Biography

Early career

In 1968 Shand was working as a senior investigating officer for the New Zealand Treasury. In 1968 he was seconded to Victoria University to become a lecturer in government finance.[2] He was also a member of the University Council (1968–69) and chairman of the Wellington Government Accountants Society.[3]

Political career

In 1971 Shand won a seat on the Wellington City Council on a Labour ticket which he was to hold until 1977.[4] He was also a member of the Wellington Regional Planning Authority. Wellington Mayor Sir Michael Fowler later described Shand as an "extremely good" councillor.[5]

Shand stood for election to the New Zealand House of Representatives for the Labour Party in two consecutive elections. He stood in {{NZ electorate link|Wellington Central}} in both {{NZ election link year|1972}} and {{NZ election link year|1975}}. He came in second place on both occasions.{{sfn|Norton|1988|p=387}} Shand won the seat on election night in 1972 but ultimately lost by only 27 votes after special votes were counted. As a result of his provisional lead he attended the first Labour caucus after the 1972 election and was able to cast votes in the election of cabinet.{{sfn|Bassett|1976|pp=11, 17}} He later contemplated standing in the seat of {{NZ electorate link|Heretaunga}} in the {{NZ election link year|1981}} general election.[6]

Later activities

Shand left New Zealand in 1977 and moved to Australia where he taught at the Australian National University. He left academia in 1981 and took up senior positions in the Australian Department of Finance, the Queensland Public Sector Management Commission and the Victorian Treasury. In 1986 he was appointed as the head of New Zealand's Government Financial Support Service.[7] He subsequently worked on public financial management in three international organizations - OECD (Paris), IMF and World Bank (Washington DC) before retiring to New Zealand in 2006. Shand later became a member of the Royal Commission on Auckland Governance, having previously served as chair of the Local Government Rates Inquiry and also as chair of the Tertiary Education Commission.[8] In 2006 he was appointed by the government to the board of Meridian Energy, remaining there until 2009.[9]
