The Shadow Cabinet of Judith Collins formed the official Opposition in the 53rd New Zealand Parliament, and previously in the 52nd Parliament. It comprised the members of the New Zealand National Party, which is the largest party not a member of the Government. On Collins' dismissal as leader on 25 November 2021, the cabinet essentially ceased to exist, but what remained was de jure led on an interim basis by her deputy leader, Shane Reti, until the next leadership election. The cabinet was succeeded by that of Christopher Luxon.
Collins came to power after the resignation of Todd Muller on 14 July 2020.[1][2] She led the party into the 2020 New Zealand general election and was reconfirmed as leader after the election on 6 November 2020. Following a reduction in the National Party's parliamentary membership as a result of the election, the second iteration of Collins' shadow Cabinet was announced on 11 November 2020.
