When is a policy past its use-by date? Differential superannuation payment rates: a case for ongoing monitoring of long-term policies
Authors: Forbes Sharleen
Published: September 2018

In 2011 the prime minister’s science advisor, Sir Peter Gluckman, drew attention to the need for clear monitoring and evaluation of key policies and programmes in New Zealand, stating: ‘The importance of well evaluated interventions both at the pilot stage and after scale-up is critical, as the costs and implications of inferior science or wrong data leading to policy decisions are immense’, and that ‘excellent social science, if done well, can be immensely valuable. That said, this is an area more than any other where inept science or a scientific vacuum can lead to policy decisions based on dogma and ideology rather than on the knowledge needed to lead to better outcomes’.
Health policy
Authors: Cumming Jacqueline
Published: September 2018

Improving health and well-being and promoting equity in outcomes are long-standing goals of New Zealand governments (for example, Department of Health, 1989; King, 2000; Ryall, 2007; Ministry of Health, 2016a, 2016b).1 New Zealand’s publicly funded health system delivers millions of high-quality services each year to achieve these goals. Our level of expenditure per capita on health care is slightly below the OECD average, but our health care system provides good overall health outcomes for the money we spend (OECD, 2015). Both our life expectancy and health expectancy (the years we live in good health) are increasing, although the former is increasing faster than the latter, leading to an increase in the number of years New Zealanders spend in poorer health; a key challenge is to improve our quality of life as people age (Ministry of Health, 2017a). Sadly, however, there are significant inequities in health, with Mäori, Pasifika and lower-income people having poorer health than other New Zealanders.
Big issues, bigger solutions: are bottom lines enough?
Authors: Brown Marie A , Stephens Theo R T
Published: September 2018

The life-supporting capacity of New Zealand’s environments has been much reduced and the pace of degradation shows little sign of abating (Ministry for the Environment and Statistics New Zealand, 2015). Few countries are experiencing greater biodiversity loss, more rapid freshwater deterioration or greater per capita increases in greenhouse gas emissions (Myers et al., 2013; Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, 2016; Gluckman, 2017). The climate is changing fast and it is already clear that a number of communities cannot be sustained for more than another decade or two in their current locations.
Alleviating poverty: issues and options
Authors: Boston Jonathan
Published: September 2018

New Zealand was among the first countries in the world to implement a relatively comprehensive welfare state. But almost 80 years after the passage of the Social Security Act in 1938, serious social problems persist, not least significant levels of poverty – especially child poverty – and income inequality. In recent years, such problems have attracted growing public concern, as reflected in opinion polls and political debate.
Regulatory stewardship: voice of the regulator
Authors: Winson Stephanie
Published: September 2018

In 2014 the New Zealand Productivity Commission inquiry on regulatory institutions and practices concluded that ‘The performance of New Zealand’s regulatory system is in need of improvement – in particular around developing and maintaining the capability needed to effectively implement regulation and the need to oversee and manage the overall system’ (Productivity Commission, 2014, p.2). Since then there has been much talk of regulatory stewardship. This article considers what it is and the importance of the role of the regulator in achieving it.
Two key lessons from a public sector internship: accountability in public sector contracting and client-level data
Authors: Macfarlane Matthew
Published: September 2018

I served as a research intern for the Ākina Foundation through the School of Government’s graduate pathway programme during the summer of 2016-17. Ākina, which is dedicated to fostering social enterprise in New Zealand, was contracted by the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) to facilitate and manage the co-design and implementation of its Acceleration for Results programme. This programme seeks to transition the providers with MSD contracts from output-based contracts (i.e. purchase agreements) to results-based contracts (i.e. contracts which specify desired changes in recipients’ quality of life according to prescribed measures).
Insuring property under climate change
Authors: Storey Belinda , Noy Ilan
Published: September 2018

