The Green Party has announced the four people who will get government roles in the new administration.

They are its leader James Shaw, transport spokesperson Julie-Anne Genter, environment spokesperson Eugenie Sage and social development spokesperson Jan Logie.

Three will be ministers outside cabinet and one will be a parliamentary under-secretary.

Mr Shaw said portfolio responsibilities would be announced later, but that the MPs would have responsibility in areas the party has campaigned on.

"The Green Party's ministers will work hard alongside our team and the rest of the Labour-led government to ensure we make a positive contribution to the lives of New Zealanders by addressing our priority areas of climate change, clean water, and ending poverty," said Mr Shaw.

Gareth Hughes will be the party's chief musterer, the equivalent of a whip in other parties, with Marama Davidson as his deputy.

Yesterday, incoming Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern released the list of Labour MPs who will take up ministerial roles. The portfolios they will hold will be announced on Wednesday.
