Willie Jackson, MP 8 Feb 2000 Address in Reply 261 [Therefore to you the Speaker of this House, these are the statements from home. I greet you and all of us.] Thank you, Mr Speaker. Waiata WILLIE JACKSON (The Alliance): I second the motion that a respectful address be presented to His Excellency the Governor-General, in reply to His Excellency's speech. A, tihei mauri ora! E tika tuatahi ki te mihi ki to tatou Matua i te rangi nana nei nga mea katoa. Ka mihi ki te Whare me Papa-tO.-a-Nuku, tena korua. Ki nga mate haere. Ki te wairua o taku papa noho mai ra ki roto i te ringa o te Atua. Ki te Kaikorero, tena koe. Ki te Pirimia, ahakoa kua ngaro ia, tena koe. A, ki aku rangatira, Jim, Sandra, tena korua. Ki nga whanaunga, nga hoa i haramai nei ki te tautoko, tena koutou. Ki a koe Mita, kua ngaro hoki ia engari, nga mihi, nga manaaki ki a koe, Mita. Ki a koutou katoa nga mema, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena ano tatou katoa. [Behold, the breath of life. It is indeed right that a greeting is extended firstly to our Father in the sky, as he created everything. A greeting is extended to the House and Mother Earth, greetings to you two. To the dead, farewell. To the spirit of my father, remain there in the hand of God. To the Speaker, greetings to you. Greetings to you too, the Prime Minister, despite your absence. To my leaders Jim and Sandra, greetings to you two. To the relatives and friends who have come here in support, greetings to you all. Greetings to you, Mita-he has disappeared also, but never mind; regards to you, all the same. Indeed, to all members, greetings, greetings, and greetings again to us all.] It is indeed a privilege to be seconding the Address in Reply. I believe that it is the first time that Maori have been accorded that honour. I would like to express my thanks to some of my family and friends. First is my father, who is no longer with us. I thank him for being my best mate, my biggest critic, and my greatest influence. It is my biggest regret that he is not here today. I would also like to thank my uncle Syd Jackson, who has been a great political mentor for me. He has never received the kudos that he should from Maoridom. He was protesting before it was considered trendy to protest. I thank family and friends who have joined us here today. I say "Thank you" to my uncle Moana, who has also made a major contribution in coming along to support me, and to my uncle Brown, who was very close to my father. I thank very much my aunty, my grandmother, my aunties and uncles, my brother, my sister, my kuia--everybody who has come along .. I know I am not meant to say "Thank you" to this person, because we have an Andre Agassi type of contract-as in Andre did not say anything to Steffi-but I thank very much Tania Rangiheuea, who is very close to me. 4 Last, but not least, I thank my mother, June Jackson, who I think typifies very much the volatility of the Maori vote. On election night she said to me: "Son, I have two prayers: one is that you get in off the Alliance list" --obviously, she did not fancy my chances against someone in the back row here-' 'and the second is that Winston gets in.'' So there we go; that is an example of the Maori vote! I come from an electorate that was reflected very much in His Excellency's speech. Manukau is an area where I formed and shaped many of my political ideals. It is an area with many distinct features, a couple of them being that it has the widest cross-section of racial and ethnic groups in this country, and, unfortunately, it also can claim to have the narrowest cross-section of income groups in New Zealand. We have the highest group of lower-paid workers in the country, many of whom are Maori. In many ways, Manukau should be seen as a challenge and a benchmark for this Government, which is intent on reducing disparities in the economic, social, and political areas. It is an electorate that has been devastated by harsh economic policies. I have witnessed first hand the effects of those policies on our people in, for example, the unemployment area. We have intergenerational unemployment: fathers, sons, and their sons not getting work. There is an ever-increasing prison population, kids having kids- the worst statistics, which the Prime Minister talked about just the other day. The Government's clear signalling of its intention to reduce the gaps is good news for Maori, 262 Address in Reply 8 Feb 2000 not just in south Auckland but right around the country. The establishment