  • Timor-Leste's Growing Engagement with the Pacific Islands Region
    110 Regionalism, Security & Cooperation in Oceania Chapter 8 Acting West, Looking East: Timor-Leste’s Growing Engagement with the Pacific Islands Region Jose Kai Lekke Sousa-Santos Executive Summary • Timor-Leste is situated geopolitically and culturally at the crossroads of Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands region, and has pursued a two-pil- lared neighborhood foreign policy of “comprehensive and collective en- gagement,” which is defined by “Acting West” and “Looking East.” • Timor-Leste is seeking to integrate itself within regional governance and security structures, and institutions of both Southeast Asia and the Pa- cific Islands, thereby increasing its strategic role as a conduit for cooper- ation and collaboration between the two regions. • Timor-Leste is of increasing geostrategic importance to the Asia Pacific in view of the growing focus on the Pacific Ocean in terms of resource security and the growing competition between China and the United States. • Timor-Leste could play an increasingly significant role in regional de- fense diplomacy developments if the Melanesian Spearhead Group re- gional peacekeeping force is realized. Timor-Leste’s Engagement with the Pacific Islands Region - Santos 111 “We may be a small nation, but we are part of our inter- connected region. Our nation shares an island with Indone- sia. We are part of the fabric of Southeast Asia. And we are on the cross road of Asia and the Pacific.” 1 - Xanana Kay Rala Gusmao Introduction Timor-Leste is situated geopolitically and culturally on the crossroads of Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands region and has, since achieving in- dependence in 2002, pursued a two-pillared neighborhood foreign policy of ‘Acting West’ and ‘Looking East.’ Timor-Leste claims that its geographic position secures the “half-island” state as an integral and categorical part of Southeast Asia while at the same time, acknowledging the clear links it shares with its Pacific Island neighbors to the west, particularly in the areas of development and security.

  • A RETROSPECTIVE on the WOODHOUSE REPORT: the VISION, the PERFORMANCE and the FUTURE Rt Hon Sir Geoffrey Palmer QC*
    401 A RETROSPECTIVE ON THE WOODHOUSE REPORT: THE VISION, THE PERFORMANCE AND THE FUTURE Rt Hon Sir Geoffrey Palmer QC* The following is a revised version of the second Woodhouse Memorial Lecture given at both the Victoria University of Wellington and the University of Auckland in September 2018. It traces the history and policy iterations of New Zealand's accident compensation scheme that flowed from the 1967 Woodhouse Report (the Report), a Royal Commission report chaired by Sir Owen Woodhouse. It discusses the features of the Report and the determination it showed to get rid of the common law action for damages for personal injury. It analyses the degree to which the Report was not followed in the journey it took through the political decision-making system. There is a critical analysis of the delivery of benefits, the administration of the scheme and its financing. The performance in accident prevention and rehabilitation is briefly covered. The method of settling disputes in the scheme has seen an unwelcome return to legalism. The lecture concludes with a strong plea to remove the anomalies created by the accident compensation scheme between the vicitims of accident who receive earnings related-benefit and those who are dealt with under the Social Security Act 2018 under which they receive flat rate benefits. The lecture concludes with some lessons for policymakers. I INTRODUCTION This lecture is part of a Festschrift for Professor Gordon Anderson who has given sterling service to the Victoria University of Wellington. He has specialised in employment law and the regulation of labour and work.

