Insight for 8 November 2015 - West Papua
BODY:
In a rare opportunity to explore signs of change in West Papua, RNZI journalists Johnny Blades and Koroi Hawkins report from Indonesia's isolated province.
EXTENDED BODY:
The lid is lifting on what has been for so long Asia/Pacific's hidden region.
Since incorporation into Indonesia in 1969, outside access to West Papua - the western half of New Guinea, has been tightly restricted amid a simmering separatist conflict.
Listen to Insight - West Papua uncovered
However, in May, Indonesia's new president Joko Widodo signalled restrictions on foreign media access to West Papua were being lifted. I'd been declined a visa to visit West Papua in the past, but decided to give it another crack.
The process for obtaining a journalist visa involved jumping through a large number of bureaucratic hoops, but after a few months securing the required supporting documents and submitting relevant applications, I was approved and so too, my colleague Koroi Hawkins.
Door slightly open
We travelled into West Papua by land, across the border from Papua New Guinea - that arbitrary straight line running along the 141st meridian east, down the middle of the huge island just north of Australia.
West Papua is tightly guarded by Indonesian military and police, with reports of killings and human rights abuses against the local population commonplace over the last few decades.
Once past the military checkpoints, the stark contrasts between Indonesia and PNG became clear: productive farmland, better infrastructure, thousands of scooters. Basically - more money.
As we entered Jayapura, the capital of Papua province, Indonesian cultural and religious influence was everywhere.
Melanesian culture on the other hand was barely visible. Like the West Papuans, it simply seemed overpowered, outnumbered.
A main reason: the Indonesian state programme called transmigration, whereby people from over-populated parts of the republic are resettled in less crowded regions like West Papua.
Transmigration has been changing the face of West Papuan society over the last two decades.
One evening in a house in suburban Kota Raja, the secretary general of the Papua Customary Council, Leo Imbiri, told us that every week up to four ships arrived in Papua with migrants.
"One big ship can bring about one to three thousand people. So if one week, there are four big ships coming to Papua, it means in one week we have up to twelve thousand people come to Papua," he said.
Mr Imbiri paused, and the sound of the call to prayer at a nearby mosque filled the silence.
"It is alarming for us," he went on, "not only for the culture, but for the future life of the Papuan people, because if there is demographic change in Papua, you will (have) loss in political control, economic, social, everything you will lose."
The Melanesian lifestyle and customs are struggling to adapt to a teeming Asian society with an expansive economy.
Papua's Governor Lukas Enembe warned that West Papuans may vanish as a people within twenty years if transmigration and other forms of marginalisation continued at their current pace.
Jakarta's development drive
Despite the strong opposition, Jakarta is persevering with transmigration, saying Indonesians have the right to move around the republic freely.
A leading government representative on development in Papua, Judith Dipodiputro, argued that the influx of migrants helped West Papuans diversify their skills and become more competitive.
We visited Mrs Dipodiputro at a major new market construction in Sentani where she was overseeing the Jokowi government's programme aimed at fostering economic and social development among Papuan grassroots communities.
"The need for not modernisation, but to help them integrate into modern market mechanism is there," she explained.
"The idea is that the communities have to be part of the supply chain that exists in Papua, and hopefully one day outside Papua. And this supply chain begins in their village."
The Phasaa market is what Mrs Dipodiputro called an integrated complex, where the government was trying to meet all the cultural and welfare challenges, and empowering "the Mamas", who she described as the natural leaders of productivity.
She expected Jakarta's development drive to help grow satisfaction among Papuans with being part of Indonesia.
"Because the majority of our people are grassroots, " said Mrs Dipodiputro. "The problem of Papua is not unique to Papua. We have poverty, and education, lack of competitiveness, lack of basic infrastructure all over Indonesia."
However, West Papuans felt their efforts to adapt to "modern mechanisms" were hamstrung by the rather backwards structures imposed on them.
According to Septer Manufandu of the Papua People Network, if West Papuans complained about their basic rights not being recognised, they were often branded as separatists.
