The Good and the Bad
A lot has happened in Tāmaki over the past month, both good and bad.

Olympic Spirit
While it’s a bit colder outside, I hope you have the chance to catch some of the Olympics. A big congratulations to the Black Ferns for already securing a gold medal, it bodes well for the rest of the competitions! It’s been great to see our local shops in St Heliers supporting Team NZ with their Olympic window displays.

Budget Business and Turning Tāmaki Pink
I hope you had a wonderful King’s Birthday Weekend! The sun was out and so was I with a few volunteers delivering leaflets for our upcoming community meeting (more on this below). Congratulations to all the remarkable Kiwis who received Royal Honour’s this weekend, including five fabulous members of our Tāmaki electorate who were honoured. I wish to acknowledge Lesley Milne (CNZM), Allison Ferguson (ONZM), John Collins (MNZM), Lorraine Cranmer Mentz (MNZM), and Dr Matire Harwood (KSM) for their work in our community and their appointments. It is inspiring to see the change even one individual can make in New Zealand.

Time to take stock and reflect
We’re now six months into the Parliamentary term since the election and it’s a good time to take stock and reflect. I’m happy to report there’s no place I’d rather be than right here in Tāmaki. It’s been an absolute pleasure to serve as your local Member of Parliament and as a Minister in Cabinet in this coalition Government. I can’t wait to see what excitement the next six months bring!

Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to you and yours! I hope that wherever you were this long weekend that you had time to rest, relax and eat chocolate. In Parliament, the Government has ticked off its 100-day plan and I wanted to give you an update on important priorities that I’ve set for my term ahead in the Beehive and in Tamaki.

Back in Full Swing
I hope you’ve been able to enjoy the (mostly) stunning weather on the Tāmaki waterfront lately. Parliament is now back in full swing and I wanted to let you know how I’ve been representing you in the Beehive, in Parliament, and here at home in our community.

Welcome to 2024!
Welcome to 2024! I hope everyone had a great summer with time to relax and refresh. I was fortunate to spend time with family away from the phone and computer, but it didn’t take long to start thinking about what I wanted to achieve for 2024 in Tamaki, in Government and for ACT. It’s going to be a great year and we’ve hit the ground running.

Signing Off
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I know that for many Kiwis Christmas came early with a change of Government, but I also hope you have a wonderful summer spending time with your nearest and dearest.

My Work has just Begun
Since my last update to you, National, ACT, and NZ First have formed a coalition Government. It is my absolute honour and privilege to have been sworn into the Executive Council as Minister of Internal Affairs and Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety. I will work diligently and do my best as a Cabinet Minister to deliver for the Government and all people of New Zealand.
