Teachers to take strike action BY KATIE TODD
KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Brabham roars again MOTORING
P3
Frustrated local primary teachers say strike action could be their best bet against factors inhibiting the continued high quality of education in the district. A three-hour work stoppage will be held across New Zealand on August 15 and teachers and principals are now discussing whether to extend it to a full day to send an even stronger message. From paid union meetings in Mid Canterbury and across the country over the past two weeks, primary principal and teacher members of the New Zealand Educational Institute voted to reject the disappointing Ministry of Education’s pay offers.
Principals and teachers had asked for more time to teach and lead and more support for children with additional learning needs, as well as a 16 per cent pay rise over two years. It was hoped the pay rise could stem teacher shortages – which local schools last year said they were bearing the brunt of. The offer sees trained teachers’ base salaries increase between 6.1 to 14.7 per cent and principals’ salaries increase between 6-11 per cent over three years. But the majority of teachers (about 86 per cent) are being offered a pay rise ranging from about 2.2 to 2.6 per cent a year for three years. While teachers will receive 12 minutes extra a week to work individually with children or plan and assess learning, the request to fund a Special Education Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) in every school to assist children with ad-
ditional learning needs has not yet been acknowledged, NZEI said. “Most local teachers have serious concerns regarding the current state of our profession and that there is a sense of willingness to demand a positive outcome,” Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association Vice President Rebekah Clement said. “Remuneration, workload, stress and the recruitment of suitably qualified staff are all factors concerning us.” NZEI will be meeting with the Ministry in further negotiations over the coming weeks to try and reach a settlement. If the strike goes ahead, it would be the first time teachers have taken industrial action since 1994.

■ BILLION TREES PROGRAMME
Pest species pulled after blunder By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Forest and Bird Ashburton chairwoman Edith Smith is disappointed the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) included pest species in its Billion Trees programme. In a blunder which sent MPI scurrying to its website to weed out the pest species, there were at least two included which are a problem in Mid Canterbury, Smith said Douglas Fir readily became wilding species, particularly in the Ashburton Lakes area, and should only be in intensively managed plantations. And sycamore maple were “diabolical” in their ability to spread, and had established in areas such as the lower bike track at Mt Hutt and at Taylors Stream. Smith’s comments followed Forest and Bird New Zealand slating the Billion Trees programme list in a press release on Wednes-
day. Chief conservation advisor Kevin Hackwell said the list had the potential to undo countless volunteer hours and millions of dollars of rates and taxes spent on weed eradication. “Our members and partners are horrified at some of the species MPI is promoting. Japanese spindle tree is banned by MPI itself – it’s illegal to plant this tree under the National Pest Plant Accord,” Hackwell said. “There are also at least seven other trees on the list recognised by Weedbusters as serious weeds in New Zealand.” They also included silver wattle, Taiwan cherry, cherry laurel, strawberry tree and hawthorn. “How can an agency with oversight of biosecurity and major weed eradication not notice its Billion Trees list includes pest weeds?” Hackwell said, and called for immediate retraction of the list.
MPI was not impressed with being the subject of public ridicule. Acting Head of Te Uru Rakau Oliver Hendrickson said he and fellow MPI staff appreciated Forest and Bird pointing out the error. “Although a phone call might have been quicker for everyone than a press release. We have now re-reviewed our list and removed about a dozen species,” Hendrickson said. “Our website has a list of over 400 tree species that potentially fit the definition of a tree. We put this online so that it would be easy for people to find out what species constitute a tree,” he said. Government launched plans for the Billion Trees programme in May. It plans to plant one billion trees over the next 10 years, and wants the support of landowners, foresters, conservation groups, local bodies, iwi and communities.

MP blames free tertiary study for primary’s woes
Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon blames the Government’s “failed investment” for the proposed primary school strike action. PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN
“IT’S THE BEST DECISION WE’VE EVER MADE!” After living in Oamaru for 50 years, we decided after one visit to move to Lochlea so we could be closer to our children and family. We found the transition from our quarter acre home to our new Lochlea Lifestyle Villa very easy, we were thrilled with the privacy and the Villa had been built to capture the sun so well. We
Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon has spoken out against the Government’s “failed investment” in a free year of tertiary education, claiming it is largely to blame for proposed primary school strike action. “The Ardern-Peters Government have thrown $2.8 billion at universities and the tertiary education sector, with no apparent increase in student numbers. That’s cost our local primary and secondary schools,” he said. “The Ardern-Peters Government have got their priorities all wrong. They’ve chosen to throw billions of dollars at a failed plan to raise university student numbers, gifted $900 million to Winston Peters for foreign affairs and a new Embassy in Sweden, and let Shane Jones loose with three billion dollars to spend up north.” He said Education Minister Chris Hipkins needs to step in, accept some blame, and show leadership to avoid the strike. However, his critique of the free ter-
tiary study option was refuted by Jo Luxton, Labour List MP based in Rangitata. She said it looks to unburden future generations of New Zealanders from crippling debt. “Many people in Mr Falloon’s own party didn’t pay for their tertiary study and now they would rather pull the ladder up behind them, robbing young New Zealanders of that same opportunity.” She said the government is committed to ensuring a decent day’s work equals a decent day’s pay. “That is why we have brought pay equity to midwives and mental health workers, raised the minimum wage and launched initiatives such as the Best Start Payment for all new parents in New Zealand, designed to relieve the pressures on struggling Kiwi families. Her party were obviously disappointed about the strike, she said, but encourage both sides to continue bargaining. “The Ministry’s negotiations with NZEI will continue over the coming weeks.”

Avalanche exercise ‘invaluable’ By Katie todd
Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz
Local emergency services and ski personnel say they have gained “invaluable” life-saving skills from an exercise simulating a largescale avalanche. Fifty people from Canterbury Police, skifields including Mt Hutt and SAR groups including Methven LandSAR took part in a largescale avalanche response exercise near Mt Cheeseman Ski area last Saturday. Co-ordinated by Avalanche NZ and dubbed operation CARE, the exercise simulated seven people caught in an avalanche. Canterbury Police SAR Co-ordinator Acting Sergeant Paul Beaver said it was as close to a real-life scenario as they could get. “When emergency services are called upon to respond to an avalanche, effective planning and Principal Sam Winterbourn marks his last day in office at Ashburton Borough School today.

■ RURALCO
In brief
Strong interest shown in firm’s instore-days Ruralco’s instore-days kicked off yesterday, with a good crowd of people popping into the company’s Ashburton base. Chief executive Robert Sharkie (right) was unsure of the exact number of visitors but he was very pleased with the interest shown by the farming community in the two-day event, which has been running for 24 years. “There’s been a very positive vibe. Our shareholders and suppliers are very happy.” Good commodity prices across the board meant the rural community was in a good space right now, he said, despite concerns about mycoplasma bovis. “I can’t remember any other time during my career when everything was on a bit of a high.” The annual event is on again today from 8am to 4.30pm.
Three injured in crash Three patients were taken to Ashburton Hospital with moderate injuries following a car crash south of Tinwald on Wednesday night. Emergency services were called to the Longbeach Road and Hinds Highway intersection shortly before 7pm, where St John Ambulance staff reported finding three cars involved in an incident. A police spokesperson said one person was initially reported trapped in their car and injured, requiring removal. Fire and Emergency staff also attended.

■ JUNE WEATHER
Gloom finally gave way to sunshine By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
June was a month of two halves in Ashburton, NIWA weather data shows. Mid Cantabrians suffered through overcast and foggy conditions for the first half, but for the second, the sun finally came out. NIWA meteorologist Ben Noll said limited sunshine in the first half was due to moist, onshore winds. There was a particularly gloomy stretch of 10 days, from June 9 to 17, when there was a total of just 4.9 hours of full sunshine in the town. “But this gave way to more sunshine, particularly after the 20th, as cooler, southerly air flows pushed drier air toward New Zealand,” Noll said.
All in all the month’s sunshine reading was considered near normal, with the 106 sunshine hours recorded being 91 per cent of the average reading for the month of 116 hours. Ashburton’s mean temperature for the month was near normal, at 6.2 degrees, close to the normal of 6.4. Total rainfall for June was below normal at 42.8 millimetres, less than the normal of 56.9 millimetres. Mid Canterbury is nevertheless well saturated following wet conditions prior to June. MetService data shows Ashburton had received well over its average total rainfall for the year so far, having received 599.8 millimetres to 4pm July 3, compared to the average of 350 millimetres for the same period.
Methven loses water A burst water main caused major disruption in Methven yesterday with businesses closing for the day due to a lack of water. The Ashburton District Council was advised around lunch time yesterday of the issue and sent contractors to Methven to remedy the situation. After isolating the root of the problem, contractors continued to work to get the system back to fully functional but didn’t expect water services to return to normal capacity until last evening. While the burst pipe would have most certainly impacted on water pressure, the major head-scratcher for contractors was the supply to the township should have continued to be fed from another point, but businesses around Methven reported having no water at all around 3pm yesterday with some forced to close their doors for the day due to the issues. Majorly impacted businesses included local cafes and restaurants, hairdressing salons and the local laundromat.
A Christchurch man was left in a critical condition after he was hit by a vehicle while taking his dogs for a walk near his home in Dallington. Christchurch police are appealing to the public for information relating to the 30-yearold man who was located on Gayhurst Rd at 2.30am yesterday after what appeared to be a hit-and-run. The man had left his Dallington home at about midnight to take his two dogs for a walk and was located on the north side of the Gayhurst Rd bridge in a critical condition. His two dogs were found nearby unharmed. - NZME
Assault charge A 17-year-old St Kevin’s College pupil who allegedly cut a fellow pupil with a knife on school grounds on Wednesday faces an assault charge. Police were called to the Oamaru school about 10.25am after the pupil was involved in an altercation with another 16-year-old pupil. The pupil was arrested and charged with assault. He will appear in the Oamaru District Court on July 18. - NZME
Misconduct at MPI The Ministry for Primary Industries has referred evidence of potential serious staff misconduct to the Serious Fraud Office. MPI had also referred the matter to the State Services Commission as part of the commission’s inquiry into the use of external security consultants, including private investigation firm Thompson & Clark. The conduct did not involve the contracting of Thompson & Clark by MPI but to other matters, said MPI directorgeneral Martyn Dunne. - NZME

