As we get closer to the October election, we’re also nearing the end of New Zealand's 53rd Parliament. And while most MPs and hoping to return in October, a number will soon be saying farewell to the halls of power for the last time.
Amongst the retiring MPs are the National Party’s Jacqui Dean, who has held the Waitaki electorate since 2008, and the Green Party’s Jan Logie, who has been a list MP since 2011.
Both have served in ministerial or under-secretary roles during their times at the Beehive, and both have experienced their time on the opposition benches.
As they leave their parliamentary careers behind, today on The Front Page Damien is joined by both MPs.
