Editorial—September 2018
I recently attended the World Community Development Conference, in
Dublin, Ireland. The content presented has got me thinking about
economics and the need to understand the significance of work by writers
such as George Monbiot and Kay Raworth.
George Monbiot who writes for the Guardian says in his book:
How did we get into this mess? Politics, Equality, Nature:
‘So pervasive has neoliberalism become that we seldom recognise it
as an ideology. We accept the proposition that this utopian,
millenarian faith describes a neutral force; a biological law, like
Darwin’s theory of evolution. But the philosophy arose as a conscious
attempt to reshape human life and shift the focus of power.
Neoliberalism sees competition as the defining characteristic of
human relations. It redefines citizens as consumers, whose
democratic choices are best exercised by buying and selling, a process
that rewards merit and punishes inefficiency. It maintains that “the
market” delivers benefits that could never be achieved by planning.
Attempts to limit competition are treated as inimical to liberty. Tax
and regulation should be minimised, public services should be
privatised. The organisation of labour and collective bargaining
by trade unions are portrayed as market distortions that impede the
formation of a natural hierarchy of winners and losers. Inequality is
recast as virtuous: a reward for utility and a generator of wealth,
which trickles down to enrich everyone. Efforts to create a more equal
society are both counterproductive and morally corrosive. The market
ensures that everyone gets what they deserve.
4
We internalise and reproduce its creeds. The rich persuade them-
selves that they acquired their wealth through merit, ignoring the
advantages – such as education, inheritance and class – that may have
helped to secure it. The poor begin to blame themselves for their
failures, even when they can do little to change their circumstances.
Never mind structural unemployment: if you don’t have a job it’s
because you are unenterprising. Never mind the impossible costs of
housing: if your credit card is maxed out, you’re feckless and
improvident. Never mind that your children no longer have a school
playing field: if they get fat, it’s your fault. In a world governed by
competition, those who fall behind become defined and self-defined
as losers.
Among the results, as Paul Verhaeghe documents in his book ‘What
About Me?‘ are epidemics of self-harm, eating disorders, depression,
loneliness, performance anxiety and social phobia. Perhaps it’s
unsurprising that Britain, in which neoliberal ideology has been most
rigorously applied, is the loneliness capital of Europe.’ Monbiot. G,
How did we get into this mess? Politics, Equality, Nature. (2016)
I have also become excited reading Kate Raworth’s ‘Doughnut Economics:
Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist’ who proposes a
plausible new economic model that reframes economic thinking in a way
that doesn’t destroy the planet, ensures better redistribution of wealth and
that people are treated with dignity. Forbes Magazine rated Doughnut
Economics as one of the best business books of the year 2017.
In ‘Doughnut Economics’ Raworth outlines a call for a shift in thinking and
how we need to re-focus ourselves away from the concept of ‘growth’ to
5
thriving. She describes seven ways to think like a 21st century economist.
These principles are underlined by a broad assumption that economics as
we know it doesn’t care about either humans or the environment, and
therefore the first thing we should do is ‘change the goal’ from GDP
growth to the doughnut (See her diagram at the end of this editorial). The
second principle is ‘seeing the big picture’, where she explains that the
market is not self-contained, and that the economy is more embedded in
society than some economists assume.
She acknowledges the vast influence economics as a discipline has had on
the way we think: in particular, the notion of the ‘rational economics man’,
which she suggests we need to replace with ‘social adaptable humans’. To
demonstrate how unreasonable the ‘rational economic man’ assumption
is, she quotes a Wikipedia page that lists 160 cognitive biases. The fourth
principle is that we need to ‘get savvy with systems’, and appreciate that
the real economy doesn’t comply with the supply-demand equilibrium but
is instead embedded in dynamic complexity. The fifth and sixth are ‘design
to distribute’ and ‘create to regenerate’, as she claims that the assumption
that growth reduces inequality and facilitates environmental improve-
ments is false. Finally, the seventh recommendation is that we should be
‘agnostic about growth’.
Not surprisingly, three of the seven principles claim that growth doesn’t
lead to redistribution of wealth or environmental regeneration and is over-
all not a helpful goal, which is why she suggests we should rather be
redistributive and regenerative by design.
She criticises economists and politicians for debating ‘economic efficiency,
productivity, and growth while hesitating to speak of justice, fairness, and
rights’, and without providing tangible policy recommendations.
6
She calls for bringing ‘humanity back at the heart of economic thought’.
Raworth. K, Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-
Century Economist’. (2017)
Those of us working in the community and faced with the impact of
inequality on a daily basis will find Kate Raworth’s thinking not just
plausible, but necessary. It gives us a new language and vision of where
to head and a sense that things can be fixed that are so obviously broken!

