During this period, the portfolio was serviced by the Department of Internal Affairs. A separate portfolio, Minister responsible for the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, was established in 1987. This was held first by Jonathan Hunt (24 August 1987—9 February 1990) and subsequently by Margaret Austin (also the Minister for Arts and Culture; 9 February 1990—2 November 1990) before being subsumed back into the responsibilities of the Minister for Arts and Culture. A standalone agency, the Ministry for Cultural Affairs, was established by the Fourth National Government
