John Key said Ms Bennett is likely to move into a financial role, but this might not be happen immediately.

Mr Key said Ms Bennett is held in high regard and represents the modern face of the National Party.

“We have a lot of faith in Paula, we think she's has a pretty bright future with the party, and she’s keen to, I think, widen out her cabinet experience and demonstrate she’s got skills in other areas.”
