Insight for 23 August 2015 - The Rise of Phoenix Companies
BODY:
Insight investigates how Phoenix companies are leaving workers and creditors "high and dry"
EXTENDED BODY:
Amongst the stalls of partially-built scaffolding and demonstrations of diggers, hundreds of construction industry reps swap contacts and stories over lunch.
It's Civil Contractors New Zealand's inaugural conference in Taupo and, along with the sales pitches, there is talk of 'phoenixing', an increasing popular way for companies to get out of paying bills and staff.
Listen to Insight: The Rise of 'Phoenix' Companies
This illegal method of escaping financial responsibility has a significant affect on contractors, according to CCNZ executive officer Malcolm Abernethy.
"It seriously affects the contractors' cash flow," he said.
"The margins at the present time are relatively low and it's not until that last payment is made that a contractor would see any profit. If there is a small profit margin, he won't see that until that last payment.
"It affects the ability of the contracting company to invest in plant and also the capability of their workers in terms of training and so forth - they just can't invest."
Phoenixing is a legitimate way of transferring assets from a failing company to a new one, but it is illegal if the director is the same person, and the new name is similar or identical.
It leaves the old company as a shell in liquidation, which is unable to pay any debts it owes.
In his mildest language, CCNZ president Dave Connell branded them "ratbag companies" and revealed he was caught out by one when he first started out, some 30 years ago.
"It cost me $5000, and was the cheapest lesson I've learnt in business!"
Mr Abernethy said some companies would even take to the courtroom to postpone making payments before going under.
"The smart developers and their smart lawyers can use the court system to delay payment and the longer they delay payment, the more time they have to take any funds that that development company holds, and squirrel it away to some other legal entity somewhere else.
"That becomes the problem because then it gets to a final payment and they just simply put their hands up in the air and say we don't have any money... And then they wind the company up and start again."
He said payments needed to have more priority.
"My view is that if a court finds that one party has to pay the other party, then there should be a requirement that the money is paid before any appeals go to a higher court, a Court of Appeal, a Supreme Court, whatever it may be.
"If for some reason it is a little doubtful, then it could be put into a trust until such time as the dispute is finally settled."
Since the beginning of 2012, there have been eight prosecutions under the phoenix clauses of the Companies Act.
Five have been successful, with sentences including a $5000 fine, community service work and home detention, while some people were convicted and discharged.
The law allows for a $200,000 fine and five years in prison.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) recognises the tactic of illegal phoenixing is a growing problem, but says there have not been more court cases because it is an emerging phenomenon.
David Milne, who is the manager of MBIE's northern labour inspectorate and is based in Auckland, said the move was also used to avoid paying exploited workers properly.
"It's a means for employers to avoid paying entitlements. It's even more telling when you start to hold them [to] account for arrears you've found them owing, and then they actually close the business."
Mr Milne said labour inspectors worked in the civil jurisdiction and could impose fines, but he wanted them to be able to do more - banning directors from being able to run companies in the future, and therefore taking them out of the cycle of exploitative management.
He said tightening up the insolvency sector might also help.
For labour inspectors to push an investigation forward, they may need the permission of the liquidator for certain information. Mr Milne said, based on past records, in nine out of 10 attempts they would not get permission so they could not go any further.
"It's just in our experience, recently, with some of the liquidators in some of the key cases we've taken, we've found their behaviour almost bordering obstruction.
"When it comes to actually taking further actions in the liquidation space, our ability to hold employers to account is extremely limited, virtually nil."
The Restructuring, Insolvency and Turnaround Association is planning to put a register in place by the end of September.
To be registered, a practitioner will require 1000 hours of practical experience in the previous three years, and must be deemed "fit and proper".
It was due to come into force in January, but has been delayed until the end of September.
In the meantime, the advice from CCNZ's Malcolm Abernethy is to be vigilant.
"If you search through Company Office records [and] you can find that same person, that same director over about three or four different pages within the Company Office records of former companies that have been dissolved or wound up for whatever reason, over a long period of time...
"That's where we're saying to our members; do due diligence on whoever they work for and make sure they know who they work for, and make sure they're good for the money."

EXTENDED BODY:
“My main job has become not only restoring the artworks but restoring the knowledge that has been lost” – Jim Schuster, Heritage New Zealand Maori Built Heritage Advisor
Born and raised in Rotorua, Jim Schuster’s family has maintained and practised Maori Arts and Crafts for at least five generations.