Climate change will increasingly create severe risks for  New Zealand’s coastal housing stock. Even a small amount of sea level rise will substantially exacerbate the costs of flooding and storm surges (Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, 2015). Under the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) three mitigation scenarios, global average sea levels are likely to rise by between 28cm and 73cm by 2100 (above the 1986–2005 average). Under the IPCC’s high emissions scenario the sea level is likely to rise by between 52cm and 98cm by 2100 (IPCC, 2013). Only collapse of parts of the Antarctic ice sheet, if triggered, could cause the sea level to rise substantially above these ranges. Some regions in New Zealand (including the main urban centres) have high enough quality geographic data to infer the number of homes at risk. In those regions, there are over 43,000 homes within 1.5m of the present average spring high tide and over 8,000 within 50cm.
Income volatility in New Zealand
Authors: Moore Toby
Published: September 2018

‘Economic risk is a lot like a hurricane. Hurricanes strike powerfully and suddenly. They rip apart what they touch; property, landscape and lives … And although they can be prepared for, they cannot be prevented.’ These sentiments, from Yale political scientist Jacob Hacker, explain why economic risk is a concern for households, and why the extent of that concern depends a great deal on how well households are protected against risk. The potential for individual bad luck to lead to hardship has meant that society has, in many instances, determined that individual risk should be borne collectively through systems of social welfare or social insurance (Hacker, 2008, p.5).
Trends and determinants of top pay in the New Zealand public and private sectors, 1995–2014
Authors: Hazeldine Tim , Wang Michael , Lee Kar Yew
Published: September 2018

This article analyses recent trends and determinants of chief executive (CEO) pay in the New Zealand public sector, and of numbers and pay of senior managers in the sector. Comparisons are made with the listed company private sector. It turns out that both CEO pay growth and numbers of senior managers in the public sector have lagged behind those in the private sector, while senior manager pay has moved ahead.
Reforming the public sector and Parliament - Chris Hipkins' goals
Authors: James Colin
Published: September 2018

Back in the late 1990s senior public servants worried at Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) roundtables that ‘siloisation’ of the state sector was hampering effectiveness. Also at that time an IPS roundtable of chief and deputy chief executives backed posting advice on agency websites when decisions were made or at some specific time after delivery.

Licensing Trusts in New Zealand
Authors: Teahan Bernard
Published: September 2018

Licensing trusts in New Zealand are a statutory form of community enterprise now existing for over 70 years. Thirty were established between 1944 and 1975. Over the years since they have generated wealth of $250 million through their business units, benefited their areas in many ways, and through their community support donations programmes distributed significant profit back to enhance their community’s quality of life. Today, 18 continue to operate (mainly hospitality) businesses, and provide support to their communities.
Earthquake recovery legislation: Learning from experience
Authors: Kerkin Sarah
Published: September 2018

The Canterbury earthquake sequence sparked a series of constitutional seismic shifts whose after-effects look set to continue long after Christchurch’s regeneration is complete. At the heart of the Canterbury earthquake legislation was a Henry VIII clause that gave the executive the power to modify almost all primary legislation for a broad range of purposes related to recovery. The Henry VIII clause was supported by privative clauses shielding government decisions from judicial review.
Cross-Party Collaboration on Climate Policy: the experience of GLOBE-NZ
Authors: Graham Kennedy
Published: September 2018

Climate change has been described as the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced (Ban Ki-moon, 2014). No surprise, then, that it is challenging human problem solving, to an unprecedented degree. The 2015 Paris Agreement was a breakthrough in climate diplomacy, but progress is confined so far to the political psychology of achieving universality for emission reductions, a quarter of a century after the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (1992) called for a return to baseline levels within a decade.
TacklingPovertyNZ: the nature of poverty in NZ and how to address it
Authors: Smith Conal
Published: September 2018

Poverty in New Zealand is one of the foremost challenges we face as a country. Child poverty rates remain persistently above rates in many other developed countries and well above the rates prevalent in New Zealand during the 1980s. Poverty is of particular concern in a number of parts of provincial New Zealand, where it coincides with high rates of drug dependency, poor health outcomes – reaching Third World standards in some areas – high crime and victimisation levels and multi-generational cycles of disadvantage (Ministry of Social Development, 2010; New Zealand Treasury, 2017a).
A Partial History of Futures Thinking in New Zealand
Authors: Menzies Malcolm
Published: September 2018

