    Bromley Cemetery Tour Compiled by Richard L. N. Greenaway June 2007 Block 1A Row C No. 33 Hurd Born at Hinton, England, Frank James Hurd emigrated with his parents. He worked as a contractor and, in 1896, in Wellington, married Lizzie Coker. The bride, 70, claimed to be 51 while the groom, 40, gave his age as 47. Lizzie had emigrated on the Regina in 1859 with her cousin, James Gapes (later Mayor of Christchurch) and his family and had already been twice-wed. Indeed, the property she had inherited from her first husband, George Allen, had enabled her second spouse, John Etherden Coker, to build the Manchester Street hotel which bears his name. Lizzie and Frank were able to make trips to England and to Canada where there dwelt Lizzie’s brother, once a member of the Horse Guards. Lizzie died in 1910 and, two years later, Hurd married again. He and his wife lived at 630 Barbadoes Street. Hurd was a big man who, in old age he had a white moustache, cap and walking stick. He died, at 85, on 1 April 1942. Provisions of Lizzie’s will meant that a sum of money now came to the descendants of James Gapes. They were now so numerous that the women of the tribe could spend their inheritance on a new hat and have nothing left over.

  • The Politics of Post-War Consumer Culture
    New Zealand Journal of History, 40, 2 (2006) The Politics of Post-War Consumer Culture THE 1940s ARE INTERESTING YEARS in the story of New Zealand’s consumer culture. The realities of working and spending, and the promulgation of ideals and moralities around consumer behaviour, were closely related to the political process. Labour had come to power in 1935 promising to alleviate the hardship of the depression years and improve the standard of living of all New Zealanders. World War II intervened, replacing the image of increasing prosperity with one of sacrifice. In the shadow of the war the economy grew strongly, but there remained a legacy of shortages at a time when many sought material advancement. Historical writing on consumer culture is burgeoning internationally, and starting to emerge in New Zealand. There is already some local discussion of consumption in the post-war period, particularly with respect to clothing, embodiment and housing.1 This is an important area for study because, as Peter Gibbons points out, the consumption of goods — along with the needs they express and the desires they engender — deeply affects individual lives and social relationships.2 A number of aspects of consumption lend themselves to historical analysis, including the economic, the symbolic, the moral and the political. By exploring the political aspects of consumption and their relationships to these other strands, we can see how intense contestation over the symbolic meaning of consumption and its relationship to production played a pivotal role in defining the differences between the Labour government and the National opposition in the 1940s.

  • A Diachronic Study of Unparliamentary Language in the New Zealand Parliament, 1890-1950
    WITHDRAW AND APOLOGISE: A DIACHRONIC STUDY OF UNPARLIAMENTARY LANGUAGE IN THE NEW ZEALAND PARLIAMENT, 1890-1950 BY RUTH GRAHAM A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Linguistics Victoria University of Wellington 2016 ii “Parliament, after all, is not a Sunday school; it is a talking-shop; a place of debate”. (Barnard, 1943) iii Abstract This study presents a diachronic analysis of the language ruled to be unparliamentary in the New Zealand Parliament from 1890 to 1950. While unparliamentary language is sometimes referred to as ‘parliamentary insults’ (Ilie, 2001), this study has a wider definition: the language used in a legislative chamber is unparliamentary when it is ruled or signalled by the Speaker as out of order or likely to cause disorder. The user is required to articulate a statement of withdrawal and apology or risk further censure. The analysis uses the Communities of Practice theoretical framework, developed by Wenger (1998) and enhanced with linguistic impoliteness, as defined by Mills (2005) in order to contextualise the use of unparliamentary language within a highly regulated institutional setting. The study identifies and categorises the lexis of unparliamentary language, including a focus on examples that use New Zealand English or te reo Māori. Approximately 2600 examples of unparliamentary language, along with bibliographic, lexical, descriptive and contextual information, were entered into a custom designed relational database. The examples were categorised into three: ‘core concepts’, ‘personal reflections’ and the ‘political environment’, with a number of sub-categories. This revealed a previously unknown category of ‘situation dependent’ unparliamentary language and a creative use of ‘animal reflections’.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. From Coal Pit to Leather Pit: Life Stories of Robert Semple A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a PhD in History at Massey University Carina Hickey 2010 ii Abstract In the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography Len Richardson described Robert Semple as one of the most colourful leaders of the New Zealand labour movement in the first half of the twentieth century. Semple was a national figure in his time and, although historians had outlined some aspects of his public career, there has been no full-length biography written on him. In New Zealand history his characterisation is dominated by two public personas. Firstly, he is remembered as the radical organiser for the New Zealand Federation of Labour (colloquially known as the Red Feds), during 1910-1913. Semple’s second image is as the flamboyant Minister of Public Works in the first New Zealand Labour government from 1935-49. This thesis is not organised in a chronological structure as may be expected of a biography but is centred on a series of themes which have appeared most prominently and which reflect the patterns most prevalent in Semple’s life. The themes were based on activities which were of perceived value to Semple. Thus, the thematic selection was a complex interaction between an author’s role shaping and forming Semple’s life and perceived real patterns visible in the sources.

