Hidden Talents: Alan Bollard

From Afternoons, 2:22 pm on 13 March 2017

This afternoon we explore the hidden talent of one of our highest profile public servants.  Though no longer living in New Zealand, he still has this country's interests at heart in his current job as Executive Director of The Asia Pacific Economic Coorperation (APEC).  His re-appointment for a second term at the top of the 21 nation forum will see him stay on in Asia until the end of 2018.  It's the first time anyone in this position has had their appointment extended.  Dr Bollard talks to Jesse about his other talent, painting with water colours.
