“…36 Then, under the succeeding coalition government, a House of Commons Committee in 2014 published a report on Roles and Powers of the Prime Minister which like the previous reports 'argued for more powers to be placed on a statutory footing, with parliamentary approval.' 37 With respect to ratification of treaties and regulation of the civil service, prerogative powers were supplanted by the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010. For the rest of the ancient, ambiguous and significant executive powers of the Crown wielded by prime ministers and ministers -they remain intact in the United Kingdom.…”

In Canada, Australia and New Zealand -all of whom were once loyal dominions in an indivisible British Empire -what might be the chances of successful moves to ditch archaic feudal symbols and create new republican institutions and symbols as this 21 st century unfolds? When the Crown research project began I thought New Zealand would not be at the forefront of constitutional change towards a republican constitution. This paper identifies some of the reasons for that view, including the special relationships between Māori and the Crown. It identifies the significant legal and political difficulties facing those seeking to achieve constitutional reform on the Queen's position as the head of state in either Australia or Canada. It concludes, therefore, that New Zealand could be at the forefront of Commonwealth post-colonial settler states transitioning to a new constitutional order. The paper also argues for the importance of abolishing royal prerogative powers, and better defining government's accountability for exercises of state power, even if moves towards a republic are not imminent.

This paper describes a systematic methodology to estimate allowable limits for rail head wear in terms of vertical head-height loss, gage-face side wear, and/or the combination of the two. This methodology is based on the principles of engineering fracture mechanics.The concept of applying the principles of engineering fracture mechanics to examine structural integrity was originally introduced by the U.S. Air Force, and is now embraced by the commercial aircraft industry. Aircraft structures are based on fracture mechanics (also referred to as damage tolerance) principles. Moreover, the approach in conducting rail integrity research sponsored by the Government is based on damage tolerance principles.The fracture mechanics methodology to estimate rail head wear limits is based on various assumptions regarding operational and environmental factors. These factors include rail size, foundation modulus, temperature difference, train speed, and rail test interval (i.e. tonnage between rail tests).This paper describes the methodology based on engineering fracture mechanics to estimate rail wear limits. In addition, results and sensitivity studies from applying the methodology are presented.
