Ikaroa-Rāwhiti MP Meka Whaitiri is to resign from the Labour Party to instead stand for Te Pāti Māori. RNZ understands Whaitiri, who has been MP for Ikaroa-Rāwhiti since a by-election in 2013, will make the announcement on Wednesday morning at Waipatu Marae in Hastings. She holds the seat with a comfortable margin and is expected to be able to win it easily for Te Pāti Māori. Immigration NZ must account for the Dawn Raids apology in policy, and deportations should only occur in extreme cases, the minister has warned. With the Green Party also repeating calls for an amnesty for overstayers, Acting Prime Minister Carmel Sepuloni says the only acceptable reason for such raids would be a threat to public safety. Car dealers say they do not have enough time to react to a raft of changes to the Clean Car Discount Scheme set to be implemented in two months. From 1 July, most of the existing rebates for imported hybrid vehicles will be reduced or disappear altogether, while increased charges will apply to the highest-emitting petrol or diesel vehicles. A purpose built cancer center in Taranaki is one step closer with a demolition of the old laundry at Taranaki base hospital in New Plymouth site preparation. Work for the new center is to start in July. It's more than 43 years since the Air NZ scenic flight over Antarctica crashed into the side of Mount Erebus killing all 257 people onboard. It remains New Zealand's largest peace time loss of life. Yet the wait continues, with the proposed national memorial to the Erebus plane crash victims homeless again. A new geotechnical report has found recent cyclone damage and slips at Auckland's Dove Meyer Robinson park in Parnell means it's no longer safe to build the Sky Song walkway there. Emergency warning and alert systems will be upgraded to improve communication during natural disasters.

Film Review: Dawn Raid – Southside and the Polynesian Sound

Documenting the rise of the legendary Polynesian document label in 90s’ and 00’s Aotearoa/NZ towards a backdrop of racism, this is a vital and entertaining movie about tradition and identification, says Sonja Hammer.

Radio waves reaching growth bins in South Auckland garages within the 90’s had been saturated with American Hip Hop and RnB. Suburbs like Mangere, Manukau, Papatoetoe and Otara had been branded as ‘the ghetto’. ‘[With] all of the crime, folks suppose it’s the scariest place in NZ,’ says Andy Murnane ,one half of the duo who created the unique Polynesian document label Daybreak Raid Leisure. The opposite half is Danny ‘Brotha D’ Leaosavai’i, and Daybreak Raid is the brand new documentary that tells their story.

Oscar Kightley, in his directorial debut might be higher identified to Australians by his work in tasks like Bro’city (The Bare Samoans animated TV collection) and Sione’s Wedding ceremony (as co-writer and actor). He’s himself a Polynesian pioneer of movie, stage and Tv. 

The origin story informed in Daybreak Raid begins at Manukau Technical School advertising class, circa late 90’s, the place Brotha D and Andy the Southside ‘palagi’ (Samoan time period for white individual) meet. They’ve a lot in frequent. Each are from impoverished backgrounds and have skilled run-ins with the legislation. Each are hungry to enhance their lives and are enthusiastic about hip hop. They staff as much as create the Daybreak Raid music label, recording hip hop distinctive to the Land of the Lengthy White Cloud. To finance this document label, they arrange a T-Shirt stand at Otara market, printing reclaimed racist phrases like ‘Bunga’ on tees.

The documentary factors out the significance of the origins of the title ‘Daybreak Raid’. ‘Our folks got here right here as a result of NZ wanted low cost labour,’ Brotha D says to digital camera, it cuts to a racist political occasion TV cartoon circa 1970’s, depicting brown folks combating, in job queues. (In distinction, the animation created for the movie, by Maka Makatoa, gives a Bro’city vibe for the narrative.)

