■ BOROUGH SCHOOL

Tree planted in memory of former student Ashburton Borough School has planted a tree in memory of former student Pio Raukete who passed away nearly a year ago.

A ceremony was held at the school yesterday to celebrate the life of five-year-old Pio who tragically died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning with her mother Cindy George and siblings Teuruaa George, 3, and Telyzshaun George, 2, in July last year.

Speeches were made by principal Sam Winterbourn and Reverend David Brown before the junior choir performed a song and dance for Pio. The ceremony ended with a liquid amber tree being planted and the release of six white balloons.

Pictured is Pio’s dad, John Raukete, helping to plant the tree.

■ SILVER FERN FARMS

How safe is the Fairton works?

By Michelle NelsoN

Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Documentation from the Chinese company angling to obtain a 50 per cent share in Silver Fern Farms propose axing the Fairton plant but the meat processing co-operative insists it is safe – for the time being.

The Waitane plant in Gore was also earmarked for closure in the Shanghai Maling documents, based on information provided

by Silver Fern Farms.

Last year the co-operative’s shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favour of allowing Shanghai Maling 50 per cent ownership in return for $261 million, a special dividend, and funds to back it for seven years.

New Zealand First leader Win-

ston Peters has frequently voiced his opposition to the deal.

“This is our biggest meat exporter. Under the deal the Chinese company will take the chief executive position – it is a takeover,” he said in a statement yesterday.

“New Zealand First has long warned that New Zealand faces dire consequences when foreign buyers eye profits that will be sucked overseas for their benefits, and have no regard for New Zealanders.

“The victims in this deal will be hundreds of workers at the plants, and the flow-on effect on local towns and their economies.

The regions deserve better than this.”

However, Silver Fern Farms

was quick to quell rumours around the closures.

“All of our 19 plants have been operational this year and, other than the announced decision to relocate venison processing from Islington to Pareora due to our lease expiry, there has been no decision taken by the company to do anything differently next year at any plant,” Silver Fern’s chief executive Dean Hamilton said.

“As is prudent and appropriate, we will continue to periodically review the effectiveness of all of our plant network.”

Silver Fern Farms will hold a meeting in Dunedin on July 11, where shareholders will vote on approving the proposed partnership and restructure.

■ EASTFIELD PRECINCT

Four-star hotel progressing

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The developers of the Eastfield precinct are progressing their plans for a 4-star hotel, with a search on for investors and operators.

The hotel will have 70 to 80 beds, a food and beverage service and meeting rooms and is part

of a $40 million development on land bordered by Burnett, Cass and Tancred Street in Ashburton.

Eastfield Investment chairman Brian Davidson said the hotel was planned to have a Burnett Street frontage, create up to 50 new jobs and fill a gap in the local accommodation market by catering for sports teams and supporters us-

“The big advantage with this project is that it is bringing people into the CBD and not competing with existing business activities there. It has been one of our goals since we designed Eastfield to not move people off East Street.”

He said the plan had the support of local retailers, as it would bring more people into the CBD. The hotel plan is subject to financial modelling, then investors and service providers approached.

Mr Davidson said some had al-

An artist’s impression of the new Eastfield Precinct.

Mr Davidson said the open space planned on the southern side of the building would give the CBD an outdoor area sheltered from most weather, and easy access to existing bars and eateries.

He said planners would look at the impact of the hotel building on other parts of the development block, which is one of several sites suggested for the Ashburton District Council’s new administration and library building.

Mayor Angus McKay said the hotel was a necessity for the town going forward because accommodation was at a premium when major events were held. “And that is happening more regularly.”

He said he hoped the hotel would be a catalyst for the redevelopment of the whole of the CBD. Work has already begun on the Eastfield precinct, with construction of the new Ministry of Social Development building on Tancred Street under way. It should be finished by February.

Mr Davidson said the hotel development would create 40-50 new jobs and allow local young people to learn new skills.

“The hotel will complement what’s currently on offer in the district and drive new demand for overnight and longer stays in the centre of town.”

Hotel expected to fill gap in accommodation market Eastfield’s new hotel accommodation in the centre of town will ease a shortage of beds in Ashburton for domestic and international tourists, says hospitality and tourism consultant Chris Black.

In a report commissioned by Eastfield, Mr Black said there was a gap in the Ashburton market for a modern, full service 4-star hotel.

A New Zealand Trade and Enterprise report released last month said there was a critical shortage of accommodation for the record numbers of tourists going to main centres. Mr Black said Ashburton faced similar issues with only a small number of beds for tourists.

Tourists spent $128 million in the Ashburton district in the year to March 2015, with over 80 per cent of visitors coming from the domestic market. International visitors were predominantly from Australia and the UK, while only .03 per cent of guest nights came from the fastgrowing Chinese visitor market.

“A hotel at Eastfield would create an entertainment facility in a prime CBD location for use by local, domestic and international customers,” Mr Black said.

He identified key areas of growing demand for the district, which the hotel would be uniquely placed to serve.

proven to be a huge driver of domestic tourists to Ashburton, some of whom will stay overnight. While the majority of these visitors are assumed to be residents of the Ashburton District, it is the two-day or longer sporting events, and their competitors, coaches, officials, managers and spectators that often require accommodation.

“Competitors and their support crew have been forced to stay in Timaru, Methven and Rakaia due to an accommodation shortage in Ashburton.”

The report says the average tournament would bring 250 competitors, plus support crew. Sporting

He said local businesses interviewed for the report were in favour of the new hotel development.

“A number of businesses in Ashburton currently elect to accommodate their overseas clients and guests in Christchurch due to the more upmarket facilities available.

“Businesses would also prefer to bring trainers to Ashburton and put them in a hotel rather than send staff out of town.”

The conference market has also increased demand for local accommodation. Sports and leisure was also a growing source of visitor demand, according to the report.

“The EA Networks Centre has

and leisure activities at Lake Hood is also expected to contribute to local demand for accommodation.

Eastfield Investments chairman Brian Davidson said the new report underscored the importance of the hotel development.

“This kind of investment is an important way of attracting and supporting both the business and domestic accommodation market to Ashburton.

“By bringing guests right into the centre of town, there’s also considerable flow-on to other local businesses, especially when the alternative is to stay outside the district altogether.”

In brief New supermarket

Mission to become waste-free

Ashburton’s newest supermarket should be up and running by April next year. Tenders for construction of the new $20 million Countdown supermarket opened on May 24, and will close on June 24. A Countdown spokesperson said it was hoped the tender would be awarded by the end of June, and the store was likely to open late May, or early April next year. It’s expected the new supermarket – to be built by the bridge on land previously occupied by Rural Transport – will create around 120 new jobs.

Ashburton Borough School students Riley Husband and Zoe Quigley enjoyed sausages during the school’s Enviro Greenies group fundraiser yesterday.

The fundraiser was held to raise money to buy reusable containers to reduce rubbish at the school.

The containers will be given to families of all new entrants and will also be offered at a discounted price to others.

Gun owner denied bail A man who has been charged in connection with the fatal shooting of a 2-year-old in her Mangere home on Thursday has been declined bail. The man, in his 20s, came before Manukau District Court yesterday charged with unlawful possession of a sawn-off shotgun. He was granted interim name suppression by Judge Richard McIlraith. He declined the application for bail but said that could be relaxed to allow him to attend the funeral, which had not yet been arranged. He will be back in Manukau District Court on June 24.

■ GYPSY DAY EFFECTS

Move to counter impact

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury schools are working together to combat the negative impact of Gypsy Day on students.

Students with parents in the dairy industry, who often move to new areas in June at the end of the milking season, usually require extra support to settle in their new school.

Carew Peel Forest School principal Kay Ward said while dairying is a positive thing for the economy and for rural school roll growth, the transience puts more strain on the students themselves and school resources.

In 2011 Ms Ward undertook research into the impact of transience on rural schools and found that students who moved schools regularly had difficulty socially and academically.

At the time of the study schools were just starting to realise the effects and in the five years since then a lot has been done to help ease students’ transitions, she said.

One of the immediate impacts was on student academic achievement which often falls behind due to children needing to be comfortable with their surroundings before they can get back to normal with their learning.

“We need to do the groundwork before we can resume their school work.”

Schools have also started working together to share information about students who are departing and arriving to help them better prepare and allocate resources.

“There’s a high demand on school resources.”

They also encourage parents

FINEST

DEALS MUST END MON!

Last month Dairy NZ announced a fund for these districts to help schools provide more resources for their dairy students.

“The industry has given us financial support in such a way that’s quite flexible which will certainly be helpful.”

Mt Somers Springburn School principal Brent Gray said his school would be applying for the fund because it takes more time, resources and monitoring to help their dairy students adjust.

“It will provide for testing and monitoring of students.”

Methven Primary School principal Chris Murphy said he would also be applying for the fund to help as statistics show that every time a child moves school they fall six months behind their peers so children who move school often need a lot more help.

to let schools know as soon as possible once they have made plans to come to a new school.

Another impacts was on the students’ social interactions which was greater in older children who were anxious about leaving friends and therefore often stopped developing close relationships especially if they knew they were going to move again, she said.

Schools are now more aware of these impacts and are dealing with this by making sure their environment is welcoming as well as encouraging students to make friends and join sports teams.

Rural schools with dairy children are often high decile so get less funding but schools in Mid Canterbury, Clutha and Southland have been working with the dairy industry to come up with a solution to this.

■ COMMUNITY TRUST DONATIONS

School students biggest beneficiaries Disadvantaged children are the big winners from the Community Trust of Mid and South Canterbury’s latest funding round.

They’ve just given out $400,000 in donations, and $170, 502 of that has gone to the region’s schools to enable principals to help students who would otherwise miss out on aspects of the curriculum.

The school’s roll and decile rating determines how much each school will receive, with the largest receiving over $14,000, while the small schools get $600 each.

