Biophysical limits and their policy implications: the nature of the problem
Authors: Reynolds Paul
Published: September 2018

When we talk about increasing resource scarcity there is a common assumption that the earth is running out of resources. So, to halt this rapid decline, we must indeed halt economic growth. On the other hand, there are those who believe that resource depletion can largely be addressed with the use of substitutes or by developing new technologies: so, essentially, future behaviours around resource management can be an extension of the past.
Improving water governance in New Zealand: stakeholder views of catchment management processes and plans
Authors: Fenemor Andrew , Neilan Diarmuid , Allen Will , Russell Shona
Published: September 2018

Water governance refers to the institutions, legislation and decision-making processes applied to develop and manage water resources. As pressures on water resources increase there has been a realisation that technocratically-driven water management has not achieved desired sustainability outcomes. Attention must be focused not only on better scientific understanding of water and its values and uses, but also on what constitutes good water governance.
Pragmatism and caffeine: lessons from cross-agency, cross-sector working
Authors: Cribb Jo , Lane Robbie , Penny Heather , Van Delden Kylie , Irwin Kathie
Published: September 2018

The ways forward for addressing complex policy problems have been well documented and concepts like network leadership, collaboration and citizen engagement espoused. In reality, for those working in cross-agency, cross-sector teams, the way forward is messy, frustrating, and simultaneously exciting. This article shares the practical experience of a cross-agency, cross-sector project team in the hope that thinking is invested not only in the virtues of new ways of working, but in how to operationalise them.
‘Urgent’ legislation in the New Zealand House of Representatives and the bypassing of select committee scrutiny
Authors: McLeay Elizabeth , Geigringer Claudia , Higbee Polly
Published: September 2018

The day after the opening of the new Parliament in December 2008, the National Party minister and Leader of the House, Gerry Brownlee, moved a motion to accord urgency to certain aspects of business. This was passed by 63 votes to 52, with the Māori Party abstaining. It was resolved ‘that urgency be accorded the introduction and passing of Government bills dealing with taxation, employment relations, bail, education and sentencing’, and some other aspects of House business (New Zealand House of Representatives (NZHR), 2008). Although National had insufficient votes to govern on its own (58 in the 122-seat House) it knew that the House would approve the urgency motion because National had the support of three other parties, the Māori Party (five), the ACT party (five) and United Future (one), giving the government a secure majority so long as either ACT or the Māori Party voted for its bills and procedural motions. The above bills were not referred to select committees for public submissions and scrutiny.
Implementing Better Public Services
Authors: Eppel Elizabeth , Wolf Amanda
Published: September 2018

In March 2012 the Prime Minister announced a set of ten goals or result challenges, and named the ministers who are to be held politically responsible for achievement of each of the results and the specific public sector chief executives with management accountability. This ‘to-do list’ (Key, 2012) was accompanied by the release of the report from a group of four senior public officials and three private sector people known as the Better Public Services Advisory Group, which had provided advice to government in late 2011 on how the public sector should be reconfigured to improve the ‘system’s efficiency and effectiveness – in short to do more and better with less’. The report says that it is the ‘starting point for an ongoing programme of reform over the next five years. The objective is better services for New Zealanders, of a type and at a scale that enables our society and economy to flourish’
Creating public value in the policy advice role: a reflection from the front line
Authors: Bromell David
Published: September 2018

As a public servant I live with the tension captured in Richard Mulgan’s question: ‘How much responsiveness is too much or too little?’ (Mulgan, 2008). On the one hand, my job is to be responsive to portfolio ministers and to the prime minister and Cabinet. On the other hand, Westminster conventions of public service imply that I ought not to become over-responsive and merely reactive. The role of a permanent, politically neutral civil service is to be loyal to the government of the day, yet with sufficient independence, knowledge, expertise and experience to influence and shape government priorities and policies, not only to implement these.

