Warkworth politician Tracey Martin has stepped up the political ladder to become a cabinet minister in the new Labour-NZ First-Greens Coalition Government.

Her new responsibilities have both ends of the age spectrum covered: after being sworn in on October 25, she is the Minister for Children, Minister for Internal Affairs and Minister for Seniors, as well as the Associate Minister for Education.

Tracey is a NZ First list MP who entered Parliament in 2011.

She says she is both honoured and humbled by her appointments, and appreciates the importance of her new roles.
