			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://guidance.net.nz/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/anthemforeveryone.jpg" rel="lightbox[315]"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-316" title="anthemforeveryone" src="http://guidance.net.nz/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/anthemforeveryone.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a>As Kiwis, we all have the right to feel very lucky. New Zealand is a  place of great cultural diversity and richness. Migrants from all over  the world come to New Zealand to enjoy a peaceful, accepting and  egalitarian lifestyle.</p>
<p>A key factor in New Zealand’s cultural success has been a willingness to  embrace new ideas about equality very early. Indigenous relations are  stronger in New Zealand than in any other colonised nation and we were  the first country in the world to give women the vote.</p>
<p>In such a secular country, where the majority do not have strong  religious views, having a national anthem that explicitly mentions one  specific religion seems curiously old fashioned.<br />
This is secular issue with real importance to our sense of national  identity – to celebrate the rich variety of religious and cultural  perspectives.</p>
<p>Since 1976, New Zealand’s national anthem has been the Christian hymn –  ‘God Defend New Zealand’. Originally a Christian poem written by a  Dunedin Freemason in the 1870s, it was given a melody shortly after  that. However, more than 100 years passed before it was officially  accepted as New Zealand’s national song. It currently holds the same  status in this country as ‘God Save The Queen’.</p>
<p>Unlike the flag, which has a long history in our country, ‘God Defend  New Zealand’ has no such heritage. If such a song were submitted as our  national anthem today (only 34 years later) it would almost certainly be  rejected on the basis of religious favouritism.</p>
<p>According to census statistics and trends, more than 40% of people in  New Zealand do not identify with the Christian God. Their beliefs vary  from agnostics and atheists to the devoutly faithful of a multitude of  religious beliefs. As we move forward shaping our culture and identity,  it is becoming even more important to hold strongly to our diverse and  secular ideals.</p>
<p>In 2007, a government initiative was set in motion to ensure our  diversity was embraced and protected. It was called the New Zealand  Diversity Action Programme, and it brings together any organisations  taking practical steps to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Recognise and celebrate the cultural diversity of our society  (diverse)</li>
<li>Promote the equal enjoyment by everyone of their civil, political,  economic, social and cultural rights, regardless of race, colour,  ethnicity or national origin (equal)</li>
<li>Foster harmonious relations between diverse peoples (harmonious)</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;">
Diverse, equal and harmonious: those three words encapsulate what  society in New Zealand should be. To demonstrate that no one would be  left behind, the government publically state that New Zealand is a  nation that has no official religion.</p>
<p>It is time for us to have our National Anthem changed.</p>
<p>It is time for us to have a song that represents all New Zealanders.</p>
<p>It is time for the New Zealand government to honour their own words and  put no single faith ahead of other beliefs.</p>
<p>We need a song we can all sing with pride, connection and a sense of  belonging… an Anthem for Everyone.<a href="http://www.anthemforeveryone.co.nz" target="_blank"></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://guidance.net.nz/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/New_Zealand_-_Auckland.jpg" rel="lightbox[310]"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-313" title="New_Zealand_-_Auckland" src="http://guidance.net.nz/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/New_Zealand_-_Auckland-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Lots of noise starting to be made around the structure of both the <a href="http://www.ata.govt.nz" target="_blank">Transition Agency</a> and the eventual form the super council will take with regards to CCO&#8217;s. This <a href="http://publicaddress.net/6472#post6472" target="_blank">recent post by Russell Brown</a> and the <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&amp;objectid=10626457" target="_blank">opinion piece from Michael Barnett</a> that pre-empted it cover some of the concerns pretty well:</p>
<blockquote><p>I&#8217;ve heard from several people involved with the ATA&#8217;s work that they&#8217;re concerned about the lack of accountability in the agency, the apparently unchecked costs of its work and the sweeping mandate accorded to the ATA&#8217;s head, Mark Ford. The agency has been described to me as &#8220;a de facto ministry, with Mark Ford as the Minister.&#8221;</p>
<p>Where the comparison falls down, of course, is that we elect ministers.<br />
&#8230;</p>
<p>Until you get to the council-controlled organisation, or CCOs, which are being developed under a different – and, as Barnett noted, much less accountable – process.</p>
<p>CCOs will carry out various of the forthcoming Auckland Council&#8217;s functions. The ATA&#8217;s current thinking is that there will be seven CCOs, three of which &#8212; Watercare, Transport and the Waterfront Development Agency – will be established under the Local Government (Auckland Law Reform) Bill, the third of the three super-city bills.</p>
<p>&#8230;</p>
<p>The accountability of the three key CCOs to the forthcoming, elected Auckland Council is extremely questionable. And this isn&#8217;t trivial. Watercare will control Auckland&#8217;s water resources and set user charges. The Auckland Transport Agency, will have control of Auckland&#8217;s transportation contracts.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s pretty much a given that there will be power struggles between the Auckland Council and these CCOs. <strong>But the ATA has particular advantages here: it decides where the assets of current council CCOs go. It can veto the decisions of the councils, including those on spending. And it has a free hand to run up debt in the name of Auckland ratepayers</strong>.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s more: <strong>Watercare, Ford&#8217;s previous employer, has a fairly extraordinary deal in the third bill. It will not officially become a CCO until mid-2012. Until then it will be largely beyond the reach of the elected council – and it has the power to propose bylaws to the Auckland Council, which, with a few exceptions, must accept them.</strong></p>
<p>In all this, <strong>the ATA is accountable to only one Auckland voter – the Minister of Local Government, Rodney Hide. So you&#8217;d better be trusting Rodney.</strong></p>
<p>&#8230;<br />
Meanwhile, <strong>the ATA needs only the approval of Rodney Hide and Bill English to raise debts that the Auckland Council will own henceforth. Potentially, the ATA could raise the $100 million that Murray McCully wants Auckland to spend on his World Cup waterfront project and pass the money to the Waterfront Development Agency, whose directors will be appointed by Rodney Hide on the recommendation of the ATA</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Brown reflects my feelings pretty well &#8211; I&#8217;m in support of the supercity, think it&#8217;s the only way forward, but the structure leaves much to be desired, the fact that it will be FPP opens up problems in the future, and the simple fact that too much of it seems to be coming out of Wellington. As it stands, there is NOTHING stopping McCully and Hide getting together, building the $100m Queens Wharf option against the will of Aucklanders, and then sticking Auckland ratepayers with the bill.</p>
