Following on from the 2019 BERL report, the work would ensure full costs of the proposal were understood, said Mr Peters. This would provide a definitive view of the infrastructure investment required. “Because connectivity is a key enabler of regional economic growth, consideration also needs to be given to the entire Gisborne to Napier corridor as it would be short-term thinking to ignore the economic, social and tourism benefits that this would deliver for the East Coast region.” The rail link would be future-proofed to reopen at an 18-tonne axle weight and would be hi-cube capable, so it could carry extra-large containers and heavy freight.

Liber A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Health Services Organizations and Policy) in The University of Michigan 2020 Doctoral Committee: Professor Scott Greer, Co-Chair Assistant Professor Holly Jarman, Co-Chair Professor Daniel Béland, McGill University Professor Paula Lantz Alex C. Liber [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0001-7863-3906 © Alex C. Liber 2020 Dedication For Lindsey and Sophia. I love you both to the ends of the earth and am eternally grateful for your tolerance of this project. ii Acknowledgments To my family – Lindsey, you made the greatest sacrifices that allowed this project to come to fruition. You moved away from your family to Michigan. You allowed me to conduct two months of fieldwork when you were pregnant with our daughter. You helped drafts come together and were a constant sounding board and confidant throughout the long process of writing. This would not have been possible without you. Sophia, Poe, and Jo served as motivation for this project and a distraction from it when each was necessary. Mom, Dad, Chad, Max, Julian, and Olivia, as well as Papa Ernie and Grandma Audrey all, helped build the road that I was able to safely walk down in the pursuit of this doctorate. You served as role models, supports, and friends that I could lean on as I grew into my career and adulthood. Lisa, Tony, and Jessica Suarez stepped up to aid Lindsey and me with childcare amid a move, a career transition, and a pandemic.

The process began in the fall of 2011, when the Language and Cross-Culture component of Peace Corps Georgia launched a Georgian Country and Culture Guide project and PCVs from different regions volunteered to do research and gather information on their specific areas. After the initial information was gathered, the arduous process of merging the researched information began. Extensive editing followed and this is the end result. The book is accompanied by a CD with Georgian music and dance audio and video files. We hope that this book is both informative and useful for you during your service.

It identifies potential long term alternative State Highway 2 corridors to improve route security and efficiency between Matata and the State Highway 2/Wainui Road intersection. The site area is shown in Drawing 134960-P101. This is a seeping study only, and identifies preliminarily routes which could potentially be investigated in future. I) The existing State Highway 2 route from Matata to the State Highway Two/Wainui Road intersection deviates significantly from a direct route, resulting in inefficiencies, and as a result use of local roads by state highway traffic. II) In addition, the existing state highway route has route security Issues arising from flooding and the stability of key bridges. Bridge insecurity resulting from scour, overturning, and seismic failure are considered to be significant risks for the Ontrack owned State Highway 2 crossing of the Whakatane River (Pekatahi Bridge). The only alternative crossing of the Whakatane River Is on State Highway 30 (Landing Road Bridge).

This year it was the turn of DANZ to visit New Zealand for the 24th Inter-parliamentary meeting. As the visit was on a non-sitting week for the New Zealand Parliament, this meeting was held in Auckland to enable easier attendance for New Zealand parliamentarians.

DANZ’s visit this year was comprised of a larger delegation than usual. Eight members of the European Parliament (MEPs) came to New Zealand, including a Vice President. The members were from five of the six main political groups in the European Parliament – the European People's Party (Christian Democrats), the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, Renew Europe, the Greens/European Free Alliance and the European Conservatives and Reformists. 1 The DANZ visit was led by Chairperson, Ulrike Müller MEP, who also led the previous delegation to New Zealand in 2018.2 Inter-parliamentary meeting The 2020 meeting was held on Monday 24th February.
