Lee MelissaMELISSA LEE (National): Mr Speaker I begin my contribution by thanking the Government Ministers. With 10128 parliamentary written questions asked I have to say that some offices have actually done really well and some would have found out that if the quality of the answer wasn't that great they got loaded with more questions. I have also made 150 contributions according to Hansard. With the Economic Development Science and Innovation Committee (EDSI) we found out this morning that we did 94 reports to the House; 20 bills this Parliament nine in the last 12 months; 84 annual reviews; nine briefings; and 11 petitions. Well done EDSI team.I'd like to reflect on some of the things that I did during the term. I have to say when I went to Paeroa for a portfolio visit I visited a business where they actually gave me something called seaweed gin and tonic which was rather surprising.Hon Paul Goldsmith: Seaweed?MELISSA LEE: Seaweed—yes—and I have to reflect on the day that we went into lockdown racing along the pitch black darkness of the Ashburton-Christchurch highway to get back to Auckland on the last flight before we went into lockdown again back in August 2021 not knowing that it was probably the last time I was going to leave the city and with all of the cancelled flights and taxis remaining in my diary in red as a reminder of the struggles that people in Auckland went through during that lockdown period.Also when we were visiting Gore my assistant—and I won't mention his name right now—made me stand in the pouring rain just for the right photograph. The things we are made to do by assistants! I have to say that that long-serving staffer who I drive around because he never had a driver's licence—finally after eight years of being with me he has got a driver's licence. Maybe he might get to drive me when we're back once again after the election.Also there was the virtual golf simulator in Parklands Christchurch where I have to say that I beat Sir Bob Charles on one hole—one hole.Hon Paul Goldsmith: Really?MELISSA LEE: It was a simulator. It was only one hole. I was actually brought in to play a hole for one of the members there who said he didn't quite know how to hit it. It was a short hole and Sir Bob had actually sunk it in the water. I managed not to so I think that's a win. Teaching classes for our community where I had to teach them how to make Korean dumplings was actually quite interesting and visiting the big fruit in Cromwell—and I had two grand-puppies. My son came home one day and decided that he probably will never have children so he was going to introduce me to the grandchildren and in came the miniature schnauzers. I now have two: one is named Olive and the other one is named Basil. It was also an exciting thing to actually see firsthand fibre backhaul being installed down a rural Waikato highway while trying to avoid trucks and lorries. And we actually mourned the passing of the Sovereign of New Zealand Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and saw the ascension of His Majesty King Charles III.Many things have actually happened but I'd like to acknowledge some of the Korean War veterans who have actually passed in this last term including Wally Wyatt and Forbes Taylor and also Mount Albert's grand dame Alice Wylie who at the last National Party AGM got the first ever Foundation Cup who was also a foundation member. Considering the fact that the National Party was founded 87 years ago she was a longtime supporter.I'd like to remember Lena Zhang and Janak Patel of Mount Albert who were killed too soon. I remember attending Janak Patel's funeral and how heartbreaking that was—that a man who was actually just working trying to save for his family got killed in what shouldn't have actually happened in somebody wanting to commit crime.I just want to thank my staffers Matthew Stephens and Jo Cho and my Mt Albert team. I obviously don't have too much time left but everyone in this House—everyone in this House—and everyone who actually works in this precinct and I know that our leader actually thanked the gallery people as well who actually make our lives so interesting. They do a great job. And I also like to thank you Mr Speaker. And I also want to say thank you to my colleague Michael Woodhouse who actually talked about the Standing Orders. I have to say that his knowledge of House operations is encyclopaedic and I am always in awe and I wish you all good luck in the election.
