Budget 2015: the government’s welfare policy, a positive view
Authors: Wilkinson Bryce
Published: September 2018

Nearly four years ago, Prime Minister John Key announced a major reform of the welfare system. He defined the problem with the existing system in the following terms:  The stand-out feature of New Zealand’s benefit system is how passive it is. For the most part it simply hands over benefits and leaves people to their own devices. Most beneficiaries are not expected to be available for work, or to take up work if it is offered to them. Naturally, many don’t.
Physician-assisted dying
Authors: Havill Jack
Published: September 2018

The term physician-assisted dying refers to where, at the request of a mentally competent person, a medical practitioner actively hastens death, by either providing the means by which the patient can take drugs themselves, or directly administering the drugs by injection. An example  of prospective legislation for physician-assisted dying in  New Zealand, consistent with several other legalised jurisdictions, can be found in Maryan Street’s End of Life Choice Bill (2012). Under this bill, individuals may seek medical assistance to die under defined circumstances.
What effect will the 2015 budget have on housing?
Authors: Howden-Chapman Philippa , O'Sullivan Kim , Bierre Sarah , Chisholm Elinor , Hamer-Adams Anna , Ombler Jenny , Amore Kate
Published: September 2018

Less than a month after the 2015 Budget a coroner released  a report on the tragic 2014 death of Emma-Lita Bourne, who had been living with her family in a state house in Ötara until unexpected complications of a respiratory infection led to her death in Starship Hospital. For the first time a coroner implicated poor housing as a cause, stating that ‘Whether the cold living conditions of the house became a contributing factor to the circumstances of Emma-Lita’s death cannot be excluded’ (Shortland, 2015, p.9). The house was cold and mouldy and the family had been unable to afford any heating.
Research note: a revised set of New Zealand wealth estimates
Authors: Bertram Geoff
Published: September 2018

In the February 2015 issue of Policy Quarterly I presented a table and chart tracing New Zealand’s national wealth from 1980 to 2014, including private wealth figures drawn from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s household-sector balance sheets. Expressed as percentages of GDP, these figures provided estimates of Thomas Piketty’s beta (the ratio of national wealth to national income) over those 35 years. In the February 2015 article I compared my results with the beta values calculated by Piketty for a number of other OECD countries over much longer time spans. New Zealand seemed at that point to have a lower beta than the typical developed economy, though with a parallel rising trend.
Financial incentives to work: the size of the margin between benefit and in-work incomes
Authors: Raven Jason
Published: September 2018

Financial incentives to work are an important consideration for policy makers in the realm of welfare and tax policy. Dominating one corner of the classic ‘iron triangle’ used by policy advisors to illuminate trade-offs between incentives to work, income adequacy and fiscal cost, poor financial disincentives to work can contribute to ‘trapping’ people in poverty. Further, as modern welfare systems have become increasingly ‘active’, with a strong focus on work and increased independence from the state, positive financial incentives have increasingly come to be seen as an important precondition for the effective operation of the welfare safety net.
A systems approach to defining environmental regulatory institutions
Authors: Pink Grant , Marshall Matt
Published: September 2018

It is unlikely that any new regulatory regime will involve the establishment of a completely new regulatory institution. Instead, regulatory responsibility is more often apportioned to an existing institution, or several institutions within a portfolio that most closely match the subject matter of the regulatory regime in question. This article therefore offers guidance less for those involved in the initial policy design phase, and more for those engaged in implementation and operational policy, as well as those with review and reform agendas. In emphasising these policy and policy-like elements, the article takes as its lead the argument made by the New Zealand Productivity Commission and the New Zealand government that the traditional emphasis of review and reform efforts on regulatory design has acted to the detriment of implementation and better regulatory practice.
Exploring the ethics of the use and commercialisation of New Zealand public health system data
Authors: Lovelock Kirsten , Gauld Robin , Martin Greg , McRae Jayden
Published: September 2018

This article canvasses the literature exploring issues related to the commercialisation of health data from the public health system. It examines whether commercialisation is a viable proposition in New Zealand, socially and ethically. In doing so, it provides a methodological approach to the development of an ethics and privacy policy framework for any potential commercialisation of public health data in New Zealand.
The Paris Climate Change Agreement: text and contexts
Authors: Macey Adrian
Published: September 2018

When French foreign minister Laurent Fabius brought down the gavel on the Paris Agreement on 12 December 2015, the international community reached a goal that had eluded it for six years: an updated and universal climate change agreement. It owed much to France’s diplomacy over the preceding 12 months, together with efficient, firm and innovative handling of the conference itself. Fundamental to the success of the Conference of the Parties (COP21) was the commitment at all levels from President Hollande down to engage with the broadest range of parties and non-state actors. The fruits of France’s engagement were nowhere more apparent than in the small island states’ comment in the final plenary that this was the first time they felt they had been listened to at a COP.
Biodiversity offsets in New Zealand: addressing the risks and maximising the benefits
Authors: Brown Marie A , Penelope Jemma
Published: September 2018

