The future of Te Reo
BODY:
Professor Paul Moon has just written a book documenting the history of Te Reo in Aotearoa once the first colonists arrived in Aotearoa. He takes Wallace on a journey through the Maori language and the struggle it had to survive. A struggle, he says, is nowhere near over.
EXTENDED BODY:
According to historian Paul Moon, Te Reo's struggle for survival is far from over in 2016.
On 5 April Te Ururoa Flavell announced an amendment to the Māori Language Bill that would acknowledge how the Crown's actions contributed to a decline in Te Reo and had a detrimental impact through the generations on how the language was spoken. Despite calls from the Opposition, the amendment stops short of an apology. Prime Minister John Key says the government recognises it has a legal obligation to preserve the language.
Paul Moon has just released a timely book about how the arrival of colonists transformed Māori language - Ka Ngaro Te Reo: Māori Language Under Siege in the 19th Century.
Read an edited snapshot of their conversation below:
Paul, let's go back to the year 1800. What was the situation with regards to Te Reo Māori?
It was very healthy by any measure, because it was the only language spoken in New Zealand. There were no settlers in the country...
It was the official language.
Effectively. But it actually jumped out of New Zealand about nine years earlier. In 1791 or so the Governor of Norfolk Island had produced a Māori dictionary based on Māori who'd visited Norfolk Island. So there was already a 200-word dictionary in existence before any Europeans had settled in New Zealand.
And here we have this oral language, whereas writing... And this is really fascinating, this is the key point of the book. There's this juxtaposition between the oral and the written. Writing was the medium of the coloniser. So this had profound implications, didn’t it - how knowledge was stored, who was saying it, how it was passed on down so things could be accurate. It was an oral language.
Definitely. And I think people tend to underestimate the power of writing. When you have an entire social system that's based on certain people holding knowledge on behalf of the whole community their position is sacred. It's very hard to get into that very elite group. And all of a sudden you can have anyone possessing even more knowledge, because it' written. The way you transmit knowledge changes. It no longer has to be wrote-learned. It no longer has to take place in certain ceremonies. Now it can just be written. It can be mass produced. And all of these sort of things undermined traditional Māori social structure, but at the same time without writing the language could have been even worse off.
You say in the book that even in 1940 Āpirana Ngata noted that his people still liked committing spoken words to memory, rather than reading them. More poetic, more of an old-time narrative?
That's right, and that was at the tail end. The 1940s was when that just about died out. There are still a few examples. It hasn't quite died out completely. But by and large now, text dominates everything.
You say that language carried on paper was mildly miraculous to Māori who were encountering literacy for the first time. So that must have been an extraordinary part of New Zealand history, to actually see the first texts come through and see the reaction to that.
That's right, and it's something that... When we get the junk mail out of our letterbox we take for granted that words can appear in a physical form. But for this entire society for centuries there was no conception of that. So it almost had magical properties. And the fact that you could transport your thoughts in a physical form, take them somewhere else, it's almost beyond belief .And it was for some people. They saw texts – initially some Māori did – as having these supernatural properties because of that.

The Week In Parliament for 10 April 2016
BODY:
Government rejects allegations that New Zealand is a tax haven, the subject of many questions from Opposition parties. Their requests for an urgent debate on the allegations is rejected by the Speaker, David Carter, who also declines a Greens request for a snap debate on the government's proposal to sell 45% of Kiwibank's shares to ACC and the Super Fund. Co-incidentally, a member's bill preventing privatisation of Kiwibank without support of 75% MPs or after a national referendum is reported back ready for its second reading. A member's bill exempting RSA's from having to get a special licence to sell alcohol on Anzac Day mornings is put through all its stages. A private bill enabling the transfer of assets, property, interests, powers, and obligations from the Associated Churches of Christ Church Extension and Property Trust Board to the Christian Churches New Zealand Property Trust Board is given a third and final reading. A special housing project in Auckland runs into opposition in the committee rooms while former National and ACT Party leader, Don Brash, is blunt in his criticisms of the government's RMA reforms. Winston Peters is ejected twice from the debating chamber.