■ ASHBURTON INTERMEDIATE
Students ditch the classroom and get their groove on By Katie todd
Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz
For the past four weeks, Year 7 students at Ashburton Intermediate have been swapping their studies for shimmying, and classwork for shapecutting. An initiative called ditch the desks and dance has quickly earned popularity among students and teachers, and came to an epic conclusion on Wednesday afternoon. With the help of Anna Raukawa and Madi Wilson from Life Dance Academy, classes learnt and perfected dance routines, then worked to put their own personal spin on them. Wednesday afternoon saw all classes going head-to-head in a dance-off, complete with funky costumes and signage, held at the school hall and attended by an enthusiastic crowd. Room 7/4 or “the black hats”, led by teacher Kristina Shepherd, eventually took out first place. She thought it was likely thanks to a move where one student was picked up and flown like an aeroplane to the lyrics “feeling so fly”. “The classes were all fantastic though,” she said. Shepherd said the school were hugely grateful to Anna and Madi for giving up their time and helping. “Bring on next year!”

Bazley inquiry ‘window dressing’ The Bazley inquiry into allegations of sexual harassment at law firm Russell McVeagh has failed to get to the heart of the issues, says a woman who quit the law after being subjected to years of bad behaviour. “It’s a PR exercise; it’s window dressing,” said Olivia Wensley, 32, who suffered sexual innuendo and inappropriate behaviour from male colleagues. Wensley spoke publicly in March about her experiences. Dame Margaret Bazley was appointed to look into allegations including that five summer law clerks were sexually harassed over
the summer of 2015/16. She found instances of crude, drunken and sexually inappropriate behaviour during those months – but she could not find recent sexual harassment or sexual assaults. “What’s interesting is what she’s not saying,” Wensley told the Herald yesterday. “She’s glazing over the fact that the partners at Russell McVeagh have not fulfilled their statutory obligations under the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act to report misconduct.” She said the Law Society, which had the statutory responsibility
to monitor lawyers’ professional standards, ought to have dealt with the allegations. Because it hadn’t, Justice Minister Andrew Little should introduce legislation creating a state agency to regulate lawyers, Wensley said. Prominent Auckland lawyer Catriona MacLennan said Dame Margaret’s report was a “cop-out” that misdiagnosed the problem and the incorrect diagnosis will prevent much needed changes. “The problem is not a workhard, play-hard culture; the problem is the deeply ingrained sexism in our profession.”
She said there was a wider issue and pointed to data from YUDU that showed the average pay for male lawyers is $128,000 while female lawyers’ average pay is $66,000. “You need to look at all those things together.” MacLennan said she believed non-disclosure agreements were problematic and should not be used. Non-disclosure agreements protect victim privacy but perpetrators’ identities are also protected. MacLennan compared the result to her clients and “what would normally happen with
people who perpetrate sexual assault”. The results would have been different in other circumstances but the legal profession has allowed a loophole in the system, she said. “They’re continuing on with their careers, continuing to be paid really high amounts of money and have their reputations intact. “Our legal system and our society need to treat people equally and that’s not happening here.” The University of Auckland and the University of Otago said they would not publicly comment on the Bazley report. - NZME

Thumb’s up for morning tea BY KATIE TODD
KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
With just one table, a few snacks and a spark of generosity, a successful initiative is making waves in the Ashburton College community and beyond. In a bid to support other students in their school, the college’s student executive have launched a daily Shared Morning Tea programme. The idea is simply to provide a welcoming space and free food to any student who wishes to come along, head girl Connie Davidson said. A mufti day was held in Term 1 to raise awareness of the initiative and gather funds for food – purchased mostly from the Netherby Four Square. Since then, Davidson said the initiative has grown within the school and also within the wider community. The executive are extremely appreciative of the people who have put their hand up to help, she said. “One of our kind contributors is Lynn; she gives up her time to provide home baking to the programme every Monday which always goes down a treat with the students … another contributor is Nosh Cafe who have generously offered to deliver a tray of freshly baked muffins every Wednesday for the students to enjoy.” The student executive is ever so grateful for this support, she said, as they are able to provide a delicious variety of foods.

Secret passage to cave? A treacherous flooded passage filled with hazardous bends and next to no visibility is the biggest challenge facing the trapped schoolboys as authorities race to drain water from a flooded cave in Thailand. The world watches with bated breath while the 12 starved boys and their football coach, who have been stranded for almost two weeks now, are reportedly being trained in how to breathe with scuba equipment as they prepare for a possible attempt at leaving the cave yesterday. However, several diving experts have warned that the mission is extremely dangerous – seeing as none of the boys can swim or ever used scuba gear and the cave’s narrow passageways pose a significant challenge for even the best cave divers. In particular, a narrow 750-metre flooded stretch of the Tham Luang Nang Non cave, which took experienced cave divers around three hours to navigate, poses an ominous obstacle for the inexperienced boys aged between 11 and 16 in the desperate rescue option. British Cave Rescue Council chairman Gary Mitchell told the BBC that freezing, muddy water is touching the roof of the cave inside the pitch black passage which is extremely narrow – so much so that it is only big enough to fit one person through at a time. The boys may have to be kitted up with scuba gear and dragged through the dangerous passage while being closely tethered to divers, but then they run the risk of having their life-protecting gear being knocked off as they navigate its tight crooks and crannies. As part of a desperate attempt to save the boys, Thai authorities are also trying to suss out whether there could be a secret passage to safety. Yesterday, Claus Rasmussen,
Dark character for Adams Sharp Objects is a highly buzzed-about, eight-part SoHo miniseries starring fivetime Oscar nominee Amy Adams. Like Big Little Lies, Sharp Objects is based on an acclaimed novel by a female writer, in this case, the first book by Gillian Flynn. Adams plays Camille Preaker, an alcoholic newspaper journalist, who returns to her Missouri hometown to report on some missing children, where she is forced to confront some very uncomfortable truths about her own childhood. “It can really overcome a lot of challenges if you can work through discomfort, and I would say that there’s a lot of discomfort here, emotional as well as sexual discomfort.”
A Thai boy smiles as a Thai Navy Seal medic helps injured children inside a cave in Mae Sai, northern Thailand. who is part of the rescue team, said the boys have told divers they heard dogs barking, a rooster crowing and children playing – raising suspicions that there may be a hidden passage to safety from deep within the cave. According to CNN, the new information now has teams looking at whether there is a chimney or hole they can access instead of trying to get the boys out through the water. If there does in fact turn out to be a secret passage, it means the rescuers could potentially sidestep the incredibly dangerous crash course diving operation. Timing is crucial in the complex rescue mission as heavy storms are soon forecast to arrive, which could make it impossible to evacuate the group for months. A 24/7 draining operation is now in place, but Thai authorities are still understood to be
weighing up the best method of extracting the boys. The best option would be to rid the cave almost entirely of water, which would allow the stranded group to crawl 4km to safety, but they would still need to pass through short underwater passages. However, because of the looming monsoon rains forecast to hit the area later this week, Thai authorities still believe teaching the boys to dive so they can be escorted out of the system by rescue divers, is the most realistic option. A certified cave diver from the US, said the boys will have to undergo “immediate and intensive training” if they are to stand any chance of exiting the cave alive. “Normal cave diving requires skills that go beyond what 99 per cent of the world’s divers have ever seen, which is why it is so very hard to become certified to dive in
caves,” he wrote in an educational journal yesterday. “The diving required in this cave, however, is not normal cave diving, and the rescuers are not normal cave divers. “The greatest enemy to a diver is panic. “Students who are accustomed to the normal mishaps of swimming, like accidentally getting water in the mouth or eyes, will usually have no trouble, but for people with little swimming experience, such a minor event can lead to irrational panic. “Most of the Thai team members are non-swimmers, and the culture there has a common belief that swimming is extremely dangerous. That starts any training in a serious deficit.” A cave explorer assisting Thai authorities trying to rescue the schoolboys believes “we’ll know in the next 24 hours” if they will survive. - PA
The return of Chucky Chucky is coming back. Child’s Play is getting a reboot from the producers of It, THR reports. David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith, two of the names behind the mega successful return of Pennywise the Clown, are hoping to resurrect the classic 1980s horror with a similar impact. The original follows serial killer Charles Lee Ray, who after being fatally wounded by pursuing police, transfers his soul via a Voodoo spell. After being gifted to 6-year-old Andy Barclay on his birthday, the murderous doll terrorises the family, trying to transfer his soul before he gets permanently trapped in the doll.

