Kia ora,
Firstly for you this week, we have a personal look at the story of the SS Ventnor and the connections
between local iwi in the Hokianga and Chinese community that grew out of the 1902 shipwreck.
Close to 160 sister city links exist between New Zealand and the rest of the world - and more than half of
those links are with Asia. So what exactly is a sister city and how do these relationships work? The AMC
takes a look.
And tourism analyst Gary Bowerman joins us for a look at how countries across Asia are battling with the
risks and logistics around developing their own post-Covid travel bubbles.
We've got the normal roundup of news and interesting stories from across the region too, so sit back and
enjoy!
Ngā mihi,

James To has this personal account of his experience as part of a 150-strong New Zealand Chinese
Association (NZCA) group paying respect to their tūpuna in the Hokianga – acknowledging and thanking
local iwi in the region for taking care of the bones of 499 dead Chinese goldminers, lost at sea in the
sinking of the SS Ventnor in 1902.

What exactly is a sister city and what does it mean to have them? Sister cities have a strong history in New
Zealand that is celebrated to this day – just last week, the organisation Sister Cities New Zealand hosted
its 40th annual conference. The AMC went along to learn more about New Zealand's growing links with
overseas.

Fitch Ratings-Sydney-06 July 2020: The reopening of Australia's economy, as social distancing measures
are eased, does not have a uniform impact across corporate and infrastructure ratings, says Fitch Ratings.
While the economy appears to be on a path to recovery, activity in some sectors is likely to remain
subdued, and the impact on ratings is likely to be driven by the government's stimulus package.
Given the circumstances, Fitch believes there is an increasing likelihood of the federal government
providing further, more targeted stimulus to affected sectors beyond end-September, when measures in
place are due to end. Without these stimulus measures, the economy and credit profiles of our rated
issuers would be severely impacted.
The Australian economy is now re-opening under a national framework set out by the National Cabinet,
with removal of restrictions is occurring on a state-by-state basis. The re-openings have already benefited
businesses throughout the nation, and we expect the removal of further restrictions to continue to support
businesses and the economy. Fitch recently revised Australia's 2020 GDP forecast to a contraction of 2.7%
from a fal of 5.0% previously, reflecting better-than-expected economic data and relative successes in
virus containment. However, we do not expect a smooth recovery as some restrictions will remain, and
local governments may re-impose more severe restrictions to address localised outbreaks, as we have
seen fol owing an outbreak in Melbourne in recent days.
Fitch believes that activity in some sectors is likely to remain subdued and that the government wil provide
further stimulus to these affected sectors. In particular, we believe that sectors with exposure to
infrastructure - such as homebuilders and construction and engineering companies, like Fitch-rated issuers
Lendlease Corporation Limited (BBB-/Stable) and Mirvac Limited (A-/Stable) - will receive the most benefit
from further fiscal stimulus. To date, the federal government has announced grants of AUD25,000 to entice
new-home builds or substantial renovations. It also brought forward a further AUD1.5 bil ion in planned
infrastructure spending, adding to the AUD7.8 bil ion announced in November 2019. Industry
superannuation funds also announced they will invest around AUD20 bil ion in infrastructure and property
over the next three years to aid the recovery.
The tourism sector was one of the hardest hit fol owing the lockdowns due to the restrictions on movement
and closure of both state and national borders. Virgin Australia Holdings Limited (D) and Qantas Airways
Limited (not rated) received limited support from the Australian government in the form of rebates and
subsidies. Direct financial assistance was only given to regional airlines, including Regional Express

Fitch Ratings-Hong Kong-21 April 2021: Economic co-dependencies between Australia and China wil
restrain Chinese policymakers from targeting products such as iron ore that are core to the bilateral trade
relationship, even if political and trade frictions between the two countries continue to escalate, says Fitch
Ratings.
We expect any further punitive trade measures imposed by China to target Australia’s smaller export
categories. This would reduce the risk of adverse effects on China’s labour market or near-term growth
prospects, in contrast to targeting products like iron ore – Australia’s largest export to China – which are
critical inputs for China’s industrial development. This suggests that the potential economic spillovers to
Australia’s growth outlook from Chinese trade restrictions would be modest.

Company-level risks for Australian firms in sectors targeted by Chinese measures may be more serious.
Some sectors hit by Chinese actions, such as barley, copper and coal, have been able to find alternative
export markets, but others with more limited diversification prospects, such as wine, have been more
affected.
Australia’s education and tourism exports to China fel in the year ending 30 June 2020, but it is hard to
disaggregate the impact of bilateral tensions from that of the Covid-19 pandemic. China faces geopolitical

disputes with other major English-language offshore education centres, such as the US, UK, and Canada,
which may mitigate the risk of a steep drop in Chinese student arrivals in the medium-term.
In the longer term, Australia’s commodity export competitiveness faces risks stemming from potential
overseas supply increases and shifts in demand driven by environmental and industrial policies. Many of
these risks are typical of commodity exporters general y, but tensions with China could play an important
role in some of these dynamics.

Bubbles are beautiful but fragile things. Not letting the new one break matters.
New Zealand’s coming free-travel area with Australia is not the world’s first. Covid-free Palau and Taiwan
beat us to it last week. But it will be the most substantial one thanks to strong trans-Tasman links.
The closed border imposed massive costs on families kept apart; on communities that relied on trans-
Tasman tourism; and, on businesses that depend on travel between the two countries. The last on that list
may be underappreciated. In 2019, the stock of Australian foreign investment in New Zealand was $129
billion. Not being able to pop round to check one’s investment for over a year can have consequences.
Maintaining quarantine-free travel with Australia is important. Expanding the bubble to include other Covid-
free places like Taiwan and the Pacific Islands should be next. Both require keeping Covid out. Localised
outbreaks would cause travel headaches, but broader outbreaks could break the bubble.
New Zealand’s MIQ system has barely held together over the past year. Otago public health researchers
tal ied thirteen border failures since July, and at least six internal MIQ facility failures. Despite being a year
into this, basic errors continue to be made – like gathering visitors from different facilities onto the same
bus for trips out to the park.
2
Australians do not bring Covid into MIQ, though they might catch it there. Poor MIQ practice means new
arrivals can infect departing guests. Because the government knows that MIQ practice has been shoddy, it
does not trust the system to handle more people from riskier places like America, Canada, and the UK.
So the government will de-commission MIQ spaces rather than let them be used, and has halted travel
from India entirely.
If there were no way of improving safety in MIQ, limiting risk by limiting numbers would be the only option
until we are all vaccinated.
Alternatives are worth trying.
Testing every guest every day would sharply reduce transmission within MIQ. Infected people could quickly
be shuttled to quarantine.
Cheap, accurate, and non-invasive saliva-based PCR testing is available. Rako Science has capacity to
test every single person in MIQ, every day. But the Ministry of Health’s Request for Proposals only seeks
testing of border workers – who are now vaccinated and lower risk.
Tightening the border system matters if we want to keep the bubble. It could also let us re-commission
those MIQ spaces, so more Kiwis could come home.

Planning is the externality

Data from the OECD reveals extraordinary increases in the cost of housing in most countries.
Since 2000, house prices have gone up 39% after inflation across the OECD. The worst-performing
countries include the United States (up 46% since 2000), Great Britain (85%), Australia (119%) and
Canada (159%).
At the top of the list, coming dead last, is New Zealand. House prices here have risen a whopping 177%
after inflation since 2000.
3
And this dreadful result precedes the Reserve Bank’s quantitative easing which began in March 2020.
Since 1991, when the Resource Management Act passed, real house prices have risen at nearly 10% per
year. The OECD average for the same period was 1.5%. New Zealand has made it too hard to build a
house.
In theory, urban planning promises to bring better knowledge, information, data, theory and methods to
land use.
In practice, planning is the know-nothing recent graduate from the University of Whatever who declines
your request to put a turning bay on your property because that would affect the aesthetic appeal for
passers-by. Your family will just have to reverse out onto the four lane urban motorway.
For thirty years, the RMA has led to nonsense like this for the crime of trying to build a home.
It does not have to be this way. Planning exists to protect homeowners from ‘externalities’ – the risk that a
factory or skyscraper could go up next door.
But planning can do this job without making life so difficult for house builders. The US economist Wil iam
Fischel has shown the invention of comprehensive zoning in 1916 did not lead to rising house prices. Only
after environmentalism found planning in 1970, and later when houses came to be a class of investment,
did house prices take off.
Planning has become the externality, and nowhere more than in New Zealand. Our runaway house prices
are the inevitable result of putting delays and risk onto developers.
The solution to the housing crisis is not more planning, as last year’s Randerson report on the RMA
concluded. And it is not more subsidies and taxes.
Instead, we must recognise planning’s core function, re-consider the role of central and local governments
in land use decisions, and fix the council incentives underlying all of this chaos.
Rocketing house prices suggests New Zealand has got urban planning more wrong than any other OECD
country. Above all else, planning reforms must make it easier to build a house.

After much finger-pointing, the Government has finally found the real culprits behind high house prices.
Yes, it was the evil ‘speculators’ al along.
But what would drive seemly normal people to want to own two, and in some extreme cases, three
properties? How do speculators become speculators?
The surprising answer is Monopoly. Yes, the beloved board game, enjoyed by millions worldwide, has
been secretly corrupting Kiwi children for years. It makes perfect sense when you think about it. The game
is literally about buying up al the properties and charging high rents to unsuspecting tenants.
Thankful y, Hasbro, the makers of Monopoly, have seen the error of their ways. Fresh from their successful
Potato Head rebrand, they have now set their sights on making the world’s most popular property trading
board game more caring.
How? By modernising the Community Chest cards. You can even vote for your favourites here

On the way out are boring real-life events like, “Doctor’s fee - PAY $50”, “Bank error in your favour -
COLLECT $200”, “You inherit $100” and the plausible, but unlikely, “You have won second prize in a
beauty contest - COLLECT $10.”
In come new ‘it’s cool to be nice’ cards.
Unfortunately, the proposed cards have left me feeling a bit confused.
And it’s not just the “Meow! You knit sweaters for the hairless cats at your local animal shelter - COLLECT
$20” card. There are deeper problems.
And yes, these are all official proposals.
Take, for example, “You volunteer to run the social media accounts for a non-profit art centre, and you
meet some pretty talented people! - COLLECT $100”. Wait, isn’t the whole point of volunteering that you
don’t get paid?
Then there is “You help your neighbours clean up their yards after a big storm - COLLECT $200”. Profiting
during a disaster. Nice one!
And what about “You didn’t shop local! - PAY $50”. I wonder if buying a Chinese-made American board
game counts as shopping local.
This is fol owed by “You organise a bake sale for your local school - COLLECT $25”. Charity
embezzlement isn’t cool.
The turtles will be pleased with the “You help a neighbourhood party – but you didn’t recycle your trash -
PAY $100” card.
But the final straw is, “You rescue a puppy - and you feel rescued, too! - GET OUT OF JAIL FREE”
5
This has gone too far. It is time to take back our favourite game. So, I urge you to play unadulterated
Monopoly with your children over the school holidays. Let them experience the thril of exorbitant rents and
untaxed capital gains. While it is not as fun as real life, it’s stil fun.

Holdings Limited (Rex, not rated), under the AUD100 mil ion COVID-19 Regional Airlines Funding
Assistance programme.
We expect demand for domestic travel to increase in the short to medium term, which will benefit VAH and
Qantas - although Rex is reportedly looking to expand its network to include the Golden Triangle of
Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, which would see an increase in competition in the sector. Nevertheless,
the improving demand is likely to be aided by local governments helping to promote tourism within
Australia, which will help the sector offset losses from international tourism, which is unlikely to resume
until at least 2021. However, we do not expect domestic airline capacity to return to pre-pandemic levels
until at least the end of 2021.
Fitch also believes that the lockdowns have accelerated or wil drive structural changes in certain sectors,
and that these changes may have future rating impacts. We believe the most immediate of these is in the
retail sector, with the growth in online retailing during the pandemic continuing and leading to a permanent
reduction in retail spending in traditional brick-and-mortar stores. While we expect this to have a larger
impact on lower grade mall operators, Fitch revised Scentre Group Limited's (A/Negative) Outlook to
Negative to reflect its exposure to this change. We also expect some structural shifts in demand for
commercial property as businesses move to more flexible working arrangements, although we believe that
this structural shift will likely take more time due to the longer-term nature of commercial leasing contracts.
In other sectors affected by the restrictions and lower economic activity, such as gaming, business
services, mining and mining services, steelmaking, energy and utilities, we expect companies to continue
to focus on cost-cutting and delaying capex to manage their liquidity and shore up their balance sheets
while demand recovers. We also believe that transportation infrastructure assets will recover in line with the
economic recovery, with tol roads and ports likely to recover faster than airports.
The report "What Investors Want to Know: Reopening Plans in Australia" discusses what the reopening
means for ratings and the impact that it will have on a sector-by-sector basis across non-financial corporate
and infrastructure issuers. It can be found at www.fitchratings.com <http://74n5c4m7.r.eu-west-

Copyright © 2020 by Fitch Ratings, Inc., Fitch Ratings Ltd. and its subsidiaries. 33 Whitehall Street, NY,
NY 10004. Telephone: 1-800-753-4824, (212) 908-0500. Fax: (212) 480-4435. Reproduction or
retransmission in whole or in part is prohibited except by permission. Al rights reserved. In issuing and
maintaining its ratings and in making other reports (including forecast information), Fitch relies on factual
information it receives from issuers and underwriters and from other sources Fitch believes to be credible.
Fitch conducts a reasonable investigation of the factual information relied upon by it in accordance with its
ratings methodology, and obtains reasonable verification of that information from independent sources, to
the extent such sources are available for a given security or in a given jurisdiction. The manner of Fitch's
factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verification it obtains wil vary depending on the nature
of the rated security and its issuer, the requirements and practices in the jurisdiction in which the rated
security is offered and sold and/or the issuer is located, the availability and nature of relevant public
information, access to the management of the issuer and its advisers, the availability of pre-existing third-
party verifications such as audit reports, agreed-upon procedures letters, appraisals, actuarial reports,
engineering reports, legal opinions and other reports provided by third parties, the availability of
independent and competent third- party verification sources with respect to the particular security or in the
particular jurisdiction of the issuer, and a variety of other factors. Users of Fitch's ratings and reports should
understand that neither an enhanced factual investigation nor any third-party verification can ensure that al
of the information Fitch relies on in connection with a rating or a report will be accurate and complete.
Ultimately, the issuer and its advisers are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide to
Fitch and to the market in offering documents and other reports. In issuing its ratings and its reports, Fitch
must rely on the work of experts, including independent auditors with respect to financial statements and
attorneys with respect to legal and tax matters. Further, ratings and forecasts of financial and other
information are inherently forward-looking and embody assumptions and predictions about future events
that by their nature cannot be verified as facts. As a result, despite any verification of current facts, ratings
and forecasts can be affected by future events or conditions that were not anticipated at the time a rating or
forecast was issued or affirmed.
The information in this report is provided "as is" without any representation or warranty of any kind, and
Fitch does not represent or warrant that the report or any of its contents will meet any of the requirements
of a recipient of the report. A Fitch rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a security. This opinion
and reports made by Fitch are based on established criteria and methodologies that Fitch is continuously
3
evaluating and updating. Therefore, ratings and reports are the collective work product of Fitch and no
individual, or group of individuals, is solely responsible for a rating or a report. The rating does not address
the risk of loss due to risks other than credit risk, unless such risk is specifical y mentioned. Fitch is not
engaged in the offer or sale of any security. Al Fitch reports have shared authorship. Individuals identified
in a Fitch report were involved in, but are not solely responsible for, the opinions stated therein. The
individuals are named for contact purposes only. A report providing a Fitch rating is neither a prospectus
nor a substitute for the information assembled, verified and presented to investors by the issuer and its
agents in connection with the sale of the securities. Ratings may be changed or withdrawn at any time for
any reason in the sole discretion of Fitch. Fitch does not provide investment advice of any sort. Ratings are
not a recommendation to buy, sel , or hold any security. Ratings do not comment on the adequacy of
market price, the suitability of any security for a particular investor, or the tax-exempt nature or taxability of
payments made in respect to any security. Fitch receives fees from issuers, insurers, guarantors, other
obligors, and underwriters for rating securities. Such fees generally vary from US$1,000 to US$750,000 (or
the applicable currency equivalent) per issue. In certain cases, Fitch wil rate al or a number of issues
issued by a particular issuer, or insured or guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor, for a single
annual fee. Such fees are expected to vary from US$10,000 to US$1,500,000 (or the applicable currency
equivalent). The assignment, publication, or dissemination of a rating by Fitch shall not constitute a consent
by Fitch to use its name as an expert in connection with any registration statement filed under the United
States securities laws, the Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000 of the United Kingdom, or the
securities laws of any particular jurisdiction. Due to the relative efficiency of electronic publishing and
distribution, Fitch research may be available to electronic subscribers up to three days earlier than to print
subscribers.
For Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan and South Korea only: Fitch Australia Pty Ltd holds an Australian
financial services license (AFS license no. 337123) which authorizes it to provide credit ratings to
wholesale clients only. Credit ratings information published by Fitch is not intended to be used by persons
who are retail clients within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001 Fitch Ratings, Inc. is registered with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization
(the "NRSRO"). While certain of the NRSRO's credit rating subsidiaries are listed on Item 3 of Form
NRSRO and as such are authorized to issue credit ratings on behalf of the NRSRO (see
https://www.fitchratings.com/site/regulatory <https://74n5c4m7.r.eu-west-

credit rating subsidiaries are not listed on Form NRSRO (the "non-NRSROs") and therefore credit ratings
issued by those subsidiaries are not issued on behalf of the NRSRO. However, non-NRSRO personnel
may participate in determining credit ratings issued by or on behalf of the NRSRO.

With the Trans-Tasman travel bubble up and running successful y so far, nations across the region are
assessing their own situations and hoping to be open for business sooner rather than later. Tourism
analyst Gary Bowerman finds there are some significant issues yet to be sorted.