Preventing, mitigating or solving child income poverty? The Expert Advisory Group 2012 report
Authors: St John Susan
Published: September 2018

In March 2012 the Expert Advisory Group on Solutions to Child Poverty (EAG) was established by the Children’s Commissioner to make recommendations that, if not fully ‘solving’ child poverty, would realistically reduce and mitigate its effects. The advice was to inform the Ministerial Committee on Poverty, whose focus was specifically on tangible gains ‘getting value for money in a tight economic climate’ (Commissioner for Children, 2012).
Child poverty: the ‘fuel poverty’ dimension
Authors: McChesney Ian
Published: September 2018

"Children … spoke about damp and cold houses affecting their health, and wanted rental properties to be safer and healthier. They noted that more insulation of homes would make heating homes more affordable, as they reported that families are struggling to pay household bills, which leads to no heating, no water, and the inability to cook." (Expert Advisory Group on Solutions to Child Poverty, 2012) Fuel poverty can be broadly described as the inability of a household to afford a sufficient level of energy services in the home. Energy services are the things people need and desire from their use of energy, such as warm and comfortable rooms, hot water, lighting, and cooked food. Having a sufficiency of energy services is widely accepted as indispensable to modern living and peoples’ quality of life, while a state of energy deprivation can have an adverse impact on physical and mental health, well-being and social functioning (Boardman, 1991; Pantazis, Gordon and Townsend, 2006).
Citizens’ assemblies and policy reform in New Zealand
Authors: Hayward Janine
Published: September 2018

In 2011 New Zealand held a referendum on the future of its voting system for general elections. Following the referendum, the current voting system was retained, and the Electoral Commission reviewed the system and made recommendations for change in late 2012. In early 2013 the government’s response to those recommendations is still awaited. Recognising the importance of this process, this article considers an alternative approach to electoral reform, drawing on the experiences of Canada’s and Holland’s use of citizens’ assemblies in the electoral policy-making process. The article considers the merits and limitations of citizens’ assemblies for electoral reform, particularly in the New Zealand context. It proposes the form and function of a citizens’ assembly on electoral reform in New Zealand to complement the reform process. Overseas experience demonstrates that, with some caveats, a citizens’ assembly remains a possibility for electoral reform and other constitutional policy change in New Zealand in the future.
The relationship between trends in income inequalities and poverty in New Zealand
Authors: Carter Kristie , Gunasekara Fiona Imlach , Blakely Tony
Published: September 2018

There has been much discussion recently about poverty, particularly child poverty, and the harmful effects of persistent poverty (Perry, 2012; Expert Advisory Group on Solutions to Child Poverty, 2012a, 2012b; Imlach Gunasekara and Carter, 2012). Children who experience many years of poverty are at higher risk of poor child development, worse health outcomes as children and adults, and lower socio-economic status as adults (Duncan, Ziol-Guest and Kalil, 2010; Evans and Kim, 2007; Malat, Hyun and Hamilton, 2005; Najman et al., 2010; Seguin et al., 2007; Gibb, Fergusson and Horwood 2012; Poulton et al., 2002). This raises special questions around the role of the state in protecting children from harm (and increasing the chances of a healthy and productive future workforce) through child poverty reduction which New Zealand society has not yet resolved. There is also concern about a high level of income inequality (the gap in income between rich and poor) in New Zealand, and reports of executives’ high salaries and generous raises frequently trigger debate. Poverty and income inequality are often assumed to go hand in hand, but this is not always the case.
State highway investment in New Zealand: the decline and fall of economic efficiency
Authors: Pickford Michael
Published: September 2018

A decade ago, the benefit-cost ratio (BCR) – the economic measure of efficiency in investment spending – was the most important criterion used by the predecessors of the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) to determine which land transport projects to fund. However, from 2003 there was a gradual shift away from a reliance on the BCR, and since 2009 it has been only one of three criteria used. In this article I examine how this change has come about, and demonstrate that it has resulted in the funding of a mix of state highway projects that is far from being economically efficient. Average BCRs have dropped so much that the estimated benefit from the allocated funding is far smaller than it would have been had the reliance on the BCR been retained.
The future costs of retirement income policy and ways of addressing them
Authors: Kirkup Nicola
Published: September 2018

New Zealand Superannuation (NZS) is a universal pension paid at a flat rate. It is effective at poverty prevention among the elderly, relatively inexpensive and simple to administer. However, with the proportion of the population aged over 65 years set to increase rapidly over the next 50 years, there is expected to be a steep rise in the costs of the scheme. The future cost of NZS is therefore a major driver of New Zealand’s Longer-term Fiscal Challenge. The Treasury’s statement on New Zealand’s long-term fiscal position (Treasury, 2013a) examines ways of addressing this cost, as well as other possible responses to the broader fiscal challenge such as higher taxation or reductions in other areas of public spending.
Making big decisions for the future
Authors: James Colin
Published: September 2018