Futures Thinking offers ways of addressing, even helping to shape, the future; it is not about gazing into a crystal ball. It illuminates the ways that policy, strategies and actions can promote desirable futures and help prevent those we consider undesirable. It stimulates strategic dialogue, widens our understanding of the possible, strengthens leadership, and informs decision-making (OECD, 2017)
The digital economy and society: a preliminary commentary
Authors: Gluckman Peter
Published: September 2018

Virtually all technologies that humans have invented or will invent present both benefits and risks. The history of humankind is that of invention, development and exploitation of technologies while managing their downsides. However, it is the speed, scope and pervasiveness of digital technological change across virtually every aspect of human endeavour that generate an enormous array of possible implications. Such characteristics undoubtedly set the digital revolution (sometimes called the fourth industrial revolution) apart from past technological revolutions in the way they challenge aspects of human behaviour and social institutions.
Better Public Services: a window of opportunity
Authors: Ryan Bill
Published: September 2018

Led by an advisory group, Better Public Services is the government’s programme to reform the state sector to provide high-quality, flexible and cost-effective public services. The advisory group was established May 2011 and reported December 2011, with the report released March 2012 (Better Public Services Advisory Group (BPSAG), 2011). It comprised eight members: (then) Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet chief executive, Maarten Wevers (chair); Watercare Services Ltd (Auckland) chief executive Mark Ford; Air New Zealand group general manager, people and technical operations, Vanessa Stoddart; Wise Group chief executive Jacqui Graham; the state services commissioner, Iain Rennie; State Services Commission deputy commissioner Sandi Beatie; secretary to the Treasury Gabriel Makhlouf; Victoria University School of Government professor Peter Hughes
Changing the culture to build better public services: it’s not only what we do but how we do it that will make us great
Authors: Rennie Iain
Published: September 2018

When I started at the State Services Commission in 2008 there were 37 chief executives. By the completion of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment merger this year there will be 28. The reality of now working in a system of government services where there are fewer chief executives means a change in thinking and behaviour is required – not only to ‘make it work’, but to make it work really well, which is what New Zealanders are entitled to.

Well-being in Wellington: a report on the June 2012 Wellbeing and Public Policy Conference
Authors: Morrison Philip S , Weijers Dan
Published: September 2018

International interest in including a broad range of measures of well-being in national accounts and in using well-being research to inform policy making was greatly stimulated by the Stiglitz report (Stigliz, Sen and Fitoussi, 2008). The essential message of this report was that if we want wellbeing to feature as one of our country’s outcomes it has to be measured and monitored appropriately to test its responsiveness to public policy interventions. In order to bring these issues to a New Zealand audience, editors from the International Journal of Wellbeing organised the Wellbeing and Public Policy conference held at Victoria University of Wellington over the three days of 13–15 June 2012.
Good cause for optimism: 1912 and 2012
Authors: James Colin
Published: September 2018

A ‘young professional’ in the public service in 1912 had good cause for optimism. The Public Service Act 1912, which enacted most of the recommendations of the Hunt Royal Commission, had created a merit-based system with standardised conditions of employment, pay and pensions, and hiring, firing and promotion decided by the public service commissioner. That gave security and independence. There were yearly pay rises for new entrants (cadets); a capable officer could earn a respectable sum by his thirties (this was an overwhelmingly male service); there was annual leave and ‘liberal sick leave on pay’ and the opportunity to earn professional qualifications (Public Service Commissioner, 1920, p.6).
Round table on ‘free and frank advice’: summary of discussion

Published: September 2018

The roundtable at which Professor Mulgan presented his paper was attended by over 40 participants, including past and present ministers, chief executives and senior managers, academics, independent researchers, observers and commentators. The discussion was conducted under the Chatham House Rule. The following is a summary record.
What future for free and frank advice?
Authors: Mulgan Richard
Published: September 2018

I would like to begin by thanking the Institute of Public Administration for their invitation to deliver this lecture as part of their centennial commemorations of the Public Service Act of 1912. This act deserves to be remembered because it formally enshrined certain values that remain fundamental to government but which have not always received due recognition from those who comment publicly on public service matters.
Seismic shifts: designing and growing innovation capability
Authors: Washington Sally , Groves Rachel
Published: September 2018

