Caroline Flora appointed the New Chief Censor by Internal Affairs Minister Jan Tinetti in New Zealand

Caroline Flora, the next Chief Censor of Film and Literature, in a press release, was named today by Internal Affairs Minister Jan Tinetti for a three-year tenure beginning July 20.

Ms Flora is a senior government official who most recently served as Associate Deputy Director General System Strategy and Performance at the Ministry of Health and has held a variety of prominent positions at both the Ministry of Health and the New Zealand Police Force.

“Her leadership, relationship management and communication skills, as well as her senior management and legal experience in the public sector, will be of great benefit to the Classification Office,” Jan Tinetti said.
“Ms Flora will carry on the vital work of protecting New Zealanders from material likely to cause harm, while balancing the important right to freedom of expression.
“I congratulate Ms Flora on her appointment and wish her well for her three-year term,” she said.

Ms Flora takes over as Chief Censor from David Shanks, whose second tenure concluded on May 6, 2022. Rupert Ablett-Hampson, the Deputy Chief Censor, continues to perform the functions of the Chief Censor until Ms Flora’s tenure begins.

This is in accordance with the Films, Videos, and Publications Classifications Act 1993’s relevant statutory provisions (the Act).

The Office of Film and Literature Classification is an autonomous Crown Entity charged for examining and classifying publications such as films, videos, books, magazines, sound recordings, and computer files.
