I was born in 23th Of March, 1872. In Australia. Yes, Australia. Then I emigrated to New Zealand in 1907. Then in 1910 I became The chairman of the Auckland Trade Union. Fast forward to 1935 where I win the election, I introduce new reforms like 40 hour work day and standardized minimum wage. I managed to be the only Prime minister who served under THREE MONARCH. And yeah that's my life journey.
