National's not announcing any changes to the team - as parties tee-up political campaigns

The Prime Minister's confirmed a November 7 date for this year's general election - speaking from National's annual caucus retreat in Christchurch.

Chris Luxon says any members retiring will announce it themself - and he doesn't feel compelled to reshuffle for the sake of it.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins has confirmed some reshuffling - with Duncan Webb and Adrian Rurawhe retiring but says it won't be wholesale - but pieces will move around.

Labour's Greg O'Connor has indicated he would be keen to be Speaker.
