Almost the same, but not white’ : Maori and Aotearoa/New Zealand’s 1981 Springbok Tour Abstract The contradictions exposed by Maori responses to the 1981 Springbok rugby tour are clearly seen on the East Coast of New Zealand’s North Island, as they were in every other iwi.1 The Springboks were welcomed at Te Poho-o-Rawiri marae at the same time as other Ngati Porou, Rongowhakaata and other local Maori were spreading broken glass across the playing field at Gisborne’s Rugby Park — the visitors were told in no uncertain terms that they would not be welcomed again. Others from the region could not see the problem. Rugby great, George Nepia, said in 1985 ‘we have got what we wanted — the Maori in All Black teams that play in South Africa. I can’t make out why other teams can visit South Africa without all the fuss’ (Romanos 39).

  • Paper 2, Question 4 Crisis of Apartheid
    GREY COLLEGE SECONDARY HISTORY GRADE 12 PAPER 2, QUESTION 4 CRISIS OF APARTHEID 1. ANTI-APARTHEID MOVEMENTS IN BRITAIN AND IRELAND Apartheid was widely criticized internationally but little was done to force the South African government to abandon its policies. Anti-apartheid groups were formed by ordinary people in several European countries. They were outraged by the human rights abuses occurring in South Africa and tried to persuade their governments to take action. 1.1 BRITISH AAM A group of South African exiles and their British supporters called for a boycott on the import of South African goods like fruit and cigarettes. The AAM campaigned to end Apartheid by means of boycotts and isolating SA from international community. Set up the International Defence and Aid Fund (IDAF): In the 1980s the International Defence and Aid Fund (IDAF) funded state of emergency detentions smuggled R200 million into South Africa/ created a network of donors who funded the release of political prisoners/ From January 1985 IDAF funded 16 551 legal matters (e.g. detentions, common law prosecutions of street activists) 1.2 IRISH AAM (IAAM) Founded in 1964 One of the founders was Kader Asmal, an ANC exile - became Minister of Education Started sports, cultural, economic and academic boycotts. Gave direct support to liberation movements like ANC. 1 PW Botha's Rubicon speech (1985) forced the international community into action, which embarked on various forms of boycotts, sanctions and disinvestments against the apartheid regime. 2.

  • Institutional Racism and the Dynamics of Privilege in Public Health
    Institutional Racism and the Dynamics of Privilege in Public Health A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management at The University of Waikato by HEATHER ANNE CAME _____________________________________ 2012 ABSTRACT Institutional racism, a pattern of differential access to material resources and power determined by race, advantages one sector of the population while disadvantaging another. Such racism is not only about conspicuous acts of violence but can be carried in the hold of mono-cultural perspectives. Overt state violation of principles contributes to the backdrop against which much less overt yet insidious violations occur. New Zealand health policy is one such mono- cultural domain. It is dominated by western bio-medical discourses that preclude and under-value Māori,1 the indigenous peoples of this land, in the conceptualisation, structure, content, and processes of health policies, despite Te Tiriti o Waitangi2 guarantees to protect Māori interests. Since the 1980s, the Department of Health has committed to honouring the Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of Māori-settler relationships and governance arrangements. Subsequent Waitangi Tribunal reports, produced by an independent Commission of Inquiry have documented the often-illegal actions of successive governments advancing the interests of Pākehā3 at the expense of Māori. Institutional controls have not prevented inequities between Māori and non-Māori across a plethora of social and economic indicators. Activist scholars work to expose and transform perceived inequities. My research interest lies in how Crown Ministers and officials within the public health sector practice institutional racism and privilege and how it can be transformed.

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.

According to the available evidence, org/10.18820/24150509/ a formal relationship between the South African Rugby SJCH46.v1.5 Football Board and the Israel Rugby Football Union was only concluded 20 years later.

  • The Anti-Apartheid Movements in Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand
    The anti-apartheid movements in Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand By Peter Limb Introduction The history of the anti-apartheid movement(s) (AAM) in Aotearoa/New Zealand and Australia is one of multi-faceted solidarity action with strong international, but also regional and historical dimensions that gave it specific features, most notably the role of sports sanctions and the relationship of indigenous peoples’ struggles to the AAM. Most writings on the movement in Australia are in the form of memoirs, though Christine Jennett in 1989 produced an analysis of it as a social movement. New Zealand too has insightful memoirs and fine studies of the divisive 1981 rugby tour. The movement’s internal history is less known. This chapter is the first history of the movement in both countries. It explains the movement’s nature, details its history, and discusses its significance and lessons.1 The movement was a complex mosaic of bodies of diverse forms: there was never a singular, centralised organisation. Components included specific anti-apartheid groups, some of them loose coalitions, others tightly focused, and broader supportive organisations such as unions, churches and NGOs. If activists came largely from left- wing, union, student, church and South African communities, supporters came from a broader social range. The liberation movement was connected organically not only through politics, but also via the presence of South Africans, prominent in Australia, if rather less so in New Zealand. The political configuration of each country influenced choice of alliance and depth of interrelationships. Forms of struggle varied over time and place. There were internal contradictions and divisive issues, and questions around tactics, armed struggle and sanctions, and how to relate to internal racism.

My strength lies not in my right hand but in those who stand around me. This thesis owes its existence to the many people who stand around me. My thanks must go in the first instance to my supervisor, Kerry Taylor. Throughout the duration of this thesis he has provided exceptionally strong support and constant encouragement. The times spent discussing various issues in person, by telephone and email were numerous and he has been very patient and generous with his time. Above all I value his constructive criticism. Also appreciated has been the willingness of Lachy Paterson to discuss various issues and introduce new perspectives. I owe a great debt to those whom I interviewed either in person or by email. For me this was the most interesting, rewarding and enjoyable part of the thesis. I would not have been able to write it in the way I wished without their willingness to share their experiences and critical insights.

  • 1981 Springbok Tour Introduction New Zealand in the 1980S The
    Student 2: High Merit 1981 Springbok Tour Introduction New Zealand in the 1980s The 1980s was a time of many international developments. This era was significant to New Zealand gaining its own independence and freedom of speech rather than conforming to the motherland that is Britain. An example of a protest in 1980s New Zealand that shook the nation was the Anti-springbok tour protests, which began in 1981. The Springbok Protests were the first protests in New Zealand where New Zealand was totally divided into two groups. In fact, New Zealand was dangerously close to civil war, a terrifying prospect for any country. The springbok protest was about issues with the South African Rugby Team playing rugby with the New Zealand Rugby team the All Blacks due to apartheid in South Africa at the time. Apartheid is the segregation of races, in this case the separation of the blacks and [1] whites in South America due to the belief that blacks were inferior to the whites. One group in New Zealand believed that if the New Zealand rugby team became involved with the South African rugby team, it would show to South Africa and indeed the rest of the world that New Zealand had no issue with Apartheid. However, another group in New Zealand believed that supporting sport between countries had no political meaning and did not show that New Zealand accepted the Apartheid in South Africa. South African Apartheid The South African Apartheid that had been in policy in South Africa was a cause of the protests against the Springbok tour in New Zealand in the 1980s.
