Furs to Furriers in Dunedin, New Zealand, to 1940 Evan James Tosh Furs to Furriers in Dunedin, New Zealand, to 1940 Evan James Tosh A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Consumer and Applied Science at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. August 2005 Declaration To be added later ii Abstract This thesis chronicles the development of the fur trade in Dunedin from the 1870s to 1940. The fur trade in Dunedin started in response to the large numbers of rabbit skins and meat that were able to be marketed following the explosion in introduced rabbit numbers in the 1870s. Most rabbit traders diversified into buying and selling other products of the land, but a few became more involved in the fur trade, by concentrating on the rabbit trade or by diversifying into fur dressing and/or manufacturing and retailing fur garments. Dunedin became the major source of skins for export, and also was home to the main fur processing factory, and largest fur garment manufacturing operation in the country. Government measures to foster local industries and employment through the use of protective tariffs are examined. The demand for fur garments and the protection of these tariffs aided the development of fur garment manufacturers from 1920 onwards. The controversy over whether the commercial use of rabbits hindered the policy of rabbit destruction is examined. Whilst the Government tried to encourage rabbit destruction it did not hinder the trade in rabbit meat or skins. This contrasts with the official attitude to opossums, as population increases were encouraged in order to build up a fur trades. But by the late 1920s it was realised that the opossum was actually damaging forests and had become a pest. Similar good ideas, such as introduction of the natural enemies of rabbits in the 1890s, such as ferrets and weasels, were also identified as environmentally disastrous in this period. During the depression fur prices dropped, and this affected trappers and skin dealers, but allowed manufacturers to produce a cheaper range of fur products to satisfy the continuing demand for fur. Fur prices increased after the depression, fur garments remained popular, and the fur trade continued to thrive. The fur manufacturers future was jeopardised in 1938 by crisis in New Zealand’s foreign exchange situation. Quantitative import restrictions were introduced, and these initially included a ban on the import of raw and processed furs (as well as garments). The fur trade successfully lobbied, and were able to get some restrictions lifted on raw skins. However this coincided with the advent of New Zealand’s involvement in the Second World War and the thesis ends with the fur trade waiting to see how it will be affected by the introduction of war time trade restrictions. iii Acknowledgements The author wishes to gratefully acknowledge the following people: My wife, Rhonda, and our children David, Morgan, Eleanor, Alan and Claire, for their patience and tolerance whilst this thesis was being researched and written.

  • TEC MEMBER E-DIRECTORY October 2016
    TEC MEMBER E-DIRECTORY October 2016 What is the Tourism Export Council of New Zealand? The Tourism Export Council of New Zealand is a trade association that has represented the interests of inbound tourism since 1971. Their inbound members package holidays for international visitors whether they be part of a group tour, independent traveller, conference/incentives, education or cruise visitors. What do we do & who do we represent? The Tourism Export Council’s focus is to build long term business relationships with distribution networks in New Zealand and offshore. The relationship with product suppliers in New Zealand and offshore wholesalers is integral to the country’s continued growth as a visitor destination. Member categories include: . Inbound member - inbound tour operators (ITO’s) . Allied member - attraction, activity, accommodation, transport and tourism service suppliers Examples of the allied membership include: . Attraction – Milford Sound, SkyTower, Te Papa Museum . Activities – Jetboating, Whalewatch, Maori Culture show . Accommodation – hotels, luxury lodges, backpackers . Transport – airlines, bus & coaches, sea transport, shuttles . Tourism services – Regional Tourism Organisations (RTO’s) digital & marketing companies, education & tourism agencies eg. DOC, Service IQ, Qualmark, AA Tourism, BTM Marketing, ReserveGroup Why is tourism considered an export industry? Tourism, like agriculture is one of New Zealand’s biggest income earners. Both are export industries because they bring in foreign dollars to New Zealand. With agriculture, you grow an apple, send it offshore and a foreigner eats it. A clear pathway of a New Zealand product consumed or purchased by someone overseas. Tourism works slightly differently: The product is still developed in NZ (just like the apple) It is sold offshore (like the apple) It is purchased by a foreigner (again like the apple) BUT it is experienced in NZ and therein lies the difference.

