  • BISHOP BARRY JONES Barry Philip Jones Has Been the Catholic Bishop of Christchurch for Over Nine Years. He Will Be Rememb
    BISHOP BARRY JONES Barry Philip Jones has been the Catholic Bishop of Christchurch for over nine years. He will be remembered by us as a man of integrity, who filled the episcopal office with honour, who in demanding times gave sound leadership to the Catholic community, who was a respected representative of the Catholic Church in Canterbury and Westland and who has left a worthy heritage of faith, of priestly zeal and of Christian life. Back in the 3rd century AD, Hippolytus who was a theologian and a bishop wrote about what it means to be a bishop: He said “We are the successors of the apostles to whom it has been given to participate in their self same grace of priesthood and teaching and to be the guardians of the Church.” With Christ, the Lord, the apostles had been the founders of the Church. Aidan Nichols, an English Dominican theologian much appreciated by Bishop Jones once wrote: “The successors of the apostles, the Pope and the bishops do not ‘replace’ the apostles; they ‘ stand in’ for them. They ensure the presence of the apostles in the same ministry received from Christ.” A bishop has a threefold office which is essential for the Catholic Church. He is ordained for the office of sanctifying the faithful through the Mass and the sacraments, he is ordained for the office of teaching, handing on the faith revealed by Christ, he is ordained for the office of governing that part of the Church entrusted to him and with all the bishops under the Pope, he shares responsibility for the whole Church.

  • Inquiry Into Parliament's Legislative Response to Future National Emergencies
    Inquiry into Parliament's legislative response to future national emergencies To the Regulations Review Committee: This submission is from the Equal Justice Project. Contact: Joy Guo Maree Cassaidy [email protected] Members who have worked on this submission include: Keegan Browne, Rachel Hale Liam Johannesson, Anna Stevens Lucy Smith, Bryce Turner, Min Kyu Jung, Francy Sulikosky The Equal Justice Project is an independent student-run pro-bono initiative at the University of Auckland Law School. The objective of EJP is to promote equal access to justice by encouraging, organising and engaging in voluntary legal work in partnership with community groups, practitioners and academics. EJP has submitted on terms of reference 1, 3, 4 and 6 below. I (1) Consider the overarching principles governing the delegation of Parliament’s law-making powers in the context of recovery from a national emergency A Introduction Delegation of Parliament’s law-making powers in the context of recovery from a national emergency involves several competing principles. It is important to uphold and conform to these principles in order to prudentially legislate such power-conferring statutes. B Advantages The delegation of Parliament’s law-making powers has several positive factors that should be considered when assessing its necessity in the context of recovery from a national emergency. In particular, we can look to the powers delegated after the 2011 Christchurch Earthquake for a recent New Zealand example of the implications of such delegation. 1 Speed and Efficiency The primary advantage that comes with delegating Parliament’s law-making powers is speed and efficiency. In theory, speed is critical in emergencies; during the Christchurch earthquakes, there was a need to provide fast and decisive action unhindered by bureaucratic process.

  • Chapter 4 Extract
    EXTRACT FROM DIRTY POLITICS BY NICKY HAGER. PUBLISHED IN 2014 BY CRAIG POTTON PUBLISHING. CHAPTER 4 THE CRUSHER AND THE ATTACK DOG The attack bloggers’ point of contact in the National government, year after year, remained John Key’s office. But Cameron Slater had another close friend and ally in the government, Cabinet minister Judith Collins. They had much in common. One cultivated the iron woman persona of Crusher Collins, future prime minister, the other the reckless bully-boy persona of Whale Oil, crusading outsider. They were drawn together by right-wing politics and a shared attraction to aggressive and often petty attack politics. Slater was a devoted supporter of Collins, using his blog to promote her and to attack her critics. Collins, in return, fed a continuous supply of material to Slater: public press releases, political gossip, tip-offs and serious leaks. She boast- ed for him in 2013 that ‘you might not like it but Whaleoil is better informed and better read than any other news outlet or social media’.1 They talked often by phone, and in the evenings and weekends they chatted via Facebook. In work hours Collins e-mailed him directly from her sixth-floor Beehive office. Often their exchanges were about small events of the day. The following are typical of Collins’s messages: ‘You should whack these guys hard, they are truly pathetic’;2 ‘Cam, FYI. Another own goal for plughead’, her name for Labour MP Clayton Cosgrove;3 could he edit her Wikipedia page and replace an unflattering photo;4 and, forwarding a document, ‘I think I seri- ously annoyed certain people over it.

There was so much material for the last edition that we decided to do an extra one. For me this is a sign of the dynamism and energy in our diocese and a reflection of all the wonderful things that are going on. It is one of the blessings of being the bishop that I get to see so many of the things that are happening and am able to participate in some of them. At a time when we can be inclined to think that faith is not important to people, we have so many witnessing to and working to support others within and beyond our community. This edition comes out as the Easter season is drawing to wonderful past which our forebears worked so hard for and an end with the celebration of the Ascension of our Lord we are now being asked to look to the future.
