Jacinda’s inner circle

A premium article at the Herald “reveals” Jacinda’s inner circle.

I’m more interested in roles, than names. The roles are:

  • Her electorate agent
  • A former Young Labour activist now in the PM’s Office
  • Her Chief of Staff
  • Her Deputy Chief of Staff (about to become CoS)
  • Her Chief Press Secretary
  • Helen’s Chief of Staff (H2)
  • Labour’s former Deputy Leader (Annette)
  • Her former Chief of Staff
  • Her pollster
  • Three Ministers

Key’s inner circle was somewhat different as he had quite a few people in the business community that he would talk to regularly also. And I believe he would also often chat at length to some bank economists to get their read on where the economy is going.
