DAISY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Police say Mid Cantabrians should be feeling safer after the number of criminal prosecutions heard in the Ashburton District Court fell to their lowest number since 2003. A change in police attitudes, a falling crime rate, and an increase in the number of pre-charge warnings are all believed to have contributed to the decrease, which saw the number of prosecutions drop by 28 per cent in the year

ending June 2015. Figures released by Statistics New Zealand show 790 criminal cases were heard in the Ashburton District Court last year, with 597 of those resulting in convictions. That was a significant drop from 2013, when 1107 cases were heard. Mid/South Canterbury area commander inspector Dave Gaskin said there had been an attitude shift among police staff regarding prevention and other methods of dealing with offend-

ers, which was starting to show positive results. “There are alternative ways to deal with people, rather than putting them in front of the criminal justice system,” he said. That included pre-charge warnings and police diversion. “It is a good result, there’s no doubt,” he said.

Bolt caught in steamy video

A steamy new video has emerged of star Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt pouring cash over an exotic dancer on the stage of a Miami strip joint. The 29-year-old Jamaican and six-time gold medal winner was celebrating rapper Lil Wayne’s birthday. The footage, obtained by TNZ, shows Bolt getting hands-on with dancer, slapping her from behind while he watches her twerk. Britain’s Daily Mail reported that Bolt is known as a ladies’ man, although he keeps his personal life private. Bolt has been linked to women in the past, but is thought to now be single, the newspaper reported. Bolt has previously spoken about worries that women may not act genuinely towards him because of his status.

Afﬂeck no meathead – Damon Matt Damon felt sorry for best pal Ben Affleck when he started dating Jennifer Lopez, because the media made him look like “a meathead”. Affleck and Lopez dated in the early part of the new century and they became engaged in 2002. The press dubbed them ‘Bennifer’ and poked fun at their romance and their flop film Gigli at every opportunity. Damon admits it was tough for him to see his friend go through that. “Ten years ago, the public image of him could not have been farther apart from who he actually is,” Damon told The Hollywood Reporter. “It was like he was being cast in a role, that he was a talentless kind of meathead, with his whole relationship with Jennifer Lopez. He just got cast as this person that he wasn’t. It was just really painful.”

Harry’s sexy beard British royal Prince Harry has stolen David Beckham’s crown as the sexiest celebrity beard-wearer. The prince sent his fans into a frenzy when he debuted his fashionable face fuzz in September at a special event to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Now a new survey has placed him at the top of a list of bearded male stars, ahead of last year’s winner Beckham and Hollywood hunk George Clooney. Actors Ben Affleck and Ryan Gosling round out the top five in the survey by the Crown Clinic hair transplant centre in Manchester, UK. “Prince Harry is a trendsetter for lots of men around the world and the reaction to his beard has been universally positive,” said Crown Clinic surgeon Asim Shahmalak. Male screen stars feature heavily in the rest of the top 10 – Hugh Jackman is sixth, Brad Pitt is eighth and Jake Gyllenhaal one place behind in ninth.

Presenter pleads for stolen photos TVNZ’s Lotto presenter has had her house robbed and among the items taken were pictures from her wedding and her twin girls’ early years. Sonia Gray posted on her Facebook page Wednesday morning that while those responsible were “welcome to keep the stuff ”, what she’s not coping so well with is the loss of her old computer, which had the photos on it. “I would desperately like this back,” she said. “It doesn’t really work anymore so it’s of no use to you.” She asked whoever may have it to just drop it off on her doorstep, “no questions asked”. “PS please don’t rob us again.” As well as her old computer, her TV, some clothes, all her skin products and all her jewellery was also stolen in the burglary on Tuesday. In a photo she posted she pointed out a couple of footprints left behind that she felt were synonymous with a size 10 men’s sneaker.

Downton Abbey spoiler Producers of hit drama Downton Abbey have accidentally revealed which characters are set to marry in season six. The top secret wedding ceremony was filmed at the village church in Bampton, Oxfordshire in July. After the shoot was over, a member of the public found the mocked up paperwork, including the order of service, opening prayers and vows, which reveals the shock plot line. “The cast and crew have gone to great lengths to hide the storylines. It seems a bit ridiculous that security measures could be put in place then someone just leaves an order of service lying around,” a source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper. The wedding is said to be in addition to the upcoming nuptials between butler Mr Carson, played by Jim Carter, and Phyllis Logan’s housekeeper character Mrs Hughes.

Holiday programme demand ‘really nuts’ By daisy HudsoN

ently near or at-capacity, Ms Richards did not believe there were enough childcare options available to cater for demand. “It’s really nuts the level of families who actually need support and care,” she said. Ashburton’s BASE Youth Centre manager Bexx Soper said the centre’s youth holiday programmes were also experiencing high demand. Because the centre’s programmes were targeted towards young people aged between 8 to 14, Ms Soper was struggling to point parents with younger children in the direction of suitable programmes. “I’ve had a lot of requests for younger children to come here,” she said. “I have actually been wondering where to send those parents with five or six-year-old kids.”

With the school holidays in full swing, concerns have been raised by stretched Ashburton holiday programme providers over the level of demand for local services. Children around the district have been making the most of the sunshine and heading to local holiday programmes to take part in everything from swimming to arts and crafts. However, some providers have questioned whether there are enough services to cater for the district’s growing childcare demands. Hit Play manager La Tisha Richards said the school holiday programme was completely booked out. “There’s heaps going on, we’re really busy,” she said. With programmes consist-

Around 100 farmers listened to Silver Fern Farms plead its case for Shanghai Maling’s $311 million offer in Ashburton earlier this week – with most appearing to share a reserved optimism for the deal. Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers meat and fibre vicechairman and SFF supplier Chris Allen attended the roadshow and said it was good to see the increased share price reflecting the new-found optimism among suppliers. “And hopefully the deal gets to go ahead.” Mr Allen said rationalisation of plants was “all part of the

solution going forward”. “But it’s pretty hard to address that with a stretched balance sheet and banks being pretty staunch about the way things are being run.” Controversy over the deal erupted again yesterday when Meat Industry Excellence (MIE) principle adviser Ross Hyland launched a missive at both SFF and Alliance Co-operatives, saying Newco (MIEs’ proposed merger of the two) was a cast-iron alternative but it, and at least one other New Zealand-based deal, was not presented by bankers and Goldman Sachs to SFF. “Newco is the only proposal that easily matches, if not

betters, the Shanghai Maling cash of $261 million. Of huge significance is that Newco ensures the retention of 100 per cent control with the existing farmer shareholders in both co-ops.” Although great for the troubled co-op in the short term, Mr Hyland termed the Chinese deal a “disaster” for New Zealand farmers in the long run. This followed South Otago farmer John Cochrane claiming a “white knight” would come forward to save the co-operative and keep it New Zealand owned by the end of the week. He and other farmers have urged suppliers to delay their voting until the offer emerged.