His great-aunt Rangitiaria Dennan, better known as Guide Rangi, left a lasting impression on Jim, as did his mother Emily Schuster, a renowned master weaver.
And his great-great grandfather Tene Waitere, helped carve Hinemihi o te Ao Tawhito, a small wharenui that survived the Tarawera eruption and more recently a fire at Clandon Park in Surrey, England, where it now resides.
It is little wonder then the softly-spoken former teacher followed in his whanau’s footsteps.
Jim is now a highly sought after advisor for restoration work on meeting-house taonga, both within New Zealand and around the world.
“All that knowledge flowing over us…you absorbed it while you were helping out,” Jim says.
“It has come all those generations…we’re keeping it alive, it’s their legacy…and those families who haven’t got those skills…come to learn from us”
Jim’s work is often complemented by his wife Cathy’s skills as a weaver, and together the pair regularly conduct workshops passing on their skills.

His first film, Angel Mine, was also the first one to be funded by the new Film Commission. But when it came out, the censors didn't know what had hit them.

EXTENDED BODY:
New Zealand Fashion Week kicks off in Auckland from 24-30 August, and this year, Jessica Grubiŝa and Madeleine Harman are showing their label, Harman Grubiŝa for the first time. Sonia Sly caught up with the pair in the lead-up.
So this is your first fashion week, how did the model castings go and what were your expectations?
Madeleine: This is actually my first casting. It was good, it was long. An interesting experience and to have someone walk in front of you and you to be like "yes", or "no". We’re doing 20 looks at fashion week [so] we’ll cast probably 12, maybe 14 girls and then they get an outfit change.
Jessica: You also have to keep a cohesive look. When a good girl walks in the room you know. Their confidence or persona and their walks help.
What are you looking for in terms of an aesthetic for New Zealand Fashion Week?
Madeleine: Something we always try to do is cast a woman, not a girl. She’s really confident, she has a presence about her, she’s got a certain sense of attitude and that’s really important to us; that she sort of holds her own and sort of knows herself and often that comes across really quickly. We also have girls that we’ve worked with before that exude that. And height’s important to us. A tall girl can carry clothing really well.
Jessica: But yeah, it’s not like a specific facial look or anything. It’s more about the confidence.
So when did you decide that you wanted to work together?
Jessica: University. Madeleine and myself were in our last year and we both worked equally as hard. I saw an element in her and vice-versa that was missing in each other. She can tone me down and I can ramp her up.
What can you tell us about the collection that you’re showing at Fashion Week and has it be completed two weeks in?
Jessica: Can’t tell you that. Hahaha.
Madeleine: It’s always up to the last minute. This year we’ve opened a store, we’ve just produced summer; we’re just producing a new season for winter, so literally our workload is the biggest it’s been.
How does it feel sitting alongside designers that have been in the industry for decades?
Jessica: It feels good but we’ve also worked a lot with them before [so] it’s always friendly and nice. I was an assistance fashion editor for a while so I’ve worked with them on other levels. It’s always great to be sitting next to people who you’ve like grown up watching their ranges and [seeing] how amazing their collections can be.
Madeleine: It’s strange to be on the designer side of the coin, I think. I’ve worked with different people in this room.
You’ve come into the industry at a time when digital media and Instagram makes marketing that much more accessible. Has that helped you to some degree?
Madeleine: It’s exhausting! It’s all the time. Social media is hard. I think that our woman is a bit more distinguished. Obviously it works with younger, contemporary street markets really well. Like, if you look at the I Love Ugly boys: they have an amazing instagram online following, and I would say that that ticks over into sales. For us, it’s not necessarily the touch point of our brand that most resonates with our client. And that’s why we had the store, because we just felt that it needed a physical outlet and it needed a home. But social media is hard and it requires 100 percent of your energy.
How would you describe the Harman Grubiŝa aesthetic?
Jessica: Luxurious fabrics are always important to us, like silks and like rich colours. But we also want to design clothes that are classic and timeless that can be reinvented in our women’s wardrobe season to season. We don’t want to be a throw away, or you regret that next season. So I would say, timeless modern luxury.
Madeleine: I think it’s really sophisticated and we always try to do off-beat colouring. I think colouring and textiles are a bit of a strength of ours. It’s what resonates with our clients. They love that a piece is something they can understand because it’s a trench coat or something like that, but they would never have perceived it to be in that colour, or that fabric and that that would work for them.
Madeleine, you have a background in trend forecasting. How has that fed into your design process?
