One of Parliament's more controversial characters bids the place farewell today.
Chris Carter will deliver his valedictory speech.
Labour leader, Phil Goff, is side-stepping questions on whether his former colleague will take the chance for more pot shots at him and the party.
"It's up to Chris Carter what he puts in his valedictory address. I wish him well for his future career. I'm not attempting to influence what he might or might not say, that's up to him,'' he says.
Mr Carter is off to Afghanistan to take up a United Nations role fighting corruption.
