Settlement Support for newcomers, refugees and expats

A friend of mine have recently relocated back to China, after living here in New Zealand for about 10 years. Everyday, I get to hear how much pain she is in and how depressed she is. She relocated because her parents want to spend more time with her. And she wanted to do so. She just cannot adapt to the long working hours, poor pay, working culture and the temperature of China.

One of my past life is working as the Settlement Support Coordinator for the Auckland Regional Migrant Services, who is turning 10 on 11th December 2012. ARMS have settled over thousands of newcomers, the technical and proper word for new migrants who have lived in New Zealand for less than 3 years, and new refugees who have lived in New Zealand for less than 5. Only in the last couple of years, Immigration/Department of Labour have also added Expat New Zealanders, due to the economic downturn and the number of Kiwis coming back to New Zealand.

Settlement Support New Zealand

It is not easy job to settle for Kiwis who have been away for many years. ARMS didn’t have a programme for expats. The employment programme is aimed to help new migrants and refugees on how to find jobs in New Zealand. Expats don’t really need that. Nor they can get the mentorship they needed to resettle in New Zealand. Whilst some people say that Kiwis discriminate migrants, some of them also discriminated Kiwis and turned them down because “they have no New Zealand experiences”.

That always make me question – if Kiwi employers are worried about cultural conflicts, why were they worried that Kiwi expats cannot fit into the company’s culture? Or was it just a blanket policy to ban people who have no Kiwi experiences? And how do they ever get Kiwi experiences? It has always been a Catch-22 situation.

I’ve told my friend in China to learn how to settle in the ‘new’ country. She has family and friends there and if she could settle in New Zealand without an English language skills when she first arrived, I am sure she can resettle back in China. A tough time, I know. I had cultural shock when I first started work at ARMS. However I have faith that she can get past it and settle well.

I hope all newcomers, and expats, can enjoy a fantastic Kiwi Christmas this year and get to relax and enjoy some sun. Much needed summer holidays!

Tena koutou Nga tangata Hou!

I was at an event recently where the national anthem was played, and it is very embarrassing to say that none of the New Zealand Pakeha VIPs there were able to sing the Te Reo version of our national anthem. They ended up singing the anthem, in English, twice.

Korean Day 2012 - Drawing competition - Maori and Korean girl doing a hongi

As regular reader of my blog, you would be aware of my interest in promoting closer relationships between tangata whenua and the ethnic community. There are many similarities between both communities, culturally, the tikanga, kaupapa, and more. Maori, as well as the ethnic communities, are about tupuna as well as mokopuna.

Both the ethnic communities and tangata whenua needs to have more korero, dialogue, to make sure that there are interactions. It is important, not only because of the similarities, but also as a respect. Ethnic communities need to respect those who are the guardians, the people of the land; and for Maori communities to respect the wisdom and the contributions ethnic communities bring to Aotearoa, as the host.

It is also important that the people acknowledged ethnic communities have lived here pre-Treaty. The Chinese were here and because they were simply acknowledged as “aliens”, they are not part of the Treaty. On the other hands, Indians were considered as British Subjects because of their association with the British settlers. Therefore, this is a part in the history where Chinese were never acknowledged and fitted in Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

I have raised this question before – why newcomers to New Zealand must be fluent in English but there is nothing to say they need to learn Te Reo? I am no where close to being fluent, and I don’t believe we should all be forced to be fluent in Te Reo, however, isn’t this a respect, that we learn some te Reo?

The answers I get is – Oh, English is the most widely spoken common language. Of course it is, and so it should. However, if English, te Reo, and sign language are all official language of New Zealand, why shouldn’t newcomers have some initiatives to learn te Reo?

Not only that there is a lack of language learning, but no newcomers have any proper introductions to Maori culture. Most of us see the “singing and dancing Maori” (as I call them), and all they know about Maori is the haka, the tattoos, the crime rates… We need interactions between Maori and the ethnic communities.

