Thank you very much for your kind invitation today, I am pleased to be invited to your Council meeting.

This Service Centre is a trailblazer, providing a template for how other justice services could be delivered in New Zealand.

Courthouses are recognised within the community as symbols of civic duty, and the newly refurbished courthouse in Taupo is a fine example of this sentiment.

Tribunals play a vital role in the delivery of justice and account for a large amount of the contact the public has with the justice system.

Address to the Royal New Zealand Returned and Services Association’s Annual Executive Council Meeting. The Michael Fowler Centre, Wellington.

We need to understand the environment, assess the risks, and plan for the inevitable. Good working relationships are critical in all phases of this process, and I see this Forum as contributing to the building of such relationships, and of a cohesive CDEM sector.