Biodiversity offsets are proliferating globally, and are commonly offered or required in a development context to address residual impacts on biodiversity. Regulatory requirements for mitigating or offsetting ecological harm are now commonplace, with more than 60 countries having introduced relevant policies (ten Kate and Crowe, 2014; Madsen, Carroll and Moore Brands, 2010). Biodiversity offsets are commonly framed in policy as opportunities to reconcile the competing interests of economic development and environmental protection, and are also viewed as a crucial means of internalising environmental costs and achieving conservation goals. On the other hand, a mismatch in certainty between the guaranteed losses from development activity in exchange for uncertain gains for the public interest commonly offered or required in a development context to address residual impacts on biodiversity.

Improving management of invasive species: New Zealand’s approach to pre- and post-border pests
Authors: Brenton-Rule Evan , Frankel Susy , Lester Phil
Published: September 2018

Biological invasions are a ubiquitous global concern. Invasive species are non-native species that arrive in a new area, establish and increase in density and distribution to the detriment of the recipient environment. Such species that become invasive are a major threat to biodiversity (Vitousek and D’Antonio, 1997). Unlike inanimate risks, living things establish, reproduce and often spread, leading to enormous environmental and economic effects (Vilà  et al., 2010).
Substantiation decision-making and risk prediction in child protection systems
Authors: Keddell Emily
Published: September 2018

In the last few years, predictive risk modelling has been suggested for use in the child welfare environment as an efficient means of targeting preventive resources and improving practitioner decision-making. First raised in the green paper on vulnerable children, then translated into the white paper on vulnerable children and the Children’s Action Plan, and now part of the Child, Youth and Family review remit, this particular tool has provoked a barrage of opinions and wide-ranging analyses, concerning ethical implications, feasibility and data issues, possible uses and political consequences (Ministry of Social Development, 2011, 2012). This has resulted in a flurry of media, academic and policy debates, both here and internationally, and many reviews and related publications.
William Nordhaus’s climate club proposal: thinking globally about climate change economics
Authors: Bertram Geoff
Published: September 2018

‘Think globally, act locally’ has long been a rallying cry for progressives and green activists. In this article I stress the importance of thinking globally before acting locally in the wake of the 2015 Paris conference on climate change. Both the content of the Paris Agreement and the political rhetoric surrounding it feel like a return to 1992 following the signing of the Rio Declaration and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
High stakes: disaster risk in New Zealand
Authors: Basher Reid
Published: September 2018

New Zealand faces significant risks associated with natural hazards (Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, 2011) and is one of the most vulnerable countries to such risks for its size (Insurance Council of New Zealand, 2014). The 2010–11 Canterbury earthquake sequence resulted in 185 deaths, a $40 billion rebuild cost, equal to about 15% of GDP, and now over five years of continuing disruption and trauma for thousands of people (Potter et al., 2015). A recent Wellington City Council report put the cost of a large earthquake in that city at $12 billion for building and infrastructure damage alone, plus an annual GDP loss of $10 billion.
Reversing the decline in New Zealand’s biodiversity: empowering Māori within reformed conservation law
Authors: Ruru Jacinta , O'Lyver Phil B , Scott Nigel , Edmunds Deborah
Published: September 2018

Creating new conservation law that more holistically and comprehensively supports hapu and iwi leadership in conservation management should be embraced as a critical step towards reversing the decline of Aotearoa New Zealand’s biodiversity. Treaty of Waitangi settlement statutes (for example, the Te Urewera Act 2014) and new conservation policies and practices (for example, the Department of Conservation’s Conservation Management Strategy Northland 2014–2024) throughout the country are strongly recognising the need for tangata whenua to be more involved in the conservation and management of New Zealand’s biodiversity. It is timely for conservation law itself to be reformed to better reflect and support these recent advancements.
Greening the future: a case for environmental impact bonds
Authors: Hall David
Published: September 2018

A central puzzle for environmental economics is how to integrate long-run costs and benefits into present-day decision making. Commonly this puzzle is described in terms of externalities. These occur when ‘an activity or transaction by some party causes an unintended loss or gain in welfare to another party, and no compensation for the change in welfare occurs’ (Daly and Farley, 2011, p.184). For example, the millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide that a large coal-fired power plant releases annually contributes to the cumulative problem of climate change, yet those who profit from producing electricity do not bear the burden of the negative consequences. Rather, these costs fall disproportionately upon future generations and communities uniquely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Thus, the emission of greenhouse gases creates a negative externality, because its costly impacts are external to the accounting of the actors who emit them.
Are regulated parties customers?
Authors: Wauchop Ben , Manch Keith
Published: September 2018

