CEOs rate the Ministers
The Herald’s annual mood of the boardroom rates the Ministers out of 5. Here’s the scores:
- Grant Robertson 3.62
- Jacinda Ardern 3.30
- Winston Peters 3.20
- David Parker 3.06
- Andrew Little 2.88
- Stuart Nash 2.82
- Phil Twyford 2.77
- Damien O’Connor 2.71
- Shane Jones 2.55
- David Clark 2.47
- Megan Woods 2.43
- Iain Lees-Galloway 2.42
- Carmel Sepuloni 2.40
- Jenny Salesa 2.39
- Ron Mark 2.35
- Nanaia Mahuta 2.28
- Chris Hipkins 2.26
- Tracey Martin 2.22
- Kelvin Davis 1.84
A bit rough on Chippie having a lower rating than Nanaia Mahuta!
Kelvin Davis’ rating is no surprise but a reminder he is Labour’s Deputy Leader. He has the equivalent role to Don McKinnon, Wyatt Creech, Michael Cullen and Bill English in previous Governments. Those deputy leaders were all seen as one of the strongest Ministers. Labour’s Deputy Leader is seen as a train wreck.
