Prime Minister Chris Hipkins has unveiled his new line-up in today's Cabinet reshuffle.

Dr Aeysha Verrall has been promoted to Minister of Health, Jan Tinetti has been promoted to Minister of Education and Nanaia Mahuta lost Local Government to Kieran McAnulty, but keeps Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Michael Wood has also been promoted to Minister for Auckland, in addition to keeping his roles as Transport Minister and Education Minister.

Chris Hipkins says Michael Wood is the right person to co-ordinate Labour's support strategy for the region and win Auckland voters over.