‘Leftover toxins’ leave couple desperately ill A couple rushed to hospital by paramedics dressed in hazmat suits were poisoned by the same nerve agent used against former Russian spy Sergei Skripal, police confirmed. Dawn Sturgess, 44, and her partner Charlie Rowley, 45, are fighting for life after they were exposed to the deadly Novichok substance in Amesbury on Saturday. They were exposed just 300 metres from where Skripal and his daughter Yulia ate on the day they were poisoned four
months ago, and it was feared this could be leftover toxin from then. Confirmation of the poisoning came hours after dramatic video emerged of one of the victims being loaded into an ambulance by a paramedic wearing hazmat gear. Rowley was lying on his back in a stretcher as the paramedic in a white protective suit pushed it inside as two police officers watched on. Sturgess lives in a homeless shelter close to the
Zizzi’s restaurant in Salisbury where Skirpal and his daughter were targeted four months ago. Assistant Commissioner of Specialist Operations Neil Basu said blood samples were tested at the UK’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory at Porton Down and confirmed to be Novichok. “Following the detailed analysis of these samples, we can confirm that the man and woman have been exposed to the nerve agent Novichok,
which has been identified as the same nerve agent that contaminated both Yulia and Sergei Skripal,” he said. ‘The latest update we have from the hospital is that both patients remain in a critical condition. Both are British nationals and are local to the area. Officers are still working to identify their next of kin. “The priority for the investigation team now, is to establish how these two people have come into contact with this nerve agent.” - PA
Johansson deflects criticism Scarlett Johansson is no stranger to accusations of cultural appropriation, having played a “whitewashed” Asian character in Ghost in the Shell. Now she’s under fire again – this time for gender appropriation – with her decision to be cast as a transgender man in the mob movie, Rub & Tug. When faced with criticism which went viral on social media, Johansson, 33, responded via a representative to online magazine Bustle with the statement: “Tell them that they can be directed to Jeffrey Tambor, Jared Leto, and Felicity Huffman’s reps for comment” – referring to the fact that those actors are cisgender and have played transgender characters, and received critical acclaim for their portrayals.

July IS A GOOD TO TIME TO ... Those down the bottom of the South Island should prune in August. Roses start shooting in August, so to get them ready add some lime to the soil to sweeten it (any rain will wash the fertiliser in). While you’re tending to your roses – add some organic manure too. Henri Ham

Spray your deciduous trees (the trees that lose their leaves every year) with lime sulphur. The lime sulphur acts by burning off the over wintering fungi and pests, including mites. It’s very important you do this for gooseberry bushes because they are prone to catching mites which can eat out the flower buds, meaning your bush ends up with no fruit. Luckily, the lime sulphur will get rid of those mites. Don’t apply it to your apricot trees because they can be sensitive to lime, so it’s best just to avoid it. Now’s also a good time to head along to one of the NZ Rose Society’s free rose pruning demonstrations. Visit their website for details on where and when they’re on. Roses should be pruned between late June and mid August, depending on where you live. If you live in the north you’ll prune your roses first.
You could also add some compost and lime to the soil of your vege garden. If the soil is quite wet, wait until it has dried out a bit. If you haven’t planted your shallots and garlic yet you’ve still got time – but get them in quick! The earlier you get your garlic in, the more likely it is to survive an attack of rust – which was quite a problem for garlic growers last year.

crop like lucerne or mustard. These plants will help provide a natural fertiliser for your soil by adding nitrogen. When spring comes simply dig in the plants to your soil. Don’t grow mustard if you’ve had a problem with club root in the soil, as it’s part of the same family that is affected by club root. If you think your vege garden could do with some improving. July is a great time to take it to the ‘next level’. A raised vege garden makes it easier for your plants to grow (because you can fill it with good quality potting mix, compost and/or mulch) and it makes it easier for you to garden (there’s less need to dig over like you would with a regular garden bed, and it’s higher off the ground so less bending and back-breaking required). You can use something like old railway sleepers to build your garden higher or try building some planter boxes. Once you’ve finished your raised
vegetable and herb garden, fill it with quality potting mix, compost and/or mulch – basically any good garden feed you’ve got. Then replant it with seedlings like spinach and broccoli. If you have compost you should be turning it over around now. Keep your compost covered to protect it from the heavy winter rain by using a sheet of polythene or some old corrugated iron. Add some lime – to stop it smelling – and some blood and bone to give it fertiliser. Your herbaceous perennials will probably have gone dormant (no leaves) by now, so dig them up, split the plants apart and replant them – great for expanding your garden. Even if they are still flowering, it’s still fine to split them at this time. Rake the leaves off your lawn. Lastly, make sure you deadhead your annuals – like polyanthus and primulas – so they don’t get mushy in the middle.
Planning on planting potatoes? Get your soil ready by digging it over and adding some lime.

Lexus - no compromise W
hether taking the family on a road trip up the Kaikoura coastline, or for a romantic retreat for two to Queenstown with extended luggage space and extra room, the new 7-seat Lexus RX L opens up new dimensions in convenience and appeal for Lexus as the brand’s first seven-seat model. This addition to the RX range responds to the priorities of New Zealand families for built-in versatility that provides extra seating when needed – with a third row of two individual seats – combined with easily (and electronically) adaptable, practical load space. True to Lexus’ principles of superior craftsmanship and Omotenashi hospitality, the RX L has been designed for purpose, with an extended rear body that ensures there is no compromise in comfort or quality for everyone on board. Power operation allows the rearmost seats to be raised or stowed at the touch of a button, while fine leather upholstery is also provided as standard, together with a new triple-zone air conditioning system with independent controls for third-row occupants. The new RX L further strengthens its position as a vehicle that meets the prime requirements of modern families in the premium car market, not to mention those who will simply capitalise on the extra load capacity. Lexus has used ingenious design and packaging to ensure that the two thirdrow seats are comfortable to use and easy to access; although the RX L retains the coupe-like profile of the five-seat
RX, suitable headroom for the third-row occupants has been secured by making the angle of the tailgate window slightly steeper. The second-row bench seat has been set higher, so that there is good foot space for the third row passengers, too. Accessing the third row has been made
easy with a one-touch lever control on the outer second row seats which tips the seatback forward and slides the bench smoothly away. A step on the floor guides you in and the seat design has no exposed catches or mechanism that can snag clothing or trip you up as you enter or exit the vehicle.
The second-row bench, thanks to the RX L’s longer design, can be slide-adjusted through a 150 mm range – class-leading in the 7-seat SUV segment. The Lexus RX L has received 5 stars in Euro NCAP safety ratings and is now available through Lexus of Christchurch.

Mean green machine
K
awasaki recently unveiled its all-new flagship motocross bike, the KX450. The first change Green made was to the naming convention; it dropped the F in the name, seeing as the only full-size dirt bikes it produces are four-strokes. The main changes made to the newfrom-the-ground-up motocrosser include a redesigned electric start-equipped engine, a hydraulic clutch, a Showa 49mm coil-spring fork, a new aluminum perimeter frame, and updated bodywork. The new engine comes with electric start, which works great, firing the bike to life immediately. On the track, the 2019 engine retains the previous generation’s already-good power delivery type and improved upon it with noticeably more power in each part of the rpm range. The KX450 has a stronger low-end hit that makes it easy to clear obstacles immediately after exiting a corner. This also allows it to run a gear high in tighter corners and makes it easier to lug the engine on any part of the track. Midrange power is improved as well, with just enough to offer some excitement, but not too much to wear you out or feel uncontrollable. Top-end power is noticeably better and allows you to carry a gear longer than the previous engine. It also revs more freely.
The main changes made to the newfrom-the-ground-up motocrosser include a redesigned electric start-equipped engine, a hydraulic clutch, a Showa 49mm coil-spring fork, a new aluminum perimeter frame, and updated bodywork. The transmission shifts smoothly and each gear is well-spaced.
Second gear works well in the tighter corners, and we found we had to cover the shifter and be ready to grab a gear when exiting corners because of how quickly the bike reaches the higher rpm. With the new engine having lots more torque, third gear can be used in some fairly tight corners the previous engine

would have struggled with, and the new hydraulic clutch made it easy to modulate the power delivery in these scenarios as well. The new Showa 49mm coil-spring fork is a major improvement over the previous Showa Triple Air Chamber (TAC) fork that graced the model from 2015 to 2018. The TAC fork had a harsh feeling lower in the stroke that transferred feedback into your hands and arms, but that is all a thing of the past. The new Showa spring fork is much plusher and offers much more comfort in braking bumps as well as big jump landings. We found that one clicker change on the compression makes a large difference in the fork’s performance, leading us to believe after one day of testing that it has lots of adjustability, but we will confirm this with further testing. Another benefit to the spring fork is it doesn’t have three air pressures to check before riding, one less time-consuming task for when you arrive at the track. The all-new engine retains the previous generation’s already-good power delivery type and improved upon it with noticeably more power in each part of the rpm range. The KX450 maintains the good straightline stability of the previous model and it also corners better than before due to its easier corner initiation and lighter-weight feeling.

