Glenis Philip-Barbara is not one to back away from an awkward conversation . . .

ever. She’s used to challenging situations that call for a calming inluence, tricky situations that need a holistic approach, and times when you need to bring together people who would normally not share a table.

Her latest job as the manager of the Tairāwhiti Economic Support Package Redeployment Programme draws on her vast experience that has seen her as chief executive of the Māori Language Commission, associate deputy chief executive for the Ministry of Social Development (Child, Youth & Family) and more recently as the woman who led the Tuia 250 commemorations last year.

Glenis is proud of her heritage, which includes Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Uepohatu and Scottish ancestry, and has been married to her husband Nick for 28 years. Together they have seven children.

She is a staunch advocate for Māori, the community and those

who may need a little help, but perhaps more importantly, she is a uniier, and her most “lethal” weapon is a cup of tea.

he Tuia 250 commemorations highlighted the ongoing emotive feelings around the arrival of Captain James Cook and how that history continues to be portrayed.

How Tairāwhiti hosted the commemorations of the irst meeting between Māori and European was the subject of international media attention. Everyone had a platform, including iwi, protestors, Cook enthusiasts and more.

here were plenty of politicians in town to witness an emotive and poignant pōhiri.

In the build-up, detractors of the commemorations who wrote letters to the editor were invited to have a cup of tea and a chat with Glenis.

“It’s about listening to other people,” she says.

“Listening to their concerns, understandings and opinions . . . and hopefully they will do the same.”

Glenis Philip-Barbara is an advocate for Māori, the community and those who may need a hand. She talks to Diana Dobson about her holistic approach to meeting front-on challenges and problems, and how she takes the sting out of confrontational situations by sharing a cuppa and a kōrero.

It is something so simple but that mutual respect is — according to Glenis — a basic human right.

She learned about the importance of respect when she was a youngster. She was a straight A student and the eldest of three girls. heir father’s Army career took them all over the country and she attended many schools. Her reports would precede her to each new school. She would turn up at the school to head into the top stream, but her jet-black plaits and milk-chocolate complexion didn’t quite match her name and she would be moved to a lower class.

Her Pākehā Dad would duly head to the principal’s oice to sort it out and, sure enough, Glenis would head back to the top stream, with a quiet reminder from the school that she would need to earn her place up there.

It was her irst taste of racism, and while this is a challenge every day of her life, it is something she has learned to navigate reasonably well. It’s also what has helped mould her to be a holistic manager of people who understands that every person has a story to tell and a value or experience that drives their behaviour.

“Taking a breath and really listening carefully when dealing with ‘diicult situations’ are important skills,” she says.

And she has had a lifetime to work on it in a range of settings.

“My CV tells a story about the vast array of interests in my life, and demonstrates my personal philosophy of work; kaupapa-led and values-driven. he kaupapa or purpose of a project, organisation or programme is key for me, and if I can’t see a solid value-add for the community, in particular, for groups of people who struggle or aren’t particularly well represented, then it’s unlikely to capture my interest.”

Her career spans education, research,

project management, business and community development. Her irst job was at the old Patutahi Dairy — a place where she irst learned about cash-handling and customer service.

he other early inluence on her professional life was attending Māori Women’s Welfare League meetings with her Nan.

“Nan would ensure that I took notes at pōhiri and at all of the presentations, and would quiz me at night to wānanga (analyse and ask questions about) my notes. I remember being asked by the State Services Commission as a new chief executive where my earliest policy inluences came from. I talked at length about my time as a Junior Māori Women’s Welfare League member and my Nan.”

Glenis became a mother at 19 and went on to attend Massey University with three

young children in tow, giving birth to her fourth child in the mid-semester break of her inal year. She earned a degree in Sociology and Māori Studies and went on to Masters study and teaching irst-year students in sociology while working on a plan at home with husband Nick to raise all of their

children as speakers of te reo Māori. “I grew up with only English as my

language of communication and always felt uncomfortable with the fact that I couldn’t speak te reo Māori growing up,” she says.

