Download NZCM PDF Document The Auckland Centre for Financial Research is pleased to welcome you to its first New Zealand Capital Markets Symposium. In recent years, there have been increasing discussions and efforts to develop the New Zealand capital market into a vibrant and liquid market. Efforts have included the formation of the Capital Market Development Taskforce, the creation of the Financial Markets Authority, the enactment of a number of legislative changes to securities laws, and indirectly the introduction of KiwiSaver and the partial privatisations of State Owned Enterprises. The development of vibrant and effective capital markets are of interest to the finance industry, policy makers and academic researchers, yet discussion among the three groups seems to be limited. One of the aims of the Auckland Centre for Financial Research is to bridge the gap between finance academia and industry in New Zealand, and to engage in interactions that will be mutually beneficial. Hence, the purpose of this symposium is to add to the discussion on the New Zealand Capital Markets by bringing together leading New Zealand practitioners, policymakers, and academics. The setup of this symposium is quite unique in New Zealand, where academics present their research, and are then discussed by an industry participant or policy maker. The whole aim of this event is to bring the two sides, academia and industry, closer together. An event like this predominantly relies on the participants in the event, and we are very thankful to all of you who are participating. A special thanks goes to our keynote speaker, Mr Tim Bennett, CEO of the NZX; and our panel members: Ms Sue Brown, Head of Primary Regulatory Operations of the Financial Markets Authority; Mr Rob Cameron, Executive Chairman of Cameron Partners and former Chairman of the NZ Capital Markets Development Taskforce; and Mr Simon Botherway, Former Head of FMA Establishment Board and former CIO of ANZ Wealth. Of course, we thank all presenters and discussants for their contributions to this event.

Tim joined the NZX after 20 years financial services consulting experience concentrated in Asia where he was a Partner of Oliver Wyman and led the Boston Consulting Group strategy practice in Asia Pacific. Tim sees the next few years as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to accelerate development of the NZX and will offer pointers on what industry should focus on. He has advised on a broad range of financial institutions on topics from strategy and organisational transformation through mergers and acquisitions. A particular area of focus has been financial markets where Tim has worked with a number of different exchanges, governments and private companies in expanding domestic capital markets and developing new asset classes. One of Tim’s most notable achievements has been supporting the development of the iron ore derivatives market.

Transformation of the Welfare State in New Zealand with special reference to Employment A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of the Doctor of Philosophy in Economics at Massey University Anne Marguerite de Bruin 1997 Acknowledgements I am grateful to Professor Rolf D. Cremer, who as Head of the Economics Department, had high expectations for career development of staff of the Department. This provided the initial stimulus for my undertaking PhD study. I sincerely thank my supervisors, Professors Rolf D. Cremer and Ian F. Shirley for their invaluable guidance and assistance. I also thank them for their understanding which made the whole process easier, yet challenging. My sincere thanks also to my friend and colleague, Ann Dupuis, for her advice and constant encouragement. I am particularly thankful to her for always providing a listening ear during my ups and downs and for introducing me to Bourdieu and Gramsci. I wish to thank Massey University for the financial support I received through the Research Award for Academic Women. This made possible a freeing up of some of my time from teaching duties early in 1997, enabling the completion of this thesis. I am indebted to Enterprise Otara and several others in the Otara community who welcomed me into their community, willingly shared their knowledge with me and were also appreciative of what I had to offer to the community.

  • Constitutional Nonsense? the ‘Unenforceable’ Fiscal Responsibility Act 1994, the Financial Management Reform, and New Zealand’S Developing Constitution
    CONSTITUTIONAL NONSENSE? THE ‘UNENFORCEABLE’ FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT 994, THE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT REFORM, AND NEW ZEALAND’S DEVELOPING CONSTITUTION CHYE-CHING HUANG* ‘Once again, in promoting this legislation New Zealand leads the world. This is pioneering legislation. It is distinctly New Zealand – style.’ (22 June 1994) 541 NZPD 2010 (Ruth Richardson) ‘[It] is constitutional nonsense. The notion that this Parliament will somehow bind future Governments on fiscal policy…is constitutional stupidity.’ (26 May 1994) 540 NZPD 1143 (Michael Cullen) The Fiscal Responsibility Act 1994 (the ‘FRA’) was part of New Zealand’s Financial Manage- ment Reform, a reform said to have introduced new values – efficiency, economy, effectiveness and choice – into the law.1 The FRA is peculiar because the courts may not be able to enforce it. Despite this, the authors of the FRA expected it to impact profoundly on the thinking and behav- iour of the executive, Parliament, and the electorate.2 The debate about how the FRA has affected the executive, Parliament, and the electorate con- tinues.3 Yet no one has analyzed thoroughly how the FRA has affected – or might affect – judicial reasoning.4 This article attempts that analysis, and concludes that the FRA may have profound legal and even constitutional effects, despite being ‘unenforceable’. The finding that the FRA may have legal and constitutional effects could be useful for two reasons. First, the FRA’s constitutional effects suggest that judicial reform of the constitution may tend to privilege the neo-liberal values that the Financial Management Reform wrote into law. Parliamentary sovereignty could be said to encourage a free and contestable market place of ideas, but this supposed strength may be paradoxically used to legally entrench values.