Hybrid’s ‘Ring record
T
his week Timo Bernhard (D) lapped the 20.832 kilometre Nürburgring Nordschleife race circuit in five minutes and 19.55 seconds. That’s an average speed of 233.8 km/h (145.3 mph) on what is revered by race drivers, engineers and enthusiasts alike as the world’s most difficult track. Driving the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo, Bernhard beat the previous lap record, set by Stefan Bellof, by 51.58 seconds. For 35 years and 31 days Bellof’s 6:11.13 minutes record remained uncontested. The German driver from Gießen, who tragically died at Spa-Francorchamps in 1985, is considered the biggest racing talent of his time. He drove his record on May 28 in 1983 at the wheel of a powerful 620 bhp Rothmans Porsche 956 C during practice for the 1000-kilometre WEC sports car race. Also his average speed was over 200 km/h. Proud and relieved Timo Bernhard, fivetime overall winner of the Nürburgring 24-hours, two-time outright winner of the Le Mans 24-hours and reigning World Endurance Champion with the Porsche 919 Hybrid, clambered out of the tight Le Mans prototype cockpit. “This is a great moment for me and for the entire team – the 919 programme’s icing on the cake. “The Evo was perfectly prepared and I have done my best on this lap. Thanks to the aerodynamic downforce, at sections I never imagined you can stay on full throttle. “I’m pretty familiar with the Nordschleife, but today I got to learn it in a new way”, said the 37-year old from the German region of Saarpfalz. He is a huge admirer of Stefan Bellof. In 2015, on the thirtieth anniversary of Bellof’s fatal accident, Timo raced at the Spa-Francorchamps 6-hour race of the FIA World Endurance Championship with a helmet carrying the famous black-red-gold design of the 1980s star. “For me Stefan Bellof is and remains a giant”, he emphasises. “Today my respect for his achievement with the technology available back then increased even more.” This week’s success is the second track record on the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo tally: On April 9 this year in Spa, the dramatic evolution of the three-times Le Mans winner lapped faster than a Formula One car with Neel Jani at the wheel.
The 34-year old Porsche works driver from Switzerland – Le Mans outright winner and Endurance World Champion of 2016 – set a lap of 1:41,770 minutes on the 7.004 kilometre (4.35 mile) Grand Prix circuit in the Belgian Ardennes mountains. He topped the previous track record, set by Lewis Hamilton in 2017 qualifying, by 0.783 seconds. The British Mercedes driver took pole position for the Belgian Grand Prix in 1:42.553 minutes. The Evo version of the Porsche 919 Hybrid is based on the car that took outright victory at the Le Mans 24-Hours and won the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Over the winter, it was freed from some restrictions hitherto determined by the regulations. Thus, its hybrid power train now develops a system output of 1160 hp. The Evo weighs only 849 kilograms and its modified (and now active) aerodynamics generate over 50 per cent more downforce compared to the WEC model.
Top speed at the Nürburgring was 369.4 km/h (229.5 mph). LMP Team Principal Andreas Seidl commented: “As a race team we constantly search for challenges that push a car, driver and team to operate on the limit. Conquering the Green Hell definitely provided such a challenge. Since last winter we were preparing for that task together with our tyre partner Michelin – painstakingly and with a great deal of respect for this track. Today we have shown the full potential of the 919 Evo. “Congratulations to Timo for his sensational drive. Being a record winner at the Nürburgring, Timo was the logical choice for the job. “I would also like to thank the Nürburgring team. Porsche cultivates a long and deep relationship with the ‘Ring. Record attempts wouldn’t be possible without the highly professional track support.” For the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo the entire hardware of the power train remained untouched.
The 919 is powered by a compact twolitre turbo charged V4-cylinder engine and two energy recovery systems – brake energy from the front axle combined with exhaust energy. The combustion engine drives the rear axle while the electro motor boosts the front axle to accelerate the car with fourwheel drive. At the same time it recuperates energy from the exhaust system that otherwise would pass unused in to the atmosphere. The electrical energy that comes from the front brakes and the exhaust system is temporarily stored in a liquid-cooled lithium ion battery. The WEC efficiency regulations limited the energy from fuel per lap by using a fuel flow meter. The V4 combustion engine’s output back then was around 500 hp. Freed from these restrictions, equipped with an updated software but running the regular race fuel (E20, containing 20 per cent bio ethanol), the Evo version delivers 720 hp.
Tesla hits the mark
T
esla made 5031 Model 3 electric cars during the last week of June, surpassing its oftenmissed goal of 5000 per week. But the company still only managed to crank out an average of 2198 per week for the quarter. Tesla reported making 28,578 Model 3s from April through June, according to its quarterly production release on Monday. The Model 3, which starts at $35,000, is the key to turning Tesla from a niche maker of expensive electric cars to a profitable, massmarket automaker. The company badly needs cash from the compact cars to deliver on CEO Elon Musk’s promise to post a
net profit and positive cash flow in the third and fourth quarters. To hit that mark, Tesla had to erect a second Model 3 assembly line under a tent outside its California factory and Musk had to spend nights in the plant working out bugs with automation and other problems. Tesla critics now wonder if it can keep up the 5000-per-week rate. Dave Sullivan, manager of product analysis at AutoPacific Inc, said reaching the 5000-per-week won’t make Tesla profitable by itself. “They did everything they can to artificially pump up the third quarter,” Sullivan said. “I think the fourth quarter will be the quarter of reckoning.”

Galaxie from far, far away A
ucklander Neil Beckenham has six classic cars, but it’s the fabulous 1973 Ford Galaxie two-door that we’re looking at today. It’s difficult to miss it — it’s from that wonderful US design era that believed bigger was most definitely better. Neil’s owned classics since his teens — he began with a 1939 Cord V8 when he was 19 — but always hankered after a Galaxie. “When I started work in about 1973, my boss had a fourdoor Galaxie and I thought, ‘Wow, I wouldn’t mind one of those’,” he says. Then, about five years ago, he noticed an American-built one for sale online in Canada. He and his wife Jane had a Canadian friend living nearby who checked the car out for them. “He said he’d buy it.” The deal was done, and Neil became the Galaxie’s second owner. When it arrived in the country, it turned out to be a fabulous buy. Though many Canadian cars suffer rust from salt thrown on snowy roads, this one had sat in a garage, and was “actually cleaner underneath than on top”.
“It’s smiles per gallon, not miles that matter.”
It’s done just 43,000 miles (69,200km). “I call it a preserved car, and I’ve tried to keep it that way, rather than as a restored vehicle,” says Neil. The icing on the cake was that when he registered it, he was told it was the only two-door Galaxie in New Zealand. He’s driven it about 1600km. “I only really use it for vintage club runs or going out to dinner. It’s not the most practical car so I wouldn’t use it as an everyday car.” I can’t imagine that you’d want to angle park it, for starters. It’s 5575mm long, and more than 2m wide. The distance between the front and rear wheels measures 3037mm, just 17mm less than the entire length of a Mini. And, with a kerb weight of 1920kg, it’s hefty. “It was the biggest Galaxie, and I think the biggest coupe they made, bar the Lincoln.” His is the base-spec car, with a 351 – that’s 5.7 litres – Windsor V8 under the bonnet, and power sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed auto. Neil is happy to cruise around 90km/h, and doesn’t know exactly how much it drinks. “It’s smiles per gallon, not miles that matter.”

