Talk:New Zealand order of precedence

message: What IS the "order of precedence"?  What are the benifits associated with being at the top of the list?  Why is this list significant? Skylark 19:49, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: It's generally only of ceremonial importance. The idea is that the dignitary with the highest precedence walks into the room first, is introduced first, sits higher up the table, sits closer to the front of a photograph, etc. Another example: according to the New Zealand Cabinet Manual, when a junior minister phones a senior minister he speaks to the senior ministers secretary: but a senior minister gets her secretary to place the call and then picks it up once the junior minister is on the line.

message: Do Privy Counsellors still rank, given the establishment of the New Zealand Supreme Court effective from January 1 2004? -- FirstPrinciples 12:10, Nov 8, 2004 (UTC)
:To answer my own question, it seems the answer is yes. The Privy Council in this context is evidently a different concept to the legal court of the same name. -- FirstPrinciples 12:13, Nov 8, 2004 (UTC)
::The appeal to the Privy Council was an appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. (I might not have got the name quite right.) I haven't been able to establish whether New Zealand is still appointing Privy Councillors, but I suppose things stay as they are until the Order of Precedence is officially changed.

message: Archbishop Patrick Coveney (fourth on the list) no longer holds the position. Not sure who his replacement is. -- FP 11:44, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
:I believe it would be be Feesago Siaosi Fepulea’i of Samoa, assuming that there hasn't been any change there as well. (Lim Jock Seng of Brunei is actually more senior than Fepulea’i, but isn't resident in New Zealand, so isn't able to be Dean of the Diplomatic Corps. I've updated the article. -- Vardion 18:47, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Miss Robin Mulder of the Canadian High Commission sent the following e-mail to the help desk e-mail list.
The Canadian High Commission in Wellington, New Zealand respectfully asks if en.wikimedia.org could update the following webpage 
 
New_Zealand_order_of_precedence
 
to reflect that Mr. John Donaghy has departed New Zealand and is no longer High Commissioner.  He has been replaced by Ms. Penny B. Reedie, with an accreditation date of 31 August 2005.
 
It would be greatly appreciated if I could  be advised by email when the change has been enacted.
 
Thank you for your time and assistance in attending to this request.
 
Sincerely,
Robin Mulder  (Miss)
Assistant to the High Commissioner / Adjointe de l'Haute Commissaire 
High Commission of Canada / L'haut commissariat du Canada 
Level 11, 125 The Terrace 
The article was changed accordingly to reflect this advice. Capitalistroadster 00:37, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Could I suggest that the list of ambassadors, high commissioners, and so forth be omitted? There a considerable number of them, and they come and go all the time, making it quite difficult to keep the list up-to-date — the Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains a list which seems to be updated as changes occur, and linking to that would be easier than trying to play catch-up all the time with this page. Just a thought. -- Vardion 07:49, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

message: * Position 9 - The Leader of the Opposition in the Parliament of New Zealand
Effective 13 December 2011 David Shearer was elected (by his party members in parliament) leader of the Labour Party and assumed the role of leader of the opposition. Change made 20 June 2012 
To avoid creating new sections do you want to just add another entry to this section when a change is required?