  • Fijian Colonial Experience: a Study of the Neotraditional Order Under British Colonial Rule Prior to World War II, by Timothy J
    Chapter 4 The new of The more able Fij ian chiefs did not need to fetch up the glory of their ancestors to maintain leadership of their people: they exploited a variety of opportunities open to them within the Fij ian Administration. Ultimately colonial rule itself rested on the loyalty chosen chiefs could still command from their people, and day-to-day village governance, it has been seen, totally depended on them. Far from degenerating into a decadent elite, these chiefs devised a mode of leadership that was neither traditional, for it needed appointment from the Crown, nor purely administrative. Its material rewards came from salary and fringe benefits; its larger satisfactions from the extent to which the peopl e rallied to their leadership and voluntarily participated in the great celebrations of Fijian life , the traditional-type festivals of dance, food and ceremony that proclaimed to all: the people and the chief and the land are one . 'Government-work' had its place, but for chiefs and people there were always 'higher' preoccupations growing out of the refined cultural legacy of the past (albeit the attenuated past) which gave them all that was still distinctively Fij ian in their threatened way of life. This chapter will illuminate the ambiguous mix of constraint and opportunity for chiefly leadership in the colonial context as exercised prior to World War II by some powerful personalities from different status levels in the neotraditional order. Thurston's enthusiastic tax gatherer, Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi , was perhaps the most able of them , and in his happier days was generally esteemed as one of the finest of 'the old school' of chiefs .

  • Grantees Booklet 2010 Inside.Indd
    2010 Fulbright New Zealand Grantees Booklet The Fulbright Programme The Fulbright programme of international educational exchange was an initiative of American Senator J. William Fulbright from Arkansas, who in the aftermath of World War II believed that mutual understanding between different countries and cultures was crucial to ensure a peaceful future for the world. The Fulbright Act, an ingenious piece of legislation passed by the United States Congress in 1946, directed proceeds from the sale of surplus war property, foreign loan repayments and reparations to fund the “promotion of international good will through the exchange of students in the fields of education, culture, and science.” In Senator Fulbright’s own words, the Fulbright programme aims “to bring a little more knowledge, a little more reason and a little more compassion into world affairs and thereby to increase the chance that nations will learn at last to live in peace and friendship.” New Zealand was the fifth country to sign up to the Fulbright programme by bilateral treaty with the United States of America, in 1948. Since then Fulbright New Zealand has sent more than 1,400 New Zealand graduate students, artists, academics and professionals to the US and welcomed more than 1,100 Americans on exchanges here. Fulbright New Zealand is jointly funded by the US and New Zealand governments with additional funding from award sponsors, private philanthropists and alumni donors. It is governed by a twelve member Board of Directors comprised of six New Zealanders and six Americans. The Fulbright programme has been described as one of the largest and most significant movements of scholars across the face of the earth and now operates in over 155 countries, funding around 8,000 exchanges per year for participants to study, research, teach or present their work in another country.

  • Original Research Article
    1 Original Research Article 2 3 Effects of Different Types of Organic Fertilizers on Growth Performance of 4 Amaranthus caudatus (Samaru Local Variety) and Amaranthus cruentus 5 (NH84/452) 6 7 8 9 10 ABSTRACT 11 To evaluate the effect of different types of organic fertilizers on growth performance of Amaranthus 12 caudatus (Samaru local variety) and Amaranthus cruentus (NH84/452). A randomized complete block 13 design (RCBD) was used for the experiment. The field experiment was carried out in the nursery of a 14 homestead garden at No 20, Isaiah Balat Street, Sabo GRA, Kaduna State, Nigeria. The study consists of 15 seven treatments which includes control (no fertilizer), 5 tons/ha and 10 tons/ha poultry manure, 5 tons/ha 16 and 10 tons/ha sewage sludge, 35kg/ha and 70kg/ha NPK compound fertilizer and also with Amaranthus 17 caudatus (Samaru local variety) and Amaranthus cruentus (NH84/452) in factorial arrangement fitted into 18 a randomized complete block design (RCBD) and replicated three times. Growth performance data were 19 collected on plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area and leaf area index from 2 20 weeks after transplanting (WAT) to 6 weeks after transplanting (WAT). The plant height and number of 21 leaves of the two varieties were found in the range of 18.30-135.67cm and 13.33-78.33cm respectively. 22 Leaf area and leaf area index of the two varieties had values in the range of 41.71-258.29cm 2 and 1.76- 23 41.72 respectively. At 6WAT, 10tons/ha poultry manure recorded the highest value for all the growth 24 parameters for both varieties except for leaf length, leaf width and leaf area of Amaranthus caudatus 25 (Samaru local variety) , where 10 tons/ha sewage sludge and 70kg/ha NPK compound fertilizer were 26 highest.