Daybreak raids had been a shameful time in Aotearoa when primarily Samoan and Tongan households had been routinely raided of their properties by police for the Division of Immigration, who had been monitoring down ‘overstayers’ (expired work visas), who had been then faraway from their properties within the early hours, and forcibly despatched ‘again’ to the islands with no judicial course of. Writing in her ebook The Terror of the Daybreak Raids, Dr Melanie Anae says of this time: ‘Brown since beginning, we had all the time been seen as “suspect”, as criminals by police, as thieves by employers, as dropouts by lecturers, as unassimilable manufacturing unit fodder by most of the people, and as financial liabilities by the state. And now, being suspect was state-sanctioned.’ Because the years handed, the biggest Polynesian metropolis of Auckland, (its true Maori title is Tamaki Makaurau), reached a type of deadlock with palagi/pakeha tradition coinciding with the strengthening of Maori sovereignty and the expansion of te Reo Maori, so by the late 90’s, homegrown RnB and early hip hop sounds had been flourishing. 

Family names with ‘the Polynesian sound’, hip hop pioneers like Che Fu and King Kapisi seem right here, however disappointingly the absence within the movie of the Wahine within the music scene like Moana Maniapoto and Teremoana Rapley weakens the storytelling. Sure, the Daybreak Raid crew dared to dream massive in taking goal on the American hip hop market and we witness heartfelt musings of Brotha D and Andy reminiscing about how they related with the best artists from Southside: Deceptikonz, Adeaze, Mareko, Savage. However it’s disappointing that ‘Polynesian Princess’ Aaradhna is the one feminine artist depicted.

It wasn’t lengthy earlier than Daybreak Raid’s artists had been opening for the massive names of the noughties, and in-studio collaborations with Wu Tang Clan, Future’s Baby, RZA, Bones-n-Thugs, Coolio, Snoop Canine, Missy Elliot and others. This was success Otara fashion, and triumph got here with Savage’s single ‘Swing’ on Myspace with 10,000 views per day and its outing on the Knocked Up soundtrack in 2007. Nevertheless, the one needed to attain 1.5 million gross sales earlier than the NZ music business recognised this world first. Savage was the primary main Polynesian celebrity, and says: ‘We’re children from South Auckland. Nothing like this needs to be taking place to us!’ 

These tales are informed by Polynesians about Polynesians and like Brotha D and Kightley, rising up by the activism of our ancestors and our personal experiences of combating racism, Daybreak Raid paperwork a strong shift within the Polynesian lands of Aotearoa/NZ

As director, Kightley skillfully utilises the footage, equivalent to when artist Mareko lands in New York Metropolis in winter when it’s snowing, and on his naked toes he is carrying probably the most Polynesian of footwear: the Jandal! It’s a scene of brevity and that basic Polynesian self-deprecating humour the world is aware of now, because of the likes of Taika Waititi. 

Daybreak Raid Leisure holds the document of 35 gold and platinum information and has bought 4.5 million and just lately because of Tik Tok Savage’s ‘Swing’ re-entering the charts. The movie reveals that the bust did come after the growth, but in addition reminds the viewers what this ballsy label was up towards, from the wall of systemic racism from the NZ police, to overdue Inland Income penalties (on account of monetary tax inexperience), which led to the collapse of the label, which later reinvented itself towards all stereotypes and monetary woes.

This movie joins current traits of music documentaries from Aotearoa, like Poi E: The Story of Our Music and Herbs: Songs of Freedom (each by Tearepa Kahi). These tales are informed by Polynesians about Polynesians and like Brotha D and Kightley, rising up by the activism of our ancestors and our personal experiences of combating racism, Daybreak Raid paperwork a strong shift within the Polynesian lands of Aotearoa/NZ, the place music tradition is identification.

Conversations in Creative Cultures (CCC) Week 10 Notes

Reflection: Really interesting lesson. Lots that was new to me. I had heard of the Dawn Raids but had little to no idea what they were. Watching the videos made me more appear of the large amount of New Zealand histories that are not taught at primary or high school level, and often high school history doesn't expand beyond the Treaty, (as important as the Treaty/Te Tiriti is and should be taught). Also learnt to spell it as Pasifika as includes letters that are recognised in Polynesian languages? 