  • Rail and Maritime Transport Union Submission on Dunedin Railways Ltd Proposal: ‘Mothball Operation and Restructure of Business’ Dated 20 April 2020
    Rail & Maritime Transport Union 30 April 2020 Rail and Maritime Transport Union Submission on Dunedin Railways Ltd Proposal: ‘Mothball Operation and Restructure of Business’ dated 20 April 2020 Summary Dunedin Railways Ltd (‘DRL’) has failed to meaningfully consult on its so-called proposal to cease train services and mothball its assets with the loss of around 70 jobs. DRL has failed to follow Dunedin City Council’s (‘DCC’) instruction on ‘…mothball[ing] the business with a view to exploring feasibility of a small number of alternative options for the company’s assets.’ Rather DRL has tabled a proposal so lacking in detail as to be meaningless. This raises real questions regarding the competence and fitness of DRL’s board and management. DRL has a recent record of failing to engage in adequate community consultation. The RMTU calls for: 1. The immediate dismissal of the current board and the appointment of a new board with staff representation; 2. Genuine and good faith engagement by DRL management with staff and their union to investigate alternative options for the future of DRL; 3. This must be a genuine process that considers the wider picture of DRL’s valued contribution to Dunedin including, but not limited to ,adding to the city’s tourist offering, delivering wider economic benefits, and remaining a part of the city’s heritage. 1 Rail & Maritime Transport Union 30 April 2020 Background 1. The Rail and Maritime Transport Union (“RMTU”) represents almost 50 workers at Dunedin Railways Ltd (“DRL”). These staff have between them, hundreds of years of accumulated service.

  • James Macandrew of Otago Slippery Jim Or a Leader Staunch and True?
    JAMES MACANDREW OF OTAGO SLIPPERY JIM OR A LEADER STAUNCH AND TRUE? BY RODERICK JOHN BUNCE A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2013 iii ABSTRACT James Macandrew, a Scotsman who migrated to Dunedin in 1851, was variously a businessman, twice Superintendent of Otago Province, an imprisoned bankrupt and a Minister of the Crown. He was an active participant in provincial and colonial politics for 36 years and was associated with most of the major political events in New Zealand during that time. Macandrew was a passionate and persuasive advocate for the speedy development of New Zealand’s infrastructure to stimulate the expansion of settlement. He initiated a steamer service between New Zealand and Australia in 1858 but was bankrupt by 1860. While Superintendent of Otago in 1860 and 1867–76 he was able to advance major harbour, transport and educational projects. As Minister of Public Works in George Grey’s Ministry from 1878–79 he promoted an extensive expansion of the country’s railway system. In Parliament, he was a staunch advocate of easier access to land for all settlers, and a promoter of liberal social legislation which was enacted a decade later by the Seddon Government. His life was interwoven with three influential settlers, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Julius Vogel and George Grey, who variously dominated the political landscape. Macandrew has been portrayed as an opportunist who exploited these relationships, but this study will demonstrate that while he often served these men as a subordinate, as a mentor he influenced their political beliefs and behaviour.

  • Dunedin Railways Workers Propose Positive Solutions to Prevent Closure
    Dunedin Railways workers propose positive solutions to prevent closure Rail and Maritime Transport Union media release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday 30 April 2020 Workers at Dunedin Railways Limited (DRL) have put forward a proposal to reinvigorate the company, retaining the iconic Taieri Gorge Railway and saving up to 70 jobs. Rail and Maritime Transport Union Otago Branch Secretary Dave Kearns says the union, representing about fifty workers at Dunedin Railways, has today submitted the proposal (attached) as part of the consultation process with management. Dunedin Railways is 100% owned by Dunedin City Holdings Limited, the business arm of the Dunedin City Council. Mr Kearns says the DRL Board of Directors had a ‘negative mindset’ and had recommended closing the railway to the Dunedin City Council, blaming falling revenues due to the COVID19 pandemic. Dunedin City Councillors had voted to mothball the railway instead, but Mr Kearns says he is concerned that they have not been given the correct information about how this would work. ‘The DRL plan is meaningless as it is so lacking in detail. This raises questions regarding the competence and fitness of DRL’s board and senior management.’ Mr Kearns says there are a number of opportunities for rail services that have been ignored. Options included the reconfiguration of the business away from the cruise ship market to the domestic market. There was potential for staff and rolling stock to provide commuter services to local destinations such as Mosgiel and Port Chalmers, as well as the establishment of long distance passenger services between Dunedin and other cities on the main south line.
