Recreational fishers 'part of the problem' says report
BODY:
A new report by a right wing think tank says better management of recreational fishing is needed and recreational fishers are part of the problem for depleting fish stocks. Nine to Noon speaks to NZ Initiative report author Dr Randall Bess, and Geoff Rowling, president of the lobby group Our Fishing Future which aims to promote and protect responsible recreational fishing.
EXTENDED BODY:
Recreational fishers are partly to blame for depleting fish stocks, and there needs to be better management of the sector, a new report says.
The report by The New Zealand Initiative said the increasing popularity of recreational fishing, in competition with commercial fishing, has led to the depletion of fish stocks in some areas and concerns about their sustainability.
Its author, Randall Bess, who was a former manager at the Ministry of Primary Industries, told Nine to Noon with New Zealand's increasing population and booming migration and visitor numbers, there would be even more pressure on fish stocks in the future.
Dr Bess said there has been a lot of attention given to the impact of commercial fishing on fish numbers, and the way commercial fishing was managed.
Events like the fish dumping scandal, following a leaked report earlier this year have helped fuel that, he said.
But it was now time people realised that recreational fishing had an impact too, he said.
"The amount of recreational take is significant, it's no longer a marginal activity that has little, if any impact on the sustainability of fish stocks.
"It's a growing segment of the total take, and in some cases the recreational take can exceed the commercial take, and in some fisheries we can expect that happen more and more."
Dr Bess said there was an underlying problem of complacency, or a "hands-off" approach, in managing recreational fisheries.
"There is complacency, and in my view, MPI has lost capability and capacity over the last few years and there's clearly been a reduction in what the fisheries management function can do.
"They're starting to address that, but at this point they haven't really allocated that much resources to the management of recreational fisheries."
However, the president of the lobby group Our Fishing Future, Geoff Rowling, disagreed.
"Over the last few years there's been quite a lot of hands-on management of recreational fishing. All of the regulations that have been put in place around the top of the Marlborough Sounds, the fishery was actually closed to recreational fisheries when it was still open for commercial fishing, and there's been a lot of bag limit reductions in various species around the country as well," he said.
MPI Director of Fisheries Management Dave Turner said it was untrue to say MPI was complacent in managing recreational fisheries.
He said MPI had worked hard in recent years to make improvements to the way that it worked with recreational fishers.
"We have recently put in place a dedicated recreational fishing team to work alongside the nearly 200 staff involved in keeping our fisheries sustainable for all sectors.
"MPI works to ensure that all New Zealand's fisheries are managed sustainably, now and for the future for recreational, customary and commercial users alike."

Thailand's dark underworld
BODY:
Human trafficking is the fastest-growing criminal business in the world. 27 year old Carter Quinley has spent the majority of her life in Thailand, and a large part of that fighting human trafficking. She says the stereotypical image of human trafficking held by countries like New Zealand no longer paints a true picture of the problem.
EXTENDED BODY:
Bangkok is an epicentre for human trafficking and home to Carter Quinley – an American-born woman fluent in Thai who works for the New Zealand-founded anti-trafficking organisation Nvader.
Earlier this year Nvader helped shut down one of the largest brothers in Bangkok – 200 women were being sold there, including 15 minors. Yet Carter points out the stereotypical image of ‘human trafficking’ New Zealanders might have – "a very young girl locked up in a brothel" – no longer paints the full picture.
Forced slavery is not just a ‘women and girls’ issue, she says. One case this year involved an African man who was trafficked to Thailand for sexual exploitation.
Human trafficking is the fastest-growing criminal business in the world, with an annual profit of around $150 billion (more than the profits of Google, Nike and Starbucks combined).
Carter says that "prevention is the best protection" for potential victims of this crime, and the most effective deterrent is successful prosecutions and lengthy prison sentences.
Carter Quigley is in New Zealand to speak about Tearfund's Live Below the Line initiative.

Marty Duda's artist of the week - Prince Buster
BODY:
Marty features the music of the recently deceased King of Ska, Prince Buster.
EXTENDED BODY:
Prince Buster, who died in Miami a few days ago, was arguably the most influential musician to come out of Kingston, Jamaica.
He is credited with inventing Ska in the early 1960s and later on popularising Rock Steady.
It was his music that inspired the Two Tone movement in England, including acts such as Madness, The Specials and The Beat that emerged in the late 1970s.
Cecil Bustamente Campbell was born in 1938 and growing up pursued twin careers as a boxer and singer.
Eventually he opened his own Sound System 'The Voice of the People' and in 1960 released a single 'Little Honey' which introduced Ska's syncopated rhythms to Jamaica.
Campbell went on to release a string of Ska classics through the 1960s, including; 'Madness', 'One Step Beyond' and 'Al Capone'.
He started to have big hits in the UK in the late '60s as the first Ska-loving (and non-racist) skinheads emerged from the Mod movement.
At this time he was once again at the forefront of a musical change in Jamaica with a new sound Rock Steady.
Tracks like 'Shaking Up Orange Street' in 1967 were arranged with the slower, more soulful "rocksteady" beat.
His career slowed in the 1970s as ska and rocksteady gave way to reggae.
But the late 70s in the UK saw the second Ska coming and he was extensively covered by Madness, The Specials and The Beat.
Madness took their name from a Prince Buster track and covered 'On Step Beyond'. While The Specials covered 'Al Capone' and 'Judge Dread'.
Here's Prince Buster in the late 1990s on the BBC's Top of The Pops, when his Rude Boy classic 'Whine and Grine' re-entered the charts.

