Grant Robertson bows out of Parliament with valedictory speech

From Nights, 10:17 pm on 20 March 2024

Earlier today former Labour deputy prime minister and finance minister Grant Robertson drew the curtains on his 15-year parliamentary career.

During the nearly 40-minute speech he touched on his successes, failures and also included some gentle and humorous barbs thrown his now former colleagues' way.

But what about those who are on the other side of politics, what did they think of the speech and Robertson's legacy.

To help us answer that we're joined by former National MP and attorney-general Chris Finlayson.
