GREG O'CONNOR (Labour—Ōhāriu): I stand here as a someone who, before I came to this House, spent 41 years and nine months as a police officer, 21 years of them on the front line. I acknowledge my colleague Mark Mitchell across the way, who spent a little bit less time than that. I also acknowledge those of my ex-colleagues who are out there. Someone mentioned they'll be starting just heading off for night shift tonight, many of them, not knowing what's going to happen. That's one of the reasons why probably many of us liked joining the police—that sense of better work stories and not quite knowing what's going to happen. It's certainly a job that I found very fulfilling over those years.
