Labour Ministers from a year ago
A year ago, these were the Labour Ministers and what has happened since
- Jacinda Ardern – resigned
- Grant Robertson – still there but no longer Deputy PM
- Michael Wood – sacked
- David Parker – still there but resigned Revenue in a huff
- Poto Williams – retired
- Kris Faafoi – resigned to become a lobbyist
- David Clark – retired
- Kiri Allan – sacked
- Meka Whaitiri – defected
- Phil Twyford – retired
- Stuart Nash – sacked
- William Sio – retired
- Carmel Sepuloni – still there
- Peeni Henare – still there
- Damien O’Connor – still there
- Megan Woods – still there
- Willie Jackson – still there
- Jan Tinetti – still there
- Priyanca Radhakrishnan – still there
- Kelvin Davis – still there
- Ayesha Verrall – still there
- Andrew Little – still there
- Nanaia Mahuta – still there
- Kieran McAnulty – still there
- Chris Hipkins – still there
So in just 12 months, of their 25 Ministers we have had:
- Three sacked (would have been sacked if not resigned)
- Two resignations from Parliament
- One defection
- Four retirements
- A new Deputy PM (and PM)
- A senior Minister who quit Revenue because the PM over-ruled him
That is a huge amount of change in just 12 months.
