Ōhāriu MP Greg O'Connor joins Nick Mills this morning to talk his exit from politics, the Labour list and Rakesh Naidoo candidacy controversy.

After three terms as the Ōhāriu MP for Labour, O'Connor is calling it quits.

He chats to Nick about the reason, and if it has anything to do with the list rankings released yesterday. 

O'Connor says he wouldn't have enjoyed being a list MP as much as looking after his electorate.

They look back at his successful political career and forward to his future, and if he could appear in another party one day.

Then O'Connor shares his thoughts on the Labour list, including Superintendent Rakesh Naidoo. 

Naidoo has appeared 13th but has been in hot water over informing Police Commissioner Richard Chambers later than Chambers believed was acceptable.