<https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail20.com/t/i-l-mkliykd-jlydhjdidi-o/>
On Monday morning, New Zealand's Foreign Affairs Minister Nanaia Mahuta delivered a powerful speech
about the future for New Zealand and China. Using metaphors which drew upon both Māori and Chinese
mythology, Mahuta acknowledged the Chinese diaspora who have lived and contributed to New Zealand
for over a century, China as New Zealand's important trading partner, and the respect required by both
sides to continue with a prosperous future relationship. You can read the ful speech here. (Image:

Despite starting her job 3-days-a-week, New Zealand's newest CEO, Rhiannon McKinnon, is now
responsible for $6 billion worth of investments for Kiwi Wealth. In this story for NZ Herald's Business Hub,
McKinnon talks of learning Mandarin after whilst working in the banking sector in China, moving to New
Zealand and having a family, and then going back to work here on a part-time basis before being promoted
2
to the top job. McKinnon also discusses balancing a family with a senior role, and why businesses could be
missing out on enormous talent by excluding those who can't work 40 hours-a-week due to other
committments.

In 93 days, Japan will attempt a global event like no other: an Olympic Games without international
spectators. As New Zealand begins vaccinating its athletes for travel, Stuff looks into the logistics of how
the delayed Tokyo 2020 games will actually function. While athletes' journey to Japan does begin 14 days
prior to their actual plane flight (with various, ahem, hurdles to jump), they won't have to quarantine if they
have a negative Covid test. But what other restrictions wil they face in a country where the public health
situation is getting worse and worse?

New Zealand 'uncomfortable' with expanding Five Eyes | Straits Times
<https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail20.com/t/i-l-mkliykd-jlydhjdidi-x/>
Last year, the Five Eyes (NZ, AU, UK, US, and Canada) discussed cooperation beyond intelligence
sharing, including on critical technology, Hong Kong, supply chains and the Covid-19 pandemic. However,
New Zealand has now said it is "uncomfortable" expanding the scope of the intel igence sharing network.
This comes off the back of Minister Mahuta's speech on China/NZ relations, who was later asked about the
telescopic expansion and replied New Zealand didn't favour invoking the Five Eyes for "messaging out on
a range of issues that real y exist out of the remit of the Five Eyes".

Is Japan ready for a Taiwan crisis? Scenarios warn of food and fuel shortage | Nikkei Asia
<https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail20.com/t/i-l-mkliykd-jlydhjdidi-c/>
Japan is "resource poor" when it comes to oil and food. Currently, it has only 250 days of fuel reserves and
its food self-sufficiency is below 40 percent. If the nation gets embroiled in a "Taiwan-style crisis" with
China, it risks major shortages: although it has two to three months' worth of rice and wheat stockpiles,
panic-buying could lead to a serious squeeze on al other supplies. In the manufacturing sector, companies
have been diversifying their supply chains away from China toward Southeast Asia, but if the South China
Sea becomes a "powder keg", those supply chains too will still be strangled, leaving companies with
nowhere to operate.

The Flickering Edge of Hope: Pakistan’s LGBTQ+ Community Battles Prejudice and Discrimination |The
Diplomat <https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail20.com/t/i-l-mkliykd-jlydhjdidi-q/>
Before the mobile internet age reached Asia, it was difficult for members of LGBTQ+ communities to even
know about each others' existence. It's easy to forget the distance between Lahore, Pakistan and Amritsar,
India is just over 50 kilometres, and apps like Tinder have allowed people in sexual minority groups to feel
"normal" by communicating with others like them across the border. Via geo-based apps, LGBTQ+ people
in South Asia are discovering new meanings of their queerness beyond being defined by sexual
gratification, which is helping them understand that their societies enforce heteronormativity under the
dubious guise of "morality".

Looking for a new podcast that goes beyond Western ideals of health, wealth, and happiness? New Naratif
empowers Southeast Asians by giving them the information and tools to be ful y engaged and participatory
citizens. Its weekly podcast series delves into issues specific to young people and activism, including topics
such as civil disobedience in Myanmar (and what those listening can do to help), censorship of the arts in
Singapore, and Muslim women's lack of representation in front-facing public sector roles. Around an hour
each, these podcasts are well-worth your weekly line-up.

Kia ora,
Many of us have travel on our minds as the Kiwi temperatures dip and we look at a second winter at home
with closed borders (save, of course, for the lifeline that is the Trans-Tasman bubble). It's stil so hard to
know when New Zealanders will be given the chance to travel further afield, but when we do, the self-drive
tour is likely to be a popular option. The idea has taken off during the pandemic and this week, we see how
its playing out in South East Asia. Check out our top story for more.
Mass vaccinations are still yet to rol out in New Zealand (to date just 7.5 percent of our population is
vaccinated) and for countries like us in similar situations, many people are getting fed up of waiting.
"Vaccine tourism", as it's now known, is On the radar this week, as we see people leave their own
countries specifically to get a jab somewhere it is more accessible.
As some nations struggle to best deal with the Chinese Communist Party's aggressive diplomacy NZ's
foreign minister has said we should prepare for a "storm", see Portia Mao's update in our features and the
original Guardian coverage in Perspectives this week. Meanwhile expats in Taiwan have emerged as the
happiest in the world when it comes to their working lives. New Zealand ranks wel too, but we are let down
by - you guessed it - our skyrocketing living costs.

The relationship between China and New Zealand has always been important to the New Zealand Chinese
community. That's not only because many local Chinese businessmen are involved in China-related
business, but also because harmonious relations rather than tensions between the two countries mean a
safe and friendly environment for Chinese New Zealanders. How will Kiwi businesses fare in the event of a
diplomatic crisis with China, akin to that which Australia continues to experience? Portia Mao gives her
thoughts.

Contestants vying for the title of Miss Universe 2021 used the platform to protest against hate crimes and
coups. In the ‘national costume’ portion of the pageant, Miss Singapore, Uruguay and Myanmar used their
costumes to send messages about Asian hate, the LGBTQ+ community, and the coup in Myanmar. Thuzar
Wint Lwin, Miss Myanmar, wore a traditional costume worn by Chin women at ceremonies and unrolled a
scroll that read “Pray for Myanmar”. In a video recorded for the pageant, Lwin said: “Our people are dying
and being shot by military every day ... I would like to urge everyone to speak about Myanmar.”

In a survey of global expats, Taiwan has been reported as the happiest place for work, quality of life, career
prospects, and ease of settling in. Accordingly, 75 per cent of expats living in Taiwan are happy with their
job and 74 per cent with their overall work-life balance. What's more, 62 per cent said making friends in
Taiwan is easy. How does that compare to New Zealand? We also made the list at number six: 78 per cent
of foreign workers in New Zealand are happy with their job and 83 per cent with work-life balance. Why
didn't we rank higher? Cost of living in New Zealand was a key gripe for expats, as only 29 per cent were
happy with the costs of living here.

Nepal crisis: Kiwi mountaineer calls on NZ for Covid aid | NZ Herald

The first woman to climb Mount Everest without oxygen Lydia Bradey is petitioning the New Zealand
Government to help Nepal contain a surge in coronavirus infections. The Kiwi mountaineer wrote to
Minister of Foreign Affairs Nanaia Mahuta last week, calling on New Zealand to offer Nepal the same
assistance extended to India, as the mountainous nation was just as badly affected as India in terms of the
number of infections per capita. "Nepal needs help," Bradey wrote in her email to the foreign minister, "It is
a much poorer and less organised country than India and has a markedly less developed health and
medical system, with no governmental aid for the poor."

‘A matter of time’: New Zealand’s foreign minister warns China ‘storm’ could be coming | The Guardian

In an interview with The Guardian, Nanaia Mahuta says Kiwi exporters must diversify to protect themselves
from a potential cooling of ties with Beijing. New Zealand could find itself at the heart of a “storm” of anger
from China, Mahuta has warned, saying exporters needed to diversify to ensure they could survive
deteriorating relations with Beijing.“We cannot ignore, obviously, what’s happening in Australia with their
relationship with China... it may only be a matter of time before the storm gets closer to us,” she told the
newspaper. Beijing has reponded, saying, New Zealand should "rise above distractions"
<https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail19.com/t/i-l-muruhjy-jlydhjdidi-m/> and work together with
China.

On the radar - Vaccine tourism

Travelling to another country simply to get vaccinated is trending: Here's what you need to know
Earlier in May, a busload of over-50s New Zealanders was turned away from a Covid-19 vaccination centre
<https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail19.com/t/i-l-muruhjy-jlydhjdidi-c/> in Northland. The region
is offering all people in this age-group vaccinations (contrary to the rest of the nation’s rol out) but only to
those who live in Northland. Anyone else trying to jump the queue is wasting their time – including
Australians visiting <https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail19.com/t/i-l-muruhjy-jlydhjdidi-q/> inside
the travel bubble (an issue the Ministry of Health is “unfazed” about
<https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail19.com/t/i-l-muruhjy-jlydhjdidi-a/> ).
This is our first local occurrence of what is being known as “vaccine tourism”. It’s a concept taking off
overseas, including in Asia, whereby residents of a country who are frustrated with their homeland’s slow
3
rol out of inoculations travel elsewhere they are more accessible. In fact, the tiny microstate the Republic of
San Marino (in Europe) is luring British travellers with cut-price Sputnik vaccines
<https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail19.com/t/i-l-muruhjy-jlydhjdidi-f/> .
Thais are becoming particularly keen vaccine tourists
<https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail19.com/t/i-l-muruhjy-jlydhjdidi-z/> , as those who don’t want
to wait for their government any longer are choosing to go to the United States. Starting from about
US$2,300 per person, an advertised packaged tour includes a 10-day journey where customers not only
get to travel around Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas but also receive the Johnson & Johnson
single-dose Covid-19 vaccine. To date, the US has vaccinated 47 per cent of its population, and
regulations vary state-by-state as to who is eligible
<https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail19.com/t/i-l-muruhjy-jlydhjdidi-v/> . Los Angeles County wil
vaccinate anyone (without ID) regardless of residence.
States like New York are welcoming vaccine tourists to use up their vaccine oversupply, as New York
Mayor Bill de Blasio said <https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail19.com/t/i-l-muruhjy-jlydhjdidi-e/>
on 6 May. "Come here, it’s safe, it’s a great place to be and we’re going to take care of you.” Only one
option also exists for Americans living in Asia: the US territory of Guam (in Micronesia) is offering
vaccinations to American expats in Japan <https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail19.com/t/i-l-
muruhjy-jlydhjdidi-s/> and other Asian countries with slow rollouts.
The Maldives, in the Indian Ocean, is launching a campaign similar to Bill de Blasio’s offer. Once the island
nation has vaccinated al residents it will start rolling out its "3V" tourism programme
<https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail19.com/t/i-l-muruhjy-jlydhjdidi-g/> with the tagline, "visit,
vaccinate and vacation."
In West Asia, people have been travel ing to the United Arab Emirates
<https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail19.com/t/i-l-muruhjy-jlydhjdidi-w/> in hopes of a jab, and
there has been a concentration of tourists from the East. As you can see, with destinations like uber-
expensive UAE and the Maldives, vaccine tourism is something reserved only for the rich. While we're over
that side of the continent, Pakistan, moreover, was one of the first countries to offer user-pays Covid
vaccines at privatised healthcare facilities, allowing the wealthier to go to hotel-like clinics for their jab for a
fee.
This is certainly an issue to keep on your radar for the rest of 2021 and beyond.

English as a medium of instruction is increasingly popular with parents looking to prepare their kids for an

people solely learning via English-language instruction at these pricey schools (tuition is around 250,000
yuan, or NZD $54,000, a year). What are their parents actually paying for, and wil students legitimately

Good morning, early birds.
The Chinese government has announced it plans to impose new security laws in Hong Kong, and, in a
separate story, has begun warning state-owned utilities against purchasing Australian thermal coal.
It's the news you need to know.

CHINA PLANS TO BYPASS HONG KONG GOVERNMENT
Following a year of protests in Hong Kong, the Chinese government wil today table a resolution enabling
its top legislative body, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, to pass national
security legislation targeting the city-state.
While the exact details are yet to be published, Hong Kong paper the South China Morning Post

Trump has denounced the news, while social media posts are already emerging across Hong Kong urging
another round of mass protests.

three exceptions, been free of community transmissions since April 19. Watch that space, post-mass
protests.

Lives are being destroyed, and the Premier’s conducting some social experiment here. They could
make a call today that the borders could reopen in July, and you would have those tourism operators at
least with some light at the end of the tunnel.

Ross Stitt
“Interestingly, the dramatic rise in Morrison’s popularity has not been matched by support for the Coalition.
The latest Newspoll has it ahead of Labor by just 51 to 49 on a two-party-preferred basis. That’s a relatively
minor change from the pre-pandemic position in January when Labor was ahead by 51 to 49.
“Compare this with the position across the Tasman where the pol numbers for New Zealand’s Prime
Minister Jacinda Ardern and her Labour Party have both jumped.”

Sydney Morning Herald): “What exactly do we think of expert advice? It seems an opportune moment to
ask because we’re at a point in our COVID-19 experience where it feels as though lots more is up for

Commonwealth pressure Western Australia, South Australia and especially Queensland to open their
borders.”

Daniel Andrews, in my view, is behaving foolishly, incompetently and in effective, if not intentional, betrayal
of Australia’s national interests in his embrace of Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative, and in his government’s
bad-mouthing of his own country in relation to the series of disputes between Beijing and Canberra.”

the press gallery, urged on by China hawks in Canberra’s military-industrial circles. The latter notably
include Peter Jennings, director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, financed by the defence
department, military suppliers including Lockheed Martin, BAE, Northrop Grumman, Thales and Raytheon,
and the governments of Japan and Taiwan.”

Elimination strategy optimal pandemic response – new research
A goal of eliminating community transmission of the pandemic virus causing COVID-19 is achievable and
sustainable as a response strategy for COVID-19 and other emerging pandemic diseases, new research
suggests.
An analysis published today in the high impact British Medical Journal (BMJ) by University of Otago,
Wel ington, Professors of Public Health, Michael Baker and Nick Wilson, together with Professor Tony
Blakely, at the University of Melbourne, shows the goal of eliminating COVID-19 using an elimination
strategy can be successful.
They are now calling on the World Health Organization to provide more support for countries pursuing
elimination as a response to the pandemic, including improved ways of reporting data from countries using
this approach.
1
Professor Baker explains the goal of elimination is a major departure from pandemic influenza mitigation.
The typical approach of high-income nations such as those in North America and Europe has been a
control ed transmission strategy using mitigation or suppression.
“Elimination may now provide the preferred approach to managing emerging pandemics, which is a major
revolution in thinking in this area,” Professor Baker explains.
“Experience indicates that elimination of COVID-19 has been successful in several jurisdictions, albeit with
occasional outbreaks from border control failures that need to be managed rapidly and effectively,” he
says.
“Obvious benefits of rapid elimination are greatly reduced case numbers, a lower risk of health sector
overload and fewer overall deaths from COVID-19. There is also an opportunity to avoid serious health
inequities, such as the catastrophic effect of previous pandemics on Māori.
Professor Baker says the main reason for writing this paper was to summarise what has been learned in
New Zealand and Australia with COVID-19 elimination and to share these lessons with countries struggling
with the pandemic.
“Over the course of this year, we have been in regular contact with overseas col eagues, particularly in the
UK, who are advocating for their governments to take an elimination or ‘zero covid’ approach. The
emergence of an apparently more infectious virus variant is just another reason to eliminate this infection.”
Conditions favouring successful elimination include informed input from scientists, political commitment,
sufficient public health infrastructure, public engagement and trust, and a safety net to support vulnerable
populations.
Professor Wilson says one of the perceived barriers to applying a vigorous response, such as elimination,
to the COVID-19 pandemic, is the belief that this might sacrifice the economy and ultimately result in more
hardship and negative health effects.
“Our preliminary analysis suggests that the opposite is true. Countries fol owing an elimination strategy –
notably China, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand – have suffered less economical y than countries with
suppression goals. Our analysis was based on gross domestic product (GDP) projections for al of 2020
from the International Monetary Fund.”
International tourism, for example, is substantial y reduced, regardless of individual countries having border
control restrictions, Professor Wilson says.
“Iceland reopened to tourism, but the demand remained low, imported cases of COVID-19 increased and
the net effect was a larger decline in GDP than was seen in New Zealand.”
2
The introduction of effective COVID-19 vaccines is also likely to further facilitate elimination, the
researchers say.

