HARETE HIPANGO (National—Whanganui): Thank you. It's a privilege to stand this evening and for the first time this year—and for a long time, in fact—to address the House in relation to this bill, the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Amendment Bill. Mr Speaker, you and I both know, being locals of Whanganui, that one of our own from that community who has committed and dedicated his life working as a disabled person and an advocate in the disability sector, Robert Martin, had been honoured in the New Year Honours List and is soon to be knighted for his advocacy on the global stage, on the United Nations. In fact, members in this House and members who have been in the House since 2014 may well recall when Dame Tariana Turia, as Minister for Disability Issues, recommended Robert Martin—soon to be Sir Robert—for the post, travelling with him to New York to support his nomination in 2014. He will return to New York again to seek reappointment in that role, to continue the advocacy in this space—and importantly, one around the disability communities.
