Happy Birthday, Jim McLay! From steering the ship as New Zealand's 24th Leader of the Opposition to your brief yet memorable stint as Deputy Prime Minister—your political journey has been nothing short of legendary. Who else could pack so much leadership into just four months? Clearly, efficiency is one of your greatest strengths!Your dedication and service continue to inspire many within (and beyond) Kiwi shores. May this birthday bring you laughter louder than parliamentary debates and celebrations more vibrant than election night victories. Here's wishing you another year filled with success—and perhaps fewer opposition speeches! Cheers, Jim!
