Had an interesting meeting with a fellow Director of Communications yesterday - but this guy was from the Government of New Zealand. It’s always useful to compare how the communications function is managed in sister parliamentary systems - and often somewhat startling that the function can evolve in very different ways.

Midway through our conversation, I noticed that his Moleskine notebook had an embossed insignia on the back. Turns out Air New Zealand gives out custom notebooks to frequent fliers of a sort.

Sniff.
