Podcast appearances and mentions of dawn raids

A free one-day festival born out of the government's apology for the Dawn Raids is taking place at Te Pou Theatre and Corban Estate Arts Centre in Henderson next Saturday.

Oscar Kightley has been a journalist, an author, and an actor - but he's also an acclaimed playwright. He's the writer behind Dawn Raids, a play he wrote in the late 1990s exploring the horror of the raids targeting Pasifika overstayers in the 1970s. But 27 years later, the show has never been staged in the capital. That finally changes this week when Dawn Raids will be staged for two nights at the Wellington Opera House by the Pasifika theatre collective Pacifc Underground. Kightley joined Nick Mills to discuss the show, his memories of the 1970s, and the incredible story behind how he arranged for King Charles to appear on one of his best-known projects Bro'Town.

In Wellington this month and next, a series of public programmes mark the 50th year of the Dawn Raids. In this episode of Here Now Kadambari Raghukumar talks to artist Liana Leiataua and Pacific historian Rachel Yates Pahulu around their thoughts and experiences of events of the 70s that inform their work. 

In this episode, we look at what is driving the increase in dawn raids across the UK, EU and US, and what organisations can do to best prepare.

Vitale Lafaele has lived a life of challenges, adversity, and bravery.   Arriving in Auckland from Samoa during the 1970s Dawn Raids era, his childhood was characterised by poverty, discrimination, and bullying.   Lafaele told Jack Tame that he would never take back the hard times, and that it taught him a lot about life.  He served for seven years in the New Zealand army and the Police for 30. Lafaele was the first Samoan to gain the command of an area in New Zealand and the first Polynesian to reach the top level in any of Auckland's three metropolitan police districts.   He's told his extraordinary journey in his book ‘A Canoe Before the Wind'.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dawn raids are back on the political agenda with the release of an independent review urging the government to ban or restrict them. Many people might have assumed that the issue had been put to bed when former prime minister Jacinda Ardern apologised for the historical practice back in 2021. But the review found they never stopped, and no ban was put in place. One person who understands the subject from both a political and cultural vantage is Acting Prime Minister Carmel Sepuloni. Sepuloni spoke to Corin Dann.

A Pacific community leader wants the government to fast track law changes to ban immigration dawn-raids. An independent report is calling for a ban or restrictions on arresting overstayers in their homes either late at night or early in the morning. It says the government's apology two years ago for the traumatic raids of the 1970s rings hollow in light of the failure to tighten the rules. RNZ reporter Lucy Xia has more.

Questions are being raised on whether the Government will consider the recommendations of a review into dawn-raid style tactics. An independent probe into the practice is calling on the Government to consider banning it for residential addresses, while urging officials to only use out-of-hours visits as a last resort. Jacinda Ardern apologised two years ago to Pacific people for historic Dawn Raids in the 1970s. Immigration lawyer Aaron Martin told Mike Hosking there's been no further changes since then and it's left people scratching their heads. He questions the reason for the apology and spending tax-payer money on a review if no changes are going to be made. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Immigration officials aren't committing to an all-out ban on out-of-hours compliance visits to suspected overstayers. Authors of an independent review of Dawn Raids-style visits say the Government should consider banning or restricting the practice. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment's chief executive says such visits are very rare. But Carolyn Tremain says they're looking at the report's recommendations. "And we'll be updating our standard procedures and operating procedures and guidelines for our compliance officers." LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A review is suggesting the Government consider outlawing dawn raids. The investigation led by lawyer Michael Heron, KC was prompted by revelations that after-hours visits continued. Recommendations include ensuring the raids are a last resort - and considering those impacted, like children and the elderly. ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says these dawn raid tactics are inhumane and he agrees changes should be made to immigration law.

New dawn raid stats: Pacific community leader is 'appalled'.

MBIE have announced a review will be held into out of hours compliance visits carried out by Immigration NZ. The head of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment says there will be a pause on visits by immigration officers following concerns raised by the Pacific community. MBIE CEO Carolyn Tremain says the Pacific community and several ministers have voiced feedback about the recent actions of Immigration NZ. "They feel the actions of Immigration New Zealand during out-of-hours deportation visits is inconsistent with what is expected by the community."

