Honeymoon over? The Hugo Group, March 2018 The govt’s worst week? • Ardern returned from a triumphant photo opp in the South Pacific to: • Labour summer camp scandal – Govt on the back foot – Ardern blindsided – Aspirational leader dragged into #metoo mud – Other Ministers implicated – Survivable, but has shown a different side to the PM • Winston Peters’s performance as Foreign Minister looks increasingly flakey • Growth a bit soft • Business confidence still soft • Internal tensions around water – Parker vs Maori • America’s Cup village decision looks very confused • Phil Twyford missing in action on housing • A suddenly less forgiving Press Gallery Peters’s performance • Off-script when being on-script is vital • Threats to post-WW2 global rules-based order intensifying • Ability to straddle between US and China diminishing • Small countries likely to find international relations tougher in this environment • If the govt’s foreign policy is to change, it needs to be highly disciplined • Instead, the PM is again defending, clarifying and obfuscating to cover for her deputy leader’s performance Policy conundrums mounting • Tax Working Group clearly placed CGT on the agenda • Provincial Growth Fund – underdone on first round of announcements – Much was previous govt’s initiatives • Behind the scenes, tensions on conservation policy vs tourism development – Provincial growth/employment vs pure green minister • End to oil and gas prospecting being floated internally • Lyttelton port strike • Teacher/nursing union pay claims vs Budget responsibility rules • CPTPP - is ending ISDS with Brunei, Malaysia, Viet Nam, and Peru wise? Survivable at present Upcoming policy signalled • NCEA review is huge – May education summits worth watching • Zero Carbon Act consultation period now under way – For completion in June/July – Legislation by Sept/Oct – Passage April/May 2019 – Adaptation options paper due shortly • R&D tax credits – Decision-making under way now • Electricity review – Not sympathetic to rooftop solar – Likely change to Low User regs • SSC Act review – Making public servants entrepreneurial via legislation… Nats reshufﬂe • Demotions are obvious • But promotions less so • Not much new blood • Surprising to see Paul Goldsmith now ranked above Nikki Kaye • No improvement for apparent talent such as Chris Bishop/Todd Muller – Punished for supporting other candidates? .

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).

Election Will Be Crush Vs Smile It Was Fashionable at One Point in the Last Generation and a Half for Some Men to Refer to Their Inner Feminism
JT col for July 18 2020 - Crush v smile Election will be crush vs smile It was fashionable at one point in the last generation and a half for some men to refer to their inner feminism. I was one. But past performance not withstanding, I must still be viewed as a male chauv…or worse, an old male chauv. There, I’ve said it. The risk in what follows seems less: I’m delighted the leadership of the country will be contested by two women, Jacinda Ardern versus Judith Collins. How appropriate, given we were the first to “allow” women to vote. Not- withstanding further accidents, we’re headed into an election in which a woman is guaranteed to be Prime Minister. I must have had an inkling about this, because last week I went along to see Collins for myself. A self-declared good mate of Johnathan Young’s, she turned up in Taranaki to speak at his election launch, visit around, promote her recently published memoirs, et cetera. I was one of 110 people keen enough to brave a freezing night to observe this politician with a long game; good sense told us she was probably positioning for a post-election leadership run after Todd Muller was sacrificed on the altar of Ardern. Even if Collins can't out-Ardern her opponent come September, she'll hold on. Her strategy is one based on people's short memories for her missteps since she got into parliament 18 years ago. The National Party also seems temporarily to have lost its appetite for the youngish and the novel.

Legislative Race on As Election Looms Foresters Stunned by Licencing
HUGO Assessing the economic and political environmentvision in New Zealand Confidential to May 29 2020 HUGO members Legislative race on as election looms Page 2 While the media focused on the National Party’s new leadership, the government was pushing ahead to speed unusually large amounts of legislation through Parliament under urgency, some of it substantive and with very little select committee or public scrutiny. Foresters stunned by licencing proposal Page 2 Forest owners have been caught by surprise by Forestry Minister Shane Jones’s urgent legislation to regulate and licence the sector. Where Jones sees potential to require more wood for domestic processing, foresters fear the scheme misunderstands the sector and will stifle investment. Todd Muller’s shaky start Page 3 Todd Muller’s overthrow of Simon Bridges was going like clockwork until he dug in unnecessarily over a souvenir hat, forgot to ensure talented Maori MPs were in his top line-up and allowed himself to get a little too close to Matthew Hooton while not having key staff in place. Momentum is everything for a new leader, especially this close to an election. He needs to regain it or the next contender will step up swiftly after the election. Divide and rule Page 4 China is doing its best to split NZ off from the Australia as it seeks to contain US-led antagonism on a range of issues ranging from blame for covid-19 through to Beijing’s heavy-handed approach to Hong Kong. NZ is treading carefully. International education Page 5 Both NZ First and National have latched onto calls for the international education sector to reopen sooner rather than later, in part because foreign students are willing to go through isolation periods and then consume accommodation and other products and services in the NZ economy.

Neuseeland Vor Den Parlamentswahlen
Juli 2020 Regionalprogramm Australien und Pazifik (Quelle: Novikov Aleksey via Shutterstock) Neuseeland vor den Parlamentswahlen Wahlkampf in Zeiten der Pandemie Dr. Beatrice Gorawantschy / Eva Wagner „It is all about saving lives“ – mit dieser klaren Ansage führte die neuseeländische Premierministerin Jacinda Ardern die Bevölkerung am 25. März in einen der weltweit härtesten „lockdowns“ zur Eindämmung der Covid 19-Pandemie, mit dem Ergebnis, dass man aktuell nahezu von einer Eliminierung des Virus auf der anderen Seite der Welt sprechen kann. Die Premierministerin und die von ihr geführte Labour Party erfreuen sich großer Popularität, während die Umfragewerte der oppositionellen National Party alarmierende Tiefen annahmen, woraufhin diese ihren Spitzenkandidaten im Mai austauschte. Niemand konnte ahnen, dass der neue Vorsitzende der National Party bereits nach 53 Tagen im Amt zurücktreten würde und damit die Krise der Partei offenbarte. Judith Collins, Politikveteranin der National Party, wurde am 14. Juli zur neuen Vorsitzenden gewählt; sie wird alles daransetzen, ihrem Spitznamen „Crusher Collins“ gerecht zu werden und Krisenmanagerin Jacinda Ardern bei den Parlamentswahlen am 19. September zu entthronen. Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung e. V. Länderbericht Juli 2020 2 2 Im Folgenden werden die Hintergründe der Krise der National Party dargelegt und die Wahlkampfagenden der beiden großen Parteien sowie die Rolle der kleineren Parteien beleuchtet. Schließlich wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie sich Regierung und Opposition in Zeiten der Pandemie aufstellen, und welche Aussichten auf den Wahlsieg bestehen. Rückblick Die Geschichte scheint sich zu wiederholen – dieses Mal im anderen politischen Lager. Nur sieben Wochen vor den neuseeländischen Parlamentswahlen 2017 hatte die Labour Party ihren damaligen Vorsitzenden Andrew Little - aufgrund kontinuierlich schwacher Umfragewerte - gegen die junge, charismatische Jacinda Ardern ausgetauscht.
