She says there's “so many things” that happen in Europe and the UK that affect New Zealanders.

"There are a lot of European nations doing really interesting things and so it will be great to tell those stories and bring them back and see if people in New Zealand can take up some of those ideas." "The cost of living, the Ukraine war, there's so many things that happen over here that do influence and affect New Zealanders back home, and there are so many New Zealanders here doing some really cool things." "Honestly, it's one of those things where this role is so important, you're kind of the window to this part of the world for so many New Zealanders, and there's so many important things happening over here.
