NZ Honorary Advisers
Hon Lianne Dalziel
CNZM
Lianne Dalziel stepped down from political life in 2022 after three terms as Mayor of Ōtautahi Christchurch and 23 years in the New Zealand Parliament.
She has recently been undertaking post-graduate studies after having graduated in law from Canterbury University 40 years ago.
Having represented an electorate that was hard hit by the 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence, Lianne has become a respected champion of resilience with a strong understanding of post-disaster challenges and opportunities.
Lianne has enjoyed being an Honorary Advisor to the Asia New Zealand Foundation Te Whītau Tūhono, it having been established when she was a member of Parliament.
As a Cabinet Minister and Mayor, she has had a lot to do with the Foundation over the years, and continues to enjoy strong relationships with Asian communities.
