Labour leader Chris Hipkins has paid tribute to long-serving Labour MP Andrew Little, who announced his departure from politics on Monday.
Little - who was elected in 2011 - has chosen not to take up his list seat, clearing the way for another Labour MP to return to Parliament.
Little led the Labour Party from 2014 until 2017, when he stood aside for Jacinda Ardern, and has held ministerial positions including justice, immigration, and Treaty of Waitangi negotiations.
Little spoke to Corin Dann.