Class notes transcribed from my notebook: 

Pacifica Histories...

What do I already know? 

Polynesian possesses a similar mythology, connections between the Pacific Island Region and Aotearoa. 

Some language overlap between Māori and Polynesian languages. 

What we don’t know and might want to find out?

How people made their way to the Pacific. That potential connection to South America through kumara. 

Polynesian Panthers. 

Video: 

Labour shortage, NZ encouraged Pasifika people to come work in New Zealand in the 1960s, being able to bypass the the regularly necessary permits to live/work in NZ. 

Auckland being the Polynesian capital of the world. Many Polynesians moving to Auckland/New Zealand for better paying jobs and better education or their children. They were paid better in New Zealand than Samoa. There was a big lifestyle difference from living in the islands opposed to living in NZ. Working for a pay cheque is order to live/survive. Less forgiving in NZ? Sometimes money people made wouldn't go to the church or back to the family/home and would be spent on alcohol. 

NZ economy struggles, lots of unemployment. The blame is placed on Pacific Islanders taking NZ jobs. Originally welcomed without residents permits to fill labour gaps, then flipped and deemed unwelcome when New Zealand felt it. Became the scapegoat. “Can’t let a flood come here...” “Keeping to British stock”. “New Zealand cities were once seen as quiet, clean and a nice place to raise children in before immigration.” They took a couple Polynesian individuals and used their minute image to stereotype and present the entire NZ Polynesian population as possessing the same negative reputation. White/Pakeha people also has similar problems but was not highlighted or used against them in the same way as they were in control of society and what was recognised in the media. 

Dawn Raids: Police came to their homes at early hours of the morning or came to people’s work places to take them away for being overstayers. Bias ads and news information, news broadcasting, which fuelled public fear. 

Police had a bad reputation, known for being racist, thugs and by no means friends to the Pasifika people. Whereas Pakeha people saw them as protecting their rights. Stopping people in the street, asking for papers. As if people just carry their passports around. 

“How can you tell if someone’s an overstayer” Minister of Immigration 1976: “I can tell a jersey from a fresian.” Dehumanises the people. Also suggestive of being derogatory if being suggestive of either cow representing Polynesians. 

Police would go to the areas which were largely populated by Polynesian people. Would question their identity and bring them in for questioning. Good relations between police and Polynesians was destroyed. Would go to hotels and billiard halls popular with Polynesians. “Random” checks. Would target Polynesian areas over European areas. 

When police came into the pub, men would leave out the back and be caught by police. All would be citizens and police would look stupid, so they'd be done for taking the pub glass outside of the facility, theft of property. An attempt to cover for rounding up Polynesians. 

1970s-80s overstayers were mostly Europeans and North Americans. 2/3 of overstayers were European heritage but 2/3 of prosecuted overstayers were Pasifika. 

Polynesian Panthers. Similar to Black Panthers, look a likeness. Racial and poverty issues. Used the image so they would be taken seriously. They weren't a gang and ha dot work hard to destroy the image/ides that they were. Had to organise and promote positive initiatives, eg homework club, fine arts, taking care of the elderly. 

The idea of being Un-Polynesian to speak up and challenge authority. Older people didn't understand why younger Polynesians born in NZ or otherwise were making such a fuss. Idea that “Police knew best” when they really didn’t. Polynesians, legal or not legal, were worried about being targeted, being next. “Heads down, arses up, keep working. Don’t make a fuss.” People in the Pasifika community tried to encourage overstayers to reapply for sake of others, for sake of everything the community was going through. People would report on their cousins, brothers, family members etc. “Coming home drunk too much...” or “Not sending money back home...” 

