Wow March 2014 ss BMG Mini for Nelson Cancer YoYourur LocalLocal NewNew by Bob Croy Issue 17 March 2014 It has been a long road to travel with our BMG Mini for Nelson Cancer since its inception. In fact, it has been almost two years. We started out to make a profit of $10,000 and we have ended up with a grand total of $110,000 for the Cancer Society Nelson as a part of the 2014 Relay 4 Life, a total that our Wakefield Caffeine Crew are extremely comfortable and happy with. Thanks to Peter Cobeldick for taking time out whilst on holiday to draw the raffle for us at the Wakefield Police Station. The winners were as follows: 1st Prize 14772 T Jeffries, Levin 2nd Prize 07571 J Wright, Ernest Rutherford Rest Home 3rd Prize 03099 Debbie Smith, Richmond 4th Prize 12624 L Livingstone, Brightwater Congratulations to these folks who have now been given their prizes at an evening put on by the very generous Bowater Motor Group at Bowater Toyota. It was a lovely evening with all of the winners there to be presented with their respective prizes. Trevor Jeffries, the BMG Mini for Nelson Cancer winner, flew down from Levin and arrived in Nelson at 4.45pm, took part in a special evening with all of us, then disappeared into the sunset like a rocket to catch the 10pm ferry to Wellington. It was a bit deflating to say the least and sad to see our little yellow Mini disappear out of our lives and away from Nelson. We all had far too many photos taken, enjoyed some fine local wines donated from Wine Art and got a chance to reflect on the great effort raising so much money for the Cancer Society Nelson. I would like to congratulate our team on their sterling effort and devotion with the non ending job of selling raffles. We have all heard endless Mini stories over the last three months that we had the car on the road. The one that takes the cake is the guy that used his Mini to go up in the forest spotlighting deer and one particular night had shot seven deer all Photos courtesy of The Nelson Mail of which he loaded in and on his Mini to get them all home. Of course, we also are grateful to everyone who bought tickets. The public response was truly gratifying. ... continued on Page 3 TIRED, STRESSED, OVER WHELMED?...

  • 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. ‘For Light and Liberty’ The Origins and Early Development of the Reform Party, 1887-1915 A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History at Massey University, Manawatu,¯ New Zealand Elizabeth Ward 2018 iii Abstract The Reform Party was one of the main political parties in New Zealand prior to the Second World War. Despite this, very little research has been conducted into its origins and growth as a party. This thesis examines that period of the Reform Party’s development, beginning in the late 1880s and ending with the formation of the National Government in 1915. It argues that a ‘reform’ identity began to emerge at the 1887 election and that in the 1890s the Opposition to the Liberals continued to refine ‘reform’ ide- als. Furthermore, the establishment of the National Association in 1891 provided the Opposition with an extra-parliamentary organisation. This meant that it was better organised than the Liberals, and not the disunited group that some have previously characterised it as. Although the Opposition had relatively good polit- ical organisation, it was unable to win an election during the 1890s because its political message did not resonate with the electorate. In the first decade of the twentieth century the Opposition transformed itself into the Reform Party, beginning with the formation of the Political Reform League in 1905, and then taking the name Reform Party in 1909.

The street was formed following the 1894 subdivision of a Brougham Street property owned by local resident Catherine Gray. The area’s close proximity to town meant the sections were snapped up by those wanting to build their own homes as well as speculative builders. All the houses were built between 1897 and 1903, highlighting how colonial suburbs grew streets at a time. This was at the tail of the suburb’s original development; subsequent growth was mainly through land-use intensification. In common with most housing in Mt Victoria, the Armour Avenue group comprise a mix of one and two-storey timber structures, of varying sizes and sited on rectangular sections with narrow street frontages. A few of the houses were architecturally-designed, but most came from pattern books.
