  • The New Zealand Constitutional Review Charles Chauval
    AUSTRALASIAN STUDY OF PARLIAMENT GROUP Annual Conference, Darwin 3-5 October 2012 “Constitutions – reviewed, revised and adapted” * * * * Paper by New Zealand MPs Charles Chauvel and Louise Upston “The New Zealand Constitutional Review” New Zealand is undertaking a constitutional review which stemmed from the confidence and supply agreement between the National Party and Maori Party after the November 2008 general election. A final report summarising the views of New Zealanders on constitutional issues will be submitted to the Cabinet by the end of 2013 and the Government then has six months in which to respond. A linking project is the Independent Review of MMP being undertaken by the Electoral Commission which will make its final proposals to the Minister of Justice by 31 October 2012. Background A constitution can be seen as the rules about how we live together as a country. Unlike most other countries, New Zealand does not have a law called “The Constitution.” Instead, the rules for how the country is governed are in what is often called an unwritten constitution. Most of it is in fact written down in various laws, rules, and practices - just not in a single document. Important elements of our constitution include: Laws passed by New Zealand‟s Parliament such as the Constitution Act 1986, the Electoral Act 1993 and the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 British laws adopted by New Zealand through the Imperial Laws Application Act 1988, for example the Magna Carta. ASPG: Charles Chauvel MP & Louise Upston MP Darwin, Australia: 3&5 October 2012 Page 1 The powers of our head of state, the Queen (or King) – for example the power to appoint the Governor-General, whose role is established by the Letters Patent Constituting the Office of Governor-General.

  • Simon Lusk's Plan
    CHAPTER 5 SIMON LUSK’S PLAN Simon Lusk had been watching US Republican politics for years and looking for ideas that were applicable to New Zealand. Gradually he put together a plan to move the country’s politics to the right. He laid this out in conver- sations with his close political allies and in a three-page strategy paper that was never intended to be made public. The plan was practical and methodical. The idea was to target candidate selection processes in safe National seats, installing a rump of hard right candi- dates who would influence politics for many years to come. Suitable candidates could also be found and trained for local government elections. At the same time, a pool of younger people would be identified, cultivated and guided into right-wing politics. Each of these groups would be managed and supported by professional strategy advisers, notably Lusk himself. Such figures were familiar in US politics but not in New Zealand. Lusk was also well aware, from his American observations, that the single greatest advantage of right-wing parties and candidates was their ability to greatly outspend their opponents with support from wealthy and corporate donors. Fundraising was central to the plan. Next, the right could dominate the media by the dominance of right-wing blogs: ‘the right currently controls the blogosphere,’ he wrote, ‘and political journalists repeat much of what appears on blogs.’ The blogs were part of the second track of politics available for ‘black ops’ and nega- tive campaigning. Finally, his plan involved ‘weakening the power of those who believe in big government’, meaning deliberate strategies and tactics to margin- alise anyone, even within the National Party itself, who did not hold hard right views.

  • Farah Palmer Cup SATURDAY, 9TH SEPTEMBER, LOGAN PARK 6
    farah palmer cup SATURDAY, 9TH SEPTEMBER, LOGAN PARK 6 OTAGO SPIRIT TASMAN MAKOS v Logan Park 6 Kickoff: 3:00pm Referee: Blair Malcolm AR’s: Joel Hibbs & Andrew Clarkson The Otago Spirit welcome Tasman to Dunedin for their first home game of the 2017, Farah Palmer Cup Campaign when the two teams meet at Logan Park 6. This will be the first encounter between the two teams so expect a tense battle as the sides look for their first win of the season. Otago Spirit will enter the match confident they can come away with the desired result after putting in a spirited display against Canterbury in Round 1. Blockbusting outside back Kilistina Moata’ane moves from the wing to second five and will partner her Pirate team mate Greer Muir in the midfield. North Otago speedsters Cheyenne Cunningham and Catarina Antunes have been selected to start on the wings, if the girls are given any space, it could spell danger for the Tasman defence. Loose forwards Henderson, Mason and Sisifa were nothing short of fantastic against Canterbury, look for them to dominate the ruck where applicable. On the bench school sensations Gemma Millar and Isla Pringle are named and will make their debuts if and when they take the field, whilst outside back Saane Kaufanga, after an impressive club season is also in line to make her debut. Tasman, who pushed Waikato close last week will travel with belief they can leave Dunedin with a victory. Tasman dominated Waikato up front last week, so expect them to employ the same tactics this week against Otago.
