	New Zealand/Aotearoa: Opposition National party leads polls against Labour government
		As for Brash’s opposition to “race-based” funding in areas such as education, this is purely a cynical vote-catching ploy (just like his promised tax cuts for low and middle income earners).
		A similar result would be obtained if the ethnic weighting for funding the new Primary Health Organisations were removed, because there is such a high incidence of poverty among Maori (who have a life expectancy on average 8-9 years shorter than that of NZ Europeans).
		The attitude of the new Maori class of “corporate warriors” was summed up by Te Maire Tau, one of the senior advisors on the board of the South Island iwi Ngai Tahu, in a recent interview published in the NZ Listener.

	The Methodist Church of New Zealand - (Practical Dreamers Drop-In Centre)
		To understand where Methodism in New Zealand is heading as it approaches the year 2000 it is essential that some account be taken of its beginnings and of its journey so far.
		The Methodists who started to come to New Zealand in larger numbers in the 1870's in particular were often from the rural areas where Methodism had once been strong.
		It would be difficult to show that women within New Zealand Methodism are in any way disadvantaged in respect to their participation in the ordering and governance of the Church though, in truth, it is sometimes necessary to remind committees and boards of the need to look at gender balance more carefully.

		The new Government quickly reversed the Labour government's policy on visiting warships but continued to express strong opposition to French nuclear tests in the South Pacific (politically essential after the Rainbow Warrior affair in which French military personnel bombed the Greenpeace vessel of the same name, killing one person).
		Following a sharp recession in the early 1990s, the economy had recovered sufficiently by October 1993, when the next general election fell due, for the National Party to be returned to office with a narrow majority.
		The outcome was striking for a remarkable increase in the number of Maori MPs – from 6 to 15 – which came close to giving them a representation proportional to their presence in the community as a whole.
