Family court lawyer shortage 'reaching crisis point'
BODY:
The Law Society says the number of family court lawyers have dropped below a critical mass. That means in some regions of New Zealand there aren't enough lawyers willing to take on things like filing protection orders and acting for vulnerable children. Nine to Noon speaks to the Law Society's Michelle Duggan as well as two lawyers who are giving up on, or scaling back on their family law work. Caroline McCarthy is in Blenheim and Gareth Bodle has just packed up his Wairarapa office and moved to Auckland.
EXTENDED BODY:
The number of Family Court lawyers has dropped to the point where there aren't enough to file protection orders or act for vulnerable children, the Law Society is warning.
Over the last five years, there has been a 25 percent decrease nationally in the number of lawyers providing family legal aid services, with some saying it has reached crisis point.
The government, however, says the number of lawyers around the country is more than adequate to meet demand.
Law Society spokesperson Michelle Duggan told Nine to Noon the regional variation could be much worse than the national situation.
Marlborough, for example, had experienced a 64 percent drop since 2012. In the Wairarapa, the number of Family Court lawyers had dropped from 15 to seven in the last three years.
The situation was also "critical" on the West Coast, Ms Duggan said.
"The challenge of this work is that it's needed urgently. It isn't OK that people can get appointments but the appointments are two weeks out or three weeks out.
"When you're in an urgent situation, when there are safety issues, you need to see a lawyer - if not today, then tomorrow, so the documents can be prepared and orders hopefully made."
Blenheim-based lawyer Caroline McCarty said there were only three lawyers providing legal aid in her area and the situation was "in crisis".
"There's simply not the pool of lawyers to do that work, and the work is stressful, it's urgent and people are just not wanting to do it anymore."
She said the main issue was that the system operated with fixed-fee funding that covered only a certain number of hours for each step of the legal process.
"From my inquiries, and I did send a sort of SOS request around other law firms when things were just becoming so difficult for us to continue to take on the work, the response [to what is causing the problem] appears to be remuneration," she said.
"And I don't think it's just the new fixed-fee regime that came into place with legal aid, but it's the fact that the system of legal aid makes it very difficult to be adequately renunerated for the work that you're doing."
When lawyers inevitably went over the number of hours for which funding was provided, they had to go through the process of asking Legal Aid Services for more money, she said.
"I think it's just got to the stage where you have to keep asking for money to do your job well.
"People are not able to run businesses using a standard model of income versus liabilities and outgoings on the legal aid fixed-fee rate. It's just not feasible, and that's the feedback I've received from other law firms in Blenheim as well."
Aside from the issue of remuneration, the work was difficult and often urgent, she said.
"I think lawyers have just got to the stage where they are burnt out, and I can speak only really for Blenheim, where they're burnt out with doing that sort of work and are just not willing to accept it, and I'm in that boat as well."
That meant people were having to go outside the region to get the representation they needed, she said.
"We've found in Marlborough that they're having to go outside of the region. They're getting picked up fortunately by Nelson and Christchurch lawyers but of course they're not getting a face-to-face lawyer."
'There's just not enough of us and we're not funded'
Gareth Bodle, who provides family legal aid services, has just closed his Wairarapa law office and moved to Auckland.
He said, despite six months of advertising, nobody applied to take his place.
"I just had to stop taking instructions back in about March and just spent two or three months turning people away until I left.
"The cases I still have, I'm having difficulty find other lawyers to take, I'm still dealing with matters down in Wairarapa, Palmerston North, Wellington at present by phone. I'll appear in the Masterton Family Court this afternoon by phone because there's no one to take the cases.
"There's just not enough of us and we're not funded," he said.
He was most worried about what would happen if domestic violence victims couldn't get the help they needed.
"The domestic violence is probably the one that concerns me most because it is urgent and it kind of defies the nature of the work if you have to wait three to four weeks to get an appointment for an urgent protection order."
He said, if it took longer than about 24 to 72 hours to get an order, it became difficult for people to finish the process and other support services dissipated.
Law practices in bigger communities could balance legal aid with private fee-paying clients, Mr Bodle said.
"But in a place like the Wairarapa, and I guess Blenheim must have gone through the same process, where maybe 100 percent of your clients are legally aided, it's just not sustainable."
Changes to the funding system should be considered, he said.
"If you really want our most vulnerable families, our most impoverished families to have access to justice, you've got to be able to fund the lawyers there.