  • The Impact of Rogernomics on Rural New Zealand by Neal Wallace Otago University Press, 2014 ISBN 978 1 877578 72 4 Reviewed by David Hall
    When the Farm Gates Opened: The impact of Rogernomics on rural New Zealand By Neal Wallace Otago University Press, 2014 ISBN 978 1 877578 72 4 Reviewed by David Hall Neal Wallace’s book starts with an updated version of Dennis Glover’s poem The Magpies. The Magpies reflected the disastrous impact of the 1930s Depression on New Zealand farming; the updated version by Waiata Dawn Davies, Magpies Updated, suggests that the promotion of ‘market forces’ has had a similar impact. That was the case in the short term following Roger Douglas’s reforms in the 1980s but for the long term Wallace gives market forces credit for improving the productivity and efficiency of New Zealand’s agriculture. He tells us also that ‘Farming benefitted hugely when other heavily protected sectors were exposed to market forces’. Rogernomics is reported as the saviour repelling the evil of Robert Muldoon’s policies during the 1970s and early 1980s. Wallace describes how Muldoon tried to stimulate agricultural production and export earnings with subsidies and how that policy threatened the industry and the country with disaster. Subsidies gave farmers’ incomes in excess of earnings from sale of their produce, the excess coming from overseas borrowing. Wallace claims that ‘short term thinking was encouraged whilst innovation was discouraged’ taking the country’s economy to the ‘cusp of collapse’. He reports how, in 1982, Federated Farmers, to their credit, recognised the dangers of Muldoon’s policies and a deputation met Muldoon to propose a package of financial reform that included farming giving up its subsidies if Muldoon would take steps in other sectors of the economy to bring inflation under control.

  • Advertising and the Market Orientation of Political Parties Contesting the 1999 and 2002 New Zealand General Election Campaigns
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. 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.

  • Government in New Zealand, 1940–511
    4 An Age of the Mandarins? Government in New Zealand, 1940–511 John R . Martin The passage of more than half a century allows us to view the period following the end of the Second World War until the 1950s genuinely as history. Research materials, principally in archives, are supplemented by official histories, and biographies, with a few interviews enriching the story. I have been struck by the number of leading public servants of the period who were still in office during the 1950s and 1960s and who influenced the public service in which I spent 35 years. I was privileged to have known a number of them. In this chapter, after sketching the political and economic situation in New Zealand in 1945, I identify two principal challenges – managing the economy and national development – facing the Labour Government led by Peter Fraser. I also examine changes in organising government business made after the National Government came to office late in 1949. I then describe briefly the state of the public service as New Zealand emerged from the war. I consider the role played by several prominent public servants – a team to set against the Seven Dwarfs – and reflect on what we know about their working relationships with ministers. In essence, the picture is, first, of a group of outstanding and long-serving public servants who worked very closely with Prime Minister Fraser and his deputy, Walter Nash, the minister of finance, through the war and afterwards. With the change of government in 1949, the close, personal and somewhat haphazard methods of working under Labour were succeeded by a more conventional (in the Westminster model) relationship between ministers and officials, conducted within a more formal machinery for the handling of Cabinet business – a change sought unsuccessfully by officials when the Labour Government was in office.2 1 In writing this chapter I have benefited greatly from discussions with Dr Brian Easton, Professor Gary Hawke, Sir Frank Holmes and Mr Noel Lough.

The Commercial Imperative in Broadcasting News: TVNZ from 1985 to 1990 A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD in Human Resource Management at Massey University Margaret Ann Comrie 1996 i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like first to thank my supervisors. Associate Professor Frank Sligo set me on the path and encouraged me throughout, and Associate Professor Ruth Butterworth's wide knowledge of the field and fresh perspective were extremely valuable. I am grateful to Professor Philip Dewe, who spent hours helping with the data analysis. Thanks too to Professor Judy McGregor for her support, especially with decisions on the structure of the report and in giving me the final push to finish. Colleagues throughout the Department of Human Resource Management provided a listening ear and helpful suggestions. Lunchtime sessions with Marianne Tremaine, in particular, helped me keep the study in perspective. Christine Smith's assistance with layout of text and tables is especially appreciated. Alan Cocker, at Auckland University, shared his knowledge and resources. Also I wish to acknowledge those who talked about their experiences at BCNZ and TVNZ, not all of whom could be named in the report. They gave their time generously, and for some the interview meant coming to terms with painful memories. I owe a special debt to Arne Evans for insights into the processes of television, for proofreading, and for his constant support.
