Insight for 17 May 2015 - Promises of the Northland By-election
BODY:
Lois Williams explores what Northland expects after electing Winston Peters as its MP.
EXTENDED BODY:
Seven weeks after Winston Peters swept to victory in the Northland by-election, voters in his electorate are waiting to see what he can do for them.
Insight examines the reasons for the win and asks what Northland stands to gain by turning maverick.

Winston Peters' campaign team in Northland. Photo: Lois Williams.
It was the campaign that had it all.
There was the hapless political novice in shirt sleeves, expecting a walk-in.
There was the fashionably late entrance of the wily old campaigner, immaculately suited, delivering master classes in heckler management to cheering crowds from Kaitaia to Wellsford.
There was the big blue bus, blaring his theme song, 'Hang on, help is on the way!', rocking up to every hamlet in Northland to sign up startled new voters .
And there was a spooked National Party, digging deep in the lolly jar to placate voters who didn't realise quite how disgruntled they were until Winston Peters invited them to send the government a message.
It was all vastly entertaining.
But the New Zealand First leader successfully mined a subterranean vein of frustration in Northland that had been pulsing forever, and became more obvious last winter when storms wrecked highways and virtually cut the region off from the rest of New Zealand for nearly a week.
In the general election, when regional issues were sidelined by the focus on Dirty Politics and David Cunliffe, those same voters returned National's Mike Sabin with a majority of 8000.
In the March by-election, forced by Mr Sabin's sudden resignation in late January, the spotlight on Northland brought those grievances into sharp relief - and the electorate dumped National for the first time since 1972.
Looking back, seven weeks later, political commentator Colin James said it was often the way with by-elections.
"In 1969, the National Party had squeezed back into office, and Tom Shand, a very senior minister of high-standing, and quite a charismatic man, died.
"They had a by-election, and it was a safe National seat but Labour won it. And the National vote dropped by almost exactly the same percentage as it did in the Northland by-election."
Mr James said Social Credit's Bruce Beetham won the Rangitikei seat in a similar way in 1978, when there was quite a bit of disgruntlement with the Muldoon government .
"Winston Peters was very credible in Northland. He comes from Northland; he had sought the National Party nomination there years ago, he is ex-National - so he was coming home and I think that was recognised. And also, National will say they didn't pick the best candidate."
The reasons Northland voters backed Mr Peters varied from town to town but they all hoped he would get them noticed.

The Northland electorate is vast, stretching from Cape Reinga in the north to Wellsford in the south, but skirting around the electorate of Whangarei.
It is a mix of rich and poor, largely rural with a number of service towns, and there is a sharp contrast between the wealthier east coast, with its tourist magnets like the Bay of Islands, and places like Moerewa, Kaitaia and Kaikohe, where unemployment rates can be many times the national average.
Given the demographics, it is surprising that the vote is not more evenly split between National and Labour.
But more than 11,000 Northland residents are on the Maori roll. They vote in the Tai Tokerau electorate, which returned Labour's Kelvin Davis in the general election.
And a key factor in Mr Peters' victory was the decision of Labour voters, with the blessing of the party and local unions, to vote strategically for him, as the candidate with the best chance of taking the seat from National.
Labour candidate Willow-Jean Prime stripped 2000 votes from Mr Sabin's majority in September; in the by-election her vote slumped from 9000 to just 1300.
Locals speak their minds
The reasons Northland voters backed Mr Peters varied from town to town, but they all hoped he would get them noticed, after years of feeling unappreciated by successive governments.

