The now-former Hauraki-Waikato MP Nanaia Mahuta feels a sense of liberation and is looking forward to what the future holds in store for her.
After 27 years representing the people, her people, of Waikato, the former Foreign Affairs, Maori Affairs and Youth Minister for the Labour Government was defeated by 21-year-old Hana Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke of Te Pati Maori.
“Hana is in and I’m out and I’m going to move on. I get time to spend with whanau, I get time to spend on myself,” she tells Maori Television’s Te Ao with Moana.
She is excited about planning her future and choosing what comes next.
“That’s quite a liberating feeling. I look at a number of politicians who are out of that place and how relieved, relaxed and vibrant they look and some of them look even younger now than they did when they were in Parliament.
