St John Prior and Governor-General This anniversary year has provided of New Zealand many opportunities for celebration of the selfless efforts of St John people throughout our history. My wife Susan and I were delighted to attend some of the celebration events, including Future Care 2010 and the Investiture in Christchurch in May.

When Reverend Thomas Flavell first established St John in New Zealand in 1885 a newspaper report said the objective of the newly formed St John branch was: “to render assistance to sufferers from accident, or wounds, in time of peace or war.” St John has continued to pursue this objective and has developed into an innovative and large national organisation. Those who served before us would, I am sure, be very proud to see the wide range of services St John provides today. 2 > REPORT OF thE CHAncELLOR In my time here I have been really impressed and humbled by the dedication and commitment of St John members.

Greetings, Kia Ora, Kia Orana, Fakalofa Lahi Atu, Taloha Ni and as it is the morning (Sign).

Thank you for the invitation to give this public lecture for the Faculty of Law. Before beginning, I want to welcome you, Professor Morse, in your new role as Dean of Uni- versity of Waikato’s Faculty of Law. With your previous experience at the University of Ottawa in Canada and your considerable scholarship in indigenous law in Canada, you bring to New Zea- land a valuable perspective on our country, on particular issues relating to Mäoridom.1 I wish you well in your role. You join the University at a time when it has come of age – and is celebrating the 20th anniver- sary of the establishment of the Faculty.

I understand the Faculty’s Mäori name, Te Piringa, was provided by the late Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu, the then Mäori Queen. Translated as “the coming together of people”, it links the Faculty to the manawhenua of Waikato-Tainui.

  • Demography, Diaspora and Diplomacy: New Zealand's Asian
    New Zealand Population Review, 36: 137-157. Copyright © 2010 Population Association of New Zealand Demography, Diaspora and Diplomacy: New Zealand’s Asian Challenges ANDREW BUTCHER * Abstract This policy note takes a long-term view of the challenges New Zealand may face in its relationship with Asia, both domestically and internationally. Drawing on research commissioned by the Asia New Zealand Foundation, the paper discusses three main areas. First, demographic changes present challenges for New Zealand’s bicultural relations, social policy, how we measure and understand ethnicity and issues of national identity. Second, New Zealand has one of the largest diaspora populations in the world, but this is largely ignored in policy especially with respect to Asia. Third, possible diplomatic challenges are outlined, including increased pressure on off-shore diplomatic posts by diaspora and tourist populations, diplomatic incidents, and the implications of shifting regional power arrangements in the Asia-Pacific region. Introduction n surveying a growing ‘Asian New Zealand’ population and New Zealand’s future in Asia, this article considers three themes: Idemographic changes, diaspora opportunities and diplomatic challenges. This paper follows Statistics New Zealand in identifying the Asian region as the part of the world that extends from Pakistan in the west to Indonesia in the east. It includes South Asia but excludes West Asia (the Middle East), Russia and its former states, and some countries that are on the Pacific Rim (such as the United States, Australia and New Zealand, which are all considered part of a broad ‘Asia-Pacific area in some forums such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the East Asia Summit).

  • New Zealand Relations India and New
    India - New Zealand Relations India and New Zealand have cordial and friendly relations rooted in the linkages of Commonwealth, parliamentary democracy and the English language. The two countries have been fellow travelers in their commitment to disarmament, global peace, North-South Dialogue, human rights, ecological preservation and combating international terrorism. People-to-people contacts have been in focus since migration from India to this country began at the turn of the last century, and a sizeable population of Indian origin (estimated about 175,000) has made New Zealand its permanent home. Tourism and sporting links, particularly in cricket, hockey and mountaineering, have played a significant role in fostering goodwill between the two countries. Bilateral relations were established in 1952 between India and New Zealand. NZ has identified India as a priority country in its “Opening Doors to India” policy notified in October 2011 which was reiterated by NZ in 2015. Mr. Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi, NZ Member of Parliament of Indian origin was honoured with the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award by the Hon’ble Vice-President of India on 9th January, 2015 at Gandhinagar, Gujarat. This Award was conferred upon him for his immense contribution in the field of public service and for fostering ties between India and New Zealand. Visit of Hon’ble President of India to New Zealand: Hon’ble President of India paid a State visit to New Zealand from April 30 to May 2, 2016. Hon’ble President was given a ceremonial welcome by the Governor General of New Zealand followed by a State Banquet.