  • Summer Event Flyer
    100 Years of the Peace Palace: Prospects for the International Adjudication and Arbitration A presentation by His Excellency Judge Sir Kenneth Keith Date: Tuesday, 27 August 2013 Time: 5.30-6.30pm Venue: Lecture Theatre Two, Rutherford House Victoria University Pipitea Campus (23 Lambton Quay, Wellington) Invitation Entry to Rutherford House is via Bunny Street or Lambton Quay. See grid c/d-10 on the Pipitea campus map. RSVP not required. In this address Judge Sir Kenneth Keith, one of the 15 members of the International Court of Justice which since 1946 has sat in the Great Hall of Justice in the Peace Palace will attempt to draw lessons for the future. He will consider the experience of that Court, its predecessor, the Permanent Court of International Justice (1922-1946), the Permanent Court of Arbitration (1899- ) for which the building was constructed, and the many other Courts and Tribunals which have been established over the last century and earlier, but especially in recent decades. What are their strengths and limits? What improvements might be considered? Should greater attention be given to other methods for the peaceful settlement of international disputes? How are these matters to be seen in the context of the dreadful events which followed only a year after the opening of the Palace dedicated to Peace through Law? Sir Kenneth Keith is the first New Zealander to be elected as a Judge of the International court of Justice. He was elected by the UN General Assembly and Security Council in 2005 to serve a nine-year term. He served earlier as a judge of the New Zealand Court of Appeal and Supreme Court (1996-2006) and a judge of appeal in Samoa, the Cook Islands, Niue and Fiji; a member of arbitration tribunals; a law commissioner in New Zealand; Professor and Dean of Law at Victoria University of Wellington (now Professor Emeritus); and a member of the legal offices of the United Nations and MFAT.

Elections in Australia Australia must hold national elections by November 30 at the latest. What the outcome will be remains unclear. Over the last year, public support for the Labor government of Prime Minister Julia Gillard has waxed and waned. The government’s unpopular carbon tax, its failure to achieve a promised budget surplus, and accusations that Speaker of the House Peter Slipper harassed a staffer are just the most prominent recent difficulties to tarnish the government’s popularity. Nevertheless, polls show that opposition leader Tony Abbott remains significantly less popular than Gillard. This is surprising considering that Gillard entered office deeply unpopular after ousting her predecessor, Kevin Rudd. But the public has warmed toGillard over the course of her administration and seems now to find her more likeable than the conservative and sometimes clumsy Abbott. No matter how the elections turn out, Australia’s foreign and defense policy will likely remain stable.

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND, FRIDAY 25 AUGUST 2006 LAW REFORM AND THE TRANS TASMAN LOG JAM The Hon Justice Michael Kirby AC CMG* AN ENORMOUS PRESUMPTION Law is full of presumptions. Some of them are innocent enough, although often they involve quite fantastic notions to which judges and lawyers solemnly give effect. One such presumption paid us a visit in the High Court of Australia recently. It happened in Neilson v Overseas Projects Corporation of Victoria Ltd1. The case involved a person from Western Australia, married to an employee of a corporation formed in Victoria, injured in a university facility in China. We all solemnly sat there * Justice of the High Court of Australia (1996-) and one-time Chairman of the Australian Law Reform Commission (1975-84). 1 (2005) 223 CLR 331. 2. struggling with the suggestion that inherited English law required us to presume that the applicable law of China was the same as the applicable law of Australia - whatever that might be. Justice McHugh and I dissented, not being willing to presume so much2. However, the majority were untroubled. They found no offence to reason in the notion that the good people of Wuhan (although undoubtedly oblivious to the fact) were living under the blessings of the same law as Australia, indeed of a particular Australian State, yet to be ascertained. I do not much like presumptions. It is a distaste that I have inherited from Justice Lionel Murphy3.
