The northern boundary is defined by the southern shore of the Manukau Harbour in the west, and Waiheke Island and the Coromandel Peninsula in the east. The eastern border extends south as far as Waihi Beach, skirts Katikati, and then follows the Kaimai Ranges down toward Matamata. The southern boundary travels west toward Karapiro, proceeds to the south of Te Awamutu, then emerges south of Kawhia on the west coast. The main urban centres and towns within the electorate include Hamilton, Huntly, Ngaruawahia, Pukekohe, Papakura, Matamata, Cambridge, Thames, Whitianga, Te Awamutu, Raglan, and Kawhia. There were no boundary changes for 2014. Between Census 2006 and Census 2013 the Hauraki-Waikato electorate experienced 9.9% population growth, almost double the New Zealand average (5.3%), and the highest rate of growth among the seven Māori electorates. In 2013 the median age of the Māori descent population in Hauraki-Waikato was 23, the lowest- equal median of any Māori electorate, and below the New Zealand median age of 37. Of the Māori descent population aged 15 years and over, 10.8% were unemployed in 2013, up from 7.7% in 2006, and more than double the 2013 figure for the New Zealand population overall (4.5%). The single biggest occupation of those employed in the electorate in 2013 was labourers (16.0%), followed by professionals (15.0%), managers (13.8%), clerical and administrative workers (11.0%), and technicians and trades workers (10.8%). Election results The winning candidate in the 2014 election, Nanaia Mahuta (Labour Party), captured a majority (61.6%) of the 19,803 valid electorate votes cast for candidates in the Hauraki-Waikato electorate. The seat was previously won in 2011 by Nanaia Mahuta (Labour Party) with a margin of 5,935. The Labour Party also captured a plurality (46.5%) of the party votes in Hauraki-Waikato, up 0.4 percentage points on its party vote share in 2011. Turnout (total votes cast as a proportion of enrolled electors) in 2014 was 63.6%.

  • From Privy Council to Supreme Court: a Rite of Passage for New Zealand’S Legal System
    THE HARKNESS HENRY LECTURE FROM PRIVY COUNCIL TO SUPREME COURT: A RITE OF PASSAGE FOR NEW ZEALAND’S LEGAL SYSTEM BY PROFESSOR MARGARET WILSON* I. INTRODUCTION May I first thank Harkness Henry for the invitation to deliver the 2010 Lecture. It gives me an opportunity to pay a special tribute to the firm for their support for the Waikato Law Faculty that has endured over the 20 years life of the Faculty. The relationship between academia and the profession is a special and important one. It is essential to the delivery of quality legal services to our community but also to the maintenance of the rule of law. Harkness Henry has also employed many of the fine Waikato law graduates who continue to practice their legal skills and provide leadership in the profession, including the Hamilton Women Lawyers Association that hosted a very enjoyable dinner in July. I have decided this evening to talk about my experience as Attorney General in the establish- ment of New Zealand’s new Supreme Court, which is now in its fifth year. In New Zealand, the Attorney General is a Member of the Cabinet and advises the Cabinet on legal matters. The Solici- tor General, who is the head of the Crown Law Office and chief legal official, is responsible for advising the Attorney General. It is in matters of what I would term legal policy that the Attorney General’s advice is normally sought although Cabinet also requires legal opinions from time to time. The other important role of the Attorney General is to advise the Governor General on the appointment of judges in all jurisdictions except the Mäori Land Court, where the appointment is made by the Minister of Mäori Affairs in consultation with the Attorney General.

E-whanaungatanga: The role of social media in Māori political engagement A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Development Studies at Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa: Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Joanne Helen Waitoa 2013 Abstract Social media are used increasingly worldwide to connect people and points of view. This thesis explores the role social media can play in enhancing Māori development via political engagement. It investigates the efficacy of using social media to increase Māori political awareness and participation using the Mana Party Facebook pages as a case study. It also examines the opportunities and implications of social media for indigenous development in general. Themes in the literature on social media and indigenous development include: identity politics; language revitalisation and cultural preservation; activism; knowledge management; networking and collaboration; and business and marketing. This qualitative study was informed by Kaupapa Māori and empowerment theories. It involves interviews with the Mana Party president, Mana Party Facebook page moderators, and users of the Mana Party Facebook pages. The interviews explored the objectives and outcomes of using social media to raise political awareness of Māori, finding that Mana Party objectives were met to varying degrees. It also found that social media has both positive and negative implications for indigenous development.
