Clark was born to parents Faye, a doctor, and Richard Clark, a businessman, in 1973.[5][6] He grew up in Beachlands, just south of Auckland, and was schooled in Auckland.[2] He studied at Saint Kentigern College and spent his last year on a school exchange in Germany, immersing himself in the German language.[1]
In 1991, Clark moved to Dunedin to study at the University of Otago. He initially studied medicine but abandoned that in favour of pursuing degrees in theology and philosophy. Clark also studied theology and philosophy at Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen.[2][1] He was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1997 and worked as the assistant minister at St Luke's Presbyterian Church in Auckland.[3][2] After leaving professional ministry he continued to provide celebrant services, including at the civil union of Grant Robertson in 2009, as well Trevor Mallard's second marriage in 2014.[7][8]
Clark later returned to the University of Otago and in 2004 completed a PhD on the work of German/New Zealand refugee and existentialist thinker Helmut Rex.[9] After his graduation he also worked as a Treasury analyst and an advisor to then-climate change ministerDavid Parker.[6] From 2008 and 2011, Clark was the warden of Selwyn College at the University of Otago and deputy chair of the Otago Community Trust.[1][10]
Clark is married to Katrina, and they have three children. His brother, Ben, stood for Labour in the North Shore at the 2011 election, placing second behind Maggie Barry.[7] During his university years, Clark was a competitive cyclist and has twice completed the Ironman Triathlon.[11][12]
After serving as chairman on the Labour PartyDunedin North electorate committee, Clark was selected by the Labour Party to replace the retiring Pete Hodgson in the electorate.[2] He won the seat at the 2011 election over National candidate Michael Woodhouse.[13] Clark would defeat Woodhouse again in each of the following three elections, increasing his majority every time to a final margin of 15,521 votes in 2020.[14][15][16]
Clark's maiden parliamentary speech given on 14 February 2012 focused on his concern about rising inequality and his passion for social justice. In it, he argued that a more equal society will produce better outcomes, both socially and economically.[17][18]
Clark and Labour were in opposition for the first six years of his political career. Under leaders David Shearer, David Cunliffe and Andrew Little, Clark served as the party's spokesperson in a range of economic portfolios, including revenue, economic development and small business.[19] During his time as revenue spokesperson, he drew attention to difficulties the dated Inland Revenue computer system was creating for the organisation, and the small amounts that multinational companies were contributing to the tax base.[20][21][22][23]
Clark completed an Eisenhower Fellowship in 2013,[24] focusing much of his trip on the priority accorded to the values of fairness and freedom in New Zealand and the United States.[25] The same year, Parliament passed a private member's bill in Clark's name. The bill proposed "Mondayisation" of Waitangi Day and Anzac Day so that additional public holidays would be held if the true dates for those holidays occurred on a weekend.[26] This was the first bill to pass against the Government in four years.[27]
Another member's bill in Clark's name, aimed at preventing for-profit entities from running charter schools, was selected for a first reading in 2017. However, the bill was eventually dropped as the legislative framework for charter schools was repealed.[28] After the retirement of long-serving Labour MP Annette King was announced in March 2017, Clark became the Labour Party's health spokesperson.[29] When Labour formed a government seven months later, Clark became the Minister of Health.
