Lois Livingston died in Novem- ber not long after being re-elected for a new term to the Hamilton seat on the Waikato Regional Council. A by-election will be held and Lois’ daughter, Adrienne Livingston, is contesting the vacant seat to carry on her mother’s work. ‘‘My mother was a strong woman,’’ said Adrienne. The ecologist from Hamilton said her mother knew how split the regional council was when it came to making decisions about the future of the Waikato River. She decided if she wanted to make a difference, she had to be in the right position to be heard. ‘‘You can’t just sit on your ivory towers, you can’t just write reports to shelve, you need to get Te Rapa Primary School participated in the Bluelight PCT Challenge for many years, with great results.

  • The Mixed Member Proportional Representation System and Minority Representation
    The Mixed Member Proportional Representation System and Minority Representation: A Case Study of Women and Māori in New Zealand (1996-2011) by Tracy-Ann Johnson-Myers MSc. Government (University of the West Indies) 2008 B.A. History and Political Science (University of the West Indies) 2006 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Interdisciplinary Studies In the Graduate Academic Unit of the School of Graduate Studies Supervisor: Joanna Everitt, PhD, Dept. of History and Politics Examining Board: Emery Hyslop-Margison, PhD, Faculty of Education, Chair Paul Howe, PhD, Dept. of Political Science Lee Chalmers, PhD, Dept. of Sociology External Examiner: Karen Bird, PhD, Dept. of Political Science McMaster University This dissertation is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK April, 2013 © Tracy-Ann Johnson-Myers, 2013 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the relationship between women and Māori descriptive and substantive representation in New Zealand’s House of Representatives as a result of the Mixed Member Proportional electoral system. The Mixed Member Proportional electoral system was adopted in New Zealand in 1996 to change the homogenous nature of the New Zealand legislative assembly. As a proportional representation system, MMP ensures that voters’ preferences are proportionally reflected in the party composition of Parliament. Since 1996, women and Māori (and other minority and underrepresented groups) have been experiencing significant increases in their numbers in parliament. Despite these increases, there remains the question of whether or not representatives who ‘stand for’ these two groups due to shared characteristics will subsequently ‘act for’ them through their political behaviour and attitudes.