I was absolutely moved when Ngati Whatua o Orakei won the Maori Business Recognition Award 2012 at the Aotearoa New Zealand Maori Business Leaders Awards. I have worked with them for many years and they have always been very welcoming and understanding of the newcomers. They make sure that newcomers are welcome and understand their culture and history in a very simple to understand way. They are also very aware of any cultural or religious needs and will provide halal catering where needed.

The ethnic communities are also working very hard to engage with tangata whenua. There is a large number of ethnic students who study te Reo at Unitec, and if you haven’t heard by now, Nga Tangata Hou, a kapa hapa group made up of only ethnic communities. (Yes there is an American in a group – he is still considered as “ethnic” in New Zealand as long as he is not considering himself as New Zealand Pakeha)

Nga tangata Hou is open to all New Zealanders who love waiata. They practice weekly and is a great place to engage with tangata whenua, and a great way to “show off” to the mainstream community, how much they know about Maori tikanga.

Prejudicism, racism, and assumptions live in everyone of us

Assumptions are human nature. We make assumptions of people based on our learnt experiences. This helps us to identify who are our friends, who are our enemies, and how we may approach strangers.

I work everyday with communities who talks about racism. Most racism is based on assumptions about people of a certain phenotype – that is, how they looked.

There is the old saying “judge a book by its cover”. We judge people, not only race, but many different ways, depending on how they look. We judge whether someone is wealthy, poor, young, old, sporty, casual, professional, etc, based on how they look. So it is not strange if we judge people by how they look.

Of course, racism is more than just how they look – it is also about how their name is spelt, how they speak, their accents, and more.

"We're a culture, not a costume" by Students Teaching Against Racism in Society, an Ohio University student group.

We know there are a lot of discussion about racism against the ethnic community – institutional racism, names calling, the list goes on. What have been really disturbing for me recently is the racism from the ethnic communities against each other and against the Caucasian community.

I had a White South African guy who said, in a meeting with other ethnic representatives that the Chinese has too much. During break time, asked how my work with the Chinese community is – simply because I am Chinese. This comment was made, despite the fact that I mentioned my work at the Council represent pan-ethnic.

In other meetings, I keep hearing my colleagues from the ethnic communities make these discriminatory comments about the “white people”; saying that white people don’t know our needs; the old White men go and take young Asian brides and be treated like a King, etc etc.

Being openly racist is not okay – and all of us that works with the ethnic community understand this. So why did anyone think it is okay to make racist comments about other people from the ethnic communities or the Caucasian community – just because we are “victims” of racism?

It is about time that we stop this ridiculous practice – against each other regardless of race, age, gender and more.

非常给力的新西兰访问

从香港远道而来的Global Exchange In Leadership Initiatives (GEILI) 于4月2日到11日到了奥克兰做了有关世界公民和社会企业的访问。

 

有如其名，GEILI希望「给力」给香港年青人一个平台，让世界不同的青年组织交换有关文化和志愿工作，并让希望建立非政府机构或社会企业的年青人能得到不同的学习机会、经济支援和全球青年领袖的网络。

 

GEILI in Auckland

这次到访新西兰是希望亲身感受本国丰富多元文化并帮助青年领袖与新西兰的机构连接，从而发掘和发展商机。

 

这次和GEILI的创办人李家麟和秘书长何文彦带同四个青年领袖前来。在本地的华裔青年团体Future Dragonz与同样来自香港的奥克兰市政府种族事务顾问小组成员庄家欣协助下与社会、商界和政界不同人士碰面。

 

他们第一天参观了Orakei Marae，由Ngati Whatua的Dane Tumahai代表欢迎他们到达奥克兰。Tumahai讲说了很多有关毛利的文化、历史和语言，大家对于毛利人和华人的文化之间的相似度感到非常诧异却熟悉。Tumahai 对于可以迎接这一群优秀的年青领袖也感觉非常荣幸，希望可他们可以把在新西兰学到的带回香港，为两个之间的关系做更大的贡献。

 

接着几天他们与不同的创意工业人士、萨摩亚学者、香港新西兰商会代表、新西兰亚洲学院、孔子学院等人士碰面和交流。他们也到了Waterfront Auckland聆听了市政府对于海滨发展等的计划，惊觉奥克兰和香港两地的海滨计划有着很多相同之处，也让其中几个成员发掘投资的机会。