Pleasantly sporty A
longside their new Drive Happy project Toyota NZ have introduced a flurry of new and revised vehicles. But what is Drive Happy? Well simply it’s an NZ-wide, fixed, driveaway price system. So now with a new purchase there’s no haggling (which will be a decided relief for many) to be done. And of course prices are exactly the same whether you are buying in Kaitaia or Invercargill. What’s more, for most Toyotas, they now cost less, some very considerably so. So what’s the buying process? Let’s say you are considering one of the new Camry range, have done some media/ online research, but are still undecided on which model and colour choice. The next step is to check in with the local dealership (now “store” in Toyotaspeak) where one of the sales staff will work through the range with you, arrange demonstration drives of up to 24 hours etc. Then once the choice is made, build your car online as to colour, and if there’s any optional features, show these. The chosen Camry then arrives from one of Toyota’s new vehicle hubs – Christchurch, Wellington or Auckland. And in keeping with the Drive Happy process, in the unlikely event that on arrival you don’t like what you’ve got, there’s a “buyer’s remorse” arrangement included. This provides that as long as it is still in as new condition and done less than 500km, you can return it! To be sure its a heady time for SUVs and utes, with them having the major share of the new vehicle market. But some people still prefer to drive
larger, four-door cars. In this respect the new, more aggressive looking, better-performing Camry range offers an interesting model variety. They’re all are made in Japan, have new bodies sitting on wider, longer wheelbase platforms. The entry level, $35,990 GL is aimed at fleet buyers. It carries over the 2.5-litre, four cylinder, 133kW/231Nm, petrol engine and a revised six-speed auto from the previous generation. Next in line are two of the three hybrids, the $41,490 GX which has smart entry/ start; dual zone air-con, and the $42,990 SX with styling tweaks to its exterior, satnav and front/rear parking sensors. Sitting between these two and the now top of the range $49,490 ZR hybrid, is the sleek, sportiest driver of them all, the $47,990 V6. All three hybrids use a new 2.5-litre, direct injection, variable valve timed engine which has already received international recognition for its excellent performance. It combines with the hybrid system, for a total output of 160kW, and has a new CVT with stepped shifts and coasting ability for the best possible fuel economy, which is said to be between 4.2-4.5L/100 kms. Meantime the V6 Camry’s 3.5-litre, also direction-injection engine now produces an impressive 224 kW and 362 Nm of torque. This makes it the most powerful, nonturbo sedan Toyota have sold in NZ. Fittingly, when provoked, there’s even an appropriately sporty rasp from its multiple exhausts! As well the V6 has a quick and smooth shifting, eight-speed auto with paddle
TOYOTA CAMRY V6 Roger Hart ROAD TEST
shifters. Which means plenty of get-upand-go as required, or then a very relaxed 1300rpm cruise (on the flat) at 100kmh. It also has sports tuning for its version of the new wider tracked, longer platform’s suspension setup. There’s McPherson struts at the front and a fully independent, double wishbone rear. The result – it drives and handles in a sporty but predictable and composed manner, like no Camry has done before! Oh and looks-wise, while retaining some Camry traits, it looks the part with a much racier style courtesy of its smart grille, low bonnet, 19” alloys, subtle body kit and boot spoiler. Inside its rather luxurious with a neat multi-media system, including a great satnav guidance system. There’s a Lexus feel to many aspects, including soft-touch surfaces and leather furnishings.The latter in the test vehicle was black, but bright red is an option. But the front seats don’t get the in-seat heating/ventilation – that’s reserved for the ZR hybrid. The V6 has, as do its siblings, a Safety Sense package. This includes a pre-crash safety system with autonomous emergency braking, an excellent all-speed adaptive radar cruise control, lane departure warning and more.

Brabham roars again
T
he sensational Brabham BT62 will make its global debut at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed (July 12-15), powering its way up the hillclimb course in its first ever dynamic appearance in public. Unveiled to the world for the first time in London in May, the Brabham BT62 is a race-inspired track car, powered by a Brabham 5.4 litre naturally aspirated V8 engine which produces 710PS. With a dry weight of just 972kg, an aero package which generates 1200kg of downforce and equipped
with Michelin competition tyres, the BT62 is built to deliver blistering lap times and reward its driver like no other. David Brabham said: “The Goodwood Festival of Speed is without equal in celebrating all things automotive, and the opportunity to drive the legendary hillclimb route is amazing. “My father attended the festival himself many times, and it’s great to continue the tradition of a Brabham driving a Brabham up the hill.” In addition to making its dynamic debut, the
BT62’s appearance at Goodwood marks another exclusive for Brabham, with the introduction of a new red and blue livery representing one of the thirty-five Celebration series vehicles, which pays tribute to the car that took Brabham’s nineteenth of thirty-five Formula 1 victories. That Grand Prix-winning car was none other than the iconic red and blue Brabham BT46B – dubbed the ‘fan car’ – which Niki Lauda drove to victory in its first and only race, the Swedish Grand Prix at Anderstorp, on June 17, 1978.

beans, drained 2 roasted marinated capsicums, chopped (or use 2 x fresh) 1T brown sugar To serve Cooked rice Juice of 1 lime Sour cream Fresh coriander leaves ■ Preheat the oven to 130°C fan bake or 150°C conventional bake. ■ Heat a little oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add half the beef and fry without stirring until one side of the meat is browned. Stir and brown the other sides. Transfer to a bowl and repeat with the rest of the meat. Cool slightly, then drain off and discard any liquid. ■ Add another splash of oil to the same pan over a medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, carrot
and celery and cook, stirring for 10 minutes until soft. Add the oregano, cumin, coriander, paprika, chilli powder, bay leaf and tomato paste, stir for a few minutes. Add the coffee, tomatoes, stock, beans, capsicum and sugar, combine well and bring to a simmer. ■ If your pan is ovenproof, cover and bake in the oven for 3 hours, stirring once. Or transfer everything to a covered casserole dish for cooking. ■ Remove from the oven and season as required. ■ To serve: Serve over rice with fresh coriander and a dollop of sour cream. To finish, squeeze over the fresh lime juice. Recipe courtesy of www.recipes.co.nz Beef + Lamb New Zealand

OUR VIEW
Is it time to kick Dotcom out of NZ? K
im Dotcom, remember him? That guy, who lived the lavish life, threw barbs at officialdom and had his house raided? He’s back in the media – although some would argue that he never really left. A Court of Appeal this week upheld a decision that the internet mogul can be extradited to the United States to face criminal copyright charges. Great news, get him out of here; toodle pip, catch ya later mate and adios. But wait, it’s not that easy, because again the man who has seemingly single-handedly held this country to ransom over his behaviour will search for another
avenue in which to ply his trade to try and escape facing authorities. In 2012 a US Grand Jury indicted Dotcom and his group of followers over his now non-existent sharing website, Megaupload, which allegedly shared pirated films and other media. The US has been chasing Dotcom and his posse to get them back there to face the music.
This latest appeal is the second Dotcom has lost – but they now have the option to appeal the Court of Appeal’s judgement to the Supreme Court. Oh goodie. If that fails, then the decision will be left on the shoulders of Justice Minister Andrew Little. Double goodie. In an FBI-ordered raid in 2012, police used the anti-terrorist Special Tactics Group in a helicopter assault on Dotcom’s former Coatesville mansion. The raid resulted in the 13 charges Dotcom and the group face, which include racketeering conspiracy, conspiring to commit copyright infringement and
money laundering and criminal copyright infringement. Despite the failed appeal, Dotcom was still doing what he does best this week – winding people up and trying to get more people on his side through his social media accounts. As though making a mockery of the entire situation and, in so many ways, our country – he tweeted that it had been 2375 days since he was first raided, that he’s spent 2345 days on bail, he’s reported for bail 670 times, spent 165 total days in court and estimates he’s spent $40 million in legal fees with his 20-strong legal team. Surely, it’s time to just come to
the realisation that this guy is taking the mickey out of us and our country and get rid of him, He’s used our land as his own personal safe haven – a place where he feels he’s untouchable and, to be fair, New Zealand certainly hasn’t helped in trying to change that opinion. When his appeal to the Supreme Court fails (and I say when because he’s shown time and time again he doesn’t actually have a leg to stand on and is just stalling for time) let’s hope that Little says that enough is enough and he’s sharply moved on so we aren’t subjected to the puppet-like show that he’s been producing for over half a decade.
York at age 69. In 1988, 167 North Sea oil workers were killed when explosions and fires destroyed a drilling platform. Medical waste and other debris began washing up on New York City-area seashores, forcing the closing of several popular beaches. In 1997, the rover Sojourner rolled down a ramp from the Mars Pathfinder lander on to the Martian landscape to begin inspecting the soil and rocks of the red planet. Ten years ago: The US launched an airstrike in Afghanistan’s Nuristan province; the Afghan government later said 47 civilians died.
Five years ago: A runaway train carrying crude oil derailed in eastern Quebec, igniting fires and explosions that destroyed much of the town of LacMegantic and killed 47 people. A solar-powered aircraft, the Solar Impulse, completed the final leg of a history-making cross-country flight, gliding to a smooth stop at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. One year ago: The maker of opioid painkiller Opana ER said it would stop selling the drug at the request of the Food and Drug Administration in an effort to curb abuse.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, July 6, the 187th day of 2018. There are 178 days left in the year. Today’s highlights in history: On July 6, 1957, Althea Gibson became the first black tennis player to win a Wimbledon singles title as she defeated fellow American Darlene Hard 6-3, 6-2. Sixteen-year-old John Lennon first met 15-year-old Paul McCartney when Lennon’s band, the Quarrymen skiffle group, performed a gig at St Peter’s Church in Woolton, Liverpool. On this date: In 1535, Sir Thomas More was executed in England for high treason. In 1777, during the American Revolution, British forces captured Fort Ticonderoga. In 1885, French scientist Louis Pasteur tested an anti-rabies vaccine on 9-year-old Joseph Meister, who had been bitten by an infected dog; the boy did not develop rabies. In 1917, during World War One, Arab forces led by T. E. Lawrence and Auda Abu Tayi captured the port of Aqaba from the Ottoman Turks. In 1942, Anne Frank, her parents and sister entered a “secret annex” in an Amsterdam building where they were later joined by four other people; they hid from Nazi occupiers for two years before being discovered and arrested. In 1944, an estimated 168 people died in a fire that broke out during a performance in the main tent of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in Hartford, Connecticut. In 1964, the movie A Hard Day’s Night, starring The Beatles, had its world premiere in London. British colony Nyasaland became the independent country of Malawi. In 1967, war erupted as Nigeria sent troops into the secessionist state of Biafra. (The Biafran War lasted 2 1/2 years and resulted in a Nigerian victory.) In 1971, jazz trumpeter and singer Louis Armstrong died in New

