Parliament heard tributes this afternoon to former prime minister Jim Bolger, who died on Wednesday.
Prime Minister Chistopher Luxon described Bolger as a "towering figure in New Zealand politics".
"(He was) a leader of conviction, a reformer of consequence, and a servant of the people whose legacy has shaped our nation in profound and lasting ways."
Labour leader Chris Hipkins said Bolger "had a knack for offering his insights and wisdom without ever coming across as patronising or condescending.
"He remained a mentor and a friend to anyone in this house who sought out his guidance."