Kate Sylvester talks career, inspiration and making mistakes
BODY:
At iD Fashion Week 2016 New Zealand designer Kate Sylvester showed her AW16 collection 'A Muse' inspired by the work of Picasso. She also presented a talk at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery about her connection with art and literature and the way it informs her collection, plus the highs and lows of starting out in the fashion industry and making mistakes along the way.
EXTENDED BODY:
How one of New Zealand's top designers creates a collection.
LISTEN: Kate Sylvester talks about her connection with the art world.
Kate Sylvester began her career hand sewing screen-printed t-shirts with a punk rock edge.
The Massey fashion design alumni advertised her first streetwear brand Sister via graffiti on the streets of Auckland. Later, she presented her more refined womenswear collections on the runway at New Zealand Fashion Week.
The Auckland designer can attest that building a brand from scratch isn’t easy.
In a consumer-driven society where customers get bored very quickly and often own more clothes than they need or have time to wear, Sylvester finds herself on a treadmill racing against time and the changing of seasons – the only way to play the game of fashion – in search of inspiration.
Art, she says, is a primary source for finding something new and exciting.
“I look at the world around me and I find something each season that I want to tell a story about. I reference music, movies... I’m a huge book nerd and I come back to art again and again."
Once inspiration strikes the next port of call is making sure that the story behind a collection is cohesive, and most importantly, that the garments actually work.
“We test everything and get all of our staff in the workroom to try things on and figure out what works and what doesn’t according to different body types.”
But pulling together a collection for presentation is a different ball game.
Kate learnt the hard way early on and knows that the key to putting on a show is creating something that an audience can understand and connect with. The designer says she was ahead of her time for one presentation at New Zealand Fashion Week.
“We created a collection based on minimalist sheers with lots of cutaway slashes, peep holes and slip dresses. We made boob tubes out of hosiery and for the show [we had] all the models come out and challenge the audience just like in a Vanessa Beecroft installation.”
She says the idea was strong, but her timing was terrible.
“It tanked big time! [But] we know it was a really great idea because Vanessa Beecroft has done the last two Kanye West shows with Yeezy doing exactly this.”
For Sylvester, this experience was one of the toughest commercial lessons she ever learnt – not only was the show a flop, but the collection was unsuccessful once it hit the racks.
“When we did this, it was just at the start of the boho thing after the minimalism of the '90s. I learnt this incredibly important lesson [in that] you’ve got to keep a strong voice and you can’t just go off on crazy artistic tangents. We have to be commercial and if you’re not sending a strong message to retailers and customers, they get confused and if you’re not on-trend the press don’t know what to do with you.”

Every day, police officers have to perform this most difficult of tasks. And every day, families receive that knock at the door which means their lives will never be the same again.
Vin Ray hears powerful first-hand testimony from both sides of this terrible equation - the police and army officers charged with breaking the worst possible news to unsuspecting families, and the families themselves. What is the right way of telling someone that a loved one has been killed, and how do you deal with unexpected responses – from shock to outright violence? What does it do to an officer to have to deliver traumatic news again and again? And how can faith help both sides deal with such a devastating experience?

Māori Innovation - Kanikani Kids
BODY:
Kanikani Kids is a small business run by Otaki couple Leigh and Tahi Rau. They make colourful and individually designed kapahaka uniforms for pre-schools. What started out as a business to make ends meet has become their small enterprise.
EXTENDED BODY:
Leigh Rau saw a niche in the kapahaka ‘market’ when she found herself on Kapiti Island and her sister, a weaver, made a child-sized piupiu (a skirt with strands that hang from a belt). The contemporary design so piqued her interest that she set about making pre-school kapahaka uniforms and selling these at the markets in Porirua.
Leigh took a chance and showed the designs to three local kindergartens, who were impressed and made bulk orders. It was this positive reception to her designs that Leigh and her husband Tahi created a small business called Kanikani Kids.
Leigh says she owes her creative side to her inventive family and their ‘number 8’ wire mentality.
When Leigh and Tahi's daughter Aroha was two years old, Leigh decided to give up her work as a nurse, and at around the same time, Tahi had a workplace accident and was bedridden for a while. To make ends meet, Leigh decided to make a good go of the business. Her business mentor Daphne Luke would create the business plan, and the local market would include the local kindergartens and Kohanga Reo in the Horowhenua district. It wasn't too long before the orders started coming in and the business diversified to include headbands, dresses, poi and rakau.
"One of the things that we hold onto its that it's family based, we've got a brother that works with us, my sister Susan is great in designing, my dad helps us and the other brother helped designed a stretch machine for the fabric" - Leigh Rau.
Leigh and Tahi work together and Leigh says it's a good partnership, although she admits that she is the 'slash and burn' kind of worker, whereas Tahi is the fussy type, Tahi says that each and every poi is made with four plaits. It is time-consuming, but each and every poi is run through their fingers. Surprisingly Leigh doesn't have any experience in sewing. Kanikani Kids employs three people in two workshops.
In 2010, they won 'Best Whanau Business' in the Horowhenua area. The couple bought a lawnmowing business operated by Tahi. Future plans include diversifying the business. Leigh says Kanikani Kids is a job that she doesn't have to retire from when she hits 65, although Leigh says she is not sure if Tahi would want to keep on mowing lawns.
