In my maiden speech, when I first came to Parliament, I said "I believe in freedom, hard work, determination, courage, an ability to question and challenge, and a commitment to help those most in need." I also talked about the importance of our environment, being the greatest asset that we have as a country. I told my electorate I would be a liberal who fought for freedom, a blue-green who would fight for the environment, and someone who would continue to fight for those disadvantaged while persevering for a more modern and dynamic country. My office has served not just my constituents but thousands of businesses and community organisations. As a constituency MP, I have enjoyed the many wins where you can fundamentally change the course of people's lives with a letter or a phone call.