Speaking out
There are about 50 known political prisoners detained in West Papua.
The most prominent West Papuan political prisoner is Filep Karma, who we visited at Abepura Prison where he is eleven years into a fifteen year jail term for raising the banned Papuan nationalist flag.
President Jokowi recently freed a handful of Papuan political prisoners but Filep Karma refused the government offer of a pardon because he said it would involve admitting guilt for a crime he didn't commit.
Quite freely, he walked us out to the carpark to say farewell, reiterating that he would continue to campaign peacefully for independence.
We were later told that after we had left, intelligence officers emerged and grilled prison staff about our visit.
The climate of fear is pervasive, and numerous West Papuans we met did not want to talk on tape, for fear of repercussions.
But plenty did speak, including those simply trying to carve out a constructive living under difficult circumstances.
On a Waena roadside, we met Barbalina Mina Mandenas, a medical student who wanted to help improve HIV/ AIDS infection rates in Papua, which are the worst in Indonesia.
"Once graduated, I will share my knowledge," she said, "so the most important thing for me is to do something for the HIV/AIDs, prevent West Papuan people (getting infected)."
Getting on with life
Franzalbert Joku is a West Papuan who in recent years has returned to live in his homeland after years in exile campaigning for independence.
On his front porch near Lake Sentani, he told us life was far better today for West Papuans than during the years under President Suharto's rule.
"Even as citizens of Indonesia, we have a right to exist in our own land," he said. "Whether we are part of Indonesia as a province or as a self governing region, we have that right."
Mr Joku, who once felt forced to flee Indonesia, said that Papua had now gone through its worst.
"I say this without meaning to undermine my brothers and sisters who are still out there in the jungle or in other countries advocating outright independence.
"I just look at the issues," he explained, "and try to look at what options are within the realm of possibilities."
Getting into West Papua as a journalist was something I previously thought was not possible. The Indonesian government must be credited with opening the door a little.
The success of the Indonesian government's efforts to open up Papua depend on whether the security forces will allow it to continue.
On our way out of West Papua at the border, soldiers asked for selfies with us before we walked nervously, across the line and back into PNG.
It remains to be seen whether the smiling soldiers will accept the veil being raised on West Papua, or if greater access to the troubled province gives them more problems than it solves.
But for the moment - it's a start.

Te Ohu Hāpori - Taumarunui
BODY:
Justine Murray visits Taumarunui and talks to those who are effecting positive change.
EXTENDED BODY:
The unofficial population of Taumarunui is about three and half thousand people, located in the King Country, it sits in the Ruapehu and Whanganui District. Taumarunui the word itself, was understood to have been said by the Chief Pehi Turoa, who wanted a 'large shade' built to shelter him from the sun. Ngarau Tarawa was born in Waihi close to Tokaanu near Lake Taupo. In the 1930's her father, along with many Māori men from Nga Puhi moved to the area to work in the three main industries of that time, farming; the railways and timber mills.
Ngarau and her husband Herewini Tarawa raised their eleven children in Taumarunui. Their homestead of fifty three years is still their residence. After twenty four years as a stay at home mum, Ngarau worked for REAP (Rural Education Adult Programmes) for fourteen years before branching out and setting up Te Waka Pu Whenua, an organisation that runs courses in Mātauranga Māori that include, Whaikōrero (formal oratory), Rāranga (Weaving) and site cultural visits.
With the support of the kaumatua, Ngarau has run Te Waka Pu Whenua for sixteen years. She talks about the many changes to Taumarunui over time and the on-going activities of the local iwi and hapu.
It feels good to know that we were part of that growing Taumarunui thing, Overall when I think of community, I think of Taumarunui.
Ngarau Tarawa
James Downs and his wife Moana Downs raised their family in Taumarunui. The couple sold up their diary this year after twenty six years. They also ran a cafe for nine years, and when arcade games became available, they opened a youth centre. Moana remembers her children sitting on chairs behind the counter and serving the customers.
