Insight for 9 August 2015 - Gay Rights Beyond Marriage
BODY:
Alex Ashton considers if same-sex marriage has changed what it is to be gay, lesbian, bisexual or trans in NZ
EXTENDED BODY:
Many in the queer community fear same-sex marriage is being used as a universal solution for the challenges still confronting gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals.
Advocates argue two years of marriage equality have had little impact on alarming youth suicide rates and ongoing prejudice and has swept more pressing issues out of the limelight.
Listen to Insight: Gay Rights Beyond Marriage
The passing of Labour MP Louisa Wall's Marriage Amendment Bill, in April 2013, marked a societal turning point for many.
The 77 - 44 vote was greeted by rapturous applause and a rousing rendition of the waiata Po Karekare Ana. There was an air of celebration among the politicians and the packed public gallery.
The first same-sex marriages were held three months later. In the next two years, nearly 1800 same-sex couples tied the knot in New Zealand.
However, some, such as Wellington gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth worker, Kassie Hartendorp, believe the legislation has changed little on the ground.
"All in all, I don't think marriage equality would have any impact in their day to day lives. There's a reason why we still run support groups.
"I'm definitely not making the argument that we shouldn't have marriage and it's all bad - but it's really important to note that it was the most symbolic, easiest thing to do, and was treated as a final frontier, whereas there are still a lot of things we need to be addressing in more depth."
She said queer people still battled discrimination, abuse and disproportionate levels of mental illness.
And, in regards to mental health, research indicated queer youth were having a much harder time than their straight counterparts.
A study published by University of Auckland researchers last year found one in five same-sex and both sexl attracted youth had attempted suicide in the past year - a rate five times higher than their straight counterparts. Nearly half had thought about killing themselves, and just short of 60% had self harmed.
Miss Harterndorp said the figures showed New Zealand was far from an all-inclusive society.
Those who agree with her include Broden Packer, a 19-year-old Wellington university student.
He said he had been attacked three times and was bullied by his peers over his sexuality.
"One time it was me and my two female friends... We were all targetted by a group of straight males in their 20s, just shouting 'faggot'."
On another occasion, he had his jaw broken after being punched in the face. The perpetrator was given community service.
However, Broden Packer said today's environment was still a far cry from that faced by queer people 40 years ago.
Back in 1973, when Ngahuia Te Awekotuku was denied entry to the United States for being a lesbian - or 'known sexual deviant' - she was frustrated.
She took to a microphone at the University of Auckland, and asked her peers if they were comfortable with her treatment. She told them if they were not, to meet her afterwards. About 11 did, and about 40 came to the second meeting the following week.
That was the birth of gay liberation in this country.
Back then it was illegal for men to have sex with one another, and there were no laws preventing discrimination based on sexuality.
Same-sex marriage seemed a far-fetched idea, and it was not something activists aspired to, either.
"Marriage - the actual notion of marriage - has its history in heterosexual economics and church sacrimentalism," said Ms Te Awekotuku.
"We sat around in the early days and talked a lot about the notion of marriage, and most of us thought, well it's what a man and a woman does. It's not what we want to do, because why would we want parity with them?"
Ms Te Awekotuku said same-sex marriage was a triumph for those who had fought for it, but it had not created a landslide change in public opinion towards queer people.
"What concerns me is that in the rugby clubs, in the league clubs, in the rural communities, the kitchen, out the back, on the marae, down at the beach - within those parts of my world, which are traditional, and conservative, it's okay if you're like 'that', but you shouldn't flaunt it.
"Getting married is flaunting it."
Ms Te Awekotuku said for queer Maori - or takatapui - in particular, it would be another 40 years before any significant change happened.
Her concerns were echoed by Elizabeth Kerekere, the founder and chair of Tiwhanawhana, a takatapui community group in Wellington.
"For some, [marriage equality] is really significant, it was something they had fought hard for, that they wanted in their lives, so I think that is a great thing that they are able to have that and all of the legal protections, and the status that comes with being a married person in this country.
"But for our young people getting bullied in schools, and schools not knowing how to deal with homophobic and transphobic bullying and just pretending it's not happening - same-sex marriage? Not an impact at all."
Shelley Howard, a transgender woman living in the Hutt Valley north of Wellington presented for much of her life as a male. She joined the military, married, and had three sons. "The whole routine," as she called it.
She said same-sex marriage was a win for gays and lesbians, but did little to advance the rights of other queer people, namely those not on the standard gender spectrum.
"We're the forgotten minority."
"It's understandable in some ways, because lesbianism and homosexuality are about sexuality. It's problematic for transgender, because our issue is not sexuality. Sexuality becomes another issue later on. But recognising us first for our gender dysphoric condition is our first major step."
Ms Howard is another who worries about the mental health outcomes for queer youth, especially for young transgender people, who, she argues, still face a huge amount of discrimination.
"The people who should be supporting them and assisting and aiding them, the people in responsibility - parents, counsellors, therapists, teachers - all of these people should be reliable, informed sources of advice and help to the transgendered.
"But when you end up with the principal in a prestigious school making statements that he has no homosexuals in his college, then you really have to wonder how much more we have to do.
"Things have not changed at the coal face, particularly for transgender, and legislation will never do that."

