Chris Hipkins announced his shadow cabinet on 30 November 2023, after the formation of the Sixth National Government. As the Labour Party forms the largest party not in government, this shadow cabinet is the Official Opposition of the New Zealand House of Representatives.
List of spokespersons
On 7 November 2023 the Labour caucus re-elected Hipkins as leader and elected Carmel Sepuloni deputy leader after Kelvin Davis declined to remain in the role. Labour's senior and junior whips, Tangi Utikere and Camilla Belich respectively, were re-elected. Portfolios would be deferred until the incoming government was formed.[1] On 29 November it was revealed that Grant Robertson and Ayesha Verrall would hold the finance and health portfolios, with the remainder to be announced the following day.[2]