“Becoming a Mum got me quite focused on doing all that I could to ensure that te reo Māori would be vibrant in the generations to come. his meant I had to learn so I could support my children through kōhanga and kura kaupapa.”

Cultural pride and a strong desire to support the reclamation of Māori language and culture led Glenis to Sir Derek Lardelli’s door in 2006 to discuss a moko kauae (adornment of the chin). She was employed as the business development director at Tairāwhiti Polytechnic and had previously

spent ive years discussing with her wider whānau her wish to carry a moko kauae.

“It was important to me because I had grown up looking at the photographs of the old people in our wharenui (meeting house on the marae) but had no living memory of any of our kuia with a moko kauae. I didn’t want my children growing up without women in their lives who carried this legacy of our ancestors with pride. I wanted to ensure that our culture became more and more normalised in their lived lives.”

Since then Glenis’s son and daughter have followed suit receiving their own moko kanohi (facial adornment) and moko kauae, while other whānau members talk openly about if and when they might take the same path — testament to her theories around normalising Māori culture.

While Glenis grew up in Gisborne, attending Gisborne Girls’ High School in the ’80s, work and husband Nick’s military career have seen her and the family moving in and out of the region over the years.

After returning in 2017 from Wellington, she was struck by the numbers of people who struggled to meet their day-to-day needs. She cites the New Zealand Deprivation Index (NZDep) as one measure that is a huge cause for concern for our region.

“We are a community of 45,000 or so, and according to the NZDep, 30,000 of us struggle. If we are going to bridge people out of struggle street and into a life where they thrive, then people need an opportunity to work and to be able to access the kind of support that doesn’t judge or condemn them.

“It’s the reason why I remain committed to working with the community sector, and am passionate about my current role, so that people get a real chance to make their way out of hardship.”

As well as managing the programme, Glenis serves on the boards of SuperGrans,

Te Tairāwhiti Arts Festival and Veterans’ Afairs, a seemingly incongruous mix that has ordinary people at the heart of all that they do.

“SuperGrans is such a gutsy organisation — they work respectfully with people going through tough times, without judgement. I just love them.

“Te Tairāwhiti Arts Festival is also an absolute joy. Our community is such a powerhouse of creative talent, and this festival creates a platform to share all that Tairāwhiti goodness right here at home and with the rest of the country.

“Serving Veterans’ Afairs is all about ofering my perspective as someone who

grew up in the military and married a soldier. As a civilian, I have a level of insight that may add value to the work they do and its impact on families.”

Glenis continues to do research work and is in her last year of a Master’s degree in professional creative

practice through Toihoukura.“I don’t sleep much!” she says.Glenis loves to write and her art involves

looking at how words have been used by artists to convey a story, narrative or evoke emotion. She’s already looking at doing her PhD.

Her heart belongs to Reporua, a spot just out of Ruatorea with a tiny resident population of six.

“hat is the centre of my universe,” she says.

“here is no cellphone reception and no wi-i, so when I go back home to the shearers’ quarters on the land where my great-grandparents grew up, or to the marae, I’m in heaven. I get to potter around, go ishing, chip thistles, spend the day at the beach or cleaning headstones at the urupā with all the whānau.

“Getting of-grid and reconnected with the land and people who continue to give life to generations of our whānau is really important to me.”

2 THE GISBORNE HERALD

LEAD

Ross Buscke was farewelled by friends, and employers and staf from Carrields Primary Wool, in a special private function at the

Gisborne Tatapouri Sports Fishing Club last week.

He was presented with a special trophy by his workmates from Carrields and the company made a presentation to him too.

“I was touched by it. It was a special night for my wife Lyn and I.”

Ross said ending full time employment was proving to be a bit of wrench.

“I’m feeling a bit lost at the moment to be honest, and I’m intending to ind other things to do. I’ve always been someone who likes to be kept busy.”

Ross has no plans to stop working completely.