The funding can be applied towards anything from uniform costs, entry fees and camp fees, to stationery costs, meals and trip costs, at the principal’s discretion.

The funding also applies to kindergartens and community-based teacher-led early learning centres which get $500 each, and is donated by the community trust on an annual basis.

The other big winner from the latest round was the South Canterbury Museum Development Trust which will receive $100,000

towards their $400,000 major exhibition upgrade project which will allow locals and visitors to follow the historical development of South Canterbury.

Four community organisations, the Mid Canterbury Vintage Machinery Club (new display shed), the Geraldine Historical Society (shelving and climate control), the Timaru Budget Advisory Trust (operational costs) and Volunteering Mid and South Canterbury (Ashburton office costs) each receive $15,000 towards their projects.

Significant donations were also made to the St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church Ashburton that receives $13,889 towards new carpet for the Sinclair Community Centre and the Hampstead Rugby Club gets $11,750 towards upgrading their main playing field.

The Geraldine Pony Club also receive $7500 towards new show jumping equipment, while $5000 donations were made to the Mid Canterbury Newcomers’ Network (co-ordinator costs), the

National Heart Foundation South Canterbury Branch (health advocate costs) and Youthline Central South Island (co-ordinator costs).

The Waimate Historical Society received $3960 for climate control equipment, the Albury Ice Hockey Association had $3000 towards ice rink hire fees, the Canterbury Men’s Centre had $3000 for Mid and South Canterbury support services, South Canterbury Women’s Wellness had $2500 towards co-ordinator costs and Parent to Parent Greater Canterbury had $2150 to provide support services in South Canterbury.

The Community Trust of Mid and South Canterbury uses the returns from investments to fund its philanthropy.

Over the past five years it has donated, on average, about $1m each year to community organisations and their projects.

The Community Trust supports organisations and projects which contribute towards achieving a region of healthy, vibrant and caring communities.

Coupling design a game-changer

BY LINDA CLARKE

LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

An Ashburton company has designed the Sonny Bill Williams equivalent of a trailer coupling set to revolutionise the towing business.

It’s tough, grabs onto all size tow balls and stops unhitched trailers from becoming dangerous missiles on the road.

The steel coupling was four years in the design phase and three times over the budget; but it has been described as a gamechanger for the marine industry and will address safety issues around all trailers in New Zealand and Australia.

Most people don’t realise tow balls come in two sizes, 50mm or 1 7/8 inch and loose trailer connections can result in trailers separating from their towing vehicles, causing serious injury or death.

The marine industry hailed CM Trailer Parts’ innovation last month by awarding the Ashburton company its prestigious innovation award at this year’s New Zealand Boat Show. CM says they haven’t advertised the fact because they are only just keeping up with demand for the product, which retails at $150.

Sales and marketing man-

CM Trailer Parts owners (from left) James Taylor, Mark Havis and Alasdair Cleland with their new auto-select trailer coupling.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 310516-TM-0025 ager Mark Havis said they were chuffed that the multifit coupling unit was singled out.

“It really reflects a strong commitment to innovation, safety and quality which runs through-

out the entire company,” he said.

CM Trailer Parts employs 20 staff and operates a trailer parts wholesaling business in the Riverside Industrial Area. Owners James Taylor, Alasdair Cleland

and Mr Havis will chalk up 25 years in business soon.

Mr Havis said judges liked the fact that the multifit coupling was idiot proof. It automatically adjusts to both sized tow balls and

automatically locks into place. It was ideal for hire companies and others whose trailers were being used by a wide variety of vehicles and could be fitted and retrofitted to all sizes of trailers, boat trailers and horse floats.

Award judge Barry Thompson said the steel coupling was safety and peace of mind in one welldesigned and strongly built unit.

“This is a product that should be on every trailer.”

Mr Taylor said the unique design had been patented and was the result of continually trying to improve on existing products.

“We mothballed the first development and this one has been four years on the go. Safety has always been top of our list. The biggest feature is that it automatically selects size and locks into place, so it takes away any guesswork or risk.

“You have potentially a missile on your hands if any trailer gets loose. It can ram into the back of your car or career down the road, run over a pedestrian and go through a fence.”

The coupling was tested extensively in laboratories and in the real world on the recovery trailer of a neighbouring vehicle parts dealer, which travelled 20,000km without incident.

■ WORLD MILK DAY

Celebrating where our milk goes From a long, tall glass of chilled white milk to a decadent cheesecake, from quick meals on the go to milk powders for all life stages, milk produced by Fonterra farmers, healthy cows and New Zealand’s green grass is being consumed everyday by people everywhere.

Milk from New Zealand farmers was enjoyed by consumers all over the world in a big variety of formats and uses, managing director of Fonterra’s global brands and nutrition Rene Dedoncker said.

“Our Fonterra farmers in New Zealand produce approximately 16 billion litres of milk yearly and because of our small domestic market, we export around 95 per cent of that milk as dairy ingredients or as consumer and foodservice products. At peak, we are closing the door on a container of dairy exports out of New Zealand every three minutes,” he said.

Fonterra dairy products, including powders, cheese, butter and specialty ingredients are shipped to more than 100 markets worldwide including the eight key markets of Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka.

“Milk is one of nature’s original super foods packed with fifteen

land milk is consumed around the world: ■ Chances are if you are eating a pizza in China, Asia or the Middle East, you are eating our mozzarella. In fact, more than half of all the pizzas sold in China use Fonterra cheese.

Clandeboye’s mozzarella plant runs 24 hours a day, making enough cheese to top 300 million pizzas a year for our global markets.

■ In China, 50 per cent of the cheesecakes gobbled up by the world’s most populous nation contain Fonterra’s cream cheese – made in the mighty Waikato at Te Rapa.

■ China’s casual dining and bakery market has developed rapidly in recent years, with an annual growth rate above 20 per cent. We supply foodservice products under the Anchor Professional brand to bakeries, restaurants, hotels, cafes and fast food restaurants in more than 40 cities across

China.

Consumers in Azerbaijan really know the taste of our butter, cooking with it to enhance the taste of their Azeri cuisine. But it’s not just any Anchor butter they are after. They particularly love the colour, aroma and taste of butter from our Whareroa site – so much so that they even know the factory code number which is printed on each pack, and check to make sure they are getting Whareroa-made butter.

In Malaysia our Anlene range of specially enriched milk has been focused on improving people’s health and mobility for more than 20 years. Over the past 10 years Anlene conducted more than 1.4 million bone health scans – that’s equivalent to scanning the entire population of Auckland.

40 years in the milk-delivery It’s not often these days you find someone who’s had the same job for 40 years – let alone a job that requires working seven days a week.

Charlie and Esma Hill have though. Erin Tasker reports.

C

harlie Hill remembers when milk cost just five pence a bottle.

He was a schoolkid at the time, working as a milk delivery boy for some pocket money.

Back then, he probably never dreamed that in the year 2016 he’d still be doing the same job and marking 40 years since owning his very own first run.

But he is – Wednesday marked he and wife Esma’s 40-year anniversary in the milk business – and they couldn’t be happier.

Charlie’s first experience delivering milk was back in the day where milk was delivered to homes via cars towing trailers; something a lot of people under 40 probably won’t even remember.

Today, it’s a completely different picture. Home deliveries are no more, but Charlie and wife Esma are delivering probably more products than before. It’s

about more than just milk today; they deliver a vast array of dairy products.

Forty years ago the couple bought the Triangle dairy and deli, which had a small milk run with it, and a milk licence – back in the days when you had to apply to the New Zealand Milk

“Once you had that you had a stepping stone to go further up the ladder, so six years later when one of the guys in town retired and the guy from Methven transferred to Ashburton, I transferred to the Methven run.”

They then picked up one of the

and-a-half years later the milk company asked if I could go back up to Methven, so we took it back on, and at that stage home delivery had disappeared in Methven,” Charlie said.

By then, the Rakaia and Methven runs had also merged.

“Both runs were heavily subsi-

“Then I bought the other run in Allenton and sold the Methven run, and just concentrated on the runs in town, but then four-

dised, but they halved that and we nearly went broke,” Charlie said.

“The truck I had then, we were paying 23 per cent interest on it, so I had to do some negotiating

with the milk company. We negotiated our way through and things started getting better for us.

“We were able to make cutbacks and cut out the home deliveries at Rakaia, and they reintroduced a subsidy.”

By then, the Hills’ patch was big and life was busy. In the ski season, Charlie would leave home at 10.30am and often not get home until more than 12 hours later.

“Then the milk company gave us all the food part of the business, the likes of cheese, cream cheese, bacon and ham, which was under Mainland days, and they gave us the delis, the cafes and businesses, so we had a bit more on our portfolio. And by that stage there were only three or four milk vendors left in town,” Charlie said.

An eight-week trip to the United Kingdom to visit their daughters Charlotte and Sheree was followed by news that the

business and still loving it Left – Esma and Charlie Hill marked 40 years in the milk delivery business this week.

Hampstead/Tinwald run was theirs if they wanted it, but they had just 10 days to get it all organised with the busy Christmas patch just round the corner. They did it though.

“I had the two trucks on the road then because we were only going to Methven and Rakaia three days a week, so we were doing that early in the morning and coming back and doing the cafes etc.”

By then, home deliveries were becoming a thing of the past.

They cut back the number of days, before stopping it all together.

When partial deregulation hit, allowing supermarkets to sell milk, the landscape changed.

Up until then you could only get milk through dairies and home deliveries.

Milk vendors like the Hills weren’t able to change their prices, while supermarkets were making it cheaper, and that, Charlie said, was the beginning of

the end for home deliveries.

“It just got to the stage we were pouring money down a black hole. We couldn’t just keep doing home deliveries for nostalgic reasons.”

