Napier MP Chris Tremain has been promoted from junior to senior whip in the National caucus and Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew has been elected junior whip.
I don’t know Chris well but he obviously performed well as junior whip if his colleagues supported his nomination for the senior position.
Jo won Aoraki from Jim Sutton in 2005 and took the new seat of Rangitata with a good majority last year. She is a lovely person who works hard and performs well as the MP for a very large electorate where she is very popular.

I am a very modest person, I’m sure even my critics would agree but I picked very accurately the result yesterday. Chris Tremain for senior and either Jo Goodhew or Jacqui Dean for junior whip.
I was always impressed how Nathan Guy and Chris Tremain always looked so keen and proactive.
A contrast to the Labour’s cynical Steve Chadwick and Darren Hughes, Helen’s only son !!!!

Neil – you did pick it accurately and it’s there for posterity in your comment on yesterday’s post.

Great to see Jo been rewarded for all the hard work she does, especially in her own electrorate because it is a big chunk of the mainland she is looking after.
Her hard work is also reflected in the fact that for lot of people the name Jim Sutton is just a vague memory.
