EDITORIAL

Tēnā koutou katoa

As you get closer to a goal or aspiration you have been working towards for some time, there’s a feeling of cautious optimism and excitement, coupled with nervous tension. This is the feeling in the PKW team at the moment as our diversification strategy moves from the planning phase into investment and implementation.

In order to invest, you need pūtea, strong due diligence and well-considered risk management to ensure these strategic investments have the best opportunity to deliver sustainable and robust returns over the period of their tenure.

It is with this in mind that Joe, our General Manager Finance and Investments, has penned an article which provides a deeper explanation with regards to the mechanics (i.e. debt and equity) of strategic investment in this issue of Whenua, and I would encourage everyone to read this article, so as to be fully informed.

Also, as part of the decision-making process when assessing potential investment opportunities, we employ our Kaupapa Evaluation Tool (KET) –a series of metrics that ensure that we stay aligned with our core values and strategic outcomes. Learn more about KET on page 11 and how we use it to fulfil our vision of He Tangata, He Whenua, He Oranga.

It has been a relief for all our kaimahi that the weather has finally decided to be kind to us, after two years of wind, rain and drought that put our farms under real pressure. Enjoying what you do is an important element for a happy life and I am pleased to see the smiles out there as our people care for the whenua and the animals on it.

HALF-YEARLY HUI KEEPS SHAREHOLDERS UPDATED

Shareholders enjoyed an informative half-yearly hui, with a positive financial forecast and new insight into PKW’s diversification portfolio as the highlights.

The hui at the beginning of May, which took place at Kairau Marae for the first time, included an overview of the achievements of the incorporation against its strategic goals in the first part of the year.

“We were pleased to be able to hold our hui at Kairau Marae as part of our desire to visit different iwi and hapū,” says Jacqui King, PKW Head of Corporate Services. “It was great to welcome new whānau to participate and learn more about our kaupapa.”

Enhanced shareholder engagement was a focus of the report, with the renaming of one farm ‘Te Ruru’ and

another ‘Te Kāhu’ helping to forge closer connections with Meremere Marae whānau, and working groups established to implement the kaitiakitanga strategy. Iwi and hapū hosting the PKW Kaimahi Whānau Days at Waioturi was another example.

Progress towards a more balanced portfolio was made in line with the

diversification strategy with the purchase of the Novotel Hotel in New Plymouth and the inception of the sheep dairy initiative. Warwick Tauwhare-George, PKW CEO, spoke to the hui about the collaborations and partner relationships being built and the next phase of the diversification plan being put into action.

A financial update was presented with positive profit projections for year end, despite the impact of the drop in the Fonterra share value.

Currently (to 31 December 2018) revenue stands at $11.8m, operating expenses at $7.3m and operating profit at $3.6m.

Richard Krogh (Te Atiawa, Ngāti Tūwharetoa), the chair of the newly formed PKW Farm LP Board, took the opportunity to introduce himself to shareholders and explain the results of the first stage of the governance review.

“The governance review was initiated from a desire to separate key strategic areas and ensure that board members were placed where their skill sets could be used to the most effect,” says Jacqui. “Stage one is now complete and stage two, reviewing the incorporation’s governance model, is underway.”

Four videos giving a greater insight

into PKW’s investment interests were well received by those present, and the results of the shareholder engagement survey were also presented.

“The survey helps us as an incorporation to know where our shareholders’ priorities lie and where we should focus our efforts,” says Jacqui. “It is clear that retaining ancestral whenua is of utmost importance, along with our role as kaitiaki. More access to wāhi tapu is something we will be looking at as part of our Kaitiakitanga Strategy implementation.”

The meeting culminated in a delicious hāngī, with meat provided by one of PKW’s prime beef.

“Being able to kōrero directly with our shareholders is always a valuable experience and we, board members and management team alike, appreciate the opportunity,” says Jacqui.

“The survey helps us as an incorporation to know where our shareholder’s priorities lie and so where we should focus our efforts.”

GIVING BACK FOR GENERATIONS TO COME

When it comes to seeking opportunities to invest for the benefit of future generations, Tama Potaka is on the ground looking for action.

