GARETH HUGHES (Green): Kia ora, Mr Speaker. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou, kia ora. I think the most important question members should ask themselves in the Budget Debate is: how does it help regular, real people in New Zealand? Now, it was Sir Geoffrey Palmer who once said about being a member of Parliament that it's the best education you can have into your country. Now, I don't think he meant about sitting in this Chamber. I think what he meant was actually getting out and talking to people in their factories, their workplaces, and their offices, and for me, the greatest privilege of my decade here is literally being invited into people's homes and getting to have those conversations.