However, after attending the roadshow in Ashburton, Mr Allen didn’t believe the cash injection Shanghai Maling were proposing could be found within New Zealand. “We’ve been assured that 100 per cent New Zealand is what Shanghai Maling is after.” There needed to be more value added to meat rather than increasing volumes processed, he said, and he was confident the new deal would deliver that. “And if the company is trading in a mind-set and culture of trying to be profitable rather than straight volume based, I think that is a great place to be.”

From P1 “The community can be reasonably happy with the way things are going.” Prosecutions for theft hit their lowest number since 1985, dropping from 118 cases in 2013 to 54 cases last year. Property damage cases fell from 74 to 27, the lowest number since 1992. While prosecution numbers for most crimes were trending downwards, illicit drug crime prosecution increased last year. That could be at least partly attributed to a police crackdown on drug offending in the district, which has seen police focus on disrupting the supply of methamphetamine into Mid/South Canterbury. “If you’ve got time to put into drug offending you can deal with it and, at the moment, we’ve got the time to put into it, so obviously we’re going to be dealing with a lot more of it,” Mr Gaskin said. Justice Minister Amy Adams (below) praised the figures, which show that the number of adults charged in court nationally has decreased by 36 per cent since its peak in 2009/10. That put the number of adults in court at the lowest levels since records began in 1980/81. “Fewer people in court is clear evidence of less crime on our streets and a less congested court system,” she said.

■ EMERGENCY HOUSING

In brief

Community rallies behind local homeless family By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

An Ashburton mum and her three children who were left homeless and unable to access emergency housing last week have found a new home, thanks to the support of the local community. Ashburton community organisations were forced to step in after the woman and her three children contacted them with a cry for help, saying they had nowhere to sleep that night.

When phone calls to Work and Income did not come up with an accommodation solution, Presbyterian Support and other community organisations dug into their own pockets to provide temporary accommodation for the family. However, news of the family’s plight struck a chord with the community, with offers of housing flowing in soon after. Presbyterian Support manager Jackie Girvan said the family were now set up in a rental property.

“It’s a very nice house and they’ll be very happy there, I’m sure,” she said. The community support for the family was wonderful, she said. “I had another person ring up and offer her accommodation as well, which is great.” Despite the difficulties accessing emergency housing appraisals for the woman, the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) said there were “no known barriers” to accessing emergency or social hous-

ing in Ashburton. While they were not able to comment on the individual situation, an MSD spokesperson said where a client presented with an immediate emergency housing need, MSD’s priority was to ensure they had a warm, safe place to stay. “We can confirm that there are no known barriers that would preclude clients from accessing either emergency housing support or social housing assessments at the Ashburton Work and Income Office.”

■ INTERNATIONAL DAY OF OLDER PERSONS

Celebrating with tea, sandwiches and cakes Elaine Mair (right) celebrates the 25th International Day of Older Persons during an afternoon tea party at Princes Court Resthome. The day is marked annually to celebrate the contribution seniors make to New Zealand society. The theme of this year’s day is sustainability and age inclusiveness in the urban environments. The focus is on making towns and cities easier and more elder-friendly places to live. Senior citizens minister Maggie Barry said that along with the office for Senior Citizens, she has been promoting the concept of age-friendly communities, trying to involve older New Zealanders in helping make decisions on transport and health facilities and building links that will make it easier for them to stay socially connected.

Sweets offered Ashburton police have confirmed they are investigating after a young boy was allegedly offered sweets by a man at the EA Networks Centre swimming pool. According to Sergeant Janine Bowden, a young girl witnessed a man approach a younger boy, aged about five years old, in the pool area and offer him sweets between 2-3pm on Sunday. Neither the man or the boy have been identified or made any complaint to police, she said. “Investigations are ongoing to determine whether the man was known to the boy or not, and police are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident or can help identify either person.” “Police would like to reassure the public that no other reports of this nature have been made in Ashburton before or since this incident.” She encouraged anyone who witnessed any suspicious behaviour in a recreational facility to report it to staff or a trusted adult straight away. Anyone who has any information that may be of assistance should call Ashburton Police Station on 03 307 8400.

Tourist crash The Chinese driver of a van that crashed near Wanaka last year, killing three people, may have only had 20 minutes of experience driving on New Zealand roads.

■ LEGIONNAIRES’ DISEASE

Gardeners warned about potting mix By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Green thumbed Mid Cantabrians are being urged to take caution when handling potting mix and compost. The warning, from the Canterbury District Health Board, comes as the district’s Legionnaires’ season sets in. Canterbury medical officer of health, Dr Ramon Pink, said Legionella longbeachae, the type of Legionnaires’ disease associated with potting mix and compost, can be very serious and even fatal. Every October the number of people with Legionnaires’ disease begins to climb, with the seasonal surge most likely linked to gardeners catching the disease from potting mix or compost, Dr Pink said. “After a long winter it’s great getting back into the garden and enjoying the warmer weather and longer days, but please make sure you avoid inhaling the dust from potting mix or compost as this can be dangerous,” he said. Numbers usually peak in November and December and re-

main relatively high through January and February, before tapering off in March. However, Legionnaires’ can be contracted at any time. Earlier this year a cluster of Legionnaires’ disease cases emerged in Christchurch. In June the CDHB confirmed that within a three month period, six adults – all linked to the industrial Hillsborough area – had been hospitalised as a result of the disease. As well as compost and potting mix, Legionnaires’ can be contracted from spa pools and decorative fountains. Lushingtons Garden, Gift and Café retail assistant Nicky Steinmetz said it was important people were careful when gardening at this time of year. “We have a notice up right by our potting mix,” Ms Steinmetz said.“[It says] make sure you wash your hands when you’ve finished, read all the warnings on all the bagged compost and potting mixes and wear gloves and a mask,” Ms Steinmetz said. Anyone can catch Legionnaires’, but people over 50 years of age or with long-term ill-

nesses (particularly lung disease), people with low immunity and smokers are the most vulnerable. Symptoms of the disease may include dry coughing, high fever, chills, diarrhoea, shortness of breath, chest pains, headaches, excessive sweating, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Anyone with these symptoms is advised to see their general practice team immediately.

