Worker shortage becomes critical BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

IN TODAY’S GUARDIAN

Ashburton is facing a major shortage of employees that business owners and employers say is hampering economic growth. And while there are no easy answers, Talley’s Ashburton branch manager Malcolm Wallace believes a hard-hitting marketing campaign targeting North Islanders could go some way towards filling the employment gap. He was one of a number of employers taking part in a job summit in Ashburton this week at which the facts of the labour shortage were spelled out. “The truth is, we’ve got good people in Ashburton, we just don’t have enough of them,” Wallace said. The summit was held in response to a television interview where mayor Donna Favel talked about the problems employers had in both attracting and re-

taining staff. While the employment situation was already tough, Wallace said any tightening of immigration numbers as promised by the new Labour government would only make the problem worse. His company has a workforce that is about 40 per cent migrants. “For the regions we should be making a case for easing up on visa renewal restrictions,” he said. Tighter rules around immigration could force Talley’s to look at “building people rather than recruiting people” and there were already discussions under way around working with school leavers. A longer term solution, Wallace believes, is to attract people from other parts of New Zealand to live and work in the district. For that to be successful, however, there needed to be a strong, focused campaign that promoted the things that

the district offered such as open spaces, cheaper housing, lack of traffic and that campaign needed to be well planned, to involve a range of employers and to be driven by the district council, he said. The workforce shortage was also hitting the professions, said Ashburton College principal Ross Preece. “One of our big challenges is attracting people to the region. If you’re a young person, is there night life that would make Ashburton attractive? Probably not. Yes Ashburton is a safe place to raise a family and it’s a good place to buy a home but there’s a disconnect with young people coming here – if you don’t find a soul mate then you’re likely to move on, Preece said.

■ ST JOSEPH’S SCHOOL

Most successful Grandparents’ Day yet By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

The St Joseph’s Catholic School population nearly trebled in size on Thursday morning, as the school cel-

ebrated its most successful Grandparents’ Day yet. Grannies, pops, grandmas, grans and nannas enjoyed a prayer service with their grandchildren, followed by

morning tea under the sun as well as having the chance to have a peek inside the classrooms. Principal Cath Blacklow said the annual school-wide

event continues to attract more and more people each year, to the extent that they were now struggling to fit everyone into their school marquee.

Worker shortage now critical From P1 Wilson’s Bulk Transport general manager Jonathan Ward believes part of the worker shortage is due to the district’s ageing population. “Everyone has the same problem. We have a general lack of bodies full stop because Mid Canterbury is ageing and young people are

not coming in to take on the jobs,” he said. Both Ward and Wallace said failed pre-employment drug tests kept a number of people out of the workforce. While the district’s unemployment rate was listed as a very low 2.1 per cent, (half the national average), mayor Favel believes it is even lower.

One of the most important things to come out of the meeting was that employers realised the problem they had finding staff was not just restricted to their industry, it was across the board, Favel said. “Some employers are doing good things getting people here but it’s also about reten-

tion. People might come here for jobs but if their partner or families don’t settle then they’ll move away. This is not just one industry, it’s much wider, but I believe solutions will come if we work together on this.” The rural sector alone was looking at vacancies that topped 70, she said.

Thelma Bell has a problem – how to film the best of the Ashburton District in less than two days. She’s leading a project that will see a film crew from the Philippines capture the scenery, activities and lives of Filipinos living in the district as part of a 45-minute documentary. The district councillor said she was in regular contact with the production team and had provided them with a long list of options they might like to include, but that’s the problem, Bell said, there is so much choice. “It’s up to them to choose what they want. I’ve sent them a lot of photos and website links but with less than two days’ filming, we don’t have a lot of time,” she said. The production crew of five will stay with fellow district councillor Lynette Lovett to experience a slice of Kiwi farm life and will film a range of scenic attractions. One of the big focuses of the documentary will be Filipinos now living in Ashburton. And even that segment will be a juggling act, Bell said, with the community now spread across a wide range of industries and employers. “We’ll be packing as much as we can into a short space of time but there’s likely to be a lot of travel involved. There are such a lot of possibilities.” A citizenship ceremony will be included in the filming. The council has contributed $2000 from its economic development budget towards the project because it will give significant exposure of the district in the Philippines to an audience of more than 1.5 million. Local tourism operators are funding a portion of the trip.

