80-474: A caretaker or ranger resident on the island. In 2011 the crown settled treaty claims with local iwi, Hauturu was returned to iwi who in turn gifted it back to the people of Aotearoa. Access is heavily restricted for conservation reasons, and the island is uninhabited except for rotational conservation staff, scientists and rangers under the authority of the Department of Conservation . Electricity for their needs

120-526: A decline in population, being pushed towards endangerment or extinction. In a survey of studies about eradicating the cats, scientist C.R. ("Dick") Veitch mentions several small species which were likely affected by the cats, including small reptiles and birds, such as the North Island snipe ( Coenocorypha barrierensis ), which only survived into the European era on this island and was formerly distributed across

160-475: A few Ngāti Wai were still living there and the British Crown attempted to buy the island in order to turn it into a nature reserve. After the purchase fell through, the island was instead appropriated through an Act of Parliament in 1894 and became New Zealand's first nature reserve the following year. Maori such as Rahui Te Kiri were evicted from the island by force in 1896. Since 1897, there has always been

200-401: A number of stages before it can become law. In theory, this allows the bill's provisions to be debated in detail, and for amendments to the original bill to also be introduced, debated, and agreed to.

Significant amendments may be made at the committee stage. In some cases, whole groups of clauses are inserted or removed. However, if the Government holds a majority, almost all

280-479: A southern right whale may have calved near the island. The island is home to two endemic insect species, the ground beetle Mecodema haunoho , and Deinacrida heteracantha , also known as the Little Barrier giant wētā. Kākāpō (night parrots), also critically endangered, were first translocated to Little Barrier Island/Hauturu in 1982. Kākāpō successfully bred on the island in the 1980's and 1990's with

320-572: A specific chamber. For example, bills imposing a tax , or involving public expenditure , are introduced into the House of Commons in the United Kingdom, Canada's House of Commons , Lok Sabha of India and Ireland's Dáil as a matter of law. Conversely, bills proposed by the Law Commission and consolidation bills traditionally start in the House of Lords . Once introduced, a bill must go through

360-597: A vast coastal plain where the Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana exists today. Sea levels began to rise 7,000 years ago, after which Little Barrier became an island separated from the rest of New Zealand. During the glacial period, a river formed by the Mahurangi River and Waitematā Harbour river flowed between Little Barrier Island and Great Barrier Island . A dense forest cover shelters numerous rare or endangered animal species. The total number of species of native plants

400-515: Is Te Hauturu-o-Toi ), lies off the northeastern coast of New Zealand 's North Island . Located 80 kilometres (50 mi) to the north of Auckland , the island is separated from the mainland to the west by the Jellicoe Channel , and from the larger Great Barrier Island to the east by the Cradock Channel . The two aptly named islands shelter the Hauraki Gulf from many of the storms of

440-485: Is a large predator free island, there is great potential for the kākāpō in the long term. The Polynesian rat or kiore ( Rattus exulans ) were likely introduced as invasive species during the initial settlement of the island by Māori. Rat eradication took place by aerial-dropped poison baits in 2004. Feral cats arrived on the island in the early 1870s. As in other places where predatory species were introduced, small animals not accustomed to predation likely experienced

This will usually happen following the publication of a " white paper ", setting out the issues and the way in which

520-589: Is presented to the Governor General , who gives it royal assent . Although the Governor General can refuse to assent a bill, this power has never been exercised. Bills being reviewed by Parliament are assigned numbers: 2 to 200 for government bills, 201 to 1000 for private member's bills , and 1001 up for private bills .

Te Titoki Point is the only area of flat land on the island. Approximately 18,000 years ago during the Last Glacial Maximum when sea levels were over 100 metres lower than present day levels, Little Barrier Island was landlocked to the North Island, surrounded by

600-472: Is thought to range around 400, and the island may shelter more endangered birds than any other island in New Zealand. The island has been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International because it is a nesting site for vulnerable Cook's and Parkinson's petrels . In February 2013, there were reports of the critically endangered New Zealand storm petrel ( Oceanites maorianus ) breeding on

640-618: The Pacific Ocean . Settled by the Māori between 1350 and 1650, the island was occupied by them until the New Zealand government declared the island a wildlife sanctuary in 1897. Since the island came under control of the government, it has been under limited access, with only a few rangers living on the island. In the Māori language , the name of the island name means "the resting place of lingering breezes". Along with its larger neighbour Great Barrier, it

680-471: The coastal flats at Te Titoki Point. Man-made cuttings, which were described in 1895 as ruts for hauling canoes , can be seen on the boulder beach ridge at Te Titoki Point. There are also stone rows measuring up to 60 metres (200 ft) long, 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) wide and 0.5 metres (1 ft 8 in) high, located near the mouth of Te Waikohare Stream. Stone rows and heaps can be found 200 metres (660 ft) to 500 metres (1,600 ft) from

The debate on each stage is actually debate on a specific motion. For the first reading, there is no debate. For the second reading,

