official launch of the new Integrity Sports and Recreation Commission,
and heading that commission is a name that you'll be
familiar with, the New Zealand Sport Rebecca Rolls, a new
CEO of the Commission. Rebecca joins us this morning. Rebecca.
(00:26):
First off, congratulations, oh thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Mon tell us a.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Little bit about well, the Integrity Sports and Recreation Commission.
First off, sure, so this.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I mean, this is a piece of work that's come
out of several years of reviews and working groups and
that sort of thing, and really in the last couple
of years my job has been leaving a team to
set it up following some cabinet decisions. And what it
will do is carry on the really really good work
of drug Free Sport New Zealand, who now are part
of the Commission so they cease to exist on their
(00:58):
own and then it will all so take on the
responsibility of educating and uplifting capability in the sector, as
well as managing complaints and mediation and resolution. Services and investigation.
So really just pulling to get a lot of the
good work that's already happening in the sector into one
place and then making sure that it fits a purpose
for the future as well, and start looking at some
(01:20):
of those more gnarly things like competition manipulation.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Have we had anything like this in New Zealand in
the past.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
No, it's been dispersed around. So as I mentioned, drug
Free Sport has been around in one form or another
since the nineties when they moved out of the New
Zealand Olympic Committee and Sport New Zealand have done a
good job as a katiarchy in the system to support
the capability, particularly in the last few years. But really
this is the first, yeah, I guess, in New Zealand's history,
the first organization that seeks to bring all of that
(01:50):
together into one place. So some other jurisdictions have done overseas,
but for New Zealander.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So I guess your role now is to what build
the commission t Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I mean, I'm lucky enough that the legislation we're operating
under sets out that drug free Sports staff come over.
So I've got for twenty four really good performing people
who already know what they're doing around antidoping, and obviously
it'd be important to make sure that delivery continues. But yeah,
absolutely make sure that the staff is set up to
succeed in terms of delivering on those education and capability
(02:24):
building and dispute resolution services. And we'll be starting life
with bringing over the Sport and Recreation Complaints and mediation
service that's supporting Ler and running sort of throw an
external provider so they'll come and join us and again
just bring it all together and hoping over the first
a little while to build the team and start really
(02:45):
making a difference.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Any what are your priorities to start off with, do
you have any?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Absolutely so we it's the Commission's job to issue a
code integrity code for Sport and Recreation, which will be
secondary legislation and that will actually sit in the standards
for the sector and the standards that they need to
reach in order to be able to Yeah, just make
sure that you know, ever makes behavioral expectations. It sets
out how people can adopt the code and how what
(03:11):
happens if there's a breach of the code and becomes
kind of a corner zone of the sector. To sort
of set out those wolves and I guess what people
can expect when things go wrong. So that is a
really early priority for us. We're looking to get that
out and draft form for people to have a look
at sometime probably well definitely between now and Christmas. We'd
love to get it finalized by Christmas, but just working
(03:33):
in and around Olympics and making sure we've got clients
people to give feedback so that we can get that
it's quite the perfect as possible.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Who do you answer to and governed? Is it the
Ministry of Sport?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah? Ultimately, I mean the Commission is an independent crown
need toy, so that's kind of as far away from
the government as you can get but still be part
of the government. And we ultimately report to a board
of nine people that were appointed kind of late in May.
So yeah, it's been a bit of a rush to
get things through so I've been in place, but ultimately
that who we report to, and it's important that we
(04:03):
have that independence piece from the government.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I suppose looking at your background, I mean you were
successful as both a cricketer and a footballer, and then
you moved on you worked for the police as well.
Serious fraud Office. So it sets you up nicely in
a way, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, Like I think I'm like a lot of kiwis
that you know, you grow up and outsiad or playing
as many things as you can and getting involved in
as much as you can. And that's recreation as well,
whether it be fishing or tramping or something like that.
So yeah, I mean I've been really lucky with the
experiences I've had and in some ways with the career
experience as well through sort of investigation and integrity matters.
And yeah, not surprising that those things combined into a
(04:39):
role that allows me the privilege of trying to make
those experiences good for other people from New Zealand as well.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Fantastic, well again day one. Congratulations the new Integrity Sports
and Recreation Commission that the CEO, I guess you could say, Rebecca,
thanks for joining us.
