As is customary, I want to acknowledge those dear ones we have lost over this year, and I want to particularly acknowledge Hinemanuhiri Vercoe. I want to acknowledge Temple Isaacs and, of course, our beloved colleague Shanan Halbert's father, Winston Halbert. These three people, particularly, were staunch supporters of Labour in my electorate. They are a big loss, and I mihi out to them and their whānau.