■ HAMPSTEAD KINDERGARTEN

Preschoolers put athletic skills to test By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

The 40 preschoolers at Hampstead Kindergarten tested their athletic prowess at a sports day yesterday. Head teacher Justine Hanrahan said the children had been learning about how to look after their bodies with healthy eating, and an activity and sports day was a logical follow-on event. The youngsters, cheered on by staff and parents, took part in running races, sack races, a tug of war, beanbag throwing and more. The kindergarten used the athletic track at Hampstead School for the mini-sports meet, and enjoyed sunshine throughout the morning.

■ ALCOHOL IN RESTHOMES

Resthome liquor dropoffs? Not here By Sue newman

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Taxis might be doing big business delivering alcohol to resthomes in some parts of New Zealand, but it’s far from core-business in Ashburton. A spokesperson for Ashburton Taxis said that in her 10 years with the company she could not recall an occasion when an alcohol collection order had come from a resthome resident, but taxi services in Christchurch say it is not uncommon to do such deliveries. That doesn’t mean that Ashburton’s resthomes are no-alcohol zones, however. Most have a happy hour for residents weekly or monthly and most believe having

alcohol stocks in their rooms is a resident’s right. Rosebank general manager Sue Prowse said that in the years she’s been at the resthome there had been no issues with alcohol abuse by residents. “From our perspective if people are here and they choose to have alcohol in their rooms, then that’s their prerogative. “They’re adults, this is their home and they can make decisions about how they live their lives as long as what they do doesn’t affect other people, then that’s fine.” Rosebank has a happy hour each week and in addition, if residents chose, they could have

a drink each night, the same as they may have done in their own home, Prowse said. Staff, however, did keep a close eye on residents as from time to time there would be people who, because of a medical condition or medication, might be advised not to consume alcohol, she said. Coldstream House owner Vicky Green said residents enjoyed a regular happy hour but keeping alcohol in residents’ rooms was not encouraged. “We prefer it’s not in rooms because of medication issues and we have to be aware of that,” she said. That didn’t mean the resthome had a no-alcohol policy, however.

“We wouldn’t stop someone if they wanted to have a wee drink, a wine or sherry before dinner but we would control it. We want to maintain the dignity and the independence they’ve traditionally had.” Green said she not aware of a taxi dropping an alcohol order off at a resthome. Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drug Service (ACADS) manager Chris Clark said the elderly were no different to any other age group in the community; if they consumed alcohol when they were younger and living at home, it was likely they’d consume alcohol when they moved into a resthome.

And providing consumption was in moderation, that shouldn’t create an issue, the problems came when consumption was excessive, Clark said. “As people age they can’t process alcohol the same as they did when they were when they were younger and often they’re on medication so that could become a problem. The other issue is the higher risk of a fall,” she said. ACADS did have older clients on its books, but Clark said they certainly weren’t over represented. The health recommendations on alcohol consumption for the elderly is no more than one unit per day.

Litter of kittens taken in burglary

Fingers crossed for a sunny Saturday BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

BY KATIE TODD

KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Thieves took off with a litter of kittens during a nasty burglary on Monday. The break-in occurred on Monday evening in Netherby, and saw five one-month-old kittens taken from their mother and their doting owner, Nicole Hickson. Hickson said the kittens are too young to live independently from their mother, and weren’t due to be weaned and rehomed until December. As a result, the mother cat has become evidently “stressed and meowing everywhere,” and has stopped eating. Hickson said she was in the process of moving house when the cats, who were secured inside the house, were nabbed along with a packing box. “We went to the house to take them to our new home – and instead they were all taken,” she said. She said she presumed the thief had got in through a window and said “we have no idea who would have done it”.

