Bennett fronts National's new drug shadow portfolio

Battle lines are being drawn on the matter of drug reform, as the National Party appoints its second most senior politician as spokeperson on the matter. A minor re-shuffle has seen National's deputy leader Paula Bennett move into the role. The Health Minister David Clark says he's happy to see National taking the matter seriously, while the Greens' drug reform spokesperson Chloe Swarbrick wants an immediate public debate.