We owned a cafe and Jamie is very good cook, that's where he got big, we joked and said that he ate all the profits. It was literally the truth. He (Jamie) said, dad if we don't get rid of this place its going to kill me.
James Downs
Today, Moana and James help their son Jamie run the Breakthrough Wellness Centre, a gym that used to be the old Taumarunui Pub. Moana has lost 19 kilos after taking on her son's shreddathon programme, and James works behind the scenes and even mans the reception desk. They've seen their son Jamie come through the other side as a more positive man after battling depression. They share their story. Jamie talks about his perspective growing up in Taumarunui, getting well and establishing the centre.
The first job we had there was to rip the bar out, it's been one of the biggest destruction of this community. We're running the wellness centre in there, primarily a gym. It's all about helping individuals identify their past and whats held them captive in the way of their decisions and additions
Jamie Downs
Taumarunui Kokiri Community Trust is Whanau Ora centre that runs social and health services in Taumarunui and Te Kuiti. The large office premises is downtown Taumarunui is home to a fully functional gym on two levels. They run youth advocacy programmes, a lifestyle home for the elderly, hapu mama services, a sexual health clinic and a raft of other primary and secondary health services. CEO Christine Brears and whanau Ora Manager Frana Chase talk about their kaupapa.
Māori will be their own educators, Māori will be their own practitioners we had to create a way of doing that.

Sibling Stories
BODY:
This week on One in Five: sibling stories. We may have fought like cats and dogs but most us who have brothers and sisters share a life long bond with them. And for people who have a sibling with a disability, looking to the future may bring some extra challenges. Katy Gosset visits a Second Generation workshop where families plan ahead to build a good life for a disabled member.
EXTENDED BODY:
"My parents liked to dress us the same so my Nana made a lot of our clothes and we always had matching outfits."
"She's pretty feisty. We've had a few disagreements but we get on most of the time now."
"If we went to the supermarket and she didn't get a chocolate bar, then she'd make it known to everyone."
When it comes to brothers and sisters, so far, so ordinary.
Most people can relate to minor spats and sibling dramas.
But some people will play a more active role in their sibling's future.
Parent to Parent is an organisation that supports people who have a family member with a disability. It also runs Second Generation workshops to help siblings make plans for the family member’s future.
A Strong Bond
Claire Clarke of Invercargill shares a close bond with her younger sister, Melissa Wards, who has cerebral palsy.
Her sister currently flats in a supported living facility but Claire is aware that, as their parents age, she will be Melissa's primary support person.
However she says she doesn’t feel a sense of responsibility about that role.
“I would do for her what I would do for any other sibling that I would have had and it’s just to care and support and I’m a very big family person.”
She says her family has been very good at communicating about what everyone wants for Melissa’s future
“I know where we’re heading. I know all the financial and legal implications for that.”
And she says she’s aware of her sister’s own expectations.
“Melissa just wants to be happy. She wants to have her family around, she wants to go on family holidays.”
She admits it was very hard when her sister first went into a supported living environment. Whilst it was Melissa's wish and everyone agreed with it, Claire says it rolled around very quickly..
“My Dad came round and told me and I got really upset and angry because I couldn’t see how great it would be.”
She says she struggled with the idea of letting go of her sister and putting her in a different environment.
“I felt that to some point that we were giving up a little bit but it was the complete opposite. It’s been absolutely amazing and she’s flourished in that environment.”
Supporting Siblings
For the last ten years Claire Clarke has also worked for Parent to Parent, helping to run camps for the siblings of children with disabilities and sees many of the same issues arise.
“Some children feel that their parents don’t give them as much attention as what their sibling gets.”
She says the workshop teaches children how to ask their parents for more time and to express the things they’d like to do with them.
She admits she sometimes found things unfair when she was younger.
“When I was younger it was little things like why did I have to empty the dishwasher and she only had to empty the cutlery.”
But she says her parents worked hard to ensure she felt included and never missed out on anything her sister had. And Melissa sometimes went into respite care so Claire could spend time with her parents.
Claire Clarke is also involved with the Second Generation workshops where she helps families think about future options for their loved one.
Caring for Kelsey
She might not have been at the Second Generation workshop but Kelsey te Kaat was front and centre, all the same.
Her family helped design a poster (left) of all the aspects of her life and, as they talked, some similar themes emerged about their daughter and sister: "She's quite feisty." "She knows what she wants."
They say 22 year old Kelsey, who has Down Syndrome, has a strong personality and is an important part of their family.
Linda te Kaat says she’s pleased to see her daughter, Laura Carter and daughter-in-law, Rose Condon, who were also at the workshop, take an active role in Kelsey's future.
“I’ve done everything for so long [] I just think it’s great that the kids want to be such a huge part of her life, even though they’ve got their own lives to live.”
But the move to hand over some control of Kelsey's care is also an emotional one.
“Sometimes you feel like you’re the only one that knows that person properly when you do everything for them.”
But Linda te Kaat says she's feeling positive about the change and she’s ready to let others lend a hand.
“After 22 years I feel Mother can have a bit of a life of her own.”
Laura Carter is almost seven years old than Kelsey and admits she feels protective towards her.
"She's just my little sister - I don't actually see her as the disability."
But she’s aware that other people often stare at her sister.
“I’ve pulled quite a few kids up on it, you know, later in life when they were pointing, laughing, that sort of thing, and after you’ve said it to the kids they obviously feel really bad about it.”
Laura Carter says she's excited about the plans for Kelsey's future but believes it will require a big collective effort from all the family.
“Because we are [] 22 years into quite a strong routine, there’s going to be a lot of support between us and a lot of letting go challenges to let her have her good life.”
She says the family already has traditions that Kelsey is attached to, including a regular family dinner on Thursday night and the playing of Cranium, or, what they call, “the family game”.
“We know answers to all the questions but we still play it. And we all enjoy it and we always have a good laugh. So really important for her to have that once a week.”
She says the family will support Kelsey to take some new steps
“It’s about letting her make the decisions about what she wants to do instead of us thinking we know what she wants to do.”
That said, Laura Carter says her sister is often reluctant to leave the house and she hopes to encourage Kelsey into some new activities.
“We can’t have her sitting at home all day every day for the rest of her life, you know she needs to get out there.
Rose Condon is the partner of Kelsey's brother Dan and vividly remembers meeting her for the first time.
“She greeted me at the top of the stairs completely naked !”
She says Kelsey has welcomed her into the family and the pair enjoy a special relationship.
“She’s very loving and caring and pretty humorous [] I just love her to bits.”
And Rose Condon is delighted to be involved in planning Kelsey's future
“I’m looking forward to what it’s going to bring. I think this is a really important weekend for everyone and I’m glad that I got to be a part of it with the extended family.”
Planning for the Future
Nick Wilkinson is the facilitator at the workshop and helps families realise there are different options and activities that could form a part of their loved one's future.
“We challenge people’s thinking, not to just look at services but what’s available beyond services. Let’s look at the individual: Who are they ? What is going to give their life meaning ?”
He says some clients have been people in their sixties who have a disabled sibling still living with their parents.
They’ve come to the workshop concerned about who will care for the sibling in their later years.
“They’re at a place where they’re: “Well, I’m just going to have to fill those shoes and become a parent for my disabled sibling.”
Nick Wilkinson says it can be satisfying to hear back from families once they’ve put plans in place.
“[For example] my brother was living at home with his parents. He’s now in a flatting situation. He’s got his job, he’s much happier, there’s more people in his life that aren’t just immediate family - we do get those stories which is really, really good to hear.”

The "Buena Vista Social Club" CD and movie have become classics. However, many myths about the musicians have emerged. These days people believe that the musicians were impoverished and forgotten before the CD came out or that the Castro government had repressed their music. But it wasn't true. Most of the musicians were successful in Cuba before the CD, playing the same kind of music that later made them world-wide hits. Producer and host Reese Erlich spent years interviewing nearly all the original Buena Vista musicians and many of their sidemen. In this documentary, he separates fact from fiction
