  • FROM POTHOLES to POLICY: How Invercargill City Council Informs Itself Of, and Has Regard To, the Views of All of Its Communities
    FROM POTHOLES TO POLICY: How Invercargill City Council informs itself of, and has regard to, the views of all of its communities Janette Malcolm School of Geography, E nvironment and Earth Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington Wellington, ew Zealand Submitted in partial fulfilment of the Master of D evelopment Studies D egree JULY 2008 Abstract In the 1990s, governments in the Western world were seeking solutions to the economic and social dysfunction resulting from a decade of pure neo-liberal policies. Increased inequalities in the distribution of wealth, the promotion of individualism at the expense of community and citizens feeling alienated from government had become critical problems, nowhere more so than in New Zealand. A solution that has been adopted is to reconnect government at all levels with citizens and the civic sector. The good governance agenda proposed increased transparency and accountability of government to citizens, and a new role for citizens as participants and partners. It became the foundation for a fundamental reform of local government in New Zealand, resulting in the Local Government Act 2002. However, the acquisition of a right to participate does not necessarily lead to knowledge of that right and the capacity to exercise it on the part of citizens: nor the willingness to allow it on the part of government. There are also more general questions about the exercise of power, about representation and about whose voices are heard. This thesis, through a case study of Invercargill City Council, a local government authority in Southland, New Zealand, examines these issues relating to citizen participation and the extent to which the Council has been able to create an environment and processes that enable all of its communities to participate.

  • 2017 New Zealand Country Report | SGI Sustainable Governance
    New Zealand Report André Kaiser, Raymond Miller, Aurel Croissant (Coordinator) Sustainable Governance Indicators 2017 G etty Im ages/iStockphoto/ZC Liu Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators SGI 2017 | 2 New Zealand Report Executive Summary The current National Party-led government, formally a minority government, has generally been able to command a legislative majority having negotiated confidence and supply agreements with three smaller parties, the Maori Party (two seats), United Future (one seat) and the ACT Party (one seat). In early December 2016, shortly after the end of the review period for the SGI 2017, Prime Minister and National Party leader John Key, who had served as head of government since 2008, announced that he would step down. Shortly thereafter, reviously Deputy Prime Minister Bill English(2008-2016), assumed office on 12 December 2016. Throughout the review period, New Zealand performed well with regard to indicators of governance capacity, policy performance and quality of democracy. New Zealand’s democratic system is based on a unicameral parliament, working rule of law, strong executive and effective government. The system is healthy and stable. Despite an ongoing debate about adopting a written constitution, the fundamental structure and operation of governance reflects a fundamental continuity. The country’s commitment to economic freedom is reflected in its leading position in the World Bank’s 2016 Doing Business report. According to the report, New Zealand provides the world’s best protection for investors. In addition, the country is one of the safest countries in the Asia-Pacific region and a “low-risk environment for business investment.” Political reforms implemented over recent decades have created a policy framework that demonstrates impressive economic resilience.

    New Zealand Report André Kaiser, Raymond Miller, Aurel Croissant (Coordinator) Sustainable Governance Indicators 2018 © vege - stock.adobe.com Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators SGI 2018 | 2 New Zealand Report Executive Summary Throughout much of the period under review, New Zealand’s center-right National Party led government as the largest party in a formally minority government. Generally able to command a legislative majority, the National Party negotiated confidence and supply agreements with three smaller parties, the Maori Party (two seats), United Future (one seat) and the ACT Party (one seat). In early December 2016, shortly after the end of the review period for the SGI 2017, Prime Minister and National Party leader John Key, who had served as head of government since 2008, announced that he would step down. He was succeeded by Bill English, who had previously served as Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister. In February 2017, English announced that there would be a general election on 23 September. Although the National Party won the highest proportion of votes, two of its three support parties failed to win parliamentary seats, leaving the New Zealand First Party leader, Winston Peters, holding the balance of power. Instead of endorsing the more favored National Party, Peters decided to form a coalition government with Labour, while the Green Party offered legislative support from the cross- benches. The new prime minister under this three-party arrangement is the 37- year-old Labour leader, Jacinda Ardern, who is the youngest New Zealand prime minister in modern times. Throughout the review period, New Zealand performed well with regard to indicators of governance capacity, policy performance and quality of democracy.

  • Barry Crump: a Bibliography Rowan Gibbs
    1 Barry Crump: a bibliography Rowan Gibbs This bibliography aims to list everything by Barry Crump and most things about him. As well as my own collection of books, periodicals and newspaper clippings on New Zealand literature I have enjoyed access to the resources of the National Library of New Zealand, the Alexander Turnbull Library, the Parliamentary Library, and Wellington City Library, and I have sneaked into Victoria University Library. These have been supplemented by other reference sources, notably the online University of Auckland Library 'New Zealand Literature File', Index New Zealand, the New Zealand Biographies file at National Library, the Electric Library Australasia, and Te Puna and other online library databases and catalogues. I have also had personal communications from librarians and others in New Zealand and overseas. I have not made contact with Crump's close associates nor with his biographer Colin Hogg, whose A Life in Loose Strides (H313 below) has been of great assistance, despite the frustration of its dearth of references to sources. I have made an effort to sight all the material here; however a few items taken from reliable sources but unseen are noted as such. All editions and impressions of Crump's books have been recorded, together with the reappearance in omnibus and collected editions of books, sections of books, and stories. But Crump was not only a great reprinter, he was a frequent and effective recycler of his own material, sometimes shuffling the original order or incorporating his short stories into his novels. To help identify such recycling, titles of chapters (which are often self-contained sketches) in the novels are given here in addition to titles of short stories.
