  • Gonna Drink, Get Drunk a History and Ethnography of Alcohol in Rarotonga, Cook Islands
    Gonna Drink, Get Drunk A History and Ethnography of Alcohol in Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Vaughn Koops Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2002 Key Centre for Women’s Health in Society Department of Public Health The University of Melbourne DECLARATION This is to certify that (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is less than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. …………………………………………………………………………. ii ABSTRACT This thesis describes the place of alcohol in the lives of people from Rarotonga, Cook Islands. It incorporates historical and ethnographic analyses to provide the broad context of drinking by people aged from their teens to late thirties. The historical component of this study describes specific accounts of alcohol consumption, and situates these with regard to changes that occurred in Rarotonga from the early 19th century. Prior to contact with Papa’a (Europeans), people of Rarotonga neither produced nor consumed alcoholic beverages. Thus, the use of alcohol was a phenomenon intimately bound up with global exploration, proselytisation and trade. I trace historical changes in the distribution of power, resources, religious practice, and social discourse, and show how alcohol practice, distribution, and trade was linked to these changes from missionary contact onward. This history informs the ethnography of contemporary drinking practices. Individual and group practices and understandings of alcohol are described. I also describe the contribution of state policy, commercial interests, government institutions, and religious organisations to the place of alcohol in Rarotonga.

What skills does he have to justify $330,000 a year plus the many extras? Whenever Neves produces any resemblance of a statement of the nation’s finances they are fertiliser for seeds of doubt he and his Minister Mark Brown has any fiscal competencies. The invention of their brand of financial gibberish is rightly and best labelled Nenevanomics. Neves‘ latest attempt to hood wink the public that the state of our sovereign funds is in a good space with the further outlook sunshine and roses continues to reflect he is drowning in a cesspool of incompetence’s.

Firstly, my thanks and appreciation to our Reverend for the deliverance of our message today in assisting us with our deliberations in this Honourable House. My greetings go out to our people in the Northern and Southern Groups and here on Rarotonga, listening to the radio this afternoon. I would like to say thank you to all the Members who accepted the invitation from a group, for their presentation to Parliament this afternoon. I thank all of you. The first announcement this afternoon is that we are still under the COVID-19 rules. We are reminded to remain sitting when speaking and to speak from behind the barriers. To keep washing our hands with the hand sanitisers and to dispose of your used tissues in the bags provided. We will continue with this until we have further notice from the Ministry of Health informing us that we will no longer need to observe these measures. Secondly, as requested and recommended by our audio and sound team recording our proceedings, so please when you speak, speak directly into the mic so your speech is captured accurately and clearly, for our record.