Craig Sisterson - Kiwi Crime Writing
BODY:
The founder of the Ngaio Marsh Award for Best Crime Novel, Craig Sisterson, reflects on this year's crop of finalists and the state of Kiwi crime writing. Craig regularly reviews crime novels and interviews authors for his blog Kiwi Crime.
EXTENDED BODY:
The founder of the Ngaio Marsh Award for Best Crime Novel, Craig Sisterson, reflects on this year’s crop of finalists and the state of Kiwi crime writing.
Craig regularly reviews crime novels and interviews authors for his blog Kiwi Crime.
On Sunday Morning with Wallace Chapman we asked for listener's favourite crime novels after interviewing founder and current judge of The Ngaio Marsh Award for Best Crime Novel, Craig Sisterson. And they responded enthusiastically.
Eamonn emailed in to say:
"My favourite crime novel is The Friends of Eddie Coyle by George V Higgins. Also enjoy almost anything by Elmore Leonard. Badly missing both (sadly RIP). Any suggestions?"
We certainly do.
Kath texted in to say that she loves "Graham Hurley's Faraday crime series set in Portsmouth".
A novel called The Black Dahlia is based on a dark true story, and has its fans:
"The best crime novel is The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy. No contest." - Anonymous
"I remember the night I began my first James Ellroy novel, The Black Dahlia. It felt like I'd been picked up and slammed against the wall and held there until I finished the damn thing. A night without sleep. Some of his other novelistic noir can get annoyingly baroque but the best just can't be beat." - Peter Thomson
"Did anyone mention Chad Taylor? Departure Lounge is sublime." - Te Ariki WiNeera
"The Broken Shore by Peter Temple. Brilliant!" - Anonymous
"Daphne Du Maurier's Rebecca is a great classic crime novel, hard to beat for atmosphere, character and sense of place." - Pam, Wellington,
"Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express set in the 30's on the Istanbul- Paris Express is a great classic thriller." - Robin, Lower Hutt
Most listeners just couldn't narrow it down to just one book or one author, in part because favourite detectives straddle long series.
From Mary Hart: "I find it hard to decide which is my favourite crime novel. I love reading Americana and British crime novelists such as Michael Connelly (Harry Bosch series) and Ian Rankin (Rebus series). I also love the Scandinavian crime novels by authors such as Camilla Lackberg, Arnaldur Indridason, Asa Larsson, Jo Nesbo and Hanning Mankell. All have good characterisation and lots of interesting local colour. The ones that appeal to me most have a lead character with integrity and a passion for bringing the criminal to justice but does not always follow the book and has private demons to battle. Another series in this genre that comes to mind are the Inspector Ikman novels by Barbara Nadel which are set in Turkey.
"I am nearly at the end of Scottish Crime writer Ian Rankin's Rebus crime series. Set almost entirely in Edinburgh. Was there two weeks ago and visited a few of the actual places he writes about - notably The Oxford Bar. Wonderful. - Hamish.
"Ian Rankin every time. I love Inspector Rebus." Jenni
Norwegian author Jo Nesbo has a fan in Michelle Ingill: "Anything by Jo Nesbo. Great writer."
"Val McDermid is a great crime novel writer. Also Arnaldur Indriðason - Icelandic author. Good luck pronouncing that. :-)" - Barbara
"Patricia Highsmith, the Ripley novels and Iceland's Arnaldur Indriðason [are] unputdownable" -David
"Anything by Mo Hayder" - Garry
"Paul Cleave [2015 Ngaio Marsh Award nominee] is at the top of my list. Christchurch is one of his great characters. Always riveting." - Anonymous
"Fav crime novelist. Absolutely anything by Christchurch writer Paul Ceave [is] unputdownable." - Alice
"Big ups for the NZ novelist Edmund Bohan (the ex-opera singer) who wrote a cracking historical detective series [set] in late 1800s NZ. Starts with The Opawa Affair. Hard to find, but utterly worth it" - Lydia Gunn
"All C.J.Box stories keep me there until the end. I like the characters and the corporate corruption plots." - Janice
"The best crime writer I feel is French author Fred Vargas. She is an undersea & medieval specialist so her writing is always enthralling with these themes. You have to wait ages to get her books in our Auckland libraries. - Andy
