My mother demonstrates a passion for a sense of community and of supporting those who are more vulnerable than others, particular traits that she inherited from my late grandfather, Ted Thorner. My father demonstrates the trait of integrity. He taught me by his own actions that integrity is something you feel and experience rather than something you specifically define and see, that you do what you say you will do, and that you will treat others as you wish to be treated. These are particular traits that I hope to exemplify as I go about my duties as a member of this House. My parents also knew that education was too important to ignore, so they encouraged their children to be more engaged with education and to do well, something that my siblings and I will for ever be very grateful to them for. So thank you, Mum and Dad.
