SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 2020

A HALF century has passed, but Guy O’Connor still recalls the sight of a 25-metre-long fountain of blood squirting up into the air from a

whale stranded on Wainui Beach.He was just one of numerous Gisborne

people who ventured out to Wainui Beach after 59 sperm whales beached themselves in 1970.

“Looking down the beach towards the Chalet Rendezvous (restaurant) I saw a bulldozer pushing a living whale up the beach towards the dunes,” said Mr O’Connor, then aged seven.

“As it rolled around in front of the

bulldozer, the blades were cutting rings around the whale’s body like ring barking a tree.

“Blood from those ring cuts was squirting up into the sky, I would say about 25 feet in the air.

“It was a horriic scene. It’s stuck in my head now. I can’t remember what day it was we went down, but we never went back.”

Today many motorists drive through Okitu and head up Tatapouri Hill unaware of the great drama, which occurred on the beach 50 years ago.

In a formerly fenced-of section of beach- front land, under a grove of trees, is the burial

site of the whales. A sign, too small to be read by those passing

by, tells the story of 59 sperm whales who beached themselves at that northern end of Wainui Beach in the early morning hours of March 18, 1970.

An unnamed Wainui resident told he Gisborne Herald he noticed the whales “early that morning and by 8am they were still coming in”.

“Blood gushed from the numerous wounds the mammals had, wounds caused by rocks, sand, others of their own species, or killer whales.”

Traic oicers were soon called to the scene

as the public arrived in great numbers, and did so for several days.

“Cars at times lined both sides of the road for over half a mile,” reported the Herald of March 18.

he whales were not roped of and in scenes unimaginable today, the public were able to walk right up to them. here are contemporary reports, and memories recounted today, of people cutting pieces of the mammals.

Mr O’Connor said he remembered walking down the track to the beach from the car

Contemporary and the vivid memories of eye witnesses looking back to March 1970 enable he Gisborne Herald’s Wynsley Wrigley to tell the story of 59 sperm whales stranding themselves on Wainui Beach and how an inquisitive Gisborne public reacted — some better than others.

park at what is now called Whales and seeing a dead whale with its tail stuck in the air because of rigor mortis.

“People were using it as a slide and sliding down its back from the tail end.

“As my brothers and sisters and I stood there, a man went up to it and used a butcher’s knife to cut out a triangle, like how people do with watermelons.

“He stabbed the piece with the knife tip pulled it out and licked it down to his dog.

“I remember seeing other whales out on the low tide reef I now surf on.”

Former mayor Meng Foon was an excited Makaraka School student in 1970 when he went to the site of the mass stranding.

It seemed like there were hundreds of them, he said.

“hey were huge like monsters. I can vividly remember one of our customers, with the chainsaw, carving up, I think it might have been bones, more particularly the jawbone.

“It was mildly stinky — maybe an ofshore wind direction didn’t give us the full smell of the decaying carcases.

“here were lots of buses and cars and what seemed to be thousands of people looking and talking about the stranded sperm whales.

“I can recall there were big yellow bulldozers ready to dig the holes and to push the whales in the grave.”

Mr Foon said visiting the stranded sperm whales on Wainui Beach was “a memorable event of my childhood”.

SPCA inspector Mr A. Innes-Jones told the Herald, back in 1970, that he had received complaints from “outraged locals” about people mutilating the bodies, knocking out teeth, and cutting lesh of whales which were still alive.

Some complainants said they would patrol the beach armed with riles. Mr Innes-Jones said he would patrol the beach himself.

“hese mammals are warm-blooded, have a structure basically similar to humans and are very capable of feeling pain.”

he Gisborne Herald reported the whales were between 15 and 35 feet in length and reported two theories for the mass stranding.

It was believed the whales had lost their sense of direction because of a storm and heavy seas, or that the leader whales swam toward the coast in a suicidal mood after a clash with blackish killer whales.

Ministry of Works (MoW) resident engineer Mr P.H. Fisher said about 1500 tonnes of whales needed to be buried requiring 10,000 tonnes of earth to be moved. he process was expected to take three days.

Burial was the only practical method of disposal and met the requirement of the Department of Health.

he MoW had planned to tow two whales out to sea and blow them up to test if that would be more a more efective means of disposal, but ofshore winds meant the experiment was never carried out.

Instead the whales were to be buried under at least ive feet of sand, said Mr Fisher.

