Planning and Development Summary of Bills Introduced Sugar Loaf Islands Marine Protected Area Bill This Act provides for the setting up and management of the Sugar Loaf Islands Marine Protected Area for the purpose of protecting that area of the sea and foreshore in its natural state as a habitat of marine life for the enhancement of recreational activities. The Sugar Loaf Marine Protected Area is to be maintained in a natural state and the public to have right of entry. Restrictions will be placed on fishing around Sugar Loaf Islands and the protected area to be deemed a conservation park as defined by section 19 of the Conservation Act 1987. Napier City Council (Control of Skateboards) Empowering This Bill empowers the Napier City Council to make bylaws controlling the use of skateboards on any road or public place. Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries Amendment Bill This Bill amends the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries Act 1953. Most of the Ministry's functions will now be determined by the Crown. The fact that the Ministry, the Minister, and the Director-General have the powers, duties, and functions of the former Marketing Department, Minister of Marketing, and Director of Marketing, does not limit or affect the Department's functions or the Minister's powers. The Bill also enables the Minister to ratify a doubtful contract entered into by the Minister at some time in the past if, at the time of ratification, the Ministry has the appropriate functions or the Minister has the appropriate powers. Broadcasting and Radiocommunications Reform Bill This bill amends the Broadcasting Act 1989 and the Radiocommunications Act 1989. The amendments proposed to the Broadcasting Act 1989 include restricting the meaning of broadcaster to a person providing transmission services in a position to exercise control, either alone or in association with others, of the operations of the company broadcasting programmes or the management of any broadcasting station operated by that company or the programmes broadcast by that company or the selection or provision of programmes to be broadcast. The responsible Minister is changed from the Minister of Broadcasting to the Minister of Communications. The bill provides for amendments relating to Parliamentary election programmes including the following: (a) The obligation on broadcasters to provide to political parties free of charge a specified amount of broadcasting time is removed: (b) The Minister may invite broadcasters to permit parties to broadcast election programmes free of charge or at discounted rates in an election period, specifying conditions on the broadcaster's reply to the invitation: (c) The Broadcasting Authority is responsible for allocating to political parties the time offered by broadcasters but must consider whether proposals made by broadcasters can be adopted either in full or with modifications: (d) Money is to be appropriated by Parliament for allocation to political parties to meet costs of broadcasting election programmes: (e) Simulcasting of every opening address and closing address is not required but they are to be broadcast on all free-to-air television broadcasting stations made available for the purpose and on National Radio. The bill provides for amendments to the Radiocommunications Act 1989 to enable regulations to provide for the waiver of any fees prescribed by any such regulations, and to correct an error in the lay-out of the definition of the term "gross income". Business Development Boards Bill This Bill provides for the establishment of Business Development Boards. Each Board is to be established in respect of a region to be specified in the Order in Council establishing the Board. The functions of the Boards are: (a) To advise the Minister of Regional Development on matters relating to business in the Board's region: (b) To promote business growth in the Board's region by undertaking the activities specified in the charter. 2302 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 113 The charter must state: (a) The goals of the Boards; and (b) The activities the Boards are to undertake; and (c) The rules and guidelines applying to the operations of Boards. ps7167 Government Notices 3.

  • Why New Zealand Took Itself out of ANZUS: Observing ‘‘Opposition for Autonomy’’ in Asymmetric Alliances1
    Foreign Policy Analysis (2010) 6, 317–338 Why New Zealand Took Itself out of ANZUS: Observing ‘‘Opposition for Autonomy’’ in Asymmetric Alliances1 Amy L. Catalinac Harvard University In 1985, a dispute over nuclear ship visits led the United States to for- mally suspend its security guarantee to New Zealand under the trilateral ANZUS Treaty. In this article, I conceptualize this dispute as a case of intra-alliance opposition by a small state toward its stronger ally. I gener- ate four hypotheses from the literature on alliances in international relations to explain why New Zealand chose to oppose its ally on the nuclear ships issue. Using new evidence, including interviews with 22 individuals involved in the dispute and content analysis of debates in the New Zealand parliament from 1976 to 1984, I conclude that a desire for greater autonomy in foreign policy was the driving factor behind New Zealand’s opposition. The Spat that Ended ANZUS In July 1984, the New Zealand Labour Party fought and won a general election on a commitment to make New Zealand ‘‘nuclear-free.’’ If elected, Labour promised that it would ban the entry of nuclear-armed and nuclear-powered ships from New Zealand ports (Lamare 1991:473). At the time New Zealand, along with Australia and the United States, was a member of the tripartite secu- rity alliance, ANZUS. The ANZUS Treaty had been signed in September 1951 as a form of insurance against the possibility of a resurgent Japan, an aggressive China, or any other form of regional instability that might threaten the interests of the allies (McKinnon 1986; Hayden 1996:434–454).

  • Stewardship Land and DOC - the Beginning
    Stewardship Land and DOC - the beginning Philip Woollaston A paper commissioned by the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment September, 2012 1 Introduction I have been asked to comment on the history of stewardship land (as defined in the Conservation Act, 19871 and held by the Department of Conservation) from my personal recollections as a minister of the Crown centrally involved in the reformation of environmental administration and the allocation of Crown owned land in the 1980s2. In the context of this request, particular reference was made to: • the intent of the government in promoting the relevant legislation and the extent to which compromises were made in it; • the criteria for selection of ‘stewardship land’ and for allocation of other land to SOEs; • the extent to which the concept of net conservation benefit was involved in the allocation process. In discussions your staff posed some further specific questions including: • whether there was debate on a hierarchy of values, on what should or should not be allowed on conservation land and, in particular, regarding concessions on conservation land; • whether trade-offs were made between competing values in the allocation process; • the degree to which there was interaction between the Resource Management Law Reform (RMLR) exercise which led to the RMA and the conservation legislation. Subsequently I was also asked to comment briefly on: • ‘the envisaged interaction and distinction in the Conservation Act between the roles of conservation, recreation, and tourism.’ Preliminary discussions also touched on the much broader question of what differences exist between the plan for DOC and the reality today.

The Background to Our Inquiry The allegations involved money owned by the Pipi Foundation Trust (“Pipi”), a private trust established by Mrs Awatere Huata in 1999 to deliver a children’s reading programme known as the Four Minute Reading Programme, which Mrs Awatere Huata had developed in the 1970s. The Auditor-General is not the auditor of private trusts. We therefore had no power to investigate the allegations of financial impropriety surrounding Pipi’s funds. Both the Police and the Serious Fraud Office have made inquiries into those matters.

The Parliaments of both countries recognise the merit in building on our already strong relationship by having an annual exchange of parliamentary committees. During the period 6-11 April 2003 the Defence Sub-Committee of the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade visited New Zealand as part of the 2003 parliamentary committee exchange program. The first objective of the visit was to meet with New Zealand parliamentarians to share ideas and build and enhance relationships between the two Parliaments. This objective was fulfilled through a series of high level meetings with the Speaker of the New Zealand Parliament, the Hon Jonathan Hunt, MP, the Leader of the Opposition, the Hon Bill English, MP, the Minister of Defence, the Hon Mark Burton, MP, and members of the New Zealand Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Select Committee. The second objective of the visit ties in with the sub-committee’s current inquiry into Australia’s maritime strategy. The majority of meetings during the four day visit were with New Zealand Defence personnel who provided briefings on key developments and initiatives in New Zealand Defence policy and capability.