 

当天一团人到市政厅和奥克兰市长林·布朗闲谈。布朗对于他们非常有兴趣，问了很多不同的问题。更巧的是其中四人与布朗坐同一班飞机到广州，市长在飞机上跟他们继续喋喋不休，还相约了其中几人在香港的时候一同饮茶。

 

市长表示奥克兰目前的焦点在儿童和青少年、绿色城市发展和创业工业上，对于他们的到访时间非常吻合，因为大家有着同样的价值观和抱负。希望这次的交流能让大家正真的为香港和奥克兰两地做出进一步的发展。

 

青年团也参与了纽西兰华联会的年度全国体育大会，当天有超过几百人从全国不同地方聚集在奥克兰，让GEILI各位大开眼界。他们与种族事务部部长Judith Collins和种族事务国会私人秘书Melissa Lee闲聊，对于可以和这么重要的政治人物见面觉得是一种荣幸，也感受到本国政府对于华裔和种族事务的重要性。

 

其中一名参加者，陈詠恩对这次的活动发表了一段非常值得细味的感想：「大约9日的新西兰之旅，大部分的时间都被安排跟不同的社会企业的领袖会面，交流各自对社会企业的见解及理想。作为将届毕业的我，能在踏足社会前接收到不同的概念及思想价值，对将来的思考分析力，确有莫大裨益。在从商理念的收获固然丰富，但最令我反思及赞叹的却是奥克兰人的谦恭之心。奥克兰市内拥有超过200个不同的种族文化，但当你踏足这片土地的一刻，却自然的感到一份和谐、一份打从内心的宁静。我们有幸跟不同文化背景的人民交流，却发现他们每一群人都努力保留自己的风俗，希望得以延续，然而，亦积极融入奥克兰本土的文化。你也许会感到好奇，怎么这小小的城市没有多一点激烈的纷争？ 「尊重每一个人」大概是奥克兰市长以及每位新西兰人的座右铭。当我回到自己的家，看到每日的新闻报导，问题油然而生：怎么一个比新西兰更细小的地方，会有如此多的示威与不满，会有如此多的投诉及谩骂。
其实人的生活要求好简单，我们只想要一个「安乐窝」！」

 

GEILI in Auckland 2012

本地的年青人也跟他们做出交流。他们对新西兰的好奇、大家的交流、女孩子之间的闲聊、对于何家惠的身体和视觉残疾却对生命不屈不挠和开朗的精神非常敬佩。何道：「生活在大城市的我，很少接触大自然。这次到纽西兰，我呼吸到清新的空气，从起床到晚上，耳朵总会听到鸟儿的叫声… 虽然不能用眼睛看片这美丽的城市，但耳朵听见的，鼻子臭到的，手指所摸到的，这一切的感觉都告诉我这是一个美丽的地方。」

 

李家麟对于这次的旅程十分打开眼界：「GEILI奥克兰考察团汇聚了香港和新西兰来自各界的青年代表，探讨华人文化和社会企业的发展。最深的印象是在Easter Tournament的少儿舞龙舞狮表演，感受到令人眼前一亮的新华人文化，和西方文化融合并具有活力的新西兰多元文化。与巿长Len Brown会面和参观Waterfront 项目看见了奥克兰是充满活力的国际都市，将会成为融合全球文化的世界之都，也是国际的模范。这次协助筹办活动的青年代表Bevan和Future Dragonz的行动力和成就，令我印象深刻，看到新西兰拥有得天独厚的天然和人文资源，并且结合了政府的开放和优秀的青年人材，在国际上具有绝对的优势。 」

 

何文彦表示：「九天的交流确实让香港代表团大开眼界。奥克兰文化共融以及在地华人朋友专业又好客的接待和安排，实为新西兰和香港造就不少合作契机；吸引海外朋友探索更多之余，更持续了我们带领各地朋友扩展新西兰的交流网络，相互学习，为所住城市共谋更美好将来。」

 

