We, the newly minted Editors-in-Chief of the New Zealand Women’s Law Journal — Te Aho Kawe Kaupapa Ture a ngā Wāhine, were concerned that there would be little new content; it has surely all been said before; what new direction could we take? We scoured the archives of the Feminist Law Bulletin, observed contemporary decisions of the judiciary and legislature, and received a multitude of submissions. We marvelled at the recurring themes. Yet even when territory feels familiar, there is nuance in each tide as it moves against shifting shores. In this edition, we wanted to trace the palimpsest of these tides and shorelines. To do so, we enlisted the help of those who navigated them before us: our tuākana. As a result, several sections of this edition are framed by an intergenerational conversation — tuakana–teina whakawhiti kōrero — which begin to map the contours that have shaped our journey thus far. Each of the contributors to this edition of the Journal has taken a critical approach to legal thinking, whether that legal thinking is cutting edge, out-dated, or a response to complicated circumstances. And while some if it is not “new”, in the sense that iterations of similar issues have challenged wāhine rōia before us, it is in the iterations that nuances and differences are teased out, and in their accumulation that a body of knowledge and critique — a canon and a solidarity — is forged. We see this collection as adding to our understanding of what the law is, what it means, and how it affects us. We see it as shaping the island in our imagination; that place, just over the horizon, where we want the law to go.1 We extend our deepest thanks to those who have worked hard for this edition of Journal to come to fruition: to the contributors for your courageous submissions, the reviewers for invaluable critique, our team of editors and 1 Joseph Williams “Can you see the island?” (October 2015) Māori Law Review 21. 1 [2019] NZWLJ marketing managers for hours and hours of brilliant work, and our publishing professionals for your patience and generosity. To our whānau and friends, mentors and models, colleagues and cheerleaders, thank you for your ongoing and generous support. And to our deputy editors and the trustees, kei te mihi nui: this edition stands on the shoulders of your outstanding mahi. Through producing, reading, and discussing this Journal, we (māua) hope that we (tātou) contribute to a canon that is continually critiqued and refined to enable all wāhine rōia to flourish in the world of law. Iteratively and cumulatively; onward, to the island just over the horizon. Josie Te Rata and Monique van Alphen Fyfe Editors-in-Chief 27 October 2019 2 FOREWORD — KUPU WHAKATAKI The feminist story of how far we have come and how much there is left to do is not a new story, nor one specific to the tuākana and tēina represented in the inter-generational conversations (whakawhiti kōrero) in this, the third issue of the New Zealand Women’s Law Journal — Te Aho Kawe Kaupapa Ture a ngā Wāhine. It stretches back behind us and will carry on beyond us, and it may in fact never end. But this point-in-time examination is ours, specific to this time and place and to our unique journey in this land. And we are delighted to be asked to contribute to it. Along with many other tuākana, we have been walking this path for a few decades, in a variety of ways, including as editors of the Feminist Law Bulletin, founded near the end of last century, and as advocates with deep personal involvement in some of the law reforms discussed in this Journal. We welcome the critiques of the reforms in this issue, though it pains us to think about who we left behind (Prostitution Law Reform), the unintended consequences that were inadvertently created (Sexual Offences Act and Property (Relationships) Act) and the gaps we were simply unable to fill (Taylor Mitchell’s questions on legal certainty for gender diverse people). As many of the articles and commentaries reveal, our paths to equality do not travel in a straight line. Instead, contributors paint “a picture of the messy reality — the steps forward and the steps back — that is closer to the truth” of women’s journey to equality.1 Out of our messy reality, we see that some of the steps our generation took forward were remarkable while others could have been better. We see progress, we see some good foundations to build on, and we see more to do: from bodily autonomy, to gender identity, to the right to be free from violence, and to have a voice as women lawyers in the legal system. The chance to provide context helps to place tuākana decisions within 1 Srilatha Batliwala and Alexandra Pittman Capturing Change in Women’s Realities: A Critical Overview of Monitoring and Evaluation Frameworks and Approaches (Association for Women’s Rights in Development, Toronto, 2010) at 7. 3 [2019] NZWLJ their time and place, and shows how recently many archaic views held sway. The conversation with Cull J reminds us of the importance of strategic litigation in the feminist strategies of agitation, litigation and negotiation of law reform.

  • Submission on Water Issues in Aotearoa New Zealand
    Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights United Nations Office CH 1211 Geneva 10 Switzerland Submission on Water Issues in Aotearoa New Zealand By Dr Maria Bargh 1 This submission is provided in two Parts: Part One: Overview of the significance of water to Māori and current national legislation relating to water. Part Two: Overview of the potential impacts of the New Zealand government’s proposals on Māori, including with regard to private sector provisions of related services. Introduction In 2003 the New Zealand government established a Sustainable Water Programme of Action to consider how to maintain the quality of New Zealand’s water and its sustainable use. One of the models being proposed for the more efficient management of water is the market mechanism. Dominant theories internationally put forward the market as the best mechanism by which to manage resources efficiently. Given that all life on the planet needs water for survival its appropriate management, use and sustainability is of vital concern. However many communities, including Indigenous peoples, have widely critiqued the market, and the neoliberal policies which promote it, highlighting the responsiveness of the market to money rather than need. In the case of Aotearoa, moves to further utilise the market mechanism in the governance of water raises questions, not simply around the efficiency of the market in this role but also around the Crown i approach which is one of dividing the issues of marketisation, ownership and sustainability in the same manner in which they assume the river/lake beds, banks and water can be divided.

  • The Finkelstein Inquiry: Miscarried Media Regulation Moves Miss Golden Reform Opportunity
    Vol 4 The Western Australian Jurist 23 THE FINKELSTEIN INQUIRY: MISCARRIED MEDIA REGULATION MOVES MISS GOLDEN REFORM OPPORTUNITY * JOSEPH M FERNANDEZ Laws are generally found to be nets of such a texture, as the little creep through, the great break through, and the middle-sized are alone entangled in.1 Abstract The Australian media’s nervous wait for the outcome of media regulation reform initiatives came to an abrupt and ignominious end in March 2013 as the moves collapsed. The Federal Government withdrew a package of Bills at the eleventh hour, when it became apparent that the Bills would not garner the required support in parliament. These Bills were preceded by two major media inquiries – the Convergence Review and the Independent Media Inquiry – culminating in reports released in 2012. The latter initiative contained sweeping reform recommendations, including one for the formation of a government-funded ‘super regulator’ called the News Media Council, which the media generally feared would spell doom especially for those engaged in the ‘news’ business. This article examines the origins of the Independent Media Inquiry; the manner of the inquiry’s conduct; what problem the inquiry was seeking to address; the consequent recommendations; and ultimately, the manoeuvres for legislative action and the reform initiative’s demise. This article concludes that the Independent Media Inquiry was flawed from the outset and * Head of Journalism, Curtin University. This article is developed from a presentation by the author to the Threats to Freedom of Speech Conference hosted by the Murdoch University Law School on 12 October 2012 at Perth, Western Australia.

  • 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.