A mother cat has been left stressed and meowing after her five beloved kittens were taken in a robbery. PHOTO SUPPLIED Hickson said the very reason they were moving house was to get away from crime. “We were moving as we were sick of the area and having breakins,” she said. The litter of kittens originally

consisted of six. Hickman said after one died at birth, she did everything she could for the remaining kittens. She was urging anyone to come forward if they had seen or heard anything of the kittens.

For Methven’s Care Trust, sunshine will equal dollars in the bank this weekend. On Saturday nine properties in the Methven and Barrhill areas will open their gardens and homes to the public to help raise funds for the new Methven House to be built in Camrose Estate. Ticket sales have been steady and a warm Saturday is expected to see a burst of last minute sales, said trust secretary Sue van den Heuvel. The house and garden tour is the third the trust has staged. Apart from one property on this year’s tour list, none have been part of the tour before. Tour maps are provided with tickets and the properties can be viewed in any order. Devonshire tea will be provided by Methven House staff at one property. To ensure tickets are available until the last minute, the Methven i-SITE will open at 9am on Saturday. “They’ve had approval to do this so they can support the community and support the trust,” van den Heuvel said.

With four of the properties rurally based, garden visitors would need transport, she said. The event had been a significant fundraiser for the trust in the past but it could not be held without the willingness of people to open their homes and gardens to the public. The committee hopes to top the $8000 raised last year but that would rely on the weather on the day – a warm day meant big numbers of on-the-day ticket sales, van den Heuvel said. The Camrose Estate Methven House will replace the current facility. It will be purpose-built and will be constructed in stages. Stage one is anticipated to cost around $5 million and will include a 20 bed resthome level care complex. This will include units with ensuite bathrooms and there will also be smaller private lounges, a room for visiting healthcare and service professionals and a large open-plan dining area which can be connected to the main lounge to host community functions. Methven’s house and garden tour will run from 10am to 3.30pm on Saturday.

Get your facts right before criticising Matt Markham

EDITOR

T

hey say you should never let the facts get in the way of a good story. That is unless, of course, the facts do get in the way of a good story. I’ve grown up in the world of horse racing, so feel I have a pretty good grasp of how it works, yet each year when the major racing carnivals roll around I seem to allow myself to get more worked up than the last year when protestors start trying to hammer home just how cruel and inhumane horse racing is. I am in no way saying these protestors shouldn’t be entitled to their opinion, but the fact that they use unsubstantiated facts and figures to push their case is what irks me the most. I can safely put my hand on my heart and say that every horse trainer that I have an association with, every driver, jockey, stablehand or strapper all treat their horses with the utmost respect and care. Growing up our racehorses at home were treated like kings, they might not have been the fastest out on the track, but they were a part of the family. Sometimes they even usurped my siblings and I in terms of favouritism. Sorry Mum. They are fed, looked after and nurtured. But their nature is to run. It’s bred into them from many, many years ago – standardbreds and thoroughbreds, their natural instinct is to be out running and going as fast as they possibly can. They literally thrive on it. And if they don’t, all forms of encouragement and learning and offers to try and entice them to by horsemen and women around the world. But, unfortunately, it’s not always a positive result. Some horses just don’t cut it on the track. Luckily though, the recent increase in options for horses after their racing careers have ended racing have rapidly decreased the number of those who have been sent away for meat processing – a real positive step in my opinion. In any situation, there are always going to be undesirable outcomes and there will always be bad eggs who paint a poorer image of everyone else. But don’t let those people taint what is a very strong, prosperous and caring industry.

