  • Institutional Racism and the Dynamics of Privilege in Public Health
    Institutional Racism and the Dynamics of Privilege in Public Health A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management at The University of Waikato by HEATHER ANNE CAME _____________________________________ 2012 ABSTRACT Institutional racism, a pattern of differential access to material resources and power determined by race, advantages one sector of the population while disadvantaging another. Such racism is not only about conspicuous acts of violence but can be carried in the hold of mono-cultural perspectives. Overt state violation of principles contributes to the backdrop against which much less overt yet insidious violations occur. New Zealand health policy is one such mono- cultural domain. It is dominated by western bio-medical discourses that preclude and under-value Māori,1 the indigenous peoples of this land, in the conceptualisation, structure, content, and processes of health policies, despite Te Tiriti o Waitangi2 guarantees to protect Māori interests. Since the 1980s, the Department of Health has committed to honouring the Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of Māori-settler relationships and governance arrangements. Subsequent Waitangi Tribunal reports, produced by an independent Commission of Inquiry have documented the often-illegal actions of successive governments advancing the interests of Pākehā3 at the expense of Māori. Institutional controls have not prevented inequities between Māori and non-Māori across a plethora of social and economic indicators. Activist scholars work to expose and transform perceived inequities. My research interest lies in how Crown Ministers and officials within the public health sector practice institutional racism and privilege and how it can be transformed.

  • Conference on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
    Conference on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington 5-6 September 2017 WELCOME E ngā mātāwaka, ō ngā hau e whā o te motu kua whakakukū mai ki tēnei kaupapa nui whakaharahara, nau mai, haere mai. Nō reira kei te mihi atu ki ngā rangatira, ki ngā iwi, ki ngā roopu i oti i a koutou tēnei kaupapa o te Whakaputanga. Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, katoa. Welcome to the Conference on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, jointly hosted by the Massey University-based Global Centre for Indigenous Leadership and the New Zealand Human Rights Commission. In 2007, the United Nations’ General Assembly adopted the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and in 2010, the New Zealand Government took the decision to formalise its support for it. The Declaration recognises the rights of Māori and all Indigenous Peoples to self-determination, to maintain their own languages and cultures, to protect their natural environment and cultural heritage and to manage their own affairs as Indigenous Peoples. Ten years on from its adoption, this conference provides the opportunity to reflect on the Declaration’s significance and focus on its impact and relevance at the community level, alongside the Treaty of Waitangi. On behalf of the organising committee, we are honoured to host this important conference where we will consider the political, cultural, social and economic ramifications of the Declaration, significant milestones since its adoption, and its future prospects. We are hopeful that this conference will provide a strong foundation and clear pathway forward for ensuring the Declaration remains a relevant and impactful tool for future generations.

On that basis, the Government agrees with a longer term goal of reducing smoking prevalence and tobacco availability