  • The Impact of John A. Lee's Expulsion Upon the Labour Party
    The Impact of John A. Lee's Expulsion upon the Labour Party IN MARCH 1940 the Labour Party expelled John A. Lee. Lee's dynamism and flair, the length and drama of the battle, not to mention Lee's skill as a publicist, have focussed considerable attention upon his expulsion. Almost all historians of New Zealand have mentioned it, and most have portrayed it as a defeat for extremism, radicalism, dissent or a policy of industrialization.1 According to one political scientist, although Labour did not quite blow out its metaphorical brains in expelling Lee, his expulsion heralded the victory of the administrators and consolidators.2 While few of those who have attributed a significance to Lee's expulsion have hazarded a guess at its effect .upon the Labour Party's membership or the party itself, Bruce Brown, who gave the better part of two chapters to the disputes associated with Lee's name, pointed out that 'hundreds of the most enthusiastic branch members' followed Lee 'out of the main stream of political life.'3 Brown recognized that such an exodus undoubtedly weakened the Labour Party although, largely because he ended his history in 1940, he made no attempt to estimate the exact numbers involved or the significance of their departure. This essay is designed to suggested tentative answers to both questions. Immediately after his expulsion Lee believed that radicals, socialists and even five or six members of parliament would join him. The first 1 For instance, W.H.

  • Ballpoint Pen Marginalia, 1930S Police Files and Security Intelligence Practices
    SECURITY AND SURVEILLANCE HISTORY SERIES Working Documents: Ballpoint Pen Marginalia, 1930s Police Files and Security Intelligence Practices On 12 July 1933, John Hayes, an Auckland detective, attended a meeting at the Auckland Town Hall protesting unemployment policy. The next day he typed a report about that meeting and signed his name. Seventy-eight years later that report was released to Archives New Zealand. In that time, 17 additional marks were made on the report: other people signed it, names were ticked, the page was numbered and file markers were added (figure 1).1 Hayes’ report was a working document for decades, the many notations demonstrating how much the document had been used. Careful study of these notations over the life of such documents can shed light on political surveillance practice and policy. Figure 1 Report by Detective John Hayes with 17 subsequent marks. Miscellaneous Organisations: Unemployed Workers’ Movement [Archives reference: ADMO 21007 W5985 5/ 26/8/90 6/2] Archives New Zealand, The Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua. Security and Surveillance History Series, 2017/1 1 This article focuses on the ballpoint pen marginalia created by the New Zealand Security Service (NZSS), later renamed the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS), on former New Zealand Police Force files.2 In the 1930s, when Hayes typed his report, political surveillance and counter-subversion was the responsibility of the police. In 1956, when the NZSS was formed, his report was transferred to the new agency. The use of both nib pens and pencils, and the newer technology of ballpoint pens, on pre-existing files provides evidence of how documents created in one era were re-employed in another.

  • Justice Ministers, the Justice Ministry, and Penal Reform: the First 100 Years
    Documents/ministers … etc Justice Ministers, the Justice Ministry, and Penal Reform: The First 100 Years 1 Hour Seminar to the ‘Justice Horizons’ Series Ministry of Justice, 27 July 2007 Origins of the Justice Ministry Jails and lockups have existed in NZ since the 1st days of colonisation, but they had no legal authority until the 1st Legislative Council was formed in 1841. After that, prisons were run by Sheriffs who reported to the Governor, while the administration of justice belonged to the Colonial Secretary. Until 1853 serious criminals were transported to Tasmania but this ceased in 1853 and from then on, full responsibility for prisons passed to the Provinces that had been established under the Constitution Act 1852. In 1858 a Justice division was created within the office of the Attorney General and a dedicated Minister of Justice was appointed in 1872. However it wasn’t until the abolition of the Provinces in 1876 that full Ministerial control over prisons became possible. 1 But there was no mechanism for central management so in practice the running of prisons remained with local authorities or jailers. As a result, there was little uniformity in the way prisons were managed. Administrative confusion and a lack of clarity about who was supposed to be running the prisons created chaos, with an inevitable series of scandals and a crescendo of calls from newspapers, visiting justices, grand juries, judges, and various government inquiries, for the Justice Department to do its job. Finally, after much delay, the Parliament acted and in 1880 Capt. Arthur Hume, an English prison governor, was appointed to manage NZ’s prisons.

Foote W. 89 year old author and retired school A S teacher Will Foote has been an active S I member of the peace movement since he N G attended Teachers' College and University in Christchurch (1937-1939). He was one of a small group who then expressed their PPASSINGASSING opposition to war in the streets of that city. His beliefs resulted in his spending four war-time years in North Island detention camps. After re-admission to the teaching service in 1948 he spent the next 30 years BBELLSELLS in a variety of teaching positions, mainly in rural areas, and including three years as Principal of Tonga High School in wwars,ars, nnon-violenceon-violence & ccommonommon mmoralityorality Nuku'alofa.

Will has written several books on peace topics. In this book he looks at the appalling human cost of wars, particularly those in which our country has been engaged, and considers the real and given reasons for those wars. He shows that there have always been non-violent alternatives to war and looks forward to the day when non-violent people power will be used to eliminate poverty, the arms race and war.
