki Kaye fought very hard for this. She managed to convince the Minister Chris Hipkins for Labour to support this at first reading, and Nikki Kaye certainly had an indefatigable style about her argumentation. She was like a dog at a bone with these issues and she fought very hard for this bill. In fact, her basic style was to hammer away so that people would eventually give in to whatever she was arguing for, just to get her to stop, and it was quite effective. I'm sure she applied that technique on the Minister. I was glad that he gave us the opportunity for this to be considered.
