New Zealand has a new Deputy Prime Minister as of today, with the out-going Deputy, Winston Peters handing over after 18 months in the role, and the in-coming Deputy David Seymour taking the baton for the rest of the term.
Rather than select one Deputy Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon instead selected two, both the leaders of New Zealand First and ACT were to share the role for half the term.
So how did Peters do and what can we expect from Seymour?
Mihi speaks to the Right Honourable Sir Don McKinnon who was the 12th Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand serving from 1990 to 1996 under Sir Jim Bolger for the National government.
