## Transcript

It's an absolute honour and a privilege to, have the ability as the leader of the New Zealand Labour Party to form a government for all New Zealanders. I also want to say that this has been a campaign, that has been. Robust and rigorous and I want to thank Bill English for the role that he has played in that campaign but also as prime minister and as serving in the past as New Zealand's finance minister. Mr English has already called me this evening and acknowledged that for the National Party, negotiations have now concluded. I personally have always believed that members of parliament come to this place in order to do good and to serve their country as best as they can.

Mr English is an absolute example of that and I want to acknowledge it. These negotiations have been robust. But there has been more that has united the parties than has divided. Labour has always believed that government should be a partner and ensuring and economy tha works and delivers For all New Zealanders. We also believe in a government that looks after its environment and that ultimately looks after its people, and I believe that Labour has found true allies in parliament to deliver on that.