“I’m available to do ram selections and wool preparation for those farmers who want me, and also quality control with shearing contractors.

“I feel that what I have gained with my farming experience, and what I have gained from the wool industry, should not go to waste.

“I want to continue to pass on that knowledge.”

Ross managed Manawanui Station at Matawai for 25 years prior to going into the wool industry.

“While I was up there at Matawai I was always keen on wool.

“I learned a lot while on a working holiday in Australia, working in shearing sheds

alongside an Aussie wool classer. hat was in the mid-1960s.”

Ross said wool had always been a “fascination” for him.

“It’s such a fabulous product. It’s so versatile in terms of what can be done with it.”

Ross said it was unfortunate that so much of the wool focus in the North Island was on crossbred stronger wool, as opposed to the iner wools of merino sheep in the South Island.

“he merino wools go into clothing and the stronger wools predominantly go into carpets.”

Ross runs a small merino lock on the family property on Back Ormond Road.

“It’s a paying hobby for me. I get a hang of a kick out of it, seeing what beautiful merino leeces can be produced here in Gisborne.”

He currently has 35 merino ewes in-lamb and a sole ram to service the lock.

Ross enters his merino leeces every year at the Gisborne A&P Spring Show, and has won the merino section for close to 10 years.

He has been head steward in the wool section at the Show since 1989 and was involved in that aspect for the town and country get-together from the 1960s.

“I intend to carry on my involvement with the wool section at the Show. I enjoy it very much.”

Dog trials will get more of his time now.“hat’s something else I’m very keen on,” he

says.He commentates on dog trials in the

district on Newstalk ZB’s Saturday morning

Larsawn Gisborne Sports Show.Ross said his wife Lyn got used to having

her husband at home more often during the Covid-19 lockdown.

“It brought back memories of us both working together on the farm at Matawai. She is happy I’m going to spend more time at home.”

Ross has watched the wool industry closely for half-a-century.

“Wool prices are terrible at the moment, and the chips are down when it comes to the value of wool.

“But I feel that’s the time when you’ve got to dig deep, and not let quality slip.

“Quality wool will always sell, even on a low market.”

Ross points out that it would cost farmers

the same money to shear a bad-woolled sheep as a good one.

“I’d like to see that farmers don’t just let wool production and quality go.”

He believes the wool industry could rebound in terms of the value of the product.

“It’s just a bit hard at the moment, because of Covid-19, to predict when that rebound might happen.

“But at least the Chinese are still operating at a time when wool industries in a lot of countries are at low capacity because of the pandemic.

“We only supply about one and a half percent of our wool to China. So it would be good to see that grow.

“I hope it does, because that will help our wool industry rebound.”

Long-time expert wool classer and wool consultant Ross Buscke has called time on a 25-year career in the wool industry but he’s still working with wool in his semi-retirement. Ross talks to Murray Robertson about his fascination for this versatile product . . .

WOOL MAN RETIRES: Ross Buscke has been a wool consultant for 25 years, and before that he ran a station at Matawai for the same number of years. He has called time on his long career in the wool industry, but has no plans to stop work completely. Ross is pictured (above) with some of the merinos he farms on Back Ormond Road.

PROFILE

While we all miss the warm summer months where our motivation levels to lace up our sneakers, get some exercise and

devour an abundance of leafy greens are a lot higher, winter is actually a great time to slow down and focus on nourishing the body.

Here are some of the tips I’ve been recommending to my clients this winter.

• Sleep. Yes, I give you full permission to snuggle back down in bed with a hot-water bottle on a frosty cold morning. When we sleep, our bodies repair and recharge — aim for eight hours a night.

• Slow-cooked foods. Not only do many of these recipes include your slow cooker, meaning no cooking when you return home in the evening, they are also warming, nutrient-dense, and an easy way to use up any vegetables lurking in your fridge.

• Embrace restorative exercise like yoga, pilates, and walking in nature. h ese types of exercise can help us to reduce stress and promote rest and relaxation, connect with our bodies and be in the present moment. Unless of course, you’re feeling up to a mid-winter swim? h at’s great for the body too.

