Hi Chris. I am an avid supporter as you know. you have the knowledge and experience more
than anyone else in this country to lead us through our very challenging times. I would like
to talk to you about the small advanced nation opportunities we must grapes, as one who is
seeing the offshore pull on many of very smart innovators we work with. Is there a time when
I can catch up with you? I feel we are at a strategic tipping point and I’m not sure if many see
the that as you do. Best regards and keep up the very important work you’re doing.
Jonathan.

Morning Christopher - Hope all is going well! Just thought I would let you know what I’m

advisory, and I’m heading up their Local Government practice.

Awesome and congratulations on making the transition to post political life so well!
Definitely reach out to Watts and Bishop too to let them know what you’re up to. There’s
going to be a bit going down in LG space that I’m sure your perspective would be useful on.
Best, CML

wife to a post CoP30 dinner with our rangatahi roopu that attended CoP30 in Brasil this year.
I know your schedule may not allow this but if you are we would be honoured to have you
both with us as we celebrate the success of this haerenga and how proud you would be of
this rangaTIRA roopu that made a huge impact on the global stage with climate change
solutions. Heoi, kei a koe te mana. Nga mihi nui