First the carcases would be cut open to accelerate decomposition. But as the carcases were dragged to the burial site, bits of lesh and guts were deposited on the beach.

Workers also had to ensure the whales were dead. Two men, formerly employed by Napier’s Marineland, were assigned that task. he MoW agreed to make available up to 10 tonnes of whale meat for a Wellington-based cat food company.

B.G. Hamlin of the Dominion Museum now Te Papa) was reported as warning about the dangers of whale graves. He said that as whales decomposed, they left a cavity in the ground. In the bottom of the cavity would be fats and oils with a strong acid content and

a foul smell, which could take a long time to disappear. It was possible that a car, or another heavy item, could crash through the crust of the earth and into the cavity, which was once the whale’s body.

He said that about 10 years before, around 18 months after a school of dead whales were buried in Wellington, a car had fallen into a cavity illed with the remains of a whale. he car was destroyed and the couple inside the car required new clothes!

Any whale grave needed to be fenced of, said Mr Hamlin.

he Herald of March 20, 1970, said the MoW was in “a race against time” to dispose of the whales.

“Last night some of the carcases split open and spewed the innards on to the sand, adding to the stench that is quickly pervading the area.”

Mr Fisher said the beach was going to be severely polluted with blood, bits of lesh and a foul smell for a long time.

He said two tractor scrapers, four bulldozers and an Euclid scraper were working on site moving the whales or burying them.

“We hope the hole is big enough, even though it sounds huge, 500 feet in length, 30 feet in width at base, and up to 15 feet in depth.”

he stench would become “overpowering” as the day became warmer.

Workers, equipped with breathing apparatus, used water mixed with deodorant to spray on the rotting carcases. hey started work as early as 6.30am and on the day after the stranding worked until 10pm.

On March 21 the Herald reported the last two or three whales were being pushed together for burial.

he following week, the “senior children” of Wainui Beach School’s room 1, in a Letter to the Editor, suggested the burial site be named Whale Grove and include a statute of a whale to remind the public of what happened there and to attract tourists.

World’s largest Whale strandingApproximately 1000 whales beached

themselves in the Chatham Islands in 1918 in what is believed to be the largest-ever stranding anywhere in the world.

hat New Zealand holds the record is no surprise when it is considered the country has one of the highest stranding rates in the

world. On average, about 300 dolphins and whales strand each year.

Most strandings are of individual animals, but mass strandings are common and can involve hundreds of animals at a time.

Since 1840, more than 5000 strandings of whales and dolphins have been recorded around the New Zealand coast.

Strandings occur all year round and usually involve just one or two animals.

Major hotspots for strandings include the Chatham Islands, Whangarei, Hawke Bay and Farewell Spit.

A stranding of several hundred whales at Puponga, Farewell Spit, in March 1911, included a rare all-white whale.

he most famous albino whale was a sperm whale encountered by whalers of the coast of Chile in the early 19th century.

He was named Mocha Dick after the island of Mocha in Chile where he was irst spotted.

he whale was later immortalised as Herman Melville’s Moby Dick.

he real Moby Dick reportedly destroyed more than 20 whaling ships and escaped another 80 before being killed 28 years after he was originally sighted.

he cause of whale strandings is uncertain and there are many reasons why dolphins and whales may strand.

hose possible reasons include:• Whales may be old, sick or injured and

disorientated.

• Calving whales will often seek out sheltered bays to give birth and may come too close to shore.

• Underwater explosions caused by sonar, seismic testing or underwater sea quakes can damage their hearing and afect their ability to communicate, hunt and navigate.

• When chasing prey or avoiding predators, whales may accidentally beach themselves.

• Some whales may use geomagnetic contours to navigate and where these cross the beach or an outcrop of land, this can result in beaching.

Unfamiliar coastal coniguration or unusual weather patterns, particularly electrical storms, may also cause whales to strand.

• he strong social bonding of some species of whales can cause mass strandings. Whales that strand in groups are usually deep water species with highly-evolved social structures. In New Zealand, the most common species to mass strand are long-inned pilot whales. Whatever the reason for the initial stranding, the strong social bonds of these animals can draw the rest of the pod in.

• One of the most common patterns with mass strandings is that one or two whales will initially strand. hese animals will send out distress signals and members from their pod may attempt to help or mill slightly of-shore. A receding tide will then catch these animals out and soon the whole pod will become stranded.