TOP FIVE COMPOST TIPS ■ ■ ■ ■

■

Open potting mix bags carefully using scissors Wear a disposable face mask and gloves, and open the bag away from the face Use the potting mix in a wellventilated area Dampen the potting mix or compost down with a sprinkle of water to stop the bacteria becoming airborne Wash hands thoroughly after handling potting mix or compost

■ PRISONER ESCAPE

In brief

‘String of failings’ revealed A chain of shortcomings and failings allowed Phillip John Smith to escape to Brazil - and an overhaul of systems and information sharing between government agencies is needed. The findings of a high-level inquiry headed by retired High Court judge Dr John Priestley QC and Simon Murdoch were released yesterday afternoon. Stricter monitoring of prisoners who are temporarily released “outside the wire” and into the community is one of a number of recommendations,

which the Government has promised to act on. Some of the findings of the report, for which 116 people were interviewed, will make for embarrassing reading for authorities. The escape could have been thwarted before it even began if Corrections had simply checked with Smith’s nominated sponsor that the prisoner was expected to stay with him overnight. “The sponsor in fact knew nothing of the release, and would certainly have said so if

asked,” the report concludes. There were shortcomings in various agencies systems and processes as well as simple failings that acted as “links in a chain” in their failure to prevent Smith’s escape, the report states. “Had one been absent, then the escape almost certainly would not have occurred.” Smith, a murderer and child sex offender, fled New Zealand in November while on temporary release from Spring Hill Prison, but was caught in Rio de Janeiro after being recog-

nised by a fellow backpacker in a hostel. He had obtained a passport issued in his birth name Phillip John Traynor, some 16 months before he left New Zealand on November 6. About eight hours before he boarded the flight he had been released from Spring Hill prison on a temporary release of 74 hours, and he was meant to stay with designated sponsors. Smith did not return to Spring Hill on November 9, and it was only on the following day that it was confirmed he had left New Zealand.

Unloved dogs Unloved dogs put down by council pounds are often dumped in offal pits or landfills, but the New Zealand public should be more outraged with the sheer number of family pets that are left to die, a leading animal rights campaigner says. Gisborne District Council came under fire this week after a video circulating on social media showed dead dogs dumped in an underground pit. In the council’s response to the allegations, it said disposal in offal pits, “as horrible as it sounds”, was a common method used for disposing of dead stock on farms and other animal control facilities. - NZME

Guilty plea to murder One of the three people charged with murdering a Lower Hutt man has yesterday pleaded guilty. Stuart Graham Wilton originally denied the charge but changed his plea in the High Court at Wellington and admitted his role in Matthew Stevens’ death. Stevens’ body was found next to his car on the Paekakariki Hill Rd in November last year. Justice Simon France convicted Wilton and gave him a three-strikes warning. The other two charged with murder, Darrin John Wilkie-Morris and Kelly Leigh Crook, will go on trial next year. - NZME.

Security Council Prime Minister John Key says New Zealand could put its own resolution before the Security Council on Syria but the risk of Russia vetoing such a move would do more harm than good. Mr Key was commenting on Foreign Minister Murray McCully’s attack on the Security Council’s lack of leadership over Syria, delivered at a council meeting in New York yesterday. Mr Key said New Zealand could put a resolution up itself “but as we know those resolutions get vetoed and the veto could do more damage than good. We would be reluctant to do that if we thought it would get bowled over. I don’t think it would take the process forward.” - NZME

Audience taken on a journey to Oz The Wizard of Oz Mid Canterbury Children’s Theatre Ashburton Trust Event Centre, October 2-4. Directed by Kylie Maddren “I could while away the hours...” and what better place to do so than while watching the 2015 Mid Canterbury Children’s Theatre production of The Wizard of Oz? In the comfort of the Ashburton Trust Event Centre the audience was whisked out of Kansas to the land of the Munchkins and all things green, white and yellow! Dorothy (Ashton Lamborn-

REVIEW Vear) is sweet and tuneful as she sings Somewhere over the Rainbow and portrays Dorothy extremely well. Glinda the Good Witch (Mikayla Milmine) provides initial protection for Dorothy and offers firm advice for the trip ahead. The Munchkins are well choreographed and provide a great chorus ably led by their Mayor (Georgia Schmack). As Dorothy and Toto (Charlotte Livingstone) make their way along the road, they meet the

Scarecrow (Sophie Kettley), the Tin Man (Anna Bennett) and the Lion (Joe Danielson) looking for courage. The five interact well together, playing their parts strongly and highlighting the fears and hopes they have for their trip. In search of revenge for the death of her sister, the Wicked Witch of the West (Kasey Higson) is hot on the heels of Dorothy and her new friends. Higson is strong in her role as she delivers enough evil and menace to scare the travellers. Throughout the show, the use of digital scenes and simple, but complementary set pieces, help to keep the story

flowing and the audience’s eyes firmly fixed where they should be – on the actors bringing you the magic of Oz. As director/choreographer, Kylie Maddren has effectively used her previous experience to cast this production expertly. Under the musical direction of Matt van den Yssel, cast members have delivered clear diction within their singing roles and musical numbers. Congratulations to the committee, cast and crew of Mid Canterbury Children’s Theatre on producing a show that audiences both young and old will enjoy and appreciate. reviewed by Brent Gray

Ashburton at affordable end of market Property prices in the Ashburton District have climbed 4.3 per cent over the past 12 months to hit an average of $331,250. While values in the district are climbing at a modest rate, QV figures released yesterday show that across New Zealand average prices are climbing at their fastest rate since October 2007, at 12.6 per cent. They are now almost 31 per cent above the market peak in late 2007. The average house value nationwide is now $542,277, putting properties in the Ashburton District at the affordable end of the market. There are 32 valuation areas in the South Island, with the highest priced properties in Queenstown-Lakes, $734,050. The lowest priced properties in the South Island are in the Clutha District, $166,298. Ashburton is about midway, but with Queenstown-Lakes excluded, has the highest values for any

district south of the Rakaia River. The value of properties sold on the West Coast dropped across each district in September, while Timaru had the strongest year on year growth at 9.7 per cent. Across New Zealand, Papakaura District and North West Manakau showed the strongest growth at more than 29 per cent. At the same time as sales prices continue to climb, the number of properties listed for sale has hit its lowest level in at least eight years. Data released by Realestate.co.nz shows the number of houses listed for sale in September fell to 30,988; in 2007 there were 43,000. Listings peaked in April 2008 at 58,137, but remained steady for three years before beginning the slide to today’s level. In Canterbury, 1459 new properties were listed in September.