EMBARGOED PR AND SPEECH: Robertson - Government remains focused on
building back better

BNZ BPS Speech.pdf
Hon Grant Robertson
Minister of Finance
9 February 2021 8AM EMBARGO
MEDIA STATEMENT
Government remains focused on building back better
Budget 2021 will sharpen the focus on supporting the New Zealand economic recovery as the Government
continues to keep New Zealanders safe from COVID-19.
Speaking at a BNZ Breakfast event in Wel ington this morning Grant Robertson released the 2021 Budget
Policy Statement saying the May Budget provides a chance to take stock of how New Zealand and New
Zealanders have come through COVID-19.
“The recovery is the result of the hard work and sacrifice that New Zealanders collectively put in across
2020. We now have an opportunity, through our better than expected recovery and fiscal position, to
address some of our long-standing challenges,” Grant Robertson said.
“At Budget 2021 I will continue my focus on making sure spending is targeted at the areas and people that
need it the most. We will manage the books careful y including ensuring we are getting value for money in
all areas of Government spending and reprioritising spending where appropriate,” Grant Robertson said.
“We will also continue the balanced approach to invest in strong public services and addressing issues like
housing, while keeping a lid on debt.
1
“New numbers released today using Treasury’s Fiscal Strategy model show that our better than expected
recovery means net debt is now forecast to reduce to 36.5% of GDP by 2034/35. While these are only
projections they show the progress that we are making.
“New Zealanders trusted us to keep them safe last year, and we will continue to make the tough decisions
required to do that, while also keeping the economy moving in the right direction,” Grant Robertson said.
The Budget al owances for 2021 are unchanged from those announced in December, though they are
subject to change depending on economic conditions.
Budget 2021 will focus on the Government’s overarching objectives for this Parliamentary term which are:
continuing to keep New Zealand safe from COVID-19, accelerating the recovery and rebuild and
addressing key issues like climate change, housing affordability and child poverty.
Specific Budget 2021 investments wil fal under four high-level priorities: continuing the COVID-19
response, delivering priority and time-sensitive manifesto commitments, supporting core public services
through managing critical cost pressures and continuing to deliver on existing investments.
These are underpinned by the Wel being Objectives, which are now a requirement under changes made to
the Public Finance Act. These objectives continue the evidence based focus started in the Wel being
Budget. The 2021 Wellbeing Objectives are:
* Just Transition to a Low Carbon Economy
* Future of Work: Lifting Productivity and Innovation
* Lifting Maori and Pacific Incomes and Opportunities
* Reducing Child Poverty and Improving Child Wel being
* Improved Mental and Physical Health Outcomes

Embargoed: Backing tourism to succeed in a Covid world
<http://www.act.org.nz/?e=572147485d759dce3e1c12a2838f63a9&utm_source=actnz&utm_medium=emai
l&utm_campaign=tourism_policy&n=1>
Embargoed until 7pm
“ACT has a plan to lift the restrictions holding back the tourism sector and give operators the tax relief they
need after being hammered by Covid,” says ACT Leader David Seymour.
“I’ve travelled from Northland to Southland talking to tourism operators on ACT’s ‘Change Your Future Bus
Tour.’ I’ve heard first-hand the struggles the sector is facing.
“The Government’s approach has been to pick winners with its Strategic Tourism Assets Protection
Programme. While recipients are no doubt grateful for the money received, the effect of it is minor and
seemingly concentrated on wel recognised operators, simply so politicians can have their photos taken as
they hand over a cheque.
“We can’t fix the tourism industry by picking winners. We need a consistent approach to support the entire
industry.
“What the tourism industry needs is tourists, and certainty of getting them. The best thing the Government
can do for the industry is to set clear rules of the game so that New Zealand can safely reconnect with the
rest of the world.
“We should start by asking what can be done rather than imposing blanket restrictions on people entering
the country. ACT’s approach reflects a change of attitude. We should allow practices that are safe and
allow businesses to demonstrate that they can be safe, rather than imposing a Government monopoly.
“There are opportunities for high value tourism operators to bring in and isolate tourists for the required
quarantine period before al owing them to travel more widely. There are many around today’s chaotic world
who would take advantage of these opportunities if the Government was wil ing to work with operators to
allow them to.
“Our polices around border management and tax relief wil allow the tourism industry to get back on its feet.
We need to think outside the box and ACT has the plan so we can do this sensibly and safely.”
ACT would:
Ensure Safe and Secure Borders
*
Introduce a single multi-disciplinary, public and private sector Epidemic Response Unit, modelled
on Taiwan’s Central Epidemic Command Centre.
*
Government as a referee, not a player in the game, setting standards and enforcing them but
allowing the private sector to meet them. We should use the private sector to supplement the MIQ system
like we do with health care – you should be able to ‘go private’ for your isolation period.
*
Al ow high-value foreign tourists through this system.
*
Essential staff can pay extra for hotel rooms with home-office setups so they can work through their
two-week period.
*
Managing the dangers of Covid with a risk weighted approach. We should treat tourists from
countries without Covid and with high quality public health systems (e.g. Taiwan) differently from how we
1
treat those from Covid-ridden countries or those with poor public health. For instance, there might be
shorter quarantine times for better tested and lower risk tourists.
Lift Restrictions Holding Tourism Back
*
The Department of Conservation (DOC) needs a mandate to encourage private sector tourism on
the conversation estate, not restrict it. Leases could fund conservation projects, for example, but presently
we are not getting ful value out of the DOC estate and DOC is not getting ful value out of tourism.
*
Tourism needs a flexible labour market, but the current Government’s Employment laws will make it
harder for the industry to employ people. ACT would have a three-year moratorium on increasing the
minimum wage and bring back 90-day trials for al businesses.
Tax Cuts to Boost the Tourism Sector
*
ACT would cut GST from 15 percent to 10 percent for 12 months. The GST cut will boost domestic
spending and make New Zealand an even more attractive holiday destination for Australians when the
border opens.
*
ACT would abolish the $35 International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy, and return the
proceeds to tourism business, on the basis of their GST receipts in 2019.
*
ACT would ban councils from using the rating system to impose a Hotel Bed Tax. This provision
has been unfairly and destructively imposed on the sector in the case of Auckland. It is a narrow tax
imposed on tourism that amounts to a revenue grab by councils, that stil hangs over other regions.

Koi Tu post-pandemic direction 16 Nov.pdf
Please note: Embargoed until 2am Monday 16 November 2020 (NZ Time) Attached:
The Future is Now: Exploring the post-pandemic direction for Aotearoa NZ, a new report produced
by Koi Tū: The Centre for Informed Futures.
Sir Peter Gluckman is available for interview.
MEDIA RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL 2AM MONDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2020 (NZ Time)
Exploring NZ's post-pandemic future
New Zealand needs to have tough conversations about how we can make collective decisions to
improve the long-term prospects of all New Zealanders, says a new think-tank report.
The Future is Now: Exploring the post-pandemic direction for Aotearoa New Zealand was launched today by Koi
Tū: The Centre for Informed Futures at the University of Auckland.
(Ed note: Monday 16 November).
Written by Koi Tū director Sir Peter Gluckman and Koi Tū deputy director Anne Bardsley, with input from
business, academic and government representatives, the wide-ranging report covers topics ranging from
constitutional and public sector reform to demographic policy, sustainability issues and the future of education.
It says we need “a reset with a sense of purpose” that looks ahead a decade to 2030, the target year for the
Sustainable Development Agenda, and two decades ahead to consider the bicentenary of the Treaty of Waitangi
in 2040.
Sir Peter, the former Chief Science Advisor to the Prime Minister and president-elect of the International Science
Council, says we have an opportunity to consider our place in the world, how we operate as a country and
cooperate a society.
“Covid-19 has brought an appreciation of things we have long taken for granted and jolted our consciousness
around what we need and want as a country. The world has recently taken notice of this small southern nation,
but can we live up to our current glowing external reputation over the long term? Can we be an example society
committed to environmentalism, social justice and fairness, but also committed to individual freedoms and a
market economy?” he says.
The report builds on the
Future is Now discussion paper series produced by Koi Tū that reflected on New
Zealand’s geostrategic positioning in a post-COVID world, and on domestic issues of social cohesion, mental
health, the environment, growing a knowledge economy, and the primary production and food sectors.
The series proposition was that no matter how well we initially coped with the pandemic hitting our shores, its
impacts on society were likely to be so wide-ranging and profound as to trigger a ‘reset’ – necessitating careful
consideration of our national aspirations and direction as we look beyond the current crisis into our medium- and
long-term future.
Co-author Dr Bardsley says New Zealand tends not to think about 2030 as the goal year for the Sustainable
Development Agenda.
1
“There are groups and organisations taking action, but they are not really working collectively, and so their
impact is not as great as it could be. Our recent election outcome would suggest that many New Zealanders are
ready for conversations about where we want to be 10-20 years from now.”
Dr Bardsley says these conversations need to happen in new and more inclusive ways. Around the world there
are many experiments in participatory and deliberative democracy, and Koi Tū is striving to learn from these to
develop a bespoke model of deliberation in the New Zealand context.
“We need to find new ways to deliberate on the complex issues, incorporating different values and exploring
trade-offs. We have a chance to start more inclusive discussions about how our bicultural and multi-ethnic
society should evolve, and how we want to govern ourselves.”
Koi Tū Chair Bridget Coates says the report is critically important and was intended as a national conversation
starter.
“It lays out many chal enges we face yet we – as a country – have tended to leave in the too-hard basket
including constitutional, social, environmental and economic issues.”
The paper had input from industry, academic and government representatives including John Allen, Bridget
Coates, Rob Fyfe, Andrew Grant, Arthur Grimes, Stephen Goldson, Hermann Hauser, Rangimarie Hunia, Sir
Christopher Mace, Tracey McIntosh, Richie Poulton, Hema Sridhar, Paul Spoonley and Evan Williams.

WASHINGTON:
Vaccine hesitancy amongst Republican men
Men who identify as Republican voters could be the demographic with the highest levels of coronavirus
vaccine hesitancy in the US. According to a recent poll, almost 50% of them said they wouldn't be getting a
jab. Some say the vaccines have been developed too fast and are "experimental", despite the rigorous
approval process of the Food & Drug Administration. Others object on ideological grounds, accusing the
government of interfering in their lives. While former President Donald Trump has urged his followers to get
vaccinated, pollsters say. Democrats are more likely to be concerned about the pandemic and therefore
more likely to get a vaccine.
The shadow pandemic - the impact on children's mental health
Though children are not likely to get seriously il with Covid, they are still victims of the virus. Since the
pandemic began, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the proportion of
pediatric emergency room visits for mental health have increased sharply. From April to October 2020,
these visits increased 31% for children between ages 12 to 17 and 24% for those ages 5 to 11 compared
to the same period in 2019. Aside from isolation and school closures - grief over lost relatives and anxiety
over parental job losses have added to the mental health burden for children. Babies are missing out on
3
vital early socialisation; disabled kids are unable to access the specialist education they rely on and
children who are being abused in the home are cut off and have no escape from their abuser. Some
school systems have started to employ therapists on campus and train teachers to deal with grief and
trauma.
Reimagining education in post-pandemic America
The coronavirus pandemic has upended the US education systems across the world. Basic ideas about
instruction, technology and human connection have been put to the test. Many students have suffered
learning loss but some education experts believe a better system can emerge from the disruption.
American students are likely to have suffered on average up to nine months of learning loss in maths by
the end of the academic year because of disruptions. Students of color could be as many as 12 months
behind, according to a report released by McKinsey & Company. The report looked across eight countries
to rate the effectiveness of remote learning and the degree of loss varied significantly among countries. In
the US there’s a big push for these students to catch up. Biden’s American Rescue Plan includes almost
$123 billion for public K-12 schools, and districts are required to spend at least 20 percent of their funding
on evidence-based interventions to address learning loss. But not al schools are ready to give up screens.
A study by the Rand Corp., found about 2 in 10 school systems were adopting virtual schools, or planning
or considering the idea.
DC chefs get cooking to fight rise of anti-Asian American hate crimes
Chef Kevin Thein says he can no longer ignore the wave of recent anti-Asian American incidents and
attacks across the US. The DC-based award-winning chef decided to enlist the help of other restaurateurs
to produce a weekly take-out project that would see profits go to the group ‘Stop Asian American and
Pacific Islander Hate’. So far 45 chefs in the area have signed up to the weekly effort which is set to launch
later this month.
NEW YORK:
NYC hate crime
Rallies have been held in New York to protest against the rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans.
There were 28 suspected anti-Asian hate crimes in the city in 2020, up from just 3 the year before. And so
far there have been 10 recorded by the NYPD in 2021. Police have stepped up their presence in areas of
the city with large Asian communities. Community groups have also formed their own patrols to keep their
neighborhoods safe, like Chinatown Block Watch. The recent violence has been condemned by politicians
and celebrities as well as city institutions like the Museum of Chinese in America, which has charted the
history of violence against Asian Americans. The non-profit organisation Hate Is A Virus has also been

Pandemic poverty increases in Asian American communities
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated poverty in low income Asian American communities The
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development says the negative impact on immigrants’ labour
market outcomes is increased stil further by the fact that they are strongly overrepresented in those
sectors most affected by the pandemic to date. They include restaurants, salons and small factories. In
New York City, unemployment among Asians soared to 25 percent last year — the largest increase among
all racial groups, according to an Asian American federation AAF report published last fal . And contrary to
4
the common misperception of Asian American wealth and success, poverty among Asian Americans in the
U.S. is high. In New York City, for instance, 1 in 4 Asians live in poverty and half have limited English,
according to the nonprofit Asian American Federation.
SAN FRANCISCO:
ANTI-ASIAN RACISM ISN’T NEW
Violence against Asians in the US has been on the rise and in the headlines recently. But it's not new.
People of Asian descent have always faced racism - and violence - in the US. From Chinese-Americans
being driven out of towns in the West Coast in the late 19th century to Japanese internment camps during
the second World War, Asians have long been targeted. We visit the Chinese historical society in San
Francisco to learn more about this history, and speak to Asian-Americans about history repeating itself,
and what can be done.
UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME IN OAKLAND
The city of Oakland has just launched a program to give hundreds of low income black and indigenous
people $500 a month, - with no strings attached - for the next 18 months. Oakland becomes the latest city
in the US - and one of the biggest - to experiment with the idea of a Universal Basic Income as a way to
address systemic poverty. Proponents say it has the potential to dramatical y improve one of America's
intractable problems. But critics say it can never work on a larger scale. Package looks at Oakland's efforts
as well as the movement nationally to institute similar projects.
CALIFORNIA TOURISM
San Francisco, normal y a tourist mecca for visitors around the globe, has seen an $8 bil ion decline in
tourist spending in 2020 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, according to new figures from the city’s
tourism bureau. More than 65,000 jobs supported by tourism were lost during the pandemic, a drop of
75.8% in one year for the city’s biggest industry. The situation is similar across California. As the state
continues its reopening - Disneyland is set to open on April 30 - package looks at how the state of tourism
and when it's expected to recover.
EUROPE:
LONDON:
LONDON’S WEST END
Since March last year, the answer to the question ‘do you hear the people sing?’ -- posed in the popular
musical Les Miserables -- has been a dampened ‘no’. COVID-19 has meant that London’s famous theatre
district, normal y playing host to sold out performances of Hamilton, Mamma Mia and Lion King, has been
practical y silent. Finally, though, there’s hope that the show will go on. Under the government’s roadmap
out of lockdown, theatres could be open as early as mid-May, meaning even large scale productions are
now preparing to safely get up and running again just in a matter of weeks. But the UK’s Prime Minister
Boris Johnson stresses that lifting the curtain in the West End comes with some conditions, including social
distancing, limited audience numbers, and even possible coronavirus tests or vaccine passports. How wil
cast and crew adapt to post-pandemic playhouses, and will theatres survive without ful capacity?
5
VACCINE PASSPORTS
Vaccine passports could be vital in saving the British summer. But one former government minister
believes they could be “discriminatory” against any members of ethnic communities more reluctant to take
the vaccine. David Davis believes younger people were less likely to have the jab too, as wel as “some
people have ethical or religious objections.” Domestic ‘Covid certificates,’ which are currently being
considered by the government to help reopen parts of the economy shuttered by the pandemic, would be
also a “massive intrusion” on ordinary life, argues the Brexit Secretary. As an inquiry is carried out in the
subject, we find out whether there’s public appetite for this novel documentation. Wil it liberate or confine
the British people?
PARIS:
THE OLDEST COVERED MARKET IN PARIS
Age is just a number. As proof, the Marche des Enfants Rouges in Paris celebrated its 405th birthday this
year - to compare, the Eiffel Tower was completed "only" 131 years ago. Created in 1615, the Marche des
Enfants Rouges is the oldest covered market in Paris, France. A cosmopolitan vil age of 2000 sq meters
where people can buy fruits, meat, couscous and vintage pictures. A market that lived through the French
Revolution, two World Wars, Cholera, Spanish flu and now Covid-19. Hidden behind two discret entrances,
this market full of History is still going strong. Some tried to take it down 25 years ago but Le Marche des
Enfants Rouges seems to be indestructible.
FROM DJ TO COVID EXTERMINATOR
Before the pandemic, these three friends were in the entertainment industry. During the first lockdown of
March 2020, it became evident to them that gigs in clubs wouldn’t come back any time soon. While France
is going through a partial third lockdown, they are opening their new company, Via Sanae. Their mission:
getting rid of the COVID-19 - at least on surfaces. Their sprayer mixed with a disinfectant made in a
laboratory in Brittany, kills the virus in 60 seconds.
MOSCOW:
HOME STRAIGHT
Russian athletes are under starter's orders after the Russian Athletics Federation's reinstatement plan was
given the nod by the World Athletics Council. The plan should achieve “deep-rooted change” in Russian
Athletics culture after a doping scandal saw athletes banned from global competition. We look at the
detailed plan to get Russian athletes back on the track and talk to the people making it happen.
VACCINE SKEPTICISM
After months of skepticism, the world is starting to warm to Russia's Sputnik V. More than 50 countries
have approved the jab for use, but in Russia itself, uptake is painfully slow. At least 2.4% of the country has
6
received a ful course of the vaccine, but the rate of growth is slowing. Polls suggest that the population is
less willing to get vaccinated than they were several months ago. A disjointed public health campaign has
left many Russians unconvinced by Sputnik V, and even President Vladimir Putin has yet to be inoculated.
Although COVID-19 cases are slowly fal ing in Russia, experts say the lack of vaccine confidence leaves it
vulnerable to a new surge.
PREVENTING THE NEXT PANDEMIC
Russia's health watchdog has warned of a high risk of human-to-human transmission of the H5N8 avian flu
mutation. Transmission from animal-to-human was identified in southern Russia last month for the first
time. Scientists are learning lessons from COVID-19 and are rapidly working to develop testing systems
and a vaccine to prevent or contain what could become the next pandemic. But animal rights groups say
the way poultry is mass-farmed in Russia increases the risk of animal-transmitted illness.
AFRICA:
KAMPALA:
Impact of COVID-19 on Children with Hearing Impairment
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a big challenge to people with hearing impairment. In Uganda when
schools closed in March 2020, the government started radio and TV classes but children with hearing
impairments did not benefit. The program lacked sign language interpreters and neither did the government
provide home-learning literature for them. After one year out of school, restrictions have now been eased
but measures like mask-wearing and social distancing stil impedes their learning. The children are not able
to pick up mouth movements because of the face-covers, to be able to comprehend better. Such children
learn better with very close interactions with their teachers, but because of social distancing rules, this is
now difficult for them. Teachers say catching up just weeks to their final exams has been a challenge.
According to the Ministry of Education, children with hearing impairments represent 27% of the total
enrollment in Uganda.
ICT Engineer Volunteers to offer Free COVID19 Tests
Compelled to make a difference during the Covid-19 pandemic, Ssemu Nsibirwa disinfected Entebbe
Regional Referral Hospital and police stations in central Uganda at the height of the covid-19 pandemic. He
did this for weeks at his own cost. Ssemu has now changed his approach to help his community test for
COVID-19. He has got training, and approval from health authorities to carry-out rapid tests. Loaded with
testing kits in his small car, Ssemu stations at markets, shopping mal s and major public areas calling on
people to test for Covid-19. Al this, free of charge. Previously, testing in Uganda cost $65. It has since
reduced to $50. He says this will help people in his community know their status. His duties are enhancing
the efforts to prevent the spread of coronavirus Disease COVID-19. Currently Uganda has over 40,600
reported covid-19 cases and 334 deaths.
Uganda HIV goat milk treatment
7
Scientists in Uganda say they will start making HIV/Aids treatment tablets from goat milk. According to the
National Animal Genetic Resources Centre milk for making the tablets wil be obtained from a special
breed of dairy goats called the Toggenburg, which originate from Switzerland. The Toggenburg dairy goat
breed has been found to withstand conditions in Uganda. A study by a Turkey’s scientists Nazli Turkmen,
which was published in a scientific journal Science Direct in 2017, shows that goat milk has high amounts
of important substances called conjugated linoleic acids, which cause immune stimulation, growth
promotion, and disease prevention.
Uganda solar-powered Ipads for the poor
Uganda intends to distribute 1,500 solar-powered iPads with the Internet to poor households to facilitate
access to information and home-schooling. Minister Nabakooba cited Butaleja, Amudat and Buvuma as
some of the districts where the pilot programme wil be done to help poor families access the Internet. She
said the outcome of the project will inform the government on how to handle ICT matters in education
institutions.
Shoebil : The world’s Most Endangered Bird Species
Conservationists in Uganda are concerned about the reducing numbers of Shoebill birds in the wild.
Human activity is having a negative impact on the bird, with less than 200 shoebills now existing in the wild.
The local fishermen and the birds compete for food in this wetland. Bush burning also threatens the
multiplication of the birds. The female shoebil always lays two eggs but only one ever survives. Uganda
Wildlife Center has rescued some of the birds from the Wild and keeping them at the centre to avoid
extinction
Uganda Boosts Visitor Numbers After Pandemic with Tigers
Uganda is hoping to boost its tourism potential with a pair of tigers from South Africa. Uganda’s Tourism
industry is only beginning to pick up after the government eased lockdown restrictions. Tigers do not exist
in the wild in Africa, and not many people have had a chance to see them.
The Entebbe Zoo where the Tigers are being kept expects to increase visitor numbers with this new wildlife
attraction. This is the first time in 6 decades that Uganda’s only zoo has brought in the Tigers. They were
swapped with monkeys from a sister zoo in South Africa. Tigers are also an endangered species and there
is a need to conserve them, only around 3000 of them are left in the wild.
ABUJA:
Young Nigerian using art to help people recover from trauma of insurgency
There's a growing demand to provide mental health services for survivors of insurgency in Nigeria, many of
whom have witnessed extreme violence and have no way to process their anger and trauma. As a way of
helping, a young artist is helping many of these victims living at internally displaced persons camps,
especial y children to draw pictures of their stories, and express their anger or emotions through art. Over
30,000 people have died and more than 2 million displaced from a decade long war on insurgency which
still persists. The aim is to also prevent many of these displaced people from nursing revenge in future but
learn to appreciate life again and look forward to positively impacting their world. Support for victims in IDP
camps and conflict zones is already underfunded which adds to the frustration hence the need for
psychosocial and extracurricular activities to help the victims cope better with the odds.

