Insight: Fighting the Pacific's Rising Seas
BODY:
Chris Bramwell visits nations in the Pacific facing an uncertain future due to sea level rise.
EXTENDED BODY:
People living on the tiny Pacific islands of Kiribati and Tuvalu are fighting against rising seas for their very existence. How should the region prepare for its uncertain future, and what can be done to help?
The tiny village of Eita sits on the coast of the main island of Kiribati.
Surrounded by mangroves and depressions in the land, the villagers eke out their existence by constantly lifting the level of their floors above the ever-encroaching king tides.
The senior pastor of the village church, Eria Maerere, says when the community first arrived there in 1980, the king tides were never a problem, but now they regularly inundate their homes.
"When we first heard about the rise of the sea-level, we thought that somebody made up a story, but at the beginning of the year 2000, that's when we begin to realise that it is not a fiction, it is a true story.
"Sometime around the year 2000 we had the first big king tide, where the water swept in and all the floors of the houses were breached with the water.
"All the families had to get up early in the morning because all the water had washed their mats, their pillows and all that."
The United Nations warns that if sea-level rise continues at the current rate, the Pacific atolls of Kiribati and Tuvalu could be completely submerged within decades.
Professor James Renwick from Victoria University of Wellington says sea levels in the western tropical Pacific have risen faster than just about anywhere on Earth.
"As the sea-level rises even by a few centimetres, a king tide or a storm surge can come much further inland."
It is very hard to predict at what point the low-lying atolls will become uninhabitable, Prof Renwick says.
"One of the things about the way some of these physical systems work in the tropics, the strengthening of trade winds and so on, can actually lead to the accretion of sand on some of the atolls, and some of the islands in the Pacific have actually been observed to be getting bigger.
"So it's a complicated story, but as the sea-level continues to rise and if we don't limit greenhouse gas emissions soon and the rising sea-level accelerates ... then the low-lying atolls could become uninhabitable by the end of the century at the very latest."
Betio Hospital on Kiribati's main island of Tarawa provides emergency and general medical care, as well as maternity, pharmacy and dental services.
The tiny hospital has suffered flooding from king tides more frequently in the past 10 years, but last February a particularly high tide destroyed its maternity ward, toilet block and part of the sea-wall built to protect it.
A nurse at the hospital, Teri Eromanga, says while staff do get advance notice of when the sea is likely to inundate the wards, she worries for her patients.
"It floods right into the wards, flooded the patients on the floor - we try to lift them onto something, but all their things are wet with the sea.
"We are safe now because we have a sea-wall, but I am worried because the tides get stronger and stronger, that is my worry."
Labour MP S'ua William Sio, who visited Kiribati and Tuvalu earlier this year, says the rising sea is affecting more than just people's homes or commercial property.
"You can't grow food crops properly, or have a fully-functioning agriculture industry, the seawater is [intruding] into the underground freshwater aquifers."
But Mr Sio says the people of Kiribati and Tuvalu are resilient.
"They're doing the best they can despite the overwhelming weight that is obviously on the leadership of the country.
"You can sense and feel that weight, they are fighting for the very survival of their countries, they are fighting for the very survival of their people."
Taking the land back
New Zealand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) is working on a major project on Kiribati: the Temaiku Bight reclamation.
If it goes ahead, it will reclaim 327 hectares, lifting land in the area to 2m above current levels.
The early estimates are that it will cost $88 million and can be completed by 2020, but MFAT needs other international partners to help fund the project.
In Tuvalu, south of Kiribati, the New Zealand government has also been involved in the filling of huge 'borrow pits' on the main island of Funafuti, which were dug by American troops during World War II.
The pits have filled with water, becoming very polluted, affecting groundwater and the quality of life for residents.
New Zealand paid for the rubbish to be compacted and the pits filled, which has resulted in an 8 percent increase in usable land on the island.
Raising the level of the land by a few metres, however, is an interim solution if current sea-level rise projections are correct.
New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully insists people in the Pacific don't want to leave their land, so aid is best spent helping them live more sustainably.
Labour's S'ua William Sio says government representatives in the Pacific have also told him that migration is a last resort, but that they know they have to think outside the box.
Climate change refugees might not be a serious issue right now, he says - but they will become one, and countries like New Zealand should start preparing for that time.

Forty years ago today Major Olufemi Olutoye announced that Nigeria would be boycotting the Montreal Olympics in protest at New Zealand's participation. Twenty seven countries followed suit. Sitting in the audience was a young Kiwi anti-apartheid activist, Dave Wickham, who had worked studiously to bring the boycott about following the All Black tour of South Africa in 1976. Dave Wickham, Canadian historian and sports journalist Ron Palenski reflect on the boycott 40 years on. Historical audio courtesy of Nga Taonga Sound & Vision, Youtube and CBC website.
EXTENDED BODY:
While many New Zealanders will remember the Montreal Olympics for the gold medal winning performances of John Walker and the men's hockey team, it also holds and ominous place in our sporting history.
Forty years ago, Major Olufemi Olutoye announced that Nigeria would be boycotting the Montreal Olympics in protest at New Zealand's participation.
Twenty seven countries followed suit.
Earlier in the year the All Blacks had toured South Africa in defiance of United Nations' calls for a sporting embargo.
A group African nations had demanded that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) exclude New Zealand from the Olympics because of the tour.
But the IOC refused and New Zealand athletes competed as usual – which led to the boycott.
Former anti-apartheid activist, Dave Wickham, and Canadian historian and sports journalist Ron Palenski talk to Wallace Chapman about the boycott.

