Chris Hipkins is set to make his first public appearance since Labour's election loss.  

The party will farewell a huge number of outgoing MPs at their first caucus meeting this morning.  

Political Editor, Jason Walls, told Mike Hosking that the media hasn't heard from the Labour leader over the past few days.  

He says Hipkins has basically gone to ground after the election loss, but he will front media before caucus meets this morning.
