Green MPs reshuffle policy portfolios
The Green Party Caucus has today reallocated its policy portfolios amongst its six MPs for the coming parliamentary
term.
Co-Leader Rod Donald says that there has been some reshuffling, as well as the reallocation of responsibilities
previously covered by departed MPs.

including Justice, Conservation and Biosecurity," Mr Donald says.
