Hansard 8 September 1994 Legislative Assembly 9417 8 September 1994 THURSDAY, 8 SEPTEMBER 1994 Youth Training Centre instigated by the National Party Government, the member attacked the State Archivist. The member asked— "Why would the State Archivist work so Mr SPEAKER (Hon. J. Fouras, Ashgrove) uncharacteristically fast to destroy a volume read prayers and took the chair at 10 a.m. of material on a matter which was 'no longer required or pertinent'?" PETITIONS He also said— The Clerk announced the receipt of the "Public servants are not usually noted following petitions— for such fast replies, especially on such serious matters as we have before us now, particularly when there appears to be a Teachers denial of justice." From Mr Mitchell (25 signatories) praying And he capped all this with the statement— that the Parliament of Queensland will ensure that teachers are not suspended without pay "The question that must be answered prior to a court conviction or finding of fault by in relation to the State Archivist is: were the disciplinary procedures; that there is a prompt State Archivist and her assistant puppets for investigation of complaints made against the Government?" teachers; that teachers are immediately informed These are gross personal insults to public of allegations made against them; that action is servants, who are not able to come here to taken to support teachers with a fair and effective defend themselves. The first smear suggests disciplinary structure in the schools; and that that the Archivist worked unusually quickly for action is taken to penalise individuals who make some sort of ulterior motive.

The second smear is that Royal Commission into Aboriginal the archivist and other public servants work Deaths in Custody slowly and are slow to send replies, especially on serious matters.

Petitions received. The Office of State Archivist has the legislative authority to authorise or prohibit the PAPER destruction of records. I point out that, contrary to the member's allegation, the Archivist did not The following paper was laid on the table— destroy the records. Any contact with the State Minister for Justice and Attorney–General and Archivist has been in accordance with the Minister for the Arts (Mr Wells)— Libraries and Archives Act. I have every Electoral Commission of Queensland— confidence in the Archivist, who, incidentally, Mirani By-Election 1994 Statistical was not a Goss Government appointment, and Returns. who, in common with the vast majority of public servants, has always upheld the highest standards of integrity and efficiency. MINISTERIAL STATEMENT I suggest that the member for Clayfield is State Archivist; Shredding of Heiner judging this Government by what he knows of Documents the Government of his coalition partners. On 30 Hon. G. R.

    Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 21st September 2016 Newsletter #140 By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan RIKEY DID the Vodafone Warriors get hammered at the weekend. The constant theme was that we Cneed a player clearout. That is hardly groundbreaking stuff, but what was, was that players were named. Hugh McGahan singled out Manu Vatuvei and Ben Matulino, arguing both had failed to live up their status as two of our highest paid players. The former Kiwi captain said Warriors coach Stephen Kearney could make a mark by showing the pair the door, and proving to the others that poor performances won't be tolerated. “Irrespective of his standing, Manu Vatuvei has got to go,” McGahan told Tony Veitch. “And again, irre- spective of his standing, Ben Matulino has got to go. They have underperformed. If you're going to make an impact I'd say that's probably the two players that you would look at.” Bold stuff, and fair play to the man, he told it like he saw it. Kearney, on the other hand, clearly doesn’t see it the same way, since he named both in the Kiwis train-on squad, and while he acknowledged they had struggled this year, he backed himself to get the best out of them. In fact he went further, he said it was his job. “That's my responsibility as the coach, to get the individuals in a position so they can go out and play their best.

Of course the Kiwis take on Samoa on Saturday night at Mt Smart, and that one should be a good game too. League legend Olsen Filipaina is taking the ball out, which is pretty cool given he has represented the Kiwis and Samoa. The game I am looking forward to is the Kiwis v Tonga in Hamilton, because there is not going to be a lot of love lost when those two sides meet, after everything that has gone on. Before a ball is kicked I have the Kiwis lunch at the Ellerslie Events Centre to look forward to on Friday. When Pete asked if I would take it on with Gordon Gibbons and Tony Feasey, I foolishly said yes, not want- ing to let Pete down. But in truth Gordon has been amazing and we have an incredible line-up of Kiwis greats taking to the stage, and players with a long history of World Cup and test glory in attendance. I have been to several of Peter’s Kiwis lunches and enjoyed every one of them.

Issues of Power in a History of Women’s Football in New Zealand: A Foucauldian Genealogy A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Waikato by BARBARA DOUGLAS COX MBE Department of Sport and Leisure Studies School of Education University of Waikato 2010 ABSTRACT In the majority of countries throughout the world, football is a highly popular sport for women and girls and one which continues to grow in playing numbers. According to FIFA, 26 million females were registered as football players in its member countries, an increase of four million players within the past five years (FIFA Big Count, 2006). Despite such popularity of participation, histories of women‟s football „speak‟ of exclusion, struggle and conflict, and thus, the prime question which underpins this study is: “how has women‟s football in New Zealand gone from a position of struggle to a point where the game is perceived as a „normal‟ sporting activity for women and girls?” In order to examine this question, I have used Michel Foucault‟s concept of conducting a „history of the present‟, a genealogical approach which accounts for the “constitution of knowledges, discourses, domains of objects and so on...” (Foucault, 1978, p.

Photos courtesy of www.photosport.co.nz HAT A fantastic time we had at Mt Smart, home of the Vodafone Warriors, on Saturday. WThe team did us proud, putting the Canberra Raiders to the sword, winning 30-8 with Tuimoala Lolo- hea getting a double, but the whole team played well. It was a tremendous way for Jacob Lillyman to celebrate playing his 200th NRL game, and for Bodene Thompson to bring up his century. Unfortunately,because I am hosting the Mad Butcher Club in the Stacey Jones Lounge, I don’t always see as much of the game as I would like, but the payback is meeting fabulous people. Because of health and safety rules, we are only allowed 228 people, so getting in is not always easy, but on Saturday we had people from all over the country, including a group from Wanganui, who were able to attend courtesy of the club, just as a break from their flooding troubles. We must have sung Happy Birthday a half a dozen times. First for Sam Harris, 10, from Christchurch. We made a fuss of him and his father tells me he has not stopped talking about it yet. Then there was the five-year-old son of Bradley King, The Rock Station Manager.