Madeleine: I worked for a company called Edelkoort Inc. in New York [and] it’s French based by a Dutch woman called Lidewij Edelkoort. At one points she was one of Time magazines’ 25 top creatives. [It’s] a non-commercial way of trend forecasting [and] she is very objective in herself and she travels around the world all the time. All her colours are dyed in-house; it’s not something that’s she pulls from a Pantone so it’s all very organic from how they produce it, and from how they see trends happening in the world. And it’s not just necessarily clothing, it’s upheavals of cultures…it just makes you that much more aware of the way everything influences fashion, and we see it really holistically. We always look at the way people live, as opposed to what they wear.
That’s how it’s influenced me, and our conversations when we’re thinking about the mood of a collection.
Outside of fashion week, what is the inspiration behind your Spring/ Summer 15 collection?
Jessica: It’s probably our most resort collection. It’s like boucle’s and soft silks, and whites and creams and stripes. The inspiration behind it was different holiday locations. Different pieces are called Plaza Pant, we’ve got a Monte Carlo trench coat…maybe because we needed a holiday… Also, when you’re designing for a New Zealand woman, especially for summer, you need to understand what they’re going to do during a Kiwi summer...
Madeleine: I think we really lived vicariously through this one. I suppose summer as we know it, is such a celebration. Like we were dreaming up this dream. If you were on a boat in the Mediterranean, what would you want to wear? It’s like all of those fun holidays…it’s fun to dream [and] it’s fun to dream in fashion, so I was pulling all those textiles in and all of those vicarious emotions that we were living through the collection into holiday, and it all kind of rolled out.

Hand weaving is making a comeback, here and overseas, with a whole new generation of young weavers using traditional hand looms but experimenting with new materials and techniques. Many of our more innovative young weavers have been shoulder tapped to be part of an exhibition in Auckland aimed at reminding people about the special qualities of handmade garments, in this mass produced age. Wellingtonian Rachel Long and Auckland based Christopher Duncan talk about their takes on hand weaving and why they love it. Their work's on show at STRANDS weaving a new fabric At Objectspace in Auckland.
1:47 Horror Unleashed
If you saw Tim Wong's alternative history of New Zealand film Out of the Mist at the Film Festival, you'll know Tim had a lot of respect for maverick film-maker David Blyth. Where most Kiwi pioneers were trying to make mainstream thrillers and road movies, or intense, personal art-films, David was - well, different. His first film, Angel Mine, was also the first one to be funded by the new Film Commission. But when it came out, the censors didn't know what had hit them. We talk to David Blyth, whose retrospective Horror Unleashed opens on Wednesday at Wellington's Archive of Film, TV and Sound.

Near-death experiences in New Zealand
BODY:
Research into near-death experiences raises more questions than it answers. Justin Gregory asks if it is possible that consciousness could survive the death of the body?
EXTENDED BODY:
Who wouldn’t be fascinated by tales of people crossing over to the other side and coming back to tell the tale? Near-death experiences, or NDEs, have been reported throughout history and across the world and while they have been studied widely overseas, only a small amount of research has been done in this country.
But that changed nearly five years ago when two academics from Massey University in Palmerston North undertook our first large-scale, retrospective and quantitative study, seeking, in part, to find out whether our NDEs matched those reported elsewhere.
In 2010 psychologist Dr Natasha Tassell-Matamua and sociologist Dr Mary Murray put out a call for participants and received more than 600 responses. They published some of their findings this year and continue to work through the more than 200 accounts they recorded.
Tassell-Matamua herself had what she describes as a “near death-like” experience at the age of 18. Feeling unwell, she lay down on her bed and suddenly found herself traveling at tremendous speed down a long tunnel towards a light. At the end of the tunnel she could see a being waiting for her.
I remember communicating to the being that I’m not quite ready just yet. And at that moment I was propelled back through the tunnel and into my body. I didn’t know what had happened to me. I’d never heard of a Near Death Experience before that. And I didn’t tell anyone about it.
You might be surprised to learn how common NDEs are. Around 15% of people who experience clinical death and are revived report having had them. One recent study suggested that 25 million people have experienced an NDE in the last fifty years alone. Strikingly they have been reported throughout history and across all cultures, age groups, genders, socio-economic groups and religious or philosophical traditions. Explanations for NDEs abound, from hypoxia to neurochemicals as well as psychological explanations and religious belief, but arguably no one explanation has yet been able to fully account for them.
