Labour lobs science and innovation agenda at National
Labour lobs science and innovation agenda at National – watch out Stephen Joyce!
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 22 Dec. 2011 ) Among the (little) talk of Labour’s shadow cabinet line-up, one small fact’s escaped general notice.
New Opposition leader David Shearer has retained the Science & Innovation portfolio.
Excellent.
This is the first time since the 1930s that either the Prime Minister or the leader of the opposition has held this role. (George Forbes had it back then).
