Gambling Commission Reappointments
Internal Affairs Minister Chris Tremain today announced the reappointment of two members of the Gambling Commission –
Graeme Reeves as Chief Gambling Commissioner and Paul Stanley as Gambling Commissioner. Both Commissioners’ terms are
for three years.
“The reappointments will retain valuable governance experience and skills. Mr Reeves, of Wellington, will continue to
provide his legal expertise and strategic analysis experience, while Mr Stanley, of Tauranga, will provide Māori and
health sector perspectives,” says Mr Tremain.
The Gambling Commission is an independent statutory decision-making body. The Commission hears casino licensing

to gaming machines and other non-casino gambling activities.
The other Commissioners are Russell Bell of Whanganui, Abigail Foote of Christchurch and Lisa Hansen of Wellington.