New Zealand’s ethnic diversity and indigenous population provided a useful and manageable-sized base from which to ascertain whether NDEs really were common to all kinds of people. The Massey University study indicates that the NDEs reported in New Zealand matched accounts from other nation. Mary Murray says that is a good result.
‘It corroborates other people’s research and it corroborates people’s experience. Certainly, when people recounted their experiences to us they were quite genuine.’
Often they were afraid to talk about those experiences. When people put themselves forward for our studies they were welcoming an opportunity to talk about experiences that had been deeply meaningful for them.
There was one interesting difference. People who identified as Māori reported deeper and more intense NDEs. There is a hunch amongst researchers that people with strong cultural beliefs are more inclined to accept the fact of an NDE happening to them and to relax into the experience more than a skeptic or an atheist might. But NDEs clearly don’t respect your beliefs – or lack of them.
‘People who were agnostic or atheist were very surprised by the nature of their experience,’ says Mary Murray. ‘It seems that having a religious background does not necessarily colour the nature of your experience.So you might have been brought up an Anglican or a Muslim, but the beings or entities that you see might bear no resemblance to what your religious tradition might have taught you.’
A significant number of people with a religious belief before having an NDE reported a change in their beliefs after, as did some agnostics and atheists. Often those who have had an NDE spoke of being more spiritual as a result. That was not the case for Sarah Wilson.
I’d love to believe that there is something after death. But my feeling really is that there isn’t. I get the sense that it’s the end.
Sarah Wilson is a mountain climber and adventure coach and twice in her climbing career she has come very close to dying. Once when she was buried in an avalanche; the other when she and her companion fell off a mountain. While falling, time slowed down for Sarah and while part of her mind was occupied with trying to stay alive, another part was quietly replaying a movie of her life.
There was some part of my brain reviewing my life in preparation for finishing it…almost trying to preserve itself emotionally or protect itself… (I think) the body winds itself up, completes itself.
Since the accident, Sarah Wilson has made significant changes in her life, a common feature of people who have experienced an NDE. Most report an enhanced enjoyment of life, an acceptance of the idea of death and a focus upon family, friends and the pleasure that life can bring. Sarah spends her days making sure she does only what she is passionate about.
Because otherwise, in the busy-ness of getting by, we don’t live.
By and large all data on NDEs is the result of self-reporting of inherently subjective experiences. Natasha Tassell-Matamua and Mary Murray freely agree that this makes them hard to study scientifically but point to ongoing research being done within the medical and psychological communities.
The AWARE Study is led by consciousness expert Dr Sam Parnia and takes place in hospitals around the world. It looks at the relationship between mind and brain during clinical death, using technology to measure brain activity during cardiac arrest and placing hidden images in hospital resuscitation rooms. If a patient reports rich cognitive experiences during a time when next to no brain activity is present, or claim to have left their body, hovered above the resuscitation room and can later accurately identified hidden images visible only from that viewpoint, then researchers will have obtained some hard data to work with.
Until the results are in, both Mary Murray and Natasha Tassell-Matamua cautiously confine themselves to hunches but not hard answers.
‘Consciousness may not need physiological or neurological activity to function,’ says Tassell-Matamua. ‘And that seems like a pretty outlandish statement to make and it is. But at the same time, this is what these experiences are suggesting.’
Mary Murray agrees.
‘I wouldn’t be surprised if near death experiences actually provide some sense of, or pointer to, consciousness existing beyond the body, or the possibility of it. But I don’t think that cancels out the medical questions or arguments or the psychological ones.’
Until we know more, the last word on why we continue to be fascinated by near-death experiences – and why research continues – goes to Sarah Wilson.
We all fear death. And I guess we long to kind of glimpse…the other side. We’re all alive! We haven’t been there yet. And so this is the closest we can get.

Te Reo o te Raki - Nora Rameka
BODY:
Nora Rameka talks about her life in the Far North with regional reporter Lois Williams in part one of a new series Te Reo o te Raki.
EXTENDED BODY:
Lois Williams is Radio New Zealand's Northland reporter. A mainlander by birth, she moved to Whangarei in 1989, intending to stay a couple of years, fell in love with the north and a Northland man and has never left.
There are so many stories to be told in Te Raki. It's the place where Māori and Pākeha first lived side by side and so much of our identity as New Zealanders was forged. I think Northlanders have a slightly different worldview because of that relationship, and I find the Māori stories compelling" - Lois Williams
There are some people in this world who seem born to take charge – and take care of others. Nora Rameka is one of them. The Ngāti Rehia kuia, born to a teenage Ngāti Kuri mother in Te Kao 72 years ago, was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the Queen’s Birthday Honours, for a lifetime of service to Māori.