Retired Dargaville dairy farmer Len Lulich has been a National Party member and official all his adult life. He said he and other true-blue Nats of his generation voted for Mr Peters because they were angry at the way National handled Mr Sabin's resignation, and felt they had been misled by the party.
Mr Lulich said National was straying too far from its rural roots, and he was not impressed with the party's candidate, Far North council manager Mark Osborne.
In the south of the electorate, Wellsford farmer Brian Mason said people were angry they had been forced into the new Auckland council boundaries and they were hoping Mr Peters would help them escape.
Rod Brown, from lobby group Vision Kerikeri, said the big issue in the mid-north was the state of the roads and the fragility of the region's links to the rest of the country, revealed by last winter's big storm.
The government already spends more than $200 million a year on Northland roads, but locals suspect this is either not enough or is being spent in the wrong places.
Mr Brown said in July last year the Far North was isolated for days on end.
"We were completely cut off, " he said. "If that storm was a single and rare event in the past, they're likely to be more frequent in future, with climate change. We feel very isolated.
"Most of the region's roading money is being allocated to roads between Whangarei and Auckland, and we need a more resilient roading network throughout the region."
In Dargaville, Andrew Wade worried about who will buy his concrete business when he retired. He said the town's young people were leaving; services like the town's maternity ward were run down, then closed, and there was a general feeling of neglect by governments.
He said it was as if no-one cared about rural New Zealand these days.
"And a by-election doesn't alter the government," Mr Wade said. "It maybe gives it a wake-up call, and makes it think again about what it's doing for the regions."
Mr Wade said National's hasty by-election offer of 10 new bridges for Northland didn't impress him either.
"It's as if they thought they could just come up and have a lolly scramble and walk away with the seat tucked away then disappear again. Who knows? It might be better if it became a marginal seat," he said.
In Kaitaia, leading retailer and farmer Ian Walker hoped Mr Peters' win would make the government think more carefully about the impact of its policies on the regions and especially on businesses.
He said the recent decision by Work and Income to deal directly with Fisher and Paykel when beneficiaries borrow to buy whiteware is a case in point.
In the past, local retailers have supplied the fridges or washing machines to beneficiary households.
"This new policy may be saving the taxpayers money, " Mr Walker said.
"But it's costing them in other ways. It took $100,000 from my turnover, and I can handle that. But it's money stripped out of the regional economy and at least one business is on the brink of closure as a result, in Kaikohe.
"At the same time Work and Income is knocking our doors, asking us to employ people."
Potential upset in rural New Zealand
Mr James said his analysis of the polls since the Northland by-election showed no significant change in National's popularity around the rest of the country.
But he said that was not something the government should feel relaxed about.
"I do think there is developing a feeling in places other than Auckland and Wellington that those cities are getting the goods, and they aren't.
"If that feeling's going to be expressed politically it needs a vehicle, and Winston Peters was a vehicle."
Mr James said at the moment there wasn't really such a vehicle nationwide.
"But that's not to say one won't emerge," he said. "Winston Peters might be able to pump New Zealand First up into one. The National Party would be unwise to think that the Northland by-election doesn't mean there's no upset in the provinces and rural areas. I think there is."
"This campaign wasn't just for Northland. It was for the provinces of New Zealand who create the wealth and yet they're all forgotten." - Winston Peters

As for Northland's new MP - Mr Peters said he would be the voice for an electorate whose MPs have been silent in the past about too many of its problems, and that he was now in campaign mode for the regions.
"This campaign wasn't just for Northland," he said. "It was for the provinces of New Zealand who create the wealth and yet they're all forgotten.

"We believe we're already the third-strongest party in the country in terms of popular support. We intend to be in government at the next election, and people have said to me, 'oh, I hope you'll go with National'. But we will go with the party that will tackle the long-standing problems of the regions and rural areas."
Mr Peters is planning to open electorate offices in Wellsford, Dargaville and Kerikeri, and build on the support shown in the by-election.
But Mr Walker said Mr Peters' most important achievement for Northland was getting elected in the first place.
"Whether Winston actually achieves something doesn't matter," he said. "It's really saying: 'we're here - and we need something to happen'."

EXTENDED BODY:

Benmore Dam - looking over penstocks towards Lake Laird.
Power for the People. The Benmore dam lifted the country’s electricity generation by a quarter.

In Spectrum this week Jerome Cvitanovich is in Otematata to meet the Meridian staff who keep the Benmore dam operating and meet the men, women and children who moved to the village 50 years ago to be part of its construction.
These days the old construction village of Otematata, a few kilometres from Lake Benmore, is a sleepy settlement of 180 people that sits on State Highway 83 between Oamaru and Omarama. But 50 years ago the town was home to well over 4000 people. It had a bustling shopping centre, a large pub, numerous clubs, a hall, a primary and secondary school, and even a cinema.
In the late 1950s all manner of engineers, builders, electrical workers, concrete gangers, truck drivers and support staff had come to the North Otago township to be part of a workforce to build the Benmore Dam - the biggest earth filled dam in the land – and its aim was to boost the country’s economy in an era of rapid economic and population growth.
The dam marked a high point in New Zealand’s golden age of hydro power development.

It lifted the country’s electricity generation by a quarter.

90-year-old George Welch came to Otematata in 1958 to work on the diversion tunnels. He lived in the single men’s quarters in the town.
The projected also created a new lake – Benmore, stretching nearly one and half times the size of Wellington Harbour and covering 12,000 hectares of tussock. Fifty years have passed since the dam was officially opened by Prime Minister Sir Keith Holyoake on May 15, 1965.

