The long-awaited film adaptation of the beloved Patricia Grace novel
Cousins is out now and in celebration of this extraordinary film, Emma Clifton talks to lead actor Ana Scotney about the universal nature of the film’s themes and how familial love can help heal the intergenerational effects of trauma. Ana Scotney (Ngāi Tūhoe, Ngāti Tāwhaki Ki Ngaputahi) is beaming, via Zoom, from her art-filled van, plonked by the Wellington Harbour, her hair still damp from her morning swim. If you, like me, were already impressed by someone swimming in the last gasps of summer, in a city not known for a warm climate, then you’ll also be impressed to know that Ana is actually part of the ‘Washing Machines’, a legendary Wellington swimming club that swims every single day throughout the year.

Cousins (PG, 98 mins) Directed by Ainsley Gardiner, Briar Grace-Smith ½ As the final frames of this lovingly crafted drama unspool, there’s a dedication to three Māori women – Merata Mita, Irihapeti Ramsden and Nancy Brunning. Mita was the pioneering Māori film-maker who first wanted to turn Patricia Grace’s 1992 novel into a movie. Ramsden was a nurse, anthropologist and writer who worked to improve health outcomes for Māori people. And Brunning was the influential actor, writer and director who surely would have been a part of this project had cancer not taken her before her time in late 2019.
Owning a home provides security that no amount of rental law cannot.
The trouble is that house prices do not reflect the cost of owning a home. They reflect the cost of the expected medium-term capital gains (post bright-line). It wasn t a problem when they reflected the expected gains upon retirement and downsizing, but now who honestly expects to be in that house for thirty years? Or do they
expect to flip it in ten years or so?

Agree with the security bit. I ve seen the pro s and cons of home ownership debated at length in New Zealand literature. They re pretty even.
