The increased use of te reo Māori by the government and the corporate sector in Aotearoa has created numerous opportunities for te reo translators who are engaged to translate voluminous te reo Māori documents, websites and apps, digital and social media messages and public signage which have been proliferated in recent times. These translation works represent significant economic activity as te reo Māori translators are awarded contracts valued at thousands of dollars. The economic eco-system created by the increased opportunities in the use of te reo Māori translation is a dynamic one that requires detailed study and attention from te reo scholars given the need for quality assurance and maintenance of the standards of the language. To set the backdrop for the paper a literature review on the history and development of te reo Māori translation will be presented. The historical antecedents of the te reo Māori translation economy will be traced and highlighted as the springboard for the current state of the te reo Māori translation economy which will then be discussed. An in-depth analysis of the licensing process for te reo Māori translators will be presented and arguments for an expanded role of Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori in providing oversight of translation contracts will be made. We will present a theoretical framework for the economic considerations surrounding the te reo Māori translation ecosystem and provide a narrative and schematic description of a te reo Māori translator's work as a paid economic activity. In doing this we shed light on the growing economic importance of te reo Māori.

Masked: A portrait of Amazon is a social documentary of the COVID 19 Pandemic. Recorded through a typology of 136 masked portraits of Amazon Associates at Amazon's MAN 3 Fulfillment Center In the North West of England. Associates participated with written comments about the personal impact of the pandemic. The portraits sit alongside the artists reflection and interpretation of the personal impact and experiences of the pandemic and Lockdown explored through a series of performative portraits and still life photographs of the 64 face masks and ephemera I was provided with whilst working at Amazon. The typology of 136 portraits comprises of associates from over 25 different nationalities. Participants had worked at Amazon from as little as 2 days, to as much as four years. Each participant was asked to write down two ways they had been affected personally by COVID 19 and Lockdown. This ranged from missing the gym, to close family members dying from COVID-19. The opportunity to document participants' thoughts and feelings gives control of the narrative to the individual participants offering a different agenda to that of the media and politicians, creating a record of people in their own words.

AbstractMental health has been a focus of over 200 journal articles using the HILDA Survey data. This brief review provides an overview of the mental health data collected through the HILDA Survey, and discusses the potential reasons why HILDA Survey data have been used so frequently in mental health research. We reflect on how the HILDA Survey data have: provided insights into the profile of mental health in the Australian community, illustrated the importance of social ties for mental health and enabled investigation of social inequalities in mental health.

Despite growing interest and concern about men's mental health during the perinatal period, we still do not know whether men are more vulnerable to mental health problems during this time. The current study is one of the first to use longitudinal, population-based data to investigate whether becoming an expectant and/or new father is associated with increases in psychological distress. We analyzed 10 waves of data collected annually (from 2001 to 2010) from the nationally representative Household, Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. Over this time, 349 men were identified as new fathers (first child aged <1 year), and 224 of these men had been identified as "expectant fathers" during the previous wave. A total of 1,658 men remained "never fathers." Psychological distress was measured using the 5-item Mental Health Inventory before the partner's pregnancy, during the partner's pregnancy, and during the first year of fatherhood. Longitudinal mixed models showed no significant increase in psychological distress as a function of expectant or new fatherhood; instead, some improvement in mental health was observed. The finding suggests that expectant and new fathers are not at greater risk of poor mental health. Future epidemiologic research should continue to identify those men who are most (and least) at risk during the perinatal period in order to target resources and assistance most effectively. ; This work was supported by a 2011 beyondblue (Australia) national priority-driven research grant (grant LEAC11NPD), funded by the Movember Foundation. S.C.O. and L.S.L. are funded by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (early career fellowships 1035690 and 1035803, respectively). The Household, Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia Project was initiated and is funded by the Australian Government Department of Families, Housing, Community Services, and Indigenous Affairs and is managed by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research.
