Page "Charles Chauvel (politician)" Paragraph 18

::" Dad ’ s story is a classic, and timely, reminder of the way in which immigrants, and the children of immigrants, have come to New Zealand and made their contributions to our society.

His arrival in New Zealand took place some 20 years before the first modern migration here from the Pacific.

So it has taken longer for the pattern of achievement that he and his family followed to be replicated more widely.

But the achievements of the present generation of New Zealand born Pacific people, and their parents, are a catalogue of successes in the arts, in sport, in business and in the professions.
