ACT Leader Rodney Hide today congratulated the Hon Phil Goff on his appointment as Leader of the Labour Party, and the Hon Annette King as Deputy Leader.
"I would also like to recognise the extraordinary service that the Rt Hon Helen Clark and the Hon Dr Michael Cullen provided to the Labour Party and New Zealand," Mr Hide said.
"As Prime Minister, Helen Clark showed unfailing commitment to New Zealand and its people.
"Phil Goff and Annette King are politicians who clearly have the qualities required to lead the Labour Party. They are well respected, and we look forward to working with them for the good of our country.
"We don’t always agree, but I know Phil Goff and Annette King put their country first," Mr Hide said.
