Abstract
In October, the Ministry of Culture and Heritage and IPANZ jointly hosted a series of seminars to commemorate the Public Service Act 1912. Dr John E Martin, Parliamentary Historian, began the series with an account of what led to the birth of the modern public service. John R Martin, IPANZ Fellow, then recalled the journey of the public service between 1920 and the State Sector Act 1988. Professor Jonathan Boston, School of Government, Victoria University of Wellington, recounted the tumultuous 1980s and the revolutionary changes made to the public service during that decade. And, in the final seminar, Professor Peter Hughes, School of Government, Victoria University of Wellington, discussed the public service of today and what the public service of tomorrow may look like. In this issue of 'Public Sector' we feature highlights from Dr John E Martin and John R Martin's presentations.
