<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Graham White had no reason to believe it was a day different from any other. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16px;">It was October 20, 1999, and the Dunedin-based train driver had just pulled up his southbound train 919 on the Main South Line at Waipahi Station.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">He was just about to jump out of the locomotive to change the mainline points so that northbound train 938 could pass on a parallel section of track diverging from the main line. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was the responsibility of the first train to arrive to set the mainline points for the passing loop.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Unfortunately, the trains arrived at Waipahi Station almost simultaneously and, at 7.02am, train 938 entered the station and collided head-on with train 919, killing Mr White and seriously injuring the driver of train 938.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">From 1993
to 2008 New Zealand’s railways were privately owned. The private
owners believed that the marketplace would somehow create safe working
conditions. During that time the following rail workers were killed on the job:
Graham White, Sean Smith, Jack Neha, Peter Silbury, Murray Shaw, Tim Steffert,
Rudolph Wairau, Billy Trouland, Ambrose Manaia, Neil Faithful, Neville Bell,
Robert Burt and Jim Jacobs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">In June
2000 Margaret Wilson the Minister of Labour announced that there would be a

<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">On October 2019 a special train traveled from Dunedin to Waipahi where a commemoration of the Waipahi rail
accident and Graham White's death took place. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">On the return journey to Dunedin the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union arranged a cab pass so I was able sit up the front with the driver.
I took the sketch book with me and scribbled down the changing view as the
train rolled through the Southland country side - the drawings seemed to be
much improved by the motion of the train.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">This series

Behind the dunes we stopped in a grove of Kopi trees sheltered
from the wind. In New Zealand these trees are called karaka but in the Chathams
they are known by the Moriori word kopi. I had recently completed some
illustrations for ‘No Ordinary Shelia’. Hugh McDonald’s wonderful film about the
writer and illustrator Sheila Natusch that celebrated her long life sharing her
understanding of New Zealand’s nature and history. Sheila had family
connections to the Chathams and I figured she would have liked the kopi grove
so I took the liberty of painting her in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sheila

A few weekends ago walking off the Desert Road towards Waihohonu I was surrounded by acres pink flowers pushing through the tussock. In 1947 when my father arrived in New Zealand from Scotland he bought with him a collection of Robert Burns poems with a piece of Scottish heather pressed between the pages. He thought he would never see heather again. He didn’t need to worry. The flowering heather that I was walking through came from seeds scattered by Police Commissioner Cullen early last century. He wanted to change the landscape of the Tongariro National Park into an English moorland so that he could dress like a gentleman in his tweed jacket and go shooting the grouse that he had also released. The grouse didn’t survive but the heather did. It is now regarded as an inappropriate weed.<br />
I have had a couple of earlier skirmishes with the police commissioner. The first in an exhibition about the Waihi miners strike and the second in an exhibition about about his invasion of Rua Kenena’s community at Maungapohatu.<br />

INLAND is a joint exhibition with the sculptor Bing Dawe that is showing at Whitespace Gallery until Sunday the 6th of November 2016. My recent shows have had been about historical figures. This one is simply a series of landscapes.

