As Australia and New Zealand navigate an increasingly complex and contested security environment, the role of national law enforcement leadership has moved to the forefront of protecting not only public safety, but broader national resilience and economic stability. As part of the Trans-Tasman Government Series, we bring together Krissy Barrett, Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police, and Richard Chambers, Commissioner of New Zealand Police, for a rare, live cross-border leadership dialogue. Convened simultaneously across Canberra and Wellington, this highly curated session will connect senior leaders from government and the private sector in a single, shared trans-Tasman conversation — reflecting the depth of the relationship between our two nations and the increasing importance of coordinated leadership in responding to evolving threats. The conversation will explore the shifting threat landscape, the growing convergence between security and economic priorities, and the critical role of cross-border collaboration in addressing emerging and systemic risks.
