멜리사 리, 국민당 서열 19위로 뛰어올라
국민당의 사이먼 브리지스 대표가 11일 국민당의 그림자 내각 명단을 발표했다.
이번 그림자 내각에서 한인 멜리사 리 의원은 당 서열 19위로 뛰어 올랐다.
리 의원은 빌 잉글리시 전 대표가 이끄는 그림자 내각에서는 당 서열이 31위였다.
단숨에 12계단이나 뛰어오른 셈이다.
리 의원이 맡은 소관 분야와 직책은 방송통신디지털미디어와 소수민족 문제 대변인으로 지난 번과 똑 같다.
의원 내각제를 채택하고 있는 뉴질랜드에서 제1야당의 그림자 내각은 각 정부 부처에 대응하는 대변인들로 구성되는 데 대변인들은 소관 분야의 당 정책을 총괄하다가 집권하면 그 부처 장관을 맡는 게 보통이다.
아시아계 의원들 중에서는 인도계 칸왈지트 싱 박시 의원이 30위로 지난 번과 똑 같고 중국계인 지안 양 의원은 36위에서 35위로 한 계단 올라섰다.
당 서열 5위 안에는 여성이 3명, 20위 안에는 8명이 포함됐다.
