After 50 years inside Gloriavale, one of the community s longest-serving members has her first job on the outside and is attempting to remove the leadership while still living within the compound.
At age 64, mother of 13 Sharon Ready has challenged the norm and defied the leaders by leaving the grounds of the secretive sect each day to work at an early childhood centre in Greymouth.

Ngāi Tahu is seeking a declaration of rangatiratanga over fresh water in its territories, which includes the Waimakariri River.
Ngāi Tahu’s Dr Te Maire Tau has called for fewer hui and more moral backbone from the Crown as a big North Island iwi player joins the South Island tribe s freshwater court action against the Crown. Tau, one of the iwi’s leaders, says the “problem of water” is caused by decades of governmental failure and that Ngāi Tahu expects some level of regulatory, economic and fiscal control over water. Last November, Ngāi Tahu lodged a claim in the High Court at Christchurch seeking recognition of its rangatiratanga over the freshwater in its tribal area. Last week Ngāti Kahungunu, the country’s third largest iwi covering parts of Hawke s Bay and Wairarapa, joined it in the action.

Ngāti Kahungunu has joined Ngāi Tahu in court action seeking to share control and management of freshwater with the Crown.
The iwi are working together to have Ngāti Kahungunu s rangatiratanga over freshwater recognised, including at the Mohaka River in Hawke s Bay.
Rangatiratanga over water means the local iwi has rights, responsibilities and obligations relating to the freshwater in its takiwā, including doing what it can to stop the degradation of waterways and the environment.