As Senior Advisor for the NZ Super Fund’s Direct Investment team, Tama sources and creates opportunities that will help deliver on the Fund’s purpose to help pay the future cost of superannuation. Since being established in 2001, the Fund now stands at around $42 billion, with the Direct Investment team responsbile for approximately 15 percent of its assets comprising investments in forestry, dairy farms, horticulture, KiwiBank, retirement villages, property developments, infrastructure and other sectors.

“We operate at a scale no other domestic investor can, which gives us a real advantage when it comes to identifying and creating investment opportunities,” says Tama. “We also hold the home town advantage, and do not have the overseas investment challenges that other scale investors have.”

His role is to engage and connect, fostering ideas and opportunities and developing investment opportunities to bring people together to secure economically-viable returns in a

socially (and culturally) responsible way.

“The fund aligns particularly well with the distinct world view Māori hold as we work along the same timeframes— taking an inter-generational approach rather than a desire for shorter-term returns,” he says. “We also have the patience and understanding to work with Iwi/Māori and realise the inherent potential of Māori organisations.”

One example of his contribution to Iwi/Māori was supporting the development of the Te Pūia Tāpapa Fund, a direct investment fund made up of 26 Māori entities from across Aotearoa committing $115.5 million to the Fund, including entities such as Parininhi ki Waitōtara Incorporation (PKW) which has put $2 million toward the venture.

Te Pūia Tāpapa recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the NZ Super Fund setting out a preferred partnership arrangement that facilitates engagement when identifying large scale investment prospects.

Tama served as PKW’s first associate director and later a full Committee member (2005-2010). His whakapapa connections to Taranaki are through grandmother Sina James from Ngāruahine and Taranaki Tūturu. Tama is also linked to Ngāti Hauiti, Whanganui and has strong connections to Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Ngāti Raukawa and Ngāti Toarangatira.

During the late 1990s, Tama was a recipient of the Charles Bailey scholarship which supported him attaining a Bachelor of Laws (First Class Honours) and Bachelor of Arts (Political Science, Māori Studies) from Victoria University of Wellington, before going on to gain a Masters of Law at Columbia University, New York.

Tama is married to Ariana and they have a daughter, Tiaria Te Ikaroa, and

“It’s always been part of my life, always to seek out and identify opportunities that help Māori.”

Tama Potaka

two sons - Te Awarua Tamatereka and Aorangi Te Āionuku. During his time with PKW he also served as Chair for both PKW Farms Ltd and the PKW Trust. He has held a variety of governance, consultancy, research and legal roles in New Zealand, working to improve Māori access to education, establish Māori values and tikanga, ensure stakeholder engagement and opportunities for employment, and promote mahi tahi - Māori working together and

collaborating for the benefit of all.

“It’s always been part of my life, always to seek out and identify opportunities that help Māori,” he says. “It is also a way to acknowledge my whānau and iwi, which includes PKW, who have helped me to get where I am today.”

He is currently working on an opportunity that seeks to bring the NZ Super Fund and several Māori organisations together to create

community-based aged care and retirement facilities that hold the elderly at their heart. PKW are very much involved in the discussion as the Incorporation owns land in New Plymouth that would be ideal for this type of development.

“It’s going full circle really,” says Tama. “PKW bought the leasehold on that land in Pohutukawa Place when I was involved many years ago. Now Warwick (CEO) and Joe (General Manager Finance and Investments) are at the forefront of this mahi tahi to create this provincial commercial opportunity and have been leading the kōrero as we work through the feasibility.”

There are very few developments of this kind on Māori land on a nationwide scale, and it has taken two years to get to a point Tama calls ‘near the end of the beginning’.

“Good things take time,” he says, “especially for Māori. We are all on a journey together, supporting each other to reach our personal potential for the collective benefit of the whānau as a whole. “It’s what I set out to achieve every day.”

NEW METRICS DRIVE BUSINESS EVOLUTION

A review of the Kaupapa Evaluation Tool (KET) will mean that investment and asset management decisions will be aligned more closely with the Parininihi ki Waitotara (PKW) core values while delivering long-term benefit to owners.

The tool has been in use for nearly five years as an assessment mechanism for investment opportunities to ensure any decisions take the organisation in the strategic direction laid down by the Board.

Made up of around 20 original metrics (a measure used in quantitative assessment), the original KET was developed with the assistance of Sacha McMeeking, Senior Lecturer at Canterbury University.

