Carter ranked higher than Joyce
Chris Carter has done his fake apology and will no doubt be kept on by Phil Goff. AMazingly he is standign again at the next election, so if you vote Labour you will be voting for Chris Carter to be a Minister again.
And as for the so called demotion, well he is ranked No 13 in a Caucus of 43. He is actually ranked higher by Phil Goff than Steven Joyce (No 14) is ranked by John Key.
Of Labour’s top 16, two were in Ministers for the 4th Labour Government, 13 were Ministers in the last Government and only one was not in the previous Executive.
By contrast, only seven of National’s 23 current Ministers were previously Ministers.
