Today marks Grant Robertson’s final day in politics.
He’ll be delivering his final speech to Parliament today at 5:30, and leaves the field with a contested legacy.
Labour’s Ginny Andersen told Mike Hosking that he’s a real human in politics, making complicated topics understandable and reachable for everyday people.
She said he always had the funniest stories and she’s sure his final speech will encapsulate that.
National’s Mark Mitchell told Hosking that while he likes him on a personal level, he was a wrecking ball on the books as the Finance Minister.
He’s not sure that Grant’s legacy in politics is that great.
