title: Trusts for religious purposes

authors: Chevalier-Watts, Juliet

abstract: In order for a trust to be recognised as charitable in law, it must meet the following criteria (Andrew Butler (ed) Equity and Trusts in New Zealand (2nd ed, Thomson Reuters, 2009) at 273): 
i) Under law be deemed charitable; 
ii) Satisfy the public benefit test; 
iii) Be beneficial, not detrimental; 
iv) Be for charitable purposes. 
It is on the issue of the public benefit test that this paper focuses, specifically in relation to those trusts that fall into the category of the advancement of religion. Before turning to the issues associated with such matters, it is worthwhile considering briefly the jurisprudential evolution of the charitable purpose requirement to contextualise the contemporary position of trusts that fall into the class of the advancement of religion.

title: Keynote Address: Barriers and incentives to Māori participation in the profession of psychology

authors: Levy, Michelle Patricia

subjects: Maori

abstract: It is well known that Māori are overrepresented
within the client group of
psychologists. Despite ongoing attempts to
recruit and retain more Māori within the
discipline of psychology, the numbers of
Māori psychologists continues to remain
low, raising serious concerns about the
ability of the profession to effectively meet
the needs of its clientele. The objectives of this study were to
identify the, barriers to, and incentives for improving the recruitment and retention
of Māori in the profession of
psychology and Māori to gain and maintain registration
as psychologists. This paper is
based on the full report provided to the
New Zealand Psychologists’ Board. The findings in this study
clearly demonstrate that in order to attract
Māori to participate in psychology, the
majority of environments need to change
substantially. It is simply not enough for
organisations, whether they are educational, professional, or service delivery agencies,
to identify the need for more Māori
psychologists, yet still fail to commit to,
and actively engage in, altering long
identified environmental factors that are
barriers to Māori participation.