Tully: Anatomy of a cold As convicted killer John Tully sits in his prison cell contemplating the second-longest sentence ever handed down in New Zealand, Guardian reporter Michelle Nelson looks back on the anatomy of a murderer through the eyes of the media.

RUSSELL JOHN TULLY in 2011 (above) and 2014 (right).

R

ussell John Tully first appeared on the Guardian’s pages in a feature piece, written by Daniel Henderson in December 2011.

Tully rode into his hometown on a BWM touring bike. He looked the part, a cashed up and carefree bogan, fresh from the outback mines of Western Australia – eager to speak about his fortunate life and the $2500 he pocketed after tax each week.

It was his media debut – Google his name now and you’ll turn up almost half a million hits.

Daniel’s story reads as if Tully is back in Ashburton to brag. Indeed New World supermarket produce manager Brian Shimmin recalled reading of Tully’s success when he gave evidence of seeing him at the store hours before he murdered Peg Noble and Leigh Cleveland in cold blood.

Tully was known as Russell when he played on the same primary school rugby team as Brian. He was by all accounts, totally unremarkable. Others described him as a bit of a loner; that slightly odd boy, without any close friends.

By 2013, the year after he told his story to Daniel, he’s back in New Zealand, calling himself John, on a “somewhat downward spiral”, Justice Cameron Mander said, before sentencing Tully to life with no chance of parole for 27 years on two counts of murder, one of attempted murder and for illegally possessing firearms last month.

But the facts mentioned in court painted a different story to the one he had told Daniel All was not as it seemed for the boy who grew up in a “normal family” and went to school in Ashburton, completed an apprenticeship, married and forged a decade-long

career as a diesel mechanic in the Australian mining industry.

Cracks were appearing before he jumped the ditch. In November 2002 he appeared in the Blenheim District Court where he was convicted on charges of threatening to kill and possessing a firearm.

A disgruntled Tully had apparently pointed the weapon at his landlord who was attempting to serve him with an eviction notice, threatening to “waste” him.

In Australia he became embroiled in confrontations at work and walked off jobs. He appeared in the minor offences court in the West Australian city of Bunbury on disorder charges.

Against this backdrop Tully returned to New Zealand in 2013. He surfed around camping grounds in Rangiora, Waikuku and Kaiapoi for several months, reportedly asked to move on several times.

By August, 2014, he was back in Ashburton, homeless and claiming to have a terminal illness. Back home “to die”, he told Guardian reporter Toni Graham on August 6.

And despite not paying tax or superannuation in New Zealand for 10 years, Tully was demanding more than his share of state-funded entitlements.

He told Toni he was living in his car. A couple of days later he was back at the Guardian, to say he had sold his car to free-up money and was camping in the domain.

Then 48 years old, Tully was on a disability benefit, claiming to have an undiagnosed skin disease which caused boil-type lumps and stiff joints, limiting his movement.

He said it would kill him; his doctor said he should have a mobility scooter.

No medical evidence supporting these claims was produced during

his trial, however Tully was a familiar face at local pharmacies where he regularly purchased peroxide to treat the professed skin condition.

And there was no sign of any impediment to his movement when he made off on a pushbike after the shootings and managed to evade capture for much of the day on September 1, 2014.

On his last visit to the Guardian, Tully had found an empty state house on Racecourse Road, had set up camp in the driveway and wanted to publicise the fact.

He was campaigning in his own self-interest. Both Justice Mander and Crown prosecutor Andrew McRae delved into Tully’s “grandiose sense of entitlement” during last month’s sentencing.

As August 2014 drew to a close, Tully was supposedly living rough on the banks of the Ashburton River, stoking his rage and planning murder.

Tully’s homeless story never really rang true. Each time he turned up at the Guardian he was clean and well groomed. From his polished pate to his clean-shaved chin. He often wore a crisp denim shirt – he didn’t look like a homeless person; he didn’t smell like a homeless person.

Water in the Ashburton River is toxic, infected with algae and e-coli for much of the year – signs warn people not to swim there or to let their dogs do so. Even so, it was winter and extremely cold; no one goes into the river water least of all to wash clothing or shave heads and homeless people tend not to prioritise ironing.

Tully appeared to be wearing the same denim shirt in court last month, shackled to a corrections officer and surrounded by three others.

LETTER TO THE EDITO The tragic events at David, I met you on Moore Street, the morning of 1st September 2014 after you had chased a man who had just shot and killed two innocent women and wounded another in the Ashburton WINZ office.

What I saw that day, from the opposite side of Moore Street was an act of courage. You had seen the gunman murder in cold blood, you ran but then challenged the gunman and attempted to apprehend him all the while knowing he just shot and killed

Corrections staff were the only support Tully had in court – bearing in mind they were paid to be there. He was described as being estranged from his family and appeared to be friendless.

His sentencing began in chambers, an event which involved the media pack gathered for the occasion shuffling through to High Court 2.

We can’t talk about what hap-

several people. The bravery I witnessed that day should not go unrecognised. Kia kaha my friend, your actions reflect the deeds of Ngarimu and Apiata. You should be recognised for your actions on that day.

I wish you well for the future. You are a brave and fine man, and society needs more like you, not only in desperate times but every single day. Ko koe he kaitoae Rawiri, kia oha ahau i a koe.

To the police assigned to the case, and to those I have had dealings with

pened there, but suffice to say it became apparent Tully and amicus curia James Rapley were still at odds.

In the lead-up to the trial he had sacked at least six lawyers and as a result was advised by Mr Rapley and his colleague Phil Shamy.

Later, in open court, Tully accused the Crown of corruption, along with Mr Rapley and Mr Shamy.

-blooded murderer

RUSSELL JOHN TULLY in 2016.

R WINZ on 1/9/2014 over this tragic incident. I do not envy your task dealing with matters such as these and I salute you for your level of professionalism and the general manner in which you handled yourselves for the protection of our community.

To the crown prosecution team, thank you for your hard work, the questions you posed and your attention to detail.

This experience has given me an insight into how hard you gentlemen work.

To the families of those who were killed or injured, you have

my deepest sympathies.

Words cannot express how I feel for your loss. I hope in some way myself and fellow people involved in this tragedy have in some way helped to see justice served and bring closure to you and your families.

Have faith and stay strong for that is what Peg and Sue would have wished you to do.

I accept that this tragic event happened but it should never happen again.

Signed, anonymous

Speaking briefly in his own defence, he refuted the verdict, saying he had no recollection of killing Peg or Leigh. No memory of shooting Lindy Curtis or aiming his firearm at Kim Adams.

During his trial Work and Income employees described a manipulative man, continually demanding the assistance he insisted he was entitled to. The agency paid for dental work and a pushbike,

but he wanted more.

He had arrived in Ashburton with a warning from Work and Income’s Blenheim office; he was tagged as a difficult client from the get-go.

He often wore gloves and signed documents with an X, claiming to be incapable of signing his name.

It was the same mark he had printed on the stickers he used to label his belongings and bullets found

at the scene in the aftermath of the shootings.

The women also spoke of Tully’s anger when he was told some of the grants were in fact loans, which would be repaid by way of deductions from his benefit.

He ripped the agreement up.

On one occasion he staged a sitin lasting several hours, speaking loudly to media outlets on speaker phone.

His demanding and intimidating behaviour resulted in Work and Income’s Ashburton branch obtaining a trespass order against him.

Tully also targeted the district’s charities. He was well known to the Salvation Army and Presbyterian Support Services. He visited the Ashburton District Council offices, the police station, the JP signing centre and Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew’s office.

He told his hard-luck story to anyone who would listen.

Once his tale of homelessness and despair broke in the Guardian several people offered to help.

Tully stayed briefly with an old mate, who empathised with his plight.

It didn’t end well. Almost immediately Tully began exerting his control. He refused to pay his share of the bills, was rude to visitors, refused to eat off plates and holed up in his room for hours on end. When he was asked to move on, Tully warned the man to cross the road if he ever saw him coming.

Emergency accommodation had been found in a local camping ground. That only lasted a couple of days – Tully was evicted after throwing another guest’s belongings out of the building.

His narcissistic personality traits were also raised during sentenc-

ing, by Mr McRae, Mr Rapley and Justice Mander.

Numerous psychiatric evaluations had determined his personality traits were not sufficiently serious as to have influenced his decision-making, nor was he found to have been mentally ill at the time of the shootings.

Tully disputed these findings, claiming his head was “full of staph (staphylococcal infection)” and he was suffering from MRSA skin infections.

None of this quackery stopped him from carefully planning to murder as many Work and Income employees as he could 18 months earlier, Justice Mander determined.

He said Tully had procured two firearms prior to the Work and Income deaths, including the pump-action sawn-off shot gun he used to kill Peg Noble and Leigh Cleveland, to wound Lindy Curtis and to fire the bullet which missed Kim Adams by a couple of centimetres.

That weapon remains missing to this day.

He planned his movements; breakfasted on East Street, visited a supermarket – and stocked up on peroxide.

Work and Income client David Cooze was speaking to Peg when Tully opened fire at point-blank range. After ushering others out of the building, he confronted Tully as he attempted to unlock his pushbike.

In doing so he rattled Tully, causing him to drop his bike helmet, leaving valuable DNA evidence which later put him at the scene.

David was described as a hero by Justice Mander and later decorated by police for his bravery.

In delivering his sentence, Jus-

tice Mander said Tully had reacted badly to the end of his marriage and had abused alcohol and illegal drugs for years.

He was using methamphetamine, cannabis and synthetic highs, receiving treatment for drug-induced psychosis on at least two occasions.

He was on a “somewhat downward spiral” when he returned to Ashburton.

While awaiting trial, Tully wrote to former editor of the Guardian Stu Oldhan from prison asking for a copy of the story Daniel had written two years earlier.

It was a bizarre letter, written as though the shocking events of September 1, 2014, had never happened.

But according to Tully they never did.

