The NZ, AUS & UK
run Pacific Leadership
programme
A 'groundbreaking' conference was held in March 2013
hosting Police officers from across the Pacific. 21 Pacific
Senior Police officers from 15 different South Pacific countries
attended a two week long course designed for future leaders in
the police force.
The course was designed to develop management skills and
provide the tools senior offices need in leadership roles. The
conference was run by two superintendents from British Police
College in Bramshill. Bramshill is world renown for their
specialty police leadership training and learning.
The stars have em'
More than 53,000 Kiwis left New Zealand for Australia in 2012.
Around 12 percent of all New Zealanders now live in Australia.
We take a look at the labour force and what skills are needed to
do well in our partnering country.
Skill level: Rise in employment in skilled occupations has increased.
The chance/likelihood of getting a job is higher if you have a
qualification.
Skills employees look for when recruiting:
• Communication skills
• Team work skills
• Problem-solving skills

• Self-management skills
• Learning skills
• Technology skills
Employers also value a range of personal attributes including:
loyalty, commitment, honesty and integrity, enthusiasm, reliability,
personal presentation, common sense, positive self-esteem, ability

Let bygones be bygones
The top 8 AUS vs NZ rivalries that we really should get over already
1. SPORTS
Rugby, netball, cricket, the
Olympics - we will always be
at war with our big brother,
Australia over just who is better
on the sport's pitch.
2. HEINZ
The company announced in 2011
it would relocate production of
beetroot, some sauces and some
canned products from Australia to
Hastings. Some argue the quality
went down with the move.
3. CHOCOLATE
Who's chocolate is better? The
jury is out. But relocated Kiwis
are continually requesting their
loved ones bring Cadbury treats
over when visiting.
4. Split Enz
Obviously a New Zealand band
but Australia tries to claim them
as their own too? And just because
they changed their name from
Split Ends to Split Enz when
touring down under.