Lois sits down for a chat wiith Nora Rameka at Rewa's Village, a replica Māori fishing pā at Kerikeri.
By today’s standards Nora was raised in dire poverty: a home with a dirt floor; no power and no running water. She had a dozen young siblings, a father who would walk through the night every Sunday just to make it to his labouring job, a mum who pushed a horse-drawn plough through the paddocks – even when she was heavily pregnant.
Te Reo was spoken at home and church but not at school and Nora was one of the many Māori children punished for speaking their mother tongue at school. But her love of learning survived the sting of the strap and when she turned 12 her parents somehow found the money to send her to boarding school, she lasted two years. Nora left Turakina Māori Girls School in Marton, to head back to her home and help her mother raise her siblings.
But her parents were disappointed she’d given up on school and to her dismay she was packed off to live with an uncle in Auckland and work in a hospital laundry. It was in Auckland that Nora's social life flourished.
The era was all about rock n roll and Nora would meet her future husband, Waata Rameka. They have been together for 54 years. It was through Waata’s career in the railways that her career in education was born. Wherever the couple moved for Waata’s job, Norah, with a growing brood of children, found herself involved in community work and eventually union issues. She was the first Māori employed by the Trade Union Education Authority and her brief was to teach Māori workers about their rights.
"Māori workers never had anything before. When the union would call a strike they didn’t understand that. And I would know who they were and some… had never been on a marae before and we went to marae, and they were appreciative of that" - Nora Rameka
The Trade Union Education Authority quickly recognised her talents and sent her off to the Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts for a course in labour management. In the early '90s the authority was disestablished. Nora applied for a job as Māori Recruitment Co-ordinator at Waikato University. The job led her to complete a degree in Social Sciences.
But the achievements of which she’s most proud is the restoration of the historic Ngāti Rehia marae, Whetu Marama, at Takou Bay and the building of the papakainga housing. Takou River is the last resting place of the Maatatua waka. But it’s not a place Nora had ever imagined living until her father died in 1975.
Following her dad's death, she and her family went and stayed at the unspoilt bay, one of the few on Northland’s east coast where Māori have managed to retain their land. Nora and her sister Marcia found themselves drawn to the old, dilapidated marae across the river, Whetu Marama.
"We walked towards the old marae, and it was just the warmth that came over me... like there was, whoever they were, they were saying ‘We’ve been waiting for you. It was a wonderful feeling, We went to the marae, the broken down marae... my sister and I were crying we didn't know what for... her and I didn't talk to each other. The gorse was coming out of the floor, cow poo everywhere... I guess for me that day I vowed that I would do as much as I could, to make sure the marae would be rebuilt" - Nora Rameka
It was the beginning of a journey and years of work by Nora and her whanau, culminating in the restoration of the marae and the building of 20 houses in a pioneering papakainga housing scheme at Takou where Nora and Waata and many of the whanau now live.

EXTENDED BODY:
CCS Disability action is taking the party to the people. This year it is holding 17th birthday celebrations across the country to mark the 80th anniversary of the organisation.
Founded in 1935 after much lobbying by the well-known orthopaedic surgeon Sir Alexander Gillies and launched by Rotary; The Crippled Children Society, as it was then known, very quickly had branches all over New Zealand.
Wealthy benefactors donated land, homes and money to the organisation which originally supported children with spina bifida, cerebral palsy and the many hundreds of children who had been paralysed in polio epidemics.
The organisation's name has changed, as has the way in which it works, but CCS Disability Action says it's still in the business of working alongside people with disabilities to enable them to have good lives.

4:07 The War That Changed The World – USA: Isolationism
Jonathan Dimbleby presents a public debate from the US Library of Congress in Washington, to discuss the relevance and legacy of World War One for the United States.
On 1 May 1915, one century ago, the British ocean liner Lusitania set sail from New York to Liverpool. She never arrived. In an event which was to have massive consequences, a German U-boat torpedoed the Lusitania on 7 May off the southern coast of Ireland. She sank in less than 20 minutes, with the loss of 1198 lives. The death toll was 128 Americans, and their deaths caused a storm of protest which was a crucial turning point in American public and political opinion about World War One. This event scorched itself on the American consciousness and was constantly reiterated by those, like Teddy Roosevelt, who were determined that America would enter the war against Germany. (BBCWS)
