john luke made this Official Information request to Arts Council of New Zealand Toi Aotearoa
The request was successful.
From: john luke
Dear Arts Council of New Zealand Toi Aotearoa,
I noted: https://dpmc.govt.nz/honours/lists/ny202...
For services to Tongan and Pacific communities
Mr Sefita Hao’uli has been influential in the development of Pacific broadcasting in New Zealand for more than 30 years.
Mr Hao’uli became a journalist in the 1980s, where he was instrumental in the formation of a community trust to take ownership of the Pacific radio frequency. He served as Chair and led the radio station to become familiar amongst the community, providing information on Pacific Island affairs. Radio station 531pi was launched, broadcasting 24-hours on air, a change from four hours a week. He was instrumental in the launch of a Tongan language newspaper and managed the relationship between the 2,000 Tongan workers under the Recognised Seasonal Employer scheme and the Tongan government for 12 years. He was Chairman of the Pacific Island Committee of Creative New Zealand, Board member of the Arts Board with Creative New Zealand and a member of the Minister for Pacific Peoples Advisory Council. He has been a key mentor and leader in the Pacific community, helping lead, provide advice and mobilise initiatives to improve the lives of Tongans and the wider Pacific communities. Mr Hao’uli was recognised as the 2021 Tonga Language Champion and received a Special Recognition Award from the New Zealand Tonga Business Council for his dedicated years of service.
Can you please let me know what is the term of reference of your "Arts Board" with Creative New Zealand. Also who sit on the art board besides Mr Sefita. The pay rate of your board member.
Yours faithfully,
john luke
