6 Acknowledgements
The Ōtara-Papatoetoe
Local Board acknowledged:
Victoria Taupa’u JP
Victoria passed away on 12 August, losing
her brief fight against cancer. Victoria was a proud resident of Ōtara and was a staunch advocate, supporting her community for many
years. Victoria has led initiatives with community groups to reach our whanau
directly in all four corners of Ōtara, especially
during the pandemic, raising the low numbers of Maori/Pasifika vaccination.
Victoria founded #INSPIRE to empower our vulnerable youth through events,
activities, programmes and initiatives. She led many of the work programme
lines for the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board,
including facilitating our youth council, also known as TOP Squad – The Ōtara-Papatoetoe Squad. Victoria was a stalwart for the Church of Latter
Day Saints in Ōtara. We pray for comfort over
Victoria’s family during this time.
Shilohm Vaeluaga Filipi
Shilohm was crowned Miss Samoa New Zealand
earlier this month, when the Samoan community gathered for the pageant in
Mangere. The event also marked the anticipated return of the Miss Samoa New
Zealand pageant which had been postponed for two years since the COVID-19
lockdowns. Shilohm is a 22 year old, Papatoetoe resident, who works at a local
Early Childhood Education centre – Taeaofou i Puaseisei Aoga Amata.
Shilohm will travel to Samoa next month to compete against contestants from
across the world, for the title of Miss Samoa. The Miss Samoa pageant’s
winners expected to emerge as role models for the younger generation, to
represent a variety of professions, attitudes, skills and interests and also to
be spokeswomen of the Samoan culture. We also acknowledge the ending reign of
the previous Miss Samoa New Zealand, Ōtara local,
Fonoifafo McFarland-Seumanu, who went on to win Miss Samoa, and then Miss South
Pacific. Congratulations to Shilohm and best wishes for the next stage of her
reign.
Tino Junior Poluleuligaga
Tino is stepping down as the Rugby
Development Officer (RDO) for the Papatoetoe Rugby Football Club, as he and his
family makes the move to Australia. Tino is a Manu Samoa rugby union
international player. He previously played for Exeter Chiefs in the Aviva
Premiers before returning to Auckland and played two years with Auckland rugby

made great changes during his time at the Papatoetoe Rugby Football Club,
helping it grow to the 5th largest club in the country with over 800
registered players. Thank you Tino for your service to rugby in Papatoetoe.

Smokefree Environments and Regulated
Products (Smoked Tobacco) Amendment Bill
|
|
|
Resolution
number OP/2022/122
MOVED by Chairperson R Autagavaia, seconded by Deputy
Chairperson D Trenberth:
That
the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local
Board:
a) provide the
following feedback comments on the Smokefree Environments and Regulated
Products (Smoked Tobacco) Amendment Bill draft submission:
i)
support the purpose
and intent of the Bill and the provisions, namely, Reduce smoked tobacco supply, Smokefree generation,
Nicotine removal in smoked tobacco
ii)
note that the
purpose of the Bill is aligned to the three-year Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local
Board Plan 2020 and its outcome of ‘A thriving, inclusive and safe
community’. A key outcome of the Plan is to “Promote safe
neighbourhoods, active living in family-friendly places and events that are
free of smoke, alcohol, vape and drugs
iii)
note that early
legislative action is essential to curtail proliferation of products that
increase the health risks in the local board area of Ōtara-Papatoetoe
iv)
highlight that the
topic is of serious concern to the board, noting that Māori and Pacific people have the highest overall smoking prevalence in Auckland and that our local board area is
made up of 16 per cent Māori
and 46 per cent Pacific
People. The Asian population in the Ōtara-Papatoetoe local board area is
increasing as well (35 per cent), and preventing health risks in this part of
our community is equally important for the local board
v)
believe that
proposed legislative measures are essential for the wellbeing of our
rangatahi. About 24 per cent of the local population are below 15 years
(Census 2018), and the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board support the intent
of the Bill as a timely framework to support young people to remain
smoke-free and to achieve better health outcomes for all
vi)
support the Bill by
amending the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990 and the
Customs and Excise Act 2018 in reducing retail availability in certain areas,
prohibiting sales of smoked tobacco and vaping products to anyone born on or
after 1 January 2009, and reducing the appeal and addictiveness of smoked
tobacco and vaping products
vii)
welcome
opportunities to partner on pilot initiatives funded by central government in
the local area to enable smoking cessation
viii)
support the idea of a
robust monitoring and evaluation framework to ensure the Bill is effective
and enables its implementation to be adjusted as necessary.
