Hon. Shane Jones, Minister for Oceans and Fisheries, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Resources, Associate Minister of Finance and Associate Minister for Energy is not your average politician, nor is this your average political lunch.
Minister Jones is bold, unapologetically outspoken, and one of the most engaging political personalities in Aotearoa. Known for his strong views on economic development, infrastructure, energy, and regional resilience, Minister Jones brings both provocation and insight—and always delivers with flair.
The eponymous Matua has lent his name to this lunch in a testament to the tenor of this event. Expect an honest and insightful discussion on politics and the New Zealand economy – in an articulate and open forum.
This is one of our year’s most anticipated events - brought to you by the ‘Power of 3’: The historic partnership between the Wellington Chamber of Commerce, Te Awe Māori Business Network and The Wellington Pasifika Business Network, as well as principal sponsor Pacific Business Network.
Minister Jones’ portfolios are central to the growth agenda of the Government and are at the coalface of significant regulatory shifts – this event will combine wit and policy to make sure you are informed.
This is a must-attend event for leaders, decision-makers and the politically engaged. This event will sell out fast, so get your tickets before they’re gone.
