how insanely racist do you have to be to put a whole entire bill before parliament when the ONLY thing that bill is for is to remove one minor clause from the childrens' wellbeing act (oranga tamariki act) that states that when removing indigenous māori children from abusive or harmful situations that their wider family/whakapapa (whānau, iwi, basically other māori relatives) and their mana (status, dignity, prestige) when making the decision of where to rehome them

like. i cannot imagine how people can be so confident standing up in our parliament and saying this needs to be removed. when worldwide the colonial history of stealing indigenous children is a well-documented practice.

when māori kids already struggle connecting with their identity and culture, don't speak their own native language because it was beaten out of their grandparents and kaumātua, are looked down upon for having an accent and speaking a certain way, are having their rights as tangata whenua stripped away by parliament as we speak. there are so many tamariki ashamed of who they are because of what society says about māori and this is just being pushed by this disgusting, racist coalition that somehow got elected into power

this bill being put forward to parliament is not making ANY other changes to the oranga tamariki act. this is not just one section of a wider series of changes looking to be made. this bill is SPECIFICALLY to just remove this one part of the oranga tamariki act that honours and gives effect to te tiriti o waitangi

i literally cant put into words how disgusted i am. every day it feels like the coalition are doing something evil and i can barely stand it anymore

For @churchofpoetry. This is a waiata I know and will comfortably sing/lead solo when needed (only person able to in a powhiri). I know both tunes and have known them for over 30 years now thanks to Mr Kowhai making me the lead in our kapa haka group when I was 12 years old. There are another two, which I cannot recall the names of right now, which I would need a quick listen before being able to sing/recite.

Coming back to edit to add the meaning of the lyrics because that's the whle point. This is my favourite...

Ehara i te mea Nō nāianei te aroha Nō nga tūpuna Tuku iho, tuku iho Te whenua, te whenua Te oranga o te iwi Nō nga tūpuna Tuku iho, tuku iho Whakapono, tumanako Te aroha te aroha; Nō nga tūpuna Tuku iho, tuku iho.

ENGLISH 'TRANSLATION'

Not the thing of recent times, is love but by the ancestors it has been passed down, passed down. From the land, the land comes the wellbeing of the people; by the ancestors it has been passed down, passed down. Faith, hope and love; by the ancestors they have been passed down, passed down.

(From NZ Folk Song * Ehara e te mea)

Six people have been killed in a knife attack at Westfield Bondi Junction shopping centre in Sydney's east on Saturday afternoon, NSW Police say. Five of the victims died at the scene and the sixth died from their injuries in hospital, NSW Police said. Nine people, including a small child, were stabbed by a man in the centre and some are in a critical condition. The offender was shot dead at the scene by a police officer. An urgent Waitangi Tribunal inquiry into the repeal of Treaty of Waitangi commitments within Oranga Tamariki is under way. Evidence submitted to the tribunal on Friday showed repealing Section 7AA, which outlines requirements for agency to improve outcomes for tamariki Māori would elicit strong reaction from Māori. It was also told repealing section 7AA may diminish the unique rights, needs and voices of tamariki Māori. Despite objections from government departments, like Te Puni Kokiri, plans to repeal the act continue. One ticket has won $30 million in tonight's Lotto Powerball draw. The winning ticket was sold on MyLotto to a player from Carterton. @1303z trailer for RNZ "Inside Out" @1304z Weather Forecast: Mostly fine with some isolated showers in the afternoon. @1305z "All Night Programme" anchored by Peter McIlwaine.