You want some cheese with that whine?
I
’m sorry but I need to get a few things off my chest and hopefully it will save Manda having to put up with my fingerpointing and scoffing during rugby games on the telly. Here’s a few things I think World Rugby needs to have a look at right now. Let’s kick off with kick-offs. The side that is kicking off is meant to be behind the kicker until he has actually kicked the blinkin ball. Yes ‘blinkin’. I’ve been told off for swearing in my columns. A metre or two ahead of the ball is against the rules and it looks sloppy! A crackdown for a couple of weeks will clean this right up. Similar deal with penalties, when kicking for touch. The ref making a mark in the turf is not part of his thigh stretching routine. That’s where the penalty is meant to be taken from, not four or five metres beyond that mark. Once again it looks sloppy! I get the feeling that we aren’t going to get scrums any better than they are currently. I admit they have improved this season, but you can still bet your last dollar that there will be resets when a team has a player in the bin or at other times when they want to chew up a couple of minutes. Can we PLEASE ban the man bun. Aaron Smith will thank us for it in the future. If he wants to look like a twisttie rubbish bag, that’s fine, but
Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR
the rugby paddock and on the telly is no place for that carry-on. Next thing you know, teenagers will be following their idols and doing the same. Then, before too long, we won’t be able to call men, men and women, women, but have to opt for a gender neutral title instead. Girls will be banned from wearing skirts to school, because the school opts for gender neutral uniforms (this is happening in the UK) and all toilet blocks will need add-ons. Liam Squire, who has taken over from Andrew Mehrtens as the owner of the most boring hairstyle in rugby, should take Aaron and any other teammates with man buns to his local barber and get them sorted ASAP. Society as a whole needs you to act now Liam! Enough whinging! Now for the positive finish. Dunedin. That covered stadium is fantastic! I love it, just about as much as T J Perenara loves the big screen. It keeps the crap weather out and keeps the atmosphere in. Encouraging the scarfies into the ‘zoo’ was a genius idea and if you listen to the music played in the zoo, the song with the biggest singalong factor is Neil
Diamond’s Sweet Caroline. Make the most of it, that song will probably be banned soon because portraying Caroline as sweet is incredibly sexist. Hopefully those people planning the new stadium in Christchurch take note of the success of Forsyth Barr Stadium and build on it.

■ AIRPORT PRICING
Cutting air travel costs Air New Zealand has slammed the “ravages of airport pricing behaviour” in New Zealand in support of changes to the Commerce Act it says would help curb airport owners’ charging and cut air travel costs for passengers. At the transport and infrastructure select committee yesterday, the airline’s head of government and industry affairs Duncan Small said the changes proposed won’t solve the problem of excessive pricing behaviour by airports, “but do go some distance towards creating a credible threat that regulators may act if excessive pricing behaviour continues”. Small said that corporate airport owners have seen airports as monopoly entities that greater and greater sums can be extracted from. He said New Zealand has some of the weakest regulatory settings in the world leading to airport charges rising consistently and pushing plane ticket costs up. He said infrastructure invest-
ment by the airport owners, specifically Auckland International Airport, has not kept up and the benefits have accrued to shareholders, not to travellers. The airline expects the proposed changes “will curb the worst ravages of airport pricing behaviour”, Small said. “It streamlines the plumbing so that a regulatory threat is immediate, and we would expect that to impact on airport pricing behaviour.

Bank sees downside Global risks coupled with domestic forces are weighing on the New Zealand dollar and Bank of New Zealand says its fair value estimate of 70 US cents faces downside risks that could push it even lower. “The biggest near-term risk we see for the NZD is the ongoing pressure seen in emerging market asset prices,” which has coincided with a recovery in the US dollar, says senior markets strategist Jason Wong. - NZME
‘Dreadful’ loans sold A Westpac bank worker says pressure on staff to sell products means loans are being given to people who can’t service them. The bank strongly rejects the claim and says it has strong credit systems in place to ensure this doesn’t happen. - NMZE

“We hope a credible regulatory threat, which is one that could happen quickly and easily, would result in no further changes to the regulatory regime needing to be made.” Small said currently, airlines weren’t “competing away” the higher charges imposed by airports, and “if airport charges were to reduce a portion of that would be passed back to consumers in the form of lower ticket prices”.
He said he was confident travellers will benefit as a result of the proposed changes. Earlier in the session, Commerce Commission chair Mark Berry also spoke in favour of changes to the legislation, saying he welcomed the airport provisions. Berry also spoke in favour of the introduction of market studies powers for the regulator, saying the studies would bridge a gap in New Zealand’s competition and consumer framework and were very standard provisions available to competition authorities throughout the world. However, he noted that the commission expects to be constrained in the number of studies it can conduct, as they are costly, time-consuming and resource intensive, and it anticipates doing one study a year for $1.5 million. Berry said the commission could potentially have a significant workload investigating the building materials sector in the foreseeable future. - NZME

Dairy prices take a tumble
I
t’s been a mixed week for global markets as trade tensions continued to weigh on investor sentiment. The NXZ 50 reached a record high on Tuesday but fell later in the week, following global peers, ahead of President Donald Trump triggering $34 billion worth of tariffs on Chinese goods. China has said they will ‘absolutely not’ fire the first shot in the trade war and will not be the first to levy tariffs. The trade spat between the world’s largest economies has been in the spotlight for about three months and has riled global markets. Meanwhile, the European Union (EU) is reportedly considering holding international talks to cut a deal on car tariffs. The EU currently imposes a 10 per cent tariff on imports of passenger cars, compared to the 2.5 per cent duty imposed by the US. President Trump has called this unfair and has threatened to impose a 20 per cent tariff on all car imports from the EU which could upend the industry for selling cars into the United States. Additionally, investors in the region breathed a sigh of relief after German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, reached a deal on migration. The deal also ended a political standoff with her interior minister who was threatening to walk off the job. Meanwhile, the euro area unemployment rate held steady at its lowest level since 2008. The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 8.4 per

cent in May; the expected rate was 8.5 per cent. Across the Tasman, Australia’s Central Bank held the official interest rate on hold at its record low of 1.5 per cent, for the 23rd month in a row, as expected. The bank said its stance remains consistent with sustainable growth in the economy. Locally, the results from the latest Global Dairy Trade auction were announced and the index tumbled 5.0 per cent from its previous auction two weeks ago. The fall registered the biggest this year, and a third consecutive drop for the dairy price index. Key product group, whole milk powder, dropped 7.3 per cent, while skim milk powder declined by 4.6 per cent. Butter milk powder marked the biggest gain, up 6.4 per cent, followed by rennet casein, which rose by 3.6 per cent. Cheddar and butter both slipped, down 4.3 per cent and 4.0 per cent, respectively. The latest NZIER Quarterly Survey of Business Opinion has showed a continued decline in business confidence. Nineteen per cent of businesses now expect a deterioration in economic conditions, from 10 per cent in the previous quarter.
This follows the ANZ business confidence survey which fell for a fourth consecutive month, plunging to a seven-month low in June. In corporate news, EBOS soared this week, hitting fresh new highs, after winning the exclusive rights to distribute pharmaceutical products to more than 400 Chemist Warehouse and My Chemist stores in Australia. Both parties expect to enter into a five-year agreement. With the potential for an extension for a further three years. EBOS estimates that sales to Chemist Warehouse Group will generate approximately $1 billion in revenue in the first year of the agreement. Meanwhile, The a2 Milk Company announced it extended its supply agreement with Synlait Milk. The revised agreement provides a new minimum term of five years, with a rolling threeyear term from August 2018. The agreement will see an increase in volume of infant formula products which Synlait already has exclusive supply rights to, and an increased committed production capacity from Synlait. Synlait Milk rose to an all-time high off the news. Jeremy Flood works for Craigs Investment Partners. This article should not be deemed as advice.

