There is absolutely no question that Phil Goff has represented New Zealand very well on the international stage in his role as both defence minister and trade minister, so I wouldn't rule that out but we've genuinely had no discussions with him.
I owe them that respect ... We had a result that wasn't as good as I would have liked and I will take responsibility for that.
I want to honour Phil Goff and the role he's played. He's been energetic and true to Labour's values.
The National Party has got a mandate for government, a very clear mandate, they haven't got a specific mandate to sell our assets
Labour's leadership team of Phil Goff and Annette King are expected to announce when they will stand down at a caucus meeting tomorrow.
I've made my own decision about that but I'm not talking to the media about that. I am waiting to talk my caucus first but I've made a clear decision
Having seen some of the debates between Phil Goff and John Key, they almost seemed like left and right-wing extremists.
It wasn't our time, but we are members of a great political party
If we had not taken forward a brave policy platform in this election, we would have been treated by the electorate like National was in 2002. The fact we've held up reasonably well given how popular the Prime Minister is testament to a pretty good campaign that Phil Goff has run.
I rang John Key tonight and I wished him well for the next three years
To borrow Phil Goff's language, the Epsom tea party was supposed to be about John Key breathing life back into Act. This fiasco instead pumped oxygen into another political cadaver - New Zealand First.
It wasn't our time this time
A vote for Paul Goldsmith is not a vote for me. A vote that's not for me is a vote for Phil Goff, Winston Peters, Hone Harawira and the Greens.
There's only one way to keep our power stations, to keep Air New Zealand, to keep Kiwibank 'cause that'll be on the block as well, you can bet your bottom dollar.
Two days out from the election, and once again Phil Goff and Labour are caught in another porkie which doesn't stand a moment's public scrutiny
If they get an absolute majority, they'll sell the lot and they'll sell it in short time
Labour leader Phil Goff heads to Christchurch on Thursday to shore up support in a seat his party could lose.
I think over time you're going to see more and more focus on that (social media) as more and more people draw their information online
Phil Goff is making stuff up, according to police minister Judith Collins. She's rubbished his claim that surfaced during last night's leaders' debate that there's a freeze on police recruitment for next year.
I think National's going to be borrowing about $13 billion over the next three years. Labour will borrow a little bit more for this reason - we're going to keep our assets
Phil Goff had the details and the studio craft, but after a nervous start John Key had the authority.
You're always optimistic but we've got to face up to the realities of an uncertain global environment.
Political party platforms themselves are compromises – the National Party platform probably doesn't fully reflect John Key's own views, and the Labour Party platform probably doesn't reflect Phil Goff's.
It is a cross-section that are going because unemployment is higher in New Zealand than it is in Australia