In a rare move, the Waitangi Tribunal has summonsed a sitting minister to explain why she wants to repeal section 7AA of the Oranga Tamariki Act. But Crown lawyers are objecting and have said if she is summonsed, they will seek a judical review by the High Court to stop it. Children’s Minister Karen Chhour has been summonsed to explain to the tribunal why she takes issue with 7AA of the act, and why repealing makes more sense than amending, among other questions. The hearing is set for April 26 though Judge Michael Doogan admits in a memorandum on the matter that this is a hypothetical date if the Crown does go to the High Court. Instead, he pleads for the minister to voluntarily come to give evidence. He says that the tribunal hearing needs to be completed before mid-May when the bill change is introduced and the tribunal loses jurisdiction. The plan to scrap section 7AA of the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989 is one of the coalition agreements between National and Act. Section 7AA has served as the organisation’s main legal motivator to improve the system for Māori, narrow the gap between Māori and non-Māori children’s experiences in state care, collaborate with iwi, and ensure mana tamaiti, whakapapa, and whanaungatanga are reflected in their policies and practices. But the Crown argued against the summons, with its lawyers saying that compelling a sitting minister to attend or provide a written statement “is against both authority and constitutional practice and principle.” [...] Section 7AA was introduced following the reform proposals of 2015, which Oranga Tamariki was born out of. It outlines a series of obligations Oranga Tamariki has to tamariki and rangatahi Māori, as well as wider whānau, and is the main legal mechanism to acknowledge the Crown’s duties to uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi in state care. It was the first time Te Tiriti o Waitangi had been mentioned in Aotearoa’s child protection laws. Questions remain over the efficacy of this section though, following the highly-publicised 2019 uplift of a child in Hawke’s Bay [link inserted by me], an incident that thrust s7AA into the public eye.

Empowering Vulnerable Children: Oranga Tamariki Action Plan

  Uniting for a Common Purpose: The Oranga Tamariki Action Plan

In its inaugural year, the Oranga Tamariki Action Plan has already made a significant impact, bringing together various children's agencies to prioritize the welfare of those in greatest need. Chief Executives from Oranga Tamariki, the Police, and the Ministries of Education, Social Development, Health, and Justice have collaborated to achieve better outcomes for children and young people in care.   A Collaborative Effort: Contributions from Diverse Agencies Beyond children's agencies, several others, including the Department of Corrections and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, have contributed to this collective endeavor. Kelvin Davis, a strong advocate for the approach, emphasized the importance of working together with the community to provide comprehensive support, thereby preventing children from entering state care.  

Tangible Impacts: Positive Outcomes in Families' Lives

The Oranga Tamariki Action Plan has yielded tangible results, enhancing the lives of families in various ways. For instance, the collaboration between Oranga Tamariki and Kāinga Ora has increased the availability of homes for disabled children in need of intensive support. Furthermore, a new data system developed jointly by Te Whatu Ora and Oranga Tamariki has facilitated smooth healthcare transitions for children in Oranga Tamariki residences.   Enhancing Support: Partnerships Lead to Notable Initiatives The partnership between agencies has sparked noteworthy initiatives, such as the introduction of senior social worker liaison roles at Starship's acute mental health unit. Following a successful trial, these roles will also be introduced in Wellington and Canterbury.  

Empowering Frontline Workers: A Long-Awaited Approach

Frontline social workers have expressed long-standing support for this collaborative approach, and Minister Kelvin Davis acknowledged the fulfillment of their aspirations. While the foundations are now in place, Davis emphasized that the work has just begun, and he looks forward to rapid progress in the days ahead.   Sources: THX News & New Zealand Government.

Class 6.1

Today in class I finished refining the animation to hand it in by tomorrow. I changed the background of the yellow section to orange and made the hills slope down into the horizon line. I also changed the body copy font in the final frame to Aktiv Grotesque as well as moving the Bats logo to the top right corner of the image. I also moved the title ‘Modes of Colour’ to below the body copy.

This is a significant finding but whether it will lead to any substantial change remains to be seen.  There is a lot of inertia around this system, chiefly in the form of people thinking that the options are "continue doing it this way" OR "leave children in dangerous situations without any protection or help," no alternatives (very similar to the whole "defund/abolish the police" debate, where many people are terrified to get rid of the present police system because they fear that they will then have no recourse if anyone commits a crime against them).  

If a system persistently produces disproportionately worse outcomes for a particular ethnic group, it's a racist system regardless of whether it was designed or intended that way.

