The 2015-2016 year has been one of constant and credible growth for Māori Television. During the period under review, the organisation initiated an extensive segmentation research project, refreshed its content strategy, invested in new technology and cultivated new revenue streams to support a company-wide multi-platform focus. As well as maintaining our traditional television channels, we have continued to experience exponential growth in the consumption of content delivered on our digital media platforms. Above all, Māori Television has maintained its focus on the promotion and protection of te reo Māori me ngā tikanga Māori whilst fulfilling its statutory and public obligations to revitalise Māori language and culture. On behalf of the Board of Māori Television, it is my pleasure to report on another strong year of performance by New Zealand’s indigenous broadcaster. Committed to Te Reo Māori Māori Television is well positioned to take a leadership role in the Government’s efforts to support the revitalisation of the Māori language after Parliament passed the historic Māori Language Act, Te Ture mō te Reo Māori, in April 2016. The new Act outlines a better way for the Crown, iwi and Māori to work together towards a shared vision for Māori language.

    New Zealand Journal of Employment Relations, 45(1): 14-30 Minor parties, ER policy and the 2020 election JULIENNE MOLINEAUX* and PETER SKILLING** Abstract Since New Zealand adopted the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) representation electoral system in 1996, neither of the major parties has been able to form a government without the support of one or more minor parties. Understanding the ways in which Employment Relations (ER) policy might develop after the election, thus, requires an exploration of the role of the minor parties likely to return to parliament. In this article, we offer a summary of the policy positions and priorities of the three minor parties currently in parliament (the ACT, Green and New Zealand First parties) as well as those of the Māori Party. We place this summary within a discussion of the current volatile political environment to speculate on the degree of power that these parties might have in possible governing arrangements and, therefore, on possible changes to ER regulation in the next parliamentary term. Keywords: Elections, policy, minor parties, employment relations, New Zealand politics Introduction General elections in New Zealand have been held under the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) system since 1996. Under this system, parties’ share of seats in parliament broadly reflects the proportion of votes that they received, with the caveat that parties need to receive at least five per cent of the party vote or win an electorate seat in order to enter parliament. The change to the MMP system grew out of increasing public dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the previous First Past the Post (FPP) or ‘winner-take-all’ system (NZ History, 2014).

  • Effecting Change Through Electoral Politics: Cultural Identity and the Mäori Franchise
    EFFECTING CHANGE THROUGH ELECTORAL POLITICS: CULTURAL IDENTITY AND THE MÄORI FRANCHISE ANN SULLIVAN University of Auckland The indigenous peoples of New Zealand signed the Treaty of Waitangi with British colonisers in 1840. The colonisers then used the Treaty to usurp Mäori sovereignty and Mäori ownership of lands, fisheries, forests and other natural resources. Article 3 of the Treaty, however, guaranteed Mäori the same rights and privileges as British subjects, including the franchise. Initially, eligibility rights pertaining to the franchise effectively excluded Mäori participation, but in 1867 it became politically expedient to provide Mäori with separate parliamentary representation, which has been retained ever since. Mäori successfully used the franchise to bring about beneficial welfare changes after the depression years of the 1930s; however, but it was not until changes were made to the electoral system in 1993 that its potential as a tool for increased access to political power was realised. Today all political parties are courting the Mäori vote and Mäori are using the electoral system to further their self-determining goals of tino rangatiratanga (Mäori control over their cultural, social and economic development). This essay discusses how Mäori have used the Mäori franchise in their struggle to hold on to their culture and their language, and in their pursuit of economic development. EQUAL CITIZENSHIP VS FRANCHISE INEQUALITIES The New Zealand Constitution Act 1852 provided the franchise to all males (including Mäori) over the age of 21 years provided they were registered individual property owners (Orange 1987:137). In reality few Mäori males were eligible to vote as most Mäori land was communally owned and not registered in individual titles.

  • Do We Need Kiwi Lessons in Biculturalism?
    Do We Need Kiwi Lessons in Biculturalism? Considering the Usefulness of Aotearoa/New Zealand’sPakehā ̄Identity in Re-Articulating Indigenous Settler Relations in Canada DAVID B. MACDONALD University of Guelph Narratives of “métissage” (Saul, 2008), “settler” (Regan, 2010; Barker and Lowman, 2014) “treaty people” (Epp, 2008; Erasmus, 2011) and now a focus on completing the “unfinished business of Confederation” (Roman, 2015) reinforce the view that the government is embarking on a new polit- ical project of Indigenous recognition, inclusion and partnership. Yet recon- ciliation is a contested concept, especially since we are only now dealing with the inter-generational and traumatic legacies of the Indian residential schools, missing and murdered Indigenous women and a long history of (at least) cultural genocide. Further, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, with its focus on Indigenous self-determi- nation, has yet to be implemented in Canadian law.
