Rethinking Arboreal Heritage for Twenty-First-Century Aotearoa New Zealand
NATURAL MONUMENTS: RETHINKING ARBOREAL HERITAGE FOR TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND Susette Goldsmith A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2018 ABSTRACT The twenty-first century is imposing significant challenges on nature in general with the arrival of climate change, and on arboreal heritage in particular through pressures for building expansion. This thesis examines the notion of tree heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand at this current point in time and questions what it is, how it comes about, and what values, meanings and understandings and human and non-human forces are at its heart. While the acknowledgement of arboreal heritage can be regarded as the duty of all New Zealanders, its maintenance and protection are most often perceived to be the responsibility of local authorities and heritage practitioners. This study questions the validity of the evaluation methods currently employed in the tree heritage listing process, tree listing itself, and the efficacy of tree protection provisions. The thesis presents a multiple case study of discrete sites of arboreal heritage that are all associated with a single native tree species—karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus). The focus of the case studies is not on the trees themselves, however, but on the ways in which the tree sites fill the heritage roles required of them entailing an examination of the complicated networks of trees, people, events, organisations, policies and politics situated within the case studies, and within arboreal heritage itself. Accordingly, the thesis adopts a critical theoretical perspective, informed by various interpretations of Actor Network Theory and Assemblage Theory, and takes a ‘counter-’approach to the authorised heritage discourse introducing a new notion of an ‘unauthorised arboreal heritage discourse’. -
The Politics of Post-War Consumer Culture
New Zealand Journal of History, 40, 2 (2006) The Politics of Post-War Consumer Culture THE 1940s ARE INTERESTING YEARS in the story of New Zealand’s consumer culture. The realities of working and spending, and the promulgation of ideals and moralities around consumer behaviour, were closely related to the political process. Labour had come to power in 1935 promising to alleviate the hardship of the depression years and improve the standard of living of all New Zealanders. World War II intervened, replacing the image of increasing prosperity with one of sacrifice. In the shadow of the war the economy grew strongly, but there remained a legacy of shortages at a time when many sought material advancement. Historical writing on consumer culture is burgeoning internationally, and starting to emerge in New Zealand. There is already some local discussion of consumption in the post-war period, particularly with respect to clothing, embodiment and housing.1 This is an important area for study because, as Peter Gibbons points out, the consumption of goods — along with the needs they express and the desires they engender — deeply affects individual lives and social relationships.2 A number of aspects of consumption lend themselves to historical analysis, including the economic, the symbolic, the moral and the political. By exploring the political aspects of consumption and their relationships to these other strands, we can see how intense contestation over the symbolic meaning of consumption and its relationship to production played a pivotal role in defining the differences between the Labour government and the National opposition in the 1940s. -

A Diachronic Study of Unparliamentary Language in the New Zealand Parliament, 1890-1950
WITHDRAW AND APOLOGISE: A DIACHRONIC STUDY OF UNPARLIAMENTARY LANGUAGE IN THE NEW ZEALAND PARLIAMENT, 1890-1950 BY RUTH GRAHAM A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Linguistics Victoria University of Wellington 2016 ii “Parliament, after all, is not a Sunday school; it is a talking-shop; a place of debate”. (Barnard, 1943) iii Abstract This study presents a diachronic analysis of the language ruled to be unparliamentary in the New Zealand Parliament from 1890 to 1950. While unparliamentary language is sometimes referred to as ‘parliamentary insults’ (Ilie, 2001), this study has a wider definition: the language used in a legislative chamber is unparliamentary when it is ruled or signalled by the Speaker as out of order or likely to cause disorder. The user is required to articulate a statement of withdrawal and apology or risk further censure. The analysis uses the Communities of Practice theoretical framework, developed by Wenger (1998) and enhanced with linguistic impoliteness, as defined by Mills (2005) in order to contextualise the use of unparliamentary language within a highly regulated institutional setting. The study identifies and categorises the lexis of unparliamentary language, including a focus on examples that use New Zealand English or te reo Māori. Approximately 2600 examples of unparliamentary language, along with bibliographic, lexical, descriptive and contextual information, were entered into a custom designed relational database. The examples were categorised into three: ‘core concepts’, ‘personal reflections’ and the ‘political environment’, with a number of sub-categories. This revealed a previously unknown category of ‘situation dependent’ unparliamentary language and a creative use of ‘animal reflections’. -
Section Viii
OFPICI&L RECORD SECTION VIII. NEW ZEALAND PROVINCIAL COCRTS. XOSTof the provincial districts of New Zealand grouped their staple exhibits in special courts, which were in several cases highly decorative, and invariably with the exhibits conveniently classified, well labelled, and displayed with a good eye to artistic effect. Cnfoitunately two of the most important provinces, Wellington and Otago, were not represented by special courts ; and the lasity of the business men of Wellington and Dunedin Gities in this respect via in remarkable contrast to the public-spirited energy of, for instance, the Westland people, whose display of their products and resources was probably the most complete in the Exhibition. Dunedin and Wellington lost a splendid opportunity for advertisement ; many of the productions and manufactures of their provinces were, it is true, on view, but scattered and dispersed amongst the thousands of private exhibits in the big building. Westland and the two Canterbury Co* combined the utilitarian and the ornamental very happily ; the solidness of the displas of minerals, and timber, and cereals, and flax, and wool were skilfully redeemed from the prosaic by the introduction of suggestions of nature in ferns and flowers and corn-sheaves, and by galleries of beautiful pictures. duckland's Court was picturesque and hright, but here one could not help feeling that an even more expansive and attractive display might easily have been nude. It was, after all, inadequate when one mentally rewiewed the singularly varied character of the largest and richest province of the co'ony and the multitude and magnitude of its resources and its industrial interests. -

