What Kimi Ora and you, Prime Minister, demonstrated to me was that many of the answers to how we can tackle some of the big challenges in this country are likely to already exist in the communities we serve, and it is up to us as elected representatives to keep our eyes and ears open to them, by being engaged and staying connected with the people on the ground who are doing the real work. In this job, every decision we make will have an impact on the lives and livelihoods of others.
