She was a pretty hard worker for NZ, and had a reasonably firm control over her MPs most of the time. I don't think anyone can doubt her commitment and for the most part her integrity (inconsequential bullshit like the painting signature aside).

Regardless of your politics I think she was a fantastic PM and deserves to go down as one of the well-remembered and respected leaders of NZ. I think she'll be superb in a UN ambassadorial style role, if that's what she does.