On 4 May 2018, Clark announced that the Dunedin Hospital would be replaced by a new hospital on the site of the former Cadbury factory site and a neighbouring block that included the building occupied by Work and Income. The construction project is estimated to cost NZ$1.4 billion, would involve around a thousand workers, and is expected to be completed by 2026.[38][39]
In mid-June 2018, Clark was criticised by employees of the Counties Manukau District Health Board for allegedly trying to silence their reports of run-down buildings, asbestos, and overflowing sewage at Middlemore Hospital. Clark denied those allegations but criticised the staff for communicating through the media rather than through official channels.[40][41] Clark subsequently apologised to Counties Manukau DHB chairman Rabin Rabindran for the handling of the Middlemore saga.[42] That same month, Clark defended the Government's $500 million pay offer to nurses after the national union, the New Zealand Nurses Organisation, voted to go on strike.[43]
In mid-July 2018, Clark was forced to publicly defend his decision to go on a family holiday prior to a planned national strike by the Nurses Organisation.[44] On 25 July, Clark—alongside union representatives from the E tū and the Public Service Association as well as the Ministry of Social Development and the Accident Compensation Corporation—signed a NZ$173.5 million pay equity agreement to pay 5,000 mental health and addiction workers more.[45][46] Later that month, he announced that the District Health Boards, Nurses Organisation, and the Ministry of Health had successfully negotiated a joint accord to ensure safe staffing levels for nurses.[47][48]
In early September 2018, Clark suspended the troubled Oracle IT project to overhaul the District Health Boards' ageing IT systems. The troubled project had cost NZ$100 million.[49] In mid-November, Clark announced that the Government had scrapped plans for a proposed third medical school in the Waikato region on the grounds that the project would have cost billions to set up and operate.[50][51] On 19 November, he also announced that the Government would establish a NZ$20 million new health centre in the South Island town of Westport.[52]
As Minister of Health, Clark took a leadership role in the Government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand. In early April 2020, Clark drew media attention and public criticism when he drove to a Dunedin park two kilometres away from his home to ride a mountain bike trail despite the Government's COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Clark later apologised to prime minister Jacinda Ardern for ignoring official guidelines advising against non-essential travel.[55][56][57][58] During the first week of the country's national lock-down he also drove his family twenty kilometres to a beach for a walk. Ardern subsequently announced that Clark offered his resignation, but due to his role in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, she did not accept it, instead depriving him of his ministerial role as Associate Finance Minister and demoting him to the bottom of Labour's Cabinet ranking.[59]
In late June 2020, Clark attracted media attention and criticism following a press conference at which he stated, "The director-general [Ashley Bloomfield] has accepted that protocols weren't being followed, he has accepted responsibility for that and has set about putting it right".[60] His remark was interpreted by some journalists as blaming Bloomfield for the Ministry of Health's mismanagement of quarantine following a recent outbreak stemming from overseas travel.[60][61]The Spinoff's editor Toby Manhire opined that Clark's "humility bypass" created problems for Ardern's government.[62] Left-wing commentator Chris Trotter described Clark's handling of the situation as "shameful" and called on Ardern to dismiss him from his position. Right-wing commentator Trish Anderson criticised Clark for not "'pulling his weight' in the government" and criticised Ardern's perceived inaction against him as a "failure of leadership."[63] Clark's Wikipedia article was also vandalised with remarks attacking his handling of the press conference with Bloomfield.[64][65]
In early July 2020, Clark announced that he was resigning as Minister of Health, stating that "I've always taken a view that the team must come first ... so I've made the call that it's best for me to step aside." Ardern accepted his resignation, stating that she "accepted Clark's conclusion that his presence in the role was creating an unhelpful distraction from the Government's ongoing response to Covid-19 and wider health reforms."[4][66]
On 2 July 2020, Clark was granted retention of the title The Honourable, in recognition of his term as a member of the Executive Council.[67]
On 13 December 2022, Clark announced his intention to retire from politics at the 2023 general election.[68][69] On 31 January 2023, prime minister Chris Hipkins announced a Cabinet re-shuffle of ministerial portfolios, and Clark's portfolios were transferred to other ministers.[70] He was briefly deputy chair of the Finance and Expenditure Committee from April until September 2023.[71]

Invariant measure of fractal dimension Example of non-integer dimensions. The first four iterations of the Koch curve, where after each iteration, all original line segments are replaced with four, each a self-similar copy that is 1/3 the length of the original. One formalism of the Hausdorff dimension uses the scale factor (S = 3) and the number of self-similar objects (N = 4) to calculate the dimension, D, after the first iteration to be D = (log N)/(log S) = (log 4)/(log 3) ≈ 1.26.[1...
