Andrew Hoggard: Duty Minister on what a day in the role is like and what the government is working on at this time

Parliament may have closed down for the summer but that doesn’t mean the work has stopped.  MPs stand in as Duty Minister over the summer period, remaining on call and responsible for any important Government business that occurs.  The man greeting 2025 as Duty Minister is Minister for Biosecurity and Food Safety, Andrew Hoggard.  Andrew tells Tim Beveridge his new year will be business as usual, with work on issues such as the Security Act review and animal welfare regulations.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
