Playing the Long Game: David Cunliffe

New Zealand's biggest challenges- climate change, housing, infrastructure, an ageing population, and fiscal sustainability- all demand thinking in decades, not electoral cycles. Yet our political system is increasingly focused on the short term.

Our next guest is Hon David Cunliffe, a former leader of the Labour Party, a former Minister of Health and the Chair of the Aged Care Ministerial Advisory Group. David's high-level experience as a politician, diplomat, corporate and community consultant and government strategist gives him deep insight into how policy is made in New Zealand.

Playing the Long Game is a new webinar series from the Helen Clark Foundation bringing together some of New Zealand's most experienced political, economic, and public-sector leaders to ask: how do we build policy that lasts?

Join Foundation director Murray Bruges for the next conversation in our series on how to get more long-term thinking and action into New Zealand’s politics and public policy.