JUBA:
PRESIDENT SALVA KIIR SAYS NO ELECTION IN 2022
President Salva Ki r says the implementation of the 2018 South Sudan's peace deal is too slow for an
election to be held in 2022.The agreement dictates that elections be held in 2022 but the five parties to the
peace deal have not yet agreed on the composition of the parliament and the National Assembly is yet to
be reconstituted. The agreement further provides for unification of the various armed forces who were once
fighting each other. The armies are supposed to be re-trained and redeployed. They have been unified, re-
trained but not yet redeployed. The electoral commission is not yet in place, the census is also not yet
conducted in the world's newest country to get the number of voters and redesign constituencies.
JUBA'S WATER DISTRIBUTOR USING BICYCLE
Residents of South Sudan’s capital Juba continue to face challenges in getting clean/safe water. Pipe
water covers only a small section of the city and now with relative peace returning to the country, the
population of Juba is once again growing, with some people returning from internally displaced persons
camps and others from refugee camps. Water is majorly distributed in Juba using tanks but some of the
tank drivers say they are overwhelmed by the demand. The tanks don’t reach parts of the city and some
residents now rely on untreated water, which experts say could cause serious health problems. The
longest river in the world, the Nile, passes through Juba but there isn’t any proper infrastructure to get the
water to the citizens.
ADDIS ABABA:
Ethiopia conflict in the North continues
The Ethiopia Human Rights Commission has released a report that blames Eritrean soldiers for killing over
100 people in Ethiopia's Northern region in November last year. This coincides with the Prime Minister Abiy
Ahmed admitting that indeed Eritrean soldiers have been involved in the Military operation that he launched
in the northern region in November last year . The operation, which was meant to bring the ruling party in
the region , the Tigray People's Liberation Front, to constitutional order, has now turned into a
humanitarian crisis.
UN WFP urgently needs money
The United Nations World Food Programme says it urgently needs US$170 million to meet critical food and
nutrition needs for people in Ethiopia's Northern region that have been affected by the ongoing conflict
there. This it says will cover assistance for the next 6 months.The fighting in Northern Ethiopia between the
government and the regional forces has sparked a humanitarian crisis and a protracted conflict. Thousands
of people continue to flee from the fighting and are sheltering in the capital of the region cal ed Mekel e.
UN launches hotline for gender based violence
The United Nations Population Fund is set to launch a National Hotline for Sexual and Gender-based
Violence in Ethiopia. The service will provide vital support, information and advice to survivors of sexual/
gender based violence through offering counselling and referrals to appropriate services which exist across
the country. The launch comes as Ethiopia is under scrutiny by international rights bodies for reports of
sexual/ gender based violence in its Northern region where a conflict has persisted since November last
year. Rape cases have been reportd and while the government admits them it has not offered any practical
remedies, it says it will conduct investogations to find perpetrators.

KINSHASA:
EBOLA PATIENTS DISCHARGED
Authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo have discharged the last two Ebola patients who were
receiving treatment at health centres in the east of the country. A young boy and a woman were al owed to
return home after they tested negative. They spent several weeks getting treatment at a health facility in
the eastern town of Butembo. Health officials attributed the recovery of the patients to the efficient system
they had put in place and the support of international health organisations. The government says if no new
Ebola case is recorded in the next 42 days, they wil declare the outbreak over. The outbreak was the 12th
to occur in the DRC since 1976. It affected 11 people and claimed 4 lives in the east of the country.
THE LOVE FOR MONKEY MEAT
Congolese health officials have warned the public against eating monkeys and bats because scientists
believe those animals are responsible for transmitting the Ebola virus. But the warning has largely gone
unheeded in the DRC capital Kinshasa and other parts of the country. Hundreds of Congolese citizens
consider Makaku (monkey) a huge delicacy that cannot just be abandoned because of a warning by health
officials. Large quantities of monkeys are brought by boats to the capital Kinshasa from forests in western
DRC daily. The trade is bustling in the city's markets.
KINSHASA POLLUTED RIVERS
A University Professor in the DRC has warned Congolese citizens of facing a serious risk of dying from air
deprivation because of toxic chemicals found in rivers and other water bodies. Professor Celine
Sikulisimwa says waste thrown in rivers produces methane and sulfuric acid which causes respiratory
diseases. Pollution in the DRC capital Kinshasa is a very big problem. Most of the rivers are clogged with
plastic waste dumped by residents. Efforts by the authorities to stop poor waste disposal haven't helped
much.
LATIN AMERICA:
CARACAS:
Works of Art of the Caracas Metro- Forgotten Victims of the Economic and Social Crisis
Three dozen massive sculptures and other works of public art on display at Caracas Metro stations are in
an advanced state of disrepair, filthy, and vandalized. In better times, the Metro had a cultural promotion
office and a budget assigned to maintain the works of art. Now, there are no funds al ocated to preserve
them; nor is there much evidence of any budget to maintain the station escalators, or the trains
themselves.

Senior business leaders cal for New Zealand to set a clear path out of COVID-19
2 March 2021
A group of senior chairs and directors of major NZX companies operating in the infrastructure, retail,
retirement living, commercial property, tourism, electricity, education and banking sectors have joined
together to call for more openness and clarity from the Government on its plan for getting New Zealand to
“COVID normal”.
The group includes Patrick Strange (Chair of Chorus NZ and Auckland Airport), Prue Flacks (Chair of
Mercury Energy), Joan Withers (Chair of The Warehouse Group), Rob Campbell (Chair of SkyCity,
Tourism Holdings, Summerset and Chancellor of Auckland University of Technology) and Scott St John
(Chancellor of the University of Auckland and Chair of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare).
Patrick Strange said the events of the past few weeks have shown the COVID-19 virus is now firmly part of
how we live and work both here in New Zealand and globally.
“While widespread vaccination wil mean the pandemic phase wil pass, the virus will continue to be a risk
that threatens poor health outcomes and overwhelming the health system.
“As a group we share the strong desire of the New Zealand business community to support the country’s
response to COVID-19 in any way we can.”
Commenting on the last year of managing COVID-19, Joan Withers said “our organisations - and many
others - have spent the past 12 months working hard to protect the wel being of our workforces, our
customers, and the wider community from the very real risks of this virus. While big businesses have the
capacity to deal with the uncertainty and change, smal er businesses that we work with don’t have the
same resilience. We are ready and wil ing to play our part in ensuring New Zealand’s long-term success in
managing COVID-19 and building the resilience in New Zealand necessary to cope with potential future
pandemics. We have all discussed this widely with other chairs and col eagues and believe there is
widespread support across New Zealand for our approach.”
Prue Flacks said that “major New Zealand businesses would welcome the opportunity to assist the
Government in its longer-term planning by providing input and expertise into its strategy for virus
1
management. We’ve seen the open and transparent approach taken by Australia on its vaccine rol -out
plan, the launch last week by the United Kingdom government of a clear plan to manage a path out of its
current lockdown[1] and the ongoing success in Taiwan of avoiding lockdowns through using technology to
manage home isolation. It wil be beneficial for all New Zealand if the Ministry of Health and other agencies
take an open and transparent approach to the development of a path towards sustainable virus
management.”
Specifically, the group are asking for:
*
The status of New Zealand’s near to long-term COVID-19 strategy to be made available beyond
government circles. In particular, the group would welcome a clear explanation of the key metrics,
thresholds and milestones officials are tracking to judge the ongoing performance against this strategy over
time.
*
The detail of New Zealand’s contracted access to vaccines, including the timing and size of each
tranche of vaccines through to the ongoing vaccine purchase programme, similar to government responses
overseas, and the principles which will drive the roll-out.
*
The publication of New Zealand’s testing capacity and strategy, including any plans for enhanced
community, workplace and surge testing options, the inclusion of additional testing technology such as
saliva PCR tests and any other changes to the testing regime as recommended by the Roche Simpson
report.
*
An understanding of any future plans for a more automated approach to tracking and tracing, health
passports and other technology to manage future community outbreaks and manage the vaccine rol out.
*
The status of the government’s plan to develop the ‘world’s smartest border’[2] to enable New
Zealand business to reconnect with critical overseas customers, international students to return and to
allow friends and family to reconnect in Australia and the Pacific Islands through safe travel zones.
“Across the business and community sector we have seen first-hand the financial impact of this virus on
people’s lives. While as a country we have avoided the devastating health consequences seen overseas,
we do need to equip ourselves for a future in which we are continuing to manage COVID-19 long-term,”
said Rob Campbell.
“We are positive about what has been achieved to date. We are al keen and committed to bringing our
col ective expertise to assist the Government in working for the longer-term benefit of al New Zealanders
and look forward to the government’s response.”

New Zealand needs to do better at building world-class firms
The New Zealand Productivity Commission today released the final report of its frontier firms inquiry
<https://www.productivity.govt.nz/inquiries/frontier-firms/> .
The performance of New Zealand’s firms plays a vital role in the nation’s productivity and wel being. Our
most productive or “frontier firms” set the bar for al firms. They are a key pathway by which innovation, in
the form of new technologies and work practices, spreads to other firms across the economy.
Yet, the Commission found that the productivity of New Zealand’s frontier firms is on average less than half
(45%) of that found in its international peers.
1
“New Zealand needs to change key aspects of the status quo, to lift the performance of its firms and lift
national productivity,” says Commission Chair Ganesh Nana.
“Innovation is the key. With it, we have a chance to build a world-class competitive advantage in some
markets. Without it, products and production processes become standardised and leaves us trying to
compete against lower‑wage economies.”
“New Zealand can learn from successful small advanced economies (SAEs). They have outstanding
records of world-leading firms exporting specialised, distinctive products at scale. By comparison, most of
New Zealand’s larger companies are strongly oriented towards domestic sales and a mere 30 companies
account for over half of our exports.”
“Successful SAEs (such as Denmark, Singapore and Sweden) focus their investments on creating world-
class innovation ecosystems around their leading firms.”
“Yet smal countries can’t be world class in everything. New Zealand needs to make some tough choices
about where to prioritise investment on a few targeted innovation ecosystems, much like we do in sport.”
Innovation ecosystems describe the capabilities and networks of relationships between firms, researchers,
workers, educators, investors, government and consumers, that drive innovation. Building a world class
innovation ecosystem requires coordinating investments in infrastructure, regulation, skills, research and
business support.
“Think about how New Zealand funds sport. Sophie Pascoe gets funding because she is amazing at
swimming, but the bulk of New Zealand’s investments go into infrastructure, talent development and
research in areas of historic strength - rowing, cycling and yachting. We need to do the same for firms.”
“Kaupapa Māori firms can help light the way because they take a long-term perspective and use innovation
to manage multiple objectives”, notes Nana.
Many Māori firms are already involved in exporting and have higher rates of innovation and R&D than New
Zealand firms general y. Māori values such as kaitiakitanga, manaakitanga and whanaungatanga help
differentiate Māori goods and services and provide added brand value overseas.
“The Commission recommends overhauling the innovation system, including focusing significant
investment in target areas of existing or emerging economic strength and competitive advantage,” says
Nana.
2
“Execution is critical. To make this work will require a clear strategy led by senior political leadership, with
durability across electoral cycles, as wel as rigorous evaluation and being prepared to gather and adapt to
new information. This isn’t something Government can do alone – it needs to work in a genuine partnership
with industry, researchers, Māori, workers, entrepreneurs and innovators.”
Today’s report <https://www.productivity.govt.nz/inquiries/frontier-firms/> makes 30 recommendations to
upgrade New Zealand’s innovation system and make investments in infrastructure, regulation, skil s,
research and business support to boost New Zealand’s productivity.

Image note: A striking finding of the Commission’s inquiry is that the labour productivity of New Zealand’s
frontier firms is less than half (45%) on average that of the best frontier firms in other smal advanced
economies (SAEs), such as Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden.
While New Zealand does have some world-leading firms, it does not have enough. Firms in successful
SAEs are larger and more internationally connected, so these countries also have much higher ratios of
exports to GDP, and greater investments in overseas subsidiaries (overseas direct investment or ODI). The
Commission’s inquiry investigated what these countries do differently in supporting their frontier firms to be
world class.
Notes for editors
1.
The final report New Zealand firms: reaching for the frontier is attached under embargo and wil be
available at: https://www.productivity.govt.nz/frontier-firms/finalreport at 00:01 on Tuesday 20 April 2021.
2. An important measure of productivity is the amount of value created per hour worked. Improving
productivity is about getting more from less. One way to think about productivity is working smarter, rather
than harder.
3. New Zealand’s productivity record is poor. New Zealand’s living standards are only managing to
avoid fal ing further behind other advanced nations, rather than catching up. And to achieve this people are
working harder rather than smarter. This makes delivering improved wel being even more difficult.
4. The Government assigned the Productivity Commission this inquiry to understand how to maximise
the economic contribution of New Zealand’s frontier firms. See inquiry terms of reference here.

Unlocking the potential of Māori frontier firms
The New Zealand Productivity Commission today released the final report of its frontier firms inquiry
<https://www.productivity.govt.nz/inquiries/frontier-firms/> .
Frontier firms are the country’s most productive firms, and they play a vital role in lifting national
productivity and wel being. However, New Zealand’s frontier firms lag significantly behind their international
counterparts.
The Government asked the Commission to take a particular look at Māori firms. The inquiry found that
Māori frontier firms have many of the characteristics needed to innovate, grow and support improved
wel being.
1
Features of Māori firms, such as balancing multiple bottom lines and taking a long‑term view, can be a
strong driver of ambition, which can also flow through to expectations on suppliers. Further, high
shareholder ambition, together with a long‑term view, can spur innovation and experimentation, provided
the underlying assets are not put at risk.
This appetite for innovation is reflected in statistics which show that rates of innovation and R&D are higher
for Māori firms, compared to al New Zealand firms.
“Taking a long-term view and managing multiple bottom lines are complementary to innovation and
productivity”, says Commission Chair Dr Ganesh Nana.
“Innovation requires patient investors who are prepared to stay the course. This contrasts with a short-term
focus on financial performance and shareholder returns that can dominate the focus of boards and
management.”
Many Māori firms are already involved in exporting. Māori values such as kaitiakitanga and manaakitanga,
alongside mātauranga Māori help differentiate Māori goods and services and provide added brand value
overseas. They also closely align with growing global consumer demand for products with strong
environmental and social credentials. This presents export growth opportunities for kaupapa Māori firms
and col ectives.
Despite their successes, Māori firms face several barriers and challenges. Many are finding innovative
ways to work around these constraints. But the Commission thinks they shouldn’t have to.
“Māori firms offer significant potential to contribute to sustainable and productive economic growth”, says
Nana.
“However, they face a number of barriers and challenges that are constraining their potential. The
Government should act to reduce these constraints, to unlock the potential of current and budding Māori
frontier firms, and help the Crown better meet its Treaty obligations.”
Today’s report <https://www.productivity.govt.nz/frontier-firms/finalreport> makes a number of
recommendations for ways the Government can better support Māori frontier firms. These include:
* providing greater flexibility for Māori land-based businesses to use their assets to engage in
productive enterprise;
* raising the potential of Government procurement processes to stimulate Māori business growth;
* exploring how the Māori-Crown relationship can be enhanced to unlock the potential of Māori firms;
* accelerating work to protect mātauranga Māori and intellectual property; and
2
* providing support and resourcing for a Māori-led approach, through a Hui Taumata, to improving
the Māori business ecosystem.
The report also makes recommendations for significant changes to broader innovation policies, regulations
and investments.