The Treasury’s long-term fiscal projections are designed to inform present-day policy. They draw attention to existing trends and potential future global and national developments in society, demography, politics, technology and the economy, and the fiscal implications of continuing existing policy unchanged through those changes over the next 40 years and beyond. They highlight that the later action is taken to offset an anticipated impact, the greater the policy change may have to be and also potentially the cost, not just in money but also in social cohesion if unusual intergenerational tensions develop as a consequence. But if large adjustments have to be made, even if over time, how might that be done in a representative democracy in which the ultimate decisionmakers, the politicians, are subject to frequent elections in which political folklore tells us the determinant issues are proximate and ‘courageous’ leaders are sacrificed to short-term voter self-interest?

Published: September 2018

This study aims to examine the factors that affecting corruption in Indonesia local governments. The sample used in this study consist of 225 Indonesian local governments. This study uses secondary data obtained from the Financial Audit Board (BPK) and Provincial Government’s Financial Report (LKPD) from 2010-2014 period along with composition data that's obtained from the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) in Indonesia. Data analysis were performed using regression analysis. The results of the analysis show that corporate governance proxied with the composition of DPRDs that do not coalesce with the government, compared with the total DPRD has a significant effect on the corruption of local governments in Indonesia. The results of the analysis also show that the Regional Financial Information System (SIKD) has no effect on the corruption of local government. The control variables used in this study include the government's internal control system (weaknesses of accounting and reporting controls, weaknesses of controlling the execution of the budget and the weakness of the internal control structure) and the characteristics of local government (size of local government, asset, and balanced funds).
Effects of Different Ration Scenarios on Fecal-Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Awassi Ewes
Authors: Yurtseven Sabri , Avcı Mehmet , Çetin Mehmet , Öztürk İrfan , Boğa Mustafa
Published: September 2018

This study
investigated the effect of diets with different ratios of C4:C3 plant materials
on CH4, CO2, and N2O emissions from manure
produced by Awassi ewes. The
trial compared the production of greenhouse gases from manures produced by
sheep fed diets with low C4:C3 ratios (Group A–0.95:1) to those fed high C4:C3
plant ratios (Groups B–1:1; C–1.5:1; D–2:1). The trial was a randomized design
with four groups and each group contained four sheep (total 16). The main
feedstuffs were alfalfa and maize based combinations with similar nutrient
contents. The body weight gain (BWG) and the feed conversion ratio (FCR) of the
sheep were affected by C4:C3 ratio. They increased in the higher C4
plant-consuming groups, despite similar feed consumption. Manure components
were not affected by the feed ratio, except for N, pH, and Neutral detergent
fiber (NDF). Total diet digestibility of N increased cubically when maize silage
was included (Groups B and D). The use of C3 plants as forage or grain sources
led to increased manure and manure gas production (P = 0.04 and linear effect:
0.03). Regardless of the C4:C3 ratio, alfalfa increased N2O
emissions from manures because more manure was produced by groups A and C. The temperature, humidity and mold of the manures were
the main causes of the rise in the amount of manure based CO2 in the alfalfa and maize based groups.
Evaluación agrotécnica de implementos manuales para la siembra de maíz
Authors: López Gómez Jesús Antonio , Van Loon Jelle
Published: September 2018