This is not a case of a good man driven to the brink of despair by a callous system.

Tully has a history of violence, he has been a heavy user of hard drugs, he is consumed by his own sense of self-importance and fixated on his perceived ill health – and is a man who has not shown a skerrick of remorse for his crimes.

He is still a simmering cauldron of resentment, with more grudges than ever to settle.

Unfortunately I don’t think we’ve seen the last of him.

At his sentencing Tully chose not to “say a lot” in his own defence in the event it could impact on his planned appeal to the court’s decision.

While it is reasonable to assume he has a decent wad of money stashed away in an Australian superannuation fund, it will no doubt fall upon the New Zealand taxpayer to foot the bill for a new trial.

Sun shines as kids go cross-country

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

After postponing the Mid Canterbury Primary Schools’ Crosscountry run due to heavy rain on Tuesday night, pupils from 12 schools competed in fine weather

at the Ashburton Showgrounds yesterday.

Amongst a very high level of competition, Bryanna Scott of Hinds was the quickest of the Year 5 girls, while Ashburton Borough’s Will Saunders took

out the Year 5 boys’ honours.

In the year 6 girls, Hinds’ Emma Becroft placed first and Oskar Trafford, of Longbeach, was the best of the Year 6 boys.

Longbeach’s Ella Pearson and Mount Hutt’s Reuben Brown took

top podium places in the Year 7 girls’ and boys’ respectively while Jenna Borthwick of Longbeach and Dorie’s Jake Jackaways won the Year 8 section.

The top six of each race qualified for the Christchurch Zones

Cross-country champs, and Primary Sports Co-ordinator Brooke Morshuis credited all of the competitors for their fine effort.

“It was fantastic, really smooth, great running and it was nice and sunny,” she said.

All Blacks will have one eye on the future

By GreGor Paul As much as the All Blacks need to win their three-test series against Wales this month, they also need to prepare for the Rugby Championship.

There’s no question Wales are a good side.

They can play a bit of rugby and have a handful of players who will be back next year with the Lions.

But just as true is that tougher challenges lie ahead and the All

Blacks have to be conscious that the series this June has dual objectives.

The All Blacks need to establish new patterns, new structures and gain some sense of what their strongest side looks like.

There is a new captain and leadership team and they need time to develop their skills and understanding of one another.

Players such as Sam Cane, Aaron Cruden and Malakai Fekitoa have waited what for them will

feel like an age to be given their big chance to cement their starting places.

They need game time to settle into their new roles.

The All Blacks are, however, also aware that in their ranks are six new caps and a few others who have only brief test experience.

If possible, coach Steve Hansen would like to give the new boys a taste of the action.

There would be reluctance to head into the Rugby Champion-

ship without having seen how the likes of Liam Squire, Elliot Dixon and Ardie Savea cope with the step up.

It would be a huge ask if one or more of them had to make their debut against the Wallabies or Springboks.

The selectors would rather see them gently phased in against Wales and this will be one of the more fascinating sub-plots of the series.

How much of a taste will Hans-

en be willing to give the new players?

With the final test of the series in Dunedin, the All Blacks might sense that would be the time to take a few selection risks.

But it’s unlikely that Damian McKenzie will be seen on the field.

The 21-year-old is expected to be kept under wraps for the series and is largely with the squad to get used to life as an All Black and fast track his game understanding and skill execution.

Mid Canterbury’s senior, masters and women’s football teams will return to action this weekend following the abandonment of all fixtures in the region to preserve pitches a week ago.

Mid Canterbury seniors will be on the road again to face FC Twenty Falcons at Burnside Park as they look to return to the top of the men’s division two points table.

A 4-2 loss to Coastal Spirit three weeks ago pinned United back to

fourth place on the ladder, one point adrift of Spirit, Halswell and FC Twenty Bombers, who all sit on 17 points.

A win over Falcons today will keep United well in contention, and, providing other results go their way, could see Martin Fitzgerald’s side return to the top.

Meanwhile, Mid Canterbury’s Masters will take on Coastal Spirit Masters at the Ashburton Domain today.

In brief

■ RUGBY

Mental skills a vital area

By Wynne Gray On a raw winter’s night in Christchurch at a dimly-lit training ground, three men spoke about getting the best out of their rugby team.

Coach Wayne Smith and adviser Gilbert Enoka were in unison but the Canterbury B captain, a burly centre, needed convincing that new methods would be enduringly beneficial.

Now there is no greater advocate for the power of mental skills and leadership techniques.

Since Steve Hansen embraced the idea, he has used it throughout his coaching career.

He has accelerated the acceptance of Enoka as a mental skills coach inside the All Black tent and encouraged his influence.

“It’s Steve who has actually given it jet speed and propelled it into the performance landscape in a way that is really assisting us to deliver good skill sets to the men who have to go to war every week,” Enoka confirmed.

Conversations with the 57-year-old former Kiwi volleyball international are laced with metaphors and messages about

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen with Gilbert Enoka. the power of learning.

Enoka has picked up degrees in arts and psychology and run alongside the All Blacks.

His case for inclusion is simple and one, he argues, more companies should consider.

If people are ill, they go to their GP but for an eye problem they go to a specialist, and the same for knees or nose troubles.

“For some reason, people have left the domain of the mind out of it.

“Most of the obstacles people face and the hurdles they have difficulty overcoming come from how they are going to navigate themselves through things relating to hurdles about mindsets and structures to help move them.”

Sceptics had to break prejudices about dealing with shrinks who talked gobbledygook.

Widening mental skills helps people reach their targets more efficiently and was another

weapon in life and sport.

World rugby greats Richie McCaw and Daniel Carter were no different in needing guidance.

Enoka had watched McCaw from his 2001 debut to his 148th and final test, seen his progress and helped with that.

It was a case of guiding rather than educating in a formal sense.

There is no menu – it is reacting to situations and individuals.

All react differently.

“Every week is different. Sometimes there’s a chat in the corridor, there is no couch involved.

“Some of the best work is done alongside the coaches where the movement that needs to happen is in my domain rather than that of the coaches.”

Decades back, sports psychology and mental skills were ugly duckling areas and if anyone wanted help, people assumed they were ill.

As word circulated and people got to know Enoka, others inquired.

He’s been to four World Cups, two with poor results and two with the best outcome and now has his sights on the hat-trick in Japan in 2019.

College up against it

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Having played six and lost six, things won’t be getting any easier for Ashburton College’s 1st XV when they take on Burnside High School in the seventh round of the UC Championship in Christchurch today.

College took on St Thomas last weekend and were beaten 31-10 in a fixture that most identified as Dave McCrea’s side’s best chance of a victory against a fellow winless team.

McCrea said he is expecting a physical battle against a Burnside outfit that boasts good ball carriers and plenty of pace.

“It’s going to be right up there.

“They will be very direct, they’ve got some good ball carriers,” he said.

“We need to improve defensively, but we’ve addressed that.”

College will be boosted by the return of outside back Kerry Claydon-Wade following a concussion layoff and Milsy Ste-

phan-Tahuri, who will return at centre after being unavailable due to sickness last Saturday.

It’s likely, though, that College will be without the flair of midfielder Ali Prescott and number eight Elama Touli, who are both carrying knee injuries.

Ashburton College 1st XV: Western Bartlett, Ricus van Zeyl, Milsy Stephan-Tahuri, Tololima Savaiinara, Kerry Claydon-Wade, Liam O’Connor, Liam McCormack, Joe Todhunter, Devin Coyle, Max Stapleton (Capt), Jack Harrex, Ashton McArthur, Joel

Leo, Josh Wotton, Connor Breen.

Reserves: Jonathan Aiono, Troy Vainerere, Nuku Langi, Elama Touli, Iakapo Iakapp, Alifeleti Prescott.

Burnside High School 1st XV: Emerson McKee, Marc Chaney, Mikaele Ravalawa, Nick Wilson, Riain Lynch, Noah Chamberlain, Wills McCarthy, Jacob Mataiti, Cam Russell (Capt), Chris Bainbridge, Jason Eembling, Cam Porter, Tiaki Mahanga, Perry Karati, Shota Okuno. Reserves: Aidan Conrad-Hinga, Justin Driver, Zach Murphy, Jerome Karakia-Brown, Ben Carter, Jaydin Wilson, James Glynn.

Pinetree turned 80 yesterday.

Anyone with any interest in rugby knows that means Colin Meads, the legendary All Black lock, has hit another milestone.

Anecdotes about Meads and stories about his feats fill volumes of New Zealand rugby history.

Not so well known is the tale of his nickname and how New Zealand Colts team-mate Roger Boon coined the term when they toured Australia and Ceylon in 1955.

“We had a chap down in New Plymouth we called the Whistling Pinetree,” Boon recalled.

“He was very tall and very awkward to sit behind at the theatre and he used to walk down our street a lot.

“We used to call him the Whistling Pinetree in the late 40s and it just came out one day looking at Meads.

“I think I might have been talking to Ross Brown and said how much that kind of name would suit Colin.”

The response, the reaction?

“I think he adapted. We’re still friends so I guess it came across okay.

“It might have been a native timber but just Tree sounded good, he was like one. On that first trip, he was only a teenager.

“He always appeared to be big.

He was all gristle and muscle, an incredible rugby player and definitely one of the best I ever played with.”

Boon has not seen Meads for a while, although they caught up at a fundraising reunion evening for New Plymouth Boys’ High and he wants to get to an All Black reunion.

“I’d like that because we seem to be running out of a few these days.”

■ NETBALL

Methven crushes United Week three of round two produced wins for Ashburton College, Celtic and Methven in Thursday evening’s Premier Grade Netball fixtures at the EA Networks Centre Stadium.

Ashburton College 29 Hampstead 19 After downing Cashmere High School by four goals in their SuperNet fixture on Wednesday evening, College faced another tough test against Hampstead on Thursday.

