The American President's doing a live presser today on his war. 

The Australian Prime Minister's just wrapped a live address to the nation on the oil shock.

And here, our Prime Minister is making his own announcement about a cabinet reshuffle. 

It's a bit of an odd time to do it. 

He's got Reti and Collins leaving, so he had to do it some point. The day before Easter Friday means he wants to spray and walk away for the weekend. 

The good news is there's plenty of talent to promote - the likes of James Meager and Chris Penk.

Which is a contrast to the Opposition where the pool is quite shallow. Water comes up to your ankles.

For Luxon, getting the right team around him is not just important for running the country, it's his entire election strategy.

His pitch to voters is basically that he's the HR department. He prides himself on putting the right man in the right job. 

The fact he's doing it today also suggests that he's not listening to the press gallery, who criticised him for opening Christchurch's new stadium while Nicola Willis was left to front oil crisis stand ups and pressers. 

This is not necessarily a bad thing.

He's doing other stuff. Like reshuffles, thank you very much.