"Barbara Nadel's novels. Just wonderful, either the Cetin Ikmen Series or the Francis Hancock ones." - Wendi Wicks
"Minette Walters has such psychological depth in her characters." - Anonymous
"No one has mentioned Jackson Brodie, Kate Atkinson's character. So I will. Yes, he's up there with other writers' crime solvers." - Diane Holmes, Pauanui
"Has anyone mentioned Cynthia Harrod-Eagles? She writes delightfully humorous novels featuring Detective Bill Slider. She presents a variety of well rounded characters and believable situations. Particularly engaging are her chapter headings which sometimes are laugh-out-loud plays on words. That there is a crime to solve just seems a bonus to a good story about people." - Anne Ferguson, New Plymouth
"My view of the genre was completely transformed when my friend Jeff introduced me to the Red Riding Quartet by David Peace, each novel is a year: 1974,1977,1980, and 1983 the final novel. The novels still haunt me [they] create a totally absorbing world - the characters are all pawns and victims of the terrible world that straddles the Yorkshire moors." - Matthew
"The historical crime series with Matthew Shardlake as the inquisitive solicitor on the edges of Henry VIII's court by C.J. Sansom is wonderful. Wish more had been written!!!" - Evelyn Skinner, Clyde
"Favourite crime writer is Tana French: Broken Harbour and The Likeness. Also Sophie Hannah from Little Face onwards. Her heroes are just as messed up as her villains." - Tony, Nelson
"Has anyone mentioned Terry Hayes' brilliant recent novel I Am Pilgrim. Spy,murder thriller par excellante! I am also a John Le Carre fan. A Smiley's People remake would be great." - Graeme, Whangarei
"Love anything by Liza Marklund." - Anonymous
"Raymond Chandler created the only detective I would want working for me in the crumbling granite of Phillip Marlow." - Mark Manson, Takaka.
"Ross MacDonald was a great crime writer from the 1950's in the vein of the hardboiled detective novels of Chandler and Hammett. Library of America recently re-published 4 of his novels in one beautiful volume. Sparse intelligent writing." - Kate
Robert B. Parker's Spencer series; in tradition of Raymond Chandler - Anonymous
"The Guido Brunetti novels by Donna Leon. Set in Venice. Wonderful!!" - Helen Holdem
"I don't think anyone has mentioned Reginald Hill and his Dalziel and Pascoe novels - he is my favorite crime writer. Good development of the characters as they age, and the stories are good too." - Beth
"Cop Town, Pretty Girls or anything else by Karen Slaughter" - Lynette Tuohey
"Jussi-Adler Olsen is the best Scandinavian - start with Mercy". Julie S.
"Louise Penny's Inspector Gamache series, and Dorothy L. Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey books." - Liz
"Ed McBain - he was good. Sort of explored social issues but had a sense of humour." - Dave
"Kathy Reichs (professor) is a fine 'been there done that' writer. The TV series Bones is based on her novels also [her] scientific background adds credibility." - John Elliot, Christchurch
"Ben Aaronovitch['s] Rivers of London crime series - Kevin and Kath
"I have been reading Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series. Brings a whole new dimension to London policing." - Disletza, Palmerston North
'Margery Allingham's Traitor's Purse is my favourite ever mystery novel, written in 1940 during WWII in Britain and hidden in a biscuit tin during the bombings. It has everything: suspense, romance, planes -- and a valet who was a former crim." - Julie
"Robert Wilson's quartet set in Seville, protagonist Inspector Javier Falcon. Deep, complex stories, atmospheric evocative descriptions of Seville" - Anonymous
Some other stray related notes Sunday Morning received:
"It was only when I first read NZ crime that it occurred to me that things like that happen in here too. Until then I felt bad things happened somewhere else." - Anonymous
"Nicky Hager. Dirty politics. Best crime story!" - P.O.
Sunday Morning also recommends for those delving into the genre they check out The Listener's monthly Crime and Thrillers column written by Bernard Carpinter, and a fascinating series previously run on Radio New Zealand National produced by BBC Radio 4 called Foreign Bodies that looks at the Crime Fiction culture of individual countries and what it says about their cultures.

