Contributors SUE MORONEY – PAID PARENTAL LEAVE Sue Moroney was first elected to parliament in 2005 and is a Hamilton-based Labour List MP. Her portfolios are women's affairs and early childhood education. She is passionate about making a difference to ordinary Kiwi families by investing in the early years, giving children a good start in a secure caring environment to generate benefits through the rest of a child's life. Prior to her parliamentary career, she was involved in campaigns such as keeping the Waikato Plunket family centre open against health cuts in the 1990s and protecting and improving low-paid workers' wages. Sue has worked as a self-employed trainer of health and safety representatives, NZ Nurses' Organisation union organiser and educator, Trade Union Education Authority regional educator and NZ Equine Workers' Union national secretary and journalist and editor for community newspapers. She is married to Shane and has two sons. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with family, watching her sons play basketball, and horse-racing. p.46 p.20 LORRAINE LORD – ON THE MONEY Lorraine is passionate about helping people to be the best they can be. She favours collaborative relationships, so finds franchising a natural fit. She spent ten years with an award-winning franchise in London, helping franchisees to open their new businesses and providing on-going franchise support, then as national training manager, followed by two years running a franchised outlet. She arrived in New Zealand after a year's backpacking honeymoon with husband Simon and in 1992 the couple founded Franchise New Zealand magazine and website, NZ's premier source of information and advice about franchising. Lorraine started working from home when their son was just 21 months and their daughter six weeks old. A member of the Baha'i faith, Lorraine appreciates the co-operative nature of owning a small business and has always tried to ensure that their team has the flexibility to be there for their families, too.

Cliff Salter p.68 I liken the sales retail drop that occurs during June and July in NZ to the birth of my children. I distinctly remember being pregnant with Edward, my second child and thinking 'this child birth thing isn't hard'. I can't even remember being in much pain. Yep, I'd decided delivery really was a walk in the park… not! Annah Stretton p.42 "Making up 97 percent of all New Zealand businesses and employing close to one third of our workforce, SMEs are the backbone of New Zealand's economy. The SME wish list is pretty clear: access to capital, talent and clearing away some of the regulatory labyrinth, and for some, the cherry on the top would be help breaking into offshore markets. Satisfying that wish list so that SMEs can survive and thrive as the country's financial engine should be at the top of our national to do list." Sacha McMeeking, p.50 www.hermagazine.co.nz | 5
