Dame Patsy Reddy stepped down as Chair of New Zealand rugby two weeks ago, and last week, started a new job: as Chair of the Climate Change Commission.
During her time on the board of New Zealand Rugby, an independent investigation recommended major change to the sport's governance structures, where the board would be made up of nine fully independently appointed members.
The former Governor General supported the plan - saying she would resign as chair if it was not agreed to.
The proposal was voted down, and Dame Patsy resigned.
She's in studio with Kathryn Ryan.