How does a regulator refer to the individuals or organisations it regulates? Are they customers, even though they are not buying a product or service, and often have little choice in the matter? Are they to be referred to as regulated entities, obligatees, licensees, taxpayers, businesses, employers or one of a number of other terms of this kind, their identity defined by their specific rights and obligations under the law? But what does this mean for regulatory agencies implementing multiple regimes?
Rapid developments in Artificial Intelligence: how might the New Zealand government respond?
Authors: Boyd Matthew , Wilson Nick
Published: September 2018

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have opened opportunities in a range of human endeavours (NSTC Committee on Technology, 2016). In response to the speed of these developments there has been a burst of analysis and dialogue in New Zealand. The New Zealand Institute of Directors commissioned a white paper (Chapman Tripp, 2016); the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment published Building a Digital Nation and the Strategic Science Investment Fund 2017–24 business plan (Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, 2017, 2016), and supports the new Artificial Intelligence Forum of New Zealand.
Law, Liquor, and Love
Authors: Sellman Doug , Connor Jennie , Robinson Geoff , McBride Sam , Farrell Tony
Published: September 2018

This article discusses attempts at alcohol law reform in New Zealand between 2008 and 2017. First, it describes a major review of alcohol by the New Zealand Law Commission, headed by Sir Geoffrey Palmer, who had overseen liberalisation of alcohol regulation 25 years earlier. The main recommendations of the commission’s final report featured progressive reform of the alcohol laws regulating marketing, price, accessibility and age of purchase. Second, it outlines the response to the commission’s report by the Nationalled government, including an Alcohol Reform Bill that ignored the key recommendations of the commission. This ‘non-reform’ bill was the outcome of a political process of obfuscation, delay and inaction led by then prime minister, John Key. Third, the article describes the factors that have contributed to the lack of effective alcohol law reform, despite the review and high public support for change over the past decade. We conclude that ‘the love of money’ is at the heart of the barriers to change. Finally, we propose three main policies that would make a significant difference to reducing alcohol-related harm in New Zealand and suggest how these could be advanced.
Promoting Better Public Services leadership: an appreciative critique
Authors: Jackson Brad , Jones Owain Smolovic
Published: September 2018

The authors of the Better Public Services Advisory Group Report (the BPS report) have concluded in a refreshingly unequivocal way that, in order to create ‘a public service and state sector that is achieving value-for-money, is innovative, provides high-quality services and manages change effectively’, the task with which they were charged to investigate, ‘the single most critical driver of successful change is leadership’ (Better Public Services Advisory Group (BPSAG), 2011, pp.3, 53).
Better Public Services: the case for monitoring and evaluation
Authors: Cumming Jacqueline , Forbes Sharleen
Published: September 2018

The recent release of ten result areas with associated performance indicators as a way of focusing and enhancing government services means that at some point in the future it will be necessary to check whether or not those results are being or have been achieved. It is timely, therefore, to review whether and how New Zealand government agencies monitor progress towards desired outcomes and evaluate key policies and programmes. In this article we consider the important role of monitoring and evaluation in achieving ‘better public services’, and how New Zealand needs to do better if we are to be sure we are achieving key outcomes and learning about what does and does not work to achieve these outcomes.
Provoking debate and learning lessons: it is early days, but what does the Performance Improvement Framework challenge us to think about?
Authors: Te Kawa Deborah , Guerin Kevin
Published: September 2018

Governed, designed and funded by the three central agencies, but delivered by the State Services Commission, the Performance Improvement Framework (PIF) is now three years old. Twenty-one reviews have been published. Four are currently under way, including the first PIF re-review. Three agencies have completed follow-up reviews. In addition, over 250 state servants have attended a PIF self-review workshop. Also, several new products and services are in development, including a PIF cluster model. Finally, the PIF agency model is in the middle of a two-stage upgrade, that reflects the ambition and new performance expectations at the heart of the advice of the Better Public Services Advisory Group (Better Public Services Advisory Group, 2011).
The importance of poverty early in childhood
Authors: Duncan Greg J , Magnuson Katherine
Published: September 2018

Using a poverty line set at 60% of New Zealand’s median national income, nearly one in five New Zealand children (19%) was poor in 2011 (Figure 1, based on Perry, 2012). This poverty rate is considerably less than that of the United States and Canada, similar to that of Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany and France, and much greater that in Scandinavian countries. These rates are far from immutable; New Zealand’s child poverty rate was much higher in 2004 before social policies were enacted which focused, in part, on the country’s child poverty problem.
The houses children live in: policies to improve housing quality
Authors: Howden-Chapman Philippa , Baker Michael G , Bierre Sarah
Published: September 2018