<div style="-webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; -webkit-transition-property: color, background-color, border-color, opacity; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 12px; max-width: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: color, background-color, border-color, opacity; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In a range of steep bare hills of farmland, a raw road has been cut through the slopes. It is spectacular but it will produce erosion and the farmer's bulldozer that provokes this loss of pasture sits bright red on the road like Smaug the dragon taking the air.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; -webkit-transition-property: color, background-color, border-color, opacity; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 12px; max-width: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: color, background-color, border-color, opacity; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In <i style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; max-width: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Paraparas</i>, an even longer road loops fascinatingly across the hills but on one of them erosion has already begun. Other damage done in the effort to establish pasture is exemplified by bare dead logs lying like lines of perspective pointing to the future in Te Humenga Dunes. The dryness of the logs, the bareness of the hills the thinness of vegetation is conveyed by thin paint that is often scraped through to underpaint to create forms.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; -webkit-transition-property: color, background-color, border-color, opacity; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 12px; max-width: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: color, background-color, border-color, opacity; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The flexibility of effect of the paint is used well for human interventions, too. Seven symbolic suitcases sit as strange invasive objects on a road in one painting. In another, the outstanding work in the show, it is used to separate two figures from the natural environment.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; -webkit-transition-property: color, background-color, border-color, opacity; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 12px; max-width: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: color, background-color, border-color, opacity; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">They are Tom and Elizabeth from the famous poem by Denis Glover where death and madness overtake the couple striving against the odds to establish a farm during the Great Depression. Among burnt logs, they stand facing an immense tree trunk greater than any kauri. Its bark surface is excellently conveyed. It emphasises its role as symbolic obstacle rather than a simple illustration of the poem.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; -webkit-transition-property: color, background-color, border-color, opacity; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 12px; max-width: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: color, background-color, border-color, opacity; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It completes a small but very unusual show.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b><i>Bob Kerr,</i></b> at Whitespace, grounds
his painting in a text, from letters written by Tim Armstrong, then a wharf
labourer, to his children from Lyttelton jail. He had been given a year in
prison for sedition because he opposed conscription during World War I.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> He
became prominent in union activity at an early age and later was a
much-respected MP. He describes his life as a young man leaving school at 12,
working in the flax industry, railway construction and the gold mines of Waihi,
and walking the roads with his swag hundreds of miles between jobs.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
</span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The 14 paintings in the show illustrate passages
from the letters and effectively recreate the times. The show is titled <i>It
Was the Fun of the World</i> and the only time bitterness creeps in is in
the painting of Armstrong and his wife and young children leaving Waihi when he
had been blocked from employment for union activity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<div class="MsoNormal">
The plainness of the painting effectively matches
the text. Kerr uses a very thin paint over a hard surface with a limited palette,
mainly blue and brown. It works well in describing extensive flax along a river
flat or the big cliffs of a railway cutting. Clever use is made of runs of
paint and resistance techniques to provide the appearance of texture.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The images are straightforward: the flax and the
act of cutting it, the size of a railway cutting and the tools and wagon used
to hack through it, the rough roads and the vitality of young men walking them,
swag on back.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Illustrative painting of this kind is rare now unless linked to a book
but this show effectively gives insight into a personality and history with
considerable artistic skill.<o:p></o:p></div>

It's always exciting when you see the proofs of a new book. The proofs of <i>Changing Times</i> arrived from the publisher Potton & Burton a few days ago. Changing Times is a graphic novel that looks at our history through the pages of a small town Newspaper. It will be published in September this year. Here is the cover and a couple of the spreads. </div>

<span lang="EN-US">I visited Gallipoli some years ago. </span>I couldn’t afford to take the commercial
tours so I would catch the local bus to Kabatepe and then walk for an hour down the beach
to Anzac Cove. I would walk back at the end of the day expecting to
meet the bus but I never did catch the bus because I would be invited to
dinner by one of the Turkish families that would be picnicking under the pine
trees along the coast. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They would ask me where I was from and I would
say New Zealand and that I had been looking at the place where the New
Zealanders landed in 1915. I would ask my hosts why they were so
kindly disposed to New Zealanders since we had tried to invade their country. They invariably suggested that we had
picked a rather bad place to land because the young commander on the top of the
hill was Kemal Ataturk and that we helped create his reputation and therefore
helped create modern Turkey and my hosts would add but that was a long
time ago and would I like another slice of baklava.<br />
<br />
It is the same generosity that Ataturk voiced when he said the much quoted words that are on the Ataturk memorial on the
south coast at Karehana Bay here in Wellington.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Your sons are now our sons, having lost
their lives in this land.” It seems amazingly generous since twice as many
Turkish soldiers died defending their home than the invaders did.</div>

When the text for this book arrived in my inbox one
Friday I sent a reply straight back to the publishers New Holland saying I was too busy and would not be able
to do it. Over the weekend I showed it to my daughter Kathleen. She read it, took her glasses of, wiped her eye and told me to do it. I’m glad she did. It has been great working with the team at New Holland Publishers and it’s been great working with Philippa.