Jim McAloon - Labour's Turbulent Times
BODY:
Labour is Aotearoa's oldest political party and this month marks its centenary. Jim McAloon is an associate professor in history at Victoria University and has been a member of the Labour party for 25 years. Along with Peter Franks, he has chronicled the party's bumpy history in Labour: The New Zealand Labour Party 1916-2016. The book covers the party from its beginnings in the trade union movement, its rise to power in the 1930s and the reforms of Michael Joseph Savage, to the Kirk and Rowling years of the 70s, the upheaval of the Lange government in the 80s, through to long-serving leader Helen Clark in the 90s and into the present day.
EXTENDED BODY:
New Zealand's oldest political party this month marks its centenary, and a new book by Jim McAloon and Peter Franks tells its story.
Labour has seen it all in its 100 years - from the innovative Savage government, to the radical Rogernomic policies of the 1980s Lange government that threatened to destroy the party, to the nine-year term of the Clark government.
Mr McAloon, an associate professor in history at Victoria University, has been a member of the Labour party for 25 years. Along with employment mediator Peter Franks, he has chronicled the party's bumpy history in Labour: The New Zealand Labour Party 1916-2016.
The book covers the party from its beginnings in the trade union movement, its rise to power in the 1930s and the reforms of Michael Joseph Savage's government, to the Kirk and Rowling years of the '70s, the upheaval of the Lange government in the '80s, through to long-serving leader Helen Clark in the '90s and into the present day.
Speaking to Wallace Chapman on Sunday Morning, Mr McAloon said the party was born not just among miners in Blackball on the West Coast, but in many other places in the years leading up to 1916.
He said the moves to form a workers' party in the early years of the 20th century came from a feeling that the Liberals wouldn't be able to deliver what working people needed, dissatisfaction with wages and working conditions as well as "a good deal of utopian thinking".
Mr McAloon said Labour grew out of the idea of socialism as Christianity applied - love your neighbour as yourself - but its socialism was more radical than in other parts of the world.
He puts the movement's innovative policies down to the advanced nature of ideas being debated in New Zealand at the time, and the smallness of the country which allowed those ideas to gain currency.
But Mr McAloon stressed that New Zealand was never intellectually isolated and people in the movement were debating Marx, French and German socialists, as well as English ethical socialists, "and I think it just rubbed off on them".
The party's most revered leader, Michael Joseph Savage, led Labour to a resounding victory in 1935, promising to help those brought low by the desperation of the depression years.
The first Labour government introduced one of the first social security systems in the Western world, followed in 1936 by a landslide of legislation aimed at stimulating the economy, including a programme of building state houses.
Subsequent Labour episodes included the "black budget" of Arnold Nordmeyer after which Labour was out of power until Norman Kirk's "progressive humanitarian nationalism" - and internationalism - in his government of the early 1970s.
Mr McAloon said David Lange's government projected the Christian humanitarian language which made it possible to see him as "Norm Kirk Mark II".
But significant mistakes were made through the neoliberal excesses of the 1980s, he said. Mr Lange was sold on the idea that the economy was in peril and had to be liberalised. It was at first a pragmatic approach and Mr Lange genuinely believed the economy would be fixed in the first term while the second term would focus on social policy.
But by 1986, Finance Minister Roger Douglas was "getting up a head of steam", Mr McAloon said, with sweeping privatisation that went even further under National in the 1990s.
In that second term, he said, Mr Lange proved unable to control a Cabinet that included neoliberal purists such as Mr Douglas, Richard Prebble, Michael Bassett and David Caygill (although Mr McAloon said out the latter was not in favour of neoliberal approaches to social policy).
It was not until Ms Clark's spectacular rise as leader, from unauspicious beginnings, that Labour was able to win power again in 1999. Mr McAloon said she managed to unify a "very fractured party" and her experience as leader "demonstrates the importance of holding your nerve".
Mr McAloon said the past few years had been very difficult for Labour, and the party led by Andrew Little faced significant social and economic challenges.
But he said a strong social democratic party was a form of politics embedded in Western political systems, and there was still a space for the party in the future.
If it wound up now, what would be the legacy?
"An independent and outward-looking Aotearoa especially in foreign policy and showing that it is possible to balance economic growth with social justice."

"The...Swandri. I think every male in Te Araroa has a Swandri I have one myself, I didn't realise how comfortable it was til I bought one, they are really marvellous. A good many women in Te Araroa have a Swandri too. I think it’s the uniform of the whole coast too, the Swandri is so easy and warm.
- Alwyn Owen in conversation with Bob McConnell, Te Araroa, 1989.
In 1989, Alwyn Owen visted Te Araroa on the East Coast. It was one year since Cyclone Bola and unemployment had hit the locals hard.
Access Training schemes were available, and the industry of the time was farming. But the people still lead busy lives.
There was a “religious” rugby community, there were fundraising campaigns for local marae, and pig hunting was popular.
"We'll go out into the moonlight, in the night time when the pigs come out...once a dog has latched onto the pig, it's not all that hard....go in with your knife, stick him, pull him on the horse and you're away." - Jimmy Kururangi
Alwyn visited the town to give impressions about its people.
There's the young slightly unorthodox doctor, the tea ladies serving up creamed paua and bubu's, and the dog that everyone knows called Twinkle.
"The old name for Te Araroa was Kawakawa mai Tawhiti a lot of māori names around here have mai tawhiti after them, meaning brought from afar names came with Māori coming from far distance places." - Bob McConnell
