Wyatt Creech) Finance and Expenditure Transport (Local Authority Works and Services) Bill (Hon. Rob Storey) Communications and Road Safety Local Government Law Reform Bill (Hon. Warren Cooper) Internal Affairs and Local Government Summary of Bills Introduced Electoral Amendment This Bill affects the composition and procedures of the Representation Commission constituted under section 15 of the Electoral Act 1956. Government Superannuation Fund Amendment (No. 2) This Bill defers for 1 year the closure of entry to the superannuation scheme provided for in Part IIA of the Government Superannuation Fund Act 1956 (i.e ., the general scheme for persons employed in the Government Service). 16 MAY NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 1593 The last day for entry to that general scheme was to have been 30 June 1991. That last day will now be 30 June 1992. In addition the Bill repeals the provisions which would have come into force on 1 July 1991 and which would have required the Government to fund, as they accrue, the future liabilities of all superannuation schemes provided for in the Government Superannuation Fund Act 1956. Local Government Law Reform This Bill seeks to amend legislation regarding local government in New Zealand, including: Local Government Act 197 4 Major changes relate to: wards and constituencies of territorial authorities and regional councils; territorial authority and regional council elections and membership; ratepayer electors; local authority annual plans and annual reports; community board elections and membership; application of the Ombudsmen Act 1975 to community boards; conduct of the 1992 triennial general elections; and instalment rating by territorial authorities. Local Elections and Polls Act 197 6 The amendments provide for the preparation of a separate ratepayer electoral roll and a residential electoral roll when every local authority electoral roll is compiled. Local Authorities Loans Act 1956 The Bill provides for voting in loan polls by ratepayers rather than electors. Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 The amendments provide for a change to the public notification of local authority meetings, public inspection of agendas and associated reports before meetings, and the power of local authorities to resolve that certain persons may remain in meetings after the public has been excluded. Rating Powers Act 1988 The amendments include the provision that no local authority may make any rate unless notice of the intention to make the rate has been included in its annual report or the authority has given no less than 14 days public notice. Provisions relating to rates relief for development and the imposition of additional charges on unpaid rates are also included. Valuation of Land Act 1951 The amendment seeks to enable a reasonable charge to be payable not only where a valuation roll is supplied by the Valuer-General to a local authority, but also where a local authority uses the information on the roll to raise revenue. New Zealand Tourism Board The New Zealand Tourism Board Bill establishes the New Zealand Tourism Board and defines its object, functions and powers. The Bill abolishes the New Zealand Tourism Department. The Bill is to come into force on 2 July 1991. Transport (Local Authority Works and Services) The Bill amends the Transit New Zealand Act 1989 and the Local Government Act 1974 to facilitate the provision of minor transport related works and passenger transport services by local authorities. Under the Bill local authorities can receive Transit New Zealand subsidies to carry out minor and ancillary roading works and in-house professional services without the restrictions currently imposed. The Bill further provides for the establishment of local authority trading enterprises for the purpose of providing passenger transport services, but requires the regional council to divest itself of its equity securities and debt securities in the enterprise in accordance with an approved divestment plan. ps4947 Government Notices Post Office Temuka and at the residence of Mrs R.

    IND 1 NEW ZEALAND HANSARD PRECEDENT MANUAL Precedent Manual: Index 16 July 2004 IND 2 ABOUT THIS MANUAL The Precedent Manual shows how procedural events in the House appear in the Hansard report. It does not include events in Committee of the whole House on bills; they are covered by the Committee Manual. This manual is concerned with structure and layout rather than text - see the Style File for information on that. NB: The ways in which the House chooses to deal with procedural matters are many and varied. The Precedent Manual might not contain an exact illustration of what you are looking for; you might have to scan several examples and take parts from each of them. The wording within examples may not always apply. The contents of each section and, if applicable, its subsections, are included in CONTENTS at the front of the manual. At the front of each section the CONTENTS lists the examples in that section. Most sections also include box(es) containing background information; these boxes are situated at the front of the section and/or at the front of subsections. The examples appear in a column format. The left-hand column is an illustration of how the event should appear in Hansard; the right-hand column contains a description of it, and further explanation if necessary. At the end is an index.

  • "Just a Damned Nuisance": New Zealand's Changing Relationship
    “Just a Damned Nuisance” New Zealand’s Changing Relationship with Israel from 1947 until May 2010 By Hannah van Voorthuysen A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in International Relations Victoria University of Wellington 2011 ABSTRACT In 1955, Mr Linton, the Israeli Minister accredited to New Zealand, sent an angry cable home decrying how the New Zealand government seemed to view Israel as if it “were just a damned nuisance, involving New Zealand in complex debating with a certain amount of expenditure within a sphere remote from Dominion interests and apprehensions.” Despite this early criticism from the Israelis, there has been an ongoing level of interest within New Zealand towards the Jewish state that goes beyond what should be expected as the cultural, economic, historic and diplomatic ties between New Zealand and Israel are relatively insignificant. Degrees of closeness between the two states have fluctuated dramatically, from New Zealand’s strong political support of the creation of Israel at the United Nations in 1945, to an adoption of Israel’s kibbutzim model in the 1970s, and culminating in the extraordinary cutting of diplomatic ties in 2004. What explains these dynamic shifts in attitudes? Why has the relationship seen such dramatic shifts throughout the last fifty years? What explains this intense interest from consecutive New Zealand governments, diplomatic staff and the New Zealand public? In this thesis I explore how the relationship is generally shaped by the interest- motivated hand of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, punctuated every now and then by a well-placed individual responding to instinct or passion.