Notes for editors
1.
The final report New Zealand firms: Reaching for the frontier is attached under embargo and wil be
available at https://www.productivity.govt.nz/frontier-firms/finalreport at 00:01 on Tuesday 20 April 2021.
Chapter 4 focuses on Insights from Māori firms.
2. A Cut to the chase of Insights from Māori frontier firms is attached under embargo and will be
available at https://www.productivity.govt.nz/cttc/maorifirms at 00:01 on Tuesday 20 April 2021.
3. An important measure of productivity is the amount of value created per hour worked. Improving
productivity is about getting more from less. One way to think about productivity is working smarter, rather
than harder.
4. New Zealand’s productivity record is poor. New Zealand’s living standards are only managing to
avoid fal ing further behind other advanced nations, rather than catching up. And to achieve this people are
working harder rather than smarter. This makes delivering improved wel being even more difficult.
5. The Government assigned the Productivity Commission this inquiry into how to maximise the
economic contribution of New Zealand’s frontier firms. See inquiry terms of reference here.

economic-contribution-of-New-Zealands-frontier-firms-v2.pdf>
6. The New Zealand Productivity Commission <https://www.productivity.govt.nz/> – an independent
Crown entity – was established in April 2011 and completes in-depth inquiry reports on topics selected by
the Government, carries out productivity-related research, and promotes understanding of productivity
issues.

Media paywal di Indonesia

rop/2015/06/5e9d9634ef92e.jpg>
Sebelum adanya media daring, audiens media perlu mengeluarkan sejumlah uang untuk menikmati media,
entah itu dengan cara membeli majalah atau untuk membeli perangkat radio atau televisi.
Secara umum, media mendapatkan pemasukan dari beberapa sumber, misalnya dari pembaca yang
membeli media cetak itu sendiri, iklan, mengadakan acara, advertorial, hingga product placement. Kini,
banyak media daring yang menjadikan paywal (artikel berbayar) sebagai salah satu sumber pemasukan.
Paywall berarti pembaca media daring tidak bisa menikmati konten secara bebas jika tidak mengeluarkan
sejumlah uang untuk berlangganan.
Editor kumparan+ <http://email.telummedia.com/c/eJxNTrGOwyAU-

LKFJoP2G7G85ai7NAl QFsUHBPZJuQ> , Dea Anugrah menjelaskan bahwa jurnalisme butuh ongkos
untuk beroperasi. Pemberlakuan paywal juga didorong dengan pengguna internet Indonesia mulai
terbiasa dengan membayar barang belanjaan dengan berbagai macam dompet digital (e-wallet). ‘’Tren
paywal di media-media arus utama juga mengindikasikan bahwa ini waktu yang tepat untuk berinvestasi
ke penerapan paywal di media kami,’ ujar CEO dari Hybrid.co.id

2020.
‘’(Paywall) sangat efektif. Apalagi, pertumbuhan pelanggan terus menunjukkan hasil positif tiap bulannya.
Efektivitas ini sangat membantu operasional yang bersumber dari iklan dan beragam kerja sama,’ kata
Pemimpin Redaksi Hukumonline.com <http://email.telummedia.com/c/eJxFTsEOwiAU-

Zein, yang mengaplikasikan paywal sejak September 2020.
Dea menjelaskan, karena audiens media di Indonesia sudah terbiasa membaca berita lugas atau hard
news secara gratis, sulit untuk menghadirkan paywal pada konten yang semacam itu. ’ Di kumparan+,
kami menghadirkan berbagai macam konten misalnya liputan khusus, finansial, karier, relationship, dan
well-being,’’ kata dia.
7
‘’kumparan ingin menjadi media yang mandiri secara finansial. Jika mengandalkan pendapatan dari iklan
saja, model ini berpotensi membuat ruang redaksi yang sulit independen,’ katanya. Sering ditemui
fenomena di mana beberapa pengiklan tidak mengizinkan media yang dipasangi iklan untuk meliput
apapun soal perusahaan pengiklan.
Sementara itu, Wiku menjelaskan bahwa ide untuk membayar berita media daring belum populer secara
luas layaknya audiens yang bersedia membeli media cetak. ‘’Pengguna internet sudah terbiasa dengan
prinsip bahwa internet itu gratis, jadi banyak yang menganggap kalau konten artikel berbayar itu tidak
masuk akal. Intinya adalah tentang nilai tambah (added value), bisa tidak media menggoda para pembaca
ini dengan value yang tidak bisa ditolak, yang akhirnya membuat mereka mau berlangganan,’ katanya.
Senada dengan Wiku, Dea menambahkan bahwa kumparan+ menghadirkan konten yang disesuaikan
dengan kebutuhan para pembaca. ‘’Kita bisa menyesuaikan konten dengan tema yang dibutuhkan para
pelanggan. Karena bulan suci Ramadhan sebentar lagi datang, konten yang akan dihadirkan kumparan+
akan berhubungan dengan keagamaan dan mengelola tunjangan hari raya,’ katanya.
Sejauh ini, kumparan+ menyasar pembaca orang yang mandiri secara ekonomi dan tinggal di perkotaan.
Timnya juga menyasar korporasi agar bisa menjadikan langganan kumparan+ sebagai salah satu bentuk
timbal balik kepada para karyawan. Biaya berlangganan kumparan+ adalah Rp20,000 per bulan.
‘’Kami berkomitmen menghadirkan satu artikel baru setiap harinya, yang berarti tim mesti menghubungi
hampir 10 pembuat konten dalam waktu yang bersamaan untuk memastikan ketersediaan artikel baru per
harinya,’ ujar Dea.
Wiku kembali menjelaskan, perbedaan artikel bebas akses dengan Premium Content pada Hybrid.co.id
adalah dari sisi kualitas, kedalaman, serta angle artikel. ‘’Artikel Premium Content yang dikerjakan sekitar
dua hari bisa memberikan kedalaman konteks, serta menampilkan data, wawancara dan analisis. Artikel
bebas akses biasanya seputar berita industri gaming sehari-hari, profil singkat atau ficer yang tidak terlalu
mendalam,’ katanya.
Ide untuk mengerjakan artikel Premium Content bisa datang dari ide masing-masing reporter, tren yang
ada di masyarakat, atau tawaran ide cerita dari pihak eksternal. ‘’Pitch ini akan diolah dahulu, apakah layak
atau tidak, tim redaksi akan menganalisis, lalu kalau pun tema yang ditawarkan itu menjadi artikel, kami
akan mencoba angle yang mungkin lebih luas atau mungkin juga lebih spesifik,’’ kata dia.
Premium Content pada Hybrid.co.id juga tersedia dalam bahasa Inggris. Para pelanggannya adalah pelaku
ekosistem e-sports, media, dan juga masyarakat biasa. Media daring ini mematok tarif dari Rp3,000 per
artikel hingga Rp100,000 untuk berlangganan hingga enam bulan.
Sementara itu, Hukumonline.com memberlakukan biaya berlangganan sejumlah Rp42,000 per bulan.
‘’Artikel pada Premium Stories lebih komprehensif dengan menampilkan data, kaidah hukum, doktrin,
yurisprudensi dan analisis mendalam atas isu hukum yang diangkat,’ kata Fathan.
Fathan menjelaskan, Pembaca Hukumonline.com kebanyakan terdiri dari advokat, legal counsel atau
compliance, serta akademisi. Ia menilai artikel berbayar sangatlah efektif. Di luar Premium Stories,
Hukumonline.com juga memiliki produk Hukumonline.com PRO yang berisi analisis perundang-undangan
dan informasi terkini lanskap hukum.
‘’Saya percaya dengan menu konten yang beragam, orang-orang bersedia mengeluarkan uang. Terlebih
dengan konten pengembangan diri, kami yang menyesuaikan kebutuhan pasar,’ tutur Dea.
Wiku menambahkan, mengingat paywal pada Hybrid.co.id masih baru, pendapatannya belum bisa
menggantikan pendapatan dari iklan atau acara. ' Kami masih melakukan banyak tes kepada termasuk
survei ke pembaca untuk format atau arahan konten yang cocok,’ kata Wiku.

Media paywal in Indonesia

Before the internet, people had to spend money to buy print media, or to buy a radio or television set, to get
access to the news.
Media outlets generate revenue through a combination of business models, for example by advertising,
hosting events, advertorials, and product placements. Many media companies now put up a paywall, as to
create an additional income stream. Having a paywal means that readers cannot access news some
articles, without being a paying subscriber.

LKFJoP2G7G85ai7NAl QFsUHBPZJuQ> ’s Editor, Dea Anugrah explained that newsrooms need money to
pay its workers. Media paywalls are becoming a norm, as Indonesians become more familiar with online
shopping and purchasing items using e-wal ets. ‘’The paywal trend in mainstream media also indicate that
this is the right time to invest in ourselves,’ said the CEO of Hybrid.co.id

in October 2020.
‘’It (a paywal ) is very effective. Subscribers keep growing monthly and this helps our operational costs,
along with advertising revenue and other collaborations,’ said the Editor-in-Chief of Hukumonline.com

Zein. The legal news site introduced its paywal in September 2020.
Dea explained that Indonesian media consumers are very used to reading free news articles and it is hard
to implement a paywal for hard news. ‘’At kumparan+, we offer a wide array of content such as in-depth
articles, finance, career, relationships, and well-being,’ he said.
‘’kumparan aims to be a financial y independent outlet. If we rely solely on advertising revenue, it can
cause a strain on an independent newsroom,’ Dea said. Many advertisers do not allow media outlets to
cover their companies after advertising deals.
Wiku elaborated that the idea of paying for information on the internet is not as popular as paying for print
media. ‘’Netizens think that the internet is free, so paying for news articles don’t make sense. The key is to
have an added value to your articles, interest them in a way they cannot say no to, and that wil drive them
to eventually pay for news,’ he said.

Just like Wiku, Dea said that kumparan+ only feature articles that are relevant to readers’ demands. ‘’We
choose themes that our readers find relatable. The Holy Month of Ramadan is coming soon, so we wil
feature articles that are related to religion and how to manage your religious holiday bonuses,’ he said.
So far, kumparan+ targets readers who are financial y independent and live in big cities. It also works with
companies to offer them subscriptions, to use kumparan+ as a perk for their employees. It costs Rp20,000
per month to subscribe.
‘’We are committed to publish one new article per day, so we can reach out 10 content creators at once to
make sure we have new content every day,’ said Dea.
Wiku explained that the difference between free news articles and premium content at Hybrid.co.id are in
the quality, depth, and angle of the story. ‘’Premium content articles can take around two days to complete,
we provide more insights, show data, interviews and analyses. Free news articles revolve around everyday
gaming news, short profiles, and features that are not as in-depth,’ he said.
Story ideas can come from anywhere for Hybrid.co.id’s premium content. It can be from reporters’ own
ideas, what’s currently trending, or pitches from external parties. ‘’We will brainstorm first, whether pitches
are relevant or not, then we will analyse, and try to see the bigger picture or maybe a specific angle,’ Wiku
said.
Premium content at Hybrid.co.id is also available in English. Its subscribers are people in the e-sports
ecosystem, media, and everyday Indonesians. The outlet charges Rp3,000 to read one article or
Rp100,000 for six months subscription time.
Meanwhile, Hukumonline.com charges Rp42,000 per month. ‘’Premium stories articles are more
comprehensive, as we feature data, rule of law, doctrine, jurisprudence, and in-depth analyses on a certain
law issue,’ Fathan said.
Fathan elaborated that Hukumonline.com readers are mostly people working in the legal sector and
academicians. Other than premium stories, Hukumonline.com also has Hukumonline.com PRO, an
intel igence service that provides legal briefs.
‘’I believe that by offering a wide array of content, people would want to pay for news - especial y on
content related to self-improvement, as that is answering to the needs of the market,’ Dea said.
Wiku added that since the paywal is new, revenue from it stil has not replaced earnings from advertising
or events. ‘’We still conduct surveys on our readers to find out which format or content that fits them best,’’
he said.

As we all navigate our way through this crisis, we are in uncharted territory. We cannot base our actions on
experience because no-one has ever lived through a scenario like this. We do not have enough information
about what is going on.
Or do we?
For government, lack of data is an enormous chal enge. To make the right decisions on spending and
stimulus, it needs to know how economic activity is tracking in real-time. Ideally, it would also have
information on specific industries and regions.
Such information only becomes available when Statistics New Zealand releases its GDP figures. But that
happens only four times a year, and then with a 2.5-month time-lag.
Especial y in a crisis like this, and particularly in an election year, government, business and the wider
public should know earlier about the state of the economy. They al need to make decisions now and on
more than gut-feeling.
Fortunately, thanks to seven years of economic research at Massey University, there is a better way:
GDPLive.
Based on real-time data from the economy, a smal team of researchers around Professor Christoph
Schumacher has created a model to estimate current GDP as it happens.
Using artificial intelligence, the software becomes more sophisticated with each daily input.
GDPLive’s past predictions were stunningly accurate. On 31 December, it estimated growth of 0.527
percent for the final quarter of 2019. The actual figure, released by Statistics NZ on 19 March, was 0.528
percent.
2
I know this sounds like an ad, but it’s true: the model is a world-first and can even predict an individual
sector’s performance and regional economic activity.
No wonder Schumacher has received cal s from multiple Asian countries wishing to replicate what he has
done for their economies.
Unfortunately, New Zealand’s response has not been entirely positive.
Sure, the 2.5 million visits to GDPLive’s website show public interest in a real-time view of the economy.
But so far, government agencies do not engage with its data. Massey University is no longer able to
directly fund the project and no private sponsor has put up their hand to cover the annual cost of around
$100,000. Ironical y, GDPLive may be the victim of New Zealand’s worst-measured GDP decline ever.
And since you asked, as of today for this year’s second quarter, GDPLive estimates it will fall by 16.3
percent.
The public will hear about this on 17 September.

East Asia: The role model for Covid-19

Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan deserve praise for fighting Covid-19.
While Singapore and South Korea were hit with a second outbreak, their robust containment measures
have kicked back in to stop rapid spread of the virus once more. As New Zealand ponders how to prepare
for a future pandemic, it should look to East Asia.
3
Vietnam and Hong Kong also showed early success againt the coronavirus, but the New Zealand
Government has focused its attention on those first three countries.
The common factor for their success was their experience with the SARS pandemic in 2003 and MERS in
2015. They built better epidemiolgocial and quarantine systems along with border controls, high-level
diagnostic testing and rapid contact tracing capacities. They also regularly disinfect public spaces and
encourage the public use of masks.
In the last few weeks, another outbreak of Covid-19 makes it appear Singapore’s performance was a
complete failure, but it was not. These new community cases constitute only 7% of the total count and
more accurately reflect human error in monitoring a handful of migrant dormitories than a systemic failure
of the city-state’s response plans.
Further north, South Korea recovered quickly from an initial outbreak in March. The government’s ‘smart-
city data hub’ al owed it to quickly locate cases again after a second outbreak occurred in Seoul bars. So
far, a total of 1982 possible cases have been rapidly traced by this system, keeping the average number of
fresh daily cases low at 23.
Stanford University’s Jason Wang said Taiwan’s response was among the best in the world. Its timely
border controls for flights coming from China began on December 31, 2019 – a ful month before other
nations thought about similar controls. By March 20, Taiwan only had 27 new cases. Once again, a digital
surveil ance system was critical in tracking down and isolating individuals with the virus.
New Zealand’s Covid-19 containment performance was impressive. But, as Kiwi epidemiologists have
emphasised, its contact tracing system still has plenty of room for improvement. As South Korea and
Singapore have shown, there is still a real risk of a second outbreak from even one new superspreader.
That’s why it is an imperative that New Zealand take this opportunity to repair and prepare its contact
tracing capacity to ensure the country holds onto its hard-won gains. Those three East Asian states offer
plenty of great examples to get this done.

When told the French peasants had no bread during a famine, the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, is
said to have exclaimed “Qu'ils mangent de la brioche!" – loosely translated as “Let them eat cake!”
Last week’s calls for extra holidays to support the ailing tourism industry are just as out of touch.
New Zealand is a nation of smal businesses. Nearly half a mil ion of them employ about a third of the
workforce. And in the aftermath of the war on Covid-19 many SMEs are struggling – including in the
tourism sector.
But the solution to New Zealand’s tourism woes is not an extra public holiday or two to visit Queenstown.
While everyone loves having days off, an unexpected statutory holiday either costs employers a day’s
expected revenue or sees them incur extra payrol costs. Penal rates apply on public holidays and staff
working statutory holidays must be given a day off in lieu.
An additional paid day off for employees comes at an equal and offsetting cost to employers. Taking from
Peter to pay Paula will not generate extra national income for Kiwis to spend on vacation. At best it is a
zero-sum game.
More likely it is a negative-sum game. Heaping extra costs on already stressed businesses may be the
straw that breaks the camel’s back. And if the extra cost does not push a business over the edge, firms wil
simply employ fewer staff to claw back the extra costs of the additional holiday pay.
What may seem like a good way of helping the tourism industry would more likely end up hurting it.
Paradoxically, the best way to support the tourism sector is for everyone to be back at work. That way
everybody will be able to afford a take a break.
We may al love cake, but we need to earn our daily bread to enjoy it.