虽然交流很重要，但更重要的好好感受奥克兰的怡人景色。凑巧天公作美，几乎每天都阳光普照。美丽的风景、温暖的天气和和蔼的人们让各位离开时都依依不舍，甚至想留下来找工作，开玩笑的说要请市长当推荐人呢！

 

举办者希望这次的交流不但为香港的客人认识到新西兰美丽的人文文化，也希望本地的青年华裔人也踊跃参与不同的社会企业和志愿团体，促进世界公民活动，密切关注和合力改变世界上不平等的情况、了解不公平和贫穷等成因。也希望经过这次的活动我们能有更多从两地三岸前来奥克兰交流的年青人。

Hong Kong and New Zealand Relationships

Hong Kong’s relationship with New Zealand was further strengthened with the visit of Donald Tsang, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong SAR.

His visit, and Carrie Lam’s attendance at the Sea Edge symposium, were not only important for the diplomatic relationships, but also important to myself as a Hong Kong Chinese New Zealander.

Earlier this month, myself and my friends from Future Dragonz, hosted a group of young leaders from GEILI. This is important for me because I am passionate with young social entrepreneurs. I believe in GEILI’s idea on supporting young social entrepreneurs and connecting them with different leaders.

Whilst Hong Kong’s trade with New Zealand was increased by 11% for 2011, Hong Kong has slipped from 9th to 12th as trading partners. While Hong Kong remains as an important region for trading activities in Asia, China has surpass this importance in New Zealand.

There are a lot of great reasons why New Zealand should do business with Hong Kong. Hong Kong is not only a gateway to Asia, it also shares a lot of similarities. English is still the preferred language for businesses; the legislation are very similar; and it still have a strong sense of commonwealth which means it is not difficult for any Kiwis to settle there. Even the waterfront development, there were so many similarities as well!

Hong Kongers are great at making money. There are not many regions in the world where the government’s major challenge is how to spend the surplus.

I urge everyone to come look at business opportunities between Hong Kong and New Zealand. Start with the Hong Kong Festival if you are interested!

Ethnicity, Employment, Opportunities

Yesterday, Wednesday 28 March 2012, the Future Dragonz, a group organised a panel discussion at the University of Auckland called “White or Wong? Unlocking the bamboo door”. It is a panel discussion about whether ethnicity plays a role in employment – that is, does ethnicity makes it harder to get a job in New Zealand?

Future Dragonz has successfully launched the Panel Discussion with a lot of media interests, including the Sunday Star Times and Close Up on TV1. This discussion about ethnicity and employment is an age-old story. It was on Campbell Live two years ago when a migrant job seeker went to Campbell Live to say that a speaker at one of the workshop by the Auckland Regional Migrant Services told them to change their names if they wanted a job in New Zealand.

At the Ethnic Panel meetings, we acknowledged that institutional racism exist in New Zealand and we need to take actions. The Huma Rights Commission raised the same issue with their Annual Review of Race Relations 2011. We know that many employers do not employ people who they think will have a difficulty fitting into their work culture; and many employers, either racist or just naive, would choose not to employ someone with an ethnic background regardless of how long they have lived in New Zealand. They are worried they won’t fit in.

Nonetheless, I have personally dealt with Kiwi expats who have worked overseas for many years and return to new Zealand without a job. Without a job not by choice, but with New Zealand employers telling them that they do not have New Zealand experiences.

Today’s world is harder, harder to find employment due to economic downturn. There are simply less money floating around. My advice to the migrant clients I used to work with is, the employer is paying to do this job, like it or not, they have the power. You wanted a job, and irrespective of your ethnicity, you should promote yourself to them so they will employ you.

While ethnicity plays a role, nothing is more important than your attitude and your abilities to show them why you are the best candidate. If the company is racist, for example, changing your name won’t change anything. At the end of the day, you will be there and they will see you. You can’t hide your ethnic looks from the employers.

We need action plans. We need to let the employers know why you should be employed. By 2020, more than 50% of Aucklanders are non-New Zealand European (and let’s not get into this definition for now). If employers need to meet their needs, that is, have employees to create their wealth, they simplyhave to employ those who aren’t New Zealand Europeans. It’s not their choice. As a matter of fact, they have no choice. There is simply no supply to meet your demand. I think this is quite a simple economic theory?

