Women will hold the majority of seats in Parliament for the first time ever when Labour MP Soraya Peke-Mason is sworn in today.
Peke-Mason's move to Parliament was announced in June, after news that Kris Faafoi would leave politics and Trevor Mallard would move on to a diplomatic posting.
Because Gaurav Sharma announced his resignation last week, it means there's currently a 50-50 split between men and women in the House, with Peke-Mason set to tip the balance.
She spoke to Corin Dann.