2 THE GISBORNE HERALD

LEAD

Paul Grey went to Ormond and Makauri School, then took the bus to intermediate and then Lytton High School. He inished high

school and decided to go straight to the University of Auckland when he was 17 years old.

He said he regularly visits Gisborne and his parents.

“It was a bit tricky at the time as for most courses they really only took people who were north of hames.”

He completed two degrees at the University of Auckland, a Bachelor of Science in computer science and a Bachelor of Commerce.

“I found the studies challenging and interesting,” he said.

When Paul was young he saw an ad in a magazine and saved up to buy his irst computer.

“It was one of the very early home computers, one that used cassettes to load software before loppy discs were widely used.”

He thought to himself “what am I going to do with this?” so decided to teach himself a bit of programming.

“It’s remarkable how many people in software and programming started out like this.”

When he went to university he learned how to do it properly. In 1988 he co-founded Peace Software based in the United States and was a part of the company as Chief Technology Oicer for 19 years.

he irst half of his career was with Peace Software, which was an enterprise scale product for the utilities industry.

“It was doing billing and operating call centres. housands and millions of electricity and gas bills were handled. here would be up to 1000 people using the software at one time.”

After the company was sold to a Fortune 500 company, Paul came back to New Zealand and thought to himself “what on earth will I do next?”

“Rightly or wrongly I decided to start again. I knew people working at Amazon in Seattle — everyone knows about Amazon now but it wasn’t quite like that in 2007.

“Amazon was just starting to make software interfaces available that would allow people to write software to connect into their systems to automate things to do with e-commerce.

“here were so many products at the time that weren’t coming into the American market — it was just too hard for many local manufacturers.

“hat was what ExportX was founded on — this idea where we could create a sales and distribution channel into big markets that would harness the power of Amazon and its systems and software.

“I thought to myself ‘I could build software that would hook into that’.

“New Zealand and Australian products would be able to reach customers in America by bypassing the conventional distribution channels — that’s what ExportX was about.

“In a way it was always about the software we were building to enable that. ExportX continues to represent 30-40 products from Australia and New Zealand.

“Out of that, one of the systems we built became the software product that is A2X today.

“he software automates accounting for other businesses that sell products on

Amazon and through Shopify stores. It takes all those streams of e-commerce transactions and makes sense of it for accounting purposes and posts it automatically through to Xero accounting or, for America, Quickbooks accounting.

“What it does is solve a challenging problem for all of those thousands of businesses that sell online. It gives them conidence their e-commerce inancials are correct because when your sales numbers match the cash that’s in your bank account then you know your numbers are right in your inancial statement — that is what A2X does.

“It’s a big messy stream of transactions and data coming out of the Amazon and Shopify e-commerce systems. A2X makes sense of that and puts it into the right inancial periods and summarises it for accounting.

“A2X has the ability to connect into Shopify systems and Amazon systems. On behalf of our A2X customers we are able to load in e-commerce transactions, which has sales, fees and all sorts of transactions that happen on those e-commerce platforms.”

Paul said the transformation in the back oice of businesses selling products online was phenomenal.

“Without A2X they will be getting payments straight into their bank account and not knowing if the transactions were from last year, last week or whenever, or what fees had been deducted.

“What a lot of businesses were doing was fudging it because they couldn’t make sense of it or they had some poor accountant

tearing their hair out trying to load things into spreadsheets that didn’t make sense.

“here’s nothing worse for a bookkeeper who can’t get things to balance out — they can’t sleep at night and spend hours trying to igure it out.

“With A2X, that nightmare turns into ive minutes a month where you look at the numbers and balances, make sure they are correct and press the ‘yes’ button. People love

it for that reason.”Paul said he had never had

a software product people loved as much as A2X.

“Some even say it changed their life.”

he name of A2X can be interpreted to mean diferent things to diferent customers,

he said.“For the person selling on Amazon and

doing their accounting in Xero they would say it stands for Amazon to Xero.

“For the person who’s using Shopify and doing their accounting in Quickbooks it could mean anything to anything, X standing for anything.”

A2X is a company that is in the intech (inancial technology) and e-commerce (electronic commerce) industries.

“It intersects between those two segments. A2X is one of the most prominent in those industries in America.”

Paul has advice to people wanting to get into the software industry.

“I think the software industry is exciting and challenging. It is a cut-throat business. It’s very fast moving but if you’re good at it, it’s exciting. It’s a great career.

“One piece of advice I would give is that the

software industry is about creating software products that are valuable to people all around the world.

