INGRID LEARY (Labour—Taieri): A few weeks ago I had the pleasure and privilege of attending the farewell for Her Excellency Laura Clarke at Homewood. Normally, the Homewood Ball is something of a great occasion to attend, but this one was particularly special, and it wasn't because Laura Clarke can speak te reo Māori and that her children, who have been here for a number of years, were learning te reo Māori. It wasn't because of the festivities that had been held over because COVID had stymied the Christmas plans. It was because there was a real sense of achievement that a group of different people from different organisations had come together and achieved and landed something absolutely historical, something more important than had been landed in about 50 years, and that was the free-trade agreement between New Zealand and the UK.
