On the 7th of August Dr Amohia Boulton participated in a panel of academics and practitioners to discuss how successful public policy may be achieved. Facilitated by political journalist Colin James, other panellists included Professor Michael Mintrom (Monash University), Dr Verna Smith (School of Government, VUW), and Fiona Ross (Director Joint Venture Family Violence and Sexual Violence, Ministry of Justice).
The panel was organised, and hosted by, the Australia New Zealand School of Government to recognise the publication of the book Successful Public Policy: Lessons from Australia and New Zealand. The book is a collection of public policy case studies from New Zealand and Australia designed to prompt academics and policy makers to consider successful examples of public policy making and what we can learn from past and present successes. The book includes a chapter on Whānau Ora, co-authored by Dr Boulton with colleagues from the School of Government and the Health Services research Centre at Victoria University of Wellington, and a doctoral student from the University of Auckland.
Later that same day, Dr Boulton joined colleagues at the official New Zealand launch of the book. Diane Owenga of Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet and political scientist Jon Johansson, the Chief of Staff for NZ First spoke at the launch summarising the key messages of the text, and outlining their thoughts on regarding successful public policy.
