He has lost the Economic Development, Sports and Recreation and Rugby World Cup portfolios, but picked up Environment, Labour and Broadcasting. His Cabinet ranking falls only three places, from seventh to 10th.Miss Clark says she had to weigh up the incident against the large contribution Mr Mallard has made to Labour, and told Checkpoint that taking on the new portfolios will be part of his rehabilitation.
Oh yes.

Wow, that's punishment. Saying he's stressed because of personal life tragedies so Helen gives him more work and keeps him in the Cabinet.
Gee, if he'd only punched Henare a week earlier, the whole deal would have blown over and he'd be sitting at number 2 and Cullen would be out on his ear.
Tough timing for Mallard. Gee, doesn't that make the blood boil? I hope I can control myself after that provocation.
