Darrin Hodgetts on 'welfare with a big stick'
BODY:
Darrin Hodgetts is Professor of Societal Psychology at Massey University. He's critical of what he calls the "victim blaming, punitive approach" to welfare in Aotearoa, which is punishing the poor for being poor, and he's calling for a more caring and humane approach to those suffering in poverty. Urban poverty, penal welfare and health inequalities, by Professor Hodgetts and Dr Ottilie Stolte from the University of Waikato, is due out later this year.
EXTENDED BODY:
After researching poverty internationally for over 20 years, Darrin Hodgetts finds a "victim-blaming, punitive approach" to welfare in his home country New Zealand, where the poor are punished for being poor.
Professor Hodgetts talks with Wallace Chapman about the need for a more caring and humane approach to New Zealanders in poverty.

Insight: Fraud, Fees and Student Visas
BODY:
Insight - John Gerritsen investigates reports of fraud among study applications from India. Are authorities over-reacting or is New Zealand's international education market being rorted?
EXTENDED BODY:
Insight - The work and residence rights that go with study visas to New Zealand have attracted thousands of what Immigration New Zealand suspects are dodgy applications from India.
But, at the same time, the government wants this country's international education market to reach an annual income of $5 billion a year.
Should more be done to protect the industry - and the students within it?
Rain is bringing a chill to the Wellington Institute of Technology's main campus in Petone, but Rosline from Kerala in India says she's enjoying the cold of a Hutt Valley winter. It's a different experience, she says.
A fellow student, Ranjit from Punjab, says he's impressed by New Zealand's rules and regulations. Prameela, from Kochin, agrees. "People are more disciplined," she says.
There's a quiet excitement about these students, the sense of adventure that goes with travelling half-way around the world to study in another country.
Tens of thousands end up here every year and, to do so, they've had to work through a system of agents whose work can sometimes be questionable.
While most students are full of optimism, it's quite different for another group of Indian students I meet on an equally wet day in a lawyer's office in Auckland.
This time, the sense is one of desperation, even shock, and there are no smiles from these three students. For them, the dream of overseas travel, education and perhaps immigration has taken a turn toward nightmare.
Immigration New Zealand has discovered that the students' study visa applications included fraudulent financial documents, and it has told them to leave the country before they are deported.
The men say their agents faked the documents without their knowledge and they want to stay in New Zealand.
"How can I face my parents," asks one of the men, close to tears. "I'm unable to concentrate on anything," says another.
The two groups of young people represent two very different aspects of a boom that has taken Indian student enrolments from 12,000 in 2013 to more than 29,000 last year.
Enrolments are growing spectacularly at private tertiary institutions and polytechnics, and the students are estimated to be spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year on fees and living costs.
But Immigration New Zealand is turning down thousands of study visa applications from Indians it does not believe are really coming here to study.
It has also detected applications where the documents proving families have enough money to support their students while they are in New Zealand are faked or fraudulent.
Munish Sekhri is an education agent and licensed immigration agent, and he's not surprised by the problems New Zealand is encountering.
"We were sitting on a time bomb and it's just blown up."
Mr Sekhri says New Zealand made the mistake of loosening English-language requirements for foreign students in 2013, resulting in a surge of dodgy applications from India.
The rules have been tightened, but the damage has been done.
"A lot of shoddy agents had came out in the market, it was just like mushrooming after a rainfall," he says.
"Those are the ones who know that this is a lucrative industry, let's stick to it, let's do anything dodgy, anything that gets a student into New Zealand."
Mr Sekhri says the government should require some form of licensing for education agents, just as it does for immigration agents.
But the Minister for Tertiary Education, Steven Joyce, has ruled that out, saying there's a degree of self-interest in immigration agents' call for licensing.
Instead, he's banking on changes to the Code of Practice that institutions must sign up to if they want to enrol foreign students.
The changes came into effect on 1 July, and Mr Joyce says they will make it easier for the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) to hold institutions responsible for their actions and those of their agents.
He says institutions that don't behave could be removed from the code, preventing them from enrolling international students at all.