New Zealand ranks near the bottom of the OECD in its health and safety rating for its children (Public Health Advisory Committee, 2010). One of the key drivers of this is the relatively poor state of our housing. Young children spend virtually all of their time in the home environment, much of which is poor quality rental housing (Baker, Keall et al., 2007). The Children’s Commissioner’s Expert Advisory Group on Solutions to Child Poverty (EAG) recently highlighted the broad costs of not maintaining this essential infrastructure for the health of children, their educational opportunities and household income. New Zealand research has clearly demonstrated that improving the quality of housing enhances children’s health and attendance at school, while more energy efficient houses reduce our carbon emissions. This article gives an overview of current research and discusses the feasibility of various policies to address this pressing problem.
The challenge of securing durable reductions in child poverty in New Zealand
Authors: Boston Jonathan
Published: September 2018

New Zealand has tolerated significant levels of relative child poverty for more than two decades. For a country which once prided itself on being comparatively egalitarian and, more particularly, on being a great place to bring up children, this is surprising. It is also concerning. Child poverty imposes many long-term costs. This is especially the case, according to the available evidence, when poverty occurs during early childhood1 and when it is severe and/or persistent. These costs afflict not only the children directly exposed to poverty (e.g. in the form of lower educational achievement, reduced lifetime earnings and poorer health outcomes), but also society as a whole. The wider social and economic costs include increased health care costs, lower productivity growth and higher rates of criminal offending.2 In short, the empirical evidence suggests that substantial rates of child poverty reduce a nation’s prosperity. Hence, on economic grounds alone there is a case for seeking lower child poverty rates. Other considerations, such as the pursuit of fair opportunities for all children, make such a goal even more compelling.
The contract state and constrained democracy: the community and voluntary sector under threat
Authors: Grey Sandra , Sedgwick Charles
Published: September 2018

There is a long-standing acknowledgement by the public, government and academics of the essential democratic role of the community and voluntary sector. The sector is acknowledged as a conduit to government of information on society’s unmet needs and preferences (Maddison, Denniss and Hamilton, 2004, p.vii). As Salter observes, organisations ‘working at the grass-roots or flax roots level … become aware of trends and emerging issues earlier than the government. In short it is difficult to argue that such groups are not essential to any modern state’ (Salter, 2004, p.9). In New Zealand this role has been acknowledged in law since the mid-19th century and is referred to in a range of recent government documents (see Ministry of Social Development, 2012; Office for the Community and Vountary Sector, 2008; Cabinet Office, 2011). But it is not unchallenged. This article examines how the changing relationship between the state and the community and voluntary sector has resulted in the democratic voice of the sector being heavily constrained.
Window of opportunity to deliver better justice sector outcomes over the long term
Authors: Sherrell Paul
Published: September 2018

The justice sector contributes to society by protecting civil and property rights, as well as providing a fair and effective way to resolve disputes. In the criminal justice area, the sector aims to:  maintain law and order, focusing on minimising harm and victimisation;  bring perpetrators to justice with appropriate punishment;  provide rehabilitation for offenders to reduce reoffending. The question is how to deliver these aims in a way which maximises the benefits to society and efficiency of the sector.
Long-term challenges and opportunities in the natural resource sector
Authors: Chaum Miriam
Published: September 2018

New Zealand’s cultural, social and economic prospects are inextricably intertwined with the health and sustenance of our natural capital. New Zealand is wealthy in natural resources. We have plentiful, clean water; clean air; fertile soil and a climate well suited to humans, trees, livestock and agriculture; long coastlines and significant aquaculture resources; significant mineral and petroleum reserves; and extraordinary biodiversity on our land and in our water bodies. The World Bank estimates that New Zealand ranks eighth out of 120 countries and second out of OECD countries in natural capital per capita; we are outranked only by petroleum exporting countries (World Bank, 2011). While it is still substantial, natural capital in New Zealand has been reduced since the arrival of humans, however, including losses to our lowland forest and reductions in native biodiversity.
The NZ Transport Agency’s transport appraisal framework
Authors: Alberquerque Ernest
Published: September 2018

In a recent article in Policy Quarterly (August 2013) Michael Pickford claimed that economic efficiency (as determined by social cost-benefit analysis) has declined in importance as a factor in determining investment in state highways. He claims that this has led to the NZ Transport Agency investing in state highway projects with low benefit-cost ratios, such as the roads of national significance. This reply explains why Pickford’s assertions are not correct.
