Christine Rankin

Christine Rankin is a prominent figure in New Zealand public life, known for her leadership roles including as the head of the Ministry of Work and Income in the late 1990s. Following a controversial departure from that position, Rankin has continued to influence the community as the CEO of a Taupō hospice. Recently, she faced a major setback when it was revealed that a manager at the hospice, Mark Wisniewski, had embezzled a significant amount of money over several years, which she described as a personal betrayal and a blow to the charity's mission.