125th Anniversary of
Women’s Suffrage in
Aotearoa / New Zealand
2018 marks the 125th anniversary of women’s suffrage in Aotearoa /
New Zealand. On 19 September 1893 the Electoral Act 1893 was passed, giving
all women in New Zealand the right to vote. As a result of this landmark
legislation, New Zealand became the first self-governing country in the world in
which all women had the right to vote in parliamentary elections.
Key dates are:
19 September, anniversary of when all New Zealand women
over the age of 21 were granted the right to vote.
28 November, anniversary of when New Zealand women voted
for first time.
Visit the NZHistory website to view a database listing the names that
appeared on the main suffrage petition submitted to
Parliament in 1893.
Visit the Suffrage 125 facebook page here.
The above item is taken from - NZHistory's web feature about women, the vote and activism.
10
Suffrage 125 aims to:
develop a commemorative programme that is relevant,
meaningful and attractive to a diverse range of New Zealanders;
highlight previously untold stories of people who contributed to achieving
suffrage in NZ – particularly stories from Māori, Pacific, and Chinese
communities;
celebrate game-changing individuals of a range of ages and
cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, who do extraordinary things
to create positive social change for women and New Zealand; and,
create a forum for conversations about our future and the
importance of civic engagement and participation.

Are We There Yet? From now - 31ST OCTOBER 2018 SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS HALL, FREE WITH MUSEUM ENTRY
Are We There Yet? celebrates the 125th anniversary of women ’s suffrage in Aotearoa / New Zealand. But how far has New Zealand really come since women gained the vote?
This contemporary exhibition uses the historic anniversary as a spring-board to examine the successes and speed-bumps of gender equality so far, and where to next. Equal pay, reproductive rights, gendered violence, online trolling, legal rights and body image are all up for discussion and interrogation.
Photographs of trailblazers, ground-breaking marches, and posters and publications from the Museum’s collection will be on display, including rarely-shown photography by Gil Hanly, Emily Lear and Robin Morrison.
A short-film directed by renowned filmmaker Gaylene Preston has been created especially for Are We There Yet?
Share your experiences and thoughts in this participatory exhibition.

Māori Archaeology of Takapuna
Tēnā Koutou Katoa. On 31st July 2018, the Channel View Lounge at the Mary
Thomas Centre, in Takapuna was overflowing with more than 100 people interested
in learning about archaeology and pre-colonial Māori history on the
Devonport – Takapuna peninsula.
Nau mai, Haere mai… welcome one and all! This event was open to the public with
people coming from across Te Raki Paewhenua, North Shore and as far afield as
Papakura and Manurewa.
The hui was hosted by Auckland North Community and Development (ANCAD) with
support from the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board through their community
funded programme.
The event opened with mihi and karakia by Otene Reweti from Te Waka Anga Mua
ki Uta (Auckland Council’s Māori Strategy and Relations Department). Otene also
closed the hui with a karakia.

Zella Morrison the previous strategic broker of the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board
provided an overview of the programme. The hui was arranged as part of her
previous role which was to support local community organisations improve their
understanding of Māori knowledge.
She explained the meaning of some Māori names such as:
Kia Ora – to be well, Mana – to have prestige and respect, Whenua – the earth, land,
mountains oceans and rivers, Mana Whenua – relates to being born of the land that
holds tribal status.
Taka - puna is a name that originated in Hawaiki. “Taka” meaning knoll and “puna”
is a spring where it is believed fresh water flowed from North Head (Maungauika) to
Takapuna.
Zella also explained the meaning of Tāmaki Makaurau - aptly described as ‘desired
by many’ because of its plentiful resources, food, coastal access and maunga which
were occupied by Māori.
The Devonport- Takapuna Local Board area consists of twelve mana whenua
groupings and 19 iwi across the wider Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland region.
Zella’s presentation also included learning a little waiata. Following this
introduction we stopped for kai, which was preceded by karakia given by Otene
Reweti.
The second part of the day was a presentation given by historian and archaeologist,
Dave Veart of Devonport. Dave’s own family has been in Aotearoa for seven
generations, he lives in the same house that his grand-parents lived in. Dave feels a
deep and strong bond with the Devonport community because everywhere he goes
he can see something which has a family connection.
21
“The house I live in now is the house my father grew up in and in the Friendly
Societies Hall my grandfather is recorded as the treasurer of the Ancient Order of
Foresters. I still have photographs of him in full regalia.” (Excerpt taken from ‘My
Story, Your Story - Together builds community’, Published by ANCAD, 2015
Dave’s presentation focussed on the archaeological sites of the Devonport –
Takapuna peninsula, of which there are hundreds. When Pākeha began to settle in
the Devonport area, settlers lived side by side with local hapu who had stone
walled gardens expanding up and down the entire peninsula. The volcanic soil was
ideal for growing many crops including kumara and peach trees!
Ferdinand von Hochstetter was a European geologist, who in the 1850s traversed
the peninsula and recorded the scope of Māori settlement; including the crops
grown, kai moana (sea food), and the overall landscape.
‘It was not until we approached the lake and arrived upon volcanic soil, that both land and vegetation assumed a different character. Taller shrubbery intermixed
with peach-trees made its appearance; a Maori hamlet with some twenty huts lay there, surrounded with fields and meadows, and the New Zealand flax-plant -- its tall and luxuriant growth being always indicative of fertile soil -- stood in powerful
bushes by the way-side. We had arrived at the foot of a gently sloping hill.‘ Ferdinand von Hochstetter, 1859
Dave also talked of what the flora
and fauna would have been like
1000 years ago. Could we imagine
walking outside of the Mary Thomas
Centre and spotting three types of
moa wandering around, and huge
podocarp trees running the length of
the peninsula? Lake Pupuke — 1911