"I don't have the big solutions but, to my way of thinking, where there is a large percentage of legal aid users going through the courts, that the legal aid spend should be biased towards that - with some kind of subsidy for any application made in that court just to help fund that ability to have lawyers there for the people."
Government response
Associate Justice Minister Simon Bridges said there were more than 1000 lawyers approved to provide family legal aid throughout the country.
"The number of available lawyers is more than adequate to meet client demand."
He said, if gaps were found, Legal Aid Services ensured funding was available for lawyers from neighbouring regions to help.
"The government has recently invested in legal aid. Budget 2016 included $17.2 million to increase eligibility for civil and family legal aid - which will help an additional 2700 New Zealanders each year by 2018/19 - as well as $74.5m for the overall provision of legal aid."

In his book Imbeciles: The Supreme Court, American Eugenics, and the Sterilization of Carrie Buck, he lays out the history of American eugenics and its occasionally surprising proponents - which include several of the country's most famous presidents and Supreme Court justices. What's more, he says eugenics is still happening today.
Read an edited excerpt of the interview below:
What is the origin of eugenics?
It actually began in England and the word eugenics was coined by Francis Gallton, who was a half cousin of Charles Darwin and it kind of followed in some of the Darwinian traditions. Darwin had observed survival of the fittest in the natural world and Francis Carlton thought humans could actually take nature into their own hands by doing their own survival of the fittest; choosing who could reproduce and encouraging them to reproduce and choosing who should not reproduce and discouraging them. The idea was to use this control over who was born to create a better race of humanity.
Would people be surprised to hear who some of the proponents were?
Absolutely. Here in the United States, it was some of our finest people. Theodore Roosevelt, the great, progressive president, Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor and the presidents of Harvard and Stanford universities. Many socialists and progressive thinkers in England as well. It was actually a very popular, progressive movement, supported by a lot of the elites.
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood in the States I think was another. What was the reasoning though, of their advocacy of eugenics and their concept of eugenics?
The progressives were doing something that they considered to be progressive, which was looking at the advances of technology and science in this case and saying, how can we harness this scientific advancement for the betterment of humanity? They believed in using progress, they also believed in using government, so they thought, why not have government begin to use the genetic science to make a better society? So in some ways this sounded like a progressive idea, but of course, this was progressivism that really went off the rails.
In the United States, eugenics drove two major legal changes. What were they?
There were concerns about the threat to the nation from without, and threat to the nation from within. Eugenicists believed immigrants were bringing in bad genes and believed that certain nationalities had better genes than others.
In particular at that time in the 1920’s, they were worried about Italians, Eastern European Jews and Asians, who they thought were genetically less fit. The eugenicists were actually the driving force behind the adoption of the Immigration Act of 1924, which radically changed American immigration. It closed the door to those countries, Italy, Eastern Europe and Asia and opened the door more to Eastern Europe, so that the threat from without.
The threat from within, they were worried about the people who were already in the United States who would be bringing down the gene pool. They were worried about poor, disabled people, the deaf, the blind… and also in particular what they called the feeble-minded. They were afraid that the feeble-minded were taking over the country and they wanted to use eugenicists law to stop that.
And indeed they did. What happened with the legalisation of forced sterilisation? How did this come about?
The United States were actually the leaders in that, well before Nazi Germany. Louisiana in 1907 was the first state to pass eugenics sterilisation law and a bunch of states followed quickly there on. The idea was that people who fit into various categories that were listed in the statute - the deaf, the blind, the disabled, in some cases the alcoholic and even the indolent or the poor. So poor people were thought to be genetically inferior and could be sterilised. And then of course, the feeble-minded, which was this large amorphous category, that was used to label all sorts of people who the people in charge didn’t like. A lot of people were designated in these categories and a lot of people were sterilised.
Was there any political or media debate around this or was it just the groupthink of the time?
It’s surprising to me how much it was the groupthink of the time. There was widespread support in the medical community, widespread support from geneticists themselves, widespread support in the media… one of the few groups in the United States who opposed it were Catholics, and Catholics were reliably the ones who would show up at legislatures - nuns, priests, Catholic laypeople - to oppose genetic sterilisation bills and it was really for two reasons. One was the traditional Catholic reverence for the reproductive cycle, but the other was the Catholics believed that people should be judged on their inner qualities, their spiritual qualities and they didn’t agree with eugenicists that people should be judged by physical attributes that may or may not be designated fit or unfit. But other than the Catholics and the Catholic organisations, there was not a lot of opposition.

