Thank you for your service and comradeship in Parliament, @KevinHague. I'm sure you'll do great work at @Forest_and_Bird.
Huge win for NGO sector with @KevinHague returning to the fold- an immensely talented and throughly decent bloke. Good work @Forest_and_Bird

Kevin Hague is one of Parliament's decent ones. A man of integrity and courage. He'll be missed.
You should have made Kevin Hague leader. Look what you've done. Fools!

Sad to see @KevinHague go. He was always so gracious with his time (and his home phone number). And so thorough - the man reads everything!
Aaron Hawkins @CrAaronHawkins
Thanks for all your mahi @KevinHague, you've been a tireless champion for the movement & the calibre of debate will be lesser without you
Will miss @KevinHague insight and wisdom . It's been a privilege to have worked with him.
I just hope @KevinHague gets to grow a cool beard like @RusselNorman now that he's leaving Parliament.
If you bloody Greenies had had the sense to choose Kevin Hague over James Shaw then you wouldn't be sniffling and snuffling right now!
A year from now, on a balcony overlooking the Waitakere Ranges: Norman: "Remember how we used to be MPs?" Hague: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
@KevinHague nooooooo no no nooooooo - all the very best all the best.

New Zealand parliament to lose its biggest cricket aficionado @KevinHague
what if Labour staffers and @KevinHague are just the start and eventually everyone will quit parliament until it's just Steven Joyce alone
I am both gutted to be losing @KevinHague and delighted for him as he takes up his new role as CEO of @Forest_and_Bird.
I can say that there are few finer people than @KevinHague, let alone MPs.

Sad @KevinHague is leaving Parliament. He made brilliant contributions, no one better on health. Silver lining is @BarryCoates joining us.
I always thought @KevinHague would have made a great Minister of Health in the next Labour-Green government. Sad.
Sorry to hear you're going @KevinHague - Forest & Bird's gain is our loss. You would have made a great Minister of Health
Sad. @KevinHague has always been one of my top five Green MPs.