Targeting all brown people: Māori, Cook Islanders, Niueans and other legal New Zealand citizens. Polynesian Panthers documented police to highlight racism or discrimination. Rob Muldoon, (PM at the time) and Allan McCready, (Minister of Immigration at the time) were trying to say there weren’t random checks and discrimination towards Polynesians in and around 1976. Evidence of “random” checks meant police and the government could not longer cover up what was happening and the way they were handling overstayers. 

NZ loved saying after WW@ how multicultural we were and everyone got along so well when in reality that wasn't the case. Large problems with racism. 

When younger NZ born Pasifika people asked their parents and other family about the Dawn Raids or specifically about making it into a play, the older Polynesians figured it was better not to talk about it, and leave it in the past. Younger people are recapturing the idea of the Dawn Raids. 

Shared class reflection: 

Worth taking a look at Sean Mallon and Mark Adams discussion/project on photographing the Samoan community. Photos in Te Papas collection. 

Should look at Linda Smith’s work on decolonisation. Could consider takatāpui in my written formal piece. Look into Ariki Brightwell, Naomi Simmons, Kathie Irwin.

Immigration New Zealand exceeded its budget for deportations in the first part of this year and required an additional injection to the budget. They have since obtained a further $500,000.

It has been reported that given the financial circumstances, at one point this year it was determined that INZ could only deport certain named individuals, including 22 inmates due to be released from prison, 48 alleged criminals and 14 individuals whose refugee claims had been rejected. The cost of deporting these people alone would amount to $564,883.

The total budget for deportations was $1.2 million for the 2017/18 year, a $500,000 cut from the $1.7m the previous year. The reason for this decrease was unknown, even to Alistair Murray, a senior Immigration NZ manager in Auckland, considering they had spent nearly $1.8m the previous year, and $1.6m the year before that.

Assistant General Manager, Pete Devoy the assistant general manager, guessed the reason for the cut was that deportations were viewed as an area where the budget could be cut and not have a visible impact on INZ’s business. He said the budget shortfall posed several risks to Immigration New Zealand’s reputation “in particular for those migrants who are considered the highest harm”.

There was concern about INZ having to reduce deportation activity to only high-risk individuals. They mentioned the impact reduced budget would have on their compliance work being done in the Bay of Plenty where a number of unlawful Indians were being deported.

Instead of actual deportation of illegal migrants, compliance officers were working on enforcing voluntary departure, requiring overstayers to leave at their own expense.

Part of the increased costs were due to airlines demanding more security – up to three escorts – and deportations to more expensive parts of the world to travel, such as Africa and the Middle East.

In March 2018, the compliance manager Nicola Hogg successfully obtained a further $500,000 for the deportation budget, allowing deportation activities to continue as before.

Deportations Statistics

2012/13 – 791 deportations cost $1,532,091

2013/14 – 660 deportations cost $1,229,294

2014/15 – 523 deportations cost $1,317,707

2015/16 – 529 deportations cost $1,611,130

2016/17 – 727 deportations cost $1,778,196

2017/18 – INZ had budget of $1,278,000 but spent $914,000 by January. Only had $363,868 to last until the end of June. Received an extra $500,000.

Some basics about deportation liability

If your visa expires  and you do not have an interim visa or application is declined, you become unlawful. You become liable for deportation, generally 42 days after becoming unlawful and do not have to be served a further deportation liability notice. You can be arrested and taken into custody at any time and put on the next available flight to your country.

If you are unlawful, you have no right to stay or apply for a visa, but can request a visa under special provisions of the Immigration Act, most commonly under Section 61. This does not technically give you the right to stay and prevent deportation but gives you a chance of staying if visa granted. We have assisted many clients in these circumstances.

Other grounds for deportation include:

Criminal offending (including drink-driving, assault etc) – for residents for offences for which imprisonment can be imposed even if it were not)

Breach of visa conditions (eg working while on a visitor visa)

Visa granted in error

Visa held under false identity or fraud, forgery etc

Concealing relevant information in an application

The exact grounds depend on whether you are on a temporary or resident visa.

Permanent residents can also be liable for deportation in some circumstances.

