Labour leader Andrew Little will do a "slight rejig" of his caucus this week after Clayton Cosgrove's decision not to stand next year, but has ruled out changing key personnel such as finance spokesman Grant Robertson.
Little said he had no plans to replace Robertson or make any significant changes to his line-up after TVNZ Colmar Brunton poll had Labour at just 28 per cent.
"There will be some slight rejigging in the next week or so, but I'm not anticipating any significant changes." There was speculation former finance spokesman David Parker could get the finance role back, but Little and Parker denied it had come up.
Little said nobody had suggested he change the finance spokesperson, and when he set up his Shadow Cabinet in 2014 he made it clear Robertson would be in the finance role until at least next year's election. "I'm totally satisfied with Grant's performance and have no intention of changing him out of the finance role."
Parker ruled himself out for the finance role during the 2014 leadership contest, which he took part in.