• Our bodies are made up of 60 percent water. Water is essential for transporting nutrients throughout the body, promoting healthy digestion, regulating body temperature, and detoxii cation. . . not forgetting lubricating our joints and enhancing concentration and energy

production. Sip on warm water throughout the day and enjoy herbal tea breaks.

• Eat produce that is in season. Not only is seasonal produce more abundant, it is more nutrient-dense, rich in fl avour and easier on your wallet. A nutrient-dense diet is crucial for supporting your immune system throughout the cooler months and it is especially important to consume foods high in Vitamin C. So what should you eat? Plenty of green vegetables such as broccoli, brussel sprouts and silverbeet. And citrus fruit including grapefruit, lemons and oranges and root vegetables such as kumara, carrots, pumpkin and squash. Whether you grow your own, visit your local vegetable store or head out to forage at your local farmers’ market, knowing your vegetables are in season and where they came from is important and pretty special. Be sure to nourish yourself — your body will thank you for it.

• Nourish your gut. Did you know that 70-80 percent of your immune cells are located in your gut? � erefore, by nourishing your gut you are also supporting your immune system. Gut-nourishing foods include bone broth and omega-3 essential fatty acids found in oily fi sh, walnuts, chia seeds and fl ax seeds; and high-fi bre foods such as vegetables, especially leafy greens, gluten-free whole grains, nuts, seeds and legumes.Prebiotic foods — legumes, onion, garlic, leeks, oats — feed the benefi cial bacteria

in your gut. Fermented foods are slightly diff erent from prebiotic food in that they contain benefi cial bacteria that can support your intestinal/gut fl ora balance and diversity — sauerkraut, kombucha, kefi r, miso and yoghurt.

• Spice up your meals. Spices not only add fl avour but are also a lovely way to add warmth to your winter meals, soothe digestion, stimulate circulation, balance blood-sugar levels, boost micronutrient levels and some even have antimicrobial properties.

Get creative and add spices to your beverages and meals at any chance you get. A few of my favourite spice ideas:

— Sip on hot water with slices of fresh ginger. Ginger is fabulous for circulation and for easing nausea and reducing gas.

— Sprinkle cinnamon on your porridge or add to a smoothie or add a stick of cinnamon to your water bottle. Cinnamon is great for stabilising blood-sugar levels.

— Turmeric is known for its anti-infl ammatory properties. Sprinkle this into soups, curries and omelettes. You might even like to try swapping your morning coff ee for a turmeric latte.

Cardamom, clove and nutmeg are also great additions to curries, stews and soups, each providing their unique fl avour and health benefi ts.

• Eat more healthy fats. Quality fats help your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins A,

E, D and K from your vegetables and they work alongside your body to support healthy winter skin. Examples of good fats are extra virgin olive oil, hemp oil, fl axseed oil, avocado, coconut oil, nuts, seeds, oily fi sh, butter and ghee.

• QUALIFICATIONS:

Katie graduated from the University of Otago with a Bachelor of Consumer and Applied Science majoring in Food Science.

She is a certifi ed Integrative Nutrition Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

As a teen, my young friend Katie was a ‘pot-lid-lifter’, always wanting to know what was going on in the kitchen. Unlike most others of her generation, who, as teenagers were only interested in the end product of the cooking process, Katie was fascinated with the science behind the food. So it was no surprise to learn that she went on to study food science at Otago University and graduated with fl ying colours. Fast forward a few years and Katie is now a certifi ed Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, fulfi lling her dream to work in the area that intrigued her so much as a youngster. Katie talks to Justine Tyerman about ‘sloooooooowing down for winter’.

I’ve always had a keen interest in cooking and love few things more than seeing people enjoy food I’ve prepared. I’ll be honest though, writing recipes isn’t my

forte. I usually just throw things together with very little regard for quantities. I like to think cooking is an art; baking is a science. Which explains why you have a soup recipe in front of you rather than one for scones.