“The tool has served us well when assessing investments in the past, and we wanted to build on that foundation ensuring that future ventures would deliver further long-term outcomes we want to achieve right across the organisation,” says Joe Hanita, PKW General Manager Finance and Investments. “That means that investment and asset management decisions continue to move beyond rate of return or financial benefit. Our values are at the core of what we do, so it is important that they are the core of what we deliver too, so we have balance across our whole kaupapa.”

The revised version of KET now has 25 different metrics (see table) that assess investment opportunities and asset management across

a wide range of criterion such as cost management, animal welfare, resource use and efficiency, cultural pride, the PKW narrative, employment provision for Taranaki Māori, and progressive procurement.

“These metrics have been informed by our core strategic intent along with operational frameworks such as, for example, the Kaitiakitanga and procurement strategies,” says Joe. “They bring to life our core values of Kaitiakitanga, Manaakitanga, Whakapono, Whanaungatanga and Kotahitanga, so measurable outcomes can be assessed and quantified.”

Each metric has a rating grade from one to 10. PKW has set the minimum standard for any metric at five, which means any investment or asset delivering at a lower level sets off a ‘red flag’.

“A red flag alerts us to the fact that something is underperforming which means we can make a decision of how to address it,” explains Joe. “Whatever approach we take will be a methodical and proactive one, not a reactive response. This is not a revolution, it’s an evolution to deliver results over the next five, 10, 25 and 50 years.”

Any new investment proposal is assessed using KET by management and then sent to the Board, along with evidence for the rating allocated. Board members review the proposal and decide to proceed or not with the opportunity.

An annual assessment of all significant PKW assets and investments will be carried out by both governance and management teams at PKW, with the possibility of independent review also being considered in the future.

“We talk a lot about alignment and balance, and these 25 metrics will enable us to take an objective view about where we actually sit as an organisation when it comes to following our aspirations,” says Joe. “KET will also mean we can lift our transparency as a business for our owners, with performance against each metric forming part of future annual reports and discussions at the annual general meeting.”

“In lots of ways, the tool will act as a map for our journey, providing signposts and directions to ensure that we keep to the path we have set ourselves.” >>

KET enables business outcomes to be quantified to ensure any decisions keep the organisation on track to reach its strategic goals and aspirations.

DELIVERING DIVERSIFICATION THROUGH PRUDENT DEBT MANAGEMENT

Driving growth to deliver meaningful opportunities for Taranaki Māori means that diversification via the PKW investment portfolio is key to creating a sustainable business.

The last financial year saw the organisation reinforcing its foundations by confirming the investment policy that facilitates the release in equity through the core asset - the whenuaas well as improved performance from PKW Farms and effective cost control.

“In order to diversify we need to take advantage of investment opportunities - and in order to do that we need to ensure we have the capital available,” says Joe Hanita, General Manager Finance and Investments. “The allocation of debt and equity ratios for each of our five significant investment areas and further consolidation of PKW Farms means we will have headroom within our debt caps to advance our strategic approach.”

Currently, PKW holds $48m worth of debt (as at 30 June 2019) which sits within the PKW Farms business as a result of the purchase of whenua, both leasehold interests and freehold, over time.

With a total of $320m in assets, the debt to asset ratio across the Incorporation stands at just 16%.

“This is a very low ratio, and well under the debt cap of 25% across the group set by the PKW Board - which in itself is low compared to the industry norm of anywhere between 30-40%,” says Joe. “We also have a formal debt policy which has seen us reduce our debt level from $60m to its current level via equity realisation, through the sale of some freehold and nonstrategic leasehold whenua.”

“What this means in real terms is that we have put in the mahi to free up capital for our diversification programme in a way that maintains our conservative approach to how we incur and carry debt. Self-funding growth requires a business to build up cash reserves, which takes time. By using both options, we are ready and able to take advantage of opportunities as they become available.”

The organisation now has $20m worth of debt headroom available with which to make investment decisions. Those decisions will be made very carefully, based not just on profitability but on

DEBT TO TOtAL ASSETS

the broader intent and objectives laid down in the PKW core values and mission kōrero.

“Any opportunity or proposal needs to stand up to the robust metrics of the Kaupapa Evaluation Tool (KET), which ensures we create a balanced investment portfolio over time,” says Joe. “We are taking a conservative and balanced approach and are happy to wait for the right opportunity to come along.”