of a Cabinet committee aimed at reducing those disparities as a priority is a positive start. The Government's fulfilment of its article 3 treaty obligations is also a positive way of addressing disparities. Fulfilling article 3 obligations means, in simple terms, Maori receiving the same opportunity as Pakeha. I know that some people get a bit tired of this. There may even be the odd member who would scoff at this-I was going to say ''the odd party", but I will not go down that lane-and want this whole Maori thing to just disappear. They probably want us to settle on a time, a date, and an amount, and then we can all be one country again. Unfortunately, it is not that easy. Article 3 treaty obligations must be properly thought out and carefully addressed, the net result and resolution being a greatly improved relationship between Maori and Pakeha, and Maori and the Crown. The Government needs to properly engage with Maori on a long-term, planned basis. A single parliamentary term could yield some good incremental results, but it is the long-term gains that are important. Planning and partnership are the essential keys for success. For an outstanding example of this we have only to look at a model set by three tribes: Ngati Raukawa, Ngati Toa Rangatira, and Te Atiawa. They have just reached the end of their 25-year planning cycle, which started in 1975. The Whakatupuranga Ruamano model is an inspirational example of Maori strategic planning by three tribes who are now planning for the next 1,000 years. Imagine planning like that! In 1975, they had very few Maori speakers. The economy was depressed, and theirs was a very depressed area, but through conscientious commitment to their plan, those tribes are now in a more viable and culturally enhanced position. They are now leading the way in terms of young Maori speakers. There is every reason for Maori, as a collective, to work in a similar fashion with the Government over a long period. Changes in Government did not deter those tribes from realising their goals. The same level of commitment from Maori to a similarly developed and executed planning blueprint must be encouraged. We are at the beginning of a new millennium, and it is timely that Maori should prepare themselves well for the future. One of my aims during this term is to assist Maori to engage in long-term strategic planning for economic and cultural survival. In the immediate term, Maori needs are exactly the same as those of Pakeha. We need jobs, and better housing, health, and education. However, we need a little bit more, for Maori have the responsibility of passing on a language and a culture to successive generations. As board chairmaQ of the only Maori language secondary school in Manukau, south Auckland, I have witndsed first hand the struggle to maintain our language. In a school of this kind, one is able to judge how hard it is to keep the language alive. We have 180 kids, who are taught maths, science, geography--everything-in Maori, from the time they walk in until the time they walk out. It is a very hard environment. We have kids mirroring the actions of their Black Power or Mongrel Mob fathers, yet those kids are working away, and we support them as much as we can. Then they return to an impossible situation at home. They can barely communicate with their parents, because 99 percent of the parents cannot speak a word of Maori. Imagine how tough that is! Those problems are caused through language retention spanning only a single generation, yet those parents choose to send their kids to a total Maori-immersion school. The politics of doing so is directly related to their belief that to identify more fully as Maori one needs to hear and speak the language. These problems cannot be resolved by a Maori language strategy in schools alone. We need a more comprehensive solution that is not a strategy based on having more Maori dictionaries or a television channel that no one can tune into. A comprehensive strategy that promotes language and culture through schools, and incorporates broadcasting, is what is required. Dual investment in the education and broadcasting sector promises a greater chance of preserving Maori language and culture. Culture, of course, must be distinguished; otherwise, we risk seeing everything Maori in just a linguistic context. My aim is to have a professional Maori broadcasting system that is well planned, properly resourced, and capable of encompassing all facets of Maori language and culture.

