Public management reforms in Australia and New Zealand: A pot-pourri overview of the past decade Steane, P 2008, 'Public management reforms in Australia and New Zealand: A pot-pourri overview of the past decade', Public Management Review, vol. 10, no. 4, pp. 453-465. Document type: Journal Article Collection: Journal Articles Title Public management reforms in Australia and New Zealand: A pot-pourri overview of the past decade Author(s) Steane, P Year 2008 Journal name Public Management Review Volume number 10 Issue number 4 Start page 453 End page 465 Total pages 13 Publisher Routledge Abstract The public management reforms in Australia and New Zealand have been proactive in engaging other organisations in developing partnerships and new governance structures, requiring heightened skills in the preparation stage of due diligence and effective regulatory processes to balance divergent interests. There are increasingly blurred boundaries across sectors with both private and charitable agencies providing services for the public good. The pattern of Commonwealth and state relations over the past decade has been centralist, but likely to change with the Labor's renewed sense of civic democracy. The regional contribution of both Australia and New Zealand is more focused and advances policy and implementation in areas as diverse as: security, governance, democratic engagement and climate change. Broader management skills are brought to policy formulation and implementation with lateral movement of employment across sectors, suggesting a new class of public administrator in the future.
