Māori tribe secures landmark apology and compensation over colonial atrocities

The gallery erupted into waiata (song) and haka (ceremonial dance) as the House unanimously voted to pass the law. As well as an apology, the Waikato-based iwi of nearly 46,000 members received NZ$177m in financial redress – New Zealand’s fifth-largest sum of its kind – and the return of 36 sites of cultural significance.

The settlement is the culmination of more than 30 years of fighting for reparations over the crown’s breach of its duties to Māori under the Treaty of Waitangi.

Elsewhere in the world, many indigenous populations are in the midst of a renewed push for colonisers to pay reparations for past wrongs, including in Jamaica, the US and other parts of the Carribean.

bringing New Zealand’s stolen ancestors home
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...ancestors-home

Quote:

The story of how they were stolen has taken decades to fully unravel. Its key figure is Andreas Reischek, an Austrian taxidermist who arrived in New Zealand in 1877.

Reischek spent the years that followed carefully locating and surveilling the most sacred sites of his hosts. In secret, he dug up skulls, human remains and treasures from their graves, tucked them into rucksacks, and smuggled them back to Europe to put on display.

It would be years before most of the tribes discovered the crime, with many finding out only when Reischek’s son began translating and publishing fragments of his diaries in 1930.

Almost immediately, iwi (tribes) began calling for their ancestors’ return. In 1945, as the Māori battalion fought on behalf of the allies in the second world war, they tried unsuccessfully to approach the museum to bring their ancestors home. Decades of repatriation requests were turned down or ignored.

The lions – four adults and one cub – were seen outside their enclosure at about 6.30am.

The zoo, on Sydney’s lower north shore, confirmed it would be open on Wednesday.

The incident comes nearly three years after a group of baboons escaped a research facility near Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.

Alice Clanachan’s bin left her yard for the first time in 26 months on Tuesday – still with a little room at the top.

“I could have gone a bit longer, but it’s getting hot,” she said.

Fellow Adelaide resident Trudy Conroy thought she had broken a record after avoiding putting out her landfill bin for 78 weeks.

Now that Clanachan has pipped her title, she is determined to make her bin last for 100 this time.

Cầu vừa đủ xoài:

oversupply of mangoes sees prices plummet across Australia

Quote:

Across the country, the oversupply of mangoes has seen prices drop dramatically – with the fruit going for as little as $1.90 each in some stores.

Brett Kelly, chief executive at Australian Mangoes, said the low price was being driven by an overlap in supply from different regions. Northern Territory mangoes normally get picked first in late November, followed by Queensland in the middle of December, then down to New South Wales and over to Western Australia.

While it’s good news for consumers, growers say they will struggle to make ends meet with the low price.

New Zealand passes unique tobacco minimum age law aiming to ban smoking for next generation

New Zealand has passed into law a unique plan to phase out tobacco smoking for the next generation by imposing a lifetime ban on young people buying cigarettes.

The law states that tobacco can't ever be sold to anybody born on or after January 1, 2009 - and from now on, the minimum age for buying cigarettes will keep going up and up.

In theory, somebody trying to buy a pack of cigarettes 50 years from now would need ID to show they were at least 63 years old. But health authorities hope smoking will fade away well before then. They have a stated goal of making New Zealand smoke-free by 2025.

"There is no good reason to allow a product to be sold that kills half the people that use it," Associate Minister of Health Dr. Ayesha Verrall told lawmakers in Parliament. "And I can tell you that we will end this in the future, as we pass this legislation".

New Zealand is not the only nation pushing to ban smoking for the next generations. In June, a report commissioned by the UK government recommended raising the legal smoking age each year to phase out tobacco use among young people.

Denmark also unveiled similar plans earlier this year, but the government said such a move would require changes to the EU's Tobacco Products Directive. A citizens' initiative later petitioned the European Commission to ban the sale of tobacco and nicotine products to EU citizens born after 2010.

According to the latest data from Eurostat, 18.4 per cent of people aged 15 and over in the EU smoke every day. But the figure ranges from 6.4 per cent in Sweden to 23.6 per cent in Greece and 28.7 per cent in Bulgaria.

Plain packaging, tax hikes, and smoking bans

New Zealand already restricts cigarette sales to those aged 18 and over, requires tobacco packs to come with graphic health warnings and cigarettes to be sold in standardised packs.

The country in recent years also imposed a series of hefty tax hikes on cigarettes.

Verrall said the new law would create generational change, while the health system would save billions from not needing to treat illnesses caused by smoking, such as cancer, heart attacks, and strokes.

Tobacco kills up to half of its users - resulting in more than 8 million deaths each year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which has long called for measures such as advertising bans, plain packaging, and higher taxes on tobacco products to discourage smoking.

The past two decades have also seen smoking bands expand across many countries in enclosed public places, on public transport, in offices, and also public parks and beaches.

'Nanny-state prohibition'

Lawmakers in New Zealand voted along party lines in passing the legislation 76 to 43.

The libertarian ACT party, which opposed the bill, said many small corner stores, known in the country as dairies, would go out of business because they would no longer be able to sell cigarettes.

"We stand opposed to this bill because it's a bad bill and its bad policy, it's that straightforward and simple," said Brooke van Velden, ACT’s deputy leader. "There won't be better outcomes for New Zealanders".

She said the gradual ban amounted to "nanny-state prohibition" that would end up creating a large black market. She said prohibition never worked and always ended with unintended consequences.

Vaping not affected

The new law also reduces the number of retailers allowed to sell tobacco from about 6,000 to 600 and decreases the amount of nicotine allowed in tobacco that is smoked.

It does not affect vaping, which has already become more popular than smoking in New Zealand.

Statistics New Zealand reported last month that 8 per cent of New Zealand adults smoked daily, down from 16 per cent ten years ago. Meanwhile, 8.3 per cent of adults vaped daily, up from less than 1 per cent six years ago.

Smoking rates remain higher among Indigenous Māori, with about 20 per cent reporting they smoked.

The law change was welcomed by several health agencies. Health Coalition Aotearoa said the new law represented the culmination of decades of hard-fought advocacy by health and community organisations.

Two brothers and a woman who fatally shot two police officers and a neighbour on a rural Queensland property had been involved in a love triangle.

Nathaniel and Gareth Train were also shot dead, along with Gareth’s wife Stacey, amid a siege at the Wieambilla property on Monday after the trio killed young officers Rachel McCrow and Matthew Arnold, and their neighbour Alan Dare.

As more is pieced together about the three members of the Train family, 7NEWS can reveal Nathaniel Train and Stacey had initially been in a relationship after they met through their careers in education.

While they met early in their careers, they would go on to prominent roles in the teaching profession, with Nathaniel Train landing several primary school principal roles and Stacey becoming Head of Curriculum at Tara Shire State College until last year.

It has been reported that the pair were married.

7NEWS understands that after their relationship broke down, Stacey commenced a relationship with Gareth Train. It is believed the pair were married.

They lived together at the Wieambilla home where the deadly shooting took place.

Gareth also worked in education, having been a groundskeeper and teachers’ aide.
“Gareth, Nathaniel and Stacey Train are former employees of the Queensland Department of Education,” a spokesperson for the department told 7NEWS.com.au.

“Gareth Train resigned from the Department in May 2016, Nathaniel Train resigned from the Department in March 2020, and Stacey Train resigned from the Department in December 2021.”

After leaving his role as principal of Yorkeys Knob State School, Nathaniel Train moved to New South Wales to become principal of Walgett Community College Primary School.

There is evidence he was a dedicated educator throughout his career, with Walgett parent Katrina Marshall telling 7NEWS he had “compassion” for students.
