David Cunliffe’s community activities
Some questions have been raised by media in relation to the community activities section of David Cunliffe’s curriculum
vitae.
David Cunliffe was a member of the PSA from 1987-1990 when he worked for MFAT. During part of this time he served as a
PSA delegate and co-convenor.
Mr Cunliffe was a member of Waitakere Forest & Bird in his early time as an MP. That membership has since lapsed and has not been represented as a current activity.
Some confusion has arisen over Mr Cunliffe’s voluntary work for church charity organisations. He volunteered as a budget
advisor for the Wellington Inner City Ministry, which was a co-operative venture involving St Peter’s Church on Willis
Street, when he attended the church during the 1987-1990 period.
David Cunliffe has volunteered delivering food parcels to the Auckland City Mission as a member of St Matthew’s in the
City. He has not volunteered directly for Auckland City Mission.
