Incoming Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has announced the full line-up of his team for the next New Zealand Government.

NZ First leader Winston Peters and ACT's David Seymour will share the deputy Prime Ministership - something that has never been done before. The former will step into the role for the first half of the three-year term and the latter for the second half.

Peters has also been named Foreign Affairs Minister, while former National leader Judith Collins has been given the Attorney General role.

Luxon, in addition to Prime Minister, will take the Security and Intelligence and Ministerial Services portfolios.

Seymour will be the Minister for Regulation and the Associate Minister of Education, Finance and Health.