La siembra es una actividad crítica en la producción de maíz y paso crucial para obtener buenos rendimientos. Herramientas manuales tradicionales son en su mayoría fabricadas artesanalmente y el trabajo de siembra manual demanda una alta inversión de labor y tiempo. En varias ocasiones se reportan esfuerzos de más de 50 horas de trabajo para realizar la siembra manual de una hectárea. Modernizar estas herramientas permite a los pequeños productores optimizar sus recursos, realizar sus siembras a tiempo y hacerlas menos fatigosas (Aikins et al., 2010). Con el objetivo de determinar parámetros de desempeño que permitan identificar las herramientas más funcionales para la siembra manual de maíz, se evaluaron seis sembradoras determinando su capacidad efectiva en campo, con valores obtenidos entre 0.020 y 0.055ha/h. Al analizar el tiempo utilizado para sembrar una cama con diferentes operadores se obtuvieron diferencias significativas entre operadores para las sembradoras Boshima, Fitarelli y la pala (p- value = 0.017, 0.037 y 0.028 respectivamente). La emergencia del cultivo caracterizó la funcionalidad de las herramientas alcanzando valores de 71.1% con el espeque y solo 10.5% con la Fitarelli. Aportando a las metodologías de evaluaciones agrotécnicas convencionales, se realizó una ponderación considerando la facilidad de uso, la precisión y la eficiencia en campo. En su totalidad, las herramientas tradicionales presentaron mejores resultados a comparación de herramientas modernas, probablemente debido a su sencillez y baja demanda de mantenimiento. Sin embargo, algunas herramientas modernas se destacan fuertemente en rubros específicos de desempeño.

Published: September 2018

In the article, an attempt of analyzing the spatial organization of travel prose from the perspective of metaphorization and space development ways is presented.

Jaminan konstitusi atas kebebasan beragama adalah instrumen yang sangat penting bagi para misionaris dan lembaga-lembaga tempat mereka bekerja. Dengan itulah mereka beroleh keleluasaan untuk melakukan Kristenisasi di kalangan umat Islam dan orang Koptik. Konversi keagamaan (murtad), bagi mereka, bukanlah sesuatu yang perlu diatur oleh hukum positif, merujuk kepada hak asasi yang dijunjung tinggi.

Keprihatinan Indonesia

Published: September 2018

Banyak sekali paradoks yang ditemukan di Indonesia. UUD 1945 menyatakan bahwa ”Perekonomian disusun sebagai usaha bersama berdasar atas asas kekeluargaan” [pasal 33 Ayat (1)]. Tetapi itu tak terimplementasikan di lapangan. Juga ditegaskan bahwa ”Cabang-cabang produksi yang penting bagi negara dan yang menguasai hajat hidup orang banyak dikuasai oleh negara” [pasal 33 Ayat (2)]. Pelaksanaannya jauh panggang dari api. Begitu pun ”Bumi dan air dan kekayaan alam yang terkandung di dalamnya dikuasai oleh negara dan dipergunakan untuk sebesar-besar kemakmuran rakyat” [pasal 33 Ayat (3)]. Faktanya hegemoni para pemodal sangat terakomodasi memuaskan.

Konstitusi Madinah

Dalam bentuk yang amat sederhana dan umumnya hanya dianggap sebagai garis besar kumpulan peraturan yang semata-mata menyangkut adat-istiadat, dikhabarkan bahwa sekitar tahun 600-an sebelum Masehi di kota Athena pernah ditemukan tak kurang dari 11 yang mirip konstitusi. Aristoteles sendiri disebut berhasil mengoleksi 158 jenis dari beberapa tempat (Negara). Melihat cakupan dan bentuknya, keseluruhannya itu tak sebanding dengan Konstitusi Madinah (KM) yang dibuat Rasulullah SAW pada abat ke 7 Masehi.

Published: September 2018

Natural pedagogy emerges early in development, but good teaching requires tailoring evidence to learners’ knowledge. How does the ability to reason about others’ minds support early pedagogical evidence selection abilities? In three experiments (N = 205), we investigated preschool-aged children’s ability to consider others’ knowledge when selecting evidence in the service of teaching. Results from Experiment 1 revealed that four-year-olds reliably selected evidence to rectify others’ false beliefs, and provided causal explanations in their teaching, whereas three-year-olds did not. In Experiment 2, we tie children’s evidence selection abilities to Theory of Mind (ToM) development, above and beyond effects of age and numerical conservation abilities. In Experiment 3, we employed a 6-week training of children’s pedagogical evidence selection with a new teaching task, and further explored the relationship between these skills and children’s ToM abilities. We qualitatively replicated our results from Experiment 2, and report tentative evidence for a link between the pedagogical training and improvements in ToM. Together, our findings suggest important connections between reasoning about others’ minds and evidential reasoning in natural pedagogy in early childhood.
