title: Tikanga Tainui: Tikanga whare wānanga

authors: Roa, Tom

subjects: Tikanga Māori

abstract: This paper is a preliminary report on an ongoing research project begun in 1999. The project involves consultation with Waikato-Tainui, the tāngata whenua of the Waikato region, about the construction of guidelines for University of Waikato staff (both Māori and non-Māori) who are involved in gatherings that call for adherence to Tainui protocols. Here, the emphasis is on guidelines for the conduct of pōwhiri (formal welcomes) on the University Marae.

title: Antipodean settler societies and their complexities: the Waitangi process in New Zealand and native title and the stolen generations in Australia

authors: Byrnes, Giselle

subjects: native title claim

abstract: This article considers the process of determining native title claims and responding to the revelation of forced Indigenous child removal in Australia, together with the Treaty of Waitangi claims process in New Zealand; each of which can be understood more broadly as a response to the aftermath and ongoing consequences of colonisation. We undertake this analysis comparatively, through an examination of the broad sweep of colonial history in both countries, followed by a more detailed consideration of the processes in question, as they have become manifest over the last decade or so in Australia and almost 30 years in New Zealand. We compare and contrast the institutions, epistemological and political preoccupations and language in each case, revealing various latent ironies and incongruities in the systems on both sides of the Tasman Sea.

title: Using the theory of planned behaviour to predict intentions to reduce the environmental impact of travel

authors: Reddy, Siddhart

abstract: The use of private cars is responsible for a large amount of the world’s CO2 emissions
and the amount of pollution produced by the aviation industry is also growing at an alarming 
rate. Thus, it is important to understand the factors that can lead to pro-environmental 
behaviours (PEB), such as choosing more environmentally friendly options for air and car 
travel. I explored whether the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) variables of
environmental attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control (PBC) 
predicted individuals’ willingness to change their travel behaviour. A sample of 327 
participants from New Zealand and the United States of America completed an online 
questionnaire measuring TPB variables for low-, medium- and high-cost behaviours which 
were defined as short, medium, and long trips by both car and plane. I hypothesised that, in 
line with the A-B-C model, the TBP variables would be most predictive of intentions to 
reduce the environmental impact of medium-cost behaviours, rather than low- or high-cost 
behaviours. Attitudes, subjective norms, and PBC almost always significantly predicted
behavioural intention for the NZ sample, whilst only subjective norms and PBC were 
significant predictors for the USA sample, however, there was no support for the low-cost 
hypothesis or A-B-C model. Findings may influence and inform interventions and policy 
aimed at behavioural change in different contexts and that it may be beneficial for 
interventions to be tailored to specific populations based upon the strength of correlating 
variables.