College came into the tie after downing United 32-23 in their last premier grade outing, while Hampstead were still in search of their maiden win in round two after falling to both Southern and Celtic in the last fortnight.

After a highly competitive opening 10 minutes, Hampstead went into quarter time with a narrow 8-6 lead.

Some good possession play from Hampstead and College’s lack of accurate passing proved the slim difference between the two in the opening stanza.

Both teams returned for an evenly matched second quarter and could not be separated for an 11-all half time score, but College upped the intensity from then on.

College goal shoot Grace Wilson found her range and punished Hampstead with some fine finishing as Ange Mitchell’s side played with more confidence and conviction to outscore Hampstead 8-4 in the third quarter.

The school girls produced more of the same in the last 10 minutes as captain Shannon Stockdale, at wing attack, controlled the tempo of her team’s attack to push the result out to a 10-goal deficit, at 29-19.

College coach Mitchell said her players were out to improve on Wednesday’s SuperNet display, despite taking the win.

“We won by four goals against Cashmere but none of the girls were satisfied with the performance, so we were determined to improve,” she said.

Hampstead coach Cindy Meadows said her side’s failure to stick

Ashburton College recorded their second win of three outings in the second round of Premier Grade Netball on Thursday evening.

PHOTO AMANDA KONYN 020616-AK-036 to their game plan caused them to fall away in the second half after a tightly contested first and second quarter.

“It certainly was a game of two halves, the second half saw us veer away from our game plan,” she said.

“Grace’s (Wilson) accuracy at GS (goal shoot), especially in the third and fourth quarter (were the difference), overall we didn’t stick to our game plan.”

Methven 41 United 19 As the only side to prevent Methven from taking maximum points in a 23-all draw the last time the two sides met, the neutral

Thinking

fan could be forgiven for expected a close encounter – but that wasn’t to be the case.

Methven were as consistent as ever throughout a dominant contest. The reigning champions were 10-2 ahead at the end of the opening quarter, which seemed to knock the confidence out of United.

To make matters worse, United lost Monique Brake to injury early on.

Coach Anne Gilbert said it is unlikely Brake will return this season, after making a solid contribution to the cause.

The second quarter was much

of the same as Methven dictated play and United struggled to contain Greta Currie’s side for a 19-8 advantage at the interval.

Methven outscored United 9-6 again in the third quarter before netting 13 more times in the final stanza for a deserved 41-19 win.

United coach Anne Gilbert said it was a disappointing night for her players, who failed to recover from a poor start.

“It definitely wasn’t our night, we got off to a poor start and appeared to lose confidence – we allowed them to dictate play,” she said. “All credit to them, they played very well.”

Celtic 35 Southern 20 Following their premier grade debut heroics against Hampstead two weeks ago, Southern were beaten by Methven, and things weren’t about to get any easier in week three.

This season’s second most consistent team, Celtic, were on the agenda for Sonya Frew and Jodene Lowe’s ladies on Thursday.

Celtic found themselves 8-7 behind after a highly charged first quarter as the Southern faithful hoped for another upset.

Both sides then came out firing in the second quarter, but could not be separated as Southern matched Ange Leadley’s Greens goal-for-goal for a 12-all score at half time.

But if the first half showed Southern at their best, the second certainly left a lot to be desired.

Celtic began to dominate play and made the most of Southern’s errors to win the quarter 13-4 as Amanda Ward put in a solid shift under the hoop and Anna Holland held firm in defence to all but put the game out of reach.

Celtic then put up 10 more goals in the final 10 minutes to Southern’s four to offer support to the game of two halves cliché.

Leadley conceded that Celtic made a poor start, but was pleased with how her side responded.

“I think the girls just had a slow start.

“We discussed our game plan and started to play that in the second half,” she said.

“Southern put us under a bit of pressure and we didn’t respond well to that in the first part of the game.”

Southern co-coach Lowe said the second half offered a prime example to her players to be vigilant throughout in the premier grade, after being outscored 23-8 over the third and fourth quarters.

“We were disappointed with our game last night, and the girls are learning that you have to play a full 40 minutes in this grade,” she said.

“You can’t afford to have lapses or teams will punish you.”

Djokovic nearly disqualified

BY JOE BARTON World No.1 and raging French Open favourite Novak Djokovic admits he got lucky after going perilously close to being disqualified from the tournament following a careless racquet toss which narrowly missed a linesman.

Frustrated at having failed to convert a break point during the third set of his 6-3 7-5 6-3 quarter-final victory over seventh seed Tomas Berdych, Djokovic flung his racquet backwards where it crashed into the advertising boards behind.

But it was only the quick thinking of a linesman, who was forced into evasive action, which ensured the racquet didn’t collect him and put Djokovic’s bid for an elusive French title in jeopardy.

Had the racquet hit the linesman, Djokovic would almost certainly have been disqualified immediately.

“It’s obvious what I tried to do.

“I don’t understand your question,” Djokovic said when asked about the incident by a British journalist.

“I threw a racquet on the ground and it slipped and almost hit the line umpire.

“I was lucky there. That’s all.”

Djokovic immediately held up a hand in apology, but it was not enough to save him from a code violation handed down by umpire Eva Asderaki-Moore for racquet abuse.

The 11-times grand slam champion was also roundly criticised last month for shoving the arm of chair umpire Carlos Bernardes during a win over Rafael Nadal in Rome, but escaped sanction completely.

Djokovic insists he’s not worried that he is sailing too close to the wind and that one day a seemingly harmless incident could jeopardise a title run.

“I’m just not thinking about those kind of situations.

“I’m trying not to worry about it at all,” he said.

“I am aware that I have been lucky, and I apologised to people that have been in this particular situation with me and that could have been hurt by my racquet.

“But it was just some unfortunate bounce, but fortunate ending of that scenario.

“That’s all I can say.”

The incident in Rome led to Australian star Nick Kyrgios hinting at double standards within the tennis elite – declaring “it would be an absolute circus” if he’d done similar.

“But he did it (and) nothing really happened of it,” Kyrgios said.

“It speaks for itself.”

The win takes Djokovic through to his sixth-straight semi-final appearance at Roland Garros - the only grand slam he’s yet to conquer.

Meanwhile Kyrgios will not compete at the Rio Olympics after standing down from his ongoing battle with team boss Kitty Chiller.

The controversial Australian tennis star said that while representing Australia at the Games had been a childhood dream, it had been made clear to him the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) had other plans.

“AOC’s unfair and unjust treatment of me over the last four weeks, as well as the organisation’s crystal clear position on whether they want me to be a part of the Australian Olympic team, has solidified my final decision,” Kyrgios said. - AAP

■ OPINION

tate of Origin league used to be a classic, not-tobe-missed spectacle that involved flair, innovation, sparkling rugby league – and the much-vaunted mate-v-mate biffo.

Watching Wednesday night’s edition, the first of this year’s best-of-three competition, I didn’t see much of, well any of the above.

Sure it was an intense, muscular contest between two groups of the top league players in the land, and if you’re into the best of defensive systems to stop games developing into any sort of enjoyable exhibition then you’d be a happy fan (especially if you’re a Cane Toad one).

But really, you can see that level of play most weekends in the NRL, and despite the hype that the promoters and broadcasters forced upon us for weeks leading up to Wednesday night’s game, there’s a magic ingredient missing.

was a nothing.

You don’t need to go back to the all-in, bloody brawls of the late 80s, the 2009 final game, won

by New South Wales, was as seriously feisty as you could ask for.

After a frenzied battle that constantly threatened to explode all across the park, with only seconds to go Queensland was awarded a penalty.

A kick to touch would have ended it all, but Cameron Smith (not Darren Lockyer as is generally believed) asked for the ball and launched a bomb that would become infamous.

The Blues’ Kurt Gidley bravely took the ball, and was hit by a wall of ferocious Maroons, and all hell broke loose.

Our favourite honorary Kiwi Steve Price would not have fond memories of the next few minutes, in fact he probably has none because he was laid out unconscious, while various battles raged around him, long after the clock had ticked over fulltime.

Eventually there were pointless yellow cards dished out, and threats and dire warnings issued between players who in the next few days would again be playing alongside each other in their club teams – but the Origin legend had been suitably added to, with all parties happy (sort of).

The problem is, that sort of thing, which is built up as part of the whole Origin ideal, just isn’t going to happen any more.

A punch is going to cost you too much time off; retaliatory action is a no-no, and intimidatory actions resulting in the combat that the punters crave is something that society now frowns upon.

Bring back the biff?

Sorry, it ain’t going to happen.

Injured Melbourne halfback Cooper Cronk is considered unlikely to play in the NRL clash with Penrith at AAMI Park tonight. Cronk was still to undergo a medical check on his injured ankle on Friday after fog delayed his return from Sydney, where he was part of Queensland’s winning start to the State of Origin series. Coach Craig Bellamy said it would be “hard to imagine” Cronk being able to play, but he expected skipper Cameron Smith to back up.

‘Support crew’ does the job

By Jon KrawczynsKi The Cleveland Cavaliers kept the “Splash Brothers” at bay during Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Even that wasn’t enough against the defending champions, and LeBron James and the rest of the Cavs walked off the court knowing they had squandered a golden opportunity.

The Cavaliers shot 38 per cent and couldn’t find a way to stop the Golden State Warriors’ supporting cast in a 104-89 loss yesterday.

Playing in his sixth straight NBA Finals, James delivered with 23 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists.

Kevin Love was strong as well in his finals debut with 17 points and 13 boards.

The Warriors’ “Splash Brothers,” Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, combined for just 20 points on 8-for-27 shooting, but Leandro Barbosa, Shaun Livingston and the Warriors bench picked up the slack.

Barbosa scored 11 points on 5-for-5 shooting, Livingston scored 20 points and Iguodala had 12.