For us, ethnic people, demonstrate to them why you are good and take away that ethnicity factor. I think our ethnicity are advantages; the abilities to speak different languages and maybe a great understanding of the country of origin, etc. Deep down it is still about your skills, experiences and personalities. I know, personally, I cannot be takeaway owner because I can’t cook. Yes I have the ethnic profile to do it (yeah, all Chinese have a takeaway shop or something), but I don’t have the skills to fulfill the role. Demonstrate to the world why you are amazing, and let your ethnicity and culture adds to your existing  amazing qualities.

Creating dreams with dreams!

Follow your dreams! An aspirational saying. What is your dream? What do you want to do? How are you going to acheive and follow your dream?

I have been thinking about dreams. My dream is to help young people realise their dreams.

Young people have a lot dreams. Young people needs to have dreams. And thee dreams need to have an opportunity to become a reality. Or they will just be dreams and nothing else.

In the last few months, I have been hearing stories where young people have dreams but not able to turn them into reality. Ethnic youth dreamt about their lives here in paradise, and because their parents may not share their dreams, or that the society did not give them an opportunity to realise their dreams, they stayed just as dreams.

Young people wanted to be given an opportunity to do what they wanted to do. Do music, practice arts, be an astronaut…

Virgin United, a charitable organisation by Richard Brandson says “Virgin Unite connects amazing people and great ideas to make positive change happen in the world.” For me, it is about how I can connects all the dream makers and great dreams to make positive change happen in the world.

My dream is to help ethnic arists in Auckland realie their dreams. Give them an opportunity to showcase their art. Let the mainstream realise how amazing ethnic arts can be. Ethnic arts doe not have to be traditional. Ethnic arts can be contemporary, amazing and also attracts the mainstream.

My dream is to make other dreams come true. Showing them what positive changes they can make to the world, or at least to Auckland. It is my dream to give ethnic youth an opportunity to showcase their talents.

Please help me make this dream come true!!

The Ethnic Peoples Advisory Panel – One Year On

The Ethnic peoples' Advisory Panel, Chief Executive Doug McKay, and Mayor Len Brown

1st March 2012 marks the first anniversary of the establishment of the Ethnic Peoples Advisory Panel and the Pacific Peoples Advisory Panel for the Auckland Council. Under the Local Government (Auckland Law Reform) Bill, the Panels were established to make sure that the voice of the Ethnic and Pacific communities be heard. With the help of the Office of Ethnic Affairs and Ministry of Pacific Islands Affairs, 12 and 13 people were selected respectively, and appointed by the Mayor. The 25 people do not represents specific ethnic communities, and they are chosen for their skills, knowledge, connections and abilities to offer unbiased strategic and governance.

The Panels are to provide advice to the Council and Mayor on issues related to the ethnic and Pacific communities, from economic development, social development, youth, engagement, and policies. They do not have decision making powers and these positions are not paid. The Panels meet monthly and have hosted additional hui where necessary. Annual reviews take place to advice the Council and the government on how it has operated and provide advice on future developments.

The Panels are delighted to be invited to various ethnic events and in the recent months, the different Chinese New Year events across town and organisations, Indian festivals and the Japan Day. This allowed the Panel to engage with the communities and reassured them with our presence.

2012 marks the 40th anniversary of the diplomatic relationships between China and New Zealand; and the 50th anniversary of the diplomatic relationships between Japan and New Zealand. Members of the Ethnic Panel attended the launch of the NZ Inc China Strategy by New Zealand government recently. China is now the second largest trading partner with New Zealand, behind Australia. Trading between primary resources and people are equally important.

The Mayor will be visiting China in April to further strengthen the relationships between cities. Various New Zealand sectors are increasingly aware of the Chinese presence here locally and are exploring how business opportunities could be further developed.

The relationship between different communities in Auckland and overseas will continue to grow. Better understanding between both places are increasingly important for both social and economic development. As the youngest member of the Panel, I am honoured to have this opportunity to partake in this historical milestone for Auckland and New Zealand.