《晚点LatePost》和《财经》杂志的关系是怎样的？它的定位是什么？
《晚点LatePost》大部分股权在团队，《财经》杂志是少数股东。我们的定位是做中国最好的商业媒体，最
早聚焦中国互联网大中型公司，提供深度报道和独家新闻；目前正拓展到更多商业报道领域。
互联网公司早已超出互联网行业，经⼀⼆⼗年的创业发展成⻓为大小巨头，成为连接中国经济方方面面的血
脉。它们代表今天中国经济最具活力的部分，也是各种矛盾的集中体现。
我们希望从商业公司报道切入，逐渐延伸出去，穿破杂讯，弄清什么是真正重要的问题，帮助读者理解这个
世界。
编辑团队的情况如何？
我们采编团队目前有14个记者编辑，最近正在招募，会有⼀些新同事加入。在人员到位后，会有更清晰的领
域覆盖。
谈及微信号，阅读量或是无法避免的话题。《晚点LatePost》如何看待“阅读量”给予媒体的压力和定义？
新闻报道永远不如情绪挑拨吸引眼球。但做什么样的内容，就有什么样的读者。想清楚这⼀点，媒体应该不
会对阅读量有太多困扰。
《晚点LatePost》的所有报道从选题确定，到编辑、发布都有编辑参与，不会有追逐最大阅读量的内容。但
在这个前提下，微信阅读量是个有意义的衡量指标，比网站或者⼀些聚合平台的点击量更能反映内容质量。
因为微信阅读更多来自用户转发而非订阅，用户更愿意转发自己觉得有价值的新闻。《晚点 LatePost》成立
以来微信阅读量最⾼的⼀篇报道也是公共价值最大的⼀篇。
您认为在微信渠道做内容，特别是严肃新闻内容，难点在于什么？
不管在什么渠道，做好内容的难点都差不多：做好报道，只做好报道，坚持做更多好报道。
微信的限制则更多在于每天发布的内容数量限制，以及机构发展到⼀定规模之后的商业化。
推荐几个您日常浏览的微信公众号？
5
除了《晚点LatePost》自己的内容外，我日常关注的微信公众号可能就是李迅雷、洪灏等的宏观分析。
我获取信息来自更⻓或者更短的内容，⻓的比如书，或者更原始的信息，报表、对话视频、采访速记；短的
比如Twitter、金融终端简讯、各种简报等。
鉴于目前趋势，《晚点 LatePost》有何最新动态？
中国最值得报道的公司大多已经上市，或者在上市路上。过去两年充满难以预料的宏观事件，资本市场跌宕
起伏，经济数据像是骰子掷出来的。但资本市场报道往往太⻓或太无聊。
我们最近上线了《晚点早知道》（微信号：FinPost），从每日IPO的快速报道开始，让读者⼀眼了解当天上
市募股的大小公司。之后会拓展到提供更多类型的信息、尝试更多发布渠道，提供更易读、更轻便、更可信
的资本市场报道，帮助读者从噪音中抓住重点。
与此同时，《晚点LatePost》（微信号：LatePost）会继续推进⻓报道和重要公司的独家新闻。

Telum Talks To... Huang Junjie, Chief Editor / Partner, LatePost

otos/crop/2014/08/5bc5b191dba6f.jpg>
What is the relationship between LatePost and CAIJING Magazine? How does LatePost find its positioning
in the market?
CAIJING Magazine is a minority shareholder of LatePost. We initial y focused on Big Tech in China and
also provided in-depth reports as wel as exclusive stories of the technology industry.
Nowadays, Internet companies have a much broader reach beyond their own core business. After decades
of development, companies such like Tencent, Alibaba, Meituan, Didi, Beike, etc., have grown into giants
and play a key role in their respective market, connecting all aspects of China’s economy. They are the
most dynamic parts of the economy but also reflect the contradictions in our society.
In this context, we are expanding our news coverage to include more sectors, hoping to draw relevance
from the ocean of information available on the public domain.
How’s the editorial team?
Our newsroom has 14 reporters and editors, and we are hiring. Several experienced journalists wil be on
board in a few weeks. We wil have more desks specialising in different beats afterwards.
When it comes to WeChat accounts, the number of page views is always an unavoidable topic. What do
you make of it as a pressure on publications?
News reports are never as attractive as emotional and sometimes provocative content. But we need to be
aware that the audience can be shaped by what they read. Once we figure this out, we won’t be bothered
by page views.
Every story we publish is well-edited. The quality is judged by the team, not page views. But we do think
WeChat page view number is a more meaningful indicator compared to websites or news aggregators
since most WeChat users read stories through links from their friends' feeds or groups, and they only share
stories that are considered valuable or important.
What are the difficulties of creating news content on WeChat?
No matter what the type of media we are, the difficulties about covering news is always how you break the
news and break the news that matters.
I think the limitation of building a media organisation on WeChat is mainly the restriction on the number of
feeds we can publish on a daily basis and its commercialisation.
Recommend several WeChat public accounts that you're keen on?
Economic analysis from Xunlei Li or Hao Hong.
9
I tend to read longer-form content or even shorter rather than a typical WeChat news story. Longer content
is like books, ful video interviews or transcripts. Shorter ones are originally from tweets, financial terminal
newsfeed or newsletters.
Any upcoming strategies of LatePost on the news agenda?
Most Chinese companies that are newsworthy have already gone public or been trying to do so. A series of
unpredicted events have sent the market on a rol er coaster. However, many financial news stories are
either too long or too boring.
Regarding that, we launched LatePost Zao Zhi Dao (晚点早知道 in Chinese) on WeChat in August,
focusing on daily IPO coverage. We will soon expand the coverage to include other sectors and present
them on multiple channels other than WeChat. The proposition is to deliver clear, efficient and trustworthy
information to our readers.
Meanwhile, LatePost wil also develop long-form content and continue to cover important business news
stories.

New Zealand’s place in the world: the implications of COVID-19
New Zealand needs to leverage its safe, strong reputation and unique position of being COVID-19-free
for its economic advantage, say experts in a new paper that examines the effect of the pandemic on our
international standing.
'New Zealand’s place in the world: the implications of COVID-19' is the third discussion paper in the
Future is
Now Conversations Series produced by Koi Tū: The Centre for Informed Futures, a think tank and research
centre at the University of Auckland.
Koi Tū director Sir Peter Gluckman says leveraging New Zealand’s strong reputation, diversifying the markets we
target and the products we sell, and harnessing our entrepreneurial business sector are some of the many
economic opportunities available.
As a small, geographically-isolated island nation, New Zealand is particularly vulnerable to international
disruptions that affect our strategic al iances, market access, supply chains, tourist and student flows, and the
availability of international labour.
“COVID-19 has been such an unprecedented disruption," he says. "The future progress of the pandemic and
countries’ responses to its direct and indirect effects are uncertain. We have limited resources to respond to the
challenges and need to prioritise actions which will make the biggest and most long-lasting differences."
Sir Peter says New Zealand’s reputation and standing, along with its hopefully COVID-free status, may make us
attractive for corporate entities to bring core research and development R&D and intel ectual assets, including
management teams, into our well-connected and safe environment.
Written by John Allen (former chief executive and Secretary of Foreign Affairs and Trade), Sir Peter Gluckman,
Dr Anne Bardsley and defence science specialist Hema Sridhar, the paper captures the insights of more than 20
domestic and international trade, diplomatic and strategic experts.
It explores trade, political and economic models and considers what New Zealand can do to leverage advantage
– such as re-energising our relationship with China, working closely with Australia, building coalitions with other
small advanced countries, re-orienting our economy and investing in innovation.
Mr Allen says the COVID-19 pandemic arrived at a time when the world was already struggling with growing
tensions between the major powers, and in particular between the USA and China.
“The shifting world order creates risks for New Zealand because many of the decisions that determine the new
norms will be made by others, and we have limited, or no, ability to influence them."
Mr Allen says New Zealand needs to re-energise its relationship with China, as it is still our number one trading
partner, and with both the US and Europe under pressure, it stil represents the most significant opportunity for
1
many New Zealand businesses in the immediate future.
He says New Zealand has to date successfully navigated between Chinese and American interests, but this is
becoming more challenging – particularly with the US election ahead and the pandemic’s impact in the USA.
“These relationships wil always be critical. We should use less-traditional vehicles for relationship building such
as science and culture and we need to enhance our cultural understanding of China, particularly across
Government. We do not have to choose between the major powers and we should not do so.”
Mr Allen also stresses the need to continue to work closely with Australia and other countries in the Pacific
region.
“With our economy and society tightly integrated with Australia, we need to re-open our respective borders to
each other as soon as possible, while also exploring new, non-regionally- based trading alliances, in which
Japan could be a critical partner.”
The pandemic has highlighted the need for global cooperation, now more than ever, not just in this crisis but
because of the even greater threat of climate change.
“New Zealand must be bold and outward looking in a world that may turn inwards,” says Sir Peter.

NZ Super Fund investments in Myanmar linked companies
Attachments:
NZ Super Publicly-listed companies connected to the Myanmar mi litary and
junta.xlsx; NZ Super Portfolio-Disclosures-as-at-31-Dec-2020-9.XLSX; NZ Super
Responsible-Investment-Framework (6).pdf
Hey Katie,
To this email I have attached the excel sheet list compiled with the help of Australian activist group Justice for
Myanmar, of companies that NZ Super Fund has invested NZ$102,727,647 of holdings, linked to either the Myanmar
military (pre-dating the Feb 1 coup) or the military junta. Of those, NZ$21,165,391 is invested in companies linked to
the military pre-dating the coup (the first tab) and NZ$81,562,256 is invested in companies that have commercial
ties to Myanmar state agencies now under military control (the second tab).
I realised the spreadsheet I showed you this morning is missing Marubeni Corp, which is building a major thermal
gas plant in partnership with the junta. This brings the total of NZ Super holdings to over NZ$100 million.
The first tab includes Kirin Holdings, who has announced that they will cut ties with military conglomerate MEHL,
but has not done so yet. Norway's oil fund has placed Kirin under observation and we think NZ Super should do the
same (Kirin also owns a major stake in the NZ beer and wine industry - and seems generally be sensitive to NZ and
Australian public opinion). See https://www.nbim.no/en/the-fund/news-list/2020/decisions-on-observation-and-
exclusion/ In addition there is also NZ Super investment in arms companies that are selling to the Myanmar military.
This includes a listed subsidiary of AVIC, which has sold the Myanmar military a fleet of JF-17 fighter jets and PL-5E
missiles in recent years.
The second tab consists of companies who provide payments to the military junta – and ideally this would
freeze/the companies would suspend business until democracy is restored, if not they could be essentially complicit
in human rights abuses. In addition I’d like to draw your attention to KDDI Corp and Sumitomo Corp in Myanmar.
KDDI is NZ Super's second biggest holding on our list with an investment of NZ$23,953,861. KDDI and Sumitomo
jointly operate MPT, a state-owned mobile network now under military control that is generating revenue for the
junta. As you may be aware, the military has imposed a protracted internet shutdown that is a mass violation of
freedom of expression and the right to information and it filters the web, blocking some media and activist websites
etc…
I will also link to the source of Super’s portfolio disclosures - https://www.nzsuperfund.nz/publications/annual-
equity-listings/ (I have attached the actual excel sheet to the email) which is where all of the investments were
found. Most are under the global equities tab.
I’ve also attached NZ Super’s ethical investment framework.
The Green Party is currently unsatisifed with the way that the NZ Super Fund has been applying it’s ethical
investment framework to investments that are complicit in human rights abuses.

Palau says WHO’s exclusion of Taiwan endangers COVI-19 fight
by Bernadette H. Carreon
Palau President Tommy Remengesau Jr. said that during the COVID-19 global pandemic. World Health
Organization’s (WHO) neglect of Taiwan has wrongfully endangered not only the people of Taiwan but all
countries.
Remengesau in his State of the Republic Address (SORA) on April 30 thanked Taiwan government for its
support to the nation in preparations to address the threat of the pandemic.
One of Taiwan’s few diplomatic allies in the Pacific, President Remengesau said Palau will continue to
support Taiwan’s efforts in international fora.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the danger of Taiwan’s unfair isolation from the international
system. Neglect by the World Health Organization, among others, has wrongfully endangered not only the
people of Taiwan but those of all countries in this interconnected world. We will continue to fight against
this unfair exclusion.”
Taiwan’s affective response to COVID-19 is one of the world’s success stories in combatting coronavirus.
But despite the success, their involvement in international public health care efforts is still under pressure by
China.
Taiwan government poured in medical supplies and grants to help fight the coronavirus. Onsite testing is
now made possible in Palau due to the assistance of Taiwan through test kits, PCR machine, and medical
training.
Remengesau said his nation is grateful for its relationship with the Republic of China, Taiwan.
“Taiwan is a strong and generous neighbor that has confirmed its position in the Pacific and therefore has
gained the right to contribute as a member of the global community. Palau will continue to support
Taiwan’s efforts in the international fora and will work to nurture our friendship and improve our
cooperation,” he said.
There has been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Palau and according to the Ministry of Health (MOH)
as of May 1, 313 testings that have been conducted since April 14 all returned negative.
The MOH also announced that while it continues to test essential services’ workers in the community for
COVID-19, testing is also open to anyone in the community who has symptoms such as fever, cough, sore
throat, runny nose, or any other COVID-19 or influenza-like symptoms. Testing is open until May 11, 2020.
Palau is also ramping up its testing capabilities as more testing kits are expected to arrive in Palau, including
rapid testing kits donations.
With a population of almost 18,000, Health Minister Emais Roberts said Palau’s capabilities to test are
building up.
“Somewhere along the line, we can test everybody,” he said.

Palau continues to close its border to tourism until the end of May, it is, however, arranging a flight this
month to allow the return of stranded Palauans and residents home.
The United Airlines flight tentatively scheduled on May 21 to fly from Guam will also facilitate the
outbound travel of stranded tourists and foreign workers from Palau.

PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION PRESS RELEASE

New Zealand needs to do better at building world-class firms
The New Zealand Productivity Commission today released the final report of its frontier firms inquiry
<https://www.productivity.govt.nz/inquiries/frontier-firms/> .
The performance of New Zealand’s firms plays a vital role in the nation’s productivity and wellbeing. Our
most productive or “frontier firms” set the bar for al firms. They are a key pathway by which innovation, in
the form of new technologies and work practices, spreads to other firms across the economy.
Yet, the Commission found that the productivity of New Zealand’s frontier firms is on average less than half
(45%) of that found in its international peers.
“New Zealand needs to change key aspects of the status quo, to lift the performance of its firms and lift
national productivity,” says Commission Chair Ganesh Nana.
“Innovation is the key. With it, we have a chance to build a world-class competitive advantage in some
markets. Without it, products and production processes become standardised and leaves us trying to
compete against lower‑wage economies.”
“New Zealand can learn from successful small advanced economies (SAEs). They have outstanding
records of world-leading firms exporting specialised, distinctive products at scale. By comparison, most of
New Zealand’s larger companies are strongly oriented towards domestic sales and a mere 30 companies
account for over half of our exports.”
“Successful SAEs (such as Denmark, Singapore and Sweden) focus their investments on creating world-
class innovation ecosystems around their leading firms.”
1
“Yet smal countries can’t be world class in everything. New Zealand needs to make some tough choices
about where to prioritise investment on a few targeted innovation ecosystems, much like we do in sport.”
Innovation ecosystems describe the capabilities and networks of relationships between firms, researchers,
workers, educators, investors, government and consumers, that drive innovation. Building a world class
innovation ecosystem requires coordinating investments in infrastructure, regulation, skills, research and
business support.
“Think about how New Zealand funds sport. Sophie Pascoe gets funding because she is amazing at
swimming, but the bulk of New Zealand’s investments go into infrastructure, talent development and
research in areas of historic strength - rowing, cycling and yachting. We need to do the same for firms.”
“Kaupapa Māori firms can help light the way because they take a long-term perspective and use innovation
to manage multiple objectives”, notes Nana.
Many Māori firms are already involved in exporting and have higher rates of innovation and R&D than New
Zealand firms general y. Māori values such as kaitiakitanga, manaakitanga and whanaungatanga help
differentiate Māori goods and services and provide added brand value overseas.
“The Commission recommends overhauling the innovation system, including focusing significant
investment in target areas of existing or emerging economic strength and competitive advantage,” says
Nana.
“Execution is critical. To make this work will require a clear strategy led by senior political leadership, with
durability across electoral cycles, as wel as rigorous evaluation and being prepared to gather and adapt to
new information. This isn’t something Government can do alone – it needs to work in a genuine partnership
with industry, researchers, Māori, workers, entrepreneurs and innovators.”
Today’s report <https://www.productivity.govt.nz/inquiries/frontier-firms/> makes 30 recommendations to
upgrade New Zealand’s innovation system and make investments in infrastructure, regulation, skil s,
research and business support to boost New Zealand’s productivity.

Image note: A striking finding of the Commission’s inquiry is that the labour productivity of New Zealand’s
frontier firms is less than half (45%) on average that of the best frontier firms in other small advanced
economies (SAEs), such as Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden.
2
While New Zealand does have some world-leading firms, it does not have enough. Firms in successful
SAEs are larger and more internationally connected, so these countries also have much higher ratios of
exports to GDP, and greater investments in overseas subsidiaries (overseas direct investment or ODI). The
Commission’s inquiry investigated what these countries do differently in supporting their frontier firms to be
world class.

2. An important measure of productivity is the amount of value created per hour worked. Improving
productivity is about getting more from less. One way to think about productivity is working smarter, rather
than harder.
3. New Zealand’s productivity record is poor. New Zealand’s living standards are only managing to
avoid fal ing further behind other advanced nations, rather than catching up. And to achieve this people are
working harder rather than smarter. This makes delivering improved wel being even more difficult.
4. The Government assigned the Productivity Commission this inquiry to understand how to maximise
the economic contribution of New Zealand’s frontier firms. See inquiry terms of reference here.

