title: Pollution in the Te Aroha district caused by mining

authors: Hart, Philip

abstract: Whereas miners (and their supporters in the Mines Department) felt constrained by the imposition of environmental controls, many Te Aroha residents were concerned about the purity of their domestic water supply, although a vocal minority was more interested in the possibilities of jobs and money. As mullock and tailings were unavoidable consequences of mining, when farmers had fine silt deposited on their land they combined with town-dwellers to seek the removal of the designation of the Waihou River as a sludge channel.
Efforts to revive mining during the depression of the 1930s revived concerns about pollution, and in the following decade the Auckland Smelting Company’s efforts to develop the Tui portion of the field provoked considerable debate about protecting Te Aroha’s water supply amongst officials and within the community. The warden, encouraged by departmental officials, permitted mining, but imposed conditions that its opponents considered to be inadequate and which the company sought to evade.

title: Platinum(II) complexes containing the 3,3-dimethylglutarimidate ligand

authors: Nair, Ashwin Gopalan

subjects: Crystal structure

abstract: Reaction of cis-[PtCl ₂(PPh ₃) ₂] with excess 3,3-dimethylglutarimide (dmgH) and sodium chloride in refluxing methanol gives the mono-imidate complex cis-[PtCl(dmg)(PPh ₃) ₂], which was structurally characterized. The plane of the imidate ligand is approximately perpendicular to the platinum coordination plane which, coupled with restricted rotation about the Pt-N bond, results in inequivalent methyl groups and CH2 protons of the dmg ligand in the room temperature ¹H NMR spectrum. These observations were corroborated by a theoretical study using density functional theory methods. The analogous bromide complex cis-[PtBr(dmg)(PPh ₃) ₂] can be prepared by replacing NaCl with NaBr in the reaction mixture.

title: Introduction: Recognition, redistribution and reconciliation in postcolonial settler societies

authors: van Meijl, Toon

subjects: multiculturalism

abstract: Various questions are addressed regarding recognition of special rights for indigenous minorities in postcolonial nation-states, redistributing resources to redress longstanding indigenous grievances about the history of colonial dispossession and strategy of reconciliation between the immigrant majority of settlers and their descendants against a backdrop of multiculturalism.
