Katherine Rich on reshuffle
National Party Economic Development spokeswoman Katherine Rich said today she was happy to handle whatever portfolios
the leader asks her to work in.
Mrs Rich said she looked forward to her new roles as Associate Finance and Associate Health spokeswoman and also the new
role of ACC, where she is determined to see New Zealanders obtain choice.
These will be added to the portfolios she already is responsible for - Crown businesses and Economic Development.
"As I have said on many previous occasions, I support the National Party and Don Brash 100 per cent."
Ms Rich declined to comment further on her removal from the Welfare role and her relegation from No 4 in the rankings to
a second bench position as No 10.
"I'm looking forward to the new set of challenges in these important portfolio areas," says Mrs Rich.