The Better Public Services Advisory Group report (November 2011) noted that innovation in the New Zealand public management system is currently ‘stifled by a lack of capability, an undue degree of risk aversion on the part of chief executives, boards and Ministers and little consideration of how to manage risk in this context’ (Better Public Services Advisory Group, 2011, p.20). In launching the Better Public Services report and results, the prime minister called for ‘a public sector that embraces innovation’
Giving voice to the ‘silent majority’: exploring the opinions and motivations of people who do not make submissions
Authors: Stephenson Janet , Lawson Rob
Published: September 2018

As captured in the quotation above, there appears to be a widespread assumption that there is a ‘silent majority’ of people who support proposals but do not make submissions, and that those who do make submissions tend to be opposed and therefore do not reflect the true state of public opinion. The New Zealand Wind Energy Association (a membership-based wind industry association) suggested that it would be useful to examine whether this was actually the case, in respect to wind farms in particular. As researchers we were also interested in the broader question of why non-submitters might not be participating in formal planning processes, so we developed our research to address two questions: (a) how do non-submitters’ perspectives of proposed wind farms differ from those of submitters; and (b) why do nonsubmitters not make submissions?
Harnessing science for business
Authors: Menzies Malcolm
Published: September 2018

The New Zealand government has announced the creation of a new Advanced Technology Institute – since renamed Callaghan Innovation after the late Sir Paul Callaghan – to be launched in 2013. Callaghan Innovation’s purpose will be ‘to help get New Zealand’s most innovative ideas out of the lab and into the marketplace more quickly and provide a high-tech HQ for innovative New Zealand business’.1 This development is the latest in a long line of attempts to use research, science and technology to boost the country’s economy (Palmer and Miller, 1984; Ministerial Working Party, 1986; Science and Technology Advisory Committee, 1988; Ministerial Task Group, 1991; Ministry of Research, Science and Technology, 2006, 2007).
Energy efficiency in the Dutch residential sector: reflections on policy implementation
Authors: Hoppe Thomas , Bellekom Sandra , Lulofs Kris
Published: September 2018

A major objective of Dutch energy programmes and strategies is the reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases, especially CO2. The CO2 reduction target currently being pursued by The Netherlands is 2% annually by 2020 below 1990 levels. Climate change mitigation has been receiving political attention in The Netherlands for a long time, resulting in a particularly close incorporation of energy programmes and measures into a comprehensive, long-term Dutch climate change policy programme, which started in 1998 after the country signed the Kyoto treaty.
Bioelectricity: renewables’ Cinderella in Spain, New Zealand and worldwide
Authors: Dinica Valentina
Published: September 2018

Ever since the oil crises of the 1970s, governments around the world have grappled with the challenge of increasing the security of energy systems. On the demand side, policy interventions have focused on the energy efficiency of technologies, products and buildings, and on energy conservation through behavioural changes. On the supply side, the deployment of domestic renewable energy sources emerged as a logical option; this was especially encouraged in the contexts where political leaders also agreed to address the environmental impacts of energy production based on fossil fuels (air, water and soil pollution, next to biodiversity and human health impacts). The 1980s and 1990s brought about wider global concerns regarding the sustainability of development, reflected in the adoption by most governments of the 1992 Rio de Janeiro Declaration on Environment and Development and numerous other international agreements. Key among such concerns have been the depletability of natural resources, especially fossil fuels (United Nations, 1987), and the impacts of greenhouse gases on climate change.
The denominator problem: energy demand in a sustainable energy policy
Authors: Barton Barry
Published: September 2018

Often when people think of policy for long-term sustainability they think of energy supply and not energy demand. What comes to mind often are new sources of supply on the very edge of technology, such as shale gas and deep-sea oil resources; or it may be renewable energy sources, such as hydro, wind, solar, geothermal and biofuels. But if people focus exclusively or excessively on supply, they are overlooking the demand side. How much energy must we produce in order to meet our human and economic needs? What assumptions are we making about future energy demand? In regard to a particular energy project going through an environmental impact assessment process, how do we evaluate whether the project is necessary?
Why we need legislation to address child poverty
Authors: Henaghan Mark
Published: September 2018