In brief
■ HARNESS RACING
Bonneval thriving
Hard yards getting results Like the energizer bunny, John Morrison just keeps going. And the longer the harness season goes, the better it gets for the multi-talented Ashburton horseman. Morrison notched his first winning double in the sulky at last week’s Forbury Park meeting with Navajo Art and Selena Franco. Driving horses is only one of four jobs Morrison is working at the moment. He is also training a team of eight horses, running his farrier business and helping out at Spreydon Lodge. Morrison previously worked for trainer Steven McRae and is back at the home of the Francos helping out on a short-term basis. “It’s definitely busy at the moment.’’ ‘’I’m just helping Steven McRae out every second day for a few hours in the mornings. “I will be finishing up there in a month or so. “He broke his ankle a month or more ago and I have been giving them a hand.’’
Ashburton Guardian 31
Hard work is getting results on the track for John Morrison. Morrison’s results in the sulky are paying off as he continues to put in the hard yards.
“It was sort of quiet there for a couple of months, but it has taken off again I have won a race
every week for the last few weeks and just got my first double.’’ He heads to Forbury Park tonight to try to seal his win in the Forbury Park Junior Drivers series with Clifton Tactic. “It is almost like a drop back for her, I think, and the draw should suit her, so she shouldn’t be too far away.” Morrison also drives the consistent Pat The Monkey, who will again try to crack a maiden win at Forbury Park. Kiwi Bloke is among eight horses Morrison has in his stable. He lines up in a 2000m standing start event at Rangiora on Sunday. “He shouldn’t be too far away from winning a race, he is a good beginner so he should step alright.’’ The rest of Morrison’s team is made up of mostly younger horses that could hit the track next season, as well as newcomer Sky City King. “There are a few just jogging up, there are a couple of unqualified trotters I don’t mind, so hopefully.’’ - NZHN
Outstanding mare Bonneval is making good progress during the early stages of a new preparation that is hoped to see her cross the Tasman again. The multiple Group One winner hasn’t raced since last spring after injury halted her proposed summer campaign. “She’s had a couple of easy gallops and all going well she’ll trial at Te Teko in early August,” said Andrew Forsman, who trains the Makfi four-year-old with Murray Baker. “She looks great and she’s really thriving at the moment.” - NZME
Hatton unveils new star Pukekohe trainer Jim Hatton might have unearthed a filly to provide him with a first stakes win. Hatton produced Jimmy Choux two-yearold filly Choux A Star for an eyecatching debut second to Botti at Pukekohe last month and another bold performance at Te Rapa could earn her a shot at this month’s Ryder Stakes at Awapuni. - NZME
Badger eyes NZ Cup Trainer Robert Dunn has confirmed a New Zealand Cup campaign is in the plans for last week’s excellent Winter Cup winner, Billy Badger. “After that win I sat down with (son) Johnny and (owners) the Gordons and we had a good talk about it, and we think he deserves a crack at the top company.” - HRNZ

In brief Double centurion Wyatt Crockett has attracted praise for his loyalty and longevity ahead of a milestone 200th Super Rugby appearance. When Crockett comes off the bench at Wyatt Crockett Stadium – normally AMI Stadium – he will become the competition’s first double centurion. Coach Scott Robertson joined those lauding Crockett’s loyalty to the Crusaders. Most other players to have surpassed 150 games have represented two or more teams. “To reach 200 games at this level takes an immense amount of talent, commitment and personal sacrifice over a long period of time,” Robertson said. - NZME

He’s fit and available, but Israel Dagg has missed out on selection in the Crusaders’ 23 to take on the Highlanders tonight. Dagg has undergone a horror last 10 months, suffering a knee injury playing for the All Blacks against Argentina in September. While he returned to the Crusaders in April, he had an unfortunate setback against the Brumbies, and was forced back to the sidelines. The Crusaders have opted to start David Havili at fullback, with Seta Tamanivalu and George Bridge on the wings, leaving the 66-test All Black having to play club rugby. - NZME
■ RUGBY
Pulu returns for Blues
AshHutt running hot
Captain Augustine Pulu returns for a Blues side showing little sympathy for the Hurricanes’ flagging Super Rugby fortunes. Halftback Pulu replaces Sam Nock for tomorrow’s match in Wellington in the only change from the side which overwhelmed the Reds 39-16 – just their fourth win. With Sonny Bill Williams ruled out for the season, coach Tana Umaga has retained the makeshift midfield comprising specialist outside backs Rieko Ioane and Michael Collins, which proved effective last week. The match is a pivotal one for the Hurricanes, who have lost three straight matches. - NMZE
With the pointy end of the season approaching, Mid Canterbury’s schoolgirl rugby side AshHutt is making every post a winner. The outstanding side, who have compiled an impressive record over recent seasons, made light work of their clash with close neighbours, Geraldine on Wednesday, winning 84-10. Before the two sides took to the field the result was a fore-
gone conclusion with Geraldine unable to field a full side for the match and therefore defaulted, but in order to get a game in, the AshHutt team provided their rivals with two players to get the game under way. Despite the heavily weighted scoreline, AshHutt faced a stern challenge from their rivals and took the opportunity to try some new moves as a team.
The side, which is coached by Grant Elvines, Laura Hanson, Keith Early and Nigel Smith – the AshHutt side were keen to thank the two girls, Steph Geeson and Megan Hurley for stepping in to help Geraldine for the match. The locals scored tries in the match through Kate Brady, Kate Donald (captain), Naomi Sooaemalelagi, Tyla Harraway, Paris Gola, Naumai Terekia, Piper Jones,
Sophie Nathan with Donald adding a number of conversions. After a recent loss to Craighead, their first of the season, the side now has six matches left in the season should they make their way through to the final. They have taken plenty of key learnings from that defeat and are applying them strongly around the paddock to get things back on track.
■ CYCLING
Kiwi cyclists embarking on ride of a lifetime Eight amateur cyclists are gathered in the Vendee region on the Atlantic coast of France, about to embark on the challenge of a lifetime by riding every stage of the 2018 Tour De France route, one day ahead of the actual race itself. They are starting their epic journey today. The 3351km route is being ridden to raise funds and awareness for the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand and already the group has raised over $50,000 for the charity. They hope to reach their stretch target of over $100,000. The ride aims to help the Mental Health Foundation provide information to individuals, families, friends and whanau about where to turn for help and the
ways to look after ourselves and others. The team have been expertly coached and supported by exTour De France rider ex-pat Ashburtonian Hayden Roulston to give them the very best chance of success. They have trained extremely hard for the last six months, committing to up to 20 hours training each week and have gone on a specific low carb, high fat nutritional plan to prepare themselves for the gruelling ride ahead. Jonathan Douglas organiser and keen amateur cyclist chose from over 100 applicants who met the criteria of being fit and mentally tough enough to take on the non-competitive challenge of a lifetime.
“We believe this is the first time a team of amateur riders from New Zealand has attempted to ride all 21 stages of the race, it’s going to a huge challenge”, says Douglas. The Tour De France is the world’s most popular multiple stage cycling race. The 2018 route consists of 21 stages over a 3-week period and covers over 3300km of riding. Each stage varies in length with the longest stage being 239km and a couple of stages involving riding over 5000m of vertical climbing. In this year’s actual race NZ has four confirmed riders: Patrick Bevin (Team BMC) Jack Bauer (Mitchelton-Scott), Tom Scully(EF Drapac) and Dion Smith (Wanty-Groupe Gobert).
Big bucks for Twickers Ordinary Kiwis have been locked out of three of the All Blacks’ Northern Hemisphere test matches in November, unless they can stump up thousands for tour packages or scalped tickets. Because none of the 82,000 tickets at London’s Twickenham Stadium have been released to the general public, the only option locally is through the New Zealand Rugby Union’s official travel company where prices for the November 10 match and accommodation start at $2095. - NZME
Tahs wary of Wolves
Hayden Roulston in action
The NSW Waratahs will look to avoid an offload battle with the Sunwolves in what shapes as a frantic, fast-paced Super Rugby clash. The Tahs lead the Australian conference by four points from the Melbourne Rebels with two rounds remaining. A loss to the Sunwolves in Sydney tomorrow could see them caught or even passed by the Rebels, who play the Reds in Brisbane tonight. While the Sunwolves have won just three games, they are coming off a fine win over the Bulls and rate highly in some key statistical categories. - AAP

In brief Roach destroys Bangas A sensational spell of five wickets in 12 deliveries from West Indies paceman Kemar Roach helped skittle Bangladesh for just 43, their lowest test match score and the worst by any team for 44 years. The tourists posted the lowest total since India were dismissed for 42 in 1974 with their pitiful 112-ball knock the second shortest first innings in a test. By the close of the opening day the hosts had established a 158-run lead on 2-201 with Kraigg Brathwaite on 88. - AAP
Gelling on the move Anthony Gelling’s Warriors contract will last just one season after he signed a Super League deal with Widnes from 2019. Gelling has penned a two-year contract, taking him back to England where he enjoyed six productive seasons with Wigan. The 27-year-old centre has struggled to break into the Warriors’ first-choice starting lineup, making six appearances. He made his third start in last week’s loss to Cronulla, when he scored his second try for the club. - NZME

