After meeting with the claimant, Mr Tane Mokena, he expressed the opinion that the report should not examine this issue as the Te Aroha cemetery is not located on land originally owned by his tupuna. Also, the commission directed the report to examine the alienation of land at Grattan Road, described as Lot 4, DP 34911 (Town of Te Aroha Extension No. 14) being Part Section 10, Block IX, Aroha Survey District. However, this piece ofland was already owned by the Crown when the new appellation was created in 1947, and was also out of the specified emphasis of 1878-1925. Because of this the issue of Lot 4, DP 34911, has not been examined in this report. 1 INTRODUCTION The township ofTe Aroha is located within the Thames Valley. Te Aroha township came to be situated on land that had been awarded to members of Ngati Rahiri in 1878. 1 This land was originally part of the Omahu reserve, which had been reserved by the Native Land Court for NgatiRahiri in 1878, following the sale of the Te Aroha block to the Crown in 1871. The survey of the various awards within the Omahu reserve did not begin until 1881, when Crown Grants were finally issued for the land where a bustling township had sprung up due to the discovery of gold in the area. In September 1881, an area of334 acres was Crown Granted to Rina Mokena, Mokena Hou, Akuhata Mokena, Ranapia Mokena, Eta Mokena, Hare Renata, Raima te Hemoata and Te Heinga Tawaha. This area eventually became section 15 block IX, or Morgantown. Another area of 400 acres was Crown Granted to Ema Mokena Ripihia (alias Ema Lipsey) and her two children, Ani Ripihia and Akuhata Ripihia. 2 This area was given the legal appellation of section 17 block IX, Te Aroha block, and it eventually became known as Lip s eytown. When gold was discovered in Te Aroha, the Morgans and the Lipseys voluntarily ceded these sections to the Governor under The Gold Fields Act 1873, and leases under that cession for sites in both sections 15 and 17 were issued by the Gold Fields Warden, Harry Kenrick, to European residents. Under the terms of the cession, the revenues, or the bulk of them, were handed over by the Warden to the Maori owners of the freehold (i.e. to the Morgans and the Lipseys). Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the bulk of section 15 block IX was converted into Crown lands as the Government gradually bought out the Maori owners' interests. The revenues generated by the land, which were theretofore paid to the original owners, were then handed over to the relevant local body in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Arrangements Act 1876 and 1878. 1Ngati Rahiri are also known as Ngati Tumutumu. Personal communication of Tane Mokena dated 20 November 1998. 2Schedule of Lands Granted to Ngati Rahiri dated 24 August 1878, MA 13/86, Te Aroha Block, NA. 2 By the beginning ofthe twentieth century, the owners of section 17 block IX, began to enter into financial arrangements on the security of their land. These arrangements, in conjunction with settler agitation for the freehold of their leased sites, as well as other factors, eventually led to the bulk of the lands being alienated to the Crown. On 15 January 1997, the Waitangi Tribunal received a claim by Tanengapuia Te Rangiawhina Mokena, alias Bryan Malcolm, on behalf ofNga Uri 0 Mokena Hou and Ngati Tumutumu iwi, concerning the gifting and alienation of certain lands at Te Aroha. Mr Mokena asserted that the "methods followed and acts committed or omitted by the Crown or its agents and authorities set up by the Crown or Parliament, in dealing with land at Te Aroha" had "detrimentally and adversely affected Nga Uri a Te Mokena Hou and Ngati Tumutumu.,,3 Tane Mokena is a descendant ofTe Mokena Hou and Ema Mokena Lipsey, two of the original owners granted title to sections 15 and 17, block IX, Te Aroha, by the Native Land Court in 1878. Te Mokena Hou was a chief of Ngati Rahiri and a prominent figure in the early days of Te Aroha township. Ema Mokena Lipsey, his daughter, was also a well-known identity in early Te Aroha. Ema Mokena married one of the first Pakeha settlers in the area, an Irishman by the name of George Lipsey. Indeed, the two sections that Te Aroha township came to be built on were named after these families as Morgantown and Lipseytown. It may be said that the very existence ofTe Aroha township is due in no small part to the generosity, goodwill, and industry of the Mokena and Lipsey families. According to Mr Tane Mokena, Ema Mokena Lipsey's will revealed her determination that her land in Lipseytown would always provide for her descendants. Ema Mokena Lipsey died in 1906, followed 7 years later by her husband George Lipsey. Ema Lipsey's will was quite strict about what should happen to her land after her death, yet, according to Mr Mokena, after George Lipsey died in 1913, the land was alienated. One of the other issues highlighted in Mr Mokena's claim was the gifting of certain lands by the 3Letter from Tanengapuia Te Rangiawhina Mokena to Registrar, Waitangi Tribunal, Wellington dated 14 January 1997.

The gifted lands were to be used for such purposes as Te Aroha School, the Anglican Church, the Hot Springs Reserve, and the land now known as Herries Memorial Park. This report is designed to examine the events and circumstances leading up to, and including, the establishment ofTe Aroha township, as well as the fate of these gifted lands. This report will explore the circumstances leading up to the purchase of sections 15 and 17, more commonly known as Morgantown and Lipseytown. It will seek to unearth how two blocks of land, made inalienable by the Native Land Court, ended up becoming alienated from Maori ownership. It will also examine the events leading to the gifting of various areas ofland by Te Mokena Hou and Ema Mokena Lipsey, paying particular attention to the terms and conditions of the gifting, if any such terms and conditions were imposed. The report examines events which occurred between the years 1878 and 1925. The report cuts off in 1925 because the bulk of the Mokena and Lipsey estates had been alieanted to the Crown by this time. The report is divided into seven chapters, each examining certain events which took place in Te Aroha. Chapter one deals with the original awarding of title to the lands, which eventually came to form Te Aroha township, to the Mokena and Lipsey families in 1878, and introduces some of the main players in the events which were to unfold. Chapter one also examines the opening of the Te Aroha Gold Field and describes the birth ofTe Aroha as a township.

