There are a few new faces in Labour's new Shadow Cabinet.Â
The top 10 has six women and four men, and prioritises portfolios like climate change, child poverty, and social development.Â
Most former ministers are staying on in their roles, including Grant Robertson, Ayesha Verrall and Ginny Andersen, but Damien O'Connor has lost the agriculture portfolio to Jo Luxton.Â
Former Labour Cabinet Minister Iain Lees-Galloway told Mike Hosking that the line-up seems to be based on talent and future prospects.Â
He says no one can be particularly upset with their position, and Chris Hipkins has done a good job distributing the portfolios to people who will do well in them.Â
