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, ...

Housing Value Influecers

Have news media organisations really become online real estate promoters that are in the business of driving up market values? Several factors feed into this issue which impact the media reporting. For starters,  the internet has played a major role in changing Journalism. Online news media has shifted to become 24/7 operations with fewer reporters. It seems that mainstream media outlets are more focused creating articles that increase financial gains. Trashy clickable items now commonly link to advertising which has become the norm. Furthermore, public relations messages and media releases disguised as news have become part of the non-stop online news experience. Jeff Sorensen states in his article 24 Hour News Has Killed Journalism , “serious stories and reporting has been purposefully desensitized to the average viewer. It’s why a massacre of thousands in Syria is a secondary story to the girl from  Twilight cheating on the guy from  Twilight . Serious journalis...