8:12 Insight Gay Rights Beyond Marriage
It's nearly two years since gay and lesbian couples gained the right to marry in New Zealand. Since then, more than 1,500 same-sex couples have tied the knot and the rate of civil unions has plummeted. Worldwide, more countries are now following suit, including the US and the UK. But how has the Marriage Amendment Bill changed the lives of gays and lesbians living in this country, and has it been the silver-bullet against homophobia that some thought it would be? This Insight explores how same-sex marriage has changed what it is to be gay in New Zealand, and asks where to now for the queer rights movement.

Where kaka die and tara cry, I burn the tussocks brown...
– From The Great Nor’wester by Roger Lusby.
Roger Lusby’s parents ran an orchard in the Old Man Range near Roxburgh in Central Otago. Some of Roger’s earliest memories were of characters among the fruit pickers. But this was the late 40s early 50’s and one of the marvels of the age, the Roxburgh hydro dam, was under construction, attracting thousands of workers and colouring Roger’s experience of the region.

Roger migrated north sampling the McKenzie Country, droving, small town life and even Canterbury’s hot, dry Nor’westers.At an early age he discovered a flair for fixing things mechanical and this led to a year in Antarctica in 1969, responsible for machine maintenance at Scott Base. He was only 22 years old.

EXTENDED BODY:
Artist Shannon Novak makes music for buildings. And signs. And locations. And people.
He says there is music in everything and to prove it he has created sound and abstract images in response to the signage and architecture of Auckland’s Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Gallery.
These compositions and images are attached to signs for the elevator, floor tiles, symbols for fire extinguishers and the like – ten everyday objects reframed as art and augmenting the reality we experience around us. But there’s a catch; for the majority of the galleries visitors these works are silent and invisible unless viewed using a digital device and a downloadable app. The exhibition is called Cryptocosmos and is hung - virtually - inside Te Uru and next door in Lopdell House and has begun to spread out into Titirangi village. These smaller works sprang from a much bigger plan.
“I wanted to create work over the Skytower. Logistically, it’s a nightmare. You could do things like projection but even that’s quite a considerable cost. So this technology – use of devices and augmented reality – is the answer.”
Andrew Clifford is the director of Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Gallery and he commissioned the Cryptocosmos exhibition. He says Shannon is lucky to be alive at a time when digital technology makes merging art with objects a whole lot easier.
“Whereas once you had two quite different things now they’re both aspects of electronic media. You open up your laptop and you make sound and it shows you stuff and it all happens simultaneously. So the two have definitely been brought together.”
What separates Shannon from some other artists is the way his work originates. He only makes them after first experiencing them.
“People can call it synaesthesia. I look at an object and there’s a definite set of shapes I relate to that object and with those shapes a definite sound.”
Curiously, while most artworks develop during the process of being made, Shannon aims to be as faithful as he can to that initial experience - the exact shape, shade of colour and the musical sequence he originally imagined. And while the abstract images are often likened to the films of Len Lye or the paintings of Kandinsky or Mondrian, Shannon credits an early Philip Glass animation he saw as a child while watching Sesame Street.
“It was a really abstract animation where a whole lot of circles in different colours appeared and it was accompanied by voices. So there was that intersection between music, shape and colour.”
Contained within the title Cryptocosmos is the idea of an orderly, harmonious system and Shannon says he often places one work in an exhibition as a kind of sun around which others radiate. He’s begun to spread the works out into the Titirangi village and will continue to add works as he feels them and as he is able to.
While Shannon mostly exhibits and sells his works overseas he is hopeful of making more of a mark here in New Zealand. His work is mostly commissioned by galleries and while he acknowledges the difficulties of selling and owning virtual art works he imagines a future where people select a mixed augmented reality to belong to which contains any amount of images and information. In a sense Shannon Novak has secured the artists’ grail – an exhibition that continues to grow, will never be taken down and is unaffected by any works hung over it by other artists. Kandinsky, Mondrian, Glass and Lye would be proud – and possibly a little envious.
Shannon Novak's Cryptocosmos exhibition is on at Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Gallery in Titirangi, Auckland.

Te Ahuru Mōwai - The impact of suicide on Māori communities
BODY:
Ko te piko o te māhuri, tera te tupu o te rākau. They way in which the young sapling is nurtured, determines how strong it will grow as a tree. This whakatāuki speaks to the theme of a National Suicide Prevention hui hosted by Te Runanga o Ngāti Pikiao, in Rotorua. Justine Murray presents coverage of the conference, and speaks to those directly affected by it, and gains an insight into what the solutions are to decrease the rising statistics of suicide amongst Māori.
EXTENDED BODY:
Rotorua-based Māori organisation, Te Runanga o Ngati Pikiao hosted Turamarama ki te Ora, a national suicide prevention hui that brought together a number of key people who work at the forefront of the Māori health sector, academia and indigenous research. The discussion kaupapa was understanding how suicide prevention begins from conception.
The three day conference included discussion from consultant and te reo advocate Moe Milne (Ngāti Hine, Nga Puhi); chief tikanga advisor and general manager at Waitemata and Auckland District Health Board, Naida Glavish (Ngāti Whatua); Māori rights activist and lawyer Moana Jackson (Ngāti Kahungunu); Meridian kinesiologist Maui Te Pou (Tūhoe); and a range of health workers from the mental, youth and social sector.
Justine Murray presents coverage from the conference.
Turamarama is about hope and it's about the potential of the child, how do we support the child to have protective factors around them such as their language, their own waiata, haka? That's what where we are hoping to achieve from the conference.

