The year in politics has begun with a bang, with Prime Minister Christopher Luxon announcing a cabinet reshuffle that sees two big portfolios, health and transport, handed to new Ministers. But how will the new Ministers perform in their new jobs, and what did Shane Reti and Melissa Lee do wrong to lose their biggest responsibilities? Also, Donald Trump has been sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. What impact will his policies have on New Zealand and the world? To answer those questions, Rongotai MP and Green transport spokeswoman Julie Anne Genter and National's Wairarapa MP Mike Butterick joined Nick Mills for Politics Thursday.

Earlier this week, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon announced a major reshuffling of ministerial portfolios within the National party.  Among the most notable portfolio changes was handing over Dr Shane Reti's role as minister of health to Transport Minister Simeon Brown and the appointment of Nicola Willis as Minister of the newly created portfolio of Minister of Economic Growth, a title formerly known as the Minister of Economic Development. The cabinet reshuffle has led to concerns about the fate of Health NZ and Aotearoa's healthcare sector, noting that Shane Reti had over 20 years of experience working in medicine, whereas Simeon Brown has none.  The reshuffle also comes shortly after a recent poll by the Taxpayers Union showed that National's approval rating had fallen below 30%, the lowest rating they've received while in government since 1999. Oto spoke with Michael Swanson, a PHD candidate in New Zealand politics at the University of Otago, to discuss why National made the decision to shuffle their portfolios at this point in time and the impacts of the portfolio changes for the wider economy, particulary for the healthcare system and constituents in the South Island.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has kicked off the political year with the first major reshuffle of his Cabinet. Dr Shane Reti has lost Health to Simeon Brown and has been bumped down Cabinet rankings, while Melissa Lee has been stripped of all portfolios, in favour of first-term MP James Meager.

Dr Shane Reti has lost his health portfolio in a major cabinet reshuffle by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon. Simeon Brown will take over as Health Minister. Brown spoke to Paddy Gower.

The prime minister's cabinet reshuffle has been given the thumbs down from Labour. Leader Chris Hipkins spoke to Paddy Gower.

The Prime Minister says he hasn't lost confidence in Shane Reti despite sacking him as Health Minister. Dr Reti was a major casualty of Sunday's reshuffle, with Simeon Brown set to take on the role. Political commentator Ben Thomas spoke to Paddy Gower.

Simeon Brown is making his priorities clear as he prepares to take over as Health Minister. The portfolio has moved from Dr Shane Reti to Brown, moving Reti out of his fourth place in the National Party rankings. Brown indicated the targets bought in by Reti show things are beginning to stabilise but said "we really need to focus on delivery." He joins the show to discuss what he will bring to his new role.

Like many of us over the summer, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon used his downtime to reflect on the year that had been, and like many of us put together his in and out list for 2025. This is the way young people do New Year's Resolutions these days. But what's in and out took on a new rather crude spin yesterday afternoon when he announced a reshuffle of Ministerial roles for National MPs. Melissa Lee lost all her portfolios. Matt Doocey is handing over ACC, Tourism and Hospitality, and Youth to various other MP's to focus on his Mental Health and Associate Health roles. And Dr Shane Reti passes on the Health portfolio to Simeon Brown, instead picking up a new Universities roles, plus Science, Innovation and Technology. The emphasis on health and economic growth is not a surprise, and while the Prime Minister continues to express confidence in Reti, and spoke of his achievements last year, it's clear he's decided his Minister's skills are better used elsewhere. However, the health goals remain. What the government wants to see is faster cancer treatment, shorter stays in ED's, shorter wait times to see a GP, get a specialist appointment or get an elective treatment. But Health is a beast of a portfolio, and obviously it become clear to the Prime Minister that the New Zealand public is not impressed with the speed of progress towards these targets. I appreciate Luxon's loyalty – others questioned Reti's performance last year - but loyalty doesn't get the job done, and Luxon needs a political operator who can, in his words, deliver and execute. Step on up the Delivery Man, Simeon Brown. Prime Minister Luxon described Dr Reti as a top-quality human being and a team player when asked how he took the news. I couldn't agree more. He's a good guy – I've always found him to be thoughtful, dignified, his intentions genuine, and knowledgeable on the health system. But he wasn't quite so good at communicating how things were moving forward – in simple, decisive, reassuring soundbites. Yes, there were wins – such as the announcement of cancer drugs, another 17 billion being thrown at health over 3 years, and a suggestion of change in culture at Health NZ. But these can't compete with headline grabbing issues the system is facing. Things like staff shortages, governance issues, funding deficits, and the proposal to scale back Dunedin Hospital's rebuild. On top of that, too many front line and senior clinicians said Dr Reti was out of his depth. I wonder if Dr Reti is quietly sighing with relief at being moved on from a portfolio often seen as a poisonous chalice. He might not have had the mongrel to get Health under control quickly enough for the National leader, but that's not to say he won't be effective in his new roles. While the Prime Minister has previously said he sees no need for a reshuffle, this is a positive start to 2025 for Luxon. Sure, if it aint broke don't fix it, but if you think you can do better – then hell yeah, let's go. Hopefully we get a more efficient health system out of it.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has made a series of changes to his cabinet for the new year. Melissa Lee has been demoted from his ministerial team, taking her economic development and ethnic communities portfolios off her. Lee's economic development portfolio had morphed into economic growth, which has been given to Finance Minister Nicola Willis. “[Willis'] focus will be on leading the Government's growth agenda to unleash the potential of our businesses to grow, develop talent and attract investment,” Luxon said. Nicola Willis says signs of economic recovery are already starting to show. "Our plan is about more than simply getting through the recent economic downturn."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Health Minister Shane Reti is expected to be demoted in today's surprise Cabinet reshuffle. Prime Minister Chris Luxon is set to reveal some new changes to personnel and portfolios later this afternoon - and it's believed Shane Reti will be the first casualty of the new year. Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls says Luxon had not planned to do a reshuffle this early in the year, and it's unclear what inspired this change.

