Key man in innovation role?
Key man in innovation role?
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 25 October 2011 ) Well, whew, that’s the Rugby World Cup out of the way with a win, and National’s presumably looking to see if it achieves the same at the election.

Obviously he’s too busy doing the rest of his Prime Ministerial role to be able to carry it all out by himself, so the talk is that he’d have a couple of associate ministers to assist, with a couple of female MPs touted to do the heavy lifting.
