| 46 | Crackdown on Loan Sharks will protect our most vulnerable |
| 47 | Increasing numbers of people are pawning items like bikes and childrens toys to borrow funds to be able to pay the bills. |
| 48 | The first step in my campaign to crackdown on these money lenders is to introduce my private members bill the Credit Reform (Responsible Lending) Bill, which, prevents lenders (loan sharks) from charging excessive interest rates and will ensure that they are more responsible when lending money. |
| 49 | We need to address the inadequacy of incomes by making sure that theminimum wage provides you enough to live on. |
| 50 | I am asking all political partiers to support this bill to select committee where it can be considered in full. |

| 60 | Lenders charge exorbitant rates and often claim |

| 62 | Are other countries moving in this direction? |

| 64 | Won’t setting a cap push everyone to the default interest rate? |

| 99 | We’ve two exclusives dominating tonight’s One News: the lethal concoction right on our doorstep. A Pacific paradise awash with guns and drugs which we’re helping supply… |
| 100 | We begin with how criminal gangs are building up a terrifying a****nal. A One News investigation has uncovered the explosive mix in the Pacific Island of Samoa. |
| 101 | Presenter 2 |
| 102 | We found there’s a lucrative trade in drugs from New Zealand and that in turn is helping pay for the smuggling of some heavy weaponry from the United States and China. |
| 103 | Well, the Police Commissioner wouldn’t appear on camera but he did tell One News that most of the guns in Samoa are used just for sport. We know that’s not the case. And he also said there’s not really a hard drugs problem in Samoa. We also know that’s not the case. And perhaps one of the reasons the Police Commissioner did not want to appear on camera is that he has been accused of gun smuggling himself. A gun commission found he did have a case to answer for but he was not investigated because the Samoan cabinet voted that he shouldn’t be. |
| 104 | Accordingly, the Authority finds that the One News item was unbalanced. |
| 105 | There’s more. But we’ve given enough for some serious reading and analysis. Please click on the link to read the full 30 page decision. |

| 107 | UPDATE 2: |
| 108 | UPDATE 1: |
| 109 | This BSA decision on this story is perhaps a watershed moment for Pacific journalism in New Zealand and the South Pacific region. Last April, TVNZ ran a story on One News about gun-running and gangs in Samoa by its Pacific Correspondent Barbara Dreaver. |
| 110 | the BSA has issued its decision. It has upheld Samoa’s complaint that the story was unbalanced, inaccurate on one of two points, and unfair on one of two points. It did not uphold Samoa’s complaint on the standard of law and order. |
| 111 | the reporter’s evidence certainly does not support her unequivocal statements |

| 149 | The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre (PTWC) has issued a Tsunami Cancellation in response to the above earthquake. However, based on scientific advice, the Ministry of Civil Defence & Emergency Management has downgraded the national warning to an advisory. |
| 150 | There is still a likelihood of surges and rapid sea level changes to continue for up to 24 hours after the initial wave arrivals. Wave heights could be larger than what we have currently experienced but within the threat levels and wave height estimates that have been previously forecast. |

| 23 | On the matter of TVNZ and its Pacific Correspondent Barbara Dreaver versus Samoa. |
| 24 | TVNZ’s latest PR a****nal to circ***vent any damage from the BSA findings. The timing of it all makes one very cynical and only more distrustful. It’s starting to feel like a Margaret Mead re-run. Looks like TVNZ issued a release promoting its good works in Samoa, and the rest of the Pacific, on the same day that the Samoan Government issued its release on the BSA findings. Coincidence? That release within days of both parties receiving the BSA ruling. Whoever issued their release first, it’s no coincidence. You be the judge. The intended effect we suspect from TVNZ’s latest PR spinning is to help minimise any damage to its correspondent’ |
| 25 | s and network’s rep****tion in the islands. |
| 26 | It’s a PR story where TVNZ and its Pacific Correspondent hold itself up as the champions of Pacific broadcasting by delivering equipment and the like to the islands to improve broadcasting. |
| 27 | Very clever. They’re broadcasting it on One News tonight. Usually those types of stories haven’t warranted making it onto the news agenda on mainstream One News. It’s hardly hard news and certainly not controversial so it’s usually covered by its magazine style show, Tagata Pasifika. But not hard news Dreaver, although we did notice there was a distinct but subtle change in direction with her stories after Samoa laid a complaint. She suddenly did more soft news stories on PIs like the story about a rowing team of PIs in NZ who use rowing as a form of healing therapy. |
| 28 | The time and the charity image that TVNZ have sought to convey here has the effect of one, deliberating positioning Dreaver as a supposed champion and supporter of free Pacific media. It also has the unspoken premise that islands like Samoa should not complain when TVNZ gets it wrong because look at what we’re doing for you and your people. Tacky PR from TVNZ. |
| 29 | Let’s hope Dreaver had someone else teach ethics and basic journalism standards like accuracy, fairness and balance, while they were there. They are running their PR story as a news story on One News tonight, according to their release. We were not sent a copy of the release. No mention though of when they will issue the statement stating the BSA findings. But don’t worry, the pacific grapevine still works, loud, long and far. |
| 30 | By the way, the BSA report does not specifically name the reporter. As is standard practice for the BSA, the Authority’s practice protects the journalist’s anonymity on record but not the complainant. |

| 34 | items discussed controversial issue of public importance – only presented one perspective, that the situation in Samoa was extremely serious – viewers needed information about the gravity of the problem in a wider context and from other perspectives. |
| 35 | reporter accurately reported what she was told by the “Makoi boys” but under the circ***stances should have questioned their reliability and made efforts to corroborate what they said – complainant’s other concerns appropriately dealt with under balance. |
| 36 | programmes conveyed that guns and drugs trade was undesirable and a problem – did not encourage or condone criminal activity |
| 37 | SUMMARY: FINDING OF BREACH OF STANDARD OF BALANCE |
| 38 | We’ve two exclusives dominating tonight’s One News: the lethal concoction right on our doorstep. A Pacific paradise awash with guns and drugs which we’re helping supply… |
| 39 | We begin with how criminal gangs are building up a terrifying a****nal. A One News investigation has uncovered the explosive mix in the Pacific Island of Samoa. |
| 40 | We found there’s a lucrative trade in drugs from New Zealand and that in turn is helping pay for the smuggling of some heavy weaponry from the United States and China. |
| 41 | Well, the Police Commissioner wouldn’t appear on camera but he did tell One News that most of the guns in Samoa are used just for sport. We know that’s not the case. And he also said there’s not really a hard drugs problem in Samoa. We also know that’s not the case. And perhaps one of the reasons the Police Commissioner did not want to appear on camera is that he has been accused of gun smuggling himself. A gun commission found he did have a case to answer for but he was not investigated because the Samoan cabinet voted that he shouldn’t be. |

| 44 | UPDATE 3: BSA 30-page ruling is now posted on this site. Click on the relevant latest post link. |
| 45 | UPDATE 2: We will be posting the 30-page BSA decision online shortly. |
| 46 | More revelations. |
| 47 | UPDATE 1: the latest in this saga. Television New Zealand, a publicly-funded state broadcaster, has reportedly come out swinging against the Samoan Government for releasing this information into the public domain and reportedly breaching an embargo. Must say, we can’t blame the Samoan Government for that early release considering the damage Dreaver’s beat up did to the islands’ tourism, and further compounded by what Samoa and Tonga islands suffered last year. TVNZ is considering an appeal. That’s all we’ve got time to write on this for now. Expect to hear more in the coming days. Check update from Samoa Observer |