The Pasifika community in Aotearoa left "traumatised" after revelation dawn raids tactics are still being used.

A Pacific leader says his community has been betrayed by the government's ongoing use of dawn raid tactics. Officials have confirmed they still carry out dawn raids to arrest overstayers, following the detention of a man in South Auckland. The Immigration Minister says these 'after hours' measures are rare and only taken when absolutely necessary. It is of little comfort to at least one Pasifika leader, who says his community want dawn raids consigned to the history books for good. Anei te kai ripoata a Anneke Smith.

Tongan community leader is 'appalled' and 'disgusted' at the revelation the NZ government still conducts dawn raids.

An original member of the Polynesian Panthers says she's not surprised the dawn raid tactic is still being used. Immigration New Zealand's confirmed it has had eighteen interactions during night-time hours in the past ten months. That's despite the Government apologising two years ago for the infamous dawn raids in the 1970s. Melani Anae says this aligns with what she's been hearing. "Well, I've heard accounts from various sources that dawn raids had been going on- they haven't stopped actually since the 1970s." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Associate Immigration Minister is assessing an immigration decision to detain a Pasifika man in a dawn raid who's accused of overstaying his visa. Police knocked on the man's door at 5am, scaring his wife and children, before taking him into custody. Almost two years ago the government apologised for the dawn raids of the 1970s, saying it was a discriminatory implementation of immigration laws. The Prime Minister, Chris Hipkins, says he's concerned and he doesn't expect dawn raid tactics to be used anymore. But Immigation New Zealand has admitted they still do dawn raids to arrest overstayers and there've been about 18 such arrests between July and April this year. Hipkins is flying to the United Kingdom today for the King's Coronation, but in his place deputy prime minister, Carmel Sepuloni spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Over the past several years, cartel enforcement actions appear to have been on the decline. Despite this, antitrust enforcers have made clear that they have no intention to ease up enforcement efforts and, in fact, have indicated a renewed commitment to aggressive enforcement – as illustrated by a recent spike in dawn raids, including of private homes, in Europe and several initiatives by the Biden Administration in the US. In this latest episode of our Essential Antitrust podcast our host Jenn Mellott is joined by Ramya Arnold, senior associate in London, Dominic Divivier, senior associate in Duesseldorf, and Angela Landry, counsel in Washington DC and Silicon Valley, to discuss what enforcers in Europe and the US are focused on in their pursuits.

In the early 1970s, New Zealand's government cracked down on Polynesian migrants who had overstayed their work permits. They carried out what became known as the Dawn Raids, when police raided Polynesian households in the early hours of the morning looking for overstayers. The Polynesian community felt targeted and formed a resistance group, the Polynesian Panthers, in June 1971. Ben Henderson spoke to founding member, Melani Anae.

A quarter of a century after its premiere, Oscar Kightley's play Dawn Raids - dealing with the injustice of the 1970's government crackdown on overstayers - is being reimagined. The incident was still a raw, shameful memory when Dawn Raids was first performed in 1997. But now for many it's become a piece of our history. They may have barely heard of these events. Even if they have, they may not realise the damage done to Pasifika families who were ripped apart by the early morning raids on their homes. Lynn Freeman talks with Troy Tu'ua, director of the new ATC production of Dawn Raids. She first asked him how much he knew of the original raids. Dawn Raids opens at the ASB Waterfront Theatre in Tamaki Makaurau on August 16th.

In this talk, Melani Anae, Associate Professor in Pacific Studies at the University of Auckland discusses aspects of her recent book, The Platform: the radical legacy of the Polynesian Panthers. In the book she writes, ‘Fifty years ago the Polynesian Panther Party began to shine a light on racism and oppressive systems, and we made small changes. But these small changes were and are so much greater than the sum of their parts; they are writ large by the liberating education some of us are still involved in and the snowballing effect it has.' The book is both deeply personal and highly political and recalls the radical activism of Auckland's Polynesian Panthers. In solidarity with the US Black Panther Party, the Polynesian Panthers were founded in response to the racist treatment of Pacific Islanders in the era of the Dawn Raids. Central to the group's philosophy was a three-point ‘platform' of peaceful resistance, Pacific empowerment and educating New Zealand about persistent and systemic racism.
