Jeffrey Weeks' Sex, Politics and Society, provided the inspiration for the project and seemed a suitable model to follow.' However, such a task was clearly beyond the scope of a doctoral thesis and the topic was consequently restricted to an analysis of legislative developments. The result is an examination of the interweaving of feminist, social purity, patriarchal, secularist and medical/scientific discourses on the battlefield of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century sexual legislation. The New Zealand ParliamentGlY Debates have provided much of the source material for this study. Records of the major organisations which spoke on sex issues in this period supplied valuable supplementary material. Records from the Women's Christian Temperance Union, the National Council of Women, the Auckland and Wellington Societies for the Protection of Women and Children and the New Zealand Medical Association have proved particularly valuable sources of information. The support provided by a range of institutions and individuals greatly assisted the research and writing of this thesis. The University of Canterbury and the History Department provided much appreciated financial support. The University'S Doctoral Scholarship covered my living costs and Departmental conference, research and travel grants enabled me to undertake research and engage in debates with other historians outside Christchurch. I am greatly indebted to the Department for the use of an office for the last few years and for the Jeffrey Weeks, Sex, Politics and Society: The Regulation of Sexuality since 1800 (LondonlNew York: Longman, 1994) v encouragement, support and interest shown in my work by members of staff: in particular, Luke Trainor, Graeme Dunstall, David McIntyre, John Cookson, Marie Peters, Vincent Orange and Ian Campbell. The helpfulness of the secretarial staff - Judy Robertson, Pauline Wedlake and Rosemary Russo - on a myriad of administrative and technical details has been very much appreciated. Help given by staff in the following libraries and archives made the research process much less daunting than might otherwise have been the case: the Macmillan Brown Library, University of Canterbury; the Hocken Library, University of Otago; the Otago Medical School Library; the Auckland Institute and Museum Library; the Alexander Turnbull Library and National Archives (Wellington). I am very grateful for the companionship and stimulating conversation provided by fellow postgraduates and research assistants in the History Department. The friendship and support offered by Rosemary Goodyear, Tim Cooper, Adam Claasen, Jean Sharfe, Jo Aitken and Joel Hayward considerably alleviated the stresses and strains associated with writing a thesis. Morning tea debates over history, politics and a host of other subjects provided a welcome balance to my focus on my thesis. My family have, as ever, fully supported my efforts. Many thanks are due to my parents for accommodating me over the past year and to Stephanie and Allan for helping me to keep a sense of perspective in my life. A very special thankyou is due to David whose love, encouragement and patience has been a great source of strength. My greatest debts are owed to my supervisors, Philippa Mein Smith and Chris Connolly. Their belief in my abilities, their constant encouragement and their challenging of my work and thinking has considerably broadened my understanding of what it is to be a historian. Vl ABSTRACT This thesis examines the development of sex legislation in New Zealand between 1880 and 1925. It argues that legislative developments were largely shaped by patriarchal, feminist, social purity, secular and medical/scientific discourses. Chapter I examines the rise of the last four discourses and discusses the growth of the interventionist state. Analysis of changes to marriage laws in Chapters II (Divorce) and III (Incest and In-laws) reveal strong secularist and feminist influences. Secular, feminist and purity discourses converged on the question of equal grounds for divorce but diverged on the issue of further extension of the divorce law. Secularist discourse also intersected with medical/scientific discourse on divorce debates and debates over proposed changes to the prohibited degrees of marTiage. The rise of the medical profession and medical/scientific discourse is a strong theme in Chapters N (Censorship) and V (Prostitution and Venereal Disease). Strong links between purity and medical discourse are revealed in an analysis of New Zealand's censorship laws. However, major tensions between the discourses are apparent in debates over state regulation of prostitution and public health responses to venereal disease. Chapter VI (Sex, Youth and the State) explores the connections between late nineteenth-century childhood and feminist-purity discourses. Attempts to extend the age limits of childhood converged with feminist discourse to produce a mcUor campaign for a higher age of consent for girls. However, feminists' desire to protect girls from men's sexual advances led to more rigorous attempts to control the behaviour of the girls themselves. The controlling and coercive tendencies of early-twentieth century feminism are further developed in Chapter VII (,Degenerates', 'Perverts' and the State). Feminist discourse Vll converged with medical/scientific discourse to produce a new focus upon the 'feeble-minded' female sexual degenerate. Chapter VII also explores the impact of medical/scientific discourses on male sexual deviance. The medicalisation of homosexuality and child sexual abuse led to a reassessment of the best means of controlling or refOlming male sexual offenders. Ultimately it can be concluded that conflicting and converging discourses operating within a climate of major social, ideological and technological change transformed the state regulation of sexuality in New Zealand between 1880 and 1925. INTRODUCTION During debate in 1910 over the Indecent Publications Bill the Attorney-General, Dr lG. Findlay, declared: It has ... been increasingly felt both in New Zealand and elsewhere that the limits of true liberty must be prescribed by the intelligent moral sense of the community as a whole, and that what shocks or violates that intelligent moral sense shall not be permitted in any British community. We have long since seen the necessity for legislating, and legislating with considerable rigour, against what degrades or enfeebles the physical health of our people, and the time has come when we must do as much to protect the moral health of our people. I Throughout the period 1880 to 1925 legislators and reformers debating changes to New Zealand's sex laws juggled the twin issues of moral and physical health alongside questions concerning personal liberty and the State's right to intervene in the private lives of the public. Increased state regulation of sexuality owed much to early concerns about the physical health of the population. However, from the very