“Growth assets normally cost more, so we are expecting to make investments of around $5m-$10m in order to realise the benefits we want for our shareholders.”

Having confidence in this strategic approach, a confidence also held by the PKW debt provider Rabobank, means PKW is now entering a 3-year focused period of diversification and growth across the business that will deliver long-term, sustainable prosperity for Taranaki Māori and achieve the strategic goals the business aspires to.

Transition to a low-emissions future

It is widely accepted that our region, our nation and our planet must reduce carbon emissions if we are to ensure the prosperity of future generations. Here in Taranaki, that presents challenges and implications to a regional economy built on strong foundations of oil and gas and agriculture. So we need to plan, in advance and over the long-term, for the transition to a low-emission future.

Over the past eight or so months, Venture Taranaki has worked with the region to create the Taranaki 2050 Roadmap, a document which sets out the low-emissions vision for our region in the year 2050.

The Roadmap was developed through an innovative cocreation process, a new engagement model that collected the ideas and feedback of more than 1,000 people throughout our region at a series of community workshops and meetings. Energy Minister Hon Dr Megan Woods stated “I genuinely believe Taranaki’s 2050 Roadmap is worldleading.”

The Taranaki 2050 Draft Roadmap was launched at the Just Transitions Summit in New Plymouth on 9 May, and since then we’ve actively encouraged people to give additional feedback and insight. We’ve visited many of the region’s schools to ensure the voices of our tamariki and rangatahi

are heard, worked with unions to include workers, met with businesses and community groups, and talked with many others. We’ve also invited comment from anyone who is interested through the www.taranaki2050.org.nz website.

The region’s feedback is being integrated into the report and big picture, and we are on track to finalise the Taranaki 2050 Roadmap later this month. Work will then begin on developing an action plan that will help our region deliver on the vision in the Roadmap. The plan is aimed to be completed by the end of the year and will set targets and activities for the first phase of our transition. The Roadmap is intended as an enduring piece of work to help guide decision-making around investment and initiatives in the region.

From there it’s up to all of the region’s current and future residents, enterprises, and stakeholders to ensure we make the most of the opportunities ahead of our region. It’s an exciting time to be living and working in Taranaki.

To find out more about the Taranaki 2050 Roadmap and the just transition to a low-emissions economic future, visit www.Taranaki2050.org.nz.

INVESTMENT INSIGHT A HIT WITH OWNERS

A series of new videos that give an insight into the key investments PKW has made have been well-received by owners.

giving our people the opportunity to see what the incorporation has invested in would help create a better understanding as we progress towards our diversification and investment goals,” says Mitchell Ritai, PKW General Manager Shareholder Engagement. “Articles in Whenua magazine and business reports are very informative, but these videos really bring the subject of the investments being made on their behalf to life for our people.”

The videos were made by iStudios and are part of a communications strategy that aims to build on existing information channels to ensure that PKW owners remain fully informed and engaged with the activities being carried out by the organisation.

quality beef stock within PKW’s own agribusiness is so important to the bottom line.

Benefits such as cost efficiencies, genetic control and ensuring the care and welfare of every animal for its lifespan are cited, along with the fact that by not bringing in replacement animals from external sources, PKW is protecting its dairy herd asset from diseases such as M. bovis (Mycobacterium bovis).

The Mangaoapa Forestry Block is a fine example of a legacy investment, one which is made without expectation of a return for at least a generation. Containing shots of more than 400 hectares planted in pine trees, taken from the air, the video really brings home the size of the project. It also

PNFLP processing business, this investment is a key asset in the PKW diversification portfolio.

PKW’s partnership with Rockit Apples began in 2013, with the investment of $150k in a newly established orchard syndicate in Hawkes Bay. The video, featuring stunning shots of hectares of apple trees, explains that innovation is at the core of the business as the Rockit apple is a new miniature variety developed by the company specifically for the global marketplace. The investment is just coming to the end of its six-year trading period, as the trees mature and reach full fruit production, and the first positive return on investment should show in the 2019/2020 financial year.

The videos will be posted on the PKW Facebook page and website over the next few weeks so that everyone can watch them.

