The Prime Minister today struggled to detail what job the new Police Minister once did for police.

Second-lowest ranking member of Cabinet, Ginny Andersen will pick up the portfolio.

Chris Hipkins told reporters today she worked for police for 10 years.

ZB's senior political correspondent Barry Soper says he's found out more from the PM's office.

"She was a policy manager at the headquarters, during the time she was a strategic advisor on Māori, Pacific and Ethnic Services with a focus on reducing Māori offending."