  • Adapting to Institutional Change in New Zealand Politics
    21. Taming Leadership? Adapting to Institutional Change in New Zealand Politics Raymond Miller Introduction Studies of political leadership typically place great stress on the importance of individual character. The personal qualities looked for in a New Zealand or Australian leader include strong and decisive action, empathy and an ability to both reflect the country's egalitarian traditions and contribute to a growing sense of nationhood. The impetus to transform leaders from extraordinary people into ordinary citizens has its roots in the populist belief that leaders should be accessible and reflect the values and lifestyle of the average voter. This fascination with individual character helps account for the sizeable biographical literature on past and present leaders, especially prime ministers. Typically, such studies pay close attention to the impact of upbringing, personality and performance on leadership success or failure. Despite similarities between New Zealand and Australia in the personal qualities required of a successful leader, leadership in the two countries is a product of very different constitutional and institutional traditions. While the overall trend has been in the direction of a strengthening of prime ministerial leadership, Australia's federal structure of government allows for a diffusion of leadership across multiple sources of influence and power, including a network of state legislatures and executives. New Zealand, in contrast, lacks a written constitution, an upper house, or the devolution of power to state or local government. As a result, successive New Zealand prime ministers and their cabinets have been able to exercise singular power. This chapter will consider the impact of recent institutional change on the nature of political leadership in New Zealand, focusing on the extent to which leadership practices have been modified or tamed by three developments: the transition from a two-party to a multi-party parliament, the advent of coalition government, and the emergence of a multi-party cartel.

  • What Makes a Good Prime Minister of New Zealand? | 1 Mcguinness Institute Nation Voices Essay Competition
    NATION VOICES ESSAY COMPETITION What makes a good About the author Brad is studying towards a BCom/ Prime Minister of BA majoring in Economics, Public Policy, International New Zealand? Relations and Political Science. He is a 2016 Brad Olsen Queen’s Young Leader for New Zealand after his work with territorial authorities, central government organizations and NGOs. He’s passionate about youth voice and youth participation in wider society. Leadership is a complex concept, necessitating vast amounts of patience, determination, and passion to work with others towards a position of improvement in the chosen field of expertise or service. Leaders not only bear the burden of setting the direction of actions or inactions for their team, but are also often accountable to stakeholders, with varying degrees of accountability and size of the cohort to which a leader is accountable. However, there is no more complex job in existence than the leadership of a country like New Zealand — this burden falls squarely on the Prime Minister, in charge of policy both foreign and domestic, all the while totally accountable to each and every citizen in his or her realm. Unsurprisingly, some make a better fist of it than others, with the essence of this good leadership a highly sought commodity. Three areas are critical to ensuring a Prime Minister can effectively lead — a measurement of how ‘good’ they are at their job — these fall under the umbrellas of political, social, and economic leadership ability. Politically, Prime Ministers must have foreign credibility, alongside the ability to form a cohesive support team. Socially a Prime Minster must not only recognize and promote popular ideas, but must also be relatable in part to the people.

  • Innovation in New Zealand Statute Law
    WHAT IS DISTINCTIVE ABOUT NEW ZEALAND LAW AND THE NEW ZEALAND WAY OF DOING LAW - INNOVATION IN NEW ZEALAND STATUTE LAW Rt Hon Sir Geoffrey Palmer President, Law Commission Paper delivered to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Law Commission, Legislative Council Chamber, Parliament Buildings, Wellington, 25 August 2006 What is this paper about? 1 The threshold question is to define what this paper is about.1 Tests as to what is innovative tend to be subjective. What is meant by “innovative” in the first place? The Oxford English Dictionary makes it plain that innovation is the action of innovating; the introduction of novelties; the alteration of what is established by the introduction of new elements or forms. In one sense, every statute is an innovation. The term is also susceptible to a distinction between those statutes that are innovative as to form and those that are innovative as to policy. Some statutes are known for the novelty and boldness of their policy. Others for the use of intricate and novel legislative techniques, for example the claw back provisions of the Treaty of Waitangi (State Enterprises) Act 1988.2 Some lawyers may admire particular legislative techniques that have no great impact except to implement faithfully the policy of the Act. And that policy may be of no great significance. On the other hand, statutes that are simple in drafting terms may raise enormous controversy leading to a difficult and long parliamentary passage. 2 Contemplating the difficulty of selection, I informally surveyed the Law Commission lawyers as to what they considered to be the three top innovative pieces of legislation in New Zealand.