Changing rugby's 'macho' culture

The reputation of NZ Rugby and the Chiefs has taken a considerable hammering of late. First for allegations of abusive behaviour towards a woman hired to strip for the club, and then for a failure to investigate the claims independently. What can be done to change the sport's off-field culture ? Catharine Lumby helped out the NRL following allegations of sexual assault by Canterbury Bulldog players in 2004.
EXTENDED BODY:
The reputation of New Zealand Rugby and the Chiefs has taken a considerable hammering of late.
First for allegations of abusive behaviour towards a woman hired to strip for them, and then for failing to investigate the claims independently.
Since then New Zealand Rugby has met with sexual violence advocate Louise Nicholas, and plans to hire a ‘respect and responsibility manager’.
So how do you go about changing a sport’s off-field culture?
Professor Catharine Lumby consulted to the National Rugby League (NRL) in Australia following allegations of sexual assault by Canterbury Bulldog players in 2004.
She says the then CEO of the NRL, David Gallop, asked for her help as she was known for her work in this area.
“We talked and he said ‘what do you think I should do’?”
Prof Lumby says the first thing to do is to understand the culture and attitudes that underpin such behaviour.
“Once you get a measure of the culture, then you can design education programmes based on what you know about the culture.”
Her research into the Bulldogs in 2004 showed there were underlying problems.
“There was a culture at the time when women were being used as sexual currency, they became invisible in what the boys called a ‘gee up’ a big male bonding session.”
She says a long-established culture exists in Australia of male bonding by sports teams.
“Some of this male bonding stuff is around sex, and it also involves a lot of drinking, some of that I’m convinced has not always been consensual.”
Some players who spoke to her were troubled.
“We had players call us and say they wanted to come and talk confidentially and burst in to tears - and say a lot of it was about the silence.
“A lot of them felt they’d done things, they’d witnessed things, particularly on away games and they had a wife or they had a girl friend or simply they were a compassionate person about women.”
She says they carried it around, and carried around the guilt.
"What you found was maybe 20 percent of guys had been leading the pack, but then you’ve got all these guys in the middle who really didn’t like what was going on, didn’t like the codes of silence and had seen women treated really badly and felt horrible about it.”
The education process at the Bulldogs allowed these men to open up and one of the results of her work was what she called "peer mentoring".
“The captain of the team, he might be the captain, but he may not be the most respected guy.
“Who’s the leader of the fun and games and who’s really respected, they’re usually a different person.”
Her work with the Bulldogs encouraged early intervention in a situation that could get out of hand
“Work as a team, if your mate’s really blotto, or he’s doing the wrong thing, get him out of the situation.
“Intervene stop a good night going wrong.”
There are many influencers within a sports club but the coach and management are critical, she says.
“One of the things about the NRL, it can’t just be about the players. If they’re being told about how to behave at the pre-season launch, but then the management is there drinking 87 schooners - that’s not a good look.”

Have you ever been in a relationship where your partner did little things to make you think you're going crazy?
You could be a victim of ‘gaslighting’ - an insidious form of emotional abuse in which a person is manipulated (often by a partner and most often by a male partner) into doubting their own memory, perception and sanity.
The term ‘gaslighting’ originated with the 1938 stage play Gaslight and its two 1940s film adaptions. In the most famous – the MGM version of 1944 – Ingrid Bergman plays a woman whose tormenting husband nearly succeeds in convincing her that she is insane.
Although the cinema version of gaslighting is more insidious and crazy-making than what happens in real life relationships, Robin Stern says it can still be very serious.
So what are the signs you’re being gaslighted?
Robin gives quite a long list of potential indicators:
“When you find yourself unsure of things you used to be sure of, when you just don’t feel like yourself anymore, when you find you’re embarrassed to tell close friends and family members what your relationship is like or how you’re feeling in the relationship, when you don’t want to tell your partner about things that are going on because you don’t want to listen to their reaction.”
She says it can also be useful to write down what is said in a conversation – i.e. "I said, he said, I said, he said" to get a clearer picture.
“Take a look at whether the things you’re actually asking are the same things that he’s addressing – or has he switched the conversation somewhere in the middle?"
For further confirmation, talk to those closest to you.
“Ask people who know you really well what they think about the way you’re thinking about your relationship. Are they noticing any changes in you?”
And if you are being gaslighted?
Robin says extricating yourself from this power dynamic is not easy, but, thankfully, is possible. The first step is to confirm what is going on.
Are You Being Gaslighted? (Robin Stern’s 15 telltale signs)

