    Building Activity On The Rise In Manawatū according to Statistics New Zealand data for October which shows the value of residential building consents in Manawatū is on the increase with residential building consents valued at $25.5 million during the last quarter (end of August) up 13% for the same period last year. Although residential building consents were down 3% in Palmerston North, consents for additions and alterations totalled $2.2 million, which is an increase of 17% compared to the same period last year. Palmerston North Mayor Jono Naylor said that the increase was a sign of recovery in building activity and a big positive for the City and the region. “While the growth in new housing is not happening, residents are choosing to spend money on renovating their homes which is good for local economy.” Graph Source: Manawatu Monthly Economic Update—September 2012 using Stascs NZ data The total Manawatū District residential consent values of $9.4 million in the three months to August, an increase of 45% in the three months to August. Source: Press Release: Palmerston North City Council 2 October 2012 Palmerston North is set to go metropolitan in about five years' time when it is projected to be home to more than 90,000 people. The latest population projections from Statistics New Zealand show the city is the fifth-equal fastest growing area in New Zealand. Mayor Jono Naylor said Palmerston North had already joined Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ's) metropolitan group, as it was already close to the mark at 85,100 and had more issues in common with the major centres than other provincial cities.

    Amendment Bill

    Crimes (Provocation Repeal) Amendment Bill Government Bill As reported from the Justice and Electoral Committee Commentary Recommendation The Justice and Electoral Committee has examined the Crimes (Provocation Repeal) Amendment Bill and recommends that it be passed with the amendments shown. Introduction This bill as introduced proposes to abolish the partial defence of provocation, by repealing sections 169 and 170 of the Crimes Act 1961. Section 169 of the Crimes Act provides that culpable homicide that would otherwise be murder may be reduced to manslaughter if the person who caused the death did so under provocation as defined by the section; section 170 provides that an illegal arrest does not necessarily reduce the offence of murder to manslaughter, but if the offender knows of the illegality then it may be evidence of provoca- tion. 64—2 Crimes (Provocation Repeal) 2 Amendment Bill Commentary Partial defence of provocation abolished We note that the codification of the partial defence of provocation was a reflection of the existing common law partial defence. For the avoidance of doubt, we recommend inserting new clause 5 to make it clear that the common law partial defence would also be abolished by the bill. This would avoid the possibility of defence counsel relying on the defence, so far as it has any effect as a principle of the common law of New Zealand, in cases of culpable homicide. Issues raised in submissions Although we do not recommend amendments as a result of submis- sions we received on the bill, we considered it would be useful to discuss some of the issues that were raised.

    The Mixed Member Proportional Representation System and Minority Representation

    The Mixed Member Proportional Representation System and Minority Representation: A Case Study of Women and Māori in New Zealand (1996-2011) by Tracy-Ann Johnson-Myers MSc. Government (University of the West Indies) 2008 B.A. History and Political Science (University of the West Indies) 2006 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Interdisciplinary Studies In the Graduate Academic Unit of the School of Graduate Studies Supervisor: Joanna Everitt, PhD, Dept. of History and Politics Examining Board: Emery Hyslop-Margison, PhD, Faculty of Education, Chair Paul Howe, PhD, Dept. of Political Science Lee Chalmers, PhD, Dept. of Sociology External Examiner: Karen Bird, PhD, Dept. of Political Science McMaster University This dissertation is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK April, 2013 © Tracy-Ann Johnson-Myers, 2013 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the relationship between women and Māori descriptive and substantive representation in New Zealand’s House of Representatives as a result of the Mixed Member Proportional electoral system. The Mixed Member Proportional electoral system was adopted in New Zealand in 1996 to change the homogenous nature of the New Zealand legislative assembly. As a proportional representation system, MMP ensures that voters’ preferences are proportionally reflected in the party composition of Parliament. Since 1996, women and Māori (and other minority and underrepresented groups) have been experiencing significant increases in their numbers in parliament. Despite these increases, there remains the question of whether or not representatives who ‘stand for’ these two groups due to shared characteristics will subsequently ‘act for’ them through their political behaviour and attitudes.
  • The Ministry of Public Input

    The Ministry of Public Input

    The Ministry of Public Input: Report and Recommendations for Practice By Associate Professor Jennifer Lees-Marshment The University of Auckland, New Zealand August 2014 www.lees-marshment.org [email protected] Executive Summary Political leadership is undergoing a profound evolution that changes the role that politicians and the public play in decision making in democracy. Rather than simply waiting for voters to exercise their judgement in elections, political elites now use an increasingly varied range of public input mechanisms including consultation, deliberation, informal meetings, travels out in the field, visits to the frontline and market research to obtain feedback before and after they are elected. Whilst politicians have always solicited public opinion in one form or another, the nature, scale, and purpose of mechanisms that seek citizen involvement in policy making are becoming more diversified and extensive. Government ministers collect different forms of public input at all levels of government, across departments and through their own offices at all stages of the policy process. This expansion and diversification of public input informs and influences our leaders’ decisions, and thus has the potential to strengthen citizen voices within the political system, improve policy outcomes and enhance democracy. However current practice wastes both resources and the hope that public input can enrich democracy. If all the individual public input activities government currently engages in were collated and added up it would demonstrate that a vast amount of money and resources is already spent seeking views from outside government. But it often goes unseen, is uncoordinated, dispersed and unchecked. We need to find a way to ensure this money is spent much more effectively within the realities of government and leadership.

  • There's Too Much at Stake for Nzers to Stop Fighting for Marriage

    There's Too Much at Stake for Nzers to Stop Fighting for Marriage

    There’s too much at stake for NZers to stop fighting for Marriage. When politicians voted to redefine an age-old institution, it wasn’t just marriage they put at risk. They undermined New Zealand, a society built on the cornerstone of marriage and family stability. By ignoring the voice of the people (again), they also undermined democracy, another cornerstone for our country. But it’s not over. Those of us who believe in the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman can still turn things around come election time. We need to remember how the politicians voted: 44 MPs who stood against 77 MPs responsible for redefining marriage redefining marriage NATIONAL: Amy Adams, Chris Auchinvole, Maggie Barry, David Bennett (changed from 2nd reading), Paula Bennett, Jackie Blue, Cam Calder, David Carter, Judith Say THANK YOU to the politicians who voted Collins, Jacqui Dean, Craig Foss, Aaron Gilmore (new MP), Paul Goldsmith, Jo to protect marriage.