Rt Hon Winston Peters Speech to Business North Harbour
Rt Hon Winston Peters
Leader of New Zealand First
29 September 2020
Speech to Business North Harbour
Thursday 1st October 2020, 12-2pm
New Zealand was not doing wel before COVID-19 and with COVID-19 New Zealand voters are feeling
enormous uncertainty and fear about our economic situation.
New Zealand First understands that.
We think people understand just how difficult the economic recovery is going to be.
With two major contributors to the economy – international tourism and education – moribund, the country
faces an enormous challenge to earn as much money as it did pre-Covid.
And let’s not fool ourselves, as necessary as the wage subsidy was, in its absence we’re going to see a
dramatic lift in unemployment, predicted to rise to over 7 percent next year, peaking at 7.8 percent in March
2022 in Treasury projections.
More and more New Zealanders are adjusting to living with job insecurity or worse.
The so-called feel good factor of New Zealand supposedly doing better than other countries economical y
is wearing thin very quickly.
Now don’t get this wrong, we supported the economic approach the coalition has taken in response to
Covid.
In fact New Zealand First framed for Labour the philosophy that drove much of what fol owed in our
immediate economic response.
Given the historic uncertainty that the pandemic produced, and with no playbook to guide us, we said that if
the coalition erred, it should err on the side of being closer to the First Labour Government’s humanitarian
response to the Great Depression than the Fourth Labour Government’s blitzkrieg approach.
The 1935 approach helped the country survive the depression and it set up long term access for housing,
employment and necessary welfare. It set the course, also, for policy stability that lasted the next fifty
years.
The latter 1984 and 1990 ideological y-driven approach sent people over the cliff with no warning and no
support. Thirty-five years on we are still seeing the wreckage through:
1
* inter-generational welfare;
* the explosion of inequality;
* And a distorted economy that doesn’t give everyone the same chance to succeed or fail on their own
terms.
So, we’re proud of our contribution to the initial set of decisions the coalition took to get New Zealanders
through the massive shock of lockdowns and collapsed economic activity.
However, we see now that we are not doing as well as we ought.
One piece of economic data that shocked me when the PREFU was published was the 12.2 percent fall in
GDP when compared to Australia’s fall of 7.0 percent or Taiwan at -1.4 percent.
The challenge this presents is two-fold.
First, we need to seriously grow our exports and incentivise our exporters to sel more. Never more have
we needed to ride their coat-tails so New Zealand First’s economic policy is unashamedly pro-growth and
pro-business. It would include:
* An ironclad commitment to ensure there are no increases in personal or business taxes;
* We will offer a tax break for new exports of 20% and an urgent reduction of business taxation to
incentivise modernisation, increase productivity and employment;
* New Zealand First will continue to work hard to progress Free Trade Agreements to ensure that NZ
exporters can grow in world markets as the global economy recovers;
* We will reduce corporate tax and not forget the R&D tax credit programme, as well as stopping a
negative capital gains tax and interfering with al commercial leases;
* An accelerated capital depreciation regime which we think is absolutely necessary to encourage
businesses large and small to invest in plant and capital;
* New Zealand First will bring back the 90 Day Work trial to all businesses. That policy is necessary
because of the economic conditions we find ourselves in
* We have to give employers and job seekers the best chance to grow;
* We need to make it easier for workers to get out and work in the orchards and the vineyards. New
Zealand First will adjust the abatement rate so whilst the work is there New Zealanders can go out and
earn. Simply put, we cannot have fruit and produce rotting on the ground;
* Only under New Zealand First wil the Provincial Growth Fund continue, targeted to business by
industry and sector type, and directly related to training and skills enhancement programmes;
* The PGF will need to take a leading role in promoting local production as we ramp up import
substitution and exports. This would also have a focus on supporting climate change initiatives, waste
reductions and sustainability;
* Why do we support seeing the PGF continue? Because we say this as a matter of principle, driven
by the conviction that the health of our cities rests upon our productive regions succeeding;
* Should by some calamity our cities burn down but our productive regions survive, then our cities wil
spring up again as if by magic; but destroy our regions, and grass wil grow in the streets of every city in the
country.
2
* Having made a commitment to the billion trees programme, New Zealand First believes it is
important that the value-add proposition helps grow the timber to build our own homes, and satisfy demand
* We will continue to invest in the value add proposition that has been so lacking in the NZ economy
for decades. This will include for example agritech and IT industries.
New Zealand First believes that these policies wil mean that New Zealand wil recover faster, grow more
jobs, and start to pay down debt so that our children are not saddled with the oppressive burden facing
them.
The second big economic challenge is to maintain fiscal discipline. New Zealand needs to work smarter.
So does the government.
New Zealand First gets quite a bit of flak for occasionally serving as a handbrake.
Wel , let me tel you what that handbrake has saved the taxpayer and business from during the past:
* An Independent Climate Change Commission with the statutory independence of the Reserve Bank;
* Nutty yet hugely damaging methane targets for our farmers up until 2030;
* $100 million thrown away in Southland for a ‘Just transition’ to an unclear destination;
* An additional $75 million (over four years), on top of $50 million already doled out indiscriminately to
failing media organisations, most of who are foreign-owned;
* Interfering with the law of contracts on ALL commercial leases;
* By pushing Labour hard on coming down Alert Levels faster than was their inclination we saved the
country hundreds and mil ions of dollars in otherwise lost economic activity.
And seeing that we live in a political economy a final warning to you is this:
*
Without New Zealand First, who in a Labour-Greens Government wil exercise the necessary fiscal
restraint to restore the budget into surplus and begin to pay down the mounting horrendous debt?
*
Without New Zealand First, who can provide a check on the left’s hunger for taxing the life out of
the productive workforce? Tax as love? Give us a break.
*
Without New Zealand First, who will prevent an explosion in welfare spending, the expansion of
ACC into il ness, and a highly likely social insurance mega government reform?
*
Without New Zealand First who will prevent a left government from opening a new wave of Treaty
claims out of previously settled ones?
*
Mark these words, that wil be the effect of a settlement at Ihumatao, which both Labour and
Greens have pledged to do.
New Zealand is facing an historic set of economic challenges, not that you’d know it from coverage of this
election campaign.
Be that as it may, New Zealand First is asking you to take out necessary insurance. To grow the economy
while maintaining fiscal discipline you need New Zealand First back in government. We have demonstrated
over the past three years our competence and our ability to curb Labour and the Green’s worst instincts.
We also say experience is needed now more than ever. Don’t risk your and your children’s future. We say
to you today, instead, back your future and we’ll back you.

與特倫對話：La Vie副社長暨總編輯林佳育
可以分享一下作為《La Vie》副社長暨總編輯的工作日常嗎？
十幾年的工作經驗中，我已習慣規律並有效率的安排工作時間。每天早上進行例行性
的會議，空檔時我會瀏覽大量的新聞，不設限於哪一種產業或是主題，並標註一些想
要深入研究的標題或人物；中午時段時常有客戶或品牌餐會，若沒有特別行程我喜歡
散步清理一下思緒；而下午則是參加各式各樣的記者會或座談會，與同業或品牌之間
進行交流；傍晚時刻與各個部門的同事們討論各項進度與內容，並同時完成自己當日
的工作。
什麼契機讓您投進美學雜誌的世界？
因大學及研究所都是主修設計與藝術相關的學科，當時數位內容並不像現在如此蓬勃
與多元，所以很多設計新知都是需要透過紙本媒體傳播，單純的想說與其‘做’設計
，不如‘寫’設計，因此也順利地進入媒體產業擔任採訪編輯，當時採訪過許多世界
知名的建築大師與設計師，至今依然非常深刻與感動。
《La Vie》平常如何制訂每期的主題，又以什麼準則挑選題材？
《La Vie》的編輯團隊花了很多心力於封面故事企劃與執行，大約年底時已經制定了
下個年度的封面故事企劃走向，在不偏離《La Vie》媒體品牌的核心定位、以及對應
4
讀者輪廓之下所提出的企畫，在生活文化、設計藝術等產業中，我們須預測趨勢話題
、挖掘既有價值重新定義，但有時我們只想做個好玩（不太嚴肅）的議題來回應當下
。
作為一本美學雜誌，除了關注台灣設計外，你們也同時涉獵很多國際的設計潮流。您
認為台灣設計的美學特質是什麼？如何看台灣的設計文創產業？
每一個時段皆有其特色，尤其進入了數位化的時代，許多美學與設計的表現更為多元
，年輕設計師善於取材在地文化，透過不同風格與創意的表現形式，混種與轉譯出一
種所謂當代的美學，這已不設限於以往美醜的觀念，而是有沒有態度或主張。我覺得
台灣的設計或文創產業也非常懂得串聯，跨界合作或是資源共享這是蠻可貴的特質。
你們每年都會舉辦「台灣創意力100」評選，挖掘台灣文化及創意領域中表現優秀者。
可以簡介一下嗎？
《La Vie》以媒體的角度長年觀察台灣設計文化與創意產業的脈動，每兩年我們邀請
專家評審一起共同評選出最具代表性「台灣創意力100」，其中包含最具影響力文化創
意事件／社會實踐／創意場域／創意平台／創意展會／創意品牌／最具影響力人物／
風格創意人物，透過點、線、面的觀察與盤點，可明確地掌握目前台灣創意產業的生
態與發展，更重要的是從這評選過程中我們發現這產業裡有著豐富的創造力，從台灣
這片土地生長而出的文化價值與創新創意，這股能量讓這群創意人可自信地邁向國際
。去年開始我們將「社會實踐」納入評選的選項之一，因為我們發現從教育現場、農
業經濟、地方創生等不同領域，都可發現一群新世代的年輕人帶著創意去實踐一件對
社會或環境非常有意義的事情，這中有太多動人的故事了，敬請期待2021年「台灣創
意力100」!
您覺得台灣有足夠健康的土壤去支持年輕設計者、幫助群眾培養美感嗎？
每一個國家或城市都有不同的文化背景與資源，但不同的環境總是會造就不同創造力
與結果。簡單舉例，「2020台灣設計展」於新竹市舉辦，為期10天的展覽吸引了280萬
人次參觀，設計展以城市為展演舞台，結合科技藝術、數位符碼、互動表演與裝置等
，讓設計產業不再局限於特定族群，而是一種全民參與、共享、與創造的過程，美感
也無形的融入於生活之中。
這一年的世事變化太快，以您的觀察，生活風格／設計藝文／創意產業隨著世情變化
，將會有什麼新的發展趨勢？
這段期間讓大家更有時間與空間的回望自己所生活的土地，島內（台灣本島）、跳島
（台灣許多小離島）旅行非常興盛，同時也花上更多的時間去深入探索台灣豐富的山
林以及海洋文化，相關的主題延伸在許多展覽及創作中，內容非常生猛有趣！沉浸式
的設計體驗與內容數位化都是發展中的趨勢。
給公關的建議——公關該如何與你們合作？
除了基本的內容合作之外，我們也樂於嘗試一些新的跨界或聯名合作的可能，有任何
想法歡迎隨時來聊聊！

Telum Talks to... Lin Chia-Yu, Vice President and Editor-
in-Chief at La Vie
Can you share with us your daily work as the Vice President and Editor-in-
Chief of La Vie? Having over ten years of experience in this field, I have become accustomed to the
regular and efficient work schedule. There are routine meetings every morning. I
treasure time between those meetings and read lots of news, not limited to any
industries or topics; meanwhile, I jot down subjects or persons I want to study in-
depth. Additional y, there is often business lunch with clients or brands; if there is no
particular business commitment, I like to take a walk and declutter my mind. In the
afternoon, typically, I have to attend various press conferences or seminars to share
values and opinions with brands or members of my profession. In the evening, I
usually discuss working progress and project matters with peers from different
departments and complete my works of the day at the same time.
What motivated you to enter the world of a design publication? I majored in design and art subjects at the university and research institute. At that
time, digital content was not as common and diverse as it is now, so most of the
latest design-related knowledge and news was disseminated through paper media. I
just preferred “writing” articles on designing and art to “producing” designs. Then, I
successfully entered the media industry as an editor. I am still profoundly thankful
that I have interviewed many world-renowned experienced architects and designers
then, that is particularly memorable to me.
What is a La Vie story like, and how do you choose your cover story? The editorial team of La Vie has put a lot of effort into the organisation and execution
of cover stories. By the year-end, it has already formulated the direction for next
year’s cover stories. Fol owing the core positioning of La Vie’s
branding and
corresponding readers’ interests, we have to explore trending topics and established
values to redefine in leisure & culture, design & art, and other sectors. But
sometimes we simply love to work on amusing (less serious) stories about the hot
topics or those reflecting society conditions.
As a design-focused magazine, your team also covers a lot of international
design trends. From your observations, what's unique about Taiwanese
design? How has the industry developed over the years? Each period of a society has its characteristics, especial y in the digital era.
Aesthetics and designs have become more diverse. Young designers nowadays are
good at making use of local cultures and elements, mixing and transforming them
into so-cal ed contemporary aesthetics through various styles and creative
expressions. It is not about the past concept of beauty and ugliness; it is about
personal attitudes and opinions. To me, Taiwan’s designing or cultural & creative
industries also know a lot about connecting different cultural and artistic elements.
Cross-border cooperation or resource sharing is quite valuable qualities.
Every year, La Vie holds "Taiwan's 100 Creative Awards", honouring talents in
Taiwan's cultural and creative fields. Can you tell us more about the event? La Vie
has been observing the pulses in Taiwan’s designing & cultural and creative
industries from the perspective of media. Every two years, we will invite experts to
jointly select the mort representative peers for “Taiwan’s 100 Creative Awards” (台灣
創意力100) from categories including the Most Influential Cultural and Creative
Events, Social Practices, Creative Venues, Creative Platforms, Creative Exhibitions,
Creative Brands, Most Influential Figures, Creative Style Figures. Through
observation and identification of points, lines and surfaces, the ecology and
development of creative industries in Taiwan could be clearly understood. More
importantly, during the selection process, we have found that there is a wealth of
9
creativity in the industry, and cultural values and innovations growing from the land
of Taiwan. This energy al ows these creative people to move towards the
international platform confidently.
We started to include “Social Practice” as one of the selection options last year. We
realised that, in various sectors such as education, agricultural economy, location
creation, and many other fields, there is a group of young people putting their
creative ideas into practice, doing something significant for the society or the
environment. There are too many moving stories in this, so please look forward to
the “Taiwan’s 100 Creative Awards” in 2021!
Do you think Taiwan has done enough in supporting young designers and
cultivating the aesthetic sense of the general public? Every country or city owns different cultural backgrounds and resources, while
different environments always create diverse creativity and outcomes. For example,
the 2020 Taiwan Design Expo (2020台灣設計展) exhibition held in Hsinchu and
attracted 2,800 thousand of visitors in 10 days has taken the city as the performance
stage and combined technology, digital codes, interactive performances, installation
and other forms of art. The designing industry is no longer limited to specific groups
of people. It lets all souls join, share, and create something together, and integrates
aesthetics into daily lives.
Things have been changing too fast this year. From your perspective, what
new trends can we expect in the lifestyle / design / creative industry? During this period, everyone has more time and space to look back at the land where
we live. Travelling on the main island of Taiwan and many smaller outlying islands in
Taiwan is very popular, and it also al ows people taking more time to explore the
country. Themes related to Taiwan’s mountains, forests and marine culture have
extended in many exhibitions and innovations, the content is extremely interesting.
Immersive design experience and content digitisation are both developing trends.
Tips for PRs - how should PR practitioners cooperate with you? Apart from usual content cooperation, we are also keen on trying some crossover
col aborations. Any ideas are welcome!

On March 31, 2021, TCC Group and TCCGE announced the beginning of the operation of Taiwan’s First
AFC Smart Storage System with a capacity of 5MW, which is Taiwan’s first large-size energy storage
project.
TCC Chairman Nelson Chang states, "Everyone has only one nationality, Earth." In 2020, TCC joined
industry peers to support the Climate Ambition to deliver carbon neutral concrete products in 2050
announced by the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) and committed to lower carbon
footprint of cement and ready-mixed concrete (RMC) products. In recent years, TCC Group has been
amplifying efforts to build a circular economy and renewable energy instal ations. Combining the
technology and expertise of the two subsidiaries: TCC Green Energy (TCCGE) and E-Moli, TCC began
developing "energy creation" and "energy storage" for renewable energy sources. TCC's board of directors
recently passed the resolution to invest up to NT$10 bil ion (~US$350 million) to build a super battery
factory in Kaohsiung, the largest city in southern Taiwan.
In 2019, TCCGE unveiled Taiwan's first Solar-Wind Renewable Power Station using the most advanced
solar panels to enhance power generation and minimize the impact of the shaded area caused by the wind
power instal ation to optimize the use of the land and natural resources. On March 31, 2021, TCC Group
and TCCGE announced the beginning of the operation of Taiwan's First AFC Smart Storage System and
TCCGE Changbin Base with installation capacity of 5MW. The installation will be connected to the grid in
April 2021. This is Taiwan's first large-size energy storage project. Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) is a
system that provides automatic frequency control mechanism to stabilize renewable energy when
connected to the overall electricity grid. The system can prevent electricity service interruptions caused by
grid imbalance and improve electricity stability in Taiwan. TCCGE also has another project in southwestern
Taiwan that combines fishery with solar power generation. Furthermore, TCCGE is planning to build a
geothermal power station in eastern Taiwan within a demonstration park cal ed Hongye Valley that
combines power generation with local community rejuvenation through tourism and local shops.

E-Moli, a subsidiary of TCC Group, is Taiwan's largest lithium battery manufacturer and a main supplier of
batteries for major European and American high-end home appliance brands. In recent years, E-Moli has
been conducting R&D of high-power and high-capacity batteries to focus on high-power demand
applications such as wireless power tools, high-end wireless vacuum cleaners, new energy vehicles,
mobile medical devices, large-size energy storage systems and drones…etc.
TCC board of directors recently passed the resolution to invest up to NT$10 billion (~US$350 million) to set
up Taiwan's first super battery factory in Kaohsiung with the focus of manufacturing high-end, high-
capacity, and high-charge-discharge nickel ternary batteries. The planned capacity is 1.8GW, equivalent to
the volume of long-distance batteries needed for the annual production of 24,000 electric vehicles.
Currently, E-Moli's annual capacity of its Tainan plant is 1.5GW.
TCC Chairman Nelson Chang noted, "Mobile energy is the most important technological development for
the future and batteries plays a key role. The modern life is fil ed with various power outlets and our
imagination has been trapped by conventional power cords and connection technologies. With the
development of the super battery, in the future, there might be a chance to breakthrough these
conventional connectivity solutions to create infinite possibilities."

