Shane Reti retires

Shane Reti has announced he will retire at the general election. He has been an MP for 12 years, during which time he has been deputy leader, acting leader and a senior Minister. Shane is a hell of a nice guy, and one who has been absolutely driven by a desire to improve NZ’s health system. He served as a GP for many years, and also studied at Harvard Medical School.

His Whangarei seat is relatively safe for National, so will also be keenly contested I am sure.
