The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. i ‘Defending the High Ground’ The transformation of the discipline of history into a senior secondary school subject in the late 20th century: A New Zealand curriculum debate A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Education Massey University (Palmerston North) New Zealand (William) Mark Sheehan 2008 ii One might characterise the curriculum reform … as a sort of tidal wave. Everywhere the waves created turbulence and activity but they only engulfed a few small islands; more substantial landmasses were hardly touched at all [and]…the high ground remained completely untouched. Ivor F. Goodson (1994, 17) iii Abstract This thesis examines the development of the New Zealand secondary school history curriculum in the late 20th century and is a case study of the transformation of an academic discipline into a senior secondary school subject. It is concerned with the nature of state control in the development of the history curriculum at this level as well as the extent to which dominant elites within the history teaching community influenced the process. This thesis provides a historical perspective on recent developments in the history curriculum (2005-2008) and argues New Zealand stands apart from international trends in regards to history education. Internationally, curriculum developers have typically prioritised a narrative of the nation-state but in New Zealand the history teaching community has, by and large, been reluctant to engage with a national past and chosen to prioritise English history.

  • The Effects of Proportional Representation on Election
    THE EFFECTS OF PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION ON ELECTION LAWMAKING IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND by Joshua Ferrer A Thesis Submitted to the Politics Programme University of Otago in Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts January 2020 ii iii ABSTRACT It is widely recognized that most politicians are self-interested and desire election rules beneficial to their reelection. Although partisanship in electoral system reform is well- understood, the factors that encourage or constrain partisan manipulation of the other democratic “rules of the game”—including election administration, franchise laws, campaign finance, boundary drawing, and electoral governance—has received little scholarly attention to date. Aotearoa New Zealand remains the only established democracy to switch from a non-proportional to a proportional electoral system and thus presents a natural experiment to test the effects of electoral system change on the politics of election lawmaking. Using a longitudinal comparative case study analysis, this thesis examines partisan and demobilizing election reforms passed between 1970 and 1993 under first-past- the-post and between 1997 and 2018 under mixed-member proportional representation (MMP). Although partisan election reforms have not diminished under MMP, demobilizing reforms have become less common. Regression analysis uncovers evidence that partisan election lawmaking is more likely when the effective number of parties in parliament is lower, when non-voters have more leverage, and when reforms are pursued that diminish electoral participation. iv To Arthur Klatsky, with all my love v PREFACE This thesis would not be what it is without the generosity, time, and aroha of countless people. For the sake of the Otago Politics Department’s printing budget, I will attempt to be brief.

  • Māori Equity in New Zealand's Polytechnics
    Māori Equity in New Zealand’s Polytechnics by Khalid Bakhshov A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Auckland University of Technology 2020 Acknowledgements Without the support of colleagues, friends and family it is doubtful that I would have ever reached the end of this doctoral thesis. But, firstly, I must start my thanks with my main supervisor, Dr Georgina Stewart. She patiently guided me through this journey, encouraging me to fully explore my philosophical instincts. In supervision, session after session, she helped me develop a voice in the writing process that was my own. Her constant engagement with philosophy and tireless pursuit of expression led me through challenging self-scrutiny that a thesis inevitably demands. The patient structured support was invaluable to me. I hope she enjoyed the challenge as much as I did. I would also like to express my gratitude to Professor Nesta Devine for her wealth of experience and encouragement from a distance in supporting the supervision process. I would also like to acknowledge the initial support given to me through the University of Auckland, where I started my thesis. Thanks to all my friends in Whangarei, who all supported and encouraged me, as friends do, in pursuing the topic. They gave me, in their very different ways, their insider accounts that spurred me to undertake this study. Thank you, Hamish, Danny and George. At a personal level I will always be grateful for the support of my partner Johan Carvill and her family. Johan has provided me with personal support all the way through the process, putting up with ups and downs and in my final year financially supporting us.

  • The History of Charitable Purpose Tax Concessions in New Zealand: Part 1*
    The History of Charitable Purpose Tax Concessions in New Zealand: Part 1* MICHAEL GOUSMETT Michael Gousmett, FCIS PhD BCom(Hons) BBS DipTchg DipCM, is an independent Charities and Third Sector Researcher, and Founding Trustee of The New Zealand Third Sector Educational Trust CC47402. Just as taxpayers are required to meet their fiscal obligations or else face penalties, so too should those organisations with charitable purposes that benefit from fiscal privileges be required to demonstrate precisely how it is that they have benefitted the community through their activities, being activities that are both directly and indirectly subsidised by the taxpayer. Once charitable status has been granted, we need to go beyond the presumption of charitability to ensure that positive outcomes are being achieved as a consequence of the fiscal privileges available to charities. The nexus between charitable status and fiscal privilege is clear, for without the one the other does not follow. This is the first of a two-part article examining the history of the charitable purposes concession in New Zealand. 1.0 INTRODUCTION In 1767, in Jones v Williams the Lord Chancellor defined charity as “a gift to general public use, which extends to the poor as well as to the rich.”1 Tudor restated Jones in explaining that the Court of Chancery established “that a trust, in order to be charitable, must be of [a] public character, that is, it must be for the benefit of the community or an appreciably important section of the community.”2 Luxton suggests that the concept of public benefit “has for centuries been inherent in the legal concept of charity, and indeed explains equity’s particular tenderness for charitable trusts.”3 Of the Statute of Elizabeth of 1601,4 Jones stated that “[p]ublic benefit was the key to the statute, and the relief of poverty its principle manifestation.”5 Further, 6 Luxton states: * Part 2 of this article is scheduled to appear in the September 2013 issue of the New Zealand Journal of Taxation Law and Policy.
