Today CPD is delighted to announce that Terry Moran AC will become our new Chairperson.
Terry brings unrivalled depth of experience in making long-term public policy for Australia. His record speaks for itself – not least his time as Secretary of the Commonwealth Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet from 2008 to 2011. Terry will be the second former PM&C Secretary to lead our board, following CPD’s founder and inaugural chair John Menadue.
Media coverage
Terry spoke with the Australian Financial Review’s Political Editor Laura Tingle about the importance of long-term policy development and his ambitions for CPD: Terry Moran’s insider view of how governments stuff things up.
His appointment was also covered in The Mandarin: Moran sticks with policy, joins CPD.
Terry discussed his appointment on RN’s Late Night Live with Phillip Adams, and was interviewed by Geraldine Doogue on Radio National on 2 April.
Terry has followed CPD’s activities with great interest over several years. He is motivated by the challenge of helping CPD to expand its policy expertise and influence, working alongside CPD’s core team and the talented and passionate members of our Board, Research Committee and Fellowship.
“I am delighted to join CPD when the need for a thoughtful focus on Australia’s long term future and our evolving national interest is greater than ever.”
“CPD fills a vital space in Australian policy life, demonstrated by the success of its Asia Dialogue on Forced Migration and its recent work on public sector capability and climate security. I want to help CPD continue to grow and share my experience in policy development with CPD’s foresight on the key policy challenges of this century. These include ensuring effective government, expanding opportunity and social justice, building a sustainable economy, and embracing Australia’s role in the Asia.” Terry Moran AC
