Isolating Madness: Photographs from Seacliff Lunatic Asylum, 1887-1907 Elizabeth Laing For my mum, thank you for taking me to the museum. A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art History Victoria University of Wellington 2014 For my mum, thank you for taking me to the museum. Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the access granted by the Southern District Health Board, and the assistance of staff from the Archives New Zealand branch in Dunedin. I would particularly like to acknowledge Vivienne Cuff, who ably facilitated my research during my visits to the reading room, and patiently responded to all of my subsequent enquiries. As an agreed condition of access, I have concealed the identities of the patients discussed by using pseudonyms. I would like to sincerely thank my supervisor, Geoffrey Batchen, whose conversations and steadfast support inspired this thesis in countless ways. I hope that it meets with his approval. Abstract Frederic Truby King (1858-1938) is an eminent figure in New Zealand history. His name continues to flourish in contemporary society, due in part to its affiliation with the Royal New Zealand Plunket Society. However, the general populace is still relatively unaware of the time that King spent employed as the medical superintendent of Seacliff Lunatic Asylum, on the remote outskirts of Dunedin. The prevailing image of King during this period is of a single-minded physician, whose career was in a state of acceleration towards the establishment of Plunket. -

Number of Electorates and Electoral Populations: 2013 Census Embargoed until 10:45am – 07 October 2013 Key facts The number of electorates will increase from 70 to 71 at the next general election. The number of North Island general electorates will increase from 47 to 48. The number of Māori electorates will remain at seven. The number of general electorates in the South Island is set at 16 by the Electoral Act 1993.

'Hidden Under Many Bushels': Lady
New Zealand Journal of History, 39, 1 (2005) ‘Hidden under many bushels’ LADY VICTORIA PLUNKET AND THE NEW ZEALAND SOCIETY FOR THE HEALTH OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN* Mittie wrote this morning & said V[ictoria]s name & words of wisdom on infants were being quoted in many journals; I’m glad as I’ve looked on for her name in many accounts of welfare meetings & not seen it & thought as usual she was being hidden under many bushels.1 ON 14 MAY 1907 in Dunedin, Dr Truby King founded the New Zealand Society for the Health of Women and Children, now known as the Plunket Society. It was named in honour of Lady Victoria Plunket, wife of the unexceptional Sir William ‘Willie’ Plunket, Governor-General of New Zealand from 1904 to 1910.2 Within 20 years, both King, the Society and its nurses had become international icons of infant welfare and enduring symbols of the strength and might of all things British. The success of the Plunket Society is well known and the organization remains an influential and important New Zealand institution. At one time or another a large majority of New Zealand parents have accessed the Society’s child health services including the Plunket nurse. Its history has also been well served in recent times. Linda Bryder’s book A Voice for Mothers offers a comprehensive and readable history of the Plunket Society, and places it firmly within the history of the voluntary sector in the twentieth century.3 Indeed Bryder states that the Plunket Society is perhaps the ‘most successful voluntary organization’ in New Zealand.4 Phillipa Mein -

NZ Price Index Relative to Peak
Media release 10 February Property value growth rate slows The latest monthly property value index shows that nationwide residential values for January have increased 9.6% over the past year, and 2.2 over the past three months. This means they are now 12.8% above the previous market peak of late 2007. When adjusted for inflation the nationwide annual increase drops slightly to 7.9% and values remain below the 2007 peak by 2.8%. The Auckland market has increased 14.5% year on year and values are 27.2% above the previous peak. When adjusted for inflation values are up 12.6% over the past year and are 9.6% above the 2007 peak. NZ price index relative to peak 115% 110% 105% 100% 95% QV residential peak to index relative market residential QV price 90% 85% Jonno Ingerson, QV.co.nz Research Director said “Property value growth has slowed down in the first month of the year. The January index shows that nationwide values increased 0.3% compared to December, while a month earlier the increase was 1.3%. So while values are still increasing the rate of this increase has slowed considerably." "This pattern of slowing value increases is evident across Auckland also. In most parts of central Auckland the January index shows a slight decrease in values in the last month, while across wider Auckland the rate of growth slowed. Most of the other main centres have also slowed considerably to the point where values were either flat or slightly decreased in the past month." "While this is the first month that values appear to have slowed, and generally we would wait for subsequent months before claiming a trend, the timing does align to the LVR speed limits. -

It was the eighth election conducted under the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system that was used first for the 1996 election. Following the counting of special votes and the release of the official results, there are five political parties and 120 members represented in the 52nd Parliament.
