  • Institutional Racism and the Dynamics of Privilege in Public Health
    Institutional Racism and the Dynamics of Privilege in Public Health A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management at The University of Waikato by HEATHER ANNE CAME _____________________________________ 2012 ABSTRACT Institutional racism, a pattern of differential access to material resources and power determined by race, advantages one sector of the population while disadvantaging another. Such racism is not only about conspicuous acts of violence but can be carried in the hold of mono-cultural perspectives. Overt state violation of principles contributes to the backdrop against which much less overt yet insidious violations occur. New Zealand health policy is one such mono- cultural domain. It is dominated by western bio-medical discourses that preclude and under-value Māori,1 the indigenous peoples of this land, in the conceptualisation, structure, content, and processes of health policies, despite Te Tiriti o Waitangi2 guarantees to protect Māori interests. Since the 1980s, the Department of Health has committed to honouring the Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of Māori-settler relationships and governance arrangements. Subsequent Waitangi Tribunal reports, produced by an independent Commission of Inquiry have documented the often-illegal actions of successive governments advancing the interests of Pākehā3 at the expense of Māori. Institutional controls have not prevented inequities between Māori and non-Māori across a plethora of social and economic indicators. Activist scholars work to expose and transform perceived inequities. My research interest lies in how Crown Ministers and officials within the public health sector practice institutional racism and privilege and how it can be transformed.

  • Did Muldoon Really 'Go Too Slowly' with CER?
    New Zealand Journal of History, 41, 2 (2007) Did Muldoon really ‘go too slowly’ with CER?1 CONVENTIONAL WISDOM HAS IT that the Australia New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Trade Agreement 1983 (CER) came into existence ‘despite’ rather than ‘because of’ Robert Muldoon, New Zealand’s Prime Minister and Minister of Finance from 1975 to 1984, who was not much interested in the arrangement.2 The perception is that Muldoon stalled the process, confounding the efforts of policy innovators who were keen for New Zealand to deregulate. Commonly, the subsequent neoliberal experiment of Rogernomics is justified in terms of Muldoon’s failure to adjust to transformed global realities. Implicit in this view is the assumption that Muldoon, the arch- regulator, could not be responsible for what is widely praised as the world’s most successful and ‘most comprehensive free trade agreement’.3 This article tests the conventional wisdom against archival sources about the negotiation of CER. It has two launching points: my previous work that argues that CER confounds any analysis of the Muldoon era as solely associated with controls and big government; and second the idea that CER is consistent with a historical pattern of long-term aspirations for trans-Tasman economic arrangements.4 The critical archival sources surrounding CER were published in a volume compiled jointly by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of CER.5 In this first historical analysis of these trans- Tasman documents, I argue that the primary evidence reveals Muldoon to have been a consistent supporter of CER negotiations and a critical participant in decision-making.

  • Kiwi Keith: a Biography of Keith Holyoake
    REVIEWS (BOOKS) 103 Kiwi Keith: A Biography of Keith Holyoake. By Barry Gustafson. Auckland University Press, Auckland, 2007. viii, 429pp. NZ price: $59.95. ISBN 978-1-86940-400-0. THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE and eminently readable biography which will confirm the view of those who, like this reviewer, rate Keith Holyoake highly among New Zealand’s twentieth-century Prime Ministers. Keith Holyoake’s early life and career are covered briefly. His rural upbringing is not sentimentalized, and the early promise of his first period in Parliament is noted. I would have liked a little more on the beginnings of Holyoake’s relationship with Norma Ingram; she emerges through brief references as forceful and down to earth. There is a full discussion of the deal by which Holyoake secured his Pahiatua farm; the purchase price was not far short of a million dollars in today’s terms and Holyoake had to find only a sixth of it. Although not exactly improper, it is clear that Holyoake was not averse to mixing business and politics. His long association with A.E. Davy is also hard to reconcile with the image of the benign centrist. The discussion of the Holland administration and Holyoake’s part in it is a prelude to the long premiership. Holyoake was a successful and competent Minister of Agriculture, and his instincts in 1951 were a little more conciliatory than Sidney Holland’s and William Sullivan’s. I would have liked more on the broad approach of that administration; apart from Holland’s last disastrous year there is little on Holyoake as Deputy Prime Minister.

Sadly, during that time Kath died and Wendy left the Peace Foundation. Now, in 2018, as I head towards formal retirement, it falls to me as one of the few original Peace Foundation members with an historical overview of the organisation, and the draft documents and photos still on my computer system, to edit and publish this history online for future generations. My understanding is that a University of Auckland MA student, Martin Wilson, did the primary research and helped draft chapters during 1994-5. He sought input from a range of members around the country. The draft was not completed in places, so I have tried to fill in the gaps using my fairly extensive Christchurch Peace Foundation archives.

