Former Health Minister Jonathan Coleman claims it would be a risky move to give Labour MP Peeni Henare the role of Health Minister.
Henare has openly told people he's keen for the role.
Coleman says if he were Jacinda Ardern - he wouldn't give the job to Henare.
He says Ardern will see a lot of Henare behind the scenes, which we don't see.
He says Henare is a confident and smart minister, who will be looking to gain some leverage.
Coleman says there is a risk if Henare takes the role but it could also boost his political career if all goes well, just like former Health Minister Tony Ryall.
