    She is the party's first female leader since Jenny Shipley departed in 2001.

    Collins held a number of portfolios under the John Key/Bill English Government - including Corrections, Police, Justice, Revenue and Energy and Resources.

    She just released a memoir, Pull No Punches, detailing her time as minister.
