I remember nearly a year ago sitting over there in the very, very backbenches when Black Rod banged on the door. It took me straight back to my years in Tikipunga High School in Whangārei and the teachings of the now Dr Brent Mawson, when he described the beginnings of the code of judicial independence in the years leading up to the English Civil War and the brave, brave work of judges like Sir Edward Coke, who took on King James, a despot and a tyrant if there ever was one, and refused to cede him absolute power. It was in those moments that we began to become a democracy that endures to this day and will be considerably strengthened and protected again by what might seem a small matter, but is never a small matter when it comes to the protection of our democracy. I commend this bill to the House.