The day concluded with parting karakia from Kuia Rangi Davis (a member of the
ANCAD board). Rangi is of Ngāti te Ara Ngāti Kopaki and Ngāti Hine hapu of
Moerewa, Northland. Rangi has been part of the staff/whānau of Hato Petera
College – based in Northcote for many years.
Parting gifts were presented by Yvonne Powley, ANCAD CEO.
For the team at ANCAD reflections on the day included:
‘I don’t recall anything like this ever being presented in the Takapuna area. It was
great to see the huge interest in this topic! There was a lot of respect from the
speakers for all iwi in this area. The workshop was a very positive introduction to
the history. We are keen to host further events like this, given the amount of
interest.’ – Yvonne Powley, ANCAD CEO.
‘What a great success. I’m sure people learnt a lot from the two presentations, and
the shared korero between hosts and audience. As a historian myself, I found the
day was full of great wairua and mana. My imagination went wild when I heard
Dave’s presentation – trying to imagine what this area was like at the time of the
arrival of the first waka.
… Then also trying to imagine what the area looked like with Māori and Pākeha
living side by side and peach trees going everywhere along with many cultivated
gardens. I live in one of the oldest houses in Devonport (from 1860) so for me I now
feel quite connected after today’s event to an incredible story about this peninsula.’
– Ruth Greenaway.
‘I found Dave’s presentation really informative and stimulating – so much so, that I
went home to read more about the early settlement of New Zealand!’
- Geoff Andrews.
23
‘The event was made really special by having such a wide range of people
attending, who all (I am sure) got something different out of the event. For me
personally, learning about the history not just of the place but also of the people
who have settled in this area at different points in its history, made me feel much
more connected to the land. I have lived on the North Shore (Te Rake Paewhenua)
for over 20 years but this is the first time I have really learnt anything about its
history. I often hear people describe themselves as Tangata Whenua but have
always felt that this does not describe my relationship to Te Rake Paewhenua and
was really interested to learn that I can refer to myself instead as Mataawaka,
which feels so much more comfortable for me.’ – Susan Moyle.
‘It was a really special occasion. We had fascinating kōrero about kaupapa Māori
for Takapuna and Dave’s presentation on the history of local Māori settlement was
phenomenal. I hope this is the first of a series of such hui. The interest and
enthusiasm from the 100 people who came along would suggest there’s definitely
appetite for more.’ – Steve McLuckie.

d e v e l o p m e n t Collaboration for Community Organisations. Have to? Want to? Need to?
Much is currently being said about organisations needing to collaborate, and evidence certainly demonstrates together we can achieve more. In practice, however, this is not straightforward and requires careful consideration.
Creating and maintaining lasting collaborative partnerships requires attention to process, resources, relationships, and outcomes. This workshop will provide you with a fresh perspective on collaboration. You will explore the collaboration landscape and identify where your organisations and your current and potential partners are place on the continuum of collaborations.
You will use a framework for collaborating effectively to ensure you maximise your efforts, to achieve more with your partners. Finally, you will apply tools to support you in your collaboration journey.

