John Key MP National Party Leader

18 November 2008

National Party Leader John Key says the National Party Caucus has confirmed its whips.

"Nathan Guy is to be the Government's senior whip, and Chris Tremain will be the junior whip."

Mr Guy was elected to Parliament in 2005 on National's list and successfully challenged Labour's Darren Hughes to win the Otaki electorate seat in the 2008 election.

Mr Guy was appointed National's senior whip in February 2008, replacing Anne Tolley. Mr Tremain was appointed junior whip at that time too.

Mr Tremain came into Parliament in 2005 and won the Napier seat for National, the first time that Napier had been won by National since 1951.

Public Housing Futures: Christmas Comes Early For Landlords

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More

Green Party: Petition To Save Oil & Gas Ban

“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More

PSA: MFAT Must Reverse Decision To Remove Te Reo

MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti.
