At the heart of this groundbreaking book are personal stories from women who have had abortions. Their experiences – which encompass suffering and resilience, isolation and community – are deeply moving, and vividly convey forty years of change. These stories are supplemented with others from the police, doctors, and some of the pro-choice activists and advocates who worked to bring about much-needed change.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eIn the 40s deaths from septic abortions were an ever-present fear. In the conservative 50s deaths from sepsis were less common but there was a network of clandestine abortionists in every community. The 60s brought the contraceptive pill, feminism, and towards the end of the decade, safer abortions in Australia. The 70s saw abortion catapulted into the public domain, with protest and debate culminating in significant law reform in 1977, after which the medical profession finally took responsibility for the introduction of safe abortion services. Since 1978 women seeking abortion may still have had personal difficulties, but the legal situation has been indubitably better for patients, doctors and police.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eAfter more than 30 years it is time to review the present system and the need for legislative change.

Many changes introduced in 1986 impacted positively on the experience of complainants in cases of sexual offending. Others have been less successful in their implementation. Although academics, lawyers, judges and community workers continued to express concern about the low reporting and conviction rates in sexual cases, it was not until a high profile case in 2006 that the public became engaged and two successive governments were compelled to act.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\"\u003eIn the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand in the mid-1980s a number of young women claimed they were gang-raped by three police officers. Although complaints were made at the time, no action was taken until a journalist highlighted the issue in 2004. In March 2006, the three men were acquitted of raping one of the women.

In the 1980s New Zealand achieved a step change in public sector reform when it introduced a distinctive and widely applauded model of public management. Despite attempts at continuing improvement, however, New Zealand has struggled over the past decade to keep developing the frameworks and tools that public managers require to manage efficiently and effectively in the public sector. New Zealanders are becoming more diverse in their needs, ethnicities, and lifestyles, and more demanding in their expectations, and the weight of these expectations increasingly impacts on government. In the face of these changing circumstances, it is tempting to stick with the current model and continue to refine and adjust it. But tweaking is no longer enough ? another step change is required. \u003cbr\u003e In 2009 the chief executives of several public sector organisations commissioned a group of researchers associated with the School of Government at Victoria University of Wellington to undertake a project looking at the ‘future state’ ? to consider present trends that would impact on public management in coming years. \u003cem\u003eFuture State\u003c\/em\u003e pulls together the results of that work, covering emerging trends in governance, from both New Zealand and international perspectives; issues, options and policy implications of shared accountability; experimentation and learning in policy implementation; agency restructuring; skills and capability; the authorising environment; and e-government.

That confident expectation carried him through the first half of the thirties, but the growing political unrest in Europe severely dampened his enthusiasm (“It'’s a hell of a world we live in”), made him more and more conscious of his separation from whatever ‘home’ had come to mean, and strengthened his desire to see again his parents, his wife, and the son he scarcely knew.

With the contract'’s genesis in the migration of wage earners from Britain in the 1840s, New Zealand became an experimental laboratory, first promoting settlement of the land, then safeguarding the economic position of the male breadwinner, and with the emergence of the welfare state in the early twentieth century, protecting the standard of living of families.

Is there anything, then, that is characteristically ‘New Zealand’ about it? To what extent does it derive from local experience, or address a local audience? Focusing on a series of overlapping topics (race, sport, money, history, Englishness, future fictions, utopias and dystopias, religion and the ‘Maori Gothic’), the contributors to this volume suggest that ‘New Zealandness’ is a subtle, at times almost invisible, but nevertheless pervasive concern in New Zealand young adult fiction. Authors discussed include Bernard Beckett, Kate De Goldi, Tessa Duder, Maurice Gee, Patricia Grace, Karen Healey, Witi Ihimaera, Elizabeth Knox, Jack Lasenby, and Margaret Mahy. This book, the first of its kind, is certain to stimulate discussion of an important, ever-expanding, but little studied aspect of New Zealand literary culture.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The five authors are all members of the English Programme at Victoria University of Wellington, where they co-teach undergraduate and Honours courses on children's literature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnna Jackson also teaches courses on poetry, contemporary fiction and American literature.  Publications include \u003cem\u003eJuvenile Literature and British Society 1850–1950: The Age of\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eAdolescence\u003c\/em\u003e (co-authored with Charles Ferrall), and journal articles on YA authors including Elizabeth Knox and Margaret Mahy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGeoffrey Miles also teaches Shakespeare and the classical tradition, and is co-author (with John Davidson and Paul Millar) of \u003cem\u003eThe Snake-Haired Muse: James K.

Because of the type of frustrations experienced by interviewees and as a result of change in political leadership, thinking about what constitutes effective control systems is currently subject to a pendulum swing away from the model of business and market efficiency that was dominant in the 1980s and 1990s. The challenge ahead for the creation of a new model of control is to avoid an extreme swing of the pendulum, and achieve a balance between control and empowerment that reflects the distinctiveness of public management tasks.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In contrast to the cautious, evolutionary approach to the official development of public management in New Zealand (e.g. central agencies, Review of the Centre), this book brings powerful, disconcerting and surely definitive messages about fundamental flaws in enacted public management in New Zealand, which the author has revealed through the views of a sample of public managements.

I observed and interviewed both traditional healers and western trained health professionals in Western Samoa. Now, based on my experiences both in New Zealand and in Western Samoa, I present some of my insights – gained from observation, interview, group discussions and reflection – as they relate to the New Zealand scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'This book should be read as an introduction to cross-cultural communication and health as well as to Samoan and to other non-western health practices. Enough information is provided so that western health professionals can have a sensible conversation with their Samoan patients, and vice versa. Some health professionals will, I hope, stop to reflect on the existence of cultural differences in talking health and in doing sickness. Where a western health professional reads this book and reflects on the nature of medical practice and the usage\/provision of health care and begins to talk about western ways of doing sickness as only one possible way, a breakthrough will have occurred. This would amount to the recognition that what it means to be sick is culturally defined, that medical treatment and health services are cultural practices and culturally specific forms.' —Patricia J.
