When Andrew Little sits opposite John Key at Question Time on Tuesday, it will be a sweet moment for Labour. The Mt Roskill byelection victory on Saturday was not a matter of Labour keeping a safe Labour seat.

While the Mt Roskill campaign was locally run, the Victorian and federal Labor Party have been advising New Zealand Labour. With Mt Roskill behind him, Little can focus on the election.