In cases where you hold a visa, a deportation liability notice would be issued and you would have 14 days opportunity to give reason why deportation should not take place

You may also appeal to the Immigration & Protection Tribunal against deportation on humanitarian grounds, but must lodge this within 28 or 42 days depending on the type of deportation liability.

Note that being deported does not just give you a free trip home! You would be required to repay the costs, sometimes at your home airport or at least if you want to return. You would then have a ban on returning to NZ for 5 or 10 years.

If you are unlawfully in New Zealand and believe you have grounds to stay or have been served a deportation liability, please contact us as soon as possible to see if we can help.

In case you were wondering what it's like to be a New Zealander right now...

In case you were wondering what it's like to be a New Zealander, it's currently impossible to get into the country for any NZ citizens (not an exaggeration). The government has mismanaged mandatory quarantine to the extreme - spots are booked out 5 months in advance and so limited that people pay thousands of dollars & give their passport information to internet strangers to have them also attempt to book spots on their behalf to see if they can get even a tiny advantage over everyone else - it's become a booming industry. The NZ government's response to this exploitative & dangerous (re: identity theft) practice is to simply say it is legal and people should "exercise caution".

The NZ government has repeatedly refused to advise the public about when new spaces will be opened up, so it's a complete guessing game. The government said today it releases "hundreds" of spaces daily - there are people who run bots which give you a Twitter notification every single time a space comes available - yesterday only 25 rooms were released. I'm unsure how "hundreds" = 25, but there you go. These rooms are booked within milliseconds of appearing.

The system punishes those who are unable to sit & refresh the site 24/7 - I am not exaggerating when I say that I have not slept for more than 55 minutes in a row over the past month. Every single hour (yes, including from midnight to 7am) I wake up to an alarm so I can check the website hourly to see if new spots have opened up. I get panicky if I have to put my phone away for something (e.g. if I'm going out or am in a place with a poor signal) because that could be the moment spots are released & therefore I miss out.

Emergency spots are also impossible to obtain. Currently, those who are in a situation like mine with an overseas visa soon to expire are being told to country hop around the world on tourist visas once your overseas residence visa expires. We are told that an expiring visa & the risk of becoming an illegal overstayer is "not enough to warrant an emergency place", but we just have to keep trying to book a spot ourselves while moving from country to country on tourist visas as each one comes to an end.

There have been notorious cases in NZ media over the past 6 months of NZers who are dying (as in, diagnosed as only having 2 months left to live) being rejected an emergency spot to come home and see family, get support etc. These people have had to go the media & kick up enough bad press for the government to finally step in & change its tune in regards to their case.

The icing on the cake is that today I pretended I needed to go through the UK quarantine system to see what it is like. I obviously didn't actually book anything, but would have been able to book a quarantine space for THE VERY NEXT DAY should I have needed it, with no hassle at all.

Obviously not everyone coming into the UK has to quarantine, like in NZ. But let's be real - the numbers have to be pretty relative considering how tiny NZ is.

There is no ethical justification for the way NZ has been treating it's own citizens needing to return home & excuses from the government about "fairness" and "we just can't do it" are laughable given the success of other international quarantine systems.

This is NZ's only protection against Covid, yet they refuse to expand or invest in it because more people returning = higher number of cases arriving & being stopped at the border. Lower border cases are apparently more important than the mental, physical, social and emotional well-being of Kiwis stranded overseas.

This isn't something new - this has been an issue since the beginning of the pandemic & overseas Kiwis have been complaining about it since the system was put in place 1 & 1/2  years ago, and yet the NZ government still refuses to make changes or take the issues seriously.

Basically, I didn't want to just complain for complaining's sake to the void because this is just the reality of my life over the past few months - but I just had to say something after seeing how smooth & easy it is to book spots in other country's quarantine systems.

I sincerely look forward to the day when I can sleep for multiple hours in a row & my anxiety isn't just through the roof every waking minute
