Local MP Takes Up Ministerial Roles

Coromandel Member of Parliament, Scott Simpson, has today been appointed as the Minister for ACC and the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs.

This following Andrew Bayly standing down as a Minister after an “inappropriate” incident with a staff member.

Scott described the appointment as a privilege.

“I’m excited by the opportunity that Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has given me to take on these two new portfolio roles.

“I relish the chance to be a part of the broader coalition team that is working to get New Zealand’s economy growing and thriving again.

“I’m heading to Wellington today and I’m looking forward to hitting the ground running.”
