  • Maori Customary Use of Native Birds, Plants & Other Traditional Materials
    NEW ZEALAND CONSERVATION AUTHORITY -- TE POU ATAWHAI TAIAO O AOTEAROA MAORI CUSTOMARY USE OF NATIVE BIRDS, PLANTS & OTHER TRADITIONAL MATERIALS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERIM REPORT AND DISCUSSION PAPER -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Published by the NEW ZEALAND CONSERVATION AUTHORITY TE POU ATAWHAI TAIAO O AOTEAROA P O Box 10-420 WELLINGTON New Zealand 1997 ISBN 0-9583301-6-6 NEW ZEALAND CONSERVATION AUTHORITY -- TE POU ATAWHAI TAIAO O AOTEAROA MAORI CUSTOMARY USE OF NATIVE BIRDS, PLANTS & OTHER TRADITIONAL MATERIALS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERIM REPORT AND DISCUSSION PAPER -------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION This is the full version of the New Zealand Conservation Authority’s Interim Report and Discussion Paper. A shorter summary version is also available, from: -- the NZCA, P O Box 10-420, Wellington, or -- your local office of the Department of Conservation. These two papers are the results thus far of an ongoing process of discussion and debate on the issue of Maori customary use of native plants and animals. The NZCA has addressed the issue through the activities of a Working Group, and the intensive debate arising from its first discussion paper in 1994. Other processes and developments have also focussed attention on the use and management of New Zealand’s indigenous natural heritage, including the WAI 262 claim to the Waitangi Tribunal, controversy over access to and disposal of dead stranded whales, and the recent Court decision on Maori fishing rights. Like the 1994 paper, this Interim Report and Discussion Paper is neither a policy nor a proposal for policy. It is not a statement of any fixed or final position of the NZCA on this issue. It does not claim to be the complete answer, or any absolute definition of Maori customary use.

The origin, development and criticism of the concept is discussed, drawing on such scholars as Robert Bellah and John F. Wilson in the United States, and on recent New Zealand commentators. Using material such as Anzac Day and Waitangi Day commemorations, Governor-Generals' speeches, observance of Dominion Day and Empire Day, prayers in Parliament, the role of Norman Kirk, and other related phenomena, the thesis considers whether this 'evidence' substantiates the existence of a civil religion.

Originally planned for 19 September, the election was postponed due to Covid-19. As well as electing Members of Parliament, New Zealand’s electorate voted on two referendums: one to decriminalise the recreational use of marijuana; the other to allow some terminally ill people to request assisted dying. The election was commonly dubbed the “Covid election”, with the coronavirus pandemic the main issue for voters throughout the campaign. Jacinda Ardern, the incumbent Prime Minister from the Labour Party, had been widely praised for her handling of the pandemic and the “hard and early” plan introduced by her Government in the early stages. She led in the polls throughout the campaign. Preliminary results from the election show Ms Ardern won a landslide victory, securing 49.1 per cent of the votes and a projected 64 seats in the new (53rd) Parliament: a rare outright parliamentary majority.

ADVERTISING AND THE MARKET ORIENTATION OF POLITICAL PARTIES CONTESTING THE 1999 AND 2002 NEW ZEALAND GENERAL ELECTION CAMPAIGNS A THESIS PRESENTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICS AT MASSEY UNIVERSITY, PALMERSTON NORTH, NEW ZEALAND. CLAIRE ELIZABETH ROBINSON 2006 i ABSTRACT This thesis proposes an alternative way of establishing a link between market orientation and electoral success, by focusing on market orientation as a message instead of as a management function. Using interpretive textual analysis the thesis examines the advertising messages of the highest polling political parties for evidence of voter orientation and competitor orientation in the 1999 and 2002 New Zealand general election campaigns. Relating manifest market orientation to a number of statistical indicators of electoral success the thesis looks for plausible associations between the visual manifestation of market orientation in political advertisements and parties’ achievement of their party vote goals in the 1999 and 2002 elections. It offers party-focused explanations for electoral outcomes to complement existing voter-centric explanations, and adds another level of scholarly understanding of recent electoral outcomes in New Zealand. While the thesis finds little association between demonstration ofcompetitor orientation in political advertisements and electoral success, it finds a plausible relationship between parties that demonstrated a voter orientation in their political advertisements and goal achievement.

A 152.800 thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Management at Massey University NEIL JAMES MILLER 09095616 22 February 2015 Word count: 29,080 MILLER, Neil 090951616 ABSTRACT This research report explores the enactment of a gender-balanced co-leadership throughout the organisation of the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand. This small-sized political organisation has had representatives in parliament since 1996. Its experimental model of a male and a female sharing positions arose out of the social movements of the baby boomer generation. Gender-balanced co-leadership was devised as an exception to the norm of a single leader (frequently presented as a heroic man). The metaphor of theatre is used to frame a description of the stage-managed performance of Green Party political co-leaders. I show how co-leaders have been portrayed over the life span of the party as if they were characters in play. The re-presentation of co-leaders is illustrated by images, primarily taken from the party magazine. Experiences of the enactment of this co-leader model are interpreted through five interviews with key informants who have all held formal positions of authority within the organisation.