Following the profound setback to democratization from Golkar's takeover, constitutional justices undertook a spirited effort to restore competition to regional-head elections -- only for parliament to countermand the court a day later with a Regional Head Election Law revision.  To examine the whiplash-like effects of events, we enlisted the veteran journalist Wahyu Dhyatmika of Tempo - the venerable news group that occupies a central role in documenting Indonesia's political convulsions. We discuss the circumstances of Golkar Chair Airlangga Hartarto's resignation, the ensuing cabinet reshuffle, two momentous Constitutional Court verdicts on 20 August and the legislative reprisal led by Gerindra in parliament.  We assess the prospects for demonstrations, the implications for the legitimacy of the regional‑head election system and the longer-term consequences for the rule-of-law versus "Ruler's Law".  Credit to our intrepid journalist-and-sound engineer Steven Handoko for turning around the audio file in record time and keeping the content fresh!For a free trial of Reformasi newsletter, go to reformasi.infoRead Erin's newsletter Dari Mulut Ke Mulut here: https://darimulut.beehiiv.com/

New media minister rolls in after PM's surprise reshuffle; TV news and current affairs on the way down here, but highly competitive across the Tasman.

Two days on, it's fair to say Christopher Luxon's swift and brutal demotion of Penny Simmonds and Melissa Lee hasn't met much opposition. I appreciate these are early days for the new government and all Ministers are bedding in, but I don't think I've heard a single person publicly argue that Lee or Simmonds was doing a sufficiently good job. Not one.  Of course, opposition MPs feel duty-bound to attack in these kinds of moments. Chris Hipkins said it showed the PM had terrible judgement in appointing his Ministers in the first place.   But the co-leader of Te Pāti Māori found a different reason to criticise it. It wasn't that Melissa Lee simply wasn't cut out for Cabinet and that Penny Simmonds was lost at sea. It wasn't that facing pressures in their portfolios, the new Ministers hadn't adapted quickly enough. Apparently, it was misogyny.  Based on what? Well, as Debbie Ngarewa-Packer noted, Luxon hasn't been as forceful with male MPs in his Cabinet who've made public comments out of turn. But, of course, there's a perfectly good non-gendered explanation for that. The reason Luxon hasn't publicly hammered ACT and New Zealand First Ministers is that they are ACT and New Zealand First Ministers.  Arguably... if competence and discipline were the only things concerning the Prime Minister when it comes to Ministerial portfolios and the make up of his Cabinet, Casey Costello might have had an awkward phone call several months ago.  Some of what Debbie Ngarewa-Packer says is fair enough. She says the Ministers should have been offered more support before being cut, that other senior Ministers should have stepped in and helped. I disagree – Melissa Lee in particular had years to prepare for this moment. But even so... that's a criticism of the process which doesn't reflexively bounce to an identity extreme.  Misogyny exists. Of course it does. It exists in the private sector. It certainly exists in politics. But crying misogyny when Ministers are demoted when there are far more obvious explanations – like incompetence - actually undermines the greater issue. It devalues legitimate misogyny criticisms. Most reasonable people can see Christopher Luxon didn't demote his Ministers because they're women. He demoted them because when the pressure came on, they weren't up to it.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo has removed his finance minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, replacing him with Mohammed Amin-Adam. The outgoing minister has been spearheading Ghana's negotiations with the International Monetary Fund for loans to support the country's economic reforms. His replacement is part of a major cabinet reshuffle announced Wednesday by President Akufo-Addo. No government official was available to speak on the cabinet changes. According to Ghana Graphic Online, President Akufo-Addo expressed sincere appreciation to the outgoing ministers and deputy ministers for their dedication and hard work in office. Mustapha Gbande, the deputy general secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress party, tells VOA's James Butty, the reshuffle is an attempt by the president to compensate unemployed members of his party and not for improving the economy.

To unpack what this means, Emma Barnett is joined by Baroness Kate Fall, former deputy chief of staff to the newly appointed Lord Cameron, and Executive Editor of Politico Anne McElvoy. Double Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes spoke publicly about her sexuality for the first time in June last year.

Dame Kelly joins Woman's Hour to speak about her experience and what it meant to hear the Government's apology to LGBT veterans. In April 2020, Debenhams in Ireland closed all 11 of its stores, informing its staff they had been let go in the process.
