{"product_id":"bill-birch-minister-of-everything","title":"Bill Birch: Minister Of Everything - Brad Tattersfield","description":"Bill Birch was the quiet achiever of New Zealand politics. A trusted lieutenant to Prime Ministers Muldoon, Bolger and Shipley, Birch was at the heart of the action across a turbulent quarter-century of political and social change. From Think Big and the Employment Contracts Act to overhauls of immigration, health, ACC, fiscal management, industry training, electricity markets and producer boards, Birch managed controversial, risky reforms, and much of what he achieved endures today.\u003cdiv class=\"book-info product-description\"\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"field-label\"\u003eAuthor description\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrad Tattersfield is a Wellington-based communications consultant and former journalist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrad began his career as a reporter on the Christchurch Press, then moved to the Melbourne Sun (now Herald-Sun) and agency reporting in London before returning to NZ to work in the Parliamentary Press Gallery for the National Business Review.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1991 he became press secretary for ministers Wyatt Creech and, later, Bill Birch before leaving Parliament in 1995 to join a PR consultancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe was communications manager with the APEC 99 Task Force for that Auckland gathering of international leaders, including US President Bill Clinton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom 2000-2002 he worked as a publicist at the NZ embassy in Tokyo, then returned to NZ as communications manager for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 2007 he has run his own communications consultancy, with a wide range of public and private sector clients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-content product-stock-information-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"minimal-field-header\"\u003eGeneral Fields\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"stock-info\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"field-label\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/label\u003e :\n\t  \u003cspan class=\"'barcode_for_1801562'\"\u003e\n9780473501976\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"field-label\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/label\u003e :\n\t  \u003cspan\u003e\nMary Egan Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"field-label\"\u003eImprint\u003c\/label\u003e :\n\t  \u003cspan\u003e\nMary Egan Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"field-label\"\u003ePublication date\u003c\/label\u003e :\n\t  \u003cspan\u003e\nMay 2020\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"field-label\"\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/label\u003e : books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"minimal-field-header\"\u003eSpecial Fields\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"stock-info\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"field-label\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/label\u003e : Brad Tattersfield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"field-label\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/label\u003e : Brad Tattersfield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"field-label\"\u003ePages\u003c\/label\u003e : 324\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"field-label\"\u003ePages\u003c\/label\u003e : 324\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"field-label\"\u003eBind\u003c\/label\u003e : Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"field-label\"\u003eBind\u003c\/label\u003e : Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"clearfix\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Publishers Dist.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42095568945389,"sku":"9780473501976","price":40.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0541\/2565\/8281\/products\/bill-birch-minister-of-everything.jpg?v=1642249499","url":"https:\/\/marstonmoor.co.nz\/products\/bill-birch-minister-of-everything","provider":"Marston Moor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