Hanan on the horizon By Erin TaskEr
Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz
Mid Canterbury A netball coach Claire Tappin has named the side she hopes will take Mid Canterbury to victory at their annual Hanan Shield tournament next month. The side was made up of five Celtic A players, three United A players, one Celtic B player and one from Southern, while the three non-travelling reserves were from Methven A, United A and Hampstead A. Two trials had to be held before picking the side due to the sheer number of players who turned up, and the depth of talent on offer, and Tappin said she was pleased with the make-up of the team. While the unbeaten premier one Celtic A side had contributed the most players to the side, it was some of the players who would be making the step up from the lower grades that had Tappin the most excited.
Among them was Rachel Curd, a new player this season who had started out the season with Southern B. Curd was a goal defence/centre and she’d been selected predominantly as a centre, Tappin said. “She’s physically strong, her defensive play is outstanding and she is great with intercepts. “She’s just got that physique and ability to read the game, speed, and she’s just a really exceptional player,” Tappin said. The team included a good mix of players who had featured at representative level before, like Celtic’s defensive duo of Gina Woodhouse and Anna Holland, but a number of younger players had stepped up to the mark to ensure Tappin would have a headache choosing a starting line-up. United A’s Jazzlyn Leonard started the season at goal shoot, but her court play had impressed and she’d been selected in the
Mid Canterbury side as a goal attack, with United A goal shoot Olivia McLennan – who had shot above 90 per cent for most of the season – also included in the squad. “There was a group that were very much putting their hands up to start and there was a group of about eight who were all very much on a par, and several of those were shooters, so the shooter decisions weren’t easy,” Tappin said. Natalie Allen from Celtic was one of the steadiest shooters around. “She doesn’t seem to have a bad game. She shoots consistently highly and has good ball skills and is a good playmaker,” Tappin said. Tappin said she was looking forward to watching combinations develop across the court. “In the mid-court it’s looking really exciting too. “You’ve got Rachel Curd in there who is new to us, but Shan-
non Stockdale at wing attack is just having such a strong season,” Tappin said. “Her stamina, her speed and her agility are just absolutely outstanding.” Mid Canterbury will take on South Canterbury and North Otago at the annual Hanan Shield tournament in Timaru on August 5. Tappin said work was currently under way to try and secure Mid Canterbury a couple of warm-up games.
MID CANTERBURY The Mid Canterbury A netball team is: Olivia McLennan, Natalie Allen, Hayley Duthie, Shannon Stockdale, Bridget Grant, Rachel Curd, Alice Breading, Gina Woodhouse, Anna Holland, Jazzlyn Leonard. Non-travelling reserves: Malana Ngametua, Victoria Lewthwaite, Emma Rosevear.
Injury puts entire season in doubt for Kopua Former Silver Ferns skipper and Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic captain Casey Kopua may be out for the remainder of the ANZ Premiership season after suffering a foot injury. Kopua was named in the Magic’s starting seven before injuring her foot during the team’s warmup at Auckland’s Pulman Arena.
With the raw combination of Katherine Levien and Ashburton’s Kate Lloyd tasked with leading the defence end, Kopua’s absence was felt as the Magic were defeated 56-51 by the Stars. Details of the injury are yet to be released by team management, but speaking with Sky Sport after the disappointing
loss, Kopua looked emotional and said it was tough to watch her side from the bench. “Especially after last week’s performance, I know that the girls won’t be happy with that, but I guess we get a [bonus] point out of that,” Kopua said. “I was feeling fine and then all of a sudden I just went to push
off, I thought somebody had hit me but nobody was near me.” Kopua has had a rough run of injuries in recent years, with the most serious coming in 2014, when she missed six months after dislocating her knee and rupturing her patella tendon during the Constellation Cup test loss to Australia. - NZME
Penrith coach Anthony Griffin insists there was nothing extraordinary about the NRL club’s midseason review and is mystified why speculation continues to surround his future. Griffin’s position at the Panthers was again questioned ahead of tonight’s clash with the Warriors, after reports this week suggested his role was the subject of a mid-season review. Penrith are adamant that review was prescheduled and took place while players were away for the representative around – a stance Griffin maintained yesterday. - AAP
Basketbrawl apology The basketball federations of Australia and the Philippines have issued a joint apology for Monday’s disturbing ‘basketbrawl’, but it’s unlikely to soften the penalties that will be handed down by FIBA. Players from Australia and the Philippines are facing long bans over their involvement in the out-of-control brawl. Philippines players and officials are set to bear the brunt of the penalties, but Australians Daniel Kickert and Thon Maker also face nervous waits. - AAP
Wimbledon’s flying ants Caroline Wozniacki appeared to be the player most distracted by an annual invasion of flying ants at Wimbledon as she was dumped out in the second round. The Australian Open champion found herself pestered by scores of the insects during her clash with Ekaterina Makarova. An exasperated Wozniacki requested some repellent after losing the opening set, and battled back to emphatically claim the second. She then dropped the decider 5-7. - NZME
Froome focused on Tour Defending champ Chris Froome said he was relieved to be able to pursue a fifth Tour de France title after being cleared by cycling’s governing body of any wrongdoing in a doping case. “Now I just want to draw a line in the sand and move on,” the 33-year-old told a news conference. “My aim is to win and go for a Tour-Giro double.” - PA

The opening round at Melbourne Park will take place March 17, 2019, subject to confirmation. This year’s race in Australia was March 25 but the extra week could ease congestion in the middle of the campaign – which this term even features a triple-header of races in three consecutive weeks.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Beware of collective delusion. When you have an unpopular opinion, it’s easy to think that you’re the delusional one – when you’re actually the only one who understands the reality of what’s going on. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Take a picture of the moon or a sunset and it becomes clear that life often looks a lot better than the picture of life. But at times the picture looks better. You’ll go out of your way because of a photograph. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): In the animal kingdom, enemies are other creatures competing for resources. In human terms, figure out if the opposition is sinister or just competing for the same thing as you. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ll be wise to spend several hours cultivating good fortune by talking with others, sharing your heart, serving, helping and cleaning and clearing your environment to make way for good luck to drop on in. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Friendship is the most valuable thing that the day has to offer. A spontaneous opportunity to connect will pop up and it will be worthwhile for you veer from your original plan and be social. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’ve been paying attention. Your best guess is a strong one. Act on it. Don’t talk about it first or you could talk yourself out of it. Action will begin a fortunate chain reaction. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’ll gravitate to the strong personalities, the intimidating presence, the people who are sure to impress and even intoxicate you. Get ready: They’re sure to throw you off balance. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Dissatisfaction is part of the human experience, so don’t blame yourself or anyone else. Offer yourself some kindness, and wish the best for others. Be surprised how that turns it around for the better. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You can only experience life from your own point of view. Even though you know you are not the centre of the universe, you have to live as though you are, taking the best care of yourself that you can. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Socrates said, “I know only one thing: that I know nothing.” And if Socrates (widely regarded as one of the finest minds of antiquity) knew nothing, you can excuse yourself for being under-informed today. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): This is not a game you win once and become champion of forever. Life’s battles are fought over and over. Truly, some of them are getting old. But persist anyway. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Don’t skimp on the details today. It’s important to be faithful in your attention and commitment to small things because it’s the small things that will build your strength.

BAABAAS CHARGING BY JAMES REGAN The Ashburton Barbarians are hailing a change in attitude for their revival in this year’s Canterbury Rugby League division one competition. The Barbarians sat second in the competition after upsetting previously unbeaten ladder leaders Burnham Chevaliers on June 23. They had lost just two games this season to put themselves in the box seat for a crucial top-two finish. However, it wasn’t just on the field that the club was seeing the benefits of senior figures in the club stepping up. Player and former coach Steve Gamble
said off-field changes needed to happen in order to see results on game day. “At the start of the season we made some changes to pretty much everything we do. “We decided this year we’re going to put together a proper committee,” Gamble said. “We decided that we were going to do things properly instead of being a team that just turns up and plays. “We got our main group of boys together and anyone else who was interested and sat down and said, ‘this is how it’s going to work this year’. “They either had to buy into it or they weren’t really welcome to play at the club.” The Barbarians finished a disappointing fourth on the table last season with just four
wins from 12 games, making an immediate finals exit via a 60-10 thrashing at the hands of the Chevaliers. But Gamble said the team knew they had what it took to challenge for the top spots in div one – it was just a case of putting it into practice. “Our club has always had a strong culture but now it’s about standing up and delivering on the field as well as off,” Gamble said. “For example, in the past we would have lost and just carried on doing the same thing. “This season we lost to Burnham and sat down as a collective group and said, ‘this is why we lost to them and this is what we need to do to beat them’.”

The Barbarians were thankful for the wider community, who had come together and helped with club facilities, including new floodlights at Ashburton’s Robilliard Park. “When we started the club up we could have only dreamt that this would be where it would go,” Gamble enthused. “You turn up to the Burnham game (last weekend) there would have been probably 300-400 people there watching. “The community are really getting behind us.” A long-awaited division one grand final appearance would be the ideal way to repay their supporters’ faith – and a fitting reward for the club’s transformation off the paddock.