‘Positive parenting’ advice By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Mid Canterbury parents looking to educate themselves on family violence, bullying and positive parenting, can do so now thanks to two local groups. Families Without Violence in conjunction with Think First, is hosting a free evening for parents this month with guest speakers who will cover each of these topics. Family violence co-ordinator Jim Sole will discuss the effects of family violence and talk about its effects on children. Cactus programme co-ordinator Jenny Reed and Methven youth mentor coordinator Juanita Richards will inform people about tools to respond to bullying and Neighbourhood Support coordinator Christine Richards will speak about parents being a positive influence. Families Without Violence co-ordi-

nator Anna Arrowsmith said after the presentations attendees will have the floor to ask questions before a supper is served. Think First project co-ordinator John Hobbs said the evening would be both practical and relevant. With one in three New Zealand women experiencing physical or sexual violence in their lifetime and more than 45,000 children reporting bullying in schools each week, everyone in the room will in some way be connected to the issues talked about, he said. “It’s about starting those crucial conversations.” The evening will be held on Thursday October 15 from 6.30pm to 8.30pm at the Ashburton Parents Centre on Chalmers Avenue. People can RSVP by phoning 308 1395, or just turn up on the night.

Russia strikes Syria Russia has launched airstrikes in Syria, sharply escalating Moscow’s role in the conflict but also raising questions about whether its intent is fighting Islamic State militants or protecting longtime ally, President Bashar Assad. President Vladimir Putin called it a pre-emptive strike against the militants, and the Russian Defense Ministry said its warplanes targeted and destroyed eight positions belonging to extremists from the IS group, also known as ISIL or ISIS. It did not give specific locations. But French Defense Minister JeanYves Le Drian told lawmakers in Paris: “Curiously, they didn’t hit Islamic State. I will let you draw your conclusions.” US Defense Secretary Ash Carter also said the Russians appeared to have targeted areas that did not include IS militants and complained Moscow did not use formal channels to give advance

notice of its airstrikes to Washington, which is conducting its own airstrikes in Syria against the Islamic State group. He said the Russians should not be supporting the Assad government and their military moves are “doomed to fail.” Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed charges that Russian airstrikes in Syria targeted positions of the Syrian opposition. Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, he said that the Russian Air Forces are co-operating with the Syrian progovernment military to target “exclusively” Islamic State targets. US Secretary of State John Kerry said Washington was prepared to welcome Russian military action in Syria as long as it is directed against IS and other alQaida affiliates, but would have “grave concerns” if it conducted strikes against other groups. - AP

Bird in a bi-plane on tour An adventurous British aviatrix is embarking on a 20,000 kilometre solo flight from Britain to Australia in a vintage open cockpit bi-plane. Self-styled “Bird in a Bi-Plane” Tracey Curtis-Taylor, 53, will set off in her 1942 Boeing Stearman Spirit of Artemis aircraft from Farnborough, Hampshire. She will fly across 23 countries, making 50 refuelling stops over the next 14 weeks, before finally arriving in Sydney in early 2016.

She will follow in the slipstream of Amy Johnson, the pioneering British aviator who became the first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia in 1930. Her route will take her across Europe and the Mediterranean to Jordan, over the Arabian desert, across the Gulf of Oman to Pakistan, India and across Asia. She hopes to recreate the essence of Johnson’s era of flying, with an open cockpit, stick and rudder flying with basic period instruments. - AAP

A man’s heart has been pierced after he was accidentally shot with a nailgun on a Brisbane worksite. The 45-year-old was struck in the chest by the high-powered tool in St Lucia yesterday. “The nail actually penetrated his heart,” Queensland Ambulance Service’s Dr Stephen Rashford said. A number of critical care paramedics

were dispatched to the site and urgently treated the man, he said. The man was then rushed to an operating room at the Royal Brisbane Hospital in an induced coma. He was in a critical condition. A portable ultrasound was used to diagnose the injury to his heart. Workplace Health and Safety have been advised about the incident. - AAP

taining the right to restrict farm and housing sales to foreigners. Mr Key said afterwards Ms Clark was right. “She started some of these discussions a very long time ago and we would hope the Labour Party would see that in New Zealand. This isn’t about politics – it’s about enriching New Zealand.” He said modelling had shown it would be more lucrative for New Zealand than the free-trade agreement with China, even with a less-thansatisfactory deal on dairy. He confirmed Trade Minister Tim Groser had now travelled from New York to Atlanta to attend the negotiations – something Mr Groser previously said he would not do if the parties were still so far apart a deal did not seem possible. It was still possible the talks would conclude this week. If not, the last possible chance would be the Apec meeting in the Philippines later in the year. However, Ms Clark’s comments angered TPP critic and law academic Jane Kelsey who said it put Ms Clark at odds with Labour’s position. “Clark’s statement suggests she had become too far removed from the realities and opinions of ordinary New Zealanders.” – NZME

Unthinkable for NZ to be left out of TPP – Clark Former Prime Minister Helen Clark says it would be “unthinkable” for New Zealand to be left out of the TPP, as ministerial talks to try to get the deal signed off this week continue in Atlanta.

