  • 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’.

  • Dear Member of Congress, As Your Constituent, I'm Writing to Welcome
    Dear Member of Congress, As your constituent, I'm writing to welcome you to the 114th Congress and send best wishes for the year ahead. As you address our nation’s opportunities and challenges in the new session, I urge you to consider the role that breastfeeding plays in giving mothers and their children important and long-lasting health benefits. These impacts are so substantial that “breastfeeding saves dollars and makes sense,” not just for FAMILIES, but also for EMPLOYERS and the ECONOMY. The great majority of pregnant women and new mothers want to breastfeed, but they face significant barriers in community, health care, and employment settings. While many national initiatives are already underway, you have a critical role to play as well. Thank you for your careful consideration of the following policy priorities you can move forward in the 114th Congress to help support breastfeeding: COMMUNITIES • Increase support for breastfeeding as part of existing community-based programs: e.g., the Women, Infants & Children (WIC) program, home visiting, Healthy Start, community health centers; • Authorize the FDA to regulate confusing and misleading infant formula marketing and labeling practices; • Support establishment of public spaces that are breastfeeding-friendly; HEALTH CARE • Maintain support for the CDC’s maternity care practice improvement initiatives; • Ensure equitable access to and effective implementation of insurance coverage for breastfeeding support and equipment, especially including alignment of Medicaid coverage to existing provisions for private plans and TRICARE; EMPLOYMENT • Extend the existing federal “Nursing Breaks” law to salaried workers and strengthen enforcement; • Establish paid family leave as a self-funded national insurance program that supports workers and businesses; and • Ensure that breastfeeding mothers can’t be fired or discriminated against in the workplace.

  • LEAG Leadership Rules
    APPENDIX B: ELECTION RULES for the PARLIAMENTARY LABOUR PARTY LEADERSHIP ELECTIONS – the principles and key elements of the system. Initially approved by New Zealand Council on August 25th 2013, last revised on October 1st 2014 1. Introduction and definitions This document establishes the principles and essential elements of the election system for the Leader of the Parliamentary Caucus of the New Zealand Labour Party (“the NZLP”), and provides the administrative rules for those elections. These rules are designed to provide certainty for what will happen in any given circumstance. The three sections of the Electoral College are made up of two entities and one grouping, namely the New Zealand Labour Party, the Parliamentary Labour Party (the Caucus) and the various Party affiliates. These three elements of the Electoral College are referred to as the sections through this document. This document is mandated by a series of constitutional amendments passed by the 2012 Annual Conference of the NZLP, summarised as follows: Election of the Leader of the Parliamentary Labour Party – the Leader must be a Member of Parliament; an election for the position of Leader is triggered if there is a vacancy, or if requested by a simple majority of Caucus (at any time), or if the Leader fails to obtain the support of 60% plus 1 of the Caucus membership in a vote held within three months after a General Election (and in February 2013, as a one-off); the Electoral College comprises 40% party members, 40% Caucus (both One Member One Vote), and 20% affiliates (varying voting systems); the first version of administrative rules will be developed by NZ Council, in conjunction with the Caucus, by end 2012.

  • Narrativity and Segmentivity in Contemporary Australian and New Zealand Long Poems and Poem Sequences
    1 NARRATIVITY AND SEGMENTIVITY IN CONTEMPORARY AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND LONG POEMS AND POEM SEQUENCES BY AIRINI JANE BEAUTRAIS A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2016 2 3 Abstract The PhD in creative writing comprises a critical and a creative component. This thesis explores how poets utilise verse form in order to support and/or undermine narrativity in long poems or poem sequences, and asks the question: what possibilities are offered by verse form that distinguish poetry from other literary narrative genres? Using Rachel Blau DuPlessis’s concept of segmentivity, I consider how segmentation at various formal levels, including sections within a book, poems within a sequence, stanzas, line- breaks, and metre, can affect the narrativity of a text. I also consider segmentivity in relation to the ways in which a text may be narrativized, and to the interactions between narrative and other text types such as lyric and argument. The theoretical framework for the critical component involves a synthesis of approaches from within the fields of narrative theory and literary criticism. The methodology used is a close reading and analysis of case study texts by six New Zealand and Australian poets, written in the period 1990-2010: Dorothy Porter’s The Monkey’s Mask (1994) and What a Piece of Work (1999); Alan Wearne’s The Lovemakers (2008); Tusiata Avia’s Bloodclot (2009); Bill Sewell’s Erebus: A Poem (1999) and The Ballad of Fifty-One (2003); Anna Jackson’s The Gas Leak (2006) and John Kinsella’s Divine Comedy: Journeys Through a Regional Geography (2008).

    Members for Every woman? THE CAMPAIGN PROMISES OF WOMEN PARLIAMENTARY CANDIDATES1 WOMEN parliamentary candidates are often the forgotten women of New Zealand women's political history. Much has been written on women's suf- frage,2 the role and activities of women's voluntary organizations,3 women as political party activists,4 and contemporary women MPs.5 The work which has been done on women parliamentary candidates tends to fall into one of two categories — quantitative assessments of the electoral performance of women candidates as a group or biographical accounts of a few individual women.'1 In New Zealand, by contrast to overseas, little qualitative work has been done on the backgrounds and experiences of women candidates as a group.7 Between 1919, the first year in which women could contest a seat in Parliament, and 1969, the last general election in New Zealand before the impact of the second-wave feminist movement began to be felt, 86 women contested seats in the House of Representatives. Between them they accounted for 163 separate candidacies — 45 on behalf of the Labour Party and 40 on behalf of the 1 The author would like to thank Erik Olssen and Barbara Brookes for supervising the original research on which this paper is based.

Eng a mana, e nga reo, e nga iwi o te motu. Tena koutou katoa. Talofa lava, malo e leilei, fakalofa lahi atu, kia orana, taloha ni. Namaste, assalam alicum, niman hou. Warm Pacific greetings. Can I acknowledge and thank Mike Rann, Premier of South Australia, for being with us today. Andrew Little and Moira Coatsworth, President and Senior Vice President of the party. Annette King, deputy leader - and I could not ask for a better one, or a better friend. My wife Mary, whom I fell in love with when I was 18, and my partner since we were teenagers. Too often she shoulders my obligations for me when Iʼm not there. Caucus colleagues, delegates and guests. I want to tell you the story of the woman who taught me why I should be Labour. When I was a child, she told me about the years of the early 1930s, during the Great Depression, when jobs were scarce, money was tight and times were hard for families. She and her husband migrated to New Zealand wanting the same things that have brought so many people to this country – a better life for themselves and their kids. She wanted her kids to learn skills that would ensure they had work. She wanted them to grow up not knowing hunger, homelessness, nor poverty in old age. She hoped that by working hard, they could build a good life for her children and grandchildren.