Benmore Dam Spillway.
The history of the dam construction goes back over 60 years. As early as 1948 surveyors started combing the Waitaki River plain taking samples of the rock, looking for a site to build a dam. The plan to build the Benmore power station was approved in 1957. Work began on a camp to house the workers and early in 1958 the first group of about 150 men arrived to begin work.
By August 1958 the first shopkeepers opened their stores to cater for the growing population. By the end of the year, there were over 450 workers living and working in Otematata. With them came their wives and children.
After the dam was completed the village was slowly dismantled. Many of the houses that had been trucked in from Roxborough to build the construction village – were loaded on trucks again and moved to the next site in Twizel.

Vicky Munro was a child when her father came to Otematata to begin work at the Benmore Dam site. She attended the local school, went roller skating in the town hall, played around the lake. Once the dam was finished, she stayed on and married a local farmer.

But that's all changed and as part of Plzen's year as Europe's Capital of Culture, New Zealand has loaned out many of its valuable Lindauer paintings.

Nigel Scott - master sound designer: emotion vs. information
BODY:
Sound is emotional, images are informational, or so goes the old saying. And when you combine the two in a well-made feature film, you can make an audience laugh or cry. But is that appropriate or even ethical when making documentaries? Nigel Scott is a master sound designer for both film and theatre and will be part of a panel on sound for documentary film makers at the Screen Edge Forum later this month. Justin Gregory asked him where he stood on the emotional/informational argument.

12:42 Gottfried Lindauer in the Czech Republic
Nineteenth-century New Zealand painter; Gottfried Lindauer’s hometown in the Czech Republic has started taking an interest in him. Plzeň in the Czech Republic had all but forgotten Lindauer who immigrated to New Zealand where he painted hundreds of portraits, mainly of Maori tribal leaders and well-known figures. But that's all changed and as part of Plzeň's year as Europe's Capital of Culture, New Zealand has loaned out many of its valuable Lindauer paintings. Auckland Art Gallery's director Rhana Devenport went to what she describes as a very moving opening ceremony in Plzeň and spoke to Lynn Freeman at the Venice Biennale about the exhibition and new research on Lindauer.

12:49 Zombies on demand
Film distributors are always hoping for the most successful strategy out of their releases possible. A well-planned roll out tied with savvy marketing will in an ideal world lead to people sitting down for a couple of hours and watching those flickering images go by. With only so many cinema screens and people wanting to stay at home and have access to the entire history of film at the click of the button release strategies have dramatically changed. Guy Pigden is the writer and director of the subtly titled I Survived a Zombie Holocaust which ups the ante on release platforms by coming out the same day on iTunes, tugg.co.nz, DVD, Quickflix, the film commission’s New Zealand Film On Demand website, and also rather quaintly; cinemas.

1:10 At The Movies
Simon Morris looks at movies aimed at the youth audience, including Australian feelgood flick Paper Planes; the sequel to the popular acapella movie Pitch Perfect and he talks to Charlie Lyne, an English documentary maker, who’s made a film about the high school movies of the 1990s and 2000s. It’s called Beyond Clueless.
1:34 Nigel Scott – master sound designer: emotion vs information
Sound is emotional, images are informational, or so goes the old saying. And when you combine the two in a well-made feature film, you can make an audience laugh or cry. But is that appropriate or even ethical when making documentaries? Nigel Scott is a master sound designer for both film and theatre and will be part of a panel on sound for documentary film makers at the Screen Edge Forum later this month. Justin Gregory asked him where he stood on the emotional/informational argument.

2:05 The Laugh Track – The Thrilling Adventure Hour
The so-called Golden Age of American radio, also known as old-time radio, was full of dramatic serials performed in front of live audiences gripped by daring deeds of spies and spacemen, the relatability of wholesome family tales, and utter blindness to the weirdness of having blackface and ventriloquism on the radio. For many it's an era stepped in nostalgia for days gone by. The Thrilling Adventure Hour is a podcast that taps into the ascetics of that era and with the help of lead actors Marc Evan Jackson and Paul F. Tompkins play it for laughs. The live stage show is coming to Wellington and Auckland.

