She was the Minister of Broadcasting, Communications, and Digital Media and Associate Minister for the Accident Compensation Corporation in the current Labour-led coalition government.[2] Early life and educationCurran grew up and was educated in Dunedin; she attended Moreau College where she achieved School Certificate. She has a BA double major in Anthropology and History from the University of Otago, and BA Honours in Anthropology from Victoria University of Wellington.[3]{{Better source|date=November 2018}} CareerCurran worked in communications for Australian unions over a number of years before returning to New Zealand in 2002 with her young family. She continued to work in public relations in Dunedin.[3][better source needed] Curran joined the New Zealand Labour Party in 2006. She quickly rose to prominence within the Otago-Southland hierarchy, becoming a member of the Council of the New Zealand Labour Party.[4] In 2006 Curran presented a paper to the Otago-Southland region of the Labour Party on "capturing the language" on climate change policy.[5] In May 2006 Curran was appointed to a contractual role within the Ministry for the Environment following a recommendation from Environment Minister David Parker's office to provide communications advice on the Government's climate change strategy. This appointment was the subject of an investigation by the State Services Commission into the appropriateness of Curran's engagement.[6] The report found that the Ministry had failed to adequately identify Curran's conflict of interest with respect to her relationship with Minister Parker.[7] The report found that a staff member in Parker's office had described Curran as Parker's "right-hand woman" and in an email to Environment Ministry Chief Executive Hugh Logan, and recommended that Curran meet with Logan to discuss communications. Logan resigned as Chief Executive of the Ministry hours before the State Services Commission's report into the Curran affair was released. She is currently a member of many unions and political groups. She is a member of the Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union and the Service & Food Workers Union. She is also a member of Greenpeace. She was also on the Council of the New Zealand Labour Party as Otago-Southland regional representative.[8] Parliamentary career{{NZ parlbox header|align=left}}{{NZ parlbox|term=49th|start={{NZ election link year|2008}}|end=2011|electorate=Dunedin South|party=New Zealand Labour Party|list=45}}{{NZ parlbox|term=50th|start={{NZ election link year|2011}}|end=2014|electorate=Dunedin South|party=New Zealand Labour Party|list=28}}{{NZ parlbox|term=51st|start={{NZ election link year|2014}}|end=2017|electorate=Dunedin South|list=none|party=New Zealand Labour Party}}{{NZ parlbox|term=52nd|start={{NZ election link year|2017}}|end=present|electorate=Dunedin South|list=23|party=New Zealand Labour Party}}{{NZ parlbox footer}}Fifth National Government, 2008–2017In 2007, Curran launched a bid to unseat sitting MP David Benson-Pope as the Labour Party candidate for Dunedin South.[9][10] Curran won the selection contest ahead of Benson-Pope and the Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union's Don Pryde.[11] Curran won the 2008 election against National's Conway Powell.[12] However, in 2011, National Party candidate, Jo Hayes, reduced Curran's majority from 6449 in 2008[13] to 4175 in 2011,[14] and National gained a majority of the party vote in Dunedin South by 1837 votes.[14] In the {{NZ election link|2014}}, Curran was successful against National's Hamish Walker.[15] In the 49th New Zealand Parliament, she was a member of the Commerce Committee, and was the Labour spokesperson for Communications and Information Technology. While in Opposition, Curran spoke out against the closure of public broadcaster TVNZ 7,[16] the Government's controversial move to include software in the Patents Bill,[17] KiwiRail job losses,[18] TV coverage of the Paralympics,[19] and the lack of a telecommunications watchdog in New Zealand.[20] Labour Coalition Government, 2017–presentCurran was elected as a Cabinet Minister by the Labour Party caucus following Labour's formation of a coalition government with New Zealand First and the Greens.[21] On 26 October, Curran assumed the portfolios of Minister of Broadcasting, Communications, and Digital Media and Minister for Government Digital Services. In addition, Curran was also allocated the associate portfolios for the Accident Compensation Corporation and the State Services Commission.[2] In November at 2017 NetHui Curran publicly proposed as part of her 100-day plan the formation of a chief technology officer (CTO) role for Government of New Zealand.[22] As of February 2018, no CTO had been selected despite over 60 candidates expressing interest in the role. Curran commented that "after careful consideration she had decided not to make an appointment at this stage and the search for a suitable candidate would be widened."[23] In late March 2018, Curran became the subject of media attention after it emerged that she had secretly met with Radio New Zealand broadcaster and senior manager Carol Hirschfeld on 5 December 2017 outside of parliamentary business. Curran initially claimed the meeting was coincidental but later admitted it had been pre-arranged. These revelations led to Hirschfeld's resignation from her position as senior manager at Radio NZ. The meeting was related to the Labour-led government's plans to expand public broadcasting through Radio New Zealand. Curran's actions drew criticism from the National Party's broadcasting spokesperson Melissa Lee, who accused Curran of engaging in a cover-up.[24][25] On 24 August 2018, Prime Minister Ardern dismissed Curran from the Cabinet after Curran acknowledged that she had kept a second meeting off the records. In February, Curran had met with tech entrepreneur Derek Handley at her Beehive office to discuss his interest in the vacant Chief Technology Officer role. Curran had failed to disclose the meeting in her ministerial diary and to inform staff or officials about it. Curran apologized to the Prime Minister for her actions and also resigned from her positions as Minister of Government Digital Services and Minister of Open Government. Curran kept her Broadcasting, Communications and Digital Media and associate ACC portfolios.[26][27][28] On 5 September 2018, Curran "appeared flustered" and "stumbled over her answers" when answering questions during question time from opposition National MP Melissa Lee regarding Curran's use of a personal Gmail account for Ministerial use.[29] Two days later Curran resigned as a Minister of Broadcasting and Associate Minister of ACC, saying she could "no longer endure the relentless pressure I've been under".[30] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.parliament.nz/en-NZ/PB/Debates/Debates/5/c/4/49HansD_20081208_00000010-Members-Sworn.htm|title=New Zealand Hansard -