“For the most part I’m pleased with what we did defensively against Steph and Klay,” Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue said.

“Their bench did a good job for them.”

The Cavaliers bench was outscored 45-10, the Warriors scored 25 points off 17 Cleveland turnovers and the Cavs succumbed to a tide they never saw coming.

“We can’t gift them points like that,” Lue said. “We’ll be better next game.”

PHOTO AP Kyrie Irving scored 26 points, but shot just 7 of 22.

Tristan Thompson had 10 points and 12 rebounds for the Cavs, who are trying to end a professional sports championship drought in Cleveland that extends back five decades.

All of the talk for the Cavaliers heading into the finals rematch was about the ability of Irving and Love — two defensively deficient players — to keep the high-

scoring Warriors in front of them.

Curry and Thompson didn’t have the field day that many expected, but the Cavs could never capitalise.

The Cavs threw everything they had at Curry, the two-time Most Valuable Player, just as Lue said they would.

James, Irving, J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Matthew Dellavedova. They all took a crack at him, while Tristan Thompson and

Love gave Curry forearm shivers and shoulder checks every time they had a chance.

“This was a strange game for us,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “We’re not used to having both Steph and Klay off like that with their shooting.”

James eyes second Oaks Cambridge trainer Roger James has no idea how Romantic Maid might handle a wet track for today’s Gr.1 Queensland Oaks but can list few other negatives for the progressive High Chaparral filly.

Romantic Maid arrived in Brisbane earlier this week after a last-start Randwick R70 win clinched her a spot in the three-year-old fillies Classic at Eagle Farm. She has now won three of her six starts and goes into the Oaks (2400m) in peak order.

The patient approach

Dunn’s inside knowledge key at Cambridge Nobody has a better insight into just how destructive the biggest plunge horse of Harness Jewels day can be than champion driver Dexter Dunn.

But even armed with that firsthand knowledge, Dunn thinks he can beat Titan Banner with fouryear-old Emerald favourite Field Marshal.

Titan Banner has been a dramatic mover in Jewels markets, being as long as $26 before joining the Purdon-Rasmussen stable but around $3 now, after a stunning last-start victory over Christen Me at Addington.

Dunn was, as usual, driving Christen Me that day and was impressed by what Titan Banner did.

But not impressed enough to be worried he can sit outside Field Marshal and beat him at Cambridge today.

“Titan Banner was great at Addington but this is a very different sort of race,” says Dunn.

“I am sure I will lead because my horse has super quick gate

speed and he is also tough enough to roll along.

“So while there are a few horses there who can keep going forward, they are going to need to do something special to beat my fella.”

On a day when draws haven’t been kind to some favourites – most notably Monbet, Dream About Me and More The Better – their sheer class may prevail.

But reverse that and you realise that Field Marshal, who has won the Taylor Mile and Messenger at his last two starts, should be leading in a race where his main rival is likely to be working three wide for much of the first 600-800m, and it becomes extremely hard to make a case to bet against him.

Especially when Field Marshal reeled off a 26.5 second last 400m at the Cambridge workouts last Saturday, suggesting a colic attack 17 days ago has not hampered him.

Another southerner hoping to use gate speed on a proven Group One performer today is Nathan Williamson, who partners Democrat Party in the opening race.

Dexter Dunn is confident he can hold off Titan Banner in the 4-Y-O Emerald Pace today.

Williamson has never won a Group One pacing race but the mare has, having claimed the scalps of The Orange Agent and Fight For Glory in the past.

After an easy all-the-way win in weaker company at Alexandra Park last week many are rating Miss Daisy a chance to try for a repeat today, and if she holds the front then potential trailer Rocker Band will emerge as a huge danger.

But Williamson says the gate

speed Democrat Party showed in a far stronger race with a quicker lead time last Friday has boosted his confidence.

“She flew off the gate last week and I think we can get the top,” he offers.

“I won’t be scared to put the pressure on because she has beaten good horses before and if she gets the top then she will be awfully hard to beat.”

It is hard to argue with Williamson but if a few others have the same attitude – including not only Miss Daisy but Lusty Mac and Cambridge specialist Bettor B Amazed, then the race could open up and bring those back in the field into play.

But that is the thing about punting on those settling back in mile races run at Cambridge: unless they are clearly superior it becomes a game of bet-andhope.

Whereas backing previous Group One winners with good draws and aggressive young drivers is a far more likely recipe for a successful day on the punt.

Matamata trainer Karyn McQuade isn’t in any hurry with her capable winter performer Kindaleica. “He went a really good race first-up, but his next two runs weren’t that flash,” she said. “The drier tracks knocked him a bit so he’s having three weeks to freshen up.

It looks like the winter may go on a bit longer this year so there’s no great rush with him.” Kindaleica won the Listed Karaka Classic earlier this season and finished runner-up in the Listed Matamata Cup. - NZME

Stakes performer back Black type winner Southern Sav is back in work with trainers Michael and Matthew Pitman. He is in the early stages of a new campaign with his longer-term aim the New Zealand Cup carnival at Riccarton, where he performed so well during his last preparation. He won the Listed Metropolitan Trophy Handicap before he finished runner-up in the NZ Cup. - NZME

OUR VIEW

Maybe it’s time to focus on the bigger picture Linda Clarke

T

here is some serious money being spent on the chunk of land in Ashburton’s central business district that will be home to the Eastfield precinct.

It is money that developers/ investors have chosen to spend here. Not in Christchurch or Auckland.

Money that shows not only a financial investment they no doubt hope will yield a return, but an investment in the future of our town.

It doesn’t give the developers the right to build what they like, but it should earn the support of elected Ashburton District councillors and council staff paid to make sure our district is a safe, vibrant and forward-looking, financially-viable district.

The developers, council people and ratepayers actually all want the same thing – a good variety of places to shop and work, and a good variety of places to eat and drink.

So do CBD retailers and that is why they are so riled up about council’s parking charges.

They say they’re trying to stay in business in the face of competition from online shopping and big box retailers with free parking. They also know East Street needs to change and a new long-term plan is part of that.

The council could give them a break with an hour’s free parking, at least until a plan for the future is sorted. A plan that includes the Eastfield development and the council’s own administration and library building.

What would that free parking cost? Probably several thousand dollars in actual cash, but it would generate some serious goodwill, not only between retailers and council, but retailers and shoppers, and shoppers and council.

The number of responses to our Facebook post about the current pay and display meters shows shoppers clearly hate them.

Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay says Eastfield will be a catalyst for redevelopment of the CBD, so gifting an hour’s free parking until the bigger picture is in focus could stop a battle escalating.

YOUR VIEW Parking Talk about pulling my hair out (wish I had some to do so) after reading the article in the paper [Ashburton Guardian] on May 27.

I could not believe what I was reading.

We have met with the council staff and also all the councillors, both meetings went very well I thought.

Then to read in Monday’s paper, God bless the council, they are going to halve the parking fee, they have missed the point completely.

It’s not about $1 or 50 cents, it’s about the convenience and ease of shopping in the CBD. You guys need to get out of the office and on to the street, walk up to someone at the PAD machines, as Hoops has named them, and ask the public how they are going.

CRUMB

I dare you, no, I double dare you.

I will come with you to give you some support, you will need it, guys it is that bad. As we have seen over the past week, it is in the paper, on the radio – people are signing the petition flat out, what more do you guys need to get the idea.

The CBD is dying, there will soon be another empty shop on East Street and the council’s own numbers of the revenue out of parking is showing this.

How far does it have to go before our elected councillors man up and make the hard decision and lose a few dollars to have a CBD in the years to come.

There has already been a new shopping centre approved by the council, eg Countdown by the bridge, and yes I have heard there will not be other shops going there – as Tui says, yeah right.

by David Fletcher

Have you had a look at Amberley lately? Big Countdown shop, 10 or so shops in the complex, and the same amount of empty shops on the main street.

The council has not spent one cent on improving the CBD for 20-30 years, apart from the $100,000 for the PAD machines that DON’T WORK. Come on guys, we don’t want to be hitting heads on this, it’s such an easy decision, and saying the rates have to go up is a cop-out.

Work it out, it will be about $20 per rateable property and with the average of four people, it’s $5 per year. The maths are not hard to work out.

One hour free parking is all we are asking for. It is that simple, period.

Every day more and more people are saying the whole situation is unworkable. Do the right thing.

Bob McDonald CBD retailer

Water bottling According to expert scientific opinion it is probably for the best that the proposed water bottling plant comes on stream, as we will all need to purchase our drinking water from somewhere in the not-too-far distant future.

Apparently the cumulative effect of pouring nitrate-laden manures on the pasture land because of intensive dairy farming will become more obvious in the next two to five years as the leachate pollutes our aquifers thereby rendering our present water supply too toxic for human consumption without hugely expensive water purification systems.

Who will pay for this?

A desk jockey’s guide to health and safety R

ighto, let’s rip into the updated Health and Safety Work Act and what it truly means for the average office warrior.

Bear in mind, the changes to the act were put in place to ensure you don’t walk into a sinkhole in the staffroom after a colleague nuked their Big Ben pie for too long and created a miniChernobyl.

Worker responsibility: In a stroke of madness, Ima Fuitcake (the author of the new amendments) decided that office safety begins with you, the humble Knight of the Keyboard. What a stunning conclusion to reach.

Yes, after four million years of evolution it turns out that you are responsible for yourself! Strewth!

This was spelled out in small words for us educationalists (how often have I heard people say we don’t work in the real world) in a ministry publication. It states “workers must take reasonable care for their own health and safety”.

So what does that look like?

Never fear you Edifice of Office Efficiency, I your humble uncivil servant will guide you through the hailstorm of hazards you are likely to encounter in a typical office.

Begin with an inspection of your throne. Do you have a gas lift chair? Carefully check for leaks around the inner strut gaskets and eight-valve hydroponic lifting lever.