Spiritual Outlook for 17 May 2015 - Creating Welcoming Churches
BODY:
Creating Welcoming Churches is a disability resource for faith communities promoting the greater inclusion of Disabled worshippers. Mike Gourley attended one of the launch celebration services and canvassed opinions on the booklet.
EXTENDED BODY:

Reverend Vicki Terrell at her ordination at Auckland Anglican Cathedral, November 2008, with friends (from left) Carolyn Wadsworth, Robyn Hunt, Wendi Wicks, and Pam Cook.
Creating Welcoming Churches is a disability resource for faith communities promoting the greater inclusion of Disabled worshippers.
It was produced by the Disability, Spirituality and Faith Network Aotearoa/New Zealand as a guide on how to make church environments more accessible to all people – including people living with disability.
Mike Gourley attended one of the launch celebration services and canvassed opinions on the booklet.
Reverend Vicki Terrell was ordained an Anglican Priest in November 2008. But her journey wasn’t easy. Vicki has lived with cerebral palsy since birth. And she’s the first to admit that the condition has affected her speech, a circumstance that made the powers that be concerned she wouldn’t be able to hold her own in a Parish.
But Vicki and her friends thought outside the square, and came up with innovative ways to ensure she could lead a congregation in worship. They included use of written text, Powerpoint presentation.
When it came to her ordination, once again her speech impediment looked becoming a barrier, but in the end, Vicki Terrell perservered, and with the help of a friend, completed the process successfully.
Vicki’s experience, and her expertise in advising on institutional policy and practice concerning disability issues, made her an obvious choice for the role of Researcher and Writer in the preparation of a Disability Resource for Faith communities, entitled ‘Creating Welcoming Churches’. The publication, launched last year, is the combined effort of Vicki and other members of the Disability, Spirituality and Faith Network of Aotearoa New Zealand: desktop publishing and production was by Trish Harris, and the Network’s Think Tank for the project comprised, Gillian Bell, Pamela Cook, Peter Cowley, Rosalie Sugrue, Rhonda Swenson, and Carolyn Wadsworth.
The publication is filled with helpful hints and advice around supporting Deaf and hearing impaired parishioners, people with mental health issues and physical impairments, everything from where to store a walking frame, or instal an unobtrusive bannisters! As well, there is a smattering of personal stories, where people have encountered positive or negative comments, or attitudes that are inclusive of or welcoming of Disabled parishioners.
Dave Muskovitz is the Jewish co-chair of the Wellington Council of Christians and Jews. His response to the publication is generally positive, but wonders whether its clearly Church centredness might make it difficult to translate across other non- Christian faiths. And although, with a relatively small community of practising Jews in New Zealand, a distinctly Judaistic theology of Disability has not emerged here to match the theology outlined in the publication, Dave Moskovitz believes that as Judaism posits that all humans possess the divine spark of God within them, there is a likely basis for the principle of inclusion.

Skin Writing Series one - Episodes 1 and 2
BODY:
Matt and Niwa, Aroha Mai Aroha Atu are the first two episodes from the Skin Writing series produced in 2008. The radio drama tells the story of work and life based on its central characters who work at a Taa Moko Studio.
EXTENDED BODY:

Skin Writing is a radio drama series developed by the Radio New Zealand Drama team to encourage more māori writers to write for radio drama. What eventuated was a serial drama set in The Underworld, a Taa Moko studio run by Pushy Te Aratapu (played by Jim Moriarty) and his daughter Niwa (played by Olivia Robinson).
Matt Tewano (played by Taungaroa Emile) is an emerging Taa Moko Artist and is guided by Pushy to learn more about Taa Moko and it's associated Tikanga. The series follows the conflicts and the resolution of the central characters. The series is the brain-child of actor Jason Te Kare who is currently working on series three of Skin Writing.
Te Ahi Kaa features the first two episodes from series one Matt and Niwa and Aroha Mai, Aroha Atu written by Briar Grace-Smith nō Ngāti Hau.
If I was going to do a story about Taa Moko I thought that I'd need to understand the history of it, especially from a māori perspective so I went back to the Mataora and Niwareka myth and the way it was brought back from the underworld to Te Ao Mārama, and then gifted to humans...it made sense as a Māori to use these characters in this new telling about the use of Taa Moko.

