I’m just back from the annual Biometrics Institute’s Asia-Pacific Conference in Sydney, where the issue of privacy took centre stage. The ever-present yet evolving need to achieve an acceptable balance between security and privacy is a challenge across the industry, from biometrics to surveillance to cyber security. Whether or not there are the right legislative safeguards in place to manage this tug ‘o’ war, fundamental to maintaining public confidence is the idea of trust. Do people have trust in how government – or any organisation – will use their personal information and keep it safe? The Institute’s development of a ‘privacy trust mark’, which we cover in this issue, is a strong example of how industry is working to get on top of this. A story that will no doubt be read with interest by many within the industry is the piece on the NZSA training division’s NZQA External Evaluation and Review (EER) result. The training arm of the Association received a “not yet confident” rating in relation to educational performance, and this has understandably raised some question marks. To be sure, it’s a sub-standard result for an organisation that promotes itself as a standards setter in the industry, but the review took place back in 2014, and the key question now is what’s the current state of play. We pose this question – and more – to NZSA CEO Gary Morrison. Nick’s professional background is in Ultimately, there are much bigger questions facing the guarding sector government and the military.

  • Talking About 1080: Risk, Trust and Protecting Our
    Talking about 1080: risk, trust and protecting our place Susan R Bidwell A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Public Health Department of Public Health and General Practice University of Otago Christchurch December 2011 Abstract The use of 1080 for pest control by the Department of Conservation (DoC) and the Animal Health Board (AHB) is officially considered the only viable means of preventing environmental damage from possums and protecting farming from the spread of bovine tuberculosis in the West Coast region. Although 1080 has been used for decades in New Zealand, opposition to its use has intensified in recent years, particularly to aerial 1080. The public discourse revolves around the magnitude and likelihood of risks to the environment and human health, within a wider societal climate where the importance of avoiding such risks is taken for granted. Public health staff in the region spend significant time investigating complaints about misapplied 1080 baits and discussing health concerns. To date, however, there has been little formal investigation of community attitudes and reasons for the opposition to 1080. This study sought to discover how different sectors of the community perceived 1080, and how they explained why they held those views. In-depth interviews were held with twelve key informants recruited from organisations and groups that were already publicly identified as supporting or opposing 1080. Data from the interviews were analysed thematically within a framework of contemporary socio-cultural risk theory. The analysis showed that opinions on risk were nuanced and individualised, ranging from total opposition to total support with many positions in between, rather than being sharply divided into pro- and anti-1080 blocs as is generally assumed.

ELECTIONS ON SATURDAY 20 SEPTEMBER 2014 History political parties in New Zealand Parties elected to the NZ Parliament in 2011 Party, Leader, Seats and Party Principles New Zealand national politics feature a pervasive party system. Usually, all members of Parliament's unicameral House of Representatives belong to a political party. Independent MPs occur relatively rarely. While two primary parties do indeed dominate the political landscape, the country now more closely resembles a multi- party state, where smaller groups can reasonably expect to play a role in government. As of August 2011, eight parties have representatives in Parliament. Political parties in New Zealand evolved towards the end of the nineteenth century out of interest groups and personal cliques. Most historians regard the Liberal Party, which began its rule in 1891, as the first real party in New Zealand politics. During the long period of Liberal Party control the party's more conservative opponents founded the Reform Party, forming the original duopoly in the New Zealand parliament. September 2014 Terra Nova e-News Page !1 of !4 Over the years, a number of "third parties" or so-called "minor parties" developed, notably the Social Credit Party, the New Zealand Party, the Values Party, and the Alliance. However, the "first past the post" electoral system meant that regardless of how many votes a party gained nation-wide, it could not win a seat without a plurality in a particular electorate (voting district).