hy do 43,000 people like the Shit Towns of New Zealand Facebook page? I just don’t get it. What exactly do they find funny about the author slagging off another town. I appreciate humour and good writing. I have enjoyed reading the columns from Dave Barry in the US and, closer to home, I really enjoyed Bob Jones’ last book, which was a collection of his best columns. I’m not suggesting Bob’s columns were always fluffy and funny, but they weren’t a load of absolute tripe (to quote Sir Bob) like this author’s attempt at humour. I see a number of locals have stuck up for our town and responded, pointing out our good points, some even with photos. While I think that sort of town pride is admirable, it’s probably the worst thing we can do. I think that is just fuelling this

It’s hard not to get emotional, but remember feelings are just visitors, let them come and go. Maybe we should respond with a page called Shit Hot Towns of New Zealand. Don’t mess with bacon My second why this week is, why do we need to mess with bacon? Isn’t it just about perfect as is? Also, isn’t fat our friend these days and sugar the big enemy? It would appear not, well not

in China anyway where they are trying to produce low-fat bacon? Chinese researchers say that they have been able to breed healthy pigs with a quarter less fat than normal swine. In an effort bid to breed pigs that would be cheaper to maintain, researchers injected an embryonic pig cell with a mouse gene that enables animals to regulate their body temperatures in cold conditions. Twelve male piglets were born with the new gene. These genetically modified piglets were able to generate heat by burning fat, causing them to have less on their bodies compared to a regular pig. They found that the pigs produced a leaner meat and were better at surviving colder temperatures. The benefits of the modified pigs would be lower heating and feeding costs for pig farmers and would prevent piglets dying from the cold in winter. The

ear page administrator of Shit Towns of New Zealand: Entering Ashburton from the south, you will see two signs in quick succession. The first kindly welcomes you to Ashburton and the second advises you where to dump your stock effluent. Unfortunately, it appears you were unable to follow the said instructions, and ceremoniously dumped your faecal opinions all over our gentle town. My name is Katie Todd, I work for the Ashburton Guardian, and I have dwelled in this humble township for a grand total of four months and six days. As I stood in the shower last night scrubbing the nitrates and negativity off my skin, I couldn’t help but muse on a few flaws in your Wikipediafuelled spiel. I firmly believe that alongside all the mediocre, foible and flagrantly odious towns in New Zealand, your Ashburton roast is a waste of Facebook server space. Firstly and most obviously, you mention the removal of our troublesome trains, but later miss a recent development. Last month, our town was alleviated of its iSITE. We are all sleeping easier without the terrifyingly persistent pamphlet pushers you describe and without the hordes of train passengers rushing (presumably) to get a glimpse of our world-class cow pat. Secondly, you mention two C-grade

celebrities whose roots lie in our modest metropolis, but fail to mention the third (and possibly final). I’ll have you know, we have a prestigious awardwinner in our midst – holder of the esteemed New Zealand TV Guide Sexiest Woman Award, Robyn Malcom. Thirdly, you mention our district being “engulfed by flies”, but Ashburton is described by Stuff.co.nz as one of the 21 top terrestrial fly fishing locations in New Zealand. Hey, that sounds like a bunch of productive locals to me! Finally, as one of our kind readers pointed out, our swimmable rivers are more than redeemed by our many lakes – peeeerfect for drowning the pessimists. *distant echoes of evil befuddled granny cackling*. In conclusion, I admire your intentions to (literally) shit-stir, but the only feathers ruffling are that of our town’s pet peacock (I repeat, our “torturously boring” town’s exotic PET PEACOCK). Thank you for your attention and I kindly advise you to exercise future grudges on the giant human mouse wheel in our town’s playground – and you can’t deny that’s also a pretty dope feature. Yours sincerely, Katie #PROUDASHBURTONIAN Todd Katie Todd came to Ashburton fresh from the big city of Auckland and has slotted into the Guardian newsroom like a gumboot into a cowpat

leaner pigs would also produce healthier, low-fat bacon. It is too soon to say whether the genetic mutation would affect the taste of the meat. But here is a clue; the low-fat pigs were created using a new gene editing technique called ‘CRISPR-Cas9’. The only really cold piggy I want to see are the packs of bacon in my freezer. I can’t help thinking about the “winter coat” I add on every year and wonder what it would take to get a bit of that ‘lower fat, cold doesn’t bother me’ gene therapy for myself?

