Who becomes a Minister in the听new National-Act-NZ First Government has been revealed, including in vital Cabinet portfolios like Foreign Affairs, Finance, Health and Education.听 听
In some portfolios there were obvious choices - such as Dr Shane Reti as Health Minister - but others were much less certain.听
That included how many and what ministerial positions were secured by both the Act Party and NZ First, after protracted coalition negotiations.听
Most important are those within the Cabinet, which is a group of government ministers who meet regularly to deliberate and make key decisions on policy and political issues.听
