  • Rawiri Taonui: Partnership Gives Reason for Hope
    Rawiri Taonui: Partnership gives reason for hope John Key (pictured here at Waitangi) enjoys an approval rating among Maori of 47 per cent. Photo / Brett Phibbs In recent weeks the descendants of the Maori prophet Wiremu Tahupotiki Ratana gave their blessing to the one-year-old National-Maori Party partnership. Prime Minister John Key's no-baggage, no-nonsense, straight-talking "let's work together" style is a race relations revelation. He knows what matters and what doesn't (flying two flags is not a drama), and where the boundaries lie - "let the Maori Party deal with Hone Harawira, he is their member". The twin pillars of the Maori Party leadership, Tariana Turia and Pita Sharples, have also been important. Dignified, thoughtful and strong, they are the best Maori political leaders since Princess Te Puea and Apirana Ngata. This triumvirate knows that working together is about trust, keeping things simple and the freedom to disagree. The win over Labour at Ratana belies deeper waters ahead. Waitangi Day looms large with several in Ngapuhi set to fly the St George Cross of the Confederation ensign instead of the newly chosen Rangatiratanga flag. There is room for embarrassment as the debate plays out on Hone Heke Harawira's home turf. Budget 2010 signals the roll out of the whanau ora, with some estimating up to $1 billion in resources devolved to Maori social service providers. Modelled on successful initiatives in health - where the increase of Maori providers from 0 to 275 in 25 years has had real impact - they understand issues better, know the communities, and don't suffer the ingrained prejudices built up over multiple generations in mainstream institutions.

  • Hon Hekia Parata Hon John Banks
    Hon Hekia Parata Minister of Education Hon John Banks Associate Minister of Education Media Statement Charter School Implementation Group Members Announced Education Minister, Hekia Parata, and Associate Education Minister, John Banks, are glad to announce the appointments for the New Zealand Model of Charter School Development and Implementation Group. “Our focus is unrelentingly on raising achievement, in particular for those groups of students who have historically been under-served by the system,’’ says Ms Parata. “We already have a number of different types of schools operating in New Zealand, such as kura, religious schools, single-sex schools, private schools and co-ed schools. Charter schools are just another option, giving parents and students more freedom to choose the type of education that best suits their learning needs. “The Group will consult with a wide range of people, including the teaching profession, unions, parents, businesses, communities and educational experts from around New Zealand and around the world, to determine what charter school model will work best for New Zealand. I look forward to their findings.’’ The New Zealand Model of Charter School Development and Implementation Group will be led by Wellington businesswoman Catherine Isaac. Ms Isaac has served on a number of Boards including school Boards of Trustees, and was a member of the Welfare Working Group in the previous parliamentary term. Also appointed are former Christchurch Mayor and founder of Discovery 1 and Unlimited Paenga Tawhiti, Vicki Buck, CEO of Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu - The Correspondence School, Michael Hollings, and Dr Margaret Southwick of Whitireia Community Polytechnic. Founder of Onehunga Business School & Just Water International CEO, Anthony Falkenstein, University of Auckland Director of Alumni Relations and Development, John Taylor, and the Dean of Te Puna Wānaka and the Director of Māori and Pasifika Studies at the Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology, Hana O’Regan complete the Group.

  • Identification of Outstanding Natural Features and Landscapes Otamataha - Misson Cemetery
    part three Identification of Outstanding Natural Features and Landscapes Otamataha - Misson Cemetery Description: Located on the edge of central Tauranga, Otamataha comprises the remnant headland known as Te Papa. Prior to the reclamation of Sulphur Point and Chapel Street, Otamataha formed the headland to this part of Tauranga. Historically a Pa for Ngati Maru, the site became the Mission Cemetery and contains the earliest Pakeha graves in Tauranga. The site holds significant historical values to the City and has been recognised as such in the recently adopted Historic Reserves Management Plan (December 2008). The landscape surrounding and within the landscape feature has been significantly altered through infrastructure and transit based development. The Tauranga bridge and associated roading connections extend around the periphery of the site, resulting in the loss of natural features and landform. To the south of the site the new Sebel Hotel complex sits immediately adjacent to the site, and screens much of the site’s edge from view from the CBD area. Significant landscape features of the site comprise the remnant pohutukawa along the seaward edge and a significant stand of exotic specimen trees. The raised cliff edge and vegetation cover extends above the water’s edge and the Sebel Hotel, creating visual connection between the site and central Tauranga. Core Values: • Moderate natural science values associated with the remaining geomorphological values. • Moderate representative values due to the location and vegetation patterns. • Moderate shared and recognised values at a City level. • High historical values due to its sigificant archaeological features and heritage values. • Moderate aesthetic values associated with vegetation patterns along the harbour edge.
