Kerin made a major reshuffle of the ministry on 4 December 2001, following the resignations of a number of ministers. Trevor Griffin and Robert Lawson left the ministry, while two new members were added to cabinet, Caroline Schaefer and Martin Hamilton-Smith. This allowed him to reshape his ministry in the lead up to the 2002 Election.
