The PANZ Council are in discussions to develop a population-related seminar or workshop this year, probably to be held in Auckland. We will keep you posted.

Further afield, the Australian Population Association will hold its biennial conference in the Gold Coast, Queensland from 30 November to 2 December 2010. It is anticipated that a strong PANZ contingency will be in attendance at the conference delivering papers, networking and concreting trans-Tasman relations.

The latest New Zealand Population Review has been released (Volumes 33 and 34). The Review includes nine peer-reviewed articles covering a wide range of topics, including changing immigration patterns, Maori in Australia, Pacific Islands population, and aspects of immigration policy. It is also our pleasure to publish an article titled ‘Attachment to Place in New Zealand’ by Catherine Schroder, winner of the 2007 PANZ Jacoby prize.

The 2009 PANZ conference was held on Monday 31 August and Tuesday 1 September 2009 at the Wellington Convention Centre. It was attended by over 140 people and over 50 papers were presented across a range of topics. Many thanks to those who worked behind the scenes for months organising the conference and to all those who presented and attended.
