520			_aThis article explores the implementation of complex social policy in New Zealand using the example of the implementation of government family violence strategies. In an earlier evaluation by the author of three such strategies released between 2002 and 2006, fewer than half of the actions had been implemented six months after the completion date in the strategies. This article discusses the reasons for these failures. The author draws on detailed content analysis of documents, and interviews with 15 government and non-government participants, in addition to her own lengthy experience in policy work and the implementation of public sector strategies. It is suggested that strategies such as Te Rito would be more successful if attention was paid to outcomes logic models and guidance taken on micro level implementation methodology. The author notes that implementation activities in New Zealand would be greatly enhanced if, as in Australia, there was a centralised unit to help agencies find their way through strategic policy implementation.
