First run in 2006, the popular event raises money to support Gisborne individuals diagnosed with breast cancer. As well as racing and the chance to bet, there will be food and drink, an auction and prizes donated by local businesses. Fancy dress is encouraged. In past years, the day has attracted over 1000 people and raised over $50,000. “Every person diagnosed with breast cancer in the region gets one of our packs full of information, vouchers and books worth about $900,” said co-organiser Derry Stovell. In Tairawhiti, there is on average between 40 and 50 new breast cancer diagnoses each year, meaning the group has to raise around $50,000 to cover the cost of the gift packs. Registered nurse Anne Quinn, who works in the Gisborne Hospital medical day unit treating those with breast cancer, sees how important these packages are. They give people a chance to feel a little pampered during such a trying time, she says. “I know that a lot of our breast cancer patients really love that because it’s quite special. “Like anyone with cancer, they’re going TEAM TERRIER RACING: Showgrounds Park is going to the dogs on Sunday for the ever-popular Terriers Race Against through a very traumatic time.” Time breast cancer fundraiser.

I love you both to the ends of the earth and am eternally grateful for your tolerance of this project. ii Acknowledgments To my family – Lindsey, you made the greatest sacrifices that allowed this project to come to fruition. You moved away from your family to Michigan. You allowed me to conduct two months of fieldwork when you were pregnant with our daughter. You helped drafts come together and were a constant sounding board and confidant throughout the long process of writing. This would not have been possible without you. Sophia, Poe, and Jo served as motivation for this project and a distraction from it when each was necessary. Mom, Dad, Chad, Max, Julian, and Olivia, as well as Papa Ernie and Grandma Audrey all, helped build the road that I was able to safely walk down in the pursuit of this doctorate. You served as role models, supports, and friends that I could lean on as I grew into my career and adulthood. Lisa, Tony, and Jessica Suarez stepped up to aid Lindsey and me with childcare amid a move, a career transition, and a pandemic.

Much like the UN, the ICC brings representatives from all cricket-playing countries together to make administrative decisions about the future of cricket. Unlike the UN, however, not all countries have an equal input; the ICC decides which members are worthy of “Test” status (Full Members), and which are not (Associate Members). While the Council has experienced many successes, including hosting the prestigious World Cup and promoting cricket at a grassroots level, it also continues to receive its fair share of criticism, predominantly regarding the ICC’s perceived obstruction of the growth of the game within non- traditionally cricketing nations and prioritizing the commercialization of the sport over globalizing it.

    New Zealand Report Oliver Hellmann, Jennifer Curtin, Aurel Croissant (Coordinator) Sustainable Governance Indicators 2020 © vege - stock.adobe.com Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators SGI 2020 | 2 New Zealand Report Executive Summary New Zealand’s year was overshadowed by the right-wing terrorist attack on a mosque in Christchurch in March of 2019, which killed 51 people. However, it would be wrong to interpret this horrific incident as a failure of governance failure. Instead, the decisive and swift political response in the aftermath of the attack demonstrates that New Zealand’s political system is equipped with high levels of institutional capacity. Within weeks of the politically motivated mass shooting, the government passed tighter guns laws, rolled out a gun buy-back scheme, and established a specialist unit tasked with investigating extremist online content. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was also widely praised for her sensitivity and compassion in the wake of the Christchurch massacre. Generally speaking, policymaking is facilitated by New Zealand’s Westminster-style democracy, which concentrates political power in the executive and features very few veto players. Even though the mixed-member electoral system – which replaced the old first-past-the-post system in 1996 – produces a moderately polarized party system and typically fails to deliver absolute parliamentary majorities, this does not impede cross-party agreements in policymaking. However, while New Zealand’s political system is commonly regarded as one of the highest-quality democracies in the world, the country struggles with issues of media pluralism. The media market is dominated by (mostly foreign-owned) commercial conglomerates, which place greater emphasis on entertainment than on critical news-gathering.
