Number of Electorates and Electoral Populations: 2013 Census Embargoed Until 10:45Am – 07 October 2013
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. In a 120-seat parliament (excluding any overhang seats), a total of 71 electorates will result in 49 list seats being allocated. This is one less list seat than in the 2011 General Election. The Representation Commission can now review the electorate boundaries for the next general election.

The general electoral population quota has increased by 2,488 people for the North Island and by 2,117 people for the South Island. -
AN EXPLORATION INTO WHANGANUI GANG IDENTITY By
PATCHING UP THE DIFFERENCES: AN EXPLORATION INTO WHANGANUI GANG IDENTITY by Feona Jessica Sayles A thesis submitted to the faculty of Humanities and Cultural Studies, Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy January 2021 Copyright © Feona Jessica Sayles 2020 All Rights Reserved i ABSTRACT The District Council (Prohibition of Gang Insignia) Act 2009 (‘Gang Insignia Act 2009’) came into force in 2009 and prohibited the ‘display’ of ‘gang insignia’ within ‘specified areas’ of the Whanganui District. The purported aim of the legislation was to reduce intimidation of the public and confrontations between gangs. There was no requirement for intent on the part of the wearer of the insignia. This made the Whanganui gang insignia ban unique in terms of criminal law as it maintained that harm was inflicted due to group identity rather than specific conduct. This raises the question of how an identity can be constructed so that it is considered capable of causing criminal harm. To address this question, this research looked at the ways in which the media contributed to the construction of gang identity during the period of 2004 to 2013. This was achieved through (1) a content analysis of reports from three print newspapers and two online newspapers, (2) a content analysis of reader interactions with the reports, and (3) a textual analysis of two print newspapers. The research was guided by moral panic theory so looked for ways in which the events related to stages or elements of moral panic. The focus of the moral panic was also expanded so as to explore the overall context operating at the particular time. -

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. -
