Constitution of New Zealand

Introduction This essay will explore the relationship between the Treaty of Waitangi (ToW) and the inequities in type II diabetes between Māori and non-Māori. It is evident that disparities such as quality of care and access to care can be linked to the three breaches in articles under the Māori version of the ToW. To demonstrate the inequities in diabetes the 1852 New Zealand Constitution Act, 1907 The Tohunga Suppression Act, Orewa Speech and an overview of the treaty breaches will be used to create a causal link using the Williams model as a guide. The Nursing Council of New Zealand guide will be used to demonstrate the incorporation of the ToW principles into a framework to address inequities between Māori and non-Māori. PART A Diabetes…

knowledge of history is imperative to make sense of how a government functions today. For starters, the United States is a democracy, while New Zealand is a parliamentary democracy with a constitutional monarchy. The United States practices federalism where the power is divided amongst the central and state governments. New Zealand, on the other hand, is a unitary…

New Zealand and Australia are two different countries on just opposite sides of the Tasman Sea. New Zealand can be characterized as having a moderately small population compared to many developed countries. Australia for example holds over five times the population of New Zealand.

Constitutional conventions and statutes are central to the New Zealand (NZ) legal system and both play an imperative role.

power governments to help slow the decrease in food availability and how their decisions can affect the lives of all Islanders. Barnett (2007) discusses the role of governments and criticize their handling of the South Pacific economy, which has seen a recent influx of cheap and non-nutritious food. United Nations for Women (2014) focuses on the impact of climate change on women, the role they have in sustainable food production and ways to reduce gender inequality. Other sources focus on the…

majority of us will have to attend some form of school (outside of the home). Our lives begin to revolve around this and we have to balance this education with our extracurricular activities, homework, and social lives which ends up leaving life complicated. Having a good education, College or University level, leads to complex yet rewarding jobs. In return, these complex jobs create a stressful and busy, or complicated life, but on the plus side these jobs provide a large income that can be…

Māori culture has remained a huge part throughout my upbringing. I have been able to recognise the importance which has been encouraged throughout my studies, more now than ever. The role I will play as a treaty partner approaches the importance of having familiarity of New Zealand history alongside skills (Lang, 2002) essential to have an effective outcome in my practice as an Early Childhood Educator. To achieve a positive outcome in my practice I will educate myself with the significant…

Amongst the organisations advocating for women’s enfranchisement, another with prominence was the Dunedin Tailoresses Union [DTU] formed in 1889. The depressed economic situation in New Zealand during the 1880s led to “sweated labour.” Men and women alike worked for long hours and low wages in overcrowded conditions. Factory worker Miss M recalls “I made 12s 6d one week, but that meant working till three o’clock some mornings… and on Sunday, too” (Paul, 1910, as cited in Dalley & Robertson,…
