  • Was a selection panel set up to consider applicants for the role of Chair of the Maritime New Zealand Authority and if so, who was on the selection panel?

Answered by

Hon James Meager

Answer

The current Chair was appointed in 2018 by the Minister of Transport at that time. I am advised by the Ministry of Transport that the interview panel consisted of officials from the Ministry of Transport and the Acting Chair of Maritime New Zealand.
