Who will replace David Benson-Pope?

These are the Associate Ministers for Social Development and Employment;

# Parekura Horomia - Associate Minister
# Ruth Dyson - Associate Minister
# Luamanuvao Winnie Laban - Associate Minister
# Mahara Okeroa - Associate Minister

Would one of these people step into his shoes? It would be most appropriate to have a Maori or Pacific Minister for Social Welfare. But Dyson is the most experienced. I'll put my money on her. When she and Judith Collins square off, things will get interesting.

"It would be most appropriate to have a Maori or Pacific Minister for Social Welfare"

suggesting such things, according to Winston, is racist!

Dyson would make a horrible minister - she takes no responsibility for CYF or ACCl, which is exactly the reason why Labour is more likely to pick her

However it may be appropriate to have a Maori or PI - after all all, 80-90 percent of the service centre managers are Maori or Pacific Islanders

So according to WINston, WINZ Is racist.
