New National Party Leader Christopher Luxon has named leadership rival Simon Bridges as the party's Finance and Infrastructure spokesman. Previous Leader Judith Collins had Michael Woodhouse as Finance Spokesperson and Andrew Bayly as Shadow Treasurer since last year's election. Prior to the election, Paul Goldsmith was National's Finance Spokesman. “Simon has prodigious skills, incredible talent and the intellectual heft needed to excel as National’s Finance spokesperson. Simon will play a central and critical role in our leadership team, and he and I will work closely together," says Luxon.
