Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS (Deputy Prime Minister): Colleagues, it's not uncommon on these occasions of eulogy to sometimes be wondering exactly who the speaker's talking about. The difference on this special occasion is that any words of praise and respect have a particular significance because they happen to be true. Michael Kenneth Moore's life's work was not to champion those with wealth or power or special connections. Mike's life work every day was to make things better for New Zealand and ordinary New Zealanders, to add rungs to the ladder of chance and opportunity, and to enhance New Zealand's place in the world. He truly is one of the great New Zealanders.