"What this does is make sure that NZQA, with supporting information from Immigration New Zealand, as the code administrator will be able to say 'no we're not happy with the practices here and if we don't see a very significant change you're placing your whole future at risk'."
But more might be needed.
Allegations of dodgy practice by some international education providers have been around for a long time and other institutions are frustrated by what they see as a lack of action.
'Very determined rogue operators'
Paul Chalmers is the spokesperson for the Auckland International Education Group, a group of about 30 private institutions specialising in the foreign student market.
"We have been consistently undermined by the practices of a number of small providers that are working with agents to allow students leeway that they should not be allowed," he says.
He says institutions are not bothering to ensure students attend classes, are giving them qualifications they have not earned, and are working with agents who charge the students for job placements.
Mr Chalmers says Immigration New Zealand has increased its spot-checks of institutions, but it should combine its audits with those of NZQA.
"If we can combine those two programmes and perhaps get TEC [Tertiary Education Commission] involved, we think that that would see an end to shonky providers," he says.
"We're recommending secret shoppers for the very determined rogue operators in the industry and I believe that the monitoring that is now occurring, a combined auditing programme and secret shoppers will see these guys put out of business."
NZQA says it intervenes directly where it has evidence that a provider is not meeting its obligations to provide quality education or protect the interests of its students.
It says, since 1 July 2015, 40 formal complaints about signatories to the Code of Practice have resulted in investigations at 34 institutions and 12 statutory interventions.
The statutory interventions included ordering institutions to provide financial documents or stop sub-contracting other organisations to do their teaching.
But, in most of the cases, NZQA simply asked for the education providers' side of the story, and concluded there was no problem.
However, the authority says changes to the Code of Practice have strengthened its arm.
"From 1 July, NZQA will also have new powers and will be able to remove or suspend a provider as a signatory to the Code of Practice, meaning the provider will no longer be able to enrol international students."
In addition, the authority says in August it will introduce a new, mandatory focus area on international students for its audits of tertiary institutions.
Too much pressure to seek international cash?
Tertiary Education Union president Sandra Grey is worried an over-reliance on international student enrolments is having a slow but inexorable impact on many honest high-quality education providers.
She says polytechnics and universities are so squeezed for cash that they are making allowances for international students because they don't want to lose their fees.
"Our members are seeing the pressures of their institutions having to get more international students and so they get subtle kind of cues to 'just admit that student into your course because, hey, they're not far off the mark and they'll catch up'.
"It may not be happening in large numbers yet, but the pressure is certainly there to bend the rules because the government has made our institutions reliant on international money."
But the chief executive of the two Wellington regional polytechnics, Weltec and Whitireia, Chris Gosling, disagrees.
He does not believe that institutions are feeling the pressure to pass foreign students, though he admits surprise that some institutions have 100 percent pass rates.
However, Mr Gosling is worried that people are losing sight of just how valuable international students are to New Zealand - and not in terms of the money they spend here.
"What gets forgotten in this whole debate is how important they are from an educational view. A New Zealand student from the Hutt Valley, coming to class and rubbing shoulders with students from India, from China, from Russia, from wherever, that's a fantastic learning experience for those students," he says.
"So I do worry that if we start getting a situation where there get to be a groundswell of thinking about international students in a negative sense, that will be bad for New Zealand and will be bad for institutions."
Education New Zealand is the organisation charged with building the foreign student business, and its chief executive, Grant McPherson, says 25-30,0000 Indian students are expected in New Zealand over the next year.
He says that, despite the problems New Zealand is currently encountering, the potential for helping India educate its growing population and workforce is huge.
"India by, I think it's by 2022, will have 500 million people coming into the workforce. A couple of years ago we met the minister for human resource development in India and he put that number out there. He said that's not an India problem, that's a global problem."

