Published in September 2004 by the Health Research Council of New Zealand, PO Box 5541, Wellesley Street, Auckland, New Zealand; Telephone 09 379 8227, Fax 09 377 9988, Email [email protected]. This document is available on the Health Research Council of New Zealand website http://www.hrc.govt.nz and the Mental Health Research and Development Strategy website http://www.mhrds.govt.nz ISBN 0-908700-35-0 “…I believe that our Pacific people understand in our own way what discrimination and stigma is, through their own personal experience, can help see people for who they are, that they aren’t just being mental health [consumers], they are actually consumers who have communities, who have value outside of the label that’s forced on them.” (Pacific mental health consumer). “As Pacific Island people we are still very community minded, we are not from the capitalist world. There is a danger of working too much from our heart, with our calculating financial cost and all that. We need to balance it. But I think they [Pacific mental health service providers] are very much…working from the heart in a way that people who were brought up under the capitalist system are not…and I think those are the things that make us, makes our [Pacific] service uniquely Pacific and makes it work well, because you can connect.” (Pacific family member). “…One most significant and very important [thing] I see, is the culture.[…] It is not only the way we talk but [the] way of bringing people together and talk about our own understanding of the sickness.” (Pacific Service Provider Participant). “For the Native person to be whole, the physical, the mental, the emotional, the spiritual all have to be in the circle. All those things have to be in balance for a person to be healthy. […] I want to see our Native ways of knowing, learning and teaching recognized. We need to ensure that our Native ways are being taught as well as the ways of the western world.” (Patricia Longley Cochran, Executive Director of the Alaska Native Science Commission). “Defining mental health is almost as tricky as defining spirituality. It is another elusive concept and like spirituality, an utterly subjective experience. For me, it means knowing who I am and accepting that. Mental health is the state of freedom which comes from accepting one’s self and taking responsibility for one’s actions. It is many other things as well of course – acceptance of others as they are, acceptance of life as it is, knowing when and how to change and when and how to let go.” (Julie Leibrich, 2001). i About the Team Dr Francis Agnew: (MBChB, FRANZCP, FAChAM).

  • How Tuna Is Shaping Regional Diplomacy
    18 How Tuna is Shaping Regional Diplomacy Transform Aqorau Introduction This chapter examines how tuna has shaped regional politics and influenced the relationship between the Pacific Island states and two of the world’s largest trading blocs, the United States and the European Union (EU). This relationship has come under stress in recent years because of the development of arrangements such as the purse seine Vessel Day Scheme (VDS),1 the emergence of regional alliances such as the Parties to the Nauru Agreement (PNA) grouping of countries, and because of the strong desire of the Pacific Island states to control their tuna fisheries and maximise their share of the economic benefits flowing from the exploitation of their tuna resources. The geopolitical underpinnings of the region’s tuna management provide an interesting backdrop to this analysis. All of the world’s major trading states are involved in this fishery — Japan, Korea, the United States, the EU, and China. Japan has the longest presence in the region’s tuna fishery. More recently, China has become a major force in the longline fishery. The region’s tuna 1 The VDS is a management measure that sets a limit on the number of days purse seine vessels are allowed to fish in the waters of the Parties to the Nauru Agreement (PNA) group of countries and Tokelau. The days are allocated to each party, who then charge fishing companies/vessels for each day they fish. 223 THE NEW PACIFIC DIPLOMACY resources have become a key focal point for the prosecution of the strategic geopolitical interests of these powers.

  • Friday 19 February HBF Park | 7.00Pm DEAR PLAYERS, MEMBERS and FANS
    Round 1 FORCE v BRUMBIES Friday 19 February HBF Park | 7.00pm DEAR PLAYERS, MEMBERS AND FANS, As an absolute lover of the ‘game played in heaven’, the first match of the season whether a player, coach, spectator or an administrator, is exciting and full of expectation. It is even more so in 2021 when one considers that the last time the Force played in Super Rugby here in Perth was July 2017; three years, seven months and four days ago! I am sure you are as thrilled as I am to have the Force back in action right here in WA where we belong. I welcome you all to the season opener at HBF Park! Tonight’s game is a big occasion for the Western Force as we take on the reigning Super Rugby AU champions. With several high- profile international recruits, Australians returning from overseas and a significant number of loyal fan-favourites continuing their journey with the club, the squad is looking very strong. There is nothing better than live rugby in front of your home fans. In 2021, we have a minimum of three more home games in the Australian competition, followed by Super Rugby Trans- Tasman; you will be able to see the Force play against the always entertaining Chiefs and Highlanders from New Zealand in Perth again. Plus, a special one-off event here at HBF Park with an opponent still to be confirmed. Enjoy the game!