How often should Chairs and Managers meet?
You are absolutely right to be concerned about the importance of a good
Chair/Manager relationship. However, this needs to be part of system that
has a clear and mutually agreed allocation of roles (who is responsible for
what between the Manager and the Board as a whole). It also needs to be
part of a culture of mutual trust and respect between the Manager and the
Board (as a whole).
I have started out by emphasising the role of the Board as a whole, as we
sometimes dump too many responsibilities on the Chair, and let other
board members ‘off the hook’ as mere passive authorisers (or not) of
propositions put to them by someone else, but which they had no part in
the formulating nor even much thinking about. In particular, it is always
worth keeping in mind that a Chair has no legal authority to make decisions
about anything on her/his own (unless your constitution or equivalent gives
a specific power to the Chair). It is always possible for a Board to delegate
specific decisions or powers to any particular member (including a Chair),
but the ultimate responsibility (and power) remains with the Board as a
whole.
Having said that, the Chair is a crucial ‘conduit’ between the whole Board
and the Manager. Though it is worth keeping that at the front of our minds
that the Chair is a conduit for the whole Board, not an individual ‘manager’
of the Manager (which is an easy trap to fall into - especially if the Chair's
day-job is a Manager!)
Like all great questions, this does not have a simple answer. I have seen
different effective Chair/Manager relationships, where the frequency of
meeting together has varied from weekly to monthly. Where the Manager
has been used to pretty much running the show on his / her own, it may be
necessary to meet more often to start with.
28
Obviously, this is better presented as your need to feel comfortable with
being “on top” of things, rather than their need to be reigned in! On the
other hand if the Manager has previously been micro-managed out of
taking any initiative, it may be worth making sure you do not meet too
frequently to begin with.
It is always useful to get back to thinking about purpose. What are both
the Chair and the Manager hoping to achieve by meeting? It never hurts
to start off the first meeting with this question, and even if you have been
meeting for a long time, it's never too late to ask!. I am really clear that
the purpose of the Chair/Manager meeting should never be to replace or
repeat the full Board meeting - and definitely never to make decisions that
should be made by the full Board. At the full Board meeting, Managers are
generally expected to provide reports to: Keep board members up-dated
on what is happening; Provide key information board members need for
their decision-making; and, Enable board members to monitor progress
towards strategic goals.
You don’t want your Manager to be doing this twice (once to the Chair
and then repeated to the whole Board). So I work on the assumption that
the key purposes of the Manager/Chair meetings are different, for
example, to:
1. Support and supervise the Manager in ways or on issues that can’t be
readily done in a larger group,
2. Assist the Manager, where needed, in how to deal with the Board -
e.g. what reports to provide, what decisions need to come to Board,
etc, and
3. Provide a channel for the Manager to raise issues about how the
whole Board, including the Chair, is working with the Manager, for
issues that may be difficult to raise (at least initially) in the larger
group. As a result, these Chair / Manager meetings can be short.
29
The Chair may have a couple of key questions/prompts to start the
conversation around support & supervision (Purpose 1), and then
check from either point of view if there is anything to raise under
Purposes 2 or 3. (Purpose 2 can include a mutual discussion on how
best to deal with an item at an up-coming board meeting, whether it
needs to go to the board, what background info board members might
need to properly discuss this, and so on.)
Some times, people want to add a ‘no surprises’ role to these meetings.
But even here I would suggest this should not replace (or duplicate) the
whole Board’s ‘no surprises’ expectations. It could legitimately be a
discussion of ‘does this come under our no-surprises rule?’, or ‘is it
important enough to inform board members before our next regular
meeting?’ and so on. This is the kind of process discussion that often
comes up under Purpose 2). In some rare circumstances, privacy
concerns, for example, may mean that it is better to share the details of
a matter with as few people as possible, but this should be the
exception rather than the rule, and when the Chair reports that the
Manager has shared certain other details but they cannot be passed
on, the Chair should be ready to justify the reasons these other details
should not be shared with the whole board.
And don’t forget to make it as easy as possible for a Manager to raise
something under Purpose 3 - perhaps with a pro-active, open-ended
question like, 'what would make you happier with how I am chairing
meetings?' or 'what things could I do to improve?' or 'is there anything
that would make your job easier?' or 'how are you feeling about board
members' participation in the meetings?' or 'anything else on your
mind about the board as a whole or individual board members?'
etc etc.
30
I tend to prefer informal meetings, where everyone is more relaxed -
over coffee, in a relaxed setting. But be careful (if you go to a coffee
shop or other public place, or even if it is in a non-private area of the
organisation’s own premises) that you have adequate confidentially
so both parties can say what’s exactly on their mind. This can still be
a regular time, to make sure it happens.
These meetings tend to (and often need to) get more formal when
significant differences or conflicts or concerns begin to arise. As an
extreme example, if a Chair were formally disciplining a Manager, they
would want to make sure there was a record of the meeting and any
warnings etc. But there are also times well before it reaches this
extreme, when the formality helps to ‘make it less personal’ in dealing
a difference.
