Government Representation

Submissions to Parliament and Government Agencies

The Government Relations team within the Association are responsible for the liaison between the retail industry and Government and related administrative agencies on a wide range of issues likely to affect the retail industry in New Zealand.

This involves:

• regular meetings with Government Ministers, opposition spokespeople and senior officials from a broad spectrum of Government Agencies;
• preparation of submissions and appearances before Parliamentary Select Committees;
• regular interviews with the news media, including print, radio and television;
• representation of the interests of the retail industry on various government Committees and Working Parties.
