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, ...

Commonwealth Connection

  Selena and Shamubeel Eaqub. Source: Idealog, (2015). Housing is a big issue for Kiwi’s and there's a commonwealth connection. Economist Shamubeel Eaqub (2015) makes comment on the situation in an report from Idealog titled "A culture of despair": How the NZ property dream became a nightmare . Eaqub said, “we’ve created a housing market impossible for young people to enter, a society one step away from a landed-class system, and a culture of despair”. The story goes on about what’s going wrong and how to fix things up. For example: more rights and responsibilities for renters, embracing technological property management systems, improving housing construction methods, effective land use and reformed governmental policy settings. Shamubeel and his wife Selena (pictured above) have written a book titled  Generation Rent: Rethinking New Zealand’s Priorities   which is mentioned within the report .   The report continues and focuses on ‘affordable...