My partner Sam was sick at home at the end of last week. Nothing sinister, just your run-of-the-mill common cold, but defi nitely enough to call for something warm and immuno-boosting. With the air temperature getting closer and closer to zero each day that went on, it was a natural progression to move into soup territory.

I love the versatility of this broth and how easy it is to whip up. When I’m feeling particularly organised (it’s a rare occasion), I have big ice cube trays that I use to freeze the broth base so it’s simple to freeze and doesn’t take up large amounts of space in the freezer like a normal container would. It also makes defrosting portions a lot less of a hassle.

I’m a fi rm believer that cooking is best when you actually enjoy the end product,

so everything in my recipes is all about fl exibility to suit what’s in your fridge, budget and taste preference.

For vegetarian alternatives, swap out the chicken bone broth for vegetable stock. In place of the shredded chicken (or to pack more of a vege punch), lightly stir-fry your favourite vegetables in a dash of sesame oil and add to the broth.

I choose to enjoy my broth with cabbage and enoki mushrooms instead of noodles which is great as a low-carb or gluten-free alternative.

In a bind for time? Grab a rotisserie chicken instead, shred it up and add to the pot when the recipe says to add the chicken breast — you can now reduce the simmer time by 15 minutes.

CHICKEN MISO RAMENServes 4Prep time: 5 minsCooking time: 40 mins

INGREDIENTS:750ml chicken bone broth (stock is fi ne too)

500ml boiling water2tbsp fresh ginger, minced2 cloves garlic, minced1tbsp miso paste2 fresh chillis chopped1 cup dried shiitake mushrooms 1 tbsp soy sauce3 chicken breasts1 pack noodles (ramen, udon or soba are fi ne to use)A bag of baby spinach Lime juiceCoriander

METHOD:• Place the chicken bone broth, water, ginger, garlic, miso paste, chilli, shiitake mushrooms and soy sauce in a pot over medium heat until it reaches a slow boil. • Once boiling, turn the heat down to low and add the chicken breasts. Simmer for 25 minutes. • Remove the chicken from the broth, shred and then return to the pot along with the pack of noodles. Simmer for a further 5 minutes until the noodles are cooked.• Incorporate the bag of baby spinach into

the ramen. • To serve, divide between four bowls and top with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and freshly-chopped coriander. For an extra kick, drizzle a little chilli oil or fresh chilli over the top.

‘Emma Bell was only 15 years of age when she catered a large 18th birthday party for our younger daughter,’ writes Justine Tyerman. ‘� e food was a huge hit. Now living and working in Auckland, Emma loves to cook. Here’s her twist on an old favourite, chicken noodle soup.’

TRAVEL

Cruising is like a vacation that mums actually get to have. here is no organising what to eat or when, or trying to find food the kids

will actually eat, as the choices on board are endless and there’s something for everyone. �ere are kids clubs for the kids and they get to hang with kids their own ages, while the parents do whatever they want — laze by the pool and read or people-watch while waiting for the waiter to deliver pina coladas, then go to the gym and work off the beautiful breakfast/lunch.

Other options are — climb the rock wall; whisk down the water slides; take a cooking class or a dance class; do a whisky tasting; have a swim, sauna and spa; and get a facial, haircut or massage.

Or you can go to the casino and waste some money (something I have never done, nor will I ever do); play the arcades; ice skate if you’re brave enough to try it out on a moving ship; play basketball or football; join in on a quiz or play bingo; and watch a movie by the pool under the stars on the big screen.

he choice is yours — do all of it or nothing at all. Of course, not all cruise liners have all

these experiences on board — some have less and some have many more.

A new ship by Norwegian Cruise Lines has a go-cart race track on board while Carnival Cruises’ new Panorama of the Seas has a trampoline park and a sky track, which is kind of like biking in mid-air high above top deck. It also has its own craft brewery and smokehouse on board.