Jason Te Kare - Skin Writing concept
BODY:
Skin Writing was developed to encourage more Māori writers to give writing for radio a go. It could have been a radio drama series set in a taxi, but when the concept of a Taa Moko studio came about somewhat unexpectedly, Jason hit the ground running. The first authors to pen the first few episodes were Briar Grace-Smith and Albert Belz. Jason researched Māori pūrakau (stories) of Mataora and Niwareka to form the characters in the story. He discusses the concept with Justine Murray.
EXTENDED BODY:
Producer Jason Te Kare decided to begin the series with established māori writers Briar Grace-Smith and Albert Belz. The Cast is Taungaroa Emile, Olivia Robinson, Jim Moriarty, Grant Roa and Apirana Taylor.
We recorded alot of that first series in Taungaroa's house in Paekakariki when he lived there, and everyday the crew and the other actors would arrive.....Taungaroa would have breakfast ready to go and lunch ready for later in the day, it was that real Māori manaaki way, he really hosted us, it was lovely, he has that Māori kaupapa at heart. Jim Moriarty's knowledge and experience is huge, he is a tuakana for a lot of us in the Māori acting world.

Rugby VIPs
BODY:
The New Zealand Rugby Foundation supports players who have broken their back or neck during a game. It works with 102 Very Injured Players, or V.I.Ps, giving them financial and emotional support and advocating for them. The Foundation also works to prevent injuries on the rugby field.
EXTENDED BODY:

Left: NZ Rugby Foundation CEO, Lisa Kingi-Bon and VIP No 8, Muir Templeton. Right: Seti Tafua and Frank Bunce
Twenty years ago Wayne Forrest dislocated his neck playing a game of rugby and became a tetraplegic.
Two years later the New Zealand Rugby Foundation stepped into his life.
The Rugby Foundation’s role is to give financial and emotional support to catastrophically injured players. It also advocates for them and is involved in developing programmes to prevent injuries on the playing field.
The Foundation works alongside 102 V.I.Ps or Very Injured Players in New Zealand.
Wayne says words cannot express the difference the Foundation has made to his life.
“You know I’ve said ‘thank you’ enough times but it still doesn’t seem enough. I’ve been extremely lucky.”
The Rugby Foundation has provided funding for him to go with a charity to the UK where he took part in courses to learn water skiing and sailing and went camping on the moors.
“That was probably a bit turning point for me. I realised then that, with a bit of support, anything is quite possible.”
The Rugby Foundation has also helped him fund sports equipment, modifications for his home and has arranged weekends away to sporting events away with other V.I.Ps.
He says those weekend are invaluable for connecting with others in a similar situation and provide opportunities for newly injured players to talk with, and get tips from older players.
The Foundation also funds education for spinal injured players and supports their families immediately after the injury.
It receives $300,000 funding each year from the New Zealand Rugby Union and holds fundraising events so it can support its players.

4:07 The Sunday Feature: Lost Children of the Holocaust
Following the end of the World War Two, the BBC began a series of special radio appeals on behalf of a group of children who had survived the Holocaust but were now stranded as orphans in post-war Europe. A recording of one of these moving broadcasts still exists in the BBC archives. Seventy years on, Alex Last set out to find out what had happened to the 12 children named in this recording. They had been in many camps, including Auschwitz, Muhldorf, Kauferng, Theresienstadt, Belsen, and Dachau, and the modern-day search took him to Germany, Israel and the United States. Five of the Holocaust survivors are still alive today, and four of them were well enough to speak to Alex, who was able to piece together their stories of courage and humanity. (BBC)

Asquith Thomson (the first archivist for the NZBS) and another unidentified narrator introduce the programme, outlining the career of 'the greatest tennis player New Zealand has ever produced'. He won the singles championship at Wimbledon four times and from 1907-1914 he dominated the doubles at Wimbledon with his partner Sir Norman Brooks. After some defeats at Wimbledon in 1907 and 1908 he returned to New Zealand. Frank Wilding, his brother, recalls his determination to return to Wimbledon however.
F.M.B. Fisher and Frank Wilding recall the Wilding family home, "Farnhope” in Opawa, Christchurch, where there was plenty of opportunity for sport, with a grass tennis court where many matches were held with friends and family and where visiting cricket teams were often entertained. Antony Wilding was for some time expected to follow a career in cricket. His extreme fitness is remembered by Warne Pearse (a brother of Richard Pearse) of Timaru, a former cricket umpire and friend. After schooling in Christchurch he moved to England to study law at Trinity College, Cambridge. His tennis improved and Geoffrey Ollivier recalls his strong fast forehand while F.M.B. Fisher recalls his weak backhand and serve, which had to be corrected.

A large state house was provided for the family (which grew to eight in total) and became a tourist attraction. Behind the scenes the Johnsons struggled – mother Kathleen Johnson wrote in a letter to Prime Minister Michael Joseph Savage, ‘How different is our lives to what the public think … Two pocket handkerchiefs and 10/- from a sewing guild was their birthday presents last year.’ AUDIO QUALITY NOT GOOD