“It’s diferent from IT. Software is about identifying a need and solving it with software.

“You need to understand there’s the marketing side of it too. But for those aspiring software developers, I would say don’t just use other people’s software but igure out something you want your computer to do and start coding something — whether it’s useful for you or someone you know. he tools for getting started in software are unbelievably better than when I was starting out.

“I would say just do it. here’s no substitute for jumping in and using software to make your computer do something useful.

“Software engineers in one way or another got started by doing something with software in their own computers and building on that experience. Don’t wait on someone to tell you how to do it, just do it.”

In December Paul was awarded the YES (Young Entrepreneur Scheme) Distinguished Alumni Award.

“It’s great to get that recognition. I didn’t even know they knew who I was.

“here were some Campion College boys at the event in Wellington. I think that if young people either start their own small business to see what it’s like or get involved in a Young Enterprise scheme through their high school, it is a tremendous way to understand what’s possible. You can do things yourself, there are alternatives to working for someone else. It’s not for everyone but what a great way to develop the entrepreneurial spirit and coach future business leaders of New Zealand.”

Paul Grey grew up in Ormond on a citrus orchard and went on to have a career in e-commerce software. Matai O’Connor spoke with him to learn more about how he got into that field of work.

‘Just do it . . .’

SOFTWARE PROGRAMMER: Paul Grey’s irst computer used cassette tapes to load software. From that purchase he went on work in software programming.

PROFILE

POMEGRANATES� e popularity of pomegranates is

increasing as more people are learning how to use the crunchy pomegranate seeds (called arils) in salads and desserts.

Pomegranates are very hardy deciduous shrubs that grow 1-4m tall (depending on the variety) and produce attractive orange fl owers followed by tennis ball-sized red fruit during autumn.

� e plants prefer growing in a full sun position (they love hot, dry summers) in well-drained soil and make a fantastic edible hedge. � ey can also be grown in pots and

thrive in all but the coldest regions. Pomegranates can be pruned during winter

to remove any dead stems and keep the plant tidy. Feed from spring to autumn with Yates � rive Natural Blood & Bone to promote healthy growth and lots of colourful fruit.

PERFECT PEARSCrisp slices of pear on a cheese platter,

delicious pear tarts and cakes and refreshing savoury salads are just some of the ways pears can be enjoyed. Pears are high in dietary fi bre and a good source of potassium and the peak pear harvest season runs from

late summer into autumn.Pear trees are very attractive deciduous

trees which have pretty bee-attracting blossoms in spring. You don’t need to have a large garden to be able to grow a pear tree. Dwarf varieties, such as Waimea Nurseries Garden Belle, only grow to around 2m tall, so are perfect for both small gardens and growing in pots. A medium to large sized pot (at least 50cm diameter) fi lled with good quality potting mix, like Yates Premium Potting Mix is ideal for pot suitable dwarf varieties. Pears are also great for espaliering, where the trees are trained to grow fl at against a wall or trellis, so take up very little room.

Pears do best in cool to temperate zones, with diff erent varieties requiring diff erent levels of “chilling hours” to maximise the fruit yield. Choose a pear variety that is suited to your climate. Check the pollinator requirements for your chosen variety, as some need to be planted near a suitable mate to be able to set fruit. Sometimes double grafted pears are available, which have two compatible varieties grafted onto the one tree. Plant pear trees in a spot with at least 6 hours of sunshine a day and well-drained soil.

Pears are most commonly planted during winter as bare-rooted trees, however, can also be available as potted trees which are great for planting during autumn.

It takes a lot of energy to produce all that delectable fruit. Apply some Yates � rive Natural Blood & Bone around the root zone during periods of fl owering, fruiting and new foliage growth to provide the tree with a natural source of organic slow-release

nutrients and help to improve the quality of the soil, attract earthworms and benefi cial soil microorganisms. Yates � rive Natural Blood & Bone also contains the goodness of New Zealand seaweed to support root growth and plant health and is certifi ed by BioGro NZ for use in organic gardening.

POPPIESArtist’s Glory Iceland poppies are beautiful

annuals that produce a glorious late winter to early spring display of gold, lemon, apricot and salmon coloured blooms with crinkled petals. � ey can be mass planted in eye catching drifts in a sunny garden bed or grown in pots to brighten outdoor entertaining areas. Flowers can also be cut for a vase.

