Government decision making during a crisis: the New Zealand experience during the Covid-19 pandemic
Get PDFA key component of New Zealand’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic was how the government was organised and supported to make decisions in relation to the health, economic, social, foreign policy, legal and other policy issues it faced. The New Zealand system of central government decision making, as set out in the Cabinet Manual and operated by the Cabinet Office, was continually adapted to ensure that the Prime Minister and Ministers, and the officials working to them, were provided with a system that facilitated both rapid and considered decision making and promulgation of those decisions
Developing a Policy Framework with Indicators for a ‘Just Transition’ in Aotearoa New Zealand
Get PDFAs Aotearoa New Zealand responds to climate change, policymakers are being challenged to ensure a ‘just transition’ for workers, households and communities. However, no domestic consensus exists about how to define, measure, monitor or manage a ‘just transition’. Maintaining public support for ambitious domestic decarbonisation will require an integrated policy framework which operationalises principles of justice and safeguards wellbeing. This article examines the concept of a ‘just transition’ for climate change and explores three tools for improving policy: inclusive, informed and iterative processes for decision making; an assessment framework for social resilience to change; and progress indicators
Oceans Reform in Aotearoa New Zealand: a just transition?
Get PDFThe concept of a ‘just transition’ has become strongly linked to climate change and the idea that the process of decarbonising society needs to be done in a way that is fair to all. However, it is equally relevant to other areas in which a transition is needed. This article explores what a just transition might mean for the reform of Aotearoa New Zealand’s oceans management system. It argues that the concepts of justice and fairness are a useful way not only to manage the process of change, but also to frame and justify why change is needed. Different conceptions of justice – distributional equity, environmental justice, intergenerational equity, ecological justice and procedural justice – are all important lenses to look through when asking the hard questions about what the future of our seas should look like
The Ideal and the Real: interior linings in 1930s New Zealand homes
Get PDFThe choices made by New Zealanders in terms of how they line the floors, walls and ceilings of their homes, both today and in the past, is driven by various influencing factors. These include economic factors such as supply and demand, changes in technology, societal norms, as well as the agency of people themselves, ranging from the manufacturer and supplier to the designer and homeowner. In 1930s' New Zealand, architectural and building publications aimed to influence consumer behavior in terms of the products and methods used to design, construct and decorate buildings. These magazines also played a pivotal role in both reflecting and shaping current societal ideals and the associated ideal homes, which are almost always the homes of the middle and upper classes. This paper takes a case study approach by looking at the first eleven issues of the Home & Building magazine between October/November 1936 and November 1939, extracting from these the construct of the ideal home interior and the types of interior linings that were advertised and used for this purpose in the homes that are presented. To investigate the extent to which these trends are reflected in the homes of real New Zealanders, a sample of Wellington building consents and historical interior photographs available through DigitalNZ are used

New Histories: Creating Video Work to Fill Adoption Absences
Get PDFAdopted at birth and brought up Pākehā, I discovered as an adult that I have Ngāi Tahu tūpuna (ancestors). Adoptees seek birth kin and stories to try to fill the gaps and absences that haunt us, so I undertook my roots journey, travelling three times to Riverton/Aparima, where my ancestors had lived, taking my video camera. In this article I describe how initially I did not find the belonging I was looking for, but through my creative practice of filmmaking, and the three short videos I made, I did connect to place, and began making a new history for myself
