Shane Jones spent some of his Covid-19 lockdown days building a garden planter box with his family.
In a Facebook post, the NZ First MP gave a shout out to his wife Dot and mother-in-law Linda Pumipi for helping with the box.
Introducing his mother-in-law as she shovelled soil, Mr Jones called her a “great gardener".
"She’s totally overwhelmed that in real life, I measure twice and cut once," he said.
“In professional life, she wants to see me think twice and speak once - a work in progress."

Mr Jones added, pointing at the level tool: “Like my career, I’m the level. When I hammer, I strike true.”
Yesterday, NZ First and its coalition partners in Government agreed to move New Zealand to Covid-19 Alert Level 3 from next Tuesday.
