    Extractions: In early 1840, Captain William Hobson, RN, the first Governor of New Zealand, extended British laws to New Zealand. This meant that certain sections of the Imperial Coinage Act, 1816 (UK) became relevant to the new colony. This allowed for the standard gold, silver and bronze British coins to circulate freely in New Zealand alongside the existing variety of foreign coins. British coins were made legal tender in terms of the above act by the passing of the English Laws Act in 1858. In the 1840s and 1850s there was an extreme shortage of coins, especially copper coins. Traders tried the issue of low value paper notes to remedy this situation but this was soon abandoned. Instead, as this shortage intensified throughout the 1850s, businesses in Auckland and Dunedin decided to issue their first copper tokens in 1857. In all, 48 traders (mostly retailers) issued their own penny and half-penny tokens. This practice survived until 1881 with their use gradually declining in the 1880s. In 1897, New Zealand's currency became subject to certain provisions stated in the Imperial Coinage Act, 1870 (UK). This meant that only British coin became the official legal tender coin of the colony. At that time, it was already one of the two `common' currencies, along with Australian minted gold sovereign and half sovereign coins.

    http://www.rbnz.govt.nz/currency/money/0094089.html
    
    Extractions: In 1934, the Reserve Bank became the only bank in New Zealand that was legally able to produce bank notes. The first bank note was introduced on 1st August 1934, and signed by the first Governor of the Reserve Bank, Leslie Lefeaux. Like the coins, New Zealand bank notes depicted features of national character. Objects on the notes were: a kiwi, the Arms of New Zealand, a vignette of Mitre Peak and a scenic feature of Milford Sound. The first series also included the portrait of the Maori King Tawhiao. Under his direction, the Bank of Aotearoa (the history of which is shrouded in mystery) issued a bank note in the 1880s printed in Maori. The colours of the original bank notes were similar to the "uniform" notes of the trading banks issued from 1924 onwards. All the notes carried the same design, but different colours distinguished denominations. Notes of 10/- (ten shillings), £1 (one pound), £5 and £50 were issued, coloured orange, mauve, blue-green and red respectively. The bank notes were also of the same size (7" x 3½"). The Second Issue

68. A History Of New Zealand (Keith Sinclair) - Review
    A history of new zealand. Keith Sinclair. Penguin 2000 T A history of new zealand %A Sinclair, Keith %I Penguin %D 2000 %O paperback.  
    http://dannyreviews.com/h/New_Zealand.html
    
    Extractions: Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest Penguin 2000 Amazon A book review by Danny Yee It is easy to see why Sinclair's history, first published in 1959, has survived to five editions, the last one posthumous. Though scholarly (Sinclair was a distinguished academic), it is nevertheless lively and readable; and while sometimes idiosyncratic it is also broadly embracing. I found A History of New Zealand while looking for a general history to read while travelling around New Zealand, and it fitted the bill perfectly. A History of New Zealand This summary, however, exaggerates Sinclair's focus on economic and political history. He touches throughout on broader topics, such as the social backgrounds of settlers, the development of a distinctive New Zealand dialect, and (in an epilogue) "the search for national identity". There are vivid biographical portraits: quite detailed ones of politicians such as Grey and Seddon and just a telling sentence or two about others. G.W. Forbes, for example, was "New Zealand's most improbable premier" and "a good honest man whose political merits will doubtless, one day, be uncovered by some dogged researcher". And Sinclair, who was a poet as well as a historian, finds room for regular brief overviews of New Zealand literature and art. Obviously there's much that isn't covered I would have liked something about the rise of the environmental movement (only Lange's nuclear-free policy is covered) and the increasing economic importance of tourism but there's plenty to whet the appetite and five pages of "suggested reading" notes to help one satisfy it.

    Extractions: NEW ZEALAND A Brief History New Zealand Aotearoa 's ("land of the long white cloud") indigenous Polynesian people, or its tangata whenua (people of the land), were the first occupants of the islands. They arrived in waka (sea-going canoe) about 1000 years ago from a mythical homeland Haiwaiki , most likely Tahiti, the Cook Islands and possibly Samoa. They named their new home Aotearoa The tangata whenua were defined wholly though their iwi (tribe) affiliations or whakapapa (genealogy). With the arrival of European explorers and settlers, the indigenous term Maori , meaning ordinary or common, came to be used as a pan-tribal term. Maori in turn described Europeans as pakeha (strangers), a term that many of settler descent have adopted. Treaty of Waitangi In 1840 the British attempted to enter into a treaty, known as the Treaty of Waitangi, with the various iwi . The Treaty was signed by some rangatira (chiefs) but by no means all. There were also two versions, one in English and one in Maori. Rangatira signed the Maori version of the Treaty which differed in significant ways from the English version. In the Maori version of the Treaty, rangatira gave the right of governance to the British Queen while retaining sovereignty or rangatiratanga , especially over land. In the English version, Maori gave absolute sovereignty to the British Queen, that is, the right to total control of the country. Ever since 1840 the Treaty has been the subject of intense debate about its meanings and importance to New Zealand and relations between Maori and the New Zealand government.

Over Six Thousand Monasteries, Temples and Historical Structures looted and destroyed. Tibet's ecosystem has been severely damaged: vast tracts of forest have been denuded, wildlife species decimated. Tibet's substantial mineral resources have been plundered. One quarter of China's nuclear missiles are stationed in Tibet. China is using Tibet as a dumping ground for nuclear waste . Some three hundred thousand Chinese troops are based in Tibet. 7.5 million Chinese colonialists have been shifted into Tibet in a move to dominate the Tibetans. A secret Chinese document in 1992 revealed plans to swamp the Tibetan population with even more Chinese.