Our last cruise set sail from Galveston, on Liberty of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean Cruise ship. Galveston is a little island roughly 100km to the south of Houston, Texas. Houston was a direct Air New Zealand flight and it hopefully will be again one day.

he Liberty isn’t a new ship but has been well maintained and had all the above activities on board. Our room was a large internal family suite which means we had no portholes or balcony. However, we did have massive windows with window seats over- looking the central promenade of the ship which was filled with shops, cafes, bars and a 24-hour pizza place. �e master room of this cabin also had a walk-in wardrobe.

To the left of the cabin windows, high above the promenade floor, was a specially-

designed boardwalk where shows and music were performed. We had a great view from our cabin.

We had seven stops on this two-week cruise (we did two cruises back-to-back) through the western Caribbean, meaning we didn’t need to get off the ship and back on between cruises. We just stayed in the same cabin.

Galveston is a fantastic location to cruise from. It’s also a very beautiful place full of interesting history.

We stayed on in Galveston for a few nights after our cruise. We travelled at the very end of August so we didn’t pay a premium price for a summer cruise (I like to get bargains when I travel) but also trying to avoid the hurricane season which starts in September. After we disembarked our cruise a massive tropical storm blew in. he cruise that was meant to set sail on the same day as our return had to stay docked at the port.

I have never seen a storm like this. We just don’t get weather like that in New Zealand. But this was commonplace in Galveston. here was thunder and lightning all night long.

Next morning I had a class scheduled at

‘I know that cruising has had a bad rep lately due to the fall-out from Covid-19,’ writes Rebecca Leader, ‘but honestly a cruise is well worth doing. It’s very cost-efective, especially if you’re travelling with family. It allows you to visit diferent ports and perhaps stay a while to explore the port of departure before or after the cruise.hat’s what we did in Galveston, Texas.’

CrossFit Tidalwave, Galveston. I got up early, got ready and caught an Uber. I was picked up in a little Honda Civic. On the way to CrossFit, an alert came through to my phone saying to watch out for l ash-l ooding. By the time I was dropped off the water was almost to the fl oor of the car. � e driver had to drive up a ramp to the building so I could get out.

I did my CrossFit class which was an hour of sweating in the 100 percent humidity. When we were fi nished, the water had risen so much it was lapping under the framing of the building, which was built a lot higher than the road. � e black mats on the fl oor were fl oating in the water. I could no longer exit out the door I had entered through and had to leave through a side door and wade through mid-thigh-high water.

� is was nothing new for the others in the class and many graciously off ered to return me to my hotel which I gratefully accepted. I had a feeling no Uber would be collecting me.

� e next day we went into town. � e gutters in Galveston are about 500mm high. � is is to accommodate the massive volume of water that fl oods the city regularly. Stores have raised platforms within the shops to avoid being fl ooded. While we were in town we stopped for lunch and as I talked to the waiter, telling him about my exciting adventure the previous morning, he told me that water moccasins (pit vipers) were common in that area. I’m so pleased I wasn’t aware of that fact as I waded through that deep water. Water moccasins are known to be very aggressive and will attack

unprovoked. For some reason this tropical storm became one of the ‘highlights’ of our holiday — it’s a great story and I love telling it.

Galveston is said to have been the home of Blackbeard the Pirate. He is said to have put a curse on the island so that once you have lived there you will always return.

� ere are craft breweries galore with some bars having up to 100 diff erent beers to try. Texas is the place that created my love of IPA. Rib joints are common and the people are friendly. � ere’s also a Tanger outlet shopping centre a short drive from Galveston on the mainland.

What more can anyone want. Great food, great beer, fantastic people, incredible shopping, adventures . . . and that is not all Galveston has to off er.

Tropical storm one of the ‘highlights’

Rebecca and Peter dressed up for a formal evening on the cruise.

So much to do ̶ pools, gym and a

giant waterslide on board the Liberty of

the Seas.