‘He was shooting children’ A few dozen families gathered in the yard of the First Baptist Church on Tuesday, October 31, their children dressed as Dalmatians and pirates as they ran through a bounce house and crowded around a metal tub to fish for rubber duckies. The modest “fall fest” gathering aimed to provide an alternative to Halloween – an attractive innovation in a deeply conservative region. For Michelle Shields, the event included a positive development: Her son-in-law, Devin Patrick Kelley, 26, was in the crowd. There’d been recent tension in the family, so she hoped Kelley’s appearance with her granddaughter meant things were on the upswing. The next night, Kelley and his wife, Danielle, seemed fine as they joined another couple for dinner at the other family’s home. “He was happy, laughing, giggly, holding his kids, holding my kids. “Smacking his wife on the butt, you know, ‘I love you, baby’ kind of stuff,” said the husband, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he and his wife have received threats. “I have no clue as to what really happened. “He was fine, and that was Wednesday.” On Sunday, Kelley returned to the church, this time dressed in all black, wearing body armour and a mask and carrying an assault-style rifle. He shot the associate pastor, and the church secretary, and children as they cried for their parents. He killed about half the people in the church and shot many of the rest. His intention, according to his own declaration during the rampage, was to kill everyone. Authorities have not offered an official explanation of Kelley’s motive but have revealed that he was in the midst of a domestic quarrel with, and had sent threatening text messages to, his mother-in-law. But she wasn’t even there that day. The mass murder came at the end of a turbulent period for Kelley, whose adulthood was filled with marriages and children but also troublesome signs of mental health problems, domestic violence, a stint in jail and a bad conduct

Sexual harassment suit Mariah Carey’s former security boss has threatened to sue her for sexual harassment and branding him a white supremacist. A draft lawsuit prepared by Michael Anello’s lawyer claimed his company worked for the Hero singer from June 2015 to May 2017 but were not paid a balance of $221,329.51, and had also been promised an additional two years’ work, which would have been worth another $511,000. The documents state Carey “constantly humiliated” Anello and his colleague by referring to them as Nazis, skinheads, KKK members and white supremacists, and claimed she “wanted to be surrounded with black guys, not white people”.

discharge from the Air Force. Some friends who interacted with Kelley recently said that he’d become very erratic. He’d told at least one friend that he had begun taking a panic disorder drug and wanted to borrow money to pay for a psychiatrist. His final Facebook posts consisted of complaints of headaches and gripes about lingering neck and head pain from a motorcycle accident in 2014. “Damn, my head’s been hurting for three days now,” he wrote in one of his last posts. “Ah f---. I’m a wreck,” he added in another, ultimately his final public statement before he headed to the church, where many of the same families and the same children who had attended the fall fest gathered to pray, where he would commit one of the deadliest

mass shootings in US history. When he reached the church, Kelley began moving rapidly around the exterior in a crouch, like a GI Joe character. For about two minutes he quickly circled the building, firing through its walls, wielding his weapon just below his chest as the horrified worshippers inside began to scream and duck beneath pews as bullets burst through sanctuary windows. Then, for a moment, the shooting stopped. Kelley walked into First Baptist. Then the gunfire started anew. Bryan Holcombe, 60, the church’s associate pastor, had just walked up to the pulpit to begin preaching when he was struck. His wife, Karla, 58, was also hit. By the time the shooting stopped minutes later both of

them, along with six other family members and a pregnant woman’s unborn child, would be dead. Most in the sanctuary tried to hide, and Kelley shot at those who ran. Then he made his way up and down the aisle through the small room, firing into prone bodies. When the children clustered near the front of the sanctuary began to wail, he shot at them. Farida Brown, 73, a member of the church for the past decade, was struck four times in her legs as she lay hiding in the back row. Four shots hit the woman to her right. Brown held her hand, assuring her that it would be over soon, that she was headed to Heaven. Kelley turned his back on the bloody carnage and walked out the front door. - PA