Place your lily white glutis maximus on the pre-formed posterior

Peter Livingstone OUT OF SCHOOL

pad and check for leaks again.

Be aware some leakage is due to your health, not the safety of the equipment. Run multiple diagnostic analysis tests by engaging the lever, creating an ascending and descending motion for yourself. Disclaimer – in the event of a catastrophic failure and subsequent impalement upon the gas strut, it’s your fault, not mine.

Move on to your horizontal analogue interface (desk) and carefully cast an untrained eye over the surface. Do you see any pieces of loose fibrous material with imprinted text? This material, commonly known as paper, looks harmless but hides a real level of risk for your health. Scientists from Outer Mongolia have discovered that workers who rid themselves of all paper on their desk, feel slightly more better than a nomad sitting around a yak dung firepit.

My advice (which I freely give but never follow) is sweep your horizontal analogue interface clean of all paper and activate your personal procrastination digital device.

Now that you have a chair that works and a clear desk, look at your afore-mentioned personal

procrastination digital device, also known as a laptop or desktop computer. Check the device is correctly powered by licking the plug end that goes into the device. Do this while it is plugged in and switched on. The resulting tingling, muscle contracting sensation lets you know your nervous system has more response in it, than a housing minister confronted with the unassailable fact that there is a housing crisis in Auckland.

At this point I may have lost you as you may have become ensnared in mindless cat or redneck-fail videos. If you are still with me, position the screen so that co-workers cannot instantly observe your Pinterest habits and open up the government treasury website (yes they have one, thrilling stuff!)

Keep this website minimised or behind your Facebook tag so that should you be interrupted you can bring it up and convince anyone you were deeply absorbed in fiscal policy and the finer nuances of a budget that even an auditor couldn’t get enthusiastic about.

Now leave your Domain of Depression and venture forth towards the station of crushed beans, crystallised glucose and the Fonterra Fountain – otherwise known as the place management supply coffee so lacking in taste the Red Cross send you care packages. Whilst believing you are making yourself a coffee that doesn’t have the aftertaste of roadkill, observe the following risks to your safety.

Watch out for Know-It-All-Nora who will damage your hearing with her incessant opinions on why her child has not got a special certificate at assembly when it is obvious to anyone that said child is gifted.

Then there is Back-SlappingBob. He believes his stories about showing foreign tourists how to drive over the Crown Range without chains, require outbursts of slapping and punching of his listeners.

But the one that poses the most risk to your mental health in the office is Doomsday Dan. A former procurement officer with the now defunct Government Supply Board, Dan is adept at deflating Friday drinks quicker than a ride-on mower hitting a soccer ball. Dan revels in delivering news such as IRD are investigating the company, or the Chinese can do what you guys do, but at a fraction of the cost. My suggestion is, make a roadkill coffee and move on.

Finally, at all costs, avoid the avalanche of advice and assertions streaming from anyone on a higher pay rate than you. As history has proven, the larger the company, the higher up you go, the less likely responsibility for health and safety is shouldered.

■ UNITED STATES

Trump ‘dangerous’ Previewing a rancorous campaign, Hillary Clinton assailed Donald Trump yesterday as a potential president who would lead America toward war and economic crisis.

She portrayed her own foreign policy as optimistic, inclusive and diplomatic, born from long experience in public life.

There was nothing diplomatic in her remarks, a clear indication of how she’ll take Trump on. Electing him, she said, would be “a historic mistake”.

During a speech in San Diego that was billed as a foreign policy address, the Democratic former secretary of state unloaded on her likely Republican election opponent, counting down reasons he is not qualified - from his aggressive Twitter attacks to his emotional outbursts.

“He is not just unprepared; he is temperamentally unfit,” she told supporters in a ballroom. “We cannot let him roll the dice with America.”

She said a Trump presidency could spark nuclear conflicts overseas and ignite economic catastrophe at home.

“There’s no risk of people losing their lives if you blow up a golf course deal, but it doesn’t work like that in world affairs,” Clinton said of the celebrity businessman. “The stakes in global statecraft are infinitely higher and more complex than in the world of luxury hotels.”

She mocked Trump’s Twitter blasts and predicted he was preparing more as she spoke. As if on cue, he tweeted after she finished: “Bad per-

Lego sculpture trashed A sculpture comprising thousands of Lego bricks put on display at a popular shopping mall has been destroyed by a curious child who pushed it to the ground. The artwork took three days and three nights to build, according to its creator, and it was shattered after being on display for less than one hour. Zhao spent some $NZ21,200 building the Legobrick version of Nick Wilde, the animated fox from this year’s Disney hit Zootopia.

The sculpture was chosen to be displayed at Wanda Plaza. Soon after the sculpture was put on display, it attracted dozens of children. But children ignored the safety barrier put up around the sculpture and one five-year-old placed his hand on the sculpture while posing for a photo and accidentally pushed it over.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton attacks Donald Trump, claiming electing him would be “a historic mistake”.

PHOTO AP formance by Crooked Hillary Clinton! Reading poorly from the teleprompter! She doesn’t even look presidential!”

Trump, meanwhile, got an endorsement he’d been seeking, from Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan, who had resisted even after the businessman clinched the GOP nomination.

Clinton’s robust assault on Trump was widely carried on television, a change for the leading Democratic candidate who’s frequently struggled to break through coverage of

Trump. She is ramping up her criticism of the presumptive Republican nominee and trying to quell concerns within her own party that she isn’t ready to rumble with the famously combative Trump.

She offered a number of aggressive new attack lines, at times baiting Trump to respond by calling him “thin skinned”.

She hit Trump for his reality television past, for his snarky Twitter feed, for his hotel experience.

She ran down a list of people

he has insulted, including the pope.

And she assailed Trump over many statements, criticising him for seeking to ban Muslims from entering the country, for talking about leaving NATO and for suggesting Japan could one day acquire nuclear weapons.

“He has the gall to say prisoners of war like John McCain aren’t heroes,” Clinton said.

“He says he has foreign policy experience because he ran the Miss Universe pageant.”

Boy who went missing in forest found The 7-year-old Japanese boy who went missing nearly a week ago after his parents left him in a forest as punishment was found unharmed yesterday, police said, in a case that had set off a nationwide debate about parental disciplining.

The boy, missing since Saturday, was found yesterday morning by a soldier in a military drill area on the northernmost main island of Hokkaido.

The boy identified himself as Yamato Tanooka, the name of the boy who went missing, police said.

Kyodo News service reported that the boy told police he had been in the drill area for several days after walking alone in the forest. NHK TV said his parents identified their son, who was taken to a hospital by helicopter for checkups.

More than 180 rescuers, including troops, have been searching the area.

The boy’s plight riveted the nation, highlighted in daily news, and setting off some soul-searching about appropriate punishment.

Although Japan has a reputation for spoiling children, pampering them and not being strict about manners, the culture also is not as progressive in promoting the individual human rights of children, common in the West, traditionally viewing children almost as property of the family.

Abandonment and child abuse are far more common in Japan than the stereotype of the doting parent and stay-athome mom would suggest.

The parents reportedly told police they had punished the boy for throwing rocks at people and cars while playing at a river earlier in the day.

Son, 6, shops dad A six-year-old’s efforts to report his dad’s bad driving have left a police department in hysterics. American boy Robbie Richardson noticed his dad run a red light. Dismayed by the misdemeanour, he announced he was going to call the police. “I just kind of blew it off a little bit, you know, he’s 6 years old,” his father Mike Richardson said. But when they got home, Robbie dialled 911. Police officer Mike Bowes took the call: “My daddy went past a red light ... he was in my mommy’s car ...” At this point Bowes asked to speak to Robbie’s father who sheepishly confirmed his son’s claim. He apologised for the inconvenience. Later Bowes said: “It’s better than hearing the routine calls we get in the station.”

According to a one-page report released by the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office, Prince administered the drug himself on an

unknown date. The office said the death investigation is complete, and it had no further comment.

Fentanyl is a synthetic drug

that has legitimate medical uses.

It is also partly responsible for a recent surge in overdose deaths in some parts of the country.

Because of its risks, it is tightly controlled by the Food and Drug Administration, but much of it is manufactured illegally.

Pain patients who have built up a tolerance to other prescription painkillers, or who have become addicted, sometimes seek out stronger drugs such as heroin or fentanyl.

More than 700 fentanyl-related overdoses were reported to the Drug Enforcement Administration in late 2013 and 2014.

Prince, 57, died less than a week after his plane made an emergency stop in Moline, Illinois, for medical treatment as he was returning from an Atlanta concert.

It was believed that he was found unconscious on the plane, and first responders gave him a shot of Narcan, an antidote used in suspected opioid overdoses.

Thousands evacuated in floods flood damage. “Since yesterday it’s just been a deluge,” said Jerome Coiffier, an inhabitant of Longjumeau, less than 20km south of Paris, where firemen wading thigh-deep in water rescued inhabitants using inflatable boats.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls visited Nemours, 75km south of Paris, where at least 3000 out of 13,000 inhabitants were evacuated, as flood water crept towards the second storey of buildings in the town centre.

He called the situation “tense”.

In the French capital, the Seine rose above five metres, forcing the SNCF rail operator to close an underground commuter line that runs along the

river and is used by tourists to reach the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Meanwhile, Louvre museum chief Jean-Luc Martinez told employees in an internal email that it was highly likely that the museum would have to shut and would then seek help from volunteers.

The Musee d’Orsay said it would close earlier than planned.

‘Kill list’ had wife, two professors A former UCLA graduate student killed a woman in Minnesota before carrying two semiautomatic pistols and a grudge back to Los Angeles, where he fatally shot a young professor he once called a mentor and then killed himself, police said yesterday.

