Shadow Cabinet of Andrew Little

Andrew Little announced his reshuffled shadow cabinet on 30 November 2015, just over a year after he was elected Leader of the Labour Party in New Zealand.^[1] As the Labour Party forms the largest party not in government, this Frontbench team is as a result the Official Opposition of the New Zealand House of Representatives.