Snapping their way to success
BODY:
Fashion photographers in New Zealand are competing for limited opportunities in an increasingly congested market. Sonia Sly speaks to emerging photographers Luke Foley-Martin and James O'Neill about breaking into the fashion industry, and Aaron K, photographer and Director of AIPA speaks about the pros and cons of the online environment.
EXTENDED BODY:
Making a career of fashion photography takes initiative, passion and perseverance. With talent added to the mix the likelihood of opportunities knocking at your door may increase, but not unless you've done the hard yards. Plus competition in the professional photography arena has intensified with the availability of good cheap cameras.
Three New Zealand fashion photographers at different stages in their careers share their perspective on what it takes to break into the industry.
Luke Foley-Martin (17) - Winner of Top Aspiring Fashion Photographer, New Zealand Fashion Week 2015
"My focus is runway photography, editorial, corporate and commercial work ranging from magazine covers for up-and-coming brands through to Mercedes Benz. My dad was a professional photographer for 30 years [and] I wanted to become photographer. I got a lot of help from my dad, and now I’m working with mentors such as David Shields and Lisa Harrington who are big names in New Zealand photography. I’m still in high school, so I have to balance study with my professional career. For anyone starting out I recommend being persistent and you’ve got to prove that you’re good. I’m still proving that. I don’t have time to go to parties or to do anything, but to be honest I’d just prefer to do my own thing and progress in my career."
See more of Luke's work on his website.
James O'Neill (23) - Massey University graduate, 2016
"I love working in a team environment and if I’m not doing the styling, then I love working with a stylist and hair and makeup and the model, as well. I love collaborating with people who are similar-minded. Collaborating is the best way to go about getting connections. Even if it means working for free I don’t mind if I'm working with friends. For a shoot we'll borrow clothes from a cool local shop and just improvise and hope that everyone’s got the same vision. That’s why I like collaborating because you don’t have one view, but you have two or three different perspectives."
See more of James' work on his Facebook page.
Aaron K - professional photographer and executive director of the Advertising and Illustrative Photographers Association
"I’ve been in the industry for about 16 years [and] in the past the industry has been largely male-dominated, but that’s changing very rapidly. The way I shoot is quite illustrative and I create things, rather than capturing an image and I always like to plan. Today the barrier to enter the industry has evaporated because of digital technology, whereas when we were working with film you had limited chances to get the shot for your client, so you had to hit it every time. There are definitely a lot more wannabe fashion photographers every week now who are picking up a reasonably good digital camera and uploading their photos to a Facebook page or getting on Instagram and promoting themselves as fashion photographers and giving their work away for free to get in the door. It’s really easy these days with online tools, and I guess it’s smart if you can create a perception of yourself as being far more established than you really are."

The Gazettes went online back in 2014, but the bound copies of all the previous gazettes take up a fair chunk of space at the library, ready for researchers to explore. Lynn Freeman went to the National Library to talk to the publisher Michele Clarke and Manager, Bene Anderson:

1:33 Creative activism - can art make a difference?
Can art change the world? Should art make us feel uncomfortable, make us think, make us ask questions? These were among the big ideas debated recently at a get together of New Zealand high school students who took part in a creative activism competition. They met in Wellington where creative thinkers and activists from around the world were beamed in via skype to take part in a conversation that ranged from global issues to very personal ones - like the cost that young people can pay for standing out from the crowd. Dr Elspeth Tilley from Massey University organised the conference, and Lynn Freeman went along to meet her and the students.

1:50 Variety - the classic silent movie gets a new, live score
The German silent masterpiece Variety was a smash hit around the world when it came out in 1925 - as much for its ground-breaking camera work as for its melodrama. Oddly it was all about show business... That's right, it's a sort of silent musical. Quite a challenge then for Joe Contag, who has been commissioned to provide the live music score for the film, as one of the highlights for the Wellington International Film Festival. Simon Morris talks to Joe Contag about the film and its new music.

Journalist-turned-screenwriter and novellist Debra Daley has set her third bookThe Revelations of Carey Ravine in the midst of 1770s buccaneering London society.

There's a new playground for sonic artists and composers who want to experiment with more than conventional musical instruments - the 'sound dome'.