Push to allow hemp based foods in NZ
BODY:
You can smoke as much hemp as you like but it won't get you high. So says the local hemp industry, who say it's time New Zealand made the most of our ideal growing conditions for the plant, and the 50,000 industrial uses for hemp stalk and seeds. They're running a week of events to raise the profile of hemp as a legitimate crop. Richard Barge is the treasurer of the Hemp Industries Association.
EXTENDED BODY:
The local hemp industry says it is time New Zealand made the most of our ideal growing conditions for the plant, and the 50,000 industrial uses for hemp stalk and seeds.
The industry is running a week of events to raise the profile of hemp as a legitimate and potentially profitable crop.
Richard Barge treasurer of the Hemp Industries Association, says the industry has been legitimate in New Zealand since 2006 when trials were conducted.
So what is hemp?
“Industrial hemp which is which is low THC cannabis so we’re not a drug and we have a legal regulatory framework within which we can grow industrial hemp under licence,” he says.
There are two parts of the industrial form of hemp that can be used: the stalk which has an inner and outer part and the seeds.
Oil is derived from the seed which Richard says is high in essential fatty acids and minerals and considered a super food.
At the moment however it is illegal to sell as a food for human consumption, but it can be used as animal feed. An anomaly Richard hopes will soon change.
Its industrial uses include composites for 3D printing filaments, plastics, industrial fibres, automotive parts, textiles and ropes.
“As a fibre it is anti-static, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and it stops 95 percent of UV light - it’s quite a phenomenal fibre.”
Richard says New Zealand has the ideal growing conditions for this plant which can even, he says, remediate contaminated or poor soils.
So why aren’t more people growing it?
He says there is still some discomfort about growing the cannabis plant, albeit one low in THC, and there remains a lack of volume in the industry.
But he says there is a growing and global market for products made from this plant.

How fair is our tax system?
BODY:
All New Zealanders are Equal, but some are more equal than others'. It's the title of the 2016 Bruce Jesson lecture, which is being delivered by Lisa Marriott - an Associate Professor of Taxation at Victoria University of Wellington's School of Accounting and Commercial Law.
EXTENDED BODY:
'All New Zealanders are equal, but some are more equal than others.'
That's the title of the 2016 Bruce Jesson lecture, which is being delivered by Lisa Marriott - an associate professor of Taxation at Victoria University of Wellington’s School of Accounting and Commercial Law.
Lisa Marriott's research interests include social justice and inequality, and the behavioural impacts of taxation.
Tax evasion is a significant problem in New Zealand, with $1 billion deliberately unpaid tax detected, and possibly nine times that amount going undetected.
So why doesn't the Inland Revenue chase down more of this unpaid money.
"The Inland Revenue, to my mind, could be spending a lot more of their resources chasing down these missing funds. Although you do have to remember people go to extreme lengths to make sure they are not caught.
"But the Inland Revenue do have some pretty sophisticated resources these days to engage in the data analytics that allows them profile the types of people that might be engaging in tax evasion and to detect them," she says.
When it comes to welfare fraud, which causes much less economic harm than tax evasion, the Ministry of Social Development chases fraudsters down with the full force of the law. While the Inland Revenue might only bring 60 to 80 criminal prosecutions a year a lot of these cases never get to court.
"The overall job of the IR is to collect the largest amount of revenue at the lowest possible cost, prosecuting is probably not going to achieve either of those things. So only the most serious cases get prosecuted.
"The Ministry of Social Development does not have that same objective, their job is not to collect revenue, the opposite they have an expenditure role, they are an expense line of the government balance sheet."
So is it true that if you owe the government money, it is more likely to come and get it off you if you’re poor rather than rich?
Yes, Lisa says.
"Two to three years ago the amount written off in tax debt was $435 million, and the amount written off in welfare debt was $8.7 million."

Food on the Open Road - It could be argued that our global economy is in some ways, driven by drivers. That is, long-haul truckers who carry goods from one side of a country to another. But truck driving is a profession that is struggling to recruit new members and a lot of it has to do with lifestyle and what's available to eat. The BBC's Mike Johnson discovers that a lack of fresh food options, combined with a sedentary lifestyle and strict schedules, leave truck drivers facing a higher rate of obesity and a shortened life-span when compared to other professions. But some truck drivers are working to change that. Plus, we discover what it's like to eat on the road in the world's longest country, and get a lesson in cab cooking along the way.
