    IN CONFIDENCE Strategic COVID-19 Public Health Advisory Group Terms of Reference Context 1. Aotearoa’s COVID-19 elimination strategy has served New Zealanders well both in terms of health and economic outcomes. One of the keys to that success has been our commitment to constantly learn, adapt and look to the future. This will continue to be critical as we roll out our mass vaccination campaign and move into a new post-pandemic phase of our response. 2. As vaccine coverage increases throughout 2021 the Government will face a number of decisions regarding our border and public health settings. At the same time, we must be to ready to respond to any changes in the epidemiology of COVID-19, including the possible emergence of new variants. 3. To ensure our ongoing response is informed by the best available scientific evidence and expert advice, as the responsible Minister for COVID-19 response I am establishing the Strategic COVID-19 Public Health Advisory Group (the Group) to report to myself (via Minister Verrall) and the COVID-19 Ministerial Group on some of the challenges and opportunities we face. 4. I intend that the Group will work with the COVID-19 Independent Continuous Review, Improvement and Advice Group, especially around health protections post vaccine. The timing benefits both groups giving an opportunity to align their priorities and working approach to eliminate any duplication and cover any gaps. Purpose of the Strategic COVID-19 Public Health Advisory Group 5. The Group will provide independent advice on our ongoing COVID-19 response informed by their expertise in epidemiology, infectious diseases, public health, and modelling.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Me Haka I te Haka a Tānerore?: Māori 'Post-War' Culture and the Place of Haka in Commemoration at Gallipoli Abstract This article is an extensive discussion from a Maori perspective into issues around the use of Maori cultural terms, in particular haka, to commemorate the fallen in WWI. Embedded in the article are key theories of cultural memory, 'war culture' and 'post-war culture'. The research outlines the differences between European and Indigenous war and post war cultural practices focusing on Maori. It seeks to understand the reluctance of Turkish officials to see haka being performed when it was apparently banned from ceremonies in 2005. It outlines the media reporting on the issue and the subsequent reintroduction of haka in August 2015 at the centenary of the Chunuk Bair battle.

  • 2013 Academy Annual Report
    This document has been created from historical website content. 2013 Academy Annual Report The 2013 Academy Annual Report details the accomplishments of the Academy of the Royal Society of New Zealand throughout the year. Chair’s foreword As Chair of the Academy Executive Committee since July 2013, I would like to extend my thanks to Professor Richard Le Heron, who preceded me during the first 6 months of 2013, for his effort in guiding the Academy during that time. Thereafter, he supported and advised me in my role as Chair. Also over the last year the Academy Executive Committee members that sat on the Society’s Council comprising Professor Sir David Skegg (President RSNZ), Professor Richard Le Heron, Dr John Caradus, Professor Michael Corballis, Dr Stephen Goldson, Professor Keith Hunter, Professor Margaret Tennant and Professor Richard Bedford worked to enhance the profile of the Academy as the intellectual focus of Royal Society of New Zealand. An important role of the Chair of the Academy is to chair the annual Fellowship election process. The 2013 round resulted in the selection of 13 new Fellows and two new Honorary Fellows. The Fellowship at 31 December stood at 389 and Honorary Fellowship at 59. This year some modifications to the election procedure introduced on a trial basis last year were continued and the process operated very smoothly, thanks largely to excellent preparatory work done by Gill Sutherland, Senior Manager—Society Secretariat. As a result of consultation with both the Fellows and the representatives of the constituent organisations, it was suggested that the Academy should become more active in preparing RSNZ Expert Advice Papers using both Fellows and the wider communities to formulate well researched documents for public dissemination.

  • Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine Identities
    1 Victoria University of Wellington School of English, Film, Theatre and Media Studies Blackout: Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine identities Sepelini Mua’au A thesis submitted to the University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a Masters in Arts (Theatre) 2016 2 Blackout: Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine identities Abstract This thesis examines key ideas concerning masculinity and Samoan identity, focusing on the external and internal pressures placed on Pacific Island athletes in New Zealand and abroad to inform the development of an original script, Blackout. In 2014, as part of an Honours script-writing course, I wrote a first draft for my first full- length play. Inspired by the work of Samoan playwright Oscar Kightley, Blackout is a play that intersects the story of four young Pacific Island boys in their last year of College with the journey of a talented young Pacific Islander in his mid-20s trying to make his way in the Professional Rugby world. This thesis is part of a practice- based research project, comprising a 60% theory-based thesis (25,000 words) and 40% practical component, developing the script through three workshop productions. The two working questions the thesis and production process centre on are, firstly how the experiences of young second generation Samoan males can be explored through a contemporary theatre text, enabling the research to develop the story and characters of the play. The second, how the development of this script can enhance an understanding of what it is to be an emerging playwright, grounding the piece in personal experiences and contributing discoveries for young Pacific Playwrights.

It looks at the background forces behind the premier kapa haka event, Te Matatini, that allows it the perform this bicultural labor, in addition to looking at concrete ways in which it could improve its effectiveness. These forces stem from the connection between sport and national identity and how sporting events act as a conductor for national affiliation. Te Matatini employs most of the structural components of sports: being competitive, organized and regulated, and regularly scheduled. Changes to the experience of a spectators could be useful in broadening participation with the event, currently predominately attended by Māori, to support an integrated form of biculturalism that is often lacking in New Zealand. Some of these changes include: providing translations of events, integrating new technology for more interaction online and off, and possibly forming a competition group of Pākehā specifically.