Good fun acting in a feature film?
Great fun.
Is it what you thought it was going to be like?
Well, you can’t really know what anything is gonna be like. But I’ve done other films before. Every different production is different, but it’s the same kind of working system, I guess.
How did you get the part? Was it the usual audition process?
I was called in for an audition and then a recall and a second recall, then I was flown down to Wellington to do my final recall alongside James Rolleston – to see how we looked together and connected together on screen.
And it obviously worked.
I guess so.
Do you get nervous before rehearsals?
Yes, yep.
But you overcome your nerves.
Mm-hm.
Does it put you off going to drama school? I guess you’d expect drama if it’s called drama school.
I don’t know if I’m going to go to drama school. Everyone always asks me and I’m not sure. I guess I’ll see what happens.
Is it helpful that your dad [Mike Edward] is an actor?
It’s greatly helpful.
Did he give you tips about auditioning or did it sort of come naturally?
He likes to… I’m not sure what the right word is, but he likes to share his knowledge of acting. Since I was a kid I’ve been hearing him talk about acting and all his teachers from drama school and their different techniques and what-not.
When did you give it a go yourself for the first time?
I did an amateur production of Les Miserables when I was seven, as the young Cosette. I joined Dad’s agency – Auckland Actors – and did a bunch of commercials, some random low-key theatre stuff, a short film called Munted, which I really like. Then I kind of just stopped for a while. I started doing theatre again in my teens and randomly just got this.
How do you go about taking the character off the page and bringing her to life? Is something you think about or is it an intuitive process?
I was quite shocked when I saw the film because I always imagined Isolde as something quite separate from me and I hadn’t really thought of myself as Isolde during the filming process. But when you watch the film you only have the story that is shown to you on screen. So it was shocking seeing myself as Isolde, actually.
Were you pleased with how it came across?
Yeah, I was. It was really interesting. They cut a lot of stuff, but I think it was for the better.
Does it take a long time to understand how your face works that close on that big a screen?
I guess I don’t really think about that. I try and be as natural as possible without thinking how they’re seeing you. That’s at least what I do.
Was it hard work?
Some scenes were… Yes, I have to say.
What’s hard about it?
I found being emotional the most hard, especially in the break-up scene, just trying to get to that place. We had a coach on set called Rachel House. Right before that scene she took me outside and she made me scream silently - using my guts and my stomach and my throat as loudly as I could without any sound. That was, I think, helpful.
And then the hard work is over and you get to put on a pretty frock and head to the premiere. Was that good?
That was good. That was exciting. I felt really detached, actually. I thought I’d be more, like, overwhelmed. I was quite distant in myself. I don’t know why.
Have you met Eleanor Catton? What was that like?
Yes, I have. That was really great. She’s really, really smart. I really like her. I read the book after filming. You can tell she’s really thinking about what’s happening, but not sometimes commenting on things. I’m not sure whether that’s me reading her behaviour or because I read the book.
You weren’t allowed to read the book beforehand or you chose not to?
In one of the first meetings I had with the producer Bridget [Ikin] I asked if I should read the book and she said probably not. And so I didn’t. At the start of the process they didn’t want to recreate the book as much as use it as a springboard.
Have you got anything else on the way?
I’m doing The Changeover later this year with Miranda Harcourt in Christchurch. It’s a smaller character, but it’s based on a Margaret Mahy book.

And it can be quite serious. Gaslighting can be a severe form of psychological abuse, in which a person is manipulated into doubting their own memory, perception and sanity. It's a sophisticated manipulation tactic, which certain types of personalities, use to create doubt in the minds of others.

Sophie Pascoe's nana proud of granddaughter's achievements

Swimming super star Sophie Pascoe's nana tells Checkpoint she's extremely proud of her granddaughter, New Zealand's most successful Paralympian of all time.
EXTENDED BODY:
Sophie Pascoe's grandmother will be preparing her a roast lamb meal when she returns from Rio, in celebration of yet another massive medal haul at the Paralympics.
A Paralympic veteran at just 23 years old, Sophie has now won 15 medals at three Games, including nine gold medals.
Her grandmother, Yvonne Goodman, says she spoke with Sophie after she won her latest medal this morning - a silver in the 100m freestyle.
Mrs Goodman said she was incredibly proud of her grandaughter, who she said was a self-described perfectionist.
"She was stoked with what she'd had done but I think a little bit disappointed that she didn't get gold."
Mrs Goodman said when Sophie was younger she had told her grandfather, John Goodman, that she wanted to be a Paralympian.
"She said to him ... I want to go to the Paralympics and bring you back a medal - and she did."
Mrs Goodman said Sophie was a wonderful role model.
"She'd do anything to help the young children to help with their sport and encourage them."
Sophie had been brought up the right way, Mrs Goodman said.
"You know, not to hide her disability, even right from a small child it was never, ever hidden.
"When she was tiny she was always in shorts or a swimming suit ... I think that sort of helped her too."
Mrs Goodman said she would be making Sophie a lamb roast with baked potatoes when she arrived back in New Zealand.
"She's a very good eater our Soph."
