Ms Prime holds the conservation and youth ministerial portfolios.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Prime&#8217;s promotion also takes M\u0101ori representation in New Zealand&#8217;s cabinet to a record of six ministers.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Hipkins, who became New Zealand&#8217;s prime minister in January, has promoted three women to the top level of government in the past three months.<\/p>\n<p>Ginny Andersen and Barbara Edmonds, both based in New Zealand capital Wellington, entered the cabinet in February.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Mr Hipkins also said that there are now more female than male ministers overall &#8211; if ministers outside the cabinet are included in the count.<\/p>\n<p>The 2020 general elections saw 58 women elected into New Zealand&#8217;s 120-strong house. About one in 10 of the country&#8217;s parliamentarians identify as LGBTQ+, while 25 are M\u0101ori people.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>BY <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-asia-65247904?xtor=AL-72-%5Bpartner%5D-%5Bbbc.news.twitter%5D-%5Bheadline%5D-%5Bnews%5D-%5Bbizdev%5D-%5Bisapi%5D&amp;at_link_origin=BBCWorld&amp;at_link_type=web_link&amp;at_format=link&amp;at_link_id=35EE3C3C-D904-11ED-B08B-AFCD4744363C&amp;at_medium=social&amp;at_bbc_team=editorial&amp;at_campaign=Social_Flow&amp;at_ptr_name=twitter&amp;at_campaign_type=owned\">BBC News<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/goodnewskhabar.com\/?p=12474\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"reverse_time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Correspondent 12 April 2023.