Māori Language Week
BODY:
Ko te reo te mauri o te mana Māori - the language is the very essence of being Māori. To acknowledge Māori Language Week Te Ahi Kaa features an archival recording of Sir James Henare from 1984 and Te Pou Theatre actors talk about staging Purapurawhetu in te reo Maori to mark Matariki and Māori Language Week.
EXTENDED BODY:
Ko te reo te mauri o te mana Māori. Ko te kupu te mauri o te reo Māori. E rua ēnei wehenga kōrero e hāngai tonu ana ki runga i te reo Māori. Ko te reo, nō te Atua mai.
"The language is the life force of the mana Māori. The word is the life force of the language. These two ideas are crucial to the Māori language. A language that is a gift from God" – Sir James Clendon Tau Henare (1911-1989)
In this Te Ahi Kaa Māori Language Week special, actors talk about bringing a te reo version of Purapurawhetū to the stage and Northland leader Sir James Henare gives a heartfelt and humorous speech about the importance of language and culture (recorded in 1984).
Sir James Henare was born and raised in Motatau. His mother was Te Rarawa, Ngāti Kahu and Te Aupouri. His father Taurekareka Henare was Ngā Puhi and Ngāti Whatua. Recognised as a leader from a young age, Henare was educated at pākeha schools and taught in the Whare Wānanga at Ngati Hine, where he learned whakapapa, tikanga and stories of his hapū. He attended Sacred Heart College in Auckland, where he was one of only two Māori students. In his early 20s he married Roiho Keretene, the betrothal was a tomo (arranged marriage).
Henare served in World War II and upon his return home after 1946 became involved in public service. He formed close ties with prominent Māori figures of the time and played an active role in the royal tours of 1953-1954 and 1963.
He held a number of posts and positions and often represented Te Tai Tokerau (the Northern electorate) at national meetings. In 1984 he travelled to New York with the Te Māori exhibition and was instrumental in the language revitalisation of the Kōhanga Reo movement.
“Whatever our hopes are our dreams and I hope those dreams will be turned into action for our children our young people and their education that we remember that if we’re not to end up like many races overseas then we have got to think in terms of our children our young people and our grandchildren being taught their own culture” - Sir James Henare
In 1984 Sir James Henare attended Hui Mātauranga Māori hosted by Turangawaewae Marae. During his heartfelt and humorous speech in both English and te reo Māori, he spoke about the importance of teaching children their culture and language, he explained that from this action they will go out in the world knowing where they come from. In this archival recording he reflects upon his earlier life in Motatau and makes a few quips in te reo Māori about balancing life on the farm and the social scene of the time.
“Many of the difficulties that our young people are being confronted with today stem from the fact that most of them have no knowledge of their culture. Until they can have pride in their own background we’re going to have much more of the kind of difficulties we are faced with. We’ve got to restore to them the pride of their race, and you can only do so by them knowing their own culture” - Sir James Henare
Actor Rawiri Paratene has performed on stage and screen for many years. He presented the pre-school programme Playschool in the late 1970s, and featured in the movies Whale Rider, The Insatiable Moon, and What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?. In 2012 Rawiri was part of the Māori theatre ensemble Ngakau Toa who performed Toroihi rāua Ko Kāhira (Troillus and Cressida) at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. To celebrate Matariki, Rawiri is reprising his role as Hōhepa in Briar Grace-Smiths play Purapurawhetū – a role he last played in 2010. The play was staged as part of the Matariki events calendar and coincides with Māori Language Week. Rawiri was 18 years old on the first Māori Language Day in 1972.
“It came out of the protest movement… When we presented the petition it was instigated by Hana Te Hemara. I worked along with the Te Reo Māori society of Vic Uni (Victoria University) back then, and the driving force of that protest movement was Nga Tamatoa.”
Actor and producer Amber Curreen first found out that there was a Māori translation of the play written by Te Ohorere Kaa and Wiremu Kaa commissioned by Te Ipukarea – the Māori Language Institute at Auckland University of Technology. Always on the lookout for ways to improve her Māori language skills, Amber set about bring the reo version to the stage.
Director Tainui Tukiwaho says the cast of Purapurawhetū have double the amount of work, learning two scripts with two languages.
“There are two audiences we are looking to cater (for) and they have two very different needs. Our reo speakers who are Māori, generally speaking, theatre is quite a foreign space. And there’s pākeha who like to come to theatre, but need to move past the barrier about te reo Māori being something that may be inaccessible” - Tainui Tukiwaho
Tainui Tukiwaho founded the company Ruia Taitea Creative which runs Te Pou Theatre in New Lynn. In 2011 Tainui portrayed Billy T James in the television movie Billy. He is excited about the potential for delivering theatre in te reo Māori.
“We have audiences out there who are very hungry to cheer and own our reo with us, which is a very exciting time to be artists and making things for the masses” - Tainui Tukiwaho