Kia ora,
Welcome to this week's Asia Digest.
As New Zealand's COVID-19 numbers decline, the nation has turned its attention to moving out of Level 3
restrictions, possibly as early as next week. Across Asia, governments and health authorities continue to
grapple with the virus to various degrees of success.
This week we hear from two Kiwis based in Asia on the local response, and provide some advice for kiwi
businesses hoping to break into the Asian market in the future.
Also this week, we look at the post-COVID world, where de-globalisation is the new keyword.
And we spotlight a clever new website for journalists, policy-makers, and the public, which brings together
the hundreds of COVID-19 policy documents and spreadsheets being generated by governments across
the globe...so you don't have to.
Ngā mihi,

For Taiwan-based Ron Hanson, the past loomed large when he heard of a new virus from Wuhan. Having
lived through Taiwan's shambolic response to SARS, his thoughts turned to how both Taiwan and New
Zealand would respond to this new threat. He has been heartened to see Taiwan has learnt many lessons
since SARS and this time round could be held up as a posterchild for its COVID-19 response.

Kia ora,
Today, we’re taking a closer look at the death of Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon with the help of doctoral
student Dylan Stent.
The popular mayor, with a stack of democratic credentials, faced allegations of sexual harassment before
his death and now Seoul’s political community is debating how public mourning should play out.
Stent suggests Park’s death raises uncomfortable truths for modern South Korea, namely around sexual
assault, misogynist behaviour, and suicide.
Alongside that, we look in on the governance of both the Philippines and Pakistan during COVID-19. Both
governments have faced criticism of their handling of the pandemic – what will be their next steps? And
how will it play out as people become more frustrated – or apathetic – in the wake of their leadership’s
decisions?
Here in New Zealand, the Centre for Asia Pacific Refugee Studies (CAPRS) celebrates its launch virtually
– check out the mahi they'l be looking at in the link below.
We’ve also got a selection of good reads for your Wednesday, including tension in the South China Sea
and Thailand's impressive hotel offer.
Enjoy, and we’ll be back with you next week.

The shocking announcement that popular Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon had apparently taken his own life
amid al egations of sexual harassment has rocked South Korea in the last few days. On the surface, Park
had an impressive resume as South Korea’s second most powerful official, but despite his democratic
credentials, doctoral student Dylan Stent suggests Park's death raises some uncomfortable truths for
modern South Korea.

The Philippines’ struggle with COVID-19 under Duterte
<https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail20.com/t/i-l-xkjxit-jlydhjurlk-h/>
From March 15 to May 31, the Philippines endured the longest community quarantine in the world in an
effort to contain a COVID-19 outbreak. This was longer than the 76-day lockdown in Wuhan, China, where
the global pandemic originated. Yet despite the lockdown, there have been no signs of declining infection
rates in the country, writes Andrea Chloe Wong.

Pakistan: A COVID study in dysfunction <https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail20.com/t/i-l-xkjxit-

Pakistan's response to the COVID crisis is being seen as a leap from crisis to crisis with the government of
Prime Minister Imran Khan doing little to contain the threat or the bad press its lack of directives are
receiving, writes Reem Wasay. Wasay is a previous Op-Ed Editor of The Daily Times, a secular newspaper
published in Pakistan.

Climate and conflict: New refugee research centre looks at Asia Pacific
<https://asianewzealandfoundationmedia.cmail20.com/t/i-l-xkjxit-jlydhjurlk-u/>
Year after year, conflict and climate change forces millions of people to flee their homes. People in Asia-
Pacific countries are more at risk of climate-induced displacement than most, but despite this, there’s a
lack of research centres looking at these urgent problems.

About six months into the COVID-19 pandemic, Cambodia has not been spared. Although the country has
appeared to succeed in control ing the spread of COVID-19 — with just 10 active patients and no reported
2
deaths as of July 8 — its economy is faltering. The World Bank has predicted that Cambodia’s economy
will register its slowest growth rate since 1994.

China is moving to change its Emergency Response Law after experts questioned the legality of blanket
lockdowns imposed earlier this year to control the spread of the coronavirus. The National People’s
Congress announced a plan to amend the law in its annual legislative work plan last month, fuelling
speculation that a formal draft may be released to the public by end of year.

"It’s no secret that I would have preferred New Zealand to stay at Alert Level Three for a little longer, just to
ensure that the gains we have made from Alert Levels Three and Four were locked in. I’m grateful we are
making a staggered move to Alert Level Two and that the sizes of gatherings will be limited initially.
"The government have clearly taken a pragmatic approach that is trying the balance the gains we have
made with keeping our ‘team of 5 million’ together. Now it’s up to each one of us to do all we can to
prevent us seeing a surge in cases in the coming weeks. That means working from home if we can. It
1
means staying home if we have even the slightest hint we are unwel and making arrangements to get a
test. It means keeping track of where we have been and who we have been with so that our contact tracers
can do their job if they need to. And it means limiting our hugs and kisses and keeping up with washing our
hands."

"The loosening of physical distancing rules wil be a welcome relief to many. But it’s important to realise
that when we’re counting cases today, we’re looking back in time at viral transmission that was occurring a
week or two ago. This means that we’ve not fully seen the impact of the change from Level 4 to Level 3 on
viral transmission, and that impact still won’t be completely visible by the time the country moves to Level
2. In particular, if there is still COVID-19 in circulation, people may soon be using public transport while
asymptomatic and unaware that they are infectious.
"A bus in winter is a closed environment that is perfect for transmitting viruses. It’s concerning that the
Government is not recommending that members of the public wear face coverings on public transport –
and even appears to be suggesting that mask wearing is a risky behaviour – when both experimental
evidence and the experience in many other countries indicates a useful protective effect. There are many
documented instances of COVID-19 spread on public transport and this setting has potential to be a weak
link in protecting the public from COVID-19 spread at Level 2. That’s a pity because the Level 2 restrictions
are in general balanced, appropriate, and well-designed to keep us safe."

"Be sensible and be careful. That's the take-home message from today’s announcement. The reward is a
return towards normality. The old reminders are stil there – keep gatherings smal , remain physical y
distant, stay home if you’re sick, and wash your hands. The actions that will reduce the spread of the virus
are the same ones your mum would approve of. So, get out there and get back to your lives, but just be
smart about it."

"The imminent move to alert level 2 this coming Thursday is what many tourism and hospitality businesses
have hoped for. The Prime Minister has effectively encouraged domestic movement as wel as supporting
local businesses.
"Although this is certainly good news for businesses, it is by no means an all-clear to engage in business
as usual.
"The remaining operational restrictions mean that businesses are not necessarily put in a position to
operate profitably. Depending on the site or product, social distancing protocols wil need to be such that
2
customers will use more space and/ or more staff time, or careful scheduling which likely reduces the
possible number of customers.
"Businesses will need to carefully assess their pricing structure to take into account the conflicting priorities
resulting from the desire to keep staff on and the business going, and the realities of what New Zealand
customers are willing and able to spend."

"Any technology solution must supplement manual contact tracing by trained individuals. Those are the
frontline of tracing. Technology wil serve as an additive system which can help to trace contacts quickly,
particularly where the person with a positive test may not know the contact details of a casual contents.
"Under level 2 we are still advised to decrease/minimise our casual contacts. Using mobile phones to
record everywhere you travel wil help contact tracing. The PM has asked us to record where we have
been. There are various technology solutions but al come with compromises. The easiest is probably
Google maps with location services turned on. You can see your locations in the “timeline”, but you are
sharing your data with Google. For those who want more control of their data Open Street Maps ( OsmAnd
Android <https://sciencemediacentre.us7.list-

plugin can be used. However, this would only allow the contact tracing to know where you were, but
critically not who was there at the same time. This is what the technology for tracing would help with.
"One significant issue is whether particular locations will be allowed to refuse entry to people who cannot
be traced, will there be a 'You must share your contact details to be let in' scenario. This could be
technology or simply a business card with a timestamp so that everyone in a location at a time can be
contacted.
"Speed of contact tracing is critical. The technology wil help with the speed of tracing.
"There are also questions around how individuals who have been in contact with a positive case should be
notified. What details are shared with them, what should be their next steps, etc.? Notifications should be
informative and helpful without causing panic, or compromising privacy of positive cases. The notification
process may be better handled outside the app by health professionals
"Any technology such as contact tracing must also move beyond a Eurocentric approach by adopting
kaupapa Māori technological models, frameworks and systems. Without such involvement, gaps may
continue to widen between Indigenous and Eurocentric approaches in regards to any meta-data capturing
techniques employment to manage such systems, and engagement with Indigenous communities."

"NZ is viewed by Taiwanese as one model example in Western world. So anything it has done would be
wel reported here and throughout Asia. I think the most important point is the 'incremental' approach as
this is also the approach used by Taiwan. Here the bars are suggested to be opened when they can
provide social distance and also have great cleaning procedures in place.
"Moving down to Level 2 would also signal that the situation in NZ is under great control, and this opens up
a big international business opportunity for overseas customers coming down to NZ. People here also think
that the adoption of the 'green passport' practice can be great as Asian customers can know that they
would be coming to a very safe and virus-free environment. I understand many people here cannot wait for
this practice.
"Also people keep asking when Air NZ can open up their Auckland-Taipei link again. They are wondering if
we can move up the opening earlier from 30 June 2020. Again a large amount of inquiries on this vital link.
Air NZ moves are viewed as symbols of NZ and its government. To have an earlier opening up not only
opens up huge opportunities but also suggests that NZ is a safe country and, most importantly, its
international reputation is lifted up dramatically throughout Asia and the World."

"The decision of the government to open the economy at this stage is pragmatic but with a warning about
reducing the size of socialising. This advisory is particularly significant, as the age group that is most
affected is also highly mobile, so there is a risk of new infections and clusters. This is because there is
some evidence that the virus is mutating rapidly (see here <https://sciencemediacentre.us7.list-
manage.com/track/click?u=fdc5316d8cbd7a248ee94eaeb&id=409a6f6770&e=090dc7cf1b> , where the
authors have shown that new mutations are conferring survival advantage to the virus and that it increases
their transmission potential); besides, new clusters and infections are known to recur after easing of
lockdown conditions (South Korea <https://sciencemediacentre.us7.list-
manage.com/track/click?u=fdc5316d8cbd7a248ee94eaeb&id=aad5f67c5e&e=090dc7cf1b> ; Singapore

manage.com/track/click?u=fdc5316d8cbd7a248ee94eaeb&id=0c7ec58dec&e=090dc7cf1b> ).
"However, between the time when the country moved from Level IV to Level III and now, the number of
new cases has continued to plummet, the number of tests have increased significantly and despite
increased number of tests, the number of new cases continue to remain low; likewise contact tracing
capacity of the country has also increased.
"Hence all things considered, given our levels of infections and low rates of new infection, the government
has taken a pragmatic decision today. The caveats issued are commendable, as we should take
precautionary measures (hand-washing, respiratory hygiene, wearing a mask while going outdoors, social
distancing/physical distancing, and limited interactions). Assuming that testing capacity will continue to
increase, as will be the capacity for contact tracing, and screening of asymptomatic people at more places.
These will help to keep the infection in control and control the emergence of new clusters and new
infections."

"The announcement of moving to Level 2 will bring a sense of relief for many. However, for a significant
number the return to work and school may bring about a return of worry and anxiety. Despite the obvious
downsides, Levels 3 & 4 did bring a sense of protection and security for some who suffer from anxiety. As
we emerge from the shadows of strict lockdown old fears about becoming unwell may reappear. Triggers
for anxiety that have lain dormant for weeks, such as the fear of social evaluation by others, may arise
again. For those with a history of anxiety and depression it wil be important to be on the lookout for the
return of these signs, remember how they’ve coped before, and seek help early.
"As we move to Level 2, we may see the emergence of stress and anxiety associated with the social and
economic consequences of the Covid-19 virus. Businesses may be lost, houses may need to be sold, help
may have to be sort when it was previously never needed. For those who have lost their jobs or significant
levels of income, breaking out of our bubbles may bring with it feelings of loss, shame, and guilt as we
come face-to-face with these harsh realities and have to front up to others. In these times the message of
being kind to one another, and being kind to ourselves – which can often be more difficult than being kind
to others – should not be lost."

"The first thing to do is acknowledge to yourselves and your children how wel you’ve done to get through
levels 3 and 4. It’s important to celebrate these achievements and to take credit for doing your part, so
model these behaviours to your children – it will help them learn a lifelong lesson about teamwork.
"The next is to remember that although the country is coming out of lockdown, things are not returning to
the ‘old normal’; instead they are heading to a ‘new normal’ for the coming months. So, this wil take some
preparation, some adjustment and then some care.
"Children feel safe and thrive in a predictable environment. So, as you may have done when we entered
lockdown, think about what the new family routines wil be. Are your children returning to school? If so, for
how long each day, how will they get there and what might be different at school? How will your work
routines change their time with you after school? Talk about these issues as a family and consider drawing
up a new family routine that you pin to the fridge, so that everyone knows what’s coming. Include both
necessary tasks and some fun ones. Try this out for a week and adjust it as required.
"Just as for adults, moving to level 2 is likely to result in different reactions for different children. Some wil
be thril ed to hang out with their friends, others wil be dreading going back to regular classes at school;
some will be dying to get back to sports, others will be anxious about catching COVID-19 after weeks of
staying away from people and relentlessly washing their hands. Let your children (and fel ow adults) know
that it is okay to feel whichever way they feel, but that it is also important to manage these feelings in order
to do the things you decide to do as a family over the coming weeks. Continue to check-in with them
regularly about how things are going and how they are feeling, but don’t dwel on them for too long or they
could increase worry.
"Most children would have experienced the joys and difficulties of returning to school after the long school
holidays. Some, particularly those with conditions like anxiety and autism spectrum disorder may
predictably take longer to settle into schooling routines. If this sounds like your child, think about what you
can do to help them settle into the new routine, rather than expecting them to manage the transition
unsupported. Some things that may help are paying a visit to school, starting with half days and having
some extra 1:1 time after school until their new routines have been established. Don’t forget to give them
time to play – both for fun and to release any stresses of the day (there is no age limit on this piece of
advice).
"Finally, if your child shows signs of struggling with adjustment to life at level 2, for instance, their mood or
behaviour deteriorates significantly, they regress (act like a younger version of themselves), and especial y
5
if you are concerned about their mental health or wel being, please talk with your GP or try to get some
help from a counsellor on 1737."

"From an employee wel -being point of view, we urge employers to consider their expectations at level two.
For those able to continue to work from home employers should engage in open conversations about
whether this can and should continue, and in what form it should take. There are health and safety issues
around workstations and workload, isolation and connection. These may have been pushed to one side
during lockdown, but cannot be ignored forever. Workplaces need to facilitate new arrangements for work.
This involves conversations and communication, compassion and understanding.
"From those who need to return to work, the workplace may feel different, physical distancing will still need
to be occur, face-to-face formal and informal meetings wil be more distanced. Expectations need to be set,
through discussion, and these have to be reinforced by the organisation. People need to be allowed to
worry, be respected, and be supported."

Physical spacing, adjusted work practices and hygiene are matters that al businesses wil have to take on
board in a new, serious way.
"There are other threats. Smal er 'rogue businesses' that do not belong to Employers Associations do not
always keep high health standards. If employer lobbying made it possible for these businesses to open,
will Associations also reach out in getting these non-member businesses working safely under Level 2?
"Secondly, Police worry about social mayhem, with bars and parties undermining the social distancing and
contact tracing that Level 2 depends on. Will employers step up and go the extra distance by helping
educate their employees? Although it is outside work-hours, it is like discouraging drink-driving, it is part of
shared social responsibility.
"Employer associations have done an excel ent job with resourcing and supporting their members who are
generally 'good businesses'. A pandemic is a new scene though, with new demands, and everyone has to
go outside their normal roles for Level 2 to succeed. Employers and their associations should step out in
new ways, and be leaders in making this happen."

Kia ora,
In 2023 there will be more Asian New Zealanders than Māori in New Zealand – what impact wil that have?
AMC sits down with distingushed Professor Paul Spooney, to discuss the implications of the growing Asian
diaspora in Aotearoa.
This week we have two stories about LGBTI+ people in Asia: one of them will make you smile (spoiler
alert: it's Pride season in Vietnam), the other looks at a controversial decision by Philippine President
Rodrigo Duterte to pardon a US Marine found guilty of murdering a transgender woman.
Submissions are open to the New Zealand Parliament Select Committee about National MP Nikki Kaye's
second language bill, and we chat to teachers about the pros and cons of adding Asian languages into the
mix.
Don't forget to check out our upcoming media training too!

If schools can choose from a list of 10 “priority” languages to teach primary and intermediate students,
should widely-spoken Asian languages (such as Mandarin and Hindi) be some of them? AMC talks to
some expert educators about the benefits of becoming bilingual or multilingual.

Hanoi Pride was a digital affair this year because of Covid, yet the messaging remains strong: young
Vietnamese LGBTI+ people are to be celebrated. New Zealand ambassador to Vietnam, Wendy Matthews,

New Zealand slump a red alert for world economy | Nikkei Asian Review

With the announcement that New Zealand is in an economic recession last week, Nikkei Asian Review
looks at our nation's trajectory when it comes to tourism and trade and wonders. In journalist Wil iam
Pesek's opinion, the New Zealand Government's statement that the worst is over (and we may come out of
this recession faster than our developed-economy peers) is wrong.

Thailand is reopening its borders for visitors who want to stay up to nine months, subject to a two-week

stay remote workers to temporarily move to a beachside resort and continue working from their laptops.
