Title and Declaration
DEVELOPING DECENT WORK CONDITIONS: A STUDY OF EMPLOYMENT LAW REFORM FROM VANUATU by Anita Jowitt A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © 2015 by Anita Jowitt, School of Law The University of the South Pacific November 2015 DECLARATION ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to my supervisor Miranda Forsyth. Thank you to people who took the time to comment on drafts, especially Howard Van Trease and Ted Hill. A number of people helped to make sure this was completed. Thank you to Robert Early, Howard Van Trease, John Lynch, Kenneth Chambers and Tess Newton Cain. This thesis was initially conceived following a conversation with the then Director of the Suva Office of the International Labour Organisation, Werner Blenk in 2009. It had been almost entirely written by January 2012, and was initially submitted in December 2012. Since the bulk of the work was completed I have had the privilege of using my academic work practically as a member of the Vanuatu Tripartite Labour Advisory Council. I have the greatest respect for all the people who have worked, and continue to work practically on employment law reforms in Vanuatu, including colleagues on the Vanuatu Tripartite Labour Advisory Council, International Labour Organisation advisors, members of the Vanuatu Chamber of Commerce and Industry and trade union representatives. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to take work done to meet academic requirements and use parts of it in practice, hopefully for the benefit of all. i ABSTRACT In November 2008 the Vanuatu parliament passed a Bill to amend the Employment Act [Cap 160] (the 2008 reform), which significantly increased benefits for employees. -
Cult and Culture: American Dreams in Vanuatu1
PACIFIC STUDIES Vol. IV, No. 2 Spring 1981 CULT AND CULTURE: AMERICAN DREAMS IN VANUATU1 by Monty Lindstrom During the recent and troubled independence of Vanuatu, marred by se- cessionist attempts on two of its islands (Tanna and Santo), an “American connection” attracted international attention. This connection consisted of an idealized conception of America entertained by certain ni-Vanuatu (people of Vanuatu) and of a number of links between political organiza- tions in both countries, A singular concept of America as supreme source of Western material goods, knowledge and power, for example, has been a basic tenet of the John Frum Movement on the island of Tanna. John Frum, unusual for its longevity among South Pacific social movements, is one of those phenomena generally described as “cargo cults” (Worsley 1968, Burridge 1969). One of the factors sustaining the John Frum cult during the past forty years is the special relationship it claims with the United States. This relationship originated in a Tannese-American inter- action during 1942 to 1946 when the United States government estab- lished large military supply bases in the New Hebrides. The John Frum cult has evolved over the years through a number of organizational and ideological phases. The most recent of these was the participation by cult members in a revolt during May and June 1980 against the soon-to-be independent government of Vanuatu. This seces- sionist attempt on Tanna, and a companion one on the northern island Santo by members of a second organization called Nagriamel, received at 1Vanuatu, once the New Hebrides, achieved its independence on 30 July 1980. -

A BATILE for CULTURAL Hegefojy on TANNA1 David J
88 KASTO'1 VERSUS CROSS: A BATILE FOR CULTURAL HEGEfOJY ON TANNA1 David J. Richardson Highlighted by rebellion, punctuated by violence, the transition from the Anglo-French Condominium of the New Hebrides to the independent Republic of Vanuatu was complicated, turbulent and passionate. To understand the reasons for the deep divisions surfacing with Vanuatu's emergence in 1980, it is helpful to look to the past. On the eve of independence, open rebellion threatened to undermine the integrity of the central government of the ruling Vanua'aku Party, an anglophone party led by Walter lini, an Ang'lican Priest. On 28 May 1980, Jimmy Stevens, leader of the indigenous movement known as Nagriamel, proclaimed the establishment of the Vemarana Federation on Espiritu Santo, the largest island in the archipelago. This secessionist attempt was supported by settlers of French ancestry, the French Residency and a group of free-enterprise fanatics from the United States known as the Phoenix Foundation. The rebellion on Santo lasted until 31 August, put down by troops from Papua new Guinea at the request of the central government of Vanuatu, which became officially independent on 30 July 1980. Elsewhere in the archipelago,on Tanna, another rebellion was staged. On 15 February 1980, during celebrations at Sulphur Bay, headquarters of the John Frum movement - a movement which began as a cargo cult and later became institutionalized as a church and political party - the flags of France and the United States were hoisted. Also raised was the flag of the newly proclaimed TAFEA Federation, taking its name from the first letters of the islands making it up: Tanna, Aniwa, 89 Futuna, Erromanga, and Aneityam •. -
Vanuatu's 2008 Election
Number 1/2009 Briefing Note Vanuatu’s 2008 Election - Difficulties of Government Formation in a Fractionalized Setting Three months after the 2nd September 2008 Vohor, leader of the opposition Union of Moderate election, Vanuatu was still without a stable Parties (UMP), switched allegiance and joined government. In the wake of the September polls, the VP/NUP alliance, backing Natapei as Prime there was intense manoeuvring by the major parties Minister. That accommodation, however, contained involving accusations of ‘member stealing’ and the seeds of its own undoing. To accommodate Vohor allegations of the exchange of large sums of money to secure support. A government led by Edward Natapei was formed on September 22 based upon a coalition between the Vanua’aku Pati (VP) and the National United Party (NUP). With a slim 27 to 25 majority in the country’s 52 seat Parliament, the new government immediately faced a succession of ‘no confidence’ challenges, each moved by frustrated opposition MPs who had missed out on positions in cabinet. Maxime Carlot Korman - Leader of the Opposition (VRP) and the UMP with offers of ministerial portfolios, the government dropped some members of the VP and NUP from cabinet. Four rebelled, and joined with the opposition to table another ‘no-confidence’ motion. By 26th of November, when the consequent vote was held, three had returned to the governing coalition. Together with several independents, they enabled Natapei’s government to survive its second Ham Lini on the left (NUP - Deputy PM) and Edward Natapei on the right (VP - Prime Minister) challenge. Two days later, a third ‘no confidence’ motion was tabled. -

Politik Is Poison
POLITIK IS POISON: The politics of memory among the Churches of Christ in northern Vanuatu. Michael G. Morgan A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Australian National University 22 August 2003 i This thesis represents the results of my own research. Where I have drawn on the work of others, due recognition has been made. The text is not longer than 100,000 words. Michael G. Morgan ii ABSTRACT This thesis is an exploration of the ways in which past and present Churches of Christ worshippers from northern Vanuatu reflect on politik (Bislama: politics, political action but also much more). To comprehend what this term means to local people in Vanuatu, we must be aware of the contexts in which it is used, the events and relationships that are its exemplars and the local political economies of historical knowledge that inflect its meanings. To this end, this thesis explores the origins of politik as described by my interlocutors through oral histories about the interplay between their church, state institutions and Nagriamel, a traditionalist movement which emerged on Santo in 1967 and spread quickly throughout the northern New Hebrides. Through an examination of the content of these spoken histories, this thesis suggests that politik is seen to have corroded the unity of pre-existing social groups, such as the church, which is considered by its adherents to be indigenous. As a contingent state of democracy, politik describes the unwanted aspects of modernity and nationhood based on the perceived emergence of hierarchies between indigenous people in the post-colonial state of Vanuatu. -
