title: Building cultural inclusion in sport: Insights from Muslim women in sport and active recreation

authors: Ahmad, Nida

abstract: Commissioned by Sport New Zealand, this report is the first to explore how Muslim women access sport and active recreation in Aotearoa New Zealand, and the challenges in doing so. We recognize the importance of creating spaces for the voices and experiences of Muslim women themselves, as well as those involved in organizing sport and active recreation with Muslim women participants. This report highlights the key themes that emerged from the conversations with Muslim girls and women, and sports administrators, conducted in Auckland, Christchurch, Waikato and Wellington between June - December 2019. It then offers recommendations for building a more culturally inclusive sporting sector.

title: The effect of trifluoromethyl groups in the para positions of a perfluoroaryl phosphine: A comparison of the structures of [{η⁵,κP-C₅Me₄CH₂C₆F₃X-5-P(C₆F₄X-4)-2-CH₂P(C₆F₄X-4)₂}RhCl₂], X = F and CF₃

authors: Saunders, Graham C.

subjects: Bis{bis(4-trifluoromethyltetrafluorophenyl)}phosphino}methane

abstract: The complex [{η⁵,κP-C₅Me₄CH₂C₆F₃CF₃-5-P(C₆F₄CF₃-4)-2-CH₂P(C₆F₄CF₃-4)₂}RhCl₂] (2) was formed by dehydrofluorinative carbon–carbon coupling in the reaction between bis{bis(4-trifluoromethyltetrafluorophenyl)phosphino}methane and [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)RhCl(μ-Cl)]₂. The structure of 2 has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and compared to that of the pentafluorophenyl analogue [{η⁵,κP-C₅Me₄CH₂C₆F₄P(C₆F₅)-2-CH₂P(C₆F₅)₂}RhCl₂] (3). The presence of the trifluoromethyl groups, although not affecting the local structure about rhodium, disrupts the packing and consequently the structure of the two complexes is very different. The structure of 2 contains channels about 3-fold axes comprising fluoroaryl cavities separated by aliphatic constrictions arising from hexagonal rings of alternating enantiomers.

title: The Māori precariat: A silhouette

authors: Stubbs, Thomas

abstract: Recent financial crises and a host of punitive labour and welfare reforms have intensified socio-economic divisions across advanced nations. In Aotearoa New Zealand, the indigenous Maori peoples are subject to systemic labour market disadvantages, and are thus more likely to be affected by increased inequalities in times of economic downturn. Despite the legacies of systematic economic exclusion and discrimination in the economy, the majority of Maori demonstrate a resounding level of social resilience in the face of this hostile context. Even so, there is evidence to suggest that an unacceptable number of Maori still struggle to overcome these challenges. For instance, 13.0 per cent of Maori are in temporary work compared to 8.2 per cent of Pakeha,1 and 12.4 per cent of Maori are experiencing unemployment against 4.4 per cent. of Pakeha.2 These trends contribute to a range of socio-economic challenges, to which mainstream and Maori service providers are struggling to respond.
In this chapter, we develop a demographic silhouette to seek an understanding of socio-economically marginalised - or 'precariat' - Maori. Although we are wary of portraying Maori in an unduly negative light, we also submit that an appreciation of the extent of the issues faced by this group is necessary if our analysis is to be useful in the development of an effective response. We begin by defining the precariat. Using data obtained from Statistics New Zealand's Te Kupenga survey of Maori wellbeing, we then outline the prevalence and composition of the Maori precariat in Aotearoa New Zealand. Overall, we find that the Maori precariat comprises a substantial portion of the Maori population, particularly among females, younger age groups, and those with low or no qualifications. They are predominantly located-in regions that have high levels of seasonal employment, and in more deprived areas. We also find the value attached to Maori culture and experiences of stigma for this group are, for the most part, similar to those among the Maori non-precariat.
