OTAKAWHE AND OTHER SCENES. Grey stone beach at the end of a rough road, curve of a blue-green bay calm in fine May weather: it must be the stillness of stones, the peace of pohutukawas reclining on hip and elbow watching the tide.They balance the bustle, chatter of choices, thump of feet, voices in scales and chords, discords and harmony. A constant turbulence in and about the lodge, held in a cupped hand of hills and trees which hardly find a breath of breeze to move a leaf. And here we are to say much the same things to the same people, sing just the same songs to the same moon on another stage.Here, stones, sea and pohutukawa paint a new backdrop, make a new set to change familiar movements - even, once in a gin-and-tonic, provide new dialogue.

In focusing on meeting these objectives, the health and safety of police personnel from time to time is compromised from exposure to hazardous situations and environments. In order to develop and maintain effective strategies to minimise the frequency and consequence of workplace injuries, methodologies are required to measure and provide understanding as to the extent such injuries have on the organisation and individual officers. Current methods of measurement of workplace injuries fail to provide sufficient or accurate information to facilitate interpretation of the impact costs on the organisation and individuals. This issue and the deminished capacity of individual officers to measure and self assess performance pertaining to organisational objectives of productivity and health & safety owing to conflicting messages communicated by police " -- Abstract.