    Bromley Cemetery Tour Compiled by Richard L. N. Greenaway June 2007 Block 1A Row C No. 33 Hurd Born at Hinton, England, Frank James Hurd emigrated with his parents. He worked as a contractor and, in 1896, in Wellington, married Lizzie Coker. The bride, 70, claimed to be 51 while the groom, 40, gave his age as 47. Lizzie had emigrated on the Regina in 1859 with her cousin, James Gapes (later Mayor of Christchurch) and his family and had already been twice-wed. Indeed, the property she had inherited from her first husband, George Allen, had enabled her second spouse, John Etherden Coker, to build the Manchester Street hotel which bears his name. Lizzie and Frank were able to make trips to England and to Canada where there dwelt Lizzie’s brother, once a member of the Horse Guards. Lizzie died in 1910 and, two years later, Hurd married again. He and his wife lived at 630 Barbadoes Street. Hurd was a big man who, in old age he had a white moustache, cap and walking stick. He died, at 85, on 1 April 1942. Provisions of Lizzie’s will meant that a sum of money now came to the descendants of James Gapes. They were now so numerous that the women of the tribe could spend their inheritance on a new hat and have nothing left over.

But the sea, though changed in a sinister way, will continue to exist; the threat is rather to life itself." - Rachel Carson , (1907-1964) The Sea Around Us , 1951 ii Abstract In recent years, marine reserves (areas of the sea where no fishing is allowed) have enjoyed increased popularity with scientists and agencies charged with management of ocean and coastal resources. Much scientific literature documents the ecological and biological rationale for marine reserves, but scholars note the most important consideration for successful establishment reserves is adequate involvement of the relevant stakeholders in their designation. Current guidance for proponents of marine reserves suggests that to be successful, reserves should be designated using “bottom-up” processes favouring cooperative management by resource-dependent stakeholders, as opposed to “top-down” approaches led by management agencies and international conservation organizations.

  • 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’.

    He Wahine, He Whenua I Ngaro Ai? Maori Women, Maori Marriage Customs and the Native Land Court, 1865-1909 Inano Walter A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 2017 Created 16/10/2017 ii Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate and identify the effects the Native Land Court and native land legislation had on customary Māori marriage practices from 1865 to 1909. While researchers have produced a variety of important understandings of the court’s role in promoting land loss in Māori society, Māori women’s involvement in the court and its effects upon them is just beginning to be examined. This thesis makes a contribution to Māori women’s history by accounting for the role the Native Land Court and associated land legislation played in reshaping customary Māori marriage practices in nineteenth and early twentieth century New Zealand. Even though native land legislation was one of the key mechanisms by which the state governed Māori land as well as marriage, this connection is rarely examined within the same frame. The Native Land Court is a forum where land and marriage did interact. Focusing on a case study of Ngāti Kahungunu, I situate prominent Māori women in the Native Land Court, and use their experiences to further understandings of how Māori marriage, which is often examined in a pre-European context, was shaped by land title investigations and succession cases. This study was conducted utilising statutes, colonial newspapers and the Napier Minute Books. In the first chapter, this thesis uses ethnographic material to describe and interpret marriage customs prior to European contact, its draws upon missionary understandings of customary marriage upon arrival to Aotearoa, and also traces how colonial law managed marriage prior to the Native Land Court 1865.