Fonterra chief executive Theo Spierings asked for his salary to be frozen three days before the co-operative released its annual result, a spokesman for the company said. He said Spierings’ request was not in response to the unfavourable publicity that has arisen since the company revealed that he received a pay increase of up to 18 per cent in the 2014/15 year. Fonterra last week disclosed that Spierings earned between $4.93 million and $4.94 million in the year to July 31, up from $4.17 million to $4.18 million in the previous year. The company did not disclose Spierings’ base salary, but it is understood to be close to $4 million. “He requested to the committee that decides these things that he freeze his salary for the (current) year. That was on September 21 and the result came out

Recalling recalls too hit-and-miss

Stu Oldham

EDITOR

ave you clambered up a ladder and through the dark of your ceiling cavity to check on your heat transfer system? No? Well, of course you haven’t. Why would you? It’s out of sight, out of mind and as long as it keeps working when you flip the switch, there’s no need for the pain of a climb into the roof. John Withell’s story might change your mind. John might easily have been seriously burned when a fire from his heat transfer system burned into his living room. Luckily, his volunteer firefighter neighbour saw flames on the roof and called the fire brigade. Unluckily, it turns out the fire was caused by a unit with a known fault. Unknown to Mr Withell, the Weiss heat transfer unit was recalled by its manufacturer in June last year – coincidentally, just after one caused a house fire in Willowby. Many Mid Cantabrians might have missed the product recall notices that followed that fire – and reportedly at least 21 others nationally – in the depths of winter last year. At the moment, manufacturers voluntarily recall products in advertising blitzes encompassing everything from print and website advertising to instore notices. The scattergun approach offers a good chance users will self-identify and that companies will get the chance to fix whatever was wrong with what they supplied. However, it only takes a handful of people not understanding the notice might apply to them for an unacceptable risk to remain. More paperwork might be an answer. Requiring certain electrical products or their warranties to be registered at the point of sale, or for registered installers to register their installs, could provide a working list for recalls. Expensive? Probably. Invasive? Perhaps. But relying on a system of alerts, and on consumers knowing enough to respond, means recalls remain a hit-and-miss affair.

YOUR VIEW Mill Creek I’m not in the habit of patting local authorities on the back, but the Ashburton District Council has been doing some great work for ratepayers in administering and developing the amenities in this pretty little town, with a clear thought to the future. It is not an enviable job and it is always easy for the unseen (but paying) public to be critical. There was, however, one glaring exception to their otherwise clean-ish record and that was the total draining of Wakanui (Mill) Creek on December 15. The council’s actions warrant a reminder of this grossly mismanaged affair nine months on. The stream was allowed to drop on December 14 before being drained completely for several hours the following day.

CRUMB

Flow was restored on the 16th, too late for any waterdependent life. A contractor working on stream enhancement gave the alarm. Fish and Game did their best to recover what they could but the damage was done – hundreds, if not thousands, of trout and native species died, some a very slow death. It was one of the worst examples of environmental vandalism that I have experienced. Our water and its courses are under very strict and careful management - why did they allow this to happen? The council made a startling blunder and I believe dodged a very nasty bullet when ECan allowed them to walk away. Wakanui Creek is one of this town’s valuable assets. It enhances backyards and provides sanctuary to fish, birds and invertebrates. A natu-

ral playground and pleasant environment for many. The council will no doubt bleat they can drain the creek if required for stock water and/or firefighting purposes. But does it make this sort of environmental abuse right, especially from our own council? Had I been the instigator I would have attracted the wrath of ECan, Fish and Game and the council no doubt, and been severely punished. The council showed no apparent remorse. If there is noone in the chambers that does not hold some level of responsibility for what happened then the system is broken and needs to be fixed. Let’s pray we don’t see this kind of disaster happen again with the hot and dry summer predicted ahead and hope the council did actually learn something from this sad affair. Ken Banwell

Putin is doing what needs to be done

t all happened very fast, in the end. On Monday Russian President Vladimir Putin was at the United Nations in New York saying that the United States was making “an enormous mistake” in not backing Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad in his war against Islamist rebels, notably including “Islamic State” (or Isis, as it used to be known). On Tuesday the upper chamber of the Russian parliament unanimously voted to let President Putin use military force in Syria to fight “terrorism”, in response to a request from the Syrian government. And on Wednesday morning Russian warplanes started bombing rebel targets in Syria. Moscow gave the US embassy on Iraq one hour’s notice, requesting that US and “coalition” aircraft (which are also bombing Islamic State targets in Syria) avoid the airspace where the Russian bombers are in action. And Donald Trump, bless his heart, said: “You know, Russia wants to get Isis, right? We want to get Isis. Russia is in Syria – maybe we should let them do it? Let them do it.” And for once, Trump is right. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. If you want to stop Isis, you have to do it with troops, and the only ground troops fighting Isis in Syria are the Syrian army and the Kurds along the northern border with Turkey. But the US has been duped by

Gwynne Dyer

Turkey into betraying the Kurds and it will not use its airpower to help the Syrian army, which is now on the ropes. That’s why Palmyra fell to Islamic State forces in May. Despite all the other American airstrikes against Isis forces in Syria, it made not one move to help the Syrian forces when they were desperately defending the historic city and so they eventually had to retreat. It was more important to Washington not to be seen helping Assad than to save the city. This is a fine moral position, as Assad’s regime is a deeply unattractive dictatorship. Indeed, the great majority of the 4 million Syrians who have fled the country were fleeing the regime’s violence, not that of Isis. But if you don’t want the Islamist extremists to take over the country (and maybe Lebanon and Jordan as well), and you’re not willing to put troops on the ground yourself, who else would you help? Washington’s fantasy solution to this problem has been to create a “third force” of rebels who will somehow defeat Islamic State while diplomacy somehow removes Assad. But

the other big rebel organisations in Syria, al-Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham, are also Islamists, little different from Isis in their ideology and goals. In fact al-Nusra is a breakaway faction of Isis, now affiliated with al-Qaeda. (Remember al-Qaeda? Chaps who did the 9/11 attacks?) If Assad goes down, it is Islamic State, al-Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham who will take over Syria, not the pathetic little band of fighters being trained by the United States in Turkey. In fact the first group of them to cross back into Syria were immediately annihilated by Isis, who had probably been tipped off by America’s notvery-loyal ally, the Turkish government. If the Russians believed that the United States was willing to do the heavy lifting needed to defeat the Islamists and save the Assad regime, they would probably be more than happy to stand back and let America do it. It was the American invasion of Iraq, after all, that created Isis, and almost all of Islamic State’s leaders are veterans of the resistance in Iraq. But Putin hears only highminded rhetoric utterly detached from reality when he listens to Barack Obama. Russia has a large Muslim minority at home and it is very much closer to the Middle East than the United States is. So if the Americans won’t do what is necessary, he will. Putin does not make the

same meaningless distinctions between Islamic State and the other Islamist groups that the United States insists on. The first Russian air strikes were on territory held by al-Nusra, not Islamic State. But the Russians will hit Isis too. In fact, the first big operation will probably be an attack by a re-equipped Syrian army to retake Palmyra, heavily backed by Russian air power. Putin has said that he will not commit Russian ground forces to combat in Syria, for the Russian public doesn’t want to see its soldiers involved in another war against Islamists after their miserable experience in Afghanistan in 1979-89. But the resolution in the Duma didn’t make any promises about that and we may yet see Russian ground troops fighting in Syria too. Whether Putin’s intervention will be enough to save Assad remains to be seen.