Children who live in poverty in New Zealand currently have no legal recognition and no real voice. These children do not choose their circumstances, but are usually born into families experiencing poverty. Children, by their very status as children, have no resources of their own to enable them to improve their own conditions. As a general rule, parents and/ or guardians are legally responsible for the emotional and material well-being of the children in their care. But what happens when some parents and/or guardians are unable to provide for the children in their care? Should these children and their families be merely left to their own devices, or should the government as the elected representatives of New Zealand citizens provide assistance? This article considers the growing child poverty problem in New Zealand and the immediate and long-term consequences of poverty, and examines whether legislation addressing child poverty is required.
Social protection in Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands
Authors: Dwyer Maire
Published: September 2018

A decade ago the idea that governments and international agencies would support development policies that provided regular and reliable transfers to those in poverty would have been seen as most improbable ...

Environmental policy-making in New Zealand, 1978-2013
Authors: Taylor Gary
Published: September 2018

This article examines the ways in which key environmental policies have been made in the past, and reflects on the present state of play with respect to these policies. The article draws on my experience with the Environmental Defence Society (EDS) since 1978 and the reflections are personal ones. The issues covered are: government agencies; climate change; oceans; freshwater; and resource management law. The objective of this discussion is to see if the past illuminates the present in any useful way.
What role can local authorities play in tobacco ‘end-game’ policies in New Zealand?
Authors: Palmer Ken , Bullen Chris , Paynter Janine
Published: September 2018

In March 2011 the New Zealand government agreed to the recommendation that it ‘aim for tobacco consumption and smoking prevalence to be halved by 2015 across all demographics, followed by a longer-term goal of making New Zealand a smoke-free nation by 2025’ (New Zealand Parliament, 2011, p.4). ‘Smoke-free’ is defined in this instance as a very low prevalence of smoking and minimal availability of tobacco, rather than prohibition of smoking.
Fiscal consolidation and transforming government in the United Kingdom
Authors: Nolan Patrick
Published: September 2018

In August 2010 the Economist magazine featured on its front cover a mocked-up photo of the United Kingdom’s new prime minister, David Cameron, sporting a punk rock-style Union Jack mohawk. This reflected the promise of a new, radical approach to fiscal policy. As the Economist (2010) noted: ‘Britain has embarked on a great gamble. Sooner or later, many other rich-world countries will have to take it too.’ This article looks at the United Kingdom’s recent experiment with fiscal consolidation. It puts this consolidation into its historical and international context and assesses its strengths and weaknesses. It shows that over its first three years the Coalition government failed to create a fiscal policy framework that holds spending on a lower track. However, the June 2013 spending review (for the 2015–16 fiscal year) and recent positioning of the opposition Labour Party indicate that a new approach to fiscal discipline may now be starting to take hold.
Looking back and looking forward at the UK Committee for Standards in Public Life: does it offer a model for New Zealand?
Authors: McCaulay Michael
Published: September 2018

Do recent events such as the controversies over Sky City, election funding, ministerial expenses and so on raise questions about the standards of behaviour demanded of New Zealand’s public figures? If so, are there lessons that can be drawn from elsewhere about how to monitor and anticipate risks to public integrity? Perhaps one instructional example can be found in the United Kingdom’s Committee for Standards in Public Life (CSPL).
Applying cognitive perspectives on decision-making to the policy advice process: a practitioner’s view
Authors: Hughes Tim
Published: September 2018

Behavioural economics and the related fields of cognitive and social psychology are now very much in the mainstream, as the highly visible success of the Behavioural Insights Unit in the United Kingdom attests. A robust and diverse range of findings about the limits of human thinking challenges policy practitioners to reconsider how they both design and advise on policies. This challenge is particularly relevant given that the training and background of policy advisors typically does not include these fields, with political science, law and conventional economics much more common.
A brief reply to Ernest Albuquerque
Authors: Pickford Michael
Published: September 2018

