mike-hosking-breakfast Judith Collins: Retiring National MP reflects on her 24 year political career 2026-05-12 · 34s
Oh, massive, massive, massive. So, Mike, I know that I couldn't have done what I've done in the style I have if I didn't know I always had a career to go to if this didn't work out. And and I think that's made a huge difference. So, you know, 21 years in law and business and governance before I went in meant that when I became a minister, I treated it as I had as a chairman of a board. So I'd been a chairman of a board before a couple of times, so I knew what to do, and that's the closest thing to it.
