Membership
The current Authority has a Board with up to five members. One member serves as chairperson, and the chairperson must be a Judge or a retired Judge. From its inception, the Authority was headed by High Court Judge, Lowell Goddard. In August 2010 Parliament appointed three new Board members to the Authority: Angela Hauk-Willis, a former deputy secretary of Treasury, with special responsibility for corporate governance, Maori responsiveness, and ethics and integrity; Dianne Macaskill chief executive and Chief Archivist at Archives New Zealand from 2001 to 2009; and Richard Woods, who from 1999 to 2006, was the director of the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service, and from 2008 was chairperson of the Environmental Risk Management Authority.
In April 2012, Judge Sir David Carruthers, former chairman of the New Zealand Parole Board, was appointed Chair of the Independent Police Conduct Authority for a term of five years.

“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