Mr Albuquerque challenges my article in Policy Quarterly (Volume 9, Issue 3, 2013) on three main grounds. Firstly, he uses the well-known limitations of standard cost-benefit analysis (CBA) in transport project appraisals as the basis for claiming that the ‘strategic fit’ and ‘effectiveness’ criteria adopted by the NZTA lead to a better estimation of the total economic impact of the proposed activity than using the ‘efficiency’ criterion alone. He implies that these criteria attempt to capture the impact of large transport schemes on long-term land use development and on induced traffic effects. However, he does not substantiate this claim, and it is unclear how use of these criteria could achieve that goal.
Fiscal challenges and changing patterns of need for health and long-term care in New Zealand
Authors: Mays Nicholas , Marney John , King Erin
Published: September 2018

New Zealand’s health and long-term care system plays an important role in society by improving the length and quality of people’s lives and providing dignity for the sick and infirm. It also accounts for a significant proportion of government spending and a rising share of national income. This article discusses some of the challenges that New Zealand faces in managing expenditure growth and repositioning its health and long-term care system to deal more effectively with changing patterns of disease.
The political economy of long-term fiscal planning from a social democratic perspective
Authors: Cullen Michael
Published: September 2018

Great care and intellectual power have gone into the process of producing the Treasury’s 2013 long-term fiscal projections.Those projections will, no doubt, create some controversy. The assumptions will be open to challenge, as will, even more so, some of the policy conclusions that the Treasury may draw from the exercise. Yet no one should be in doubt that this process has been a much more open and considered one than its predecessors. I enjoyed participating in the Treasury’s Long-Term Fiscal External Panel and have been impressed by the calibre of the officials involved.
Fiscal and other risks over the long term
Authors: Upton Simon
Published: September 2018

After 13 years’ absence from any involvement in public life in New Zealand it has been a welcome challenge to re-immerse myself in issues with which I used to be familiar. I’d like to focus this article on why we should see the Treasury’s review of the government’s long-term fiscal outlook as an exercise in managing a wide range of risks under conditions of significant uncertainty; and how, from a political point of view, one might seek to stop the need for fiscal prudence sliding off the radar screen.
The role and importance of long-term fiscal planning
Authors: Boston Jonathan , Prebble Rebecca
Published: September 2018

Many countries now require the regular publication of longterm fiscal projections, looking at the potential long-term costs of government spending programmes (see Anderson and Sheppard, 2009). In New Zealand, section 26N of the Public Finance Act 1989 (as amended in 2004) requires the Treasury to publish a Statement on the Long-Term Fiscal Position at least every four years. Under the act, such statements must look out at least 40 years. Their contents are the responsibility of the secretary to the Treasury (rather than the minister of finance), and the Treasury is required to use ‘its best professional judgments’ in assessing the fiscal outlook and potential risks.

This considers the revision strategies as part of the research proposals writing by examining how a focus on deletion, substitution, addition and reordering affects the revising processes ofwritten products. The method used in this study was a qualitative research fundamentally involved an in-depth interpretation of data. Four university students at PBI UST academic year of 2015/2016 involved in this study used different revision strategies: (a) revising by deletion, (b) revising by substitution, (c) revising by addition and (d) revising by reordering. An open ended interview technique was used to get information on problems the participants faced during writing and revising their research proposals. The processes of data analysis technique were (1) establish units of analysis of revision strategies, indicating how these units are similar to and different from each other, (2) match the responses given in interviews to written documents, (3) create a domain analysis, and (4) establish relationships and linkages between the domains (Manion & Morrison, 2000). The findings show that participants revised their research proposals by using a deletion strategy through which they focus on removing certain parts of the proposals being produced. Another revision strategy is substitution in which participants organize replacements of inappropriate parts of the proposals. The revision strategy called addition is used to refer to certain missing parts of proposals. The simultaneous use of reordering is also of paramount importance to mark the revised source materials in the writing activities. Emergent revision strategies were coined byparticipants namely revision by consultation, revision by rereading and reanalyzing, and revision by reviewing. Participants faced grammatical errors (grammatical difficulties), lack of vocabulary, incorrect use of dictions and sentences (a word-level and a sentence-level of difficulties) in the process of writing their research proposals.Keywords: revision strategies, deletion, substitution, addition, reordering