Authorities did not publicly identify the unharmed professor or the woman. A law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press that the

The people said Ali is fighting respiratory issues that are complicated by the Parkinson’s that he was diagnosed with in the 1980s. The two spoke separately in describing Ali’s condition that they say is concerning to family members. Spokesman Bob Gunnell said that the 74-year-old was in fair condition, and that a brief hospital stay was expected. - AP

In brief

Prince died from overdose Prince died of an overdose of fentanyl, a powerful opioid painkiller that is up to 50 times more potent than heroin, autopsy results released yesterday show.

The findings confirm suspicions that opioids played a role in the death of the superstar musician, who was found dead April 21 at his Minneapolis-area estate.

It was not immediately clear whether Prince had a prescription for the drug and, if not, how he obtained it. At least one friend has said he suffered from intense knee and hip pain from many years of stage performances.

The results raised the possibility that anyone who provided the drug illegally could face criminal charges.

Although the death was formally ruled an accident, that merely signified that it was not intentional and in no way precludes prosecution.

After Prince died, authorities began reviewing whether an overdose was to blame and whether he had been prescribed

Authorities pieced together the case as most classes resumed a day after thousands of students and staff members were locked down on the sprawling grounds of UCLA. The investigation unfolded

rapidly based on a note Sarkar left in the office where he killed professor William Klug. It mentioned the second professor, who also belonged to UCLA’s engineering faculty, and asked anyone who read it to check on Sarkar’s cat in St. Paul, Minnesota.

At Sarkar’s apartment, authorities found his list of three planned targets. Authorities checked the residence of the woman in the nearby town of Brooklyn Park and found her body.

The law enforcement official said Hasti was the name of the woman on Sarkar’s list. Beck said the woman named on the list was the victim; and a neighbour told AP that Hasti lived in the home with her father. - AP

Rare stolen stamp returned A rare American stamp stolen more than 60 years ago has been returned to its rightful owner.

The 1918 24-cent Inverted Jenny features a biplane misprinted upside down.

It is one of a block of four taken in 1955 from a display case at a stamp collecting convention in New York.

In April, it resurfaced at an auction house after being submitted by an Irish man who had inherited it from his grandfather.

The Inverted Jenny – said to be worth at least $175,000 – is now safely back with the American Philatelic Research Library, which has now recovered three of the four stamps taken in the original theft.

Keelin O’Neill, who received $50,000 in reward money, inherited the stamp after his grandfather bought it, possibly at a car boot sale in Ireland, the library said.

Mr O’Neill said he had had “no idea” about the stamp’s history and importance.

“It was scary more than anything. When I found out, I was contacted by the FBI, so I didn’t know what was the story, what is the stamp, or why I was being contacted. So it was nervewracking, but it certainly got easier from there,” he said.

The Phoenix mother had been transported to the hospital covered in blood with stab wounds to her neck and abdomen when police officers searching her house opened a closet to a grim discovery. Inside officers found the partially dismembered bodies of her three young sons. Police discovered the dead boys — ages 2 months old and 5 and 8 years old — in a closet full of miscellaneous items. Phoenix police Sgt. Trent Crump said the youngest boy’s body was in a suitcase. Crump said the children appeared to have been stabbed to death and “parts of their bodies were dismembered.”

The discoveries have come as authorities have been transferring 137 live tigers, mostly adults, from the temple to animal shelters after obtaining a court order.

“EVs are still quite expensive, but the amount someone would normally spend on installing solar roughly covers the additional cost of an EV over a new petrol or

diesel car,” said Hancock. “From a national perspective, we’d reduce emissions more if people bought EVs rather than installing solar.”

Rooftop solar PV typically cost around $10,000 to install, while the cost of a plug-in hybrid EV, such as the Mitsubishi Outlander,

No more subsidies for Youi

BY PAUL MCBETH Youi NZ, the insurer under scrutiny over its sales techniques, is no longer getting Work and Income New Zealand subsidies aimed at getting people into work who are most at risk of getting stuck on a benefit.

The local unit of the South African insurer received government grants of $21,000 and $48,000 in the 2015 and 2014 June years, which it recognised as flex-wage subsidies from Work and Income.

Those subsidies provide shortterm support to help cover the cost of training and supervising a new employee moving from a benefit and into work.

For Youi, that covered 0.6 per cent of its $7.7 million wage expense when it first started operating locally in 2014, and was barely 0.1 per cent of its $21.5 million salary bill in 2015, and the Ministry of Social Development says Youi “is not currently in receipt of the flexi-wage employment subsidy”.

The insurer has come under scrutiny over its sales techniques, triggering an investigation by the Commerce Commission. The regulator has completed that investigation but has yet to announce its next steps.

Employers sign a formal agreement outlining the terms and conditions of accepting a flexiwage subsidy for an employee, and MSD can withhold payment if the government department believes those aren’t being met.

meaning it won’t commingle if the agreement could let an operator target their customers, which gained approval from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, the application said.

Without introducing rebate restraints, NZRB won’t be able to commingle bets with Tabcorp.

“The proposed commingling arrangement, together with developments in technology, may create circumstances where wagering customers (principally high net worth ‘premium/VIP’ customers) may seek to access pools on New Zealand racing via Tabcorp and vice versa,” it said.

“Importantly, these opportunities only arise as a result of the commingling arrangement - it is the permission to commingle which creates the possibility of customer movement.”

NZRB said the restrictions would limit the loss of revenues to the New Zealand and Australian racing industries.

The New Zealand Racing Board (NZRB) has applied to the Commerce Commission for approval of provisions on shared betting with Australia’s Tabcorp which attempt to stop local gamblers using the Australian platform in preference to the TAB. NZRB, which operates the TAB, is concerned about commingled betting pools in a certain form of betting, called pari-mutuel betting, which is where the total value of all bets is consolidated in a pool from which the operator takes their share with the remainder paid to winners. When pools are commingled, the operator with the original pool is the ‘host’, while the organisation which commingles its pools is the “guest”.

NZRB wants a provision in the new arrangement between itself and Tabcorp, one of three major betting operators in Australia, to restrict the rebates Tabcorp can

provide to prevent it using those to encourage high-spending customers to bet via Tabcorp rather than using NZRB. It also wants a provision that the guest operator must process bets in accordance with the host operator’s rules, with specific reference to the share an operator can take.

The Commerce Commission can approve agreements which would otherwise breach the Commerce Act if it thinks the public benefit outweighs the detriments from loss of competition.

It has asked for public submissions on NZRB’s application.

In its application, NZRB said there has been commingled betting with Tabcorp in 2007. That agreement lapsed in June 2015, though some commingling continued on a transitional basis as the two operators negotiated a new agreement.

Tabcorp has introduced new conditions for overseas operators to stop revenue leaking,

result in significantly better or worse outcomes (for national carbon emissions) than would be achieved otherwise,” the report says, which draws on a range of recent studies, including the Concept Consulting report that first drew attention to the greater climate change impact of EVs for New Zealand than solar PV earlier this year, provoking outrage in the fledgling solar PV sector.

“To achieve emission savings, solar PV would not only need to increase the penetration of renewable generation, but it would need to do so more than the renewable generation projects that it would likely displace,” the report says. “While solar PV is not an ineffective option for reducing emissions, other technologies such as wind would be more effective.”

The extra expense of an electric vehicle roughly equates to the cost of installing roof-top solar electricity generation, making it a better investment for environmental outcomes, says John Hancock, the head of the Smart Grid Forum.

The forum, a future-casting electricity industry group established by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, has released a new report on how internet-enabled electricity management might shape the sector’s future.

“While installing solar panels on your house may mean cheaper power bills, which may be great for the individual consumer, it isn’t really doing anything to reduce New Zealand’s carbon emissions,” said Hancock. “On the

The conclusion is likely to dismay solar PV enthusiasts who tout the technology not only as a money-saving but a planet-saving move to reduce carbon emissions – a claim more meaningful in a country such as Australia where the vast majority of electricity is produced from fossil fuels, such as natural gas and coal.

With 80 per cent-plus renewable electricity already from hydro, wind and geothermal resources, “solar PV uptake is unlikely to

4/6 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Your praises will be sung today, but not as loudly as you’d like. Is this mic even on? Well, hopefully it’s enough to know that a couple of admiring souls care enough to tell you so.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): The answer to “Why?” will be “Why not?” That’s better than the usual answers, which include “Why ask why?” and of course the classic “Because I said so.”

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’ll struggle with a certain line of reasoning and/or a conversational trajectory. This is indicative of a deeper turmoil. Are you brave enough to explore this now?

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Being there for people isn’t hard for you unless the people you’re there for are hard to pin down. Those who play hard-to-get might get lost in the chaos of the weekend.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Why aim low? You’ve the same odds of hitting your mark that you would have if you aimed high. Shoot for the top most-exciting goal. Your first priority will match up beautifully with another person’s wishes.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): There’s an interesting dynamic forming between you and someone you think of as competition. There’s enough to go around. Maybe you can use one another to sharpen your skills. Seek a win-win.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): It will be so worthwhile to follow the directions. Find them. Don’t worry; your originality will remain intact. The only thing you’ll sacrifice is the time it takes to read and comprehend.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): There are doubting voices in your head, but you don’t have to listen to them.

Humanity and fear go hand-in-hand. The fear will trigger an extra flow of fuel to your nervous system.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You may find yourself wondering if your friends have been supportive or your loved one has been true. Go on and actively be the supportive, loyal person you’re driven to be and your fears will subside.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The relationship energy will flow freely through the structures of your life. When you let someone go, you will also be letting someone in. The cycle will be seamless.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You see selfishness as a kind of sickness. You pity those afflicted -- and all are afflicted at one time or another. The worst part is that it’s hard to know when the afflicted one is you.

That’s why you’ll be so generous this weekend.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The tension that exists in your personal life won’t be such a big deal once you perfect the fine art of ignoring the problem. It’s not as easy as it sounds, but it’s entirely doable.
