  • What Makes a Good Prime Minister of New Zealand? | 1 Mcguinness Institute Nation Voices Essay Competition
    NATION VOICES ESSAY COMPETITION What makes a good About the author Brad is studying towards a BCom/ Prime Minister of BA majoring in Economics, Public Policy, International New Zealand? Relations and Political Science. He is a 2016 Brad Olsen Queen’s Young Leader for New Zealand after his work with territorial authorities, central government organizations and NGOs. He’s passionate about youth voice and youth participation in wider society. Leadership is a complex concept, necessitating vast amounts of patience, determination, and passion to work with others towards a position of improvement in the chosen field of expertise or service. Leaders not only bear the burden of setting the direction of actions or inactions for their team, but are also often accountable to stakeholders, with varying degrees of accountability and size of the cohort to which a leader is accountable. However, there is no more complex job in existence than the leadership of a country like New Zealand — this burden falls squarely on the Prime Minister, in charge of policy both foreign and domestic, all the while totally accountable to each and every citizen in his or her realm. Unsurprisingly, some make a better fist of it than others, with the essence of this good leadership a highly sought commodity. Three areas are critical to ensuring a Prime Minister can effectively lead — a measurement of how ‘good’ they are at their job — these fall under the umbrellas of political, social, and economic leadership ability. Politically, Prime Ministers must have foreign credibility, alongside the ability to form a cohesive support team. Socially a Prime Minster must not only recognize and promote popular ideas, but must also be relatable in part to the people.

  • Institute of Commonwealth Studies
    University of London INSTITUTE OF COMMONWEALTH STUDIES INTERVIEW WITH MATTHEW NEUHAUS SO: Sue Onslow (Interviewer) MN: Matthew Newhaus (Respondent) SO: This is Dr Sue Onslow talking to Mr Matthew Neuhaus, Australian Ambassador in Zimbabwe, at Senate House on 5th June, 2013. Matthew, thank you very much indeed for coming to talk to me. Please, I wondered if you could begin by saying, how did your interest and engagement with things Commonwealth begin? MN: My real engagement with the Commonwealth began in late ‘85/1986 when I did my MPhil in International Relations at Cambridge University. I chose as my topic the negotiation of Zimbabwe’s independence and particularly the Commonwealth role in that, especially through the Lusaka CHOGM and the subsequent Lancaster House negotiations where the Commonwealth’s role has often being rather undersold, but was actually quite important. And recently I had the privilege of a breakfast with Andrew Young, in which we recalled that engagement as well. But the other reason for doing the subject at the time, was that I was someone who had spent a lot of my childhood in Africa and had already had my first diplomatic posting in Kenya at the time. But the reason for picking on Zimbabwe was more because of the lessons that could be learnt from that, from the bigger issue of South Africa at the time. And indeed subsequently, when I returned to Canberra, I did write a paper on that, and I do believe that there has always been quite a nexus between developments in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe and South Africa.

    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.

  • New Zealand Memorial Museum Trust - Le Quesnoy
    A P R I L 2 0 2 1 NEWSLETTER OF THE NEW ZEALAND MEMORIAL MUSEUM TRUST - LE QUESNOY Visiting war graves anywhere in the world is always a sombre experience and especially so on Anzac Day. When travelling in my former roles as Foreign Minister or Commonwealth Secretary-General, I would always ensure that I could participate in a service wherever I was with other Kiwis, and our Aussies mates. For my generation, many of us with fathers who fought in WWII, going to dawn services was just part of life. Then, along came the Vietnam War and, for a while, those services became something many people avoided and even the subject of protest. But observance has picked up and increased year after year for the last two or so decades and at one stage, the numbers of young Kiwis and Aussies overwhelmed the beaches of Gallipoli on Anzac Day to the extent that the service had to be shifted. Young people want to know about this history and we owe it to them to make it accessible. That is why we exist as a Trust - to establish the New Zealand Memorial Museum at Le Quesnoy so that we, and future generations of New Zealanders, really do remember and honour the terrible price paid for today’s freedoms and continue to strive for enduring peace. Sir Don McKinnon - Chair New Zealand Memorial Museum Trust 1 FUNDRAISING UPDATE The Lindsay Foundation have also recently partnered with the project to become our Major Funding Partner. With Brendan and Jo Lindsay also having a connection to Cambridge through Cambridge Stud, this small Waikato town truly has a very tangible connection to its sister city in Le Quesnoy.

    Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies MULTILATERALISM AND MULTICULTURALISM the Commonwealth in the twenty-first century a lecture given in the Examination Schools, Oxford on 23 October 2002 by The Rt. Hon. Mr Don McKinnon Commonwealth Secretary-General Dr Nizami, Director of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies; Dr Rowett, Warden of Rhodes House; distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen: It is a great pleasure to be with you in Oxford this evening, and I am very grateful to Dr Nizami and Dr Rowett for inviting me to share some thoughts with you today. Coming to a place like Oxford is always an inspiring experience. The enormous intellectual tradition of this city of dreaming spires is also humbling for most of us. I am particularly pleased that this invitation came jointly from the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies and from Rhodes House, two outstanding institutions, both of which are major forums for cultural diversity and the promotion of peace and understanding among nations. Over the past fifteen years, the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies has played a major role in promoting knowledge of the Islamic world. Through research, scholarship and debate, it has been a guiding light for those who seek to understand Islam and its rich and varied heritage and to promote a true dialogue of cultures. The Commonwealth Distinguished Visiting Lectureship, established three years ago, plays an increasingly important role in this dialogue and I am pleased to learn that this year’s Commonwealth Visiting Lecturer will be Mrs Sonia Gandhi. Next year, the Rhodes Trust will be celebrating its first centenary.