‘Galveston is a fantastic location to cruise from,’ says Rebecca. ‘It’s also a very beautiful place full of interesting history like this home dating back to the early 1900s.’

Climate change: for many an issue too big, too complex, too controversial/divisive, too abstract, too depressing, too

inconvenient . . . too hard.Climate change provides an opportunity

to reshape our communities to be safer, healthier, more equitable and resilient all while decarbonising, but it will require real conversations about what might happen and what we might do.

First the basics. Assistant Professor John Cook from George Mason University summarises a complex topic wonderfully in

10 words: It’s real. It’s us. It’s bad. Experts agree. here’s hope.

he surface temperature of the Earth is around 1C warmer than pre-industrial times and this has been validated independently many times. his warming is caused by humans through the release of greenhouse gases, most notably carbon dioxide and methane. If we keep emitting greenhouse gases the planet will keep warming.

here is no debate about any of this in the climate science community. Several reviews of academic literature and thousands of journal articles supports this. Unfortunately

there has been a well-funded misinformation campaign, akin to what the tobacco industry ran in the sixties to cloud the link between smoking and lung cancer, that has thrown a veil of confusion over climate science and delayed action.

he continued warming of the Earth will be bad in many ways. Weather events will be more extreme, there will be more floods and droughts, our crayish and shellish will struggle to grow shells as the sea’s chemistry changes. We’ll get new diseases. he Ministry for the Environment says “Parts of the North Island are likely to become receptive

to populations of the major mosquito vector of dengue fever”. he changes are here today. Water bubbling up through the drains during a king tide in hames wasn’t part of the plan.

he impacts of climate change won’t be felt equally either. he New Zealand Medical Association has said, “hose at greatest risk from the impacts of climate change in New Zealand include the most vulnerable population groups, eg Maori, Paciic peoples, children, the elderly and those on low incomes.” Communities in Tairawhiti will bear the brunt of this change if we allow it to continue.

But there is hope and we can avoid the worst of climate changes’ impact by contributing fairly to global efforts to reduce greenhouses gases. New Zealand can’t do it alone but then neither can any other country.

�e passing of the Zero Carbon Amendment in 2019, whose purpose is to contribute to keeping global warming below 1.5C, means that, in the words of James Shaw �e Minister for Climate Change, “. . . global CO2 emissions need to at least halve in the next 10 years”. �is is transformational in ways that are generally poorly understood.

Reducing greenhouse gases by at least 50 percent in a decade is a lot, but it is possible and will see us better off. How to do it?

�ere are many ways we could reduce our emissions and some are less hard than others. But they’re all pretty challenging. Our analysis suggests the least hard path for New Zealand is the almost complete decarbonisation of road transportation by 2030. If that sounds pretty radical that’s because it is. �e scale of change required globally to avoid the worst of climate change is large and has not been well communicated by governments, including our own because, in the words of one New Zealand politician, “it is not a vote winner”.

Decarbonising our fleet is possible by changing the way we travel. Less cars, more active and public travel. If the Gisborne fleet moves to electric vehicles supported by government policies, up to $60m every year would stay in the pockets of the people of Gisborne and much of the rest would flow back to the region for community-owned electricity distribution, rather than being paid to oil and gas companies. Other parts of the world are doing this, to the health and wealth beneit of their communities.

If we chose not to largely decarbonise transport by 2030, other sectors will need to take the load and the two big candidates are ruminant animals, that account for half New Zealand’s emissions, and forestry which soaks up about a third.

he forestry and agriculture sectors should now be screaming from the rooftops for policies to decarbonise the New Zealand transport fleet, to allow them time to rethink and evolve their business models. heir lack of voice and support for transport decarbonisation policies is a risk to their jobs and communities.

Climate change will transform New Zealand and Tairawhiti whether we act or don’t act. If you want a say in how the transformation looks then you need to engage now.

So what can you do? Start by talking constructively to someone about climate change today. Get petrol and diesel out of your life and business. And come September, vote for climate action like your lifestyle and that of future generations depends on it. Because it does.
