The impact of immigration policy on Indian arts in New Zealand
Changes in NZ's immigration policy (2003) have resulted in the recent growth and diversity of New Zealand's Indian population by 48% since 2006, with the majority Auckland based (Friesen, 2008; Statistics New Zealand, 2013). It appears that the diversity of the Indian diaspora under which by the immigration policy has operated in direct opposition to the current cultural policy, which has reduced support to communities, centralized control of cultural production, and sought to recruit ethnicity as a feature of the pursuit of tourist dollars. Tensions arise within the growing populous reflecting the diverse nature of the diaspora migration experience and cultural differences within the Indian subcontinent. This study considers the growing market for events targeting the Indian community presented by producers inside and outside of the community. Who has access to government funding is an emotive topic. Not all feel they get supported on an equal platform. This is compounded when government support of 'cultural' events for their own political and economic development; the local Indian community is left in a tricky situation and riddled with tension. This study aims to unpack some of the complexities this current situation.

Changing cultural economy in the production of Indian performance
This paper focuses on cultural economy, the "set of socio-economic relations that enable cultural activities" (Pratt, 2008, p. 49). It examines the production and representation of culture as a function of the economic relations that enable successful production and the diverse set of partially connected economies in the diasporic setting of Auckland's South Asian community. The paper is based on ethnographic research between 2010 and the present. Of events presenting Indian performance culture produced within Auckland's South Asian community, roughly 5% are entirely economically self-sufficient. Most producers rely on a set of economic relationships to supplement the revenues generated by the event itself. Producers activate economic relationships through other kinds of relationships; social, political, cultural identity, family or commercial, but as economic relationships they also depend on mutual self-interest and the potential for mutual economic benefit. The findings demonstrate the formulation of various production networks that affect the economic and cultural value to the South Indian community. Recent concerts and festivals demonstrate how the activation of social relationships plays as economic relationships that add value to various levels of the cultural economy. Value is not limited to within the local community as relationships engage transnational communities and funding partners that influence event production practices. Issues around economic relations that enable cultural activities have all been reformulated in the context of a changing diasporic population (both in size and makeup) and a changing event and festival landscape in the "new" supersized Auckland.

Whose Diwali is it? The case of the Indian Community and Auckland City Council
This paper interrogates the ways that governmental agendas may affect the representation and expression of cultural identity. I trace factors that have transformed the production of Diwali, in Auckland, New Zealand. In 1998, Auckland Indian Association (AIA) started a public Diwali celebration responding to the rapidly growing Indian community population and needs for collective expression and enjoyment of one of India's most important cultural celebrations. Government support, beginning in 2002, recognized the potential political and economic benefits of cultural celebrations by launching Diwali: Festival of Lights with AIA. By 2004, Auckland Council had gained increasing control over all aspects of event production practices. By 2013, the local Indian press was reporting voices of dissent concerning Diwali's Bollywood/Panjabi content, noting that the representation of Indian performance culture is now determined by management decisions made by the Council and their selected sponsors. Government support has become government control, transforming a community celebration into a "Major Civic Event" that executive decisions seek to align with larger tourism and economic development strategies. The altered Diwali festival management structure has disenfranchised the local community and the power of community representation. This study demonstrates how power enables as well as constrains musical performance and cultural identity.

Findings from a Court Study of Care Proceedings Involving Parents with Intellectual Disabilities
In: Journal of policy and practice in intellectual disabilities: official journal of the International Association for the Scientific Study of Intellectual Disabilities, Band 1, Heft 3-4, S. 179-181
ISSN: 1741-1130
Abstract This report summarizes the findings of a study of court files relating to care proceedings involving parents with an intellectual disability. The authors found that 15.3% of all children subject to care applications in the year 2000 in the courts studied had at least one parent with an intellectual disability. They also found that these children were less likely to be returned home and more likely to be freed for adoption than the children of any other group of parents. The data raise questions about the discriminatory treatment of parents with an intellectual disability in the child protection process.
Men in the Lives of Mothers with Intellectual Disabilities
In: Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities: JARID, Band 15, Heft 3, S. 187-199
ISSN: 1468-3148
This paper examines the part played by men in the lives of mothers with intellectual disabilities. The study involved secondary analysis of data from three earlier studies of parenting by people with intellectual disabilities undertaken by the authors. The data challenge the widespread assumption that men are either exploitative or bring troubles of their own to relationships. The findings show that this view presents only a part of the picture and that supportive men were in the majority among the families surveyed. Men's contributions mostly came in the form of increments to their family's human capital rather than through the traditional breadwinner role.

Parental competence and parents with learning difficulties
In: Child & family social work, Band 1, Heft 2, S. 81-86
ISSN: 1365-2206
ABSTRACTParental adequacy is widely seen as a function of individual parenting skills. This assumption renders parents with learning difficulties vulnerable to discriminatory treatment in child protection work. A presumption of incompetence leads practitioners to focus on the parents' deficits and intensifies concerns about the welfare of the children. Using case material from a recent study, the authors argue for a wider conception of good‐enough parenting that takes into account the external pressures that impact on family functioning.