Netball nationals on agenda By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The EA Networks Centre will host the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Netball Championships next week, but after finishing in tenth place in the South Island Champs, Ashburton College will not be involved. St Margaret’s, Cashmere, St Andrew’s, Roncalli and South-

land Girls will be the five South Island teams competing, while Wellington East Girls’ College, St Mary’s Girls’ College, Te Rito Manukura, Wellington Girls, and Napier Girls qualified from the lower North Island. The larger upper North Island pool will provide six teams in Mount Albert Grammar, Saint Kentigern College, West-

lake Girls, Epsom Girls, Baradene and Waikato Diocesan. Ashburton College coach Ange Mitchell said it was disappointing her side failed to qualify, despite having a good year, but she expects plenty of interest from the local community anyway. “Once you get to the South Islands you have to perform at a high level in every game,”

she said. “There was one game against Marion (College) that we were goal-for-goal and that was probably the game that cost us. “It’s just really tough to make that top five.” Mitchell said she is looking forward to seeing the standard of the North Island teams and anticipates a high level of competition.

In brief Electric racing A local high school is set to compete in EVolocity, the country’s only electric motorsport racing event. Ashburton College will go head to head alongside 38 other teams, including reigning champions Geraldine High School, to take home the title. Each team will design and build their own electric vehicles from electric bikes to go karts, motor bikes and cars. The event will take place on Saturday November 28 at the Ruapuna Motorsport Park. Tickets can be purchased from www. evolocity.co.nz

Trip in jeopardy The Socceroos’ World Cup qualifier in Bangladesh next month could be called off with Football Federation Australia (FFA) formally flagging security concerns with FIFA. The fixture, scheduled for November 17 in Dhaka, appears in jeopardy following advice from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and ASIO that there was “reliable information” suggesting terrorist attacks against Australian interests were being planned. Australia’s cricket team had been due to leave on Monday for Bangladesh for a two-Test series, but that tour - scheduled to begin on Saturday - is expected to be cancelled imminently. - AAP

Mid Canterbury under 16s’ Tuakana Kamou (above) will be hoping his try-scoring form continues in the South Island age-group tournament at Methven this weekend. Mid Canterbury Rugby’s un-

der 16 and under 18 teams kick off their respective tournaments today, with the older side at Kaiapoi. The under 18s face Canterbury Cavaliers in their opening tie at noon and will be familiar with their

opponents after falling 20-15 to them last Saturday. The under 16s will begin against Southland at 12pm and will have plenty of confidence after downing Metro/West Coast 32-13 in their last outing.

Local juniors in fine form at Timaru event By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s junior tennis players have taken the South Canterbury Spring Open in Timaru by storm this week, making up almost a third of the participants. In the 8-year mixed singles, Jake Parsons and Jacob Adam

took first and second place respectively followed by Wynter Copland in third, before Parsons and Adam joined forces to win the boys’ doubles. Jock Rollinson was in fine form to take out the 10-year boys’ section and teamed up with Ryan Paul to win the doubles competition, while Sophie

Innes partnered Jade Griffiths and placed second in the girls’ 12-year doubles. Tyler Leonard and Harry Dargue placed second and third in the 12-year boys’ singles but teamed up to win the doubles tournament. Connor Brosnahan finished second and Bryn Looij third

behind Pat Goeysinsup in the boys’ 16-year category. Mid Canterbury coach Chris Anderson said the young players performed well and the South Canterbury Spring Open will put them in good stead for upcoming tournaments and interclub contests in the season ahead.

Few are relishing the prospect of the NRL’s first-ever all-Queensland grand final as much as Maroons chief selector Des Morris. As Brisbane and North Queensland fight it out for premiership glory at ANZ Stadium, Morris will be making mental notes aimed at boosting Queensland’s State of Origin grip for years to come. Morris is proud of the fact that both teams are spearheaded by a clutch of Maroons stars.“I think it’s great for all Queenslanders, to be honest,” said Morris. - AAP

Hangman hopeful Dan Hooker’s wishlist for his trip to Houston is simple. He wants another UFC win and a new pair of running shoes. The Auckland featherweight, known as The Hangman, will meet exciting prospect Yair Rodriguez (5-1) at UFC 192 in Houston on Sunday as he looks to break into the divisional rankings. Hooker (12-5) will return to the cage after he knocked out Japanese veteran Hatsu Hikoi (27-9-2) at UFC Fight Night 65 in Adelaide in May. The 25-year-old completed his training camp for this bout in Auckland. - NZME

Major golf event New Zealand is to host golf’s 2017 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship. The tournament, to be held at Wellington’s Heretaunga championship course, is one of the largest of its type in the world, and the winner earns a place at the following year’s US Masters and a spot in the Open qualifying series. Royal Wellington club captain Andrew Meehan said the invitation to host the tournament was a fantastic opportunity for the club, golf in New Zealand, and the Wellington region. “Hosting this tournament is the culmination of a lot of work.” - NZME

Punters Hammers set for Horowhenua back the Wallabies ■ RUGBY

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury will look to extend their unbeaten run when they host Horowhenua Kapiti at the Ashburton Showgrounds tomorrow in week seven of the Heartland Championship. The Hammers have won six from six so far in their quest for a third successive Meads Cup triumph, but have looked vulnerable at times, and been guilty of making basic errors. Mid Canterbury saw off Poverty Bay for a bonus point win in a scrappy affair last weekend. The victory in Gisborne all but guaranteed a Meads Cup semifinal place, but coach Grant Keenan is expecting a tough challenge from Horowhenua, who will be gunning for a semifinal berth of their own. “They’ll need to win this, they’ll want to be in the top four so they’ll be going for four or even five points,” he said. Keenan said he is expecting Horowhenua to be physical and direct in their approach, with influential first five Brandyn Laursen directing proceedings. Horowhenua’s campaign has not lived up to the potential

shown during their plucky Ranfurly Shield challenge against Hawke’s Bay in July. Their Heartland season began with two losses against Wanganui (39-34) and King Country (34-28), before posting their first win against Poverty Bay (54-26). Two more victories over East Coast (24-20) and North Otago (26-22) followed but a loss to Wairarapa Bush (33-19) last weekend has left Jared Tanira’s side in a dogfight for a top four finish. Forwards coach Chris Wilton said his players have prepared well for the Meads Cup holders and are confident of an upset. “It’s obviously going to be a major test for us, but we’re used to being underdogs and I know the guys are looking forward to the challenge,” he said. “They’ve got strong forwards and exciting backs so defensively we have to make our tackles, it’ll be a great challenge, but we have to really man up in our forwards.” Heartland Championship week seven: Mid Canterbury v Horowhenua Kapiti, Ashburton Showgrounds, 2pm.

