      and er i've i've always found it er er <,> we've never had any
      <,> er problems with our neighbours and er um <,>

  <WSC#DPP007:0050:LM>
      and as i say we you know i've found er the majority of people
      that i've come in contact with <,> or my family has <,> <.>y</.>
      you know <,> they've always been er friendly and <,> very
      helpful you know

  <WSC#DPP007:0055:LM>
      oh sorry <,,><&>4</&>

  <WSC#DPP007:0060:IR>
      oh yeah

  <WSC#DPP007:0065:LM>
      <O>clears throat</O>

  <WSC#DPP007:0070:IR>
      um <,> what sort of <.>ch</.> do you think there what sort of
      are there any changes you'd like to see

  <WSC#DPP007:0075:LM>
      in porirua itself

  <WSC#DPP007:0080:IR>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPP007:0085:LM>
      <drawls>er</drawls> <,,><&>3</&> <.>yeah</.> um <,,> yeah i
      suppose if you really sat down <.>e</.> <.>e</.> <.>e</.> er

  <WSC#DPP007:0090:LM>
      what do you <&>16:00</&> mean in in the <,,> facilities and er
      and <{><[>and</[> whatsaname

  <WSC#DPP007:0095:IR>
      <[>yeah</[></{>

  <WSC#DPP007:0100:IR>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPP007:0105:LM>
      <drawls>yeah</drawls> i think perhaps one of the one of the
      <drawls>er <,> er</drawls> <,> things that i would have like to
      have seen was a er i think they put too many of the <,,> you
      know these ethnic groups together <.>a</.> <.>a</.> all together

  <WSC#DPP007:0110:LM>
      <{><[>i think</[> i think they should have had them more <,>
      sort of spread out a bit eh you know <,> um <,,> that's what i
      would of liked to have seen

  <WSC#DPP007:0115:IR>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPP007:0120:IR>
      mm

  <WSC#DPP007:0125:LM>
      you know and um <,> and i think that the these a lot of these
      ethnic groups that are coming in <,> um <,> i don't think
      they've been er properly prepared to come in through this <,>
      you know from coming from the islands

  <WSC#DPP007:0130:IR>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPP007:0135:LM>
      you know and once they get here of course they um <,> as i say
      they're not properly sort of trained you know in our in the
      western way of life i suppose you could say

  <WSC#DPP007:0140:LM>
      and consequently of course when they come here they find it
      <&>17:00</&> difficult you know and er

  <WSC#DPP007:0145:LM>
      and i don't think they've given them you know they're giving
      them enough time to sort of adapt <,> to how things are here

  <WSC#DPP007:0150:LM>
      <{1><[1>oh</[1> i i mean it's just like um you know i've had er
      relatives come from home you know from gisborne eh come into a
      big city like this <,>

  <WSC#DPP007:0155:LM>
      it was bad enough because even though they lived in new zealand
      <,> er you know <O>laughs</O> <laughs>i <.>ha</.></laughs> hate
      to be some of these people who come from out of new zealand and
      dumped into you know especially places like <{2><[2>here

  <WSC#DPP007:0160:LM>
      and</[2> er you know and we tend we tend to run them down you
      know er <,> a lot of people they you know

  <WSC#DPP007:0165:LM>
      but to be fair on them er i think you know a lot of them are
      sort of thrown into the deep end and <{3><[3>er</[3> you know
      you've sort of got to <,> er whatsaname you know help yourself
      more or less

  <WSC#DPP007:0170:IR>
      <[1>yeah</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPP007:0175:IR>
      <[2>yeah <?>yeah</?></[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPP007:0180:IR>
      <[3>yeah</[3></{3>

  <WSC#DPP007:0185:IR>
      hmm

  <WSC#DPP007:0190:LM>
      and um <,> and i think it's happened too fast there's too many
      of them you know MYSELF this is my own personal <{><[><?>thing</?></[>

  <WSC#DPP007:0195:IR>
      <[>yeah</[></{> oh true <&>18:00</&>

  <WSC#DPP007:0200:LM>
      you know <,,> er <,>

  <WSC#DPP007:0205:LM>
      any facilities you would add? <drawls>er <,,> well</drawls> you
      see i think they've added a lot of facilities since <.>my</.>
      since we were young because now they've opened up all of the
      school grounds <,>

  <WSC#DPP007:0210:LM>
      see one time you weren't allowed to walk through school grounds
      you could be prosecuted

  <WSC#DPP007:0215:IR>
      is that right

  <WSC#DPP007:0220:LM>
      yeah it was trespassing

  <WSC#DPP007:0225:LM>
      they had notices you know actually <,> um <,,> yeah actually <,>
      actually yeah they they used used to be a common sight you know
      <?>er</?> <,> trespassers will <{1><[1>be prosecuted and of
      course</[1> <,> er er school property