  • A Diachronic Study of Unparliamentary Language in the New Zealand Parliament, 1890-1950
    WITHDRAW AND APOLOGISE: A DIACHRONIC STUDY OF UNPARLIAMENTARY LANGUAGE IN THE NEW ZEALAND PARLIAMENT, 1890-1950 BY RUTH GRAHAM A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Linguistics Victoria University of Wellington 2016 ii “Parliament, after all, is not a Sunday school; it is a talking-shop; a place of debate”. (Barnard, 1943) iii Abstract This study presents a diachronic analysis of the language ruled to be unparliamentary in the New Zealand Parliament from 1890 to 1950. While unparliamentary language is sometimes referred to as ‘parliamentary insults’ (Ilie, 2001), this study has a wider definition: the language used in a legislative chamber is unparliamentary when it is ruled or signalled by the Speaker as out of order or likely to cause disorder. The user is required to articulate a statement of withdrawal and apology or risk further censure. The analysis uses the Communities of Practice theoretical framework, developed by Wenger (1998) and enhanced with linguistic impoliteness, as defined by Mills (2005) in order to contextualise the use of unparliamentary language within a highly regulated institutional setting. The study identifies and categorises the lexis of unparliamentary language, including a focus on examples that use New Zealand English or te reo Māori. Approximately 2600 examples of unparliamentary language, along with bibliographic, lexical, descriptive and contextual information, were entered into a custom designed relational database. The examples were categorised into three: ‘core concepts’, ‘personal reflections’ and the ‘political environment’, with a number of sub-categories. This revealed a previously unknown category of ‘situation dependent’ unparliamentary language and a creative use of ‘animal reflections’.

  • Lucky Laidlaw” and “Worried Webb”: the Robert Laidlaw Exemption Case and Public Attitudes to Conscription in 1918
    “Lucky Laidlaw” and “Worried Webb”: The Robert Laidlaw Exemption Case and Public Attitudes to Conscription in 1918 PETER CLAYWORTH Abstract In February 1918 businessman Robert Laidlaw successfully applied for exemption from conscription, arguing that he alone had the skills to manage his large mail order business Laidlaw Leeds. Opponents of conscription, and many conscription supporters, saw Laidlaw's exemption as proof that New Zealand’s conscription system was failing to guarantee equality of sacrifice. Debate was intensified by the fact that Labour MP Paddy Webb was facing imprisonment for refusing to be conscripted. This paper examines what the Laidlaw case tells us about attitudes to conscription among politicians, the media and the general public in the New Zealand of 1918. The Greymouth watersider, unionist and balladeer Harry Kirk, “the Mixer,” in 1918 wrote a song entitled “The Bloke that Puts the Acid On.” The anti-conscription song described men going before the Military Service Board seeking exemption. Their disabilities included wooden legs, old age and being dead. In every case the Board was about to grant an exemption, until “the bloke that puts the acid on” intervened. He argued that each man was perfect for military service “so of course he’s got to go.” In contrast, when a businessman with class A fitness appeared before the Board, the “bloke” reacted with: This man can’t go away, His business would decay! We can’t afford to let him pass, He’s wealthy don’t you know; And his case is the same as Laidlaw’s - So of course he cannot go!1 The song referred to businessman Robert Laidlaw, owner and director of the trading firm Laidlaw Leeds.

  • MEDIA RELEASE Herd of Cows? Morrinsville Street
    MEDIA RELEASE Herd of Cows? Morrinsville Street Art Morrinsville has been put on the map. Today fifteen (15) fiberglass life-size cows are being placed in and around the town. Each of them has been artistically painted by local and national artists. These cows will remain on permanent display for public viewing to create a unique icon for the town. The project has been driven by a group of enthusiastic community members, with local accountancy firm CooperAitken announced as the major sponsor. Morrinsville’s existing art culture already established by the Wallace Gallery, together with its’ strong dairying heritage, sees these cows a good mix. Cows have been purchased by businesses who have been very supportive and keen to get in on the action. Artists from around the country submitted their portfolios in the hope of getting an opportunity to put paint to glass. Designed together by the business and artist, each cow is truly unique and eye catching. The cows made by Matcraft Marine in Hamilton, have been designed to withstand the toughest conditions, our harsh UV rays, and are finished with an anti graffiti high gloss coat. They will showcase a plaque displaying the business sponsor, artist and name of the cow. The next ‘herd’ to be released will take place in a couple of months time. For more information, contact Nicki Robb on 021 343 170. Background information To create a point of difference, something for Morrinsville to “hang its hat on” and be famous for. To attract visitors and create a buzz around town. In turn we hope this will showcase our town to not only our local visitors but also our international visitors as they come to see the other wonderful things we have in the Matamata Piako District like the Mineral spa’s, Rail Trail and walking tracks at Te Aroha or the Hobbiton movie set in Matamata.