At one of the local pubs in downtown Taumarunui the bar was replaced with rowing machines and gym equipment after Jamie Downs turned it into a Wellness Centre. In recent years, Jamie suffered from depression and was suicidal after his sight deteriorated. The impairment brought on feelings of depression and as a result Jamie gained weight and at his heaviest, he tipped the scales at 174 kilos.
His whanau rallied around him, eventually he underwent two cornea transplants, and went on a mission to get well, both in mind and body.
Cue, the Breakthrough Wellness Centre.
Jamie shared his story on social media, called Jamie Downs – The Journey. He went on to lose 74 kilos, but it hasn’t been easy. In recent months as he has become busier, the kilos have crept back on, he says it’s a daily process. Jamie’s story has encouraged others, and he credits his Aunty Tariana Turia and Dr Keri Lawson-Te Aho for their ongoing support. He shared his story at the conference.
For me, its just about aroha. Showing the people that come through the doors that
everyone is an individual and everyone is dealing with something different, some might be drugs, some might be alcohol, for some it might be weight. When Whaea Tariana said, what are you doing? I said we are helping people go from addiction...because I was there.

Consultant, researcher and te reo Māori advocate Moe Milne describes whakatauki (proverbs) as ‘jewels of wisdom’. Whakatauki contain only a few words, but contained is a profound message. Her own twist of the whakatauki 'Ko te piko o te māhuri, tera te tupu o te rakau' (The way in which you nurture the sapling, determines how it will grow), was adapted to take on a new meaning which she has used in her work in the Far North, she says, 'Manaakitia te Mahuri – He Tupuna kei roto', to mean look after the sapling, because therein lies your tupuna, your future.
Moe Milne has long been an advocate of the well-being of Māori. At the conference she drew on her personal experiences when one of her whanau went through feelings of suicide.
You know that picture of mai nga tupuna, heke mai ki a koe, mai i a koe ka puta ano te whakapapa, I actually thought we need to tell her what would happen to our whakapapa if she weren't in it. So we went around all our whanau, and there were a few of us, including the babies, to tell her what would happen to me if she weren't there. What would happen to my mokopuna if she wasn't there, what would happen to her brothers and sisters.
I didn't know if it was a good thing or bad thing or otherwise, but I wanted her to know that she was precious to us. That she belonged to this whanau, and this whanau will do anything it takes, as we all do, to make it a place for her to function in, to thrive in, to live in.

Warner Rahurahu lost his brother to suicide, what he learned from the experience is that Māori have to be brave and talk to someone. In reflection he says there were warning signs, and part of the issue for his brother was not dealing with his past. Today, Warner helps a lot of people, especially young people who want to take up Waka Ama. He likens the wellbeing of the hinengaro (mind) and wairua (spirit) to the functionality of a waka.
We don't have that outlet, we look to our mates and we have to be tough, we look to our fathers we have to be tough and the reality is is that we don't have that avenue. This kaupapa is awesome because it is about being able to talk with each other. Being able to express what is going on. It doesn't mean we are weak.
- Warner Rahurahu

Emma Goodall is on a crusade to change the world one teacher at a time. She is an education consultant and university lecturer with a special interest in autism. Emma is on the spectrum herself and has just written a book with simple tips for teaching children with autism.
She says the most important things a teacher can do for a child is to like and value them and strive to understand them. “My driving force is if I can achieve why can’t other people on the spectrum achieve? Everyone has the right to a happy life and I think everybody on the spectrum could have that if they were understood and their support was appropriate.”

Emma’s book includes a sensory screen, an information-gathering tool that can help teachers identify triggers for children on the autism spectrum that make them feel very uncomfortable and could be a barrier to them engaging in learning.
Emma was one of the speakers at the recent Altogether Autism conference in Auckland which brought together people with lived experience of autism, parents and professionals to discuss best practice and research and to share their stories.
One in Five talks to Emma Goodall and two of the other presenters at the autism conference, Sue Kinnear and Erika Ford.
