It has the community worried and the Tertiary Education Union (TEU) is determined to help the lecturers that will be impacted. MIT says the main reason for this move is the decline in demand for these courses. The polytechnic cites the drop in demand to a buoyant labour market where people tend to choose employment over study. TEU organiser Chan Dixon says she doesn’t see any evidence of that in the South Auckland community. It still has a ‘‘higher than the national average statistics in joblessness, poverty, and formal training,’’ she notes. MIT chief executive Gus Gilmore says the institute is ‘‘not ending the delivery of its Foun- dation level courses. We are pro- posing a different approach. ‘‘Foundation courses will be embedded across numerous facul- ties, such as nursing and engin- eering, to support a better transi- tion into higher level qualifications‘‘. ‘‘We are mindful of the impact that these changes will have on The Manukau Campus of MIT.

  • Politics of Housing Travel Bubble Start Date Receding Interest-Only
    HUGO Assessing the economic and political environmentvision in New Zealand Confidential to April 1 2021 HUGO members Politics of housing Page 2 The Prime Minister has been rattled by the extent of negative commentary following its housing package announcements. The only clear political upside is the likelihood that the combination of a 10 year brightline test and an end to mortgage interest deductibility will spook investors and stop recent house price inflation in its track. However, the consensus that rents will likely rise, criticism of the small infrastructure component of the package, the potential for Kāinga Ora to drive up land prices with its $2b capital boost, and negative Treasury and IRD advice on the measures, have reignited doubts about the government’s economic policymaking credentials. Travel bubble start date receding Page 3 Tuesday will see the announcement of a date for quarantine-free trans-Tasman travel, but previous indications of a mid-April start have receded. By late last week, late April looked likely. This week’s Brisbane lockdown is unlikely to have been a major setback unless the outbreak is sustained. The government is more concerned about whether its border and tracing/testing regimes are really up to the task, particularly as talk of a ‘fourth wave’ of infection in Europe grows. Interest-only pressure eases on RBNZ Page 6 The NZ dollar and wholesale interest rates fell as economists and traders saw the housing package slowing economic momentum, likely requiring the Reserve Bank to hold interest rates lower for longer than previously forecast. It also increased the pressure on the RBNZ not to move too dramatically, with limits on interest-only lending in the bank’s May 5 Financial Stability Report now less likely.

  • Coalition Traits That Affected New Zealand’S MMP Governments of 1996-2002

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Formation, Durability and Susceptibility Coalition Traits that Affected New Zealand’s MMP Governments of 1996-2002 A dissertation presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public Policy Massey University Albany Campus, North Shore City, New Zealand Grant Marc Gillon 2007 Abstract This thesis explores the relevant impact of three influences - policy, personality and opportunity - on New Zealand governments since 1996. The Mixed Member Proportional electoral system (MMP) was adopted by New Zealand for the 1996 general election. The various coalition government arrangements since then have been analysed using a series of case studies of identified events during coalitions’ crucial pre-election, formation, duration and termination stages. The roles assumed by, or perceived of, small parties have been important as have the actions of the pivotal party in each government. My interest in this topic springs from my service as an Alliance MP. I was an Alliance party list Member of Parliament during the 45th and 46th Parliaments (1996-2002). Systems theory was relied upon as the methodology with which to study relevant political processes. Key informant interviews and participant observation were the main research methods. This research investigates the traits, apparent in the coalitions formed from 1996 until 2002, which contributed to each government’s continuation or termination. Each stage reflected the parties’ competing interests as argued by theorists such as Muller and Strøm.