Seed can be sown during March into trays of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Seedlings will start to emerge in 10 to 14 days and can be transplanted when large enough to handle. — Courtesy of Yates

After the heat of summer, we start to welcome some cooler temperatures during the fi rst month of autumn and the opportunity to grow and enjoy a wonderful new season of plants.

says Caroline Dafgard Widnersson. Too often, commercial versions are

loaded with extra salt, sugar, allergens

and preservatives, and can taste bland and uninspiring. So why not make your own? From ketchup, sweet chilli sauce and taco seasoning, to peppery American hot sauce, sizzling Tunisian harissa, tangy Dijon mustard, as well as infused vinegars, aromatic spice blends, pickles and preserves,

there are more than 90 simple recipes that show you step by step how to make your own condiments.

his book is a love song to condiments and the joy that making them brings — that weeknight stir-fry will taste so much richer with your homemade oyster sauce and your

tacos even more mouth-watering when paired with the hot sauce you’ve fermented at home.• Caroline Dafgard is based in Sweden and is a freelance chef and food stylist for a variety of food production companies and magazines.

Little did I realise how timely this book would be when it arrived on my desk a few weeks ago. Caroline Dafgard Widnersson’s colourful book ‘Condiments’ has recipes to make your own hot sauce, ketchup, mustard, mayo, salsa, harissa, ferments, pickles and spice blends from scratch.

The last leg of our German train ride involved Bremen to Hanover, a change of trains and on to our port of departure for our homeward

light, Frankfurt. he journey went without a hitch. We had opted to ly back to New Zealand from Frankfurt, mainly for the convenience of connecting lights. What information we had gathered had resigned us to it being just a “port of departure”. How wrong we were, Frankfurt proved to be a wonderful climax to what really had been a great adventure.

he greater area of Frankfurt has a population of about 5 million. he infrastructure was noticeable to us as soon as we arrived at the Frankfurt HBF (main Railway station). here are about 22 railway lines entering and leaving the city — we thought the Sunday we arrived at Hamburg the station there was busy, but Frankfurt

HBF is really busy and it stays busy 24/7.Although it was early autumn the weather

during our four-day stopover was mild, even if a bit chilly, mornings and evenings. We were left in awe by the buildings in the city centre, especially the “Saturn” shopping complex.

Frankfurt has very few really old parts, but it makes up for that with the modern street layouts and the pedestrian-friendliness of the city centre. his area has been given the nickname ‘Manhattan’ and it deserves it. he skyline is Frankfurt but really compares well with he Big Apple.

here are very well kept areas that would probably be 19th century but no real emphasis on the medieval buildings and streets we had found at previous German towns we had visited.

We souvenired a Frankfurt Calendar and spent an enjoyable couple of days

familiarising ourselves with the pictures on it. Visiting the statues of he Bull and he Bear, we overheard a local guide explaining that these belonged to the stock exchange. Without knowing it he had explained the significance of the huge bull we had photographed outside the stock exchange

in Manhattan. Evidently Wall Street only thought it necessary to highlight the Bull Market; Frankfurt chose to show the downside as well as the upside.

We spent our last day of sightseeing at the Palmengarten, a huge Botanical Garden in the centre of town. It is well laid out and maintained and was a very enjoyable excursion.

When we booked our light, we hadn’t worried about accommodation. As it turned out we were able to ind a near-new, three-room apartment 5km from the main station, via a short subway ride and a 400-metre walk.

It had all the facilities we required, and as an added bonus the same subway, with one change, deposited us inside the airport when we were ready to start our long light home. his included a marathon light to Hong Kong, a 13-hour stopover, another 11-hour light to Auckland, then the short hop to Gisborne.

We had plenty of time in transit to summarise some of the things we had done and seen in three months. After a late night light into Vladivostok we had travelled by

boats, trains and buses from the East of Russia to Saint Petersburg in the west; through the Baltic States into what is now Eastern Europe; inally crossing a large part of Germany. We had visited nine countries in all. We had made our own way, booking accommodation and transport as we travelled. With help along the way from many new friends, these patient souls made our journey possible. heir willingness to help compensated for our lack of linguistic skills.

We had experienced the inluences which shaped European history, ancient, medieval, modern, in peace and war. Words like awesome, wonderful, seem a little extreme. Much simpler to say we left a hat in Helsinki, a pair of sandals in Frankfurt and bits of our hearts everywhere. Any misgivings we may have ever had about the risks of travelling on the seats of our pants have been completely dispelled.