  <WSC#DPP007:0230:LM>
      but now you know i went past one of these schools and they're
      all playing touch rugby which is a good thing

  <WSC#DPP007:0235:LM>
      i i think that's <,> that's an added facility in <{2><[2>the</[2>
      south where we had it in our day but er <.>y</.> <{3><[3>you you
      you</[3> no you couldn't use it you know it wasn't made <{4><[4>available</[4>
      to you and consequently of course these things used to
      <&>19:00</&> sit there from <O>inhales</O> <drawls>oh</drawls>
      friday till monday or whatever you <{5><[5>know</[5> and <?>no</?>
      that was taboo you know <,>

  <WSC#DPP007:0240:LM>
      so um <,> i think that's a good thing

  <WSC#DPP007:0245:LM>
      <{6><[6><drawls>um</drawls></[6> course <,> like like everything
      else course you know it just takes the odd one to to sort of
      muck it up you know they er

  <WSC#DPP007:0250:IR>
      <[1>yeah oh wow</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPP007:0255:IR>
      <[2>yeah</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPP007:0260:IR>
      <[3>couldn't use it</[3></{3>

  <WSC#DPP007:0265:IR>
      <[4>yeah</[4></{4>

  <WSC#DPP007:0270:IR>
      <[5>yeah</[5></{5>

  <WSC#DPP007:0275:IR>

  <WSC#DPP007:0280:IR>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPP007:0285:LM>

      they're only cutting their own throat really <latch>

  <WSC#DPP007:0290:IR>
      yeah <latch>

  <WSC#DPP007:0295:LM>
      you know <,> um <,> so that's a facility i think we've GAINED
      not only here <,> but i think in a lot of them you know <{1><[1>throughout</[1>

  <WSC#DPP007:0350:LM>
      i've always been one a great <,> great believer in um you know
      building one church and everybody uses it <{1><[1>you</[1> know

      one one you <{2><[2>you you know what i mean</[2> <,> sort of

      any problems <&>21:00</&> with with porirua

  <WSC#DPP007:0430:LM>
      a lot of people don't like um <,>

  <WSC#DPP007:0435:LM>
      a lot of people seem to think it's er <,> just cos we got a
      mental hospital here <,> that everybody here is mad

  <WSC#DPP007:0440:IR>
      <O>laughs</O> <{><[><O>laughs</O></[>

  <WSC#DPP007:0445:LM>

      still sticks today <?>in <{4><[4>the</?> to a real lot of</[4>
      people you know <,>

  <WSC#DPP007:0475:LM>
      which is a shame really because um <O>clears throat</O> <O>tut</O>

      know</[5> wherever you live <latch>

  <WSC#DPP007:0480:IR>

  <WSC#DPP007:0530:IR>
      yeah <latch>

  <WSC#DPP007:0535:LM>
      and i think you get a lot of satisfaction out of <,> er working
      for things you know instead of <,> being given to you you know
      <,>

  <WSC#DPP007:0540:LM>
      like i notice the difference now doing the milk run eh

  <WSC#DPP007:0545:LM>
      you <.>s</.> i see a lot of young couples come in <,> into
      houses <,> new houses eh <,>

  <WSC#DPP007:0550:LM>
      you want to see the stuff coming off the trucks man <,> <&>sucks
      in breath</&> you know they've got everything eh <,>

  <WSC#DPP007:0555:LM>
      <.>an</.> and they're only young you know might be early
      twenties and the girl or wife might only be <.>eigh</.> <.>eigh</.>
      nineteen or you know round about that age but they got
      everything <,>

  <WSC#DPP007:0560:LM>

  <WSC#DPP007:0570:LM>
      behave yourself yeah <,>

  <WSC#DPP007:0575:LM>
      so you <{4><[4>know</[4> <,> <.>s</.> er different things it's
      <,,> <?>old</?> ideas and new ideas and <&>23:00</&> <,,>
      <mumbles>you know</mumbles> <,,>

  <WSC#DPP007:0580:LM>

  <WSC#DPP007:0595:LM>
      er <,> i can't say i'm <,> satisfied with all my children you
      know um because i think most parents um <,> like their children
      to you know to do well

  <WSC#DPP007:0600:LM>
      i think that's that's the aim of of all parents i suppose

  <WSC#DPP007:0605:LM>
      and er you know some of the things they do <,> er sort of
      saddens you a bit at times

  <WSC#DPP007:0610:LM>
      but um overall we're lucky <{6><[6>you</[6> know they haven't

      you know doing HARM to other people <,>

  <WSC#DPP007:0655:LM>
      most of the harm and the silly things that are done is is er to
      themselves really

  <WSC#DPP007:0660:IR>
      yeah
