The Mixed Member Proportional electoral system was adopted in New Zealand in 1996 to change the homogenous nature of the New Zealand legislative assembly. As a proportional representation system, MMP ensures that voters’ preferences are proportionally reflected in the party composition of Parliament. Since 1996, women and Māori (and other minority and underrepresented groups) have been experiencing significant increases in their numbers in parliament. Despite these increases, there remains the question of whether or not representatives who ‘stand for’ these two groups due to shared characteristics will subsequently ‘act for’ them through their political behaviour and attitudes.

This report details Sport NZ’s findings from public consultation on the Sport Integrity RECOMMENDATIONS Review discussion document undertaken from 31 October 2018 to 11 December 2018. 2. This report accompanies the Sport Integrity Review summary of submissions and analyses what submitters said, sets out the findings from this analysis and makes a total of 22 recommendations designed to address the key issues identified by submitters. 3. We believe the successful implementation of these recommendations is key to the continued protection and enhancement of the integrity of sport in New Zealand. 4. The recommendations include a mix of improvements and enhancements to existing institutions and mechanisms designed to uphold and protect the integrity of sport, in addition to the introduction of some new ones. 5. While there are numerous findings specific to each of the six areas we consulted on, the key overall finding from the analysis is that there is a lack of capability across the sports sector to deal with integrity related issues, particularly in relation to the reporting and management of sports integrity related complaints. 6. Sports organisations, particularly smaller organisations, are struggling to keep up with what is an increasingly complex and multi-dimensional area.
