Air New Zealand unveils new desgin for select aircraft By Lauren Brunetti on June, 14 2013 | Airline & Terminal News Air New Zealand has rolled out a new look for its aircraft, unveiling a livery it says will adorn its entire fleet by the end of 2014. The new look, which will feature an iconic silver fern, will phase out Air New Zealand's teal blue colors in favor of a mostly black and white scheme. The carrier's traditional "koru" design will remain on the tail, though it will shift to a white-on-black design. Air New Zealand is rolling out the new branding as part of a NZ$20 million marketing partnership withTourism New Zealand. "The new-look livery is distinctive and iconic and we believe will inspire a sense of pride in New Zealanders," Air New Zealand CEO Christopher Luxon says in a statement. “Air New Zealand has a long-standing relationship with Tourism New Zealand, having worked closely with the organisation in all of our key markets to promote New Zealand for a number of years. Today’s MoU signals a significant step-change in the level of joint marketing activity we will undertake to promote destination New Zealand." “As the national airline of New Zealand, growth in inbound tourism to New Zealand is a critical factor in our success. We fly more international visitors to New Zealand than any other airline and it is vital that we work together with tourism partners such as Tourism New Zealand in order to convert the opportunities out there,” says Mr Luxon. Tourism New Zealand Chief Executive Kevin Bowler says partnership activity remains a key priority for the organisation in its new three-year marketing strategy. According to the Australian Bussiness Traveler, the design process involved extensive consumer testing including focus groups both in New Zealand and overseas, with the airline stating that 78 percent of those surveyed believing the country's familiar 'fernmark' should be incorporated into the airline's new look. 1 Copyright DutyFree Magazine.

The Discursive Construction of Cultural Diversity by the Flag Consideration Panel
Flagging diversity: The discursive construction of cultural diversity by the Flag Consideration Panel Taylor Annabell, Auckland University of Technology, [email protected] Angelique Nairn, Auckland University of Technology, [email protected] Abstract The Flag Consideration Project invited New Zealanders to change the New Zealand flag, and in doing so provided an opportunity for public discussion about what it means to belong to a nation. This article examines the contemporary conceptualisations of New Zealand offered in the 5 Alternatives text that accompanied the first flag consideration referendum. Given the increasing levels of cultural diversity and the historical difficulty faced in ensuring that multiple cultures contribute to the construction of New Zealand, the analysis focuses on constructions of cultural diversity. We used Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis to consider ideologies of nationhood prevalent in the text; in particular, we were interested in insights pertaining to bicultural and multicultural constructions of New Zealand. As it happens, the attempts made by the Flag Participation Panel to construct cultural diversity through asserting that New Zealand is inclusive and multicultural, and by referring to Māori culture as well as Chinese. On a surface level, it appears that the constructions address the limitations attached to the current flag, and specifically its Pākehā symbolism. However, the language used by the Panel indicates a continued reliance on a Pākehā perspective of New Zealand and the positioning of Māori as outside the mainstream. Therefore, although the text may have attempted to emphasise commonality and unity regardless of cultural affiliations, it inevitably tokenises cultural difference and offers a seemingly shallow notion of New Zealand as inclusive.

The Ten Most Asked Questions About the New Zealand Flag
THE TEN MOST ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEW ZEALAND FLAG REFERENDUM PROCESS Palmerston North Rotary Club November 2nd 2015 Malcolm Mulholland Massey University New Zealand Flag Consideration Panel Member Tēnā koutou katoa. Many thanks for inviting me here today to address you regarding the New Zealand Flag Referendum Process. As a member of the panel it is our job to be neutral, not to promote any particular design, and to provide information where and when required and as such I welcome this opportunity to address you here today. As we embark upon the first referendum to rank the five alternative designs, I think it is important to address the ten most commonly asked questions in the hope of dispelling some of the myths so that people can make an informed and educated decision for the two referendums. 1. Are you worried about the level of feeling in the debate? No. In fact I’ve been encouraged by the amount of passionate responses. Why? Because it shows me that we care deeply about what is arguably our most prominent symbol of nationhood. Whether we stay with what we have or we decide upon a new ensign, it is vitally important that we get it right and that above all else that we have an emotional connection to our flag. We need to remember that the purpose of a flag is to incite a strong sense of patriotism. A flag that fulfils its purpose needs to summon every ounce of pride your being can feel. Call it making the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end, your heart beating twelve to the dozen, or not being able to swallow without detecting your Adam’s apple, this is the very purpose of a flag.

Insect-Host Plant Association: How Plant-Synztm Provides Information on the Quality of Supporting Evidence
NA Martin 23 Insect-host plant association: how Plant-SyNZtm provides information on the quality of supporting evidence Nicholas A. Martin Research Associate, Landcare Research, Private Bag 92170, Auckland 11072. [email protected] Very early in the formation of the Plant-SyNZtm database I realised that it was important to show the quality of evidence supporting the association of a herbivore species with a host plant species. The literature varies in its approach. I will take as an example Spencer (1976) who describes Agromyzidae of New Zealand (Insecta: Diptera) and I will focus on the genus Phytoliriomyza (Diptera: Agromyzidae). I have chosen this genus because the association of two Phytoliriomyza species with silver fern, Cyathea dealbata, were highlighted in a recent paper (Thorpe 2021). The Plant-SyNZtm database has a table for herbivore/plant associations and forms for recording and showing information. The key form (Figure 1) shows the name of the herbivore, the host plant, and the reference in which details of the association were published. It also summarises the evidence for the association and gives this a reliability score from 1-10, where for a leaf miner, for example, 10 is for rearing an adult from a larva and/or pupa found in the host plant. The form also shows the name of the assessor and the date of assessment. Three species in the genus Phytoliriomyza, (P. cyathea, P. flavopleura and P. tearohenis) have genitalia that show they belong to a group of species whose larvae are fern feeders (Spencer 1976). Spencer (1976) reports that adults of P.