Naholo has AB teammates scrambling All Blacks wing Waisake Naholo is ready for the final stage in his recovery from a broken leg – getting on to the playing field – and if his form in training is any indication he shouldn’t have too many problems finding his feet in his second test. In preparing for Saturday morning’s World Cup pool match against Georgia at Cardiff ’s Millennium Stadium, Naholo, back from a cracked fibula suffered on debut against Ar-

gentina in Christchurch in July, has been causing problems for his teammates with his unique ability to beat defenders, according to coach Steve Hansen. “Watching him train this week has been pleasurable because a few people have [asked] ‘where’s he gone?’,” Hansen said. “I think a couple of the boys took a torch back to training last night to find out where he went because they still don’t know where he’s gone.

“To have a guy who was probably the player of Super Rugby – the top try scorer, gives us real genuine pace and ability to beat people – it’s exciting to have someone like that in your group and to have him out on the track after the disappointment of thinking maybe we weren’t going to be able to select him, to get a second chance, is wonderful.” For Naholo, who replaces Nehe Milner-Skudder in the

No14 jersey, the anxiety is slowly building, but that’s not unusual for the Highlanders player who scored 13 tries for the reigning champions this year. “I’m always nervous before every game,” he said. Another All Black back relishing his opportunity is Sonny Bill Williams, who retains his place in the No12 jersey due to Ma’a Nonu’s minor shoulder injury. - NZME

Otago sinks North Harbour’s ITM hopes North Harbour’s tilt for the ITM Cup Championship semifinals is over, while Otago have all but qualified for the top four after a deserved 39-32 bonus point win in Albany. As ever, Harbour showed glimpses of individual brilliance amid a morass of mistakes, and they paid dearly for a poor exit strategy and inaccuracy around kickoff receipts. And yet there were, extraordinarily, four tries apiece. The Massey duo of Pita Ahki

and Nafi Tuitavake sparked their side with two superb tries, but their ball was too often slowed at source by some tigerish Otago play, led by the likes of blazer game blindside flanker Jackson Hemopo. Michael Little was again penetrative at second five and scored two tries, including the bonus point five-pointer. First five Peter Breen scored 24 points for Otago, including a try, while centre Matt Faddes was a constant threat.

Otago looked better organised with their pods and had, in fullback Michael Collins, a willing counter-attacker. North Harbour, conversely, looked loose with their passing again, and grassed a few high balls in a funny old first spell. They also persisted in kicking ball away to the Otago back three. One gentleman in the crowd had seen enough and cried out: “Stop kicking it to them!” It was hard to argue. And yet North Harbour un-

corked a nice move from which wing Tuitavake found himself in the clear. He fed Little on an inside ball for the second five’s fifth ITM Cup try of 2015. It took the fans by surprise, or at least the media. But sandwiching that score was an opportunist try to Breen from a well-weighted left foot grubber by Collins, and flanker James Lentjes’ try exposed some soft home defence. - NZME

There are many in this country concerned at the threat Australia pose at the World Cup and that is reflected in betting trends, with more people this week betting on the Wallabies to win the tournament than any other team including the All Blacks. The TAB have been charting who punters think will win the World Cup based on the number of bets for the overall winner. The All Blacks peaked at 56 per cent soon after the World Cup markets opened in July, 2014, and were at 43 per cent on the eve of the tournament. They have now slipped to 40 per cent after their hard-fought 26-16 win over Argentina and messy 58-14 defeat of Namibia. Only 28 per cent of all punters this week bet on the All Blacks to win the tournament with 31 per cent backing Australia. That has lifted the Wallabies to be now joint-second favourites, with 13 per cent of all bets placed now on Michael Cheika’s side. The Wallabies have won both of their games so far at the tournament – a 28-13 win over Fiji and 65-3 defeat of Uruguay – and can all but knock hosts England out of the tournament with victory at Twickenham on Sunday morning (NZT). England are still joint favourites, despite their 28-25 defeat to Wales last weekend, but only five per cent of bets were placed on the host nation to win the tournament. - NZME

Haig targets Namibia The good news for anyone who is a fan of Mamuka Gorgodze’s no-nonsense style is that the Georgia skipper is playing against the All Blacks on Saturday morning. The bad news for some of his teammates is that Kiwi coach Milton Haig has decided to rest them for the all-important match against Namibia in Exeter five days after the All Blacks match in Cardiff. “We’ve been pretty vocal about what our ultimate goal is at this tournament,” Haig, a former coach of Counties-Manukau who has been with Georgia for four years, said. “We’ve got five days after the All Blacks game before we play Namibia which is very important to achieve our goal of qualifying for 2019, so it’s a necessary evil that our focus is on the Namibia game.” - NZME

