New Zealand political leader Mike Moore assembled a shadow cabinet system amongst the Labour caucus following his change of position to Leader of the Opposition in 1990. He composed this of individuals who acted for the party as spokespeople in assigned roles while he was the leader (1990–93).
As the Labour Party formed the largest party not in government, the frontbench team was as a result the Official Opposition of the New Zealand House of Representatives.

Frontbench teams When Labour held their first post-election caucus the results of several seats were still subject to recounts thusly portfolios were not allocated until the membership of the caucus was confirmed. The meeting elected Jonathan Hunt and Elizabeth Tennet as whips and Jack Elder as caucus secretary.