“They are not only informative but visually stunning,” says Mitchell. “There is some breathtaking footage and some beautiful shots of Taranaki maunga.”

In the wake of such positive reactions, more videos are in the planning stages, with one focusing on the work being done as part of the Kaitiakitanga Strategy.

Mitchell adds, “There are all manner of exciting projects happening at the moment and video is a great

way to help people understand the organisation and what it is doing to achieve its strategic goals in more depth.

“The overwhelmingly positive reaction we have received so far shows that we are hitting the mark when it comes to keeping our owners informed.”

GREAT START TO SEASON FOR PKW FARMERS

After two seasons of weather conditions that made farming a real challenge, Ranginui has been a little kinder to kaimahi, animals and whenua alike in the first half of 2018/2019.

In a real contrast to previous winter months, weather conditions were benign during July and August, and spring provided good growing conditions for grass, crop, livestock and milk production.

“There has been a lot of pressure on our people and the animals they care for over the last couple of years due to the rain and sun - plus a couple of catastrophic weather events thrown in for good measure,” says Shane Miles, General Manager Ahuwhenua. “To have the first half of the season return

to normal is a great relief and we can get on with dealing with the everyday challenges of farming.”

“Nothing concerns a farmer more than knowing their animals are feeling the strain. When they have the sun on their backs and the grass is growing, and animals are happy and healthy, it’s good for everyone.”

The weather also helped a successful calving season and a more stable projected Fonterra Milk Price figure makes for a better balanced accounts book.

The renaming of two PKW farms last year, Te Ruru (previously Farm 2) in July and Te Kāhu (previously Farm 10) in December, took place as the result of a burgeoning relationship between the Incorporation and Tūwhakaehu, hapū of Ngāti Ruanui.

“The names were a gift from the people of Meremere Marae and we were honoured to accept them,” says Shane. “It was such a positive experience and I am looking forward to working with the community further.”

HOW MARAE DO KAITIAKITANGA

A puna in demand and taniwha who guard lands farmed by Parininihi ki Waitotara were just some examples used to help kaimahi understand kaitiakitanga - from a marae perspective.

Six Whānau Days or marae-based wānanga have been held for kaimahi over the past four years in response to their desire to gain a better understanding of marae, hapū and iwi in PKW’s area of operation.

The two latest wānanga saw staff get an inside look at kaitiakitanga from the perspectives of Aotearoa and Waioturi marae in South Taranaki.

“Our kaimahi appreciate the opportunity they get to experience and be exposed to tikanga and to historical kōrero relevant to the

marae,” said Mitchell Ritai, PKW’s General Manager Shareholder Engagement.

The last two Whānau Days focused on a kaitiakitanga theme because PKW has recently completed its kaitiakitanga strategy.

“Our strategy is based on the principles of leaving the land in a better state for future generations

and that we are only the caretakers of the land,” explains Mitchell.

Mitchell said councils, academics, conservation groups and others can all have varying ways of looking at kaitiakitanga and applying it.

“Not only do we want our kaimahi to know what kaitiakitanga means

to PKW, we also want them to understand what it means from a marae perspective and we’re really thankful for the whānau from Aotearoa and Waioturi marae for sharing their knowledge with us,” he added.

Aotearoa Marae in Okaiawa hosted the fifth Whānau Day in November last year which saw 30 kaimahi turn out to hear from local kaikōrero John Hooker.

“John’s kōrero really got some of our kaimahi interested as one area he spoke about were the taniwha who connected to the marae and also the land blocks in the area that we now farm.”

“For our farmers, this kōrero about taniwha was particularly interesting because they are on that land every day.”

While at Aotearoa Marae, the kaimahi also carried out a fish monitoring activity, at the nearby Waingōngoro River, in conjunction with Taranaki

Regional Council to find out what type of life is in the awa.

“They found baby eels (elvers) and a couple variations of the kōkopu species. They also found a redfin bully which the council staff were surprised to see,” says Mitchell.

“The monitoring was only carried out at a small section of the river and only over two hours, but it’s a kaupapa we will continue as part of our ongoing monitoring programme for our kaitiakitanga strategy.”

At the most recent Whānau Day held in March at Waioturi Marae in Pātea, about 20 kaimahi got to hear from local kaikōrero Archie Hurunui.

