Her appointment as Foreign Affairs minister back in November made headlines after becoming the first woman and first Maori to have the role and I think that she's doing alright as Foreign Affairs Minister after only two months at the job.
She also holds the role as the Minister of Local Government, and also held many other ministerial roles in both the current and previous Labour Governments.