We returned to Gisborne very happy to be home, but determined that, there will be another journey like this one in our future.

Happy to be home, but . . .

Café Hauptwache is a popular eating spot in the square by the Hauptwache subway station.

The Saturn shopping centre spans an area of approx. 77,000 m² over eight levels, and boasts some unusual architecture.

The interior of the Saturn shopping centre is just as impressive as the exterior.

Brockhaus Fountain, named after the famous German sculptor, was erected in 1984. It was chiselled from a single, 38-tonne block of white marble, from Carrara, Italy.

Römerberg (‘Roman Mountain’) Square in Frankfurt is located in front of the Römer building complex, the seat of the Frankfurt city administration since the 15th century. The square is the historic heart of the medieval Altstadt (old town), a popular tourist destination.

Frankfurt’s traditional apple wine culture can be experienced at taverns around the city. Zum Gemalten Haus, The Painted House, is one of the most popular in Frankfurt.

On around 22 hectares of land, the Palmengarten Botanical Gardens display a range of interesting and beautiful plants. Almost every kind of exotic lora growing around the world can be found here, right in the middle of Frankfurt.

While it is to be expected that governments of all persuasions will introduce policies that relect their own ideology, just

because they have the numbers to do so shouldn’t be seen as a licence to abuse their responsibility to the wider electorate when making choices.

he recent decision using taxpayers’ money to fund the lunch of pretty much any child attending primary schools is a clear case of our current Government acting in its own

naked self-interest.We should not condone it!I am an old-timer living in a low-decile

community where you might think this sort of state intervention has some justification. As such, I regard myself as qualified to know a thing or two about the root causes of child poverty in this country and consequently, perhaps unsurprisingly, find the acceptance of these measures disingenuously presented as the best way of feeding “starving” children abhorrent!

We should be shocked and offended that it has come to this, yet we seem either oblivious or indifferent to the implications of these moves that have “socialism by stealth” written all over them.

In order to appreciate the seriousness of this situation, we need to examine the parameters that are being used by the Government and those advocating the introduction of “free school lunches” to justify their claims that there is no alternative to solving their perceived problem

of widespread food poverty amongst school children.

Unfortunately, like most of the modern-day PC answers to society’s problems, it is based on a lie and we should be unafraid to call it as such.

Here’s what you need to know.

We can start with the premise being used that virtually all of our communities include already large and growing numbers of families that can’t afford to adequately feed themselves, because the legitimate household income is insuicient to cover the costs of daily living.

Sure, there are struggling families in every community, but those who have legitimate claims that justify asking for state assistance are nowhere near the number being promoted by those who would have us believe the figures are at such crisis levels. You only have to look at the faces of the bulk of those kids who were sharing a photo opportunity with the Prime Minister recently. I can’t recall noting too many who might qualify as impoverished.

What we have here is a slick manoeuvre by the current Government to gain public approval for a community programme that will make them look good in election year, and allow the unquestioned spending of huge amounts on a problem that is at best exaggerated and a “solution” that is for the most part unnecessary.

Yes, we have an enduring problem of child poverty that has to be addressed, but I am less worried about the amount of money spent to fix it or where that money comes from than I am if, in the process, we as a community continue down this path of absconding from our responsibilities to our own families and the wider community.

If we allow these “band aid” measures to become permanent fixtures of our societal landscape without first critically examining the real need, we might as well hand over the keys to what is left of our individual self-respect to those self-appointed guardians of the nation’s moral fibre.

here is another way which has the capacity to deal eiciently with this and other problems at source, respecting individual rights to privacy while saving millions in the misuse of state funds.

It is called Whanau Ora.Remember that brilliant scheme

introduced under the name of Dame Tariana Turia when her Maori Party were part of the then National Government?

Unfortunately, because of petty political jealousies, it has not been given the support it deserves — but that shouldn’t detract from its capacity to identify the needs of those at the lower end of the social ladder.

Whanau Ora works efectively when a social worker, operating under the control of a local health clinic, visits a client or whanau in their own home where conversations take place that allow for the identification of real needs. Such visits also reveal other needs associated with family survival, for example an inability to adequately feed the family.

So, why not address all the needs of these families at source and, in the process, ensure that the taxpayers’ funds are used appropriately instead of contributing unnecessarily to the Labour Party’s re-election efforts.

Surely, Jacinda Ardern’s smile will be enough to get them over the line.
