'Nobody's child' – despite a compelling case for reform, NZ's adoption laws remain stuck in the past

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, August 8, 2023

Despite some significant progress, the Ministry of Justice has revised its timeline for delivering final proposals from the first half of this year to “in due course”.

Key Points: 
  • Despite some significant progress, the Ministry of Justice has revised its timeline for delivering final proposals from the first half of this year to “in due course”.
  • This means there is still no clear end in sight to what has already been a prolonged and frustrating process.
  • Most importantly, those touched by adoption – including extended families – continue to feel the enduring effects of the antiquated and outmoded Adoption Act 1955.
  • Some estimates suggest upwards of two million New Zealanders may have a direct link to adoption within their extended family.

Legal fictions

    • Legal adoption emerged in Aotearoa in the 1880s as a response to the growing problem of children born out of wedlock.
    • Closed adoption went a step further, attempting to legitimise the illegitimate child through a kind of legal fiction.
    • And in 2000, the Law Commission found the legal fiction of closed adoption was “a repugnant and unnecessary distortion of reality”.

A history of inaction

    • In the past 40 years there have been six formal reviews, two select committees, four cabinet committees and a draft bill.
    • Social work practice has also become more open, enabling birth parents, adoptive parents and the adopted child to be known to each other.
    • Taken together, these changes have reduced the all-encompassing impact once envisaged for adoption law reform.

The adoption paradox

    • Given this, the question must be asked whether the ministry is the right agency to lead adoption reform.
    • Ultimately, however, there is an unfortunate paradox at the centre of this issue.
    • Adoption reform pits the interests of some against others – typically, those who have been wronged by adoption, and those who want to adopt but fear reform will make the process even more difficult.

How board games can get people involved in climate action

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, August 1, 2023

When we see these disasters on the news, it’s clear we need to take action on climate change now.

Key Points: 
  • When we see these disasters on the news, it’s clear we need to take action on climate change now.
  • Tabletop games (board games, card games, role-playing games – anything that can be played around a table) have a unique ability to engage players in complex systems.
  • Games engage our brains in a different way than just hearing news about climate disasters.
  • Climate crisis games pull you into possible futures where our real-life choices shape our current and future climate.

Education and motivation

    • Our goal was to make a fun game that could also help players understand the complicated problem of climate change.
    • Like choosing between energy sources that are cheaper right now versus ones that are better for the environment long-term.
    • This allowed us to reach a broad audience and spark conversations about the climate crisis in a new and engaging way.
    • As we face the urgent challenges ahead, I believe that such games can play a crucial role in fostering understanding, dialogue and action.

The ‘magic circle’ and climate action

    • In the context of the climate crisis, the magic circle can serve as a powerful tool.
    • It enables the simulation of climate crisis impacts and the testing of various strategies to help reduce those impacts.
    • This can foster empathy and understanding around the climate crisis.

Games as catalysts for action

    • Games can serve as a potent tool for instilling the notion of taking effective action when it comes to climate issues.
    • Crucially, games create a sense of agency, showing players that their actions can make a difference – especially when they combine their efforts.
    • By exploring these fast-approaching realities, games can motivate players to come up with real-world climate solutions, and to really think about how personal and collective actions can contribute.
