												New Zealand Hansard Precedent Manual
IND 1 NEW ZEALAND HANSARD PRECEDENT MANUAL Precedent Manual: Index 16 July 2004 IND 2 ABOUT THIS MANUAL The Precedent Manual shows how procedural events in the House appear in the Hansard report. It does not include events in Committee of the whole House on bills; they are covered by the Committee Manual. This manual is concerned with structure and layout rather than text - see the Style File for information on that. NB: The ways in which the House chooses to deal with procedural matters are many and varied. The Precedent Manual might not contain an exact illustration of what you are looking for; you might have to scan several examples and take parts from each of them. The wording within examples may not always apply. The contents of each section and, if applicable, its subsections, are included in CONTENTS at the front of the manual. At the front of each section the CONTENTS lists the examples in that section. Most sections also include box(es) containing background information; these boxes are situated at the front of the section and/or at the front of subsections. The examples appear in a column format. The left-hand column is an illustration of how the event should appear in Hansard; the right-hand column contains a description of it, and further explanation if necessary. At the end is an index.

												Digital Inclusion for All a Draft Plan for the Southern Initiative in Auckland
Digital Inclusion for All A Draft Plan for The Southern Initiative in Auckland Summary This paper presents a 5-year $40M plan to equip people living in The Southern Initiative area of Auckland with the skills they need to be work ready and able to participate confidently in our digitally enabled 21st Century society. The plan ensures that no child is left behind, with all 50,000 children in the four Local Board areas having equitable access to digital learning devices, all schools have the infrastructure necessary to support future-focused learning and all parents having the digital skills necessary to support their childrens’ learning. Furthermore, all families will have affordable access to a UFB internet connection using the new fibre infrastructure already well advanced in its rollout. Local tertiary providers and public libraries will share the ongoing training load to ensure the whole community has access to further digital training and support as new applications are introduced and equipment is updated. This will include all people who are unemployed. The new digital skills will ensure that unemployment rates become the lowest in the country. The new Wiri prison will be an exemplar in the use of technology to support ongoing learning by prisoners as well as maintaining regular contact with families. Recidivism will reduce by more than 50% on release as a direct result of new skills developed while in prison. Businesses in The Southern Initiative area will also benefit as all employees are encouraged to participate in basic digital literacy skills training and testing. There will be a measurable increase in productivity for all participating businesses. -
