  • LOVE BIRDS (102 Min) Directed by Paul Murphy Starring Rhys Darby, Sally Hawkins, Emily Barclay
    REVIEW: THE LOVE BIRDS (102 min) Directed by Paul Murphy Starring Rhys Darby, Sally Hawkins, Emily Barclay After playing wingman to Flight of the Conchords and salesman for many others (as well as appearances in Jim Carrey's Yes Man and Brit comedy The Boat That Rocked), Rhys Darby finally gets a film to call his own. While his post-Murray screen career has largely depended on his FOTC role or his manic stand-up persona, here, he's the straight guy in a very straight movie. Though the film gives him a lame, if very cute, duck as a sidekick, chirpy goofy English actress Sally Hawkins as a love interest and a Queen soundtrack which does threaten to turn this into We Will Rock You: The Movie. But the songs generate some of the biggest laughs in what is an endearingly funny, if sugar-coated local romantic comedy. And one which seems to have a surfeit of supporting characters, and a weak opening among its flaws. Oh and some intrusive product placement. It is a very nice advertisement for Auckland too, though it might be best to see it outside the city where your fellow cinema patrons aren't cooing "'oooh look Northcote" to each other. And in one memorable scene it puts a fine case for a cycle lane on the harbour bridge. With his various comic foils, web-footed and otherwise, it allows Darby to restrain himself and carry the film as its romantic lead, one who doesn't have much in common with Hugh Grant, as has been the film's sales pitch, but whoe resembles a distant cousin to Hugh Jackman.

  • “The Defection of Women”: the New Zealand Contagious Diseases Act Repeal Campaign and Transnational Feminist Dialogue in the Late Nineteenth Century
    1 “The Defection of Women”: the New Zealand Contagious Diseases Act Repeal Campaign and Transnational Feminist Dialogue in the Late Nineteenth Century James Keating (UNSW) [email protected] Author accepted manuscript of ‘“The Defection of Women”: the New Zealand Contagious Diseases Act Repeal Campaign and Transnational Feminist Dialogue in the Late Nineteenth Century,’ Women’s History Review 25, no. 2 (2016): 187–206. 2 Abstract: Over the past decade, historians have situated feminist reformers’ efforts to dismantle the British imperial contagious diseases apparatus at the heart of the transnational turn in women’s history. New Zealand was an early emulator of British prostitution regulations, which provoked an organised repeal campaign in the 1880s, yet the colony is seldom considered in these debates. Tracing the dialogue concerning the repeal of contagious diseases legislation between British and New Zealand feminists in the 1890s, this article reaffirms the salience of political developments in the settler colonies for metropolitan reformers. A close reading of these interactions, catalysed by the Auckland Women’s Liberal League’s endorsement of the Act in 1895, reveals recently enfranchised New Zealand women’s desire to act as model citizens for the benefit of metropolitan suffragists. Furthermore, it highlights the asymmetries that remained characteristic of the relationship between British feminists and their enfranchised Antipodean counterparts. 3 ‘The Defection of Women’: the New Zealand Contagious Diseases Act repeal campaign and transnational feminist dialogue in the late nineteenth century Despairing of the faltering imperial campaign to abolish state-regulated prostitution, in 1895 the British social purity activist Josephine Butler decried the tendency for women’s organisations to advocate regulation.

    100 Playing the Trump card: Glorifying Aotearoa New Zealand feminism in ‘dangerous times’ SALLY CRAWFORD Abstract The Women’s March took place globally on 21 to 22 January, 2017. It was organised by a collective of women from around the world advocating for women’s rights and allied social justice concerns, and was catalysed by Donald Trump’s inauguration and administration. Aotearoa New Zealand joined in this global event, holding marches across many diferent regions in support of the main Women’s March in Washington, United States. However, despite these global outcries of solidarity, the march lacked an intersectional approach in its feminist goals. This article summarises research from the author’s Honours dissertation, carried out at the University of Auckland, where the author used the Women’s March protests throughout Aotearoa New Zealand to explore how feminism is currently articulated in this country. They investigated this question over a period of 12 weeks through discourse analysis of mainstream Aotearoa New Zealand newspaper articles. Two of the notable fndings from the data are discussed in this article. Firstly, New Zealanders have a tendency to heroise themselves in terms of achieving women’s rights and freedoms. Second, issues of inclusion and intersectionality were highlighted through the discourse analysis. While Aotearoa New Zealand feminism has tried to be inclusionary in its approach and is presented by feminists as a ‘diverse’ movement, it still fails to take an intersectional approach. In contrast to the popularised notion of Aotearoa New Zealand feminism as world-leading, the author argues that feminism still has a long way to go in this country.

  • The Fight to Vote the Trial VOTEཟ
    THE FIGHTTO by Susan Paris VOTE It's hard to imagine a world where women can't vote. Yet up until 1893, this was the reality. Not one country allowed women to have a say in their national government. In some parts of the world, it would stay that way for a long time. New Zealand was different. On 28 November 1893, women went to the polling booth ght. for the fi rst time. It was a famous victory –fi a radical change – but it didn't come without a Women’s Rights In early colonial New Zealand, women had few rights. Most worked at home, looking after their families, and left politics to men. In the 1860s, however, women began to speak out. They wanted equal rights in marriage, education, and employment. Most importantly, they wanted to help shape society. They wanted to vote. Why the First? Women in New Zealand weren’t acting alone.

    COVER IMAGE Natasha Te Arahori Keating & Bethany Matai Edmunds, ‘Te Kōpū’, an installation held at Māngere Arts Centre Ngā Tohu o Uenuku, 27 January – 3 March 2018. ‘Te Kōpū’ is a collaborative exhibition showcasing the work of Natasha Te Arahori (Ngāti Tūwharetoa and Ngāi Tūhoe), and Bethany Matai Edmunds (Ngāti Kuri). The collaborative works are paintings on upcycled native timber by Keating, and woven adornments by Edmunds, made from flowers and fibres harvested in the bush and the streets of Tāmaki Makaurau. In this exhibition the artists create a space in which atua wāhine — Māori goddesses — are depicted. As wāhine Māori, the artists are challenging the known creation narratives, often authored by non-Māori males, and in so doing creating a safe place from which reflection can take place. The exhibition also acknowledges the political legacy of the women who asserted their right to vote, and is part of the wider celebration of women’s suffrage.
