Summary

 The Modern Regulator Podcast is for regulators and regulatory-adjacent professionals who care about how regulation actually works in practice: stewardship, capability, posture, enforcement, and the decisions that do not always make it into policy documents or academic papers. Hosted by Paul Leavoy and Simon Corden, each episode features a practitioner or thinker with something substantive to say about the craft of regulation. Our focus is on Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada, and other stable democracies where the quality of regulatory practice shapes the quality of public life. The Modern Regulator Podcast is part of The Modern Regulator, a vendor-neutral publication for the regulatory community.

    Regulation as a craft: Keith Manch on building a profession
    May 5 2026

    Keith Manch has spent nearly five decades regulating almost every major domain of New Zealand public life, from competition law and consumer affairs to gambling, real estate, maritime safety, aviation, and now land transport. In this episode he talks about regulation as a single discipline, the origins of G-REG and the National Regulators Community of Practice, the hard work of building capability across systems, and why he now says that regulation is a political act.

    The Modern Regulator (TMR) Podcast is for regulators and regulatory-adjacent professionals in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Canada, and other stable democracies who care about the craft of regulation: stewardship, capability, posture, and practice rather than just politics.