RNZ Pacific 1328 4 Feb 2024

7390Khz 1259 4 FEB 2024 - RNZ PACIFIC (NEW ZEALAND) in ENGLISH from RANGITAIKI. SINPO = 55344. English, s/on w/bellbird int. until pips and news @1300z anchored by Catriona MacLeod . The opposition has been told not to lick its wounds for too long, so it can join the fight against the new government's policies affecting Māori. The Labour Party and the Green Party were welcomed onto Te Whare Rūnanga on the Waitangi Treaty Grounds on Saturday afternoon. The new government has committed to supporting legislation to redefine the principles of the Treaty up to the Select Committee stage, on top of repealing Te Aka Whai Ora (The Māori Health Authority) and Oranga Tamariki law allowing iwi and hapū involvement in the uplift of children. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has repeatedly stated National has no intentions of supporting the Treaty Principles Bill beyond first reading but stopped short of categorically ruling it out. Wellington City Council staff will look at what may fix broken storm water pipes leaking leachate from a closed landfill into Houghton Bay. Wellington Water has assessed the pipes via CCTV and recommended relining the stormwater network to address the contamination issue, which would cost $7 million. Two helicopters equipped with monsoon buckets are on their way to a large scrub fire near Doubtless Bay in the Far North. The blaze, in 1.5 hectares of pines and dense scrub at Taemaro Bay, was reported just before 11am. Northern fire communications manager Michael Anderson said two fire trucks from Mangōnui were at the scene with more on the way from the Karikari rural brigade. The Cancer Society says it is great to see the new government invest in cancer drugs, but it also needs to ensure the drug-buying agency acts more quickly to save lives. Sunday marks World Cancer Day. Cancer Society chief executive Rachael Hart said National's promise to pay for 13 cancer treatments should make a difference, but Pharmac's processes also need to be overhauled. Queenslanders are being warned of another wave of wild weather as a tropical low off the coast threatens to form into a cyclone. The system isn't expected to make landfall but could still wreak havoc on communities recovering from ex-Tropical Cyclone Kirrily. Sinn Féin's Michelle O'Neill has made history after she was appointed Northern Ireland's first nationalist first minister. The DUP's Emma Little-Pengelly has been appointed deputy first minister. The return of power-sharing follows the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) ending its boycott over post-Brexit trade rules. O'Neill told the assembly chamber it was "a historic day" which represented "a new dawn". Northern Ireland's devolved government was restored on Saturday - two years to the day since it collapsed. @1303z trailer for RNZ "Morning Report". @1304z Weather Forecast: Mostly Fine and warm, some areas rain with some heavy falls. @1305z "All Night Programme" anchored by Catriona MacLeod.

Week 1.2

Week 1.2: Thursday 12 September

This weeks lecture was beneficial as we listened and analysed each of Warren Maxwell’s songs. It was good to take notes and draw how we felt about each song as it was playing, creating potential visual imagery. 

Notes in the lecture

‘Nature of Man’  - upbeat in comparison to the meaning of the song - Variety of instruments - Repetitions of words / sentences reinforces the messages, becoming quite overwhelming - Frantic  - Emotional  - Drums are tribal like  - Horns rising creating suspense towards the end

‘Home Land and Sea’ - Slow, calm, peaceful  - Musical beginning  - Soulful - Emotional  - Refers to past and present  - Talking to the listener 

‘Little Things’ - Slow, calm, peaceful  - Almost like a plea for help  - Appreciates the little things  ‘Peaceful Man’ - Soulful, slow, deep - Emphasis on ‘peaceful man’  - About fighting without violence  - About learning from the past as time wont stop, ‘ the sun will rise and fall again’ - Not forgotten 

Studio

We continued this in class with our partner. I decided to partner with Brianna who I work and get along with in and outside of the classroom. We have a similar design style as well as thought processes. 

Printing out the lyrics to each song made it easy to go over with Bri and make notes, highlighting key words / sentences. 

Reading over each song we resonated with ‘Little Things,’ ‘Peaceful Man’ and ‘Te Oranga.’ Below are scans from my highlighted songs.