“Archie’s kōrero was amazing because he went way back to the Aotea waka and then connected that story to the marae and a local water spring that his marae call Pārara-ki-teuru, which was the puna for Turi the captain of that waka.”

Mitchell said the kaikōrero talked about how the puna was still being used by the marae and others today.

“The spring feeds the kōhanga reo, the marae and the nursery and because there is a growing demand the people are now considering ongoing sustainability.

“To ensure the protection of that precious puna the marae will be applying their principles of kaitiakitanga.”

The next Whānau Day for PKW kaimahi is expected to take place in November this year.

“To ensure the protection of that precious puna the hapū will be applying their principles of kaitiakitanga.”

A TESTAMENT TO PKW TŪPUNA

A list of names around the skylight at the PKW whare, forming the shape of the iconic maunga Taranaki, stands as a constant reminder of the original shareholders who formed the incorporation.

The design embraces the memory of the original PKW shareholders.

Consisting of the whānau names of those tūpuna, the depiction surrounds the central skylight at the PKW offices, right at the heart of the whare.

“The skylight itself also gives us a link between Rangi and Papa and a connection to our tūpuna. It’s actually a very powerful thing to stand beneath it and look up,” says Mitchell Ritai, General Manager of Shareholder Engagement. “When we began talking about what we could do with the space, creating something meaningful for both those who work here and our whānau was central to the design. I am very pleased that we achieved that.”

The design was developed in partnership with iStudios over six months in a project that had two main aims.

“We wanted to be able to visualise our vision, mission and values, and recognise our original shareholders in a way that would resonate with everyone who saw it,” says Mitchell.

“The result represents our sense of whanaungatanga perfectly.”

Since it was installed in February, the depth of visitors’ reactions has been surprising, with some shedding emotional tears as they search for, and find, their whānau names.

“Creating the image of maunga Taranaki positioned exactly where the mountain sits certainly adds to the impact of the names,” says Mitchell. “As a people, we are of eight iwi and of three waka and are brought together under one maunga so it was very appropriate to include it.”

Photographs of the first committee of management who led PKW through its early days, helping to make the land productive for the benefit of everyone, have also been put up on the whare walls to acknowledge their contribution to the Incorporation, along with the PKW mission and vision statements.

Sheree Anaru, iStudios Project Manager, says they have been touched by the response to the design.

“It was a real privilege to work on this project with PKW,” she adds. “We are very proud that we helped the team to encapsulate the values, beliefs and concepts that are so important to them and put them into something that has such an impact.”

“Our values are central to the mahi that is done here,” says Mitchell. “Having these visual reminders of why our incorporation exists, for our owners and shareholders, helps us to remember just how important they are.”

“...creating something meaningful for both those who work here and our whānau was central to the design.

I am very pleased that we achieved that.”

Whenua is when I return to my whānau. The roots into the ground.

We look after nearly 100,000 hectares of Māori land on behalf of over 97,000 owners. But we only have 60% of the contact details for owners that we need. This means that over 30,000 owners are losing a connection to their whenua. We need your help to locate owners so we can invite them to hui, pay them any funds we hold for them, and understand their aspirations for the whenua.

Who is Te Tumu Paeroa

We support Māori land owners to protect and enhance their land – for now and generations to come.

Maintain your connection. If you or your whānau have new contact details, please let us know.

USING SCIENCE TO RECONNECT

Parininihi ki Waitotara (PKW) has teamed up with two universities to investigate and develop ways to find more than 5,000 of its missing shareholders.

The Incoporation currently has 10,300 shareholders but it only holds the contact details for 45% of them, according to Mitchell Ritai, PKW General Manager Shareholder Engagement.

“While several organisations throughout the country are working on developing solutions, PKW is the first to use the National Science Challenge’s Science for Technological Innovation challenge as a platform to achieve such a solution,” says Mitchell.

“It is so important that we connect with those shareholders to help them with issues around land succession,

opportunities for economic development, maintenance of whānau relationships and distribution of the $4.7 million we currently hold in unclaimed dividends”.

From housing to healthcare and environmental sustainability, the National Science Challenge aims to tackle the biggest issues and opportunities facing Aotearoa. The initiative also brings together the country’s top scientists to work collaboratively across disciplines, institutions and borders to achieve their objectives.

