  • IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS New Zealand Selected Political and Economic Issues
    DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS New Zealand Selected political and economic issues Author: Roberto BENDINI Abstract For many years New Zealand appeared an essentially European country located in the midst of the Pacific Ocean, some 15 000 kilometres from Europe. Yet in recent decades the country has welcomed significant numbers of Asian immigrants and integrated its economy with the emerging economies of its Asian neighbours, and notably China. Recent elections secured another three-year mandate for a coalition of centre-right parties. Led by Prime Minister John Key, the government is expected to further promote investment and adopt business-friendly measures in the upcoming term. With an active foreign policy – especially in the Asia-Pacific region – the country has often participated in UN-led or international peacekeeping missions. New Zealand's upright reputation earned the country a non-permanent seat in the UN Security Council for the period 2015- 2017. Relations with the EU are good despite declining bilateral trade and the country's growing focus on the Asia Pacific region. In 2014 the EU and New Zealand successfully concluded negotiations for a Framework Agreement. Free trade agreement talks may be opened later this year.

    The New Zealand Climate Science Coalition Hon Secretary, Terry Dunleavy MBE JP, 14A Bayview Road, Hauraki, North Shore City 0622 Phone (09) 486 3859 – Mobile 0274 836688 – Email – [email protected] 13 August 2010 High Court asked to invalidate NIWA’s official NZ temperature record The High Court has been asked to invalidate the New Zealand official temperature record (NZTR) as promoted by the Crown Research Institute, NIWA. These records are the historical base of NIWA's scientific advice to central and local government on issues relating to climate change. NIWA maintains temperature archives for the past century, and also projects them forward for the next century. The statement of claim filed on behalf of the New Zealand Climate Science Education Trust (NZCSET) asks the court for three rulings: A: to set aside NIWA's decisions to rely upon its Seven Station Series (7SS) and Eleven Station Series (11SS), and to find the current NZTR to be invalid B: to prevent NIWA from using the current NZTR (or information originally derived from it) for the purpose of advice to any governmental authority or to the public C: to require NIWA to produce a full and accurate NZTR. ''Twentieth-century temperature records are now being challenged all around the world" said Bryan Leyland, spokesman for the NZCSET. "But I think we are the first country where the issues are to be placed squarely before an independent judicial forum." “Many scientists believe that, although the earth has been in a natural warming phase for the past 150 years, it has not heated as much as Government archives claim.

  • New Zealand: Background and Bilateral Relations with the United States
    New Zealand: Background and Bilateral Relations with the United States Bruce Vaughn Specialist in Asian Affairs May 27, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL32876 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress New Zealand: Background and Bilateral Relations with the United States Summary New Zealand is increasingly viewed as a stalwart partner of the United States that welcomes U.S. presence in its region. New Zealand and the United States enjoy very close bilateral ties across the spectrum of relations between the two countries. These ties are based on shared cultural traditions and values as well as on common interests. New Zealand is a stable and active democracy with a focus on liberalizing trade in the Asia-Pacific region. New Zealand also has a history of fighting alongside the United States in most of its major conflicts including World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. New Zealand is a regular contributor to international peace and stability operations and has contributed troops to the struggle against militant Islamists in Afghanistan, where it has a Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) in Bamiyan Province. The bilateral relationship between the United States and New Zealand was strengthened significantly through the signing of the Wellington Declaration in November 2010. At that time, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and New Zealand Prime Minister John Key signaled that past differences over nuclear policy have been set aside as the two described the relationship as the strongest and most productive it has been in 25 years. In the mid-1980s New Zealand adopted a still-in-effect policy of not allowing nuclear armed or nuclear powered ships to visit New Zealand ports.

The A400M’s ability to deliver heavy loads to unpaved runways makes it the best aircraft in the world to deal with such crises. It can carry up to 37 tonnes of supplies, equipment and personnel to the heart of a disaster. This versatile airlifter can even transport vehicles and mobile hospitals if needed.

  • OFFICE of the PRIME MINISTER's SCIENCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE Professor Sir Peter Gluckman, KNZM FRSNZ Fmedsci FRS Chief Science A
    OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER’S SCIENCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE Professor Sir Peter Gluckman, KNZM FRSNZ FMedSci FRS Chief Science Advisor REPORT TO THE PRIME MINISTER ON THE OFFICE OF CHIEF SCIENCE ADVISOR 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2011 1. Preamble I was appointed to the role for an initial two year period from July 1 2009. To ensure independence, the role was filled by secondment from The University of Auckland. Formally, the position was created as a one-person Ministerial Advisory Committee accountable to the Prime Minister, carrying with it the title of Chief Science Advisor. While this has operated well within Government, the concept of a one-person advisory committee has caused a degree of confusion and misunderstanding in some quarters and considerable expectations from the public and scientific community on what might be expected of it, in the presumption that it is a substantive corpus of people and resources. 2. Administrative and liaison matters Although the Office is independent of the State Service, the budget is provided via DPMC. The Office has operated within budget and the administrative arrangements have operated smoothly. I have kept the staff small – Dr Alan Beedle (0.8 FTE) acts as my chief of staff and Dr Stephen Goldson (0.3 FTE), who is a senior member of AgResearch’s staff based in Lincoln and who is also Chairman of the Academy of the Royal Society of New Zealand, acts as my strategic advisor and has deputised for me in a number of public speaking engagements. A gap identified last year was the lack of a staffer to liaise with MSI and other government departments, and this is currently being remedied by a joint appointment with MSI.
