Building Activity On The Rise In Manawatū according to Statistics New Zealand data for October which shows the value of residential building consents in Manawatū is on the increase with residential building consents valued at $25.5 million during the last quarter (end of August) up 13% for the same period last year. Although residential building consents were down 3% in Palmerston North, consents for additions and alterations totalled $2.2 million, which is an increase of 17% compared to the same period last year. Palmerston North Mayor Jono Naylor said that the increase was a sign of recovery in building activity and a big positive for the City and the region. “While the growth in new housing is not happening, residents are choosing to spend money on renovating their homes which is good for local economy.” Graph Source: Manawatu Monthly Economic Update—September 2012 using Stascs NZ data The total Manawatū District residential consent values of $9.4 million in the three months to August, an increase of 45% in the three months to August. Source: Press Release: Palmerston North City Council 2 October 2012 Palmerston North is set to go metropolitan in about five years' time when it is projected to be home to more than 90,000 people. The latest population projections from Statistics New Zealand show the city is the fifth-equal fastest growing area in New Zealand. Mayor Jono Naylor said Palmerston North had already joined Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ's) metropolitan group, as it was already close to the mark at 85,100 and had more issues in common with the major centres than other provincial cities. -

ELECTORAL CHANGE, INERTIA and CAMPAIGNS in NEW ZEALAND the First Modern FPP Campaign in 1987 and the First MMP Campaign in 1996
PARTY POLITICS VOL 9. No.5 pp. 601–618 Copyright © 2003 SAGE Publications London Thousand Oaks New Delhi www.sagepublications.com ELECTORAL CHANGE, INERTIA AND CAMPAIGNS IN NEW ZEALAND The First Modern FPP Campaign in 1987 and the First MMP Campaign in 1996 David Denemark ABSTRACT Electoral change creates important and competing incentives for political parties, parliamentary elites and candidates to transform their campaign techniques in order to maximize votes under the new realities – a process constrained by continued reliance on familiar techniques. In this article I examine two significant moments of electoral change in New Zealand – from partisan stability to dealignment in the late 1980s, and from an SMP/plurality system to Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) represen- tation in 1996 – as a way of exploring inertia and change in the trans- formation of campaigns at the constituency level. Drawing on findings from in-depth interviews conducted with individuals responsible for the parties’ campaigns in the 1987 and 1996 New Zealand general elections, I explore the extent to which political campaign elites, parliamentarians and candidates responded to incentives to adopt a fundamentally new election campaign logic – in these two cases, dictated by the new tactical centrality of marginal seats and geographically defined constituencies in the modern first-past-the-post (FPP) campaign, and then by the ascend- ancy in their place of the party list vote, issue constituencies and nation- wide campaigns under MMP. KEY WORDS campaigns constituency electoral change mixed member proportional New Zealand Introduction Election campaigns – their strategies, techniques and technologies – are the product of the electoral systems within which they are waged (Katz, 1980). -
Amendment Bill
Crimes (Provocation Repeal) Amendment Bill Government Bill As reported from the Justice and Electoral Committee Commentary Recommendation The Justice and Electoral Committee has examined the Crimes (Provocation Repeal) Amendment Bill and recommends that it be passed with the amendments shown. Introduction This bill as introduced proposes to abolish the partial defence of provocation, by repealing sections 169 and 170 of the Crimes Act 1961. Section 169 of the Crimes Act provides that culpable homicide that would otherwise be murder may be reduced to manslaughter if the person who caused the death did so under provocation as defined by the section; section 170 provides that an illegal arrest does not necessarily reduce the offence of murder to manslaughter, but if the offender knows of the illegality then it may be evidence of provoca- tion. 64—2 Crimes (Provocation Repeal) 2 Amendment Bill Commentary Partial defence of provocation abolished We note that the codification of the partial defence of provocation was a reflection of the existing common law partial defence. For the avoidance of doubt, we recommend inserting new clause 5 to make it clear that the common law partial defence would also be abolished by the bill. This would avoid the possibility of defence counsel relying on the defence, so far as it has any effect as a principle of the common law of New Zealand, in cases of culpable homicide. Issues raised in submissions Although we do not recommend amendments as a result of submis- sions we received on the bill, we considered it would be useful to discuss some of the issues that were raised. -
