Reviewed by Charles Crothers 3 New Zealand Sociology Volume 28 Issue 2 2013 Editorial: International Year of Statistics 2013 Charles Crothers Although the International Year of Statistics has not had high visibility in New Zealand it is useful to consider the relationship of New Zealand statistics to New Zealand sociology. Given that many outsiders still (rather erroneously?) consider Sociology as a discipline founded on the methodology of surveys, a close relationship might be expected. This editorial will consider: ‐ the architecture of NZ’s official social statistics system (structures and goals) ‐ the foundation of data-collections ‐ further processing capabilities ‐ non-Government statistics ‐ use of statistics by the New Zealand Sociological community. Statistics are often in the public eye: they provide excellent and cheap fodder for the media. For example, in the week when I began to write this editorial the New Zealand Herald ran: ‐ StatsNZ material comparing household costs over time drawn from HES – which goes back to about 1970; - Review of the NCEA drawing on studies of a few schools; - Results of an NZCER survey of teachers, principals and parents concerning their views on the NZCEA standards; and - The (dismal for New Zealand) international results from the PISA survey. Perhaps the most interesting development is that the NZ Herald has joined the Evening Post in recently hiring a data journalist.1 This upgrades newspapers’ capacities to handle data and goes hand in hand with another development of data visualisation which advances presentation of statistical material. Early New Zealand interest in social statistics, from the 1920s on, came from economists, historians and economic historians. But it could be readily 1 For more general background on data journalism see http://datajournalismhandbook.org/1.0/ en/ introduction.html. 4 Editorial argued that interest in social statistics emerged in 1970s with a compilation on social trends (Statistics, 1977) a UNESCO-commission-sponsored social indicators development conference (Cant, Hill and Watson, 1979) and the subsequently set-up social indicators unit which produced a Social Indicators Survey (1985). Alongside these developments were extensive survey work carried out in the health sector and on housing (through the National Housing Commission). Also a more sophisticated approach to social demography emerged (e.g. Pool, 1986). While most sociologists tended at best to flirt with statistics, Thorns and Sedgwick put together a major compilation of historical statistics (1997). The architecture of NZ’s official social statistics system (Structures and goals) The opportunity-structure for the sociological utilisation of statistics is largely set by the government’s Official Statistics System (OSS) which covers (under part 1 of the Statistics Act) all agencies that produce official statistics. StatsNZ is the main agency and leads in coordinating activity across the OSS. Within StatsNZ there is a Cultural and Social Statistics Division headed by one of a group of Deputy Statisticians. It is important to remember that the Government Statistician is accorded statutory independence from the Government of the day in respect to the formulation of statistics. The Statistics Advisory Council which includes representatives (currently Prof. Natalie Jackson from Waikato University) can funnel advice from academics. The OSS includes information on statistical activities of other government units although this is presently not available on their website. An important function of OSS is to develop domain plans for directions of statistical developments, which take the particular form of Tier 1 statistics which are those prioritized as central in the overall statistical system.2 The Foundation of Data-Collections Official statistics include the operational statistical procedures and records of many Government departments, particularly those that the public comes into contact with (e.g. Police, Inland Revenue, Ministries of Education and Social Welfare etc) one general source for locating appropriate data series.3 While such 2 See http://www.statisphere.govt.nz/tier1-statistics.aspx 3 See http://www.justice.govt.nz/publications/global-publications/o/official-information-your- right-to-know 5 New Zealand Sociology Volume 28 Issue 2 2013 data tell much about operations sociologists have always had a difficulty in establishing the extent to which such information also tells about the wider social reality beyond the records kept of those in contact. There are ongoing efforts to ensure that the data kept is of high quality and that common protocols are used across different government units, but the extent to which internal government information can be pressed into social science service still needs constant attention and debate. In addition, the state collects information from the wider community. Although sociologists might well be interested in data collected on firms (e.g. the ‘Business Operations Survey) it is more likely that individual and household surveys will have more sociologically pertinent information. The surveys currently being deployed by StatsNZ (or that are still fairly contemporary) include: ‐ Census of population and dwellings ‐ Disability survey ‐ General social survey (GSS) ‐ Household economic survey (HES) ‐ Household labour force survey (HLFS) ‐ Household use of information and communications technology ‐ Longitudinal immigration survey New Zealand ‐ New Zealand income survey (NZIS) ‐ Post-enumeration survey ‐ Survey of family, income, and employment (SoFIE) ‐ Te kupenga: survey of Māori Wellbeing ‐ Time use survey ‐ Working Life Survey (HLFS) To these need to be added surveys regularly carried out by other government departments.

  • The Effects of Proportional Representation on Election
    THE EFFECTS OF PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION ON ELECTION LAWMAKING IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND by Joshua Ferrer A Thesis Submitted to the Politics Programme University of Otago in Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts January 2020 ii iii ABSTRACT It is widely recognized that most politicians are self-interested and desire election rules beneficial to their reelection. Although partisanship in electoral system reform is well- understood, the factors that encourage or constrain partisan manipulation of the other democratic “rules of the game”—including election administration, franchise laws, campaign finance, boundary drawing, and electoral governance—has received little scholarly attention to date. Aotearoa New Zealand remains the only established democracy to switch from a non-proportional to a proportional electoral system and thus presents a natural experiment to test the effects of electoral system change on the politics of election lawmaking. Using a longitudinal comparative case study analysis, this thesis examines partisan and demobilizing election reforms passed between 1970 and 1993 under first-past- the-post and between 1997 and 2018 under mixed-member proportional representation (MMP). Although partisan election reforms have not diminished under MMP, demobilizing reforms have become less common. Regression analysis uncovers evidence that partisan election lawmaking is more likely when the effective number of parties in parliament is lower, when non-voters have more leverage, and when reforms are pursued that diminish electoral participation. iv To Arthur Klatsky, with all my love v PREFACE This thesis would not be what it is without the generosity, time, and aroha of countless people. For the sake of the Otago Politics Department’s printing budget, I will attempt to be brief.
