My blog and me




Growing up in Rotorua the youngest of 10 children, I spent my younger years exploring the area of Western Heights. Nestled at the foot of Mt Ngongotaha much time was spent playing in the bush and creek across the road from our house. In my late teens I moved to Melbourne and discovered the verity of cultures and foods the city had to offer, also I expanded my interests into the outdoors. In my early thirties, I made my way home to be closer to the mountains and things I love about NZ. In the family portrait below, I'm held by my eldest brother Douglas. 


Currently I live in Golden Bay which is mostly quiet and surrounded by national parks. Abel Tasman on one side with Kahurangi on the other. My studies in communications has brought me to this task of writing a blog. Within my blogs I plan to explore the social and environmental issues we face here and elsewhere. Not only the issues of these topics interest me, it's the possible solutions that really get me going. My idea is to learn about the issues we face socially and environmentally and to seek input for others to find possible solutions. The image below is the sunset view across Golden Bay from where my partner Erin and I live.

Improved Outcomes for Fisheries in New Zealand

The Price of Fish In 1986, the New Zealand government introduced the QMS (Quota Management System) to regulate fishing in the country's coastal waters, which extend 200nm offshore and are divided into 10 Fisheries Management Areas (FMAs). Under the QMS, most fish species are subject to catch quotas within the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) and the Total Allowable Commercial Catch (TACC). The TACCs are reviewed annually by MPI (Ministry for Primary Industries), and based on fish populations, the appropriate TACCs are allocated to the FMAs. These TACCs are further divided into Individual Tradeable Quotas (ITQs), which are permanently given to commercial fisheries for free. This reflects the neoliberal policy decisions of that era, where public assets were divided among private interests as a means to generate wealth for the elite. Neoliberal economics assumes that wealth will trickle down from the wealthy to working-class citizens. However, this approach has led to fisheries feudalism, ...

Kiwi Home Building Schemes

Misleading or confusing news stories makes for tedious reading. I’ve found an article from Scoop titled KiwiBuy the only answer to the housing shortage which was written as a media release by the Salvation Army. This story falls mainly within the confusing bracket, however, it could be argued that when confused, readers can become lost and therefore miss the point completely. The title makes a bold and somewhat biased statement; for starters there are 101 things that could make buying or building a home more affordable. So to say, ‘KiwiBuy is the only way’ is in my opinion somewhat short-sighted.   Maybe the title could say, “KiwiBuy scheme makes housing more affordable for low income bracket”. The lead-in sentence states, “Growing homelessness, rent rises and struggles for private investors could be on the way without serious changes to the housing market, The Salvation Army says”. Does this mean private investors will be struggling less? Also, what is meant by hous...

Political Point Scoring & Industry Capture

From where we stand, it seems that central government is being strongly influenced by private interests to push for the development of Port Tarakohe. TDC looks to be the messenger in this Provincial Growth Funding process , however, council seems to be avoiding proper community consultation on the proposed development. Council is being compelled by higher forces and it needs to act fast to access funding. Offices of central government appear to be captured by industry, and ministers from respective parties seem eager to be perceived as delivering growth to provinces. ‘More jobs’ and ‘economic growth’ being their unchallenged mantra . Not surprisingly, this ‘growth mindset’ dictates our path going forward, whether we want it or not, whether it’s good for the environment or not, or whether it’s sustainable or not. The proposed business case for Port Tarakohe has become a political point scoring event. An event where certain ministers puff out their chests when claiming growth ...
