March 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT In 1981, during the height of apartheid, the South African national rugby team, the Springboks, toured to New Zealand and the United States of America. In South Africa, the tour was expected to reopen the doors to international competition for the Springboks after an anti-apartheid sporting boycott had forced the sport into relative isolation during the 1970s. In the face of much international condemnation, the Springboks toured to New Zealand and the USA in 1981 where they encountered large and often violent demonstrations as those who opposed the tour attempted to scuttle it.

  • Chapter 4 Extract
    EXTRACT FROM DIRTY POLITICS BY NICKY HAGER. PUBLISHED IN 2014 BY CRAIG POTTON PUBLISHING. CHAPTER 4 THE CRUSHER AND THE ATTACK DOG The attack bloggers’ point of contact in the National government, year after year, remained John Key’s office. But Cameron Slater had another close friend and ally in the government, Cabinet minister Judith Collins. They had much in common. One cultivated the iron woman persona of Crusher Collins, future prime minister, the other the reckless bully-boy persona of Whale Oil, crusading outsider. They were drawn together by right-wing politics and a shared attraction to aggressive and often petty attack politics. Slater was a devoted supporter of Collins, using his blog to promote her and to attack her critics. Collins, in return, fed a continuous supply of material to Slater: public press releases, political gossip, tip-offs and serious leaks. She boast- ed for him in 2013 that ‘you might not like it but Whaleoil is better informed and better read than any other news outlet or social media’.1 They talked often by phone, and in the evenings and weekends they chatted via Facebook. In work hours Collins e-mailed him directly from her sixth-floor Beehive office. Often their exchanges were about small events of the day. The following are typical of Collins’s messages: ‘You should whack these guys hard, they are truly pathetic’;2 ‘Cam, FYI. Another own goal for plughead’, her name for Labour MP Clayton Cosgrove;3 could he edit her Wikipedia page and replace an unflattering photo;4 and, forwarding a document, ‘I think I seri- ously annoyed certain people over it.

Negotiations at party leader level concluded this week and the package is expected to go to Cabinet on Monday, for possible announcement ahead of next week’s Just Transitions Summit in New Plymouth. Infrastructure pressures and the Stiassny resignation Page 2 Parliamentary Questions from National’s Paul Goldsmith suggest conduct issues were one of the reasons Michael Stiassny resigned from the NZ Transport Agency unexpectedly last week. Clashes over funding priorities are also believed to have been a significant factor, especially over the govt’s Auckland light rail ambitions. The case for a Cabinet reshuffle Page 2 The govt’s ‘year of delivery’ is being hampered by several areas of significant ministerial under- performance, which in turn make the PM vulnerable to attacks on her competence as a party leader and political persuader, notwithstanding her instinctive capacity for empathy. The case for a refreshment of the Cabinet line-up is growing. Is Judith Collins the best defence Simon Bridges has? Page 3 There is a growing mood in the National Party membership and parliamentary caucus to replace Simon Bridges. However, if the alternative is Judith Collins, a significant chunk of the parliamentary wing, in particular, appears to be baulking. Realpolitik suggests whoever leads National in 2020 will still lose the election, so there is technically no urgency to move.

  • Professionalization and Competitive Balance in NZ Rugby Union
    ISSN 0111-1760 University of Otago Economics Discussion Papers No. 0214 December 2002 Professionalization of New Zealand Rugby Union: Historical Background, Structural Changes and Competitive Balance* P. Dorian Owen and Clayton R. Weatherston University of Otago New Zealand Treasury Abstract The transformation of rugby union from an amateur to a professional sport since 1995 has led to significant changes in the structure of the game. This paper documents the changes in the organizational structures that have occurred since professionalization, with a particular focus on New Zealand. We provide a brief historical overview of the development of rugby union in New Zealand, including a discussion of the forces that led to professionalization. We outline the changes that have occurred in the labour market and to the organization of competitions, including the new cross-national franchise-based Super 12 and Tri-Nations competitions and their relationship to the more traditional National Provincial Championship (NPC). The roles and objectives of the various national and cross-national organizing bodies are examined. The main focus is on the degree of competitive balance in the different competitions under the current organizational structure and any effects this has had on the overall performance of New Zealand’s national team, the All Blacks. Current issues of relevance to administrators of rugby in New Zealand (such as financial and competitive balance in the NPC and possible reconfiguration of the Super 12 competition) are also discussed.

  • New Zealand New Zealand at a Glance: 2002-03
    COUNTRY REPORT New Zealand New Zealand at a glance: 2002-03 OVERVIEW The Labour-Alliance government still looks set to see out its full term of office, with an election due at end-2002. But it could have a tough year, with the economy weakening and various other issues to contend with. The opposition National Party is beginning to score some hits against the government. Relations with Australia may prove difficult over the next two years. Despite a good start to the year, real GDP growth will slow to 1.7% in 2001, before picking up in 2002-03. Consumer price inflation is likely to remain high until the middle of 2002 in view of the current strength of producer price inflation; thereafter it should return to the 1-2% range. After a sharp contraction in 2001, the result in part of increased agricultural merchandise exports, the current-account deficit will stabilise in 2002 and 2003. The New Zealand dollar is likely to remain volatile in 2002 and 2003, but will tend to strengthen against the US dollar over time. Key changes from last month Political outlook • The collapse of the airline, Ansett Australia, has already complicated trans- Tasman relations, but has yet to seriously dent the public standing of the prime minister, Helen Clark, or her Labour party. Renationalisation could pose some long-term problems. Economic policy outlook • The fiscal outturn for 2000/01 was better than forecast, but slower growth will pull down the budget surplus in 2001/02. The Reserve Bank (the central bank) cut the overnight cash rate by 0.5 percentage points on September 19th, suggesting that worries about inflation levels will take a back seat in monetary policy, for a few months at least.
