Who is the laziest Minister?
I’ve gone through the Beehive website and have counted up the number of releases and speeches made by each Minister since the last election five months ago. So in around 20 weeks, how many releases and speeches has each Minister managed, with the assistance of their advisors, researchers, press secretaries etc.
| Minister | Releases/Speeches |
| Ardern | 46 |
| Hipkins | 41 |
| Robertson | 34 |
| Mahuta | 30 |
| Sepuloni | 29 |
| Allan | 27 |
| Parker | 26 |
| Little | 25 |
| O’Connor | 21 |
| Nash | 21 |
| Wood | 20 |
| Woods | 18 |
| Sio | 13 |
| Davis | 10 |
| Faafoi | 10 |
| Jackson | 10 |
| Tinetti | 10 |
| Clark | 10 |
| Henare | 9 |
| Verrall | 9 |
| Shaw | 8 |
| Williams | 5 |
| Twyford | 4 |
| Radhakrishnan | 4 |
| Whaitiri | 1 |
| Davidson | 0 |
The laziest Minister is Marama Davidson who has not managed a single release in five months of drawing a $300,000 remuneration package. A close runner up is Meka Whaitiri who has done one solitary release.