■ ENGLAND V AUSTRALIA

Grim knock on for early England exit If England get knocked out early in the Rugby World Cup it is hosting, it will not only be a sporting humiliation but a financial setback. If England lose to Australia in Pool A on Sunday, the hosts will almost certainly tumble out of the tournament. No country staging the event has gone out this early. England head coach Stuart Lancaster has compared the match to a World Cup final. But perhaps there is even more riding on it. Lancaster, whose position would be on the line even though his contract was extended for six years in 2014, would be the embodiment of a failure that would have ramifications off the pitch - starting at the Rugby Football Union. The RFU, the game’s governing body in England, wanted to host the best-ever World Cup to inspire a generation to take up rugby. Early elimination would be a disaster. Its chief executive Ian Ritchie called it the “opportunity of a

lifetime” and insisted that 2015 was the “most important year since the RFU was formed in 1871”. The RFU has often been criticised for not capitalising on England winning the 2003 World Cup in Australia. This time, with the tournament in England, the RFU has made a huge investment, with a major promotion push surrounding matches screened on prime-time television. However, “unless England win or a star domestic player emerges, then the World Cup will not deliver on the promise that its hosting in England would have suggested,” Simon Chadwick, professor of sport business strategy and marketing at Coventry University, told AFP. An early English elimination would also be a blow to RFU merchandising revenues such as the sale of England shirts. “A feel-good factor leads people to buy shirts as they seek to show their patriotism. Early exit would be highly undesirable for Canterbury,” the kit

manufacturers. Heineken, the tournament’s main sponsors, are also crossing their fingers. “It would be a shame to lose a rugby-mad market as England,” said the Dutch brewer’s global activation director, Hans Erik Tuijt. “The number of viewers in the UK will dramatically drop if they’re knocked out. We’d like to see England do well,” he told

the industry’s news portal justdrinks. Pubs are also pinning their hopes on England beating Australia. “An early exit in the World Cup will no doubt mean a drop in customers for struggling licensees across the country,” said Neil Walker, spokesman for the CAMRA beer industry advocacy group. For ITV, which has the ex-

clusive television broadcasting rights in Britain, a swift England exit “could be a disaster”, said Phil Hall of MediaCom, Britain’s biggest advertisers’ media buying agency. He said ITV could lose between STG1 to two million pounds per match due to a 40 per cent drop in the price of advertising slots. “The result of the game on Saturday could have a meaningful effect on ITV’s year from a revenue point of view, as well as a wider knock-on effect on the advertising market and the economy,” Hall told AFP. During England’s 25-28 defeat to Wales on Saturday, ITV averaged 8.3 million viewers and a 38 per cent share of the television audience, peaking at STG11.6 million and 49 per cent. “An England exit would be less than perfect but with Wales, Scotland and Ireland performing so well there is still a great tournament for us to showcase,” ITV director of sports Niall Sloane told AFP. - AAP

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Your current inner circle is so demanding you’re hesitant to make efforts to establish new friendships. However, the benefits to widening that circle will be numerous and definite. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Retrospect makes the good times seem better and the bad times seem worse. However you’re thinking about it now, don’t act on those sentimental feelings you’re having. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You think you’re not ready, but it’s time, so just do it. Maybe it’s something to do with your gravity-defying air-signness, but quite often, when you fail, you fail upward. That will happen again today. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Yes, what happens to you is far less important than what you take from the experience. Then again, the takeaway has a tendency to get delayed like mismarked mail. In the meantime, talk about what happened. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): While the benefits to working with a crack team are enormous, the best way to earn a place in such a group is by putting in the kind of solitary practice and study time that you’ll put in today. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Too much generosity and agreeableness can actually work against a relationship. It is possible to take too much responsibility or give way more than the other person, thus stunting the relationship. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The need for balance and justice will once again compel you to make gestures of diplomacy. This will include defusing a tense situation and/or helping a group find their common goals. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Learning to be a leader who can inspire and motivate others is one of the most valuable skills. When you rebel against your own authority, you’ll handle it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Recent changes your loved one has made will take some getting used to. Then again, others have had to get used to all the changes you’ve made along the way, too. This is just a matter of taking turns. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Some have a loneliness about them that never seems to abate. Even through smiles, conversation and laughter, the ghosted image remains. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The critics are out today, and they’ll join the trolls under the bridge. But if you never take it personally, you’ll never get hurt. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You might notice you’ve come full circle, and though it comes with a twinge of mixed emotion, you can take heart that it’s not the end of the journey. That’s the thing about circles.

Sport Tennis back with a bang PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 300915-TM–105

Matt Jones tests his early season form at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre this week when Mid Cantabrians of all ages dusted off their racquets for the start of twilight tennis. This year 14 teams are contesting division one with 10 in division two. In division one, The Hackers, Get a Grip, Electric Donkey Bottom Biters, Brophy Knight, Misﬁts, Council Crew and Spare Parts scored wins while The Raqueteers, Rob’s Mob, The Racketeers, Baseline Bandits and Hit 4 Brains took wins in the second division.

■ RUGBY WORLD CUP

Front row switch delivers warning If a degree of comfort was ever present in the All Black squad, it will have disappeared after the selection for the Georgia test. Players aren’t dropped these days as such, they are given new roles – and All Black coach Steve Hansen was at pains to stress that about the decision to start with Wyatt Crockett and Charlie Faumuina against Georgie on Saturday morning ahead of Tony Woodcock and Owen Franks. The official rationale for the switch is that the selectors know Crockett and Faumuina can make an impact from the bench, and now they want to see

whether Woodcock and Franks can do the same. It’s about building options and gaining answers. There’s a large extent of truth to that, but it’s also true that if Woodcock and Franks were playing out of their skin, this role reversal wouldn’t have happened. Rugby is a 23-man game these days, but it still matters who starts and who is on the bench, and whether there is a changing of the guard as such in the front-row doesn’t matter. What matters is that the players believe there could be and probably Woodcock and Franks may think there already has

been. Hansen has sent a subtle message to his players that starting places are not set in stone. Players hear that a lot, yet they often struggle to believe it as actions don’t always support words. Not in this case. As long as they have been fit, Woodcock and Franks have been the preferred starters since 2010. They have nearly 200 caps between them and two weeks from the World Cup getting super serious, they have been given a clear warning that they must continue earning their selection. They haven’t played badly, it’s

just they haven’t done enough away from the set-piece and the other two have. Now the pressure is on to show their hunger and value _ and those not in the starting group have been given reassurance that the selectors will reward those who deliver. And it’s not only Woodcock and Franks who will be reassessing. All the long-serving players will have taken a moment of quiet reflection on seeing the team selection and reminded themselves that performance is everything. “Outside looking in, I think everyone can get excited about ‘is this the game he has to put

his hand up for’,” Hansen said. “We expect people to put their hand up every time they play and then we as selectors have to make the tough calls on who to leave out. “What you can’t have is people worrying about selection because they don’t control that. “Once you get players realising that, they know they just have to go out and play well.” This desire for healthy competition is being driven by the lessons of 2007, when the All Blacks appeared almost haphazard and shambolic in the way they selected teams through the pool rounds. - NZME