The characters in <i>Best Mates</i> dashed off to the first World War without giving much thought to what they would encounter. Mark Briggs and Archibald Baxter gave it a lot of thought and refused to go. They were sent to prison and then, along with fourteen other conscientious objectors were taken to the frontline in France where Baxter, Briggs and Lawrence Kirwan were administered Number One Field Punishment in an attempt by the New Zealand Government to persuade them to put on the kings uniform.</div>

This exhibition at the Tauranga Art Gallery includes some paintings from earlier shows on this topic and a major new work <i>A long Row of Stout High Poles. </i>Musician Andrew Laking has composed a sound scape that plays in the gallery with the paintings. To find out more about Andy and his music visit his website a t<a href="http://andylaking.com/" target="_blank">http://andylaking.com</a></div>

Here are some images from the show. Viewers are invited to walk along the wooden duckwalk to view the large painting. The text running along the top of the seven panels is a quote from Baxter's book <i>We Will Not Cease</i>. It reads: "Walking along the duckwalk from the gate I observed a long row of stout high poles. These poles were for the infliction of number one field punishment."</div>

<div class="MsoBodyText">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A couple of Kilometres past Kurow I park the car at the Awakino bridge. I climb the fence and follow the sheep and cattle tracks up the stream, after some minutes pushing through the gorse and broom I find I’m following and old water race. I wonder what it was for, irrigation or perhaps some long abandoned gold sluicing endeavour? There are rusting pieces of metal under the bare willow trees and when I come around a bend I find a flourishing apple tree.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It was here in the Awakino Stream that over 350 unemployed men and their families set up the Willows Camp during the worst years of Great Depression of the 1930’s. Many of them would have walked up the valley from Oamaru and finding there was no job they would have waited at the willows rather than make the long trudge back down the valley. They were hoping to join the 2000 men working on the Waitaki Dam which was being built a couple of kilometres up the Waitaki River. At the Willows they lived in tents and shacks made out of willow branches and beaten out fuel cans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The hills on either side of the stream would have protected the squatters from the worst of the freezing westerly winds but they would also shade the valley and winter frosts would have remained for weeks. Local legend has it that ‘whiskey froze in the bottle and nappies hung like boards on the line.’<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Girvan McMillan the Kurow doctor, Andrew Davidson the local headmaster and Arnold Nordmeyer the Presbyterian minister were soon in regular contact with the families at the Willows. It set them thinking. </span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The three wise men, as they were affectionately called, were appalled at the squalid living conditions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoBodyText">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Andrew Davidson had his school roll suddenly grow from 63 to 339. He was a tireless and innovative educator. He believed that each child ‘possessed a spark of genius somewhere’. It was the teacher’s job to find it. Nordmeyer’s sermons dealt more with the here and now rather than the hereafter and McMillan was known for his fast and furious driving around his large practice and his expectation that trains in the Kurow shunting yards should make way for him. He was running a local medical scheme funded by hospital board and local contributions. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Dave Shoemac, DB Export marketing manager, in a press release at the launch of this campaign of newspaper ads and associated five minute film describes Nordmeyer as a “</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">‘puritanical bore’ who taxed the importation of the world’s best beers so heavily that no ordinary man could afford to drink them. After hearing news of the budget, the inventive Morton came up with a cunning plan to help average Kiwi beer drinkers who were outraged by the new tax,” Shoemack explains. “Morton quietly set about creating a beer that would not only avoid the import duty, but would also hold its own against the world’s best beers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is not correct. Coutts did not come up with his cunning plan after the tax on imported beers was introduced in 1959. It was collaborative research between Dominion Breweries and its largest competitor; New Zealand Breweries that led to the introduction of the Continuous Fermentation Process. This system was</span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> patented in 1956. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The new process significantly reduced brewing times. Dominion breweries had been producing beer using this process for a year before the tax was introduced.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The newspaper ads describe Coutts as ‘visionary’. The real visionary was Arnold Nordmeyer. Working in Kurow in North Otago during the depression he had witnessed real hardship at an unemployed workers camp known as the Willows where unemployed families lived through freezing winters in tents and shacks made out of beaten out fuel cans. Nordmeyer would meet with the local schoolteacher Andrew Davidson and the town doctor Girvan McMillan and discuss solutions to the third world poverty they experienced at the Willows. It was at the doctor’s kitchen table that they wrote down the six simple points that were to become New Zealand’s future health system. By 1935 Nordmeyer was in Parliament where he was the architect of the 1938 social security act, which</span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> combined the introduction of a free-at-the-point-of-use health system with a comprehensive array of welfare benefits. