The former National Party leader pays tribute to his great pal from the Greens.

James Shaw was great! I really like Chloe Swarbrick too, but I feel like Todd Mueller makes some good points about Shaw striving for consensus and working across the aisle. Hope the Greens can keep it after he’s gone.

    James Shaw has always seemed like the most sensible one in the caucus, and the one who just wants to get stuff done, rather than the more idealistic members of his party, who it often feels like would rather achieve nothing than compromise.

      Yeah exactly - he made it much easier to take the Greens seriously, and he managed to get a fair bit done. One of my favourite politicians, by far.