  • Dead Beef and Live Soldiers: Lyndon Johnson, Keith Holyoake, and U.S
    Dead Beef and Live Soldiers Lyndon Johnson, Keith Holyoake, and U.S.-New Zealand Relations in the 1960s NICHOLAS EVAN SARANTAKES The focus of this article is the “friendship” between Lyndon Johnson, presi- dent of the United States, and Keith Holyoake, prime minister of New Zealand, and how it influenced the diplomatic relationship their two coun- tries had with one another. Johnson and Holyoake were the masters of their political systems and dominated the political life of their countries in the 1960s. With similar rural backgrounds and professions, they understood one another and treated the foreign policy of their two countries as a series of po- litical deals. Johnson’s most important concern was garnering support for the United States’ initiative in Vietnam, while Holyoake wanted to make sure that New Zealand had access to American markets for its agricultural exports. In the 1960s two men dominated politics and policymaking in the United States and New Zealand: Keith Holyoake, prime minister of New Zealand, and Lyndon Johnson, president of the United States of Amer- ica. Despite coming from two different nations and societies, Johnson and Holyoake shared rural roots, which gave them some common ground. At the same time, their political goals both during their career and as leaders of their countries were extremely divergent. Johnson’s focus was always to reform America and achieve his “Great Society.” Holyoake wanted to NICHOLAS EVAN SARANTAKES is an assistant professor of history at Texas A & M University–Commerce.

    542 Address in Reply; and Proposed Amendments 6 March tradition. I have to advise her-and she will have to work out the virtue of this-that the other two were Michael Bassett and Trevor Young. At least one of those two can provide a shining example.. The House is where we have the chance to talk, to confuse, and to get things wrong, but I say to the member for Hawke's Bay: "Don't ever think that it runs the country.". ' When I first came to the House and took a back-bench seat in the Opposition, fundamentalist groups used to write to me and say: "We're praying every week for your job in running the country.". I used to write back and say: "Look, I hope you've got the message through to the right person, because I'm the wrong joker.". I am here because I am part of a political process in which back-benchers are given certain rights; in which Parliament is a forum where they can hold the Executive to account; in which they can test the views of the Executive; in which they can express the views of their constituents, agonise over their affairs, and try to resolve some of their worst dilemmas; in which they have a licence to work in their electorate offices, paid for by the State; in which they will be competing with people who hate them; in which the press will have a crack at them; and in which there is an organ in Auckland called the New Zealand Herald that can abuse a former Prime Minister, the member for Tamaki, because he had a 4 percent increase in his retirement salary over a period of 2 years while the same paper 2 years ago cost 40c and today costs 60c.

  • "Just a Damned Nuisance": New Zealand's Changing Relationship
    “Just a Damned Nuisance” New Zealand’s Changing Relationship with Israel from 1947 until May 2010 By Hannah van Voorthuysen A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in International Relations Victoria University of Wellington 2011 ABSTRACT In 1955, Mr Linton, the Israeli Minister accredited to New Zealand, sent an angry cable home decrying how the New Zealand government seemed to view Israel as if it “were just a damned nuisance, involving New Zealand in complex debating with a certain amount of expenditure within a sphere remote from Dominion interests and apprehensions.” Despite this early criticism from the Israelis, there has been an ongoing level of interest within New Zealand towards the Jewish state that goes beyond what should be expected as the cultural, economic, historic and diplomatic ties between New Zealand and Israel are relatively insignificant. Degrees of closeness between the two states have fluctuated dramatically, from New Zealand’s strong political support of the creation of Israel at the United Nations in 1945, to an adoption of Israel’s kibbutzim model in the 1970s, and culminating in the extraordinary cutting of diplomatic ties in 2004. What explains these dynamic shifts in attitudes? Why has the relationship seen such dramatic shifts throughout the last fifty years? What explains this intense interest from consecutive New Zealand governments, diplomatic staff and the New Zealand public? In this thesis I explore how the relationship is generally shaped by the interest- motivated hand of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, punctuated every now and then by a well-placed individual responding to instinct or passion.

  • Kiwi Keith and Kinloch: a Closer Look at Holyoake's 'Proudest Achievement'
    New Zealand Journal of History, 44, 2 (2010) Kiwi Keith and Kinloch A CLOSER LOOK at Holyoake’S ‘PROUDEST ACHIEVEMENT’ WHEN BARRY GUSTAFSON’S BIOGRAPHY OF KEITH HOLYOAKE, Kiwi Keith, was released in 2007, it received generally favourable reviews. Jim McAloon, in the New Zealand Journal of History, for example, called it ‘an outstanding contribution to New Zealand’s political history’.1 But not all were impressed. In his New Zealand Listener review Michael Bassett was especially critical, charging Gustafson with failing to adequately explain just how such a ‘modest man’ enjoyed decades of success. In sum, wrote Bassett, the many superlatives Gustafson showered upon Holyoake were rendered ‘somewhat hollow’. 2 A reviewer in the Nelson Mail, Vic Evans, went further, suggesting that Gustafson’s National Party allegiance had coloured his judgement and left question marks over the accuracy of his portrayal of the private Holyoake. While the book would remain the dominant discourse on Holyoake until an alternative was written, ‘that is not what a balanced view of history should be about’. 3 One issue touched upon by several reviewers of Kiwi Keith was Holyoake’s private development of land at Kinloch on the northern shores of Lake Taupö, where the building of a government road to the edge of his property aroused a degree of controversy. McAloon wrote that ‘his interest in Kinloch is well discussed’. 4 But others felt Gustafson had been too soft on the subject: John Roughan in the New Zealand Herald noted the lack of ‘strong comment’,5 while Bassett remarked upon the need for more explanation in respect to ‘the accusations levelled at Holyoake over his influence to get essential services into Kinloch that appears to have turned him and his partners into wealthy men’.
