About the Event

New Zealand professes an independent foreign policy. But in the wake of the Christchurch attack, questions have been asked about our intelligence agencies’ focus – why did we not see this coming? How can we prevent such blind spots in the future? And is our interest aligned & well served with current security partnerships and settings? All these questions and more will be brought up in this lively panel discussion chaired by Maty Nikkhou-O’Brien.

Speakers: 

  • Dr Paul Buchanan, Director, 36th Parallel Assessments 
  • Adrian van Hest, PwC Partner & Cyber Leader
