  NewLabour Party (New Zealand) Information
NewLabour was the name chosen by Jim Anderton, an MP and former President of the New Zealand Labour Party, for his new left-of-centre party in 1989.
NewLabour was established by a number of Labour Party members whom left the party in reaction to "Rogernomics", the economic policies implemented by the Labour Party's Minister of Finance, Roger Douglas, which saw the traditionally left-wing Labour Party swing heavily to the right.
By 2000, however, many felt that maintaining parallel NewLabour and Alliance structures was counter-productive, and at NewLabour's October conference, it was decided to completely assimilate the party into the larger Alliance structure, marking the end of NewLabour as an autonomous group.

 Blair's Third Way - NewLabour & the new misogyny
NewLabour’s second intervention was its response to the all-women short lists that were dramatically increasing at that time in what were then regarded as unwinable seats.
NewLabour’s discourse established itself as a new kind of social authoritarianism that in turn was important for the sense that the Labour Party this time was not going to ‘tax and spend’ and organise governmental priorities in the interests of the have-nots - most by then women who constituted the poorest portion of British society.
NewLabour’s law-and-order discourse asserts that parents are to blame for crime, by which they really mean that mothers are to blame, and really that single mothers are to blame for crime.

 New Zealand general election 1999   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The Labour Party, which had been in Opposition since losing the 1990 elections, presented a strong challenge, particularly due to its agreement with the smaller Alliance party.
NewLabour had been established by Jim Anderton, a former Labour MP who quit the party in protest over the economic reforms of Roger Douglas, which were often blamed for Labour's election loss in 1990.
Gradually, as the Labour Party withdrew from "Rogernomics", the Alliance (led by Anderton) reduced its hostility towards Labour, but it was not until shortly before the 1999 election that a formal understanding was reached regarding a possible left-wing coalition.

 Socialism Today - A left government in New Zealand?
NewLabour was created in 1989 when 5,000 Auckland workers led by union leader, Matt Macarten, and Labour MP, Jim Anderton, split from Labour in disgust at its neo-liberal policies.
At the time of the NewLabour split, socialists internationally looked with great interest at this development, hoping to see a similar process elsewhere and not ruling out the possibility of the creation of a new mass workers' party on a left programme in New Zealand.
NewLabour won control of Auckland city council and undertook a policy of cuts and counter-reforms.

 Green Left - NewLabour's plan to rebuild New Zealand
NewLabour has produced an alternative budget which it says could arrest the country's economic decline within a year.
At present, NewLabour says there are many indicators that the depression is still deepening: retailers have been forced to extend their mid-winter sales from weeks to months, investment is still declining, unemployment is still rising, building construction is declining while housing waiting lists are growing longer, and exports are declining.
NewLabour's strategy of “balanced development” would also involve restructuring the international debt, revaluation of the currency and a return to Reserve Bank control over the exchange rate, import controls including temporary control over luxury imports that don't add to productive capacity, and control of prices of essentials.

 where's me country?: 2005-05-08
Recently in G2 there was an article explaining the theory behind the newLabour obsession with choice and consumer power.
For newLabour the appeal is obvious, middle England would always have been best disposed to choice, they could afford private but wouldn’t automatically chose it if the public services were of good enough quality.
The current system embodies almost everything that newLabour sees as wrong in the provision of public services, namely that power lies in the institutions hands and very little weight is given to the voter’s voice.

 New Zealand Democratic Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Democrats, finding themselves increasingly pressured by the growth of NewLabour (founded by rebel Labour Party MP Jim Anderton) and the Greens, opted to increase cooperation with compatible parties.
This resulted in the Democrats joining NewLabour, the Greens, and Māori-based party Mana Motuhake in forming the Alliance, a broad left-wing coalition group.
By the 1999 Election the Democrats were one of only two remaining parties in the Alliance as the Greens left the grouping and the Liberals and NewLabour components formally dissolved, their members becoming members of the Alliance as a whole rather than of any specific constituent party.

 Mana Motuhake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mana Motuhake stood candidates in the 1981 elections, 1984 elections, 1987 elections, and 1990 elections, but was unsuccessful on each occasion.
In 1991, the party agreed to join forces with three other political parties (NewLabour Party, the Green Party, and the Democratic Party) to form a single group, known as the Alliance.
This decision was controversial, as a number of prominent figures in Mana Motuhake believed that by joining the party with non-Māori parties, even sympathetic ones, the party would no longer be free to speak up for Maori.