Mitchell said it was exciting to have both the University of Auckland and

Victoria University of Wellington support PKW with the project.

“Each university is taking a totally different approach with Auckland looking at an analytics approach and Victoria looking at a social network approach.”

The analytics approach has developed data mining tools using novel name-matching algorithms to search a range of data sources to make connections and reveal patterns. This was supported with a new optical character recognition tool to digitise poor quality records.

“Auckland University is investigating the development of innovative tools

that will allow us to automatically search for our missing shareholders and provide a certain level of validity that it may be the same person we are looking for. PKW then utilise this information to reach out to this person to confirm they are who we are looking for and then we can re-connect them back to the kaupapa of PKW.

“And rather than us entering 5,000 names manually, the tools they have developed will do this automatically and work throughout the day and night.”

Victoria University are focusing on social network analysis approach modelling whānau and hapū relationships through a communitybased lens to connect large data sets for use in prototypes using interactive tools.

“Victoria has adopted the approach that everyone is not really lost or missing, that they all belong to the PKW community but for one reason or another we have lost contact. Their approach crunches enormous data sets that provide another layer of

data analysis that helps to verify an individual” Mitchell said.

The project is at the end of its first phase and has been recently approved to transition into the next phase of development for another three years. Prototypes have been developed and are being tested, but there is still more work to do.

“This is a six year project that will hopefully provide us with a solution that will benefit every generation of PKW shareholders into the future.” says Mitchell.

Earlier this year, PKW engaged RereNo-A-Rangi Pope, who is completing a Masters Degree in Software Development from Victoria University, as an intern to develop a small-scale solution.

“I was asked to develop a web app to support kaimahi in the PKW office who deal with the shareholder register,” said Rere-No-A-Rangi.

The opportunity also allowed the 25-year-old to reconnect with his iwi, Ngāruahine, who he descends from through his mother.

“I’ve always been passionate about solving problems using technology and the internship allowed me to get back to where my mum comes from, so I am really honoured to have been able to help my people.”

Rere-No-A-Rangi said he was excited about the larger project to find missing shareholders because it would benefit not just Taranaki and Whanganui whānau but Māori throughout the world.

“This project is huge and could be extremely beneficial for te ao Māori. It’s exciting times.”

A reminder that shareholders who would like a hard copy of the 2019 Annual Report must now order a copy by contacting PKW.

We also discuss key strategic developments and provide information on those who received a scholarship or grant from the PKW Trust.

What makes this report exciting and uniquely Taranaki is that it includes many photos of whānau, mokopuna and events during this period.

KEEPING IT IN THE WHĀNAU

Parininihi ki Waitotara land owners worried about their shares getting smaller as their family grows are being encouraged to form a whānau trust.

“When individuals succeed to shares of a loved one they may be split between multiple people, usually the children of the loved one,” says PKW Advisor Shareholder Engagement, Adrian Poa.

“So while the whanau grows in numbers, their shares get smaller and smaller as every new generation succeeds to their interest. It’s what we call fragmentation - the continual reduction of land interests.

“Under fragmentation we’ve seen many situations where siblings become upset because they each now receive much less in a dividend than what their parent was getting. And most of the time, those payouts are very minimal.”

Adrian advises families to set up a whānau trust and said he had seen many cases of collective benefits as a result of this approach being adopted.

“I’ve seen whānau trusts use their dividends to pay for all members of their family to have wānanga every year. I’ve also seen some whānau trusts ease the pressure on their

beneficiaries when it comes to things like tangihanga costs.”

To help shareholders find out more about whānau trusts, PKW encourages them to contact Adrian at their office for advice. PKW will also reimburse the $60 fee they will be charged by the Māori Land Court to form a whānau trust.

Ensuring that there are good relationships between enough of the family members was also important, Adrian said.

“There are dynamics in every family so the first thing the shareholder or beneficiary must do before they apply to the court is call a whānau meeting. They can also put forward trustees at that meeting.

“Trustees don’t always have to be the mums and dads or aunties and uncles. They can also be the children and nieces and nephews so long as they are all adults.”

The law governing whānau trusts, Te Ture Whenua Māori Act, also allows for whānau to appoint independent non-family members as trustees.

