    Rethinking Arboreal Heritage for Twenty-First-Century Aotearoa New Zealand

    NATURAL MONUMENTS: RETHINKING ARBOREAL HERITAGE FOR TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND Susette Goldsmith A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2018 ABSTRACT The twenty-first century is imposing significant challenges on nature in general with the arrival of climate change, and on arboreal heritage in particular through pressures for building expansion. This thesis examines the notion of tree heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand at this current point in time and questions what it is, how it comes about, and what values, meanings and understandings and human and non-human forces are at its heart. While the acknowledgement of arboreal heritage can be regarded as the duty of all New Zealanders, its maintenance and protection are most often perceived to be the responsibility of local authorities and heritage practitioners. This study questions the validity of the evaluation methods currently employed in the tree heritage listing process, tree listing itself, and the efficacy of tree protection provisions. The thesis presents a multiple case study of discrete sites of arboreal heritage that are all associated with a single native tree species—karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus). The focus of the case studies is not on the trees themselves, however, but on the ways in which the tree sites fill the heritage roles required of them entailing an examination of the complicated networks of trees, people, events, organisations, policies and politics situated within the case studies, and within arboreal heritage itself. Accordingly, the thesis adopts a critical theoretical perspective, informed by various interpretations of Actor Network Theory and Assemblage Theory, and takes a ‘counter-’approach to the authorised heritage discourse introducing a new notion of an ‘unauthorised arboreal heritage discourse’.
  • A Diachronic Study of Unparliamentary Language in the New Zealand Parliament, 1890-1950

    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’.

Only with experience of the operation of such measures do doubts arise.

    1 Talk for Waikanae U3A Kaleidoscope, 19th October 2020 Te Oka - Pākehā Kaumātua The Life of Jock McEwen Book cover 2 How did I come to be part of Jock McEwen’s family? In the late 1950s my mother, Peg Fleming, and another friend in the Federation of University Women, Marie Head, decided they would like to get to know some of the Maori women who had moved to Wellington to find work. So they started a group they called the Maori-Pakeha Group, together with members of the local Maori Women’s Welfare League, many of whom also belonged to the Ngati Poneke Maori club. In 1963 they held a joint meeting in the Ngati Poneke hall and Mum asked me to write out some posters to advertise it. That was when I first heard the name ‘Jock McEwen’, who was to be the speaker. The next year I met his son Andrew at university. Andrew’s mother invited me to dinner with my parents, after which both our mothers encouraged our relationship which might be why we have been happily married for fifty-four years. In his old age Jock told me he enjoyed the biography I wrote about my own father, Charles Fleming but I had not thought of writing about Jock until his tangi at Upper Hutt’s Orongomai Marae. That was when I really appreciated that this man was no ordinary human being. So how did I go about the task? 3 As well as interviewing people who had known Jock, I had access to four wonderful sources of written and tape-recorded information.

    TAXING AND PLEASING: THE RHETORIC AND REALITY OF VERTICAL EQUITY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW ZEALAND INCOME TAX ON EMPLOYEES, 1891 TO 1984 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Canterbury by Robert J. Vosslamber University of Canterbury 2010 ii NOTE NEW ZEALAND CURRENCY New Zealand adopted decimal currency from 1 July 1967. Previously, New Zealand‘s currency was as follows: One pound (£1) equaled 20 shillings (20s.) One shilling equaled 12 pence (12d.) On adoption of decimal currency, section 5(4) of the Decimal Currency Act 1964 provided that: One pound (£1) equaled two dollars ($) One shilling (1s.) equaled 10 cents (c) 5 One penny (1d.) equaled /6 cent. To convert amounts denominated in pounds to dollars, multiply by two. iii ABSTRACT Taxation equity may be classified into horizontal equity, where people who are in the same economic position should be taxed the same, and vertical equity, where those who differ economically should be treated differently. In the New Zealand income tax, the vertical equity norm has primarily been achieved by progressive tax rates, and by family-friendly adjustments. Given that the income tax intentionally discriminates between taxpayers on the basis of taxpayer- specific characteristics such as income level and domestic situation, the question arises as to how the New Zealand income tax in its successive manifestations has been justified as fair; that is, what vertical equity in the New Zealand income tax looked like and how it was justified. This thesis considers the practice of the New Zealand income tax since its introduction in 1891 until 1984.