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Shoemac and his confused storytellers simply ignore the fact that by taxing imported beer Nordmeyer was actually assisting the New Zealand owned brewery.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">DB is no longer a New Zealand company.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">The worlds of labour history and advertising seldom intersect but they have done so recently, and tumultuously. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">As reported in the last (November 2010) issue of this journal, the Singapore-owned Dominion Breweries chose to rewrite NZ history in its new advertising campaign for DB Export beer. In a sly and pricey B&W ad for cinema, TV and its website, the company portrayed 1950s brewing magnate Morton Coutts as a hero of the working man and Labour Finance Minister Arnold Nordmeyer as a tax-and-ban Puritan. Nordmeyer’s 1958 ‘Black Budget’, the ad alleged, taxed imported beer out of the reach of thirsty workers. Street riots broke out, they claimed, until the noble Coutts invented an improved brewing process to supply top-shelf beer at a public bar price. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">The ad agency claimed it spent 16 months researching this ad. Evidently not time well spent since, as our last issue pointed out, almost none of their account was true. Coutts was no champion of the common drinker but an extremely wealthy and hard-nosed businessman. He didn’t develop his ‘continuous fermentation’ brewing process in response to Nordy’s budget, but two years earlier. And there were no riots against the beer tax. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">To deliver this deeply dishonest and politically loaded message, DB mixed its own dramatised re-enactments with genuine archive footage, especially of the 1951 waterfront lockout. That decision proved to be the Achilles heel of their misinformation campaign. Several people, including Progressive Party MP Jim Anderton, laid complaints about the ad with the Advertising Standards Authority. And in February 2011 the ASA upheld those complaints, saying the ads “went too far and the likely consumer conclusion was that the account portrayed… was an accurate depiction of history, when it was no such thing”. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">DB had to pull their ads with six weeks of the campaign still to run. Will they appeal the ASA decision? Apparently not. Instead, the company chose to recut the ad without the offending 1951 footage, and added a voiceover making it clear that they have rewritten history to suit their commercial ends. In a further blow, DB missed out on a shot at an Axis Award, the Oscar of the ad world. Ads that have complaints upheld against them aren’t eligible for this coveted trophy. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Jim Anderton told the LHP: “DB is entitled to depict Arnold Nordmeyer (wrongly, in my view) as a boring old wowser. In fact he was one of the architects of our welfare state and those who knew him say that he had a wicked sense of humour. But they are not entitled to depict situations which are simply untrue and that needs to be emphasised by complaints such as the one I made.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">“But beyond that there was another consideration. The advertisements themselves carried the slogan: “How to lose an election”. That doesn’t seem to me to have much to do with selling beer. But it does make sense in a political context in which the Law Commission has issued a highly critical report on the way we regulate and advertise alcohol in this country.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">“This may become both the subject of legislation and an election issue this year. The message from these ads couldn’t be clearer. If you tighten up the regulation of the sale of alcohol, then be prepared for political flak paid for by the liquor industry. Members of Parliament should be entitled to make decisions affecting the wellbeing of New Zealanders without fear or favour. They should not be doing so in the shadow of threats by sectional interests with a financial axe to grind. We can do without that sort of advertising in this country.”</span></span><br />

And there was nothing glorious about it. It was mistake, blunder, muddle, death and disease.' </span><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Harold Wellman has been called the most influential New Zealand geologist of the 20th-century. He was the first to recognize one of New Zealand’s most extraordinary features: the Alpine Fault that bisects the South Island. Wellman proposed that the rocks in Nelson and Otago had originally been joined together, and were subsequently dragged apart 480 kilometers by continuing movement of the Alpine Fault. It was regarded as a crackpot idea at the time, but it is now completely accepted.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The paintings in this exhibition look at the time Harold Wellman spent on the West Coast prospecting for gold during the depression and trips he made in the early 1940’s with his fellow government geologist, Dick Willett, following the alpine fault in South Westland.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The exhibition was inspired by the biography of Harold Wellman by Simon Nathan, published by Victoria University Press.</span></span><br />