Every beneficiary of a whānau trust registered with PKW still has access to its grants, so long as their applications are endorsed by their whānau trustees or another PKW shareholder.

“Beneficiaries can still access all our grants and attend our meetings. The only thing beneficiaries can’t do that shareholders can is vote because the shares are held by the whānau,” Adrian said.

“I’ve seen whānau trusts use their dividends to pay for all members of their family to have wānanga every year.”

SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT IN SEARCH FOR A SOLUTION

Tazmyn Katene-Ashford is very clear about what direction she is taking in life – she is heading straight for New Zealand’s prisons.

The first recipient of the PKW-Marsh Scholarship is determined to lead the kōrero she feels is essential to finding solutions for the issue of Māori overrepresentation in the criminal system.

“I look at the statistics, the prison rates, the criminal convictions and I think ‘what is happening to us?’” she says. “At the moment, the assumption is that being Māori is where the problem lies, but I believe that Māori also hold the solution – we just need to talk and hear the stories so we know what needs to be done.”

Tazmyn (Ngāruahine, Ngāti Ruanui and Ngāti Toa Rangatira) is Taranaki born and bred, raised and nurtured by many whanuanga between Pātea and Manaia. Her mother Nanci-Lee Katene is a PKW shareholder.

While she was pushed into the mainstream education-wise, she had the privilege to learn tikanga Māori through her whānau at local iwi, hapū and marae activities, where Tazmyn was keen to get involved.

“I’ve always enjoyed being out the back in the kitchen with all the aunties,” she laughs. “You learn everything out there, hear all the stories and the gossip.”

“They think that all the talk out front makes the decisions – it’s not, it’s the aunties doing the washing-up who decide!”

While at high school, Tazmyn regularly volunteered her time and services at local kaumātua days or Rangatahi/ Tamariki Activity Days.

With a community ethos like that, it’s no surprise that this vivacious wahine wants to do something with her life to help her people.

“I have always wanted to study something like forensic or criminal psychology so I can help to find the solutions that will keep Māori out of prisons and contributing to their communities,” she says.

Currently studying Psychology and Criminal Justice at Victoria University

in Wellington, Tazmyn was overwhelmed when she received the call to say she had won the $2,500 scholarship.

“I couldn’t believe it, I kept asking if they had the right person,” she says. “It’s going to make such a difference to me. I found my first year of uni really hard.”

“The change of lifestyle from country kid to city slicker was overwhelming and I found the expense of living in the city a real eye-opener.”

“This year I have been able to bring new focus to my studies and the scholarship will make a real difference, both financially and educationally.

“I would like to say thank you to Parininihi ki Waitotara Trust and Marsh Insurance, on behalf of both myself and my family, for providing me with this opportunity. Also, I would like to acknowledge the many people who have supported, helped and guided

me throughout my life to get me where I am, words cannot express my gratitude to each and every one of you.”

Tazmyn intends to complete her undergraduate studies in two years’ time and then embark on a postgraduate qualification on forensic psychology before hopefully working for the Ministry of Justice in some capacity.

She is also looking forward to the practical experience she will gain when she carries out a four- to sixweek internship with Marsh in the future.

“Gaining some real-life work experience will be invaluable and I am looking forward to learning more about the insurance industry,” she says.

The scholarship was created as part of the new strategic procurement

process which asks suppliers how they can add value to the partnership. It consists of a $2500 annual grant and internship opportunity.

“When considering the applicants for this opportunity, Tazmyn stood out for her contribution to her community and the fact she was keen to pursue a career that not many of our people go into,” says Mitchell Ritai, PKW General Manager Shareholder Engagement.

“She demonstrated her passion for helping her people and her dedication to her goals.”

“As the world’s leading business and risk advisor we are involved in a range of areas including risk, insurance, engineering, human resources, finance, and legal and compliance and we are looking forward to be able to give Tazmyn an insight into all these areas during her internship,” says Kevin Kerr, Taranaki Regional

Manager at Marsh “Our People side of the business, which deals with health and wellness, ACC claims management and return to work, may be of special interest as they are particularly relevant to her areas of study.

“We are pleased to be involved in Tazmyn’s continued development.”

“I would like to say thank you to Parininihi ki Waitotara Trust and Marsh Insurance, on behalf of both myself and my family, for providing me with this opportunity.”