840-423: The calendar year, with the first act passed being chapter 1, and so on. In the United Kingdom, legislation has referenced by year and chapter number since 1963 ( Acts of Parliament Numbering and Citation Act 1962 ). Each act is numbered consecutively based on the date it received royal assent, for example the 43rd act passed in 1980 would be 1980 chapter 43. The full reference includes the (short) title and would be

880-467: The entirety of the North Island, North Island saddleback ( Philesturnus rufusater ), grey-faced petrel ( Pterodroma macroptera gouldi ), Cook's petrel ( Pterodroma cookii ) and black petrel ( Proeellaria parkinsoni ). Cat eradication was completed by a dedicated team from July 1977 to 23 June 1980, and 151 cats were killed using traps and poison. Introduced wasps such as ( German , Common , Asian Paper , and Tasmanian paper wasps ) may be present on

920-468: The following stages: There are special procedures for emergency bills, member's bills (similar to private member's bills in the UK Parliament), committee bills, and private bills.

960-441: The island. When Māori occupied the island, as much as a third of the island was cleared of forest. However, since the acquisition of the land by the New Zealand government, all but 20 hectares of the island have been reforested. Bryde's whales , orcas and bottlenose dolphins live in the waters around the island. Blue whales and southern right whales rest in this area during migration. In 2012, there were reports that

1000-508: The island. In terms of established populations of introduced wasps a survey reported in 2020 no Vespula species (Common and German wasps) but Polistes species (Asian Paper and Tasmanian wasps) were present. German wasps had been reported on the island by the 1980s. A potential relationship between rat eradication and decline in Vespula species has been reported, but no such link was found in later work. Prior to 1995, very little attention

1040-519: The latest 1.2 million years ago. The volcano is most closely related to two volcanoes over 120 km (75 mi) northwest, near Whangārei . The volcanic activity on the island is associated with the Coromandel Volcanic Zone, which later moved southwards to form the modern Taupō Volcanic Zone . The island was one of the final volcanic events in the zone, as most volcanism in the zone occurred between 18 and 4 million years ago. The island

1080-550: The motion is "That this bill be now read a second time and be referred to [name of committee]" and for third reading "That this bill be now read a third time and pass."

In the Report stage, the debate is on the motions for specific amendments. Once a bill has passed both Houses in an identical form, it

1120-482: The mouths of Te Waikohare and Tirikawa Streams. The largest is 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) high and 4 metres (13 ft) wide. The most extensive stonework is located in the northwest of the island, near the ridge south of Te Hue Stream, where it is spread over several hectares. This site includes a number of terraces , which are stone-faced or have stone retaining walls. There are also numerous stone heaps and rows, and several free standing stone walls. Stonework in

1160-441: The northeast of the island is more weathered than in other areas and partially buried. Because of this weathering these features are thought to be older than at the other sites. The island is an extinct andesitic stratovolcano , roughly circular in shape, about 6 km (3.7 mi) across, with an area of 28 km (11 sq mi). Its earliest volcanic activity is estimated to have occurred 3 million years ago and

1200-426: The parliamentary session in which they were passed, with each individual act being identified by year and chapter number. Descriptive titles began to be added to the enrolled acts by the official clerks, as a reference aid; over time, titles came to be included within the text of each bill.

1360-469: The sometimes lengthy main titles. The Short Titles Act 1892 , and its replacement the Short Titles Act 1896 , gave short titles to many acts which previously lacked them. The numerical citation of acts has also changed over time. The original method was based on the regnal year (or years) in which the relevant parliamentary session met. This has been replaced in most territories by simple reference to

1400-416: The support of supplementary food. All birds were later removed in 1999, so that kiore (Polynesian rats) could be eradicated from the island using poison bait. Kākāpō were then (re)introduced to the island in 2012; as of July 2017, their population on the island stood at 14. Hauturu is a testing site to see if the kākāpō can breed and raise their young successfully without human intervention. As Hauturu

1480-524: Was given its English name by Captain James Cook in 1769. The island is a nature sanctuary which has been described by the MBIE as "the most intact [native] ecosystem in New Zealand". However, several invasive species were introduced by both Maori and European settlers, including cats, which were destructive to local small bird and reptile species until they were eradicated between July 1977 and June 1980 in what

1520-554: Was paid to weed species on the island. The rangers' garden had been planted in exotics, and bird and wind dispersed colonising species that spread rapidly. In 1996 a weed control programme, based on the successful work on the Kermadecs , was implemented with teams of weeders grid-searching the island. The main target species were climbing asparagus , the Mexican devil , and the mist flower . Act of Parliament A draft act of parliament

1560-441: Was possibly New Zealand's costliest pest control programme. This was followed by a rat eradication programme from 2004. A cost benefit analysis has been published. Māori occupied the island for centuries prior to the first European visits, probably first settling there between 1350 and 1650 CE. The initial occupation was by descendants of Toi te Huatahi , followed by Tainui , who were then conquered by Ngāti Wai . By 1881 only

1600-399: Was provided by a diesel generator linked to a battery bank until 2005, and has since been replaced by twenty 175-watt solar panels, with the generator remaining solely for backup. Over the expected 20-year life-span, the new system is expected to generate fuel savings sufficient to replace its purchase costs. Māori stonework has been found in fourteen locations on the island, primarily around