Weka declines in the north and north-west of the South Island, New Zealand A. J. BEAUCHAMP 71 Church Street, Onerahi, Whangarei, New Zealand ABSTRACT Population trends in the Western Weka (Gallirallus australis australis) in Golden Bay and the Marlborough Sounds were examined by field surveys and reference to the literature. Weka declined on the southern margin of Kenepuru Sound in 1995-96, but they were still at 0.10 and 0.06 ha-1 at Big Bay, Endeavour Inlet, and Long Bay near St. Omer, respectively. Weka numbers have declined in lowland Golden Bay to less than 0.01 ha-1 since 1986. The reasons for this declines is unknown, but it appears that high densities of mustelids peaks and climatic extremes are times when Weka populations need close monitoring. KEYWORDS: Western Weka, Gallirallus australis, distribution,decline. INTRODUCTION Weka (Gallirallus az4stralis) populations have historically been unevenly distributed in New Zealand (Annabell 1922, Myres 1923, Hogan 1994). Weka were abundant during the late 1880s to the 1920s, when bush was being cleared for farming in the North Island. However, by the late 1920s they became restricted to Northland and inland East Cape (Myres 1923, Moncrieff 1928), and since then these populations have collapsed (Beauchamp 1997a, Beauchamp et al. 1998). Weka were common in many parts of the South Island, but after the 1920s have persisted only in parts of the north and west (Pascoe 1983, Evison 1993, Anderson 1994, Brailsford 1996). Major declines occurred in Westland Valleys after mustelids arrived late last century (Harper 1896, King 1983). Further changes in distribution and numbers have occurred over the past 50 years. -
European Parliament DANZ Report
European Parliament Delegation for relations with Australia and New Zealand (DANZ) visit Auckland and Wellington 23-26 February 2020 Report on the European Parliament’s Delegation for relations with Australia and New Zealand (DANZ) visit 23-26 February 2020 Background The European Parliament’s Delegation for relations with Australia and New Zealand (DANZ) and the New Zealand Parliament have regular exchange meetings. 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. This was followed by meetings in Wellington, including with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, three New Zealand Cabinet Ministers and the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. 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. The New Zealand Members of Parliament who attended are listed at the end of this report. -

Supervision As Cultural Partnership: Contributions to Dialogue
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Commons@Waikato Supervision as Cultural Partnership: Contributions to Dialogue Kathie Crocket, Paul Flanagan, Huia Swann, Brent Swann, Tricia Soundy, Bernard Smith, Naarah Simpson, Nigel Pizzini, Maureen Frayling, Ian Frayling, Sandie Finnigan, Joan Campbell, Diana Bush, Arthur Bruce, Janet Baird, Jody Allen, and Zoë Alford Hamilton, Auckand, Queensland, Nelson, Papamoa East, Whangarei, Wairarapa, Otara, Franklin, Tauranga, Gisborne Abstract The term cultural supervision has been coined as part of a strategy that implicates supervision in the support and development of culturally appropriate therapeutic practice. In Aotearoa New Zealand particular focus has been given to supervision where the client is Māori and the practitioner is a member of the dominant Pākehā culture particularly, or of other non-Māori cultures. However, while the phrase cultural supervision has entered common professional parlance, the practice has had little research attention in counselling/psychotherapy in New Zealand. Cultural supervision appears to encompass a range of understandings, and there is no clear agreement about practice implications. It is unclear what alignment there is between aspirations, regulations, and practice. This article reports on an exploratory qualitative study that investigated how supervision might work in supporting culturally appropriate counselling practice in Aotearoa New Zealand. The study’s findings are presented as a multi-voiced dialogue. This arts-based representational practice enacts the uncertainties of post-colonial experience. Its intention is to make assumptions, ideas, and practices available for discussion. Its contribution is to join current dialogue about supervision and culture, and to raise further questions about how supervision and culturally appropriate practice come together.
