Dog, can you come to the pad? My Mrs is dead. Duff, a patched Mongrel Mob member, is accused of beating his partner of eight years, Bronwyn Aroha Whakaneke, 33, with a metal scaffolding pipe before dumping her outside a bus at the mob headquarters in Waitangirua. The text message, allegedly sent by murder accused Quentin Duff to a Mongrel Mob associate soon after Duff's partner's death, was among several revealed in Porirua District Court yesterday. Duff, who has yet to enter a plea, appeared expressionless in court yesterday for a depositions hearing. Her naked and battered body was found on January 8.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. “Desirable Models of Behaviour”: Learning to Teach as a Rite of Passage. An Historical Study of Initial Teacher Education in New Zealand. A dissertation presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Teresa Ball 2009 Abstract This thesis critically examines the historical construction of initial teacher education at the turn of the 20th century. It focuses particularly on the extent of state involvement in the process of learning to teach, arguing that this process fulfils the necessary conditions of a rite of passage. The investigation utilises a different theoretical and methodological approach which combines the post-structuralist analyses of Michel Foucault with the cultural- anthropological work of Arnold van Gennep. Together, they provide a framework which enables an archaeological examination of teacher training at the macro-level of the state and its institutions, whilst providing a complementary, genealogical analysis of student teachers at the micro-level of their everyday lives. The investigation found that, in order to transform colonial society into an enlightened rural democracy, the state needed to transform its teachers. It did this through ensuring neophyte teachers passed through a carefully orchestrated rite of passage within a highly centralised and regulated system of training colleges. This necessitated a shift away from the devolved, differentiated pupil-teacher training system.

    The Contested Terrain of Alcohol Sponsorship of Sport and Social Policy in New Zealand Kieran Craig Cody A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Physical Education (MPhEd) At the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand School of Physical Education Te Kura Mahi-a-korikori Division of Sciences Te Rohi a Ahikaroa University of Otago Te Whare Wananga o Otago ` PO BOX 56, DUNEDIN NEW ZEALAND Abstract This thesis investigates the effects, consequences and contested terrain emerging from alcohol sponsorship of sport in New Zealand. Drawing from the 2010 New Zealand Law Commission report addressing the alcohol issue in New Zealand, this research examined the sport sponsorship debate in relation to one specific recommendation calling for a ban on alcohol sponsorship of sport as part of a three stage process; (1) implementation of regulations based on Loi Evin in France, where sport sponsorship and advertising is banned from sporting arenas and visual mediums; (2) prohibition on alcohol advertising where 10% of participants are under the legal drinking age, including sporting arenas and (3) the eventual complete removal of alcohol sponsorship of sport. Located within a cultural studies framework and employing a qualitative, multi- method approach including document analysis and interviews with key stakeholders, the results highlight the contested terrain of varying interests within particular sectors of New Zealand. Three key findings emerged: (1) alcohol companies have a long history of sponsoring sport and became more powerful following the banning of tobacco sponsorship of sport; (2) the issue of alcohol sponsorship of sport is a contested terrain where particular interest groups (e.g.