  • Constructing the Other News Media Representations of a Predominantly ‘Brown’ Community in New Zealand
    CLIMATE CHANGE IN ASIA-PACIFIC Constructing the Other News media representations of a predominantly ‘brown’ community in New Zealand Abstract: Research worldwide finds that indigenous, non-white, immigrant and other marginalised communities are subjected to media coverage that negatively and narrowly stereotypes them in comparison to dominant racial groups. In this article, we explore media representations of a predominantly Pacific and lower socio-economic community in New Zealand. The results contribute to the literature regarding media coverage of minority communities through an analysis of 388 news articles, drawing on Freire’s (1996/1970) theory of antidialogical action to consider how power is used to marginalise the predominantly Pacific community of South Auckland. The results dem- onstrate that South Aucklanders are subjected to stereotypes and negative labelling that reinforce their marginalisation and exclusion from mainstream New Zealand culture. Keywords: ethnicity, marginalisation, news media, New Zealand, Pacific peoples, Pākehā, representation JEAN M ALLEN and TONI BRUCE University of Auckland Introduction N THIS article, we explore media representations of a predominantly Pacific1 and lower socio-economic community in New Zealand, through the lens of IPaulo Freire’s theory of antidialogical action. For Freire (1970/1996), the pow- er imbalance between what he describes as the haves and have-nots is a form of oppressive action that permits domination over, or prejudicial treatment of, one group or individual by another. In Freire’s (1970/1996) conceptualisation of power as primarily oppressive, power imbalances are maintained through antidialogical action, which limits dialogue between the empowered and the marginalised and hinders the ability of marginalised groups to recognise or gain consciousness of their oppression.

  • A Study of Transience in South Auckland Primary Schools
    A STUDY OF STUDENT TRANSIENCE IN SOUTH AUCKLAND PRIMARY SCHOOLS 1 Introduction: Reports by primary schools teachers and principals talk of the frustration of attempting to educate children who are constantly changing schools2. Anecdotal information from teaching professionals reports that this transience has become worse during the 1990s. Many believe it is linked to the shift to market-related rents in 1993, and the rapidly increased rents that followed this change. These policy changes have made the housing position of many families vulnerable and tenuous, leading to frequent shifts between houses as they attempt to manage high rents and household debts. Reports from budgeting agencies suggest that many families move between renting their own home and sharing one with their extended family, with the high financial cost of renting and the high personal cost of sharing being continuously traded off. Child Poverty Action Group (Inc) is a not-for-profit group of practitioners, activists and academics who advocate for more informed social policy to support children in Aotearoa New Zealand. CPAG is particularly interested in the plight of the one third of New Zealand children who presently live in relative, and occasionally, absolute poverty. CPAG believes that this situation is not the result of economic necessity but due to policy neglect. Through efforts in research and advocacy, CPAG hopes to highlight the unfortunate position of tens of thousands of New Zealand children, and promote public policies that address the underlying causes of much of this poverty. CPAG believes that every child is part of a family/whanau and that one of the best ways to support family/whanau to nurture their children is to ensure that everyone has access to decent, affordable and appropriate housing.

    OECD Economic Surveys NEW ZEALAND JUNE 2013 OVERVIEW This document and any map included herein are without prejudice to the status of or sovereignty over any territory, to the delimitation of international frontiers and boundaries and to the name of any territory, city or area. The statistical data for Israel are supplied by and under the responsibility of the relevant Israeli authorities. The use of such data by the OECD is without prejudice to the status of the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and Israeli settlements in the West Bank under the terms of international law. Summary © OECD 2013 1 Main findings The New Zealand economy is beginning to gain some momentum, with post-earthquake reconstruction, business investment and household spending gathering pace. Risks to growth remain, however, stemming from high private debt levels, weak foreign demand, large external imbalances, volatile terms of trade, a severe drought and an exchange rate that appears overvalued. The main structural challenge will be to create the conditions that encourage resources to shift towards more sustainable sources of prosperity. Incomes per head are well below the OECD average, and productivity growth has been sluggish for a long time. Lifting living standards sustainably and equitably will require structural reforms to improve productivity performance and the quality of human capital. Macroeconomic policies strike the right balance between supporting the recovery and ensuring medium-term sustainability. Monetary policy is appropriately accommodative, given the high exchange rate, weak employment growth and subdued inflation. However, domestic demand is firming, and price pressures from earthquake rebuilding and housing markets are likely to strengthen.
