Biography
Dreaver was born on Banaba, a coral atoll in Kiribati. Her mother, Lavinia, was from Banaba and her father, Peter, was a schoolteacher from New Zealand, stationed on the atoll as an adult education officer under the Volunteer Service Abroad scheme.[2][3] The family moved to the main island of Tarawa when she was young, and when she was 10 years old, moved to New Zealand.[4]
Dreaver studied education at the University of Auckland, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree. She then completed a Pacific Island journalism course at Manukau Institute of Technology, but struggled to find work in journalism in New Zealand.[4] In 1990, she moved to Rarotonga and began her career in journalism as a reporter with the Cook Islands News. She later co-owned and edited a weekly newspaper, Cook Islands Press. In 1998, she returned to New Zealand and worked as a business columnist and freelance feature writer for the New Zealand Listener, National Business Review and Radio New Zealand.[5] In 2002, she started working for TVNZ and in 2003 became the network's Pacific correspondent.[6]
In December 2008, Dreaver was detained and deported from Fiji after her reporting offended the regime of dictator Frank Bainimarama.[7][8] Journalists were subsequently required to seek permission to enter Fiji.[9] The ban was lifted in October 2016.[10]
In September 2018, Dreaver was arrested in Nauru and stripped of her media accreditation for the Pacific Islands Forum meeting after interviewing refugees held at the Nauru Regional Processing Centre.[11][12][13]
In 2020, Dreaver created a two-year training programme through the Pacific Cooperation Broadcasting Ltd to support new Pacific journalists across the Pacific region. In 2022, she was appointed a member of the Establishment Board for the Aotearoa New Zealand Public Media body.[14]
Awards and honours
In 2019, Dreaver won two awards at New Zealand's Voyager Media Awards for her coverage of the 2019 Samoa measles outbreak: Best TV/Video News Item and Best Coverage of a Major News Event.[15] In November 2022, she was named Reporter of the Year at the New Zealand Television Awards.[5]
In the 2024 New Year Honours, Dreaver was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to investigative journalism and Pacific communities.[14]
