We built a house on it. We had a lot of fun there for nine years, and then I was coming back and forward a lot, and I thought, fuck, they’re having so much fun up here. I was saying to Jude, everything that people like me and Bob Harvey and Hamish Keith used to fght for, like eating on the footpath, and the waterfront, and all these things we never thought we’d see in our lifetime, they actual- ly started to happen. I was walking down Ponsonby Road and everyone was beaming away and I thought, Christ, I’d better come back. So 18 months ago we sold the big house on the beach to the Whittaker’s chocolate people and we found this fabulous factory space and we moved everything back. And when we moved back, I started to notice how happy everyone in Auckland seemed to be with Auckland. I’m talking about courier drivers and young electricians, the young Maori guys that installed the heat pump, they were raving away, you’d think Auckland was the centre of the universe. My son Otis with his wife and that taco truck, they all think why would you live anywhere else? And nobody ever talked like that once. We just always fantasised about being somewhere else. In my lifetime, and I’m 71 this year, to see it all completely roll around, and for people to start talking about Auckland as a place you’d actually want to be, it took me a while to get my head around it. So when you rang with this project, I thought that’s pretty timely actually.” Dick Frizzell, April 2014 7 FOREWORD In late 2013, I got talking to Al Brown about Auckland. Enthusiastically, he told me how great he was feeling about our city. He’s in the majority of Aucklanders who aren’t from here. I’m in the minority who are. Neither of us has seen our city feel as good about itself, yet we both had trouble pinning down exactly what it was about this changing city that we were feeling so good about. I left wanting to fgure it out. I gave myself the project of talking to 50 leading Aucklanders. A selection of the business, political, creative, and thought leaders of our city. I wanted to know what they thought we were becoming. To create a shared understanding of our ‘New Auckland’. While I had those conversations, the people at Bauer Media kindly gave me access to their panel of Auckland readers and allowed me to ask them how their feelings toward Auckland compared to a decade ago. 21% of those 973 people said they felt less proud of Auckland. 32% said they felt as proud. And 47%, by far the largest group, said they felt more proud of our city. This suggests that our coming of age is something that’s being experi- enced by people of all walks of life, right across our city. I believe that, before our eyes, Auckland is becoming one of the world’s great cities. I hope that these conversations give us some insight into what’s going so well, so that we might continue successfully on this amazing journey.

Paper Collage. Courtesy of the artist and Melanie Roger Gallery A SHORT DISCLAIMER AK2 is meant in no way to be an all-encom- passing report on the condition of Auckland. Like any city, Auckland has its problems. Many of those interviewed have tempered their excitement about our city with con- cerns ranging from our rising cost of living, to income disparity, to the economic dangers of infating house prices, to issues of pover- ty and how we should care for less fortunate Aucklanders, to our trafc and public trans- port issues. This report in no way intends to ignore or marginalise these issues. AK2’s reason for being is to contribute an answer to one question: “We are becoming prouder of our city. Why?” By defnition this is a question about what’s going right as op- posed to what isn’t, and therefore the con- tent of this report is largely positive. However - the implication is certainly not that our work is done and our city is perfect. The message is that we have come a long way in recent years, and that we might glean learnings from those successes to apply to the work ahead of us, continuing to build one of the world’s great cities. 14 H O W T H I S R E P O R T IS STRUCTURED 1.

    New Zealand Journal of Employment Relations, 45(1): 14-30 Minor parties, ER policy and the 2020 election JULIENNE MOLINEAUX* and PETER SKILLING** Abstract Since New Zealand adopted the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) representation electoral system in 1996, neither of the major parties has been able to form a government without the support of one or more minor parties. Understanding the ways in which Employment Relations (ER) policy might develop after the election, thus, requires an exploration of the role of the minor parties likely to return to parliament. In this article, we offer a summary of the policy positions and priorities of the three minor parties currently in parliament (the ACT, Green and New Zealand First parties) as well as those of the Māori Party. We place this summary within a discussion of the current volatile political environment to speculate on the degree of power that these parties might have in possible governing arrangements and, therefore, on possible changes to ER regulation in the next parliamentary term. Keywords: Elections, policy, minor parties, employment relations, New Zealand politics Introduction General elections in New Zealand have been held under the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) system since 1996. Under this system, parties’ share of seats in parliament broadly reflects the proportion of votes that they received, with the caveat that parties need to receive at least five per cent of the party vote or win an electorate seat in order to enter parliament. The change to the MMP system grew out of increasing public dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the previous First Past the Post (FPP) or ‘winner-take-all’ system (NZ History, 2014).

    1 ‘Do the duty that lies nearest to thee’: Elizabeth Gaskell, Philanthropy and Writing Louise Simone Armshaw Submitted by Louise Simone Armshaw to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Master of Philosophy in English September 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ……………………………………………………………………………… 2 3 Abstract This thesis examines the relationship between Gaskell’s philanthropy and her three social problem novels. Examining Gaskell in the context of Victorian philanthropy, I will argue that this is a relationship of far greater complexity than has previously been perceived. Gaskell’s Unitarian faith will be of particular relevance as different denominations often had unique approaches to philanthropy, and I will begin by examining Gaskell’s participation with philanthropy organised by her congregation, taking the charity bazaar as my example of this. Examining Gaskell’s three social problem novels in chronological order I will demonstrate that Gaskell rejects these forms of organised Victorian philanthropy, referred to as ‘associated philanthropy,’ in favour of developing her own vision of philanthropy in her novels. I will examine how Gaskell’s participation with ‘associated philanthropy,’ and the individual pursuit of her own philanthropic interests, shapes the development of her philanthropic vision in her fiction.
