Chris Hipkins was born and raised in the Hutt Valley in Wellington, and while at Victoria University of Wellington became heavily involved in student politics
He entered Parliament after winning the Remutaka seat in 2008.
During his time he’s served as Minister of Education Police, the Public Service, and Leader of the House became regarded as Labour's "Mr Fix It”.
After Jacinda Ardern’s resignation, he of course became Prime Minister early this year.
A great pleasure to welcome Chris Hipkins on for Six and A Song.