*Disclaimer: the view expressed here is my own personal view and does not represents those of the Panel, the Auckland Council or the government.

Social Support or Social Dependance? A view on a recent story.

The Herald have published a story yesterday about a single mother living in Pukekehoe decided to go into prostitution to help support her studies, so she can get out of benefits. The Herald found that with her current support from Work and Income it is not sufficient to give her with childcare and study needs. She would still have a shortfall every week.

Tania Wysocki

Today, a follow up story quoting Associate Social Development Minister Chester Borrows said she is currently receiving $43,000 benefit per year. This, as Mr Borrows says, should be reasonable, if not sufficient.

Of course Ms Wysocki thinks otherwise. Single mother of two who is going into full time study is not going to have enough money to pay for everyday things such as childcare and child support, rental, etc.

This story caused an uproar early in the morning within the Weibo community. I got up checking my Weibo hoping to see some stories about Henry Tang (唐英年) and his (failing) campaign to become the next Chief Executive of Hong Kong. Not expecting people commenting about Ms Wysocki’s case.

It is perhaps a very foreign concept in China. Social support in Asian communities are very rare, and applying for any social benefit is considered shameful. Increasingly this has changed in places like Hong Kong where beneficiaries were found to be scammers.

She is a single mother who wanted to go back to study. Yes, the Chinese community thinks she should and yes she should get supported. $43,000 a year? Not so sure. Undoubtedly there are many single mother, and father, out there who is working very hard to support their families, for less than $43,000.

Chinese will never understand why a government gives out so much benefits to their people. Chinese think New Zealand is a country of dependencies. People literally sit on their bums and do nothing. Is New Zealand creating a society of dependencies, where people chooses to stop working and sit there and grow fat?

Are we giving her special treatment because she is a single mother who will go into prostitution and she made herself public on newspaper? What about the many other single mother out there who are not getting supported? Would this now opened a can of worms for more people asking for their rights?

I have no answers to any of these and being brought up in a pseudo-single parenthood family, support is important, but it is the level of support that seems to be the debate here. How much more money can she get from working as a sex worker? She would probably get more now having nationally advertised her story.

One said too me on Weibo that perhaps the government need to look at strategic and constructive ways to help support single parents who have needs, instead of just giving hands out. This could create unfairness and dependencies  and stop motivating people to work hard to get what they want and need.

I do believe that working hard to get what you want and where you want should be the goal one wants to achieve. Not sitting around waiting for luck to come upon you.

I ♥ New Zealand, and I ♥ Hong Kong too

“Migrants’ hearts remain in China, study finds” says NZ Herald. A research found 94.5 per cent stated the were Chinese/Taiwanese/Hong Konger, while only 5.5 per cent said they somehow felt they belonged to both New Zealand and their country of origin. There is also a growing number of younger migrants are more attracted to their homeland identity than those aged 45 and over.

This is surprising for the researchers who think the older Chinese would be more conservative.

I am not surprised with the results. As a 1.5 generation Hong Kong Chinese New Zealander, it took me years to feel comfortable with both identity. I often still get the “Oh you speak good English”, and “how long have you been here?” stuff. Why can’t New Zealanders see me as New Zealander? And when I was in Hong Kong, I had the “oh you speak good Cantonese”, or “you have an HK ID Card?” stuff.

I have finally become more comfortable going back to HK in recent years as Hong Konger, after many of years of trying to integrate into New Zealand and be branded as New Zealander.

As I blogged yesterday, there are more to Chinese than festivals and food. We don’t have a lot of different needs because I look different. I have the basic needs such as food, shelter and love.

Sometimes I also relate better with my Chinese counterparts. For those of us who live overseas, we work harder to keep our culture and believes. We also share what’s back home. And with what happened to me in recent weeks, I have had a lot more support from my Chinese friends.

New Zealand is a multicultural society – which means, everyone needs to welcome each other with open hands. Unless this happens, it won’t stop me, and many others, to feel more connected to their homeland in China, or for me, Hong Kong.
