Paula Bennett and Grant Robertson in conversation on Bennett's podcast Ask Me Anything
Where once they could be seen challenging each other from opposite sides of the parliamentary floor, now they're swapping jokes about suits, rugby and stress eating.
Former deputy prime ministers for Labour and National respectively, Grant Robertson and Paula Bennett, sat down together to launch the new season of Bennett's Ask Me Anything podcast, and the result is more friendly banter than fiery debate.
Talking about the outfit she opted to wear for the interview, Bennett says she bought the red suit when she first left politics as "a bit of an f-you."
