He's also the leader of the house and Minister for State Services (I think).
Top dude!
His 1st task is to check contract tracing is still OK.
He's on to it.

For the first time, I feel sorry for David Clark as he fronted up to announce his resignation.
Comrade Cindy did not have the grace to front with him and offer some kind words.
Instead, she held a separate media briefing - so she is in his presence and so, is not associated with all the failures which are now heaped on Clark.
As cynical as you can ever get.
So it's official. Cindy had no options open to her to promote someone, so she has overloaded Chris Hipkins. Not since 1935 has both Health and Education been held by the same Minister.
Mr Hipkins admits to having no health sector experience. Go Cindy...you've got this!

Oh dear for David Clark!
Supports your contention however that Labour could put someone useless like David Clark back again and he would still romp home easily.
Question of the day :
If NZ is boasting of successfully containing & managing the virus outbreak, why has the Health Minister resigned?

A week seems a long time ago for the ever cynical one :
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says under-fire Health Minister David Clark will keep his job. Asked if she Dr Clark would keep his job at least until the election, she confirmed he would.
She said he had been part of a team which had successfully fought Covid-19. :t_up:
