New court recommended for sexual offences
BODY:
The Law Commission is recommending radical changes on how sexual violence cases are dealt with, including the ability for some sex offence cases to be handled outside of the judicial system. The Commission says as many as 80 percent of sexual violence cases go unreported - largely because victims find the current system alienating, traumatising - and they do not trust it. And for those victims where the perpetrator is an intimate partner or family member, there can be a fear of how a trial and the resulting guilt and shame might impact on a family. Nine to Noon speaks to the commission's president Sir Grant Hammond.

Heidi Thomas - one of Bill Cosby's accusers
BODY:
Heidi Thomas is one of more than 50 women who have accused veteran US actor and comedian Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting and stupefying them. The accusations have only recently come to light against Cosby, who is now 78 years old, but some complaints date as far back as 1965. Heidi Thomas was an aspiring model and actress and she claims she was drugged and sexually assaulted, in the 1980s. She says in 1984 her agency sent her to Reno, where Bill Cosby was doing some shows, and the actor asked her to perform a monologue for him - she later woke up to find that he was naked in bed with her. She like many of the other women are now speaking out, after staying quiet for decades.

The legacy of Riccarton Bush
BODY:
Riccarton Bush in Christchurch contains the last remnant of a kahikatea floodplain forest in Canterbury, thanks to the Deans family's early conservation efforts.
EXTENDED BODY:
The Deans family is well known from rugby, but the pioneering Canterbury settlers can also take credit for one of the earliest conservation successes in New Zealand.
Riccarton House, a grand Victorian/Edwardian homestead the family built between the 1850s and 1900s, is surrounded by Riccarton Bush, which features the last remnant of a kahikatea floodplain forest.
For 300,000 years, the shifting gravels of the Waimakariri River triggered an ever-changing forested landscape across the Canterbury Plains. Stands of kahikatea established where ever conditions were right, but were regularly downed by floods, only to re-establish elsewhere.
Joanna Orwin, the author of Riccarton and the Deans Family, says the tall kahikatea trees in Riccarton Bush are the last generation of trees that began life as part of these natural flood cycles.
The oldest trees are about 600 years old and have lived through two cultural periods, Maori and European settlement, as well as widespread fires that swept the Plains.
She says when the Deans brothers, John and William, arrived in 1843, they were drawn to the place because of the bush, in the same way Maori had been before them.
As the last source of timber and shelter, with the Avon running beside them, this was a natural spot on the Plains, which by then was mostly ferns and tussocks after all the fires.
She says the brothers were aware of the importance of the bush, and when the Canterbury settlers arrived, they gave half of the area to them, while holding onto the other half.
“Because it was one of the few sources of timber and firewood on the Plains, the settlers’ half disappeared within a year of the settlement of Christchurch, which made the Deans brothers even more aware of the importance of hanging on to what they had.”
Their philosophy back then was to use only dead wood for firewood, and once the houses had been build, they restricted the use of fencing timber from the forests to fallen trees.
They consciously preserved as much as they could, and when John Deans died in 1854, his dying wish was that what was left should be preserved as much as possible.
His widow, Jane Deans, took care of the bush for decades, but she also planted exotic trees such as oaks to maintain the canopy. But by the 1880s, she had already realised that it was a mistake as the oaks were suppressing the regrowth of native seedlings.
In 1914, the family gifted Riccarton Bush to the city of Christchurch and it was formally protected. Since then, the Riccarton Bush Trust has managed the site, and decades later, the oaks were felled amid controversy, including tree sit-ins.
Joanna Orwin says the bush is now surrounded by a predator-proof fence to help restore its vegetation as close to a natural state as possible, and it has become one of the city’s important green spaces following the Canterbury earthquakes.

One Of The Lonely Ones by Roy Orbison
BODY:

EXTENDED BODY:
Nick Bollinger searches through a 'lost' album of the late Roy Orbison.
Though his career kicked off in his Texas birthplace, and gained traction with some singles cut for Sam Phillips’s Sun records in the wake of Elvis, it was his early sixties recordings that defined Roy Orbison. Records like ‘Running Scared’ and ‘In Dreams’ were almost without precedent; songs full of passion and paranoia, played like three-minute psychological dramas. And that place was still home to Roy when he cut this ‘lost’ album in 1969.
Why it was never released remains a mystery. Perhaps it has something to do with the tragedy that overshadowed his career in this period. (In 1966 he lost his first wife in a motorcycle accident; two years later both his sons died in a house fire.) Or perhaps some bean-counter at the record label had simply decided this stuff wasn’t selling enough anymore. Either way, it’s all going on in these forgotten recordings: the combination of country music and urbane, almost Italian-esque pop, beautifully executed by peerless session pro’s with Orbison’s voice soaring operatically above it all.

Myths 001 by Connan Mockasin & Devonte Hynes
A couple of new EPs are the result of fruitful collaborations between musicians, several of them New Zealanders, who have been getting out in the world. The Mockasin/Hynes venture is just a three-song set, cut earlier this year as part of the Marfa Myths festival, an annual cultural event centred on the West Texas town of Marfa. The event saw Te Awanga-born Mockasin and North Londoner Hynes – who usually records as Blood Orange - holed up together in a studio for a week. And these two individualists find a comfortable meeting in a silky 70s-style funk. Totalling 12 minutes in length, the only real disappointment is that there isn’t more of it.
Songs played: Feelin’ Lovely, La Fat Fur, Big Distant Crush
Hurtling Through by Tiny Ruins & Hamish Kilgour
Hurtling Through was recorded some time late last year in New York, and is a collaboration between Auckland-based Tiny Ruins (otherwise known as Holly Fullbrook) and long-time expat and New York resident Hamish Kilgour, best known as drummer in The Clean. The opener, ‘Tread Softly’, might be the EP’s standout track: Fullbrook’s setting of a poem by W.B. Yeats, to which her beautiful guitar part lends a truly Nick Drake quality. But there are other great songs here too, with Kilgour providing just the right percussive accompaniment and adding a few other atmospheric sounds as well. I’ve always liked Fullbrook’s records as Tiny Ruins, but there’s a refinement to them, a precision quality, which has made them seem like beautiful statues; objects to be admired rather than handled. But this record, with its rough edges showing, is more tactile; it invites you to get right up close.

Nick Bollinger embarks on a hometown tour from Manhattan's 'anti-folk' singer Jeffrey Lewis
Jeffrey Lewis a New York City native and most of the songs on his new album are set on the Manhattan streets where he grew up. His music has been called acoustic punk or anti-folk, but it’s basically Lewis spinning his real-life yarns, in a way that seems somehow melodic, even when his tunes comprise no more than a couple of notes.
If Lewis’s songs are usually written in the first-person and have a strong sense of autobiography about them, they are not as deliberately artless as those of, say, Sun Kil Moon’s Mark Kozalek. Lewis still takes the trouble to rhyme them up and shape them into appealing pop-like constructions, complete with hooks and choruses.
The bright immediacy and carefully picked-out details of Lewis’s songwriting employ a craft he might have honed in his other artistic endeavour, which is drawing comics. And, in a way, his songs are like little musical cartoons. But the album’s centrepiece is its moodiest track: ‘Back To Manhattan’ is a breakup story that follows a couple through a walk across the city in the dying moments of their relationship, and Lewis takes his time, maintaining that same unvarying walking tempo as he spins his long laconic narrative, like Lou Reed if he had been more concerned with the mundane details of daily life.
