TheO vigilant can deflect the evil intentions rife in the everyday world of people. But we know no remedy for the emptiness that remains after death’s grim harvest ; For its pain is etched on our hearts, and its memory is a curse to be borne by the living. Aroha turns the wise words you leave behind to gravestones around which the people will gather to mourn and remember. Thus, although you, our elders, may pass into the night, your flesh to corrupt and fade, Yet you speak still. And we cling to your sacred teachings, generation upon living generation, These few feeble words too thin to convey our love and gratitude for the legacy you have bequeathed us, your living faces. Let what follows be a cloak that keeps warm your voices and safe your contributions to this troubled world. Rest now, in peace.

  • The Pacifist Traditions of Parihaka
    Reclaiming the Role of Rongo: The Pacifist Traditions of Parihaka. Introduction: This paper seeks to introduce a form of radical politics centred on the role of Rongo, the Māori god of peace. As part of the focus on Rongo, this paper will discuss the pacifist traditions of Parihaka, the Day of Reconciliation and what the future trajectory for Parihaka may hold. The theoretical analysis will encompass a discourse analysis of the traditional waiata or Maori songs, as well as highlight the living history component of Parihaka by following an autoethnographic approach. The central question behind this paper asks whether the pacifism of the past influenced by the scriptures is less influential and needs to be replaced by an understanding of Rongo – a revolutionary and radical form of nonviolent politics. History and context of Parihaka: Parihaka was established in 1867 in Taranaki, the west coast of the north island of New Zealand. It wasn’t the first Maori settlement of peace in Taranaki, it followed on from other attempts to establish a peaceful community at Warea, Ngākumikumi, Te Puru, Kēkēua and Waikoukou. The leaders of the movement Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi were well versed in the bible and decided to provide refuge to the landless Maori of Taranaki who had suffered the land confiscations in the 1860’s. Although the land was confiscated, it wasn’t enforced north of the Waingōngoro river from 1865 to 1878. (Riseborough, 1989, p. 31) The influence of Parihaka grew overtime, and it became difficult for government officials to bypass Te Whiti and Tohu, who were patient on waiting for their reserves that were promised to them.

  • New Zealand Relations India and New
    India - New Zealand Relations India and New Zealand have cordial and friendly relations rooted in the linkages of Commonwealth, parliamentary democracy and the English language. The two countries have been fellow travelers in their commitment to disarmament, global peace, North-South Dialogue, human rights, ecological preservation and combating international terrorism. People-to-people contacts have been in focus since migration from India to this country began at the turn of the last century, and a sizeable population of Indian origin (estimated about 175,000) has made New Zealand its permanent home. Tourism and sporting links, particularly in cricket, hockey and mountaineering, have played a significant role in fostering goodwill between the two countries. Bilateral relations were established in 1952 between India and New Zealand. NZ has identified India as a priority country in its “Opening Doors to India” policy notified in October 2011 which was reiterated by NZ in 2015. Mr. Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi, NZ Member of Parliament of Indian origin was honoured with the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award by the Hon’ble Vice-President of India on 9th January, 2015 at Gandhinagar, Gujarat. This Award was conferred upon him for his immense contribution in the field of public service and for fostering ties between India and New Zealand. Visit of Hon’ble President of India to New Zealand: Hon’ble President of India paid a State visit to New Zealand from April 30 to May 2, 2016. Hon’ble President was given a ceremonial welcome by the Governor General of New Zealand followed by a State Banquet.

  • Building Export Markets Progress Report
    The Business Growth Agenda Progress Reports BUILDING: EXPORT MARKETS INNOVATION SKILLED AND SAFE WORKPLACES INFRASTRUCTURE NATURAL RESOURCES CAPITAL MARKETS Building Export Markets August 2012 2 Ministers’ Foreword We are pleased to present this progress report on the Government’s work to help grow New Zealand’s export opportunities and build sustained economic growth. Building Export Markets is the first of six progress reports on the Government’s Business Growth Agenda. It lays out the export challenge for New Zealand, the great opportunities we have, and the Government initiatives underway to help companies boost our export performance. The Government has an ambitious goal for New Zealand – to increase the ratio of exports to GDP from the current 30% to 40% by 2025. This will require a concerted effort to encourage investors to develop more internationally competitive businesses, in both the commodity and high-value technology-based sectors. Setting this goal ensures the Government remains focused on supporting the confidence and growth of our high productivity export firms. It is also clear that to lift the international profile of Kiwi exporters in international markets we need to better tell the ‘New Zealand Story’. Work is under way with key stakeholders on developing a compelling and consistent narrative about our country’s special qualities that work for a range of exporters and sectors. We want to see the ‘New Zealand Story’ used by the Government, its agencies and New Zealand businesses to build greater brand recognition and demand for our goods and services overseas.
