    The Jobs Letter No. 171 30 August 2002 Essential Information on an Essential Issue • The Jobs Letter editors admit being as surprised as anyone when KEY watching the spectacular crumbling of support for the National Party in the last election and the consequent rise in popularity of the smaller WORK / LIFE BALANCE parties New Zealand First (10.38% of the vote and 13 seats) and United WHOS WHO 2002 Future (6.69% of the votes and 8 seats). A common question asked in the weeks following the election was: Just what do these parties really NZ FIRST AND UNITED FUTURE believe in? THE FAMILY With NZ First, we did contact the party before the election to ask them WINZ AND THE INTERNET to fill out their policy platform in terms of employment issues (see FUTURE OF WORK RESEARCH special issue of The Jobs Letter No.168), but — unlike every other party YOUTH EMPLOYMENT — they never got back to us. NZ First really only campaigned on three RESEARCH issues during the election —”fixing up” the immigration mess, the FUNDING TO THE COMMUNITY Treaty of Waitangi “industry”, and law and order. SECTOR Given their thirteen parliamentary seats, we thought we would try again REFUGEES AND MIGRANTS for this issue ... but unfortunately, despite our phonecalls and emails, we got the same lack of response. DIARY • For our special election issue, The Jobs Letter editors completely ignored United Future in terms of asking them our standard employ- ment policy questions ... yes, we certainly got that wrong! So, as with NZ 6 August 2002 First, we thought we’d give the party a chance to flesh out their policies Air NZ is advertising to attract 150 more aircraft engineers.

As iwi (indigenous nations) we share responsibility for the well-being of our whānau (families) and tamariki mokopuna. Hitting and physical force within whānau is a viola- tion of the mana (prestige, power) and tāpu (sacredness) of those who are hit and those who hit. We will continue to work to dispel the illusion that violence is normal, acceptable or culturally valid.

ADVERTISING AND THE MARKET ORIENTATION OF POLITICAL PARTIES CONTESTING THE 1999 AND 2002 NEW ZEALAND GENERAL ELECTION CAMPAIGNS A THESIS PRESENTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICS AT MASSEY UNIVERSITY, PALMERSTON NORTH, NEW ZEALAND. CLAIRE ELIZABETH ROBINSON 2006 i ABSTRACT This thesis proposes an alternative way of establishing a link between market orientation and electoral success, by focusing on market orientation as a message instead of as a management function. Using interpretive textual analysis the thesis examines the advertising messages of the highest polling political parties for evidence of voter orientation and competitor orientation in the 1999 and 2002 New Zealand general election campaigns. Relating manifest market orientation to a number of statistical indicators of electoral success the thesis looks for plausible associations between the visual manifestation of market orientation in political advertisements and parties’ achievement of their party vote goals in the 1999 and 2002 elections. It offers party-focused explanations for electoral outcomes to complement existing voter-centric explanations, and adds another level of scholarly understanding of recent electoral outcomes in New Zealand. While the thesis finds little association between demonstration ofcompetitor orientation in political advertisements and electoral success, it finds a plausible relationship between parties that demonstrated a voter orientation in their political advertisements and goal achievement.

Jeremy’s TI Source Book 2000 pioneered the concept of the National Integrity System, and his untimely death in 2012 robbed New Zealand and the world of one of its leading anti-corruption and human rights champions. We hope that this report and, more particularly, the actions taken to strengthen integrity following its completion, will serve as further testament to Jeremy’s life’s work. 2 Integrity Plus 2013 New Zealand National Integrity System Assessment PREFACE TAKING INTEGRITY MORE SERIOUSLY IN NEW ZEALAND This report documents the second assessment by Transparency International New Zealand (TINZ) of the effectiveness of New Zealand’s National Integrity System, 10 years on from the initial study (2003). It also coincides with the centenary of the coming into effect of the Public Service Act 1912, which introduced a professional, merit-based public service in New Zealand.