Weinstein beefs up legal team for probe Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has beefed up his legal team, just days after police in New York said they were investigating a “credible” rape allegation against him. Ben Brafman will defend Weinstein in any matters in

New York, a spokesperson for the Miramax co-founder said yesterday, and will be joined by Blair Berk, who was reportedly already working for Weinstein in Los Angeles. Brafman’s clients have included Michael Jackson, Dom-

inique Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the International Monetary Fund, and more recently notorious pharmaceuticals boss Martin Shkreli. But Weinstein’s legal team does not believe that his indictment is “imminent,” his

spokesperson said, despite reports from multiple outlets that he could be indicted in New York as early as next week. “We strongly believe we will demonstrate that no criminal charges are warranted,” the spokesperson said. - PA

The West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin has spoken about the time he refused to write a sex scene for Nicole Kidman. Sorkin said director Harold Becker wanted him to write a racy scene for Kidman and co-star Alec Baldwin when they starred together in the 1993 thriller Malice. “He said, ‘Look, it’s easy, just go back to your hotel and write what you’d like to see Nicole Kidman do.’ I said, ‘Are you out of your mind? I just did a movie with her husband! I’m not going to write down what I’d like to see Nicole do and then hand the pages out to the crew and Nicole’.”

Clarkson under-rated Kelly Clarkson should be a bigger deal. Her voice is soulful and powerful and sounds like all the best qualities of Pink, Beyonce, and Joss Stone’s voices mixed into one. She throws vocal runs and tricks and belts with a ridiculous amount of power and control. She’s one of the best singers in the industry right now, but she’s somehow not up on that pedestal, so why not with her new album Whole Lotta Woman? As far as her vocal talents go, she’s unfaultable. This album has seen her finally step into the realms of soul and R&B which her voice was made to dominate. But she doesn’t quite commit. Verdict: A lesson in vocal talent, but not what it should’ve been.

‘Changes will have little effect’

Acting Reserve Bank governor Grant Spencer. tion to promote more stability in employment, he acknowledged. “But in the current situation the labour market is pretty balanced so I don’t think the dual mandate would make much difference to our policy stance.” While the forecasts were rejigged, Spencer reiterated “monetary policy will remain accommo-

dative for a considerable period. Numerous uncertainties remain and policy may need to adjust accordingly”. According to the central bank “in the current environment, additional stimulus would risk generating unnecessary volatility in the economy, while a premature tightening would risk undermin-

ing growth and could cause headline inflation to settle below the midpoint of the target range”. Spencer said the bank incorporated preliminary estimates of the impact of new government policies in four areas: new government spending; the KiwiBuild programme; tighter visa requirements; and increases in the minimum wage. “The impact of these policies remains very uncertain,” he said. All 16 economists polled by Bloomberg predicted rates would remain unchanged but there had been a debate about whether the bank might alter its forecasts with emerging signs of inflation and a sharply weaker kiwi dollar than the bank expected. The bank’s forecasts show the OCR rising to 1.9 per cent in June 2019, three months earlier than its prior projection. A full rate increase, however, is still signalled in March 2020 when the benchmark rate is forecast to be 2 per cent. Interest rates are also slightly higher at the end of the forecast period, rising to 2.1 per cent in

egory decline came from whole milk powder, New Zealand’s largest product group, which fell 5.5 per cent and is now in line with prices last seen in March. At the moment, the forecast payout from Fonterra is sitting at $6.75 per kg of milksolids. However, after this latest result, which is the third consecutive decline, analysts are beginning to question whether a downgrade is coming. The recent currency will likely provide a tailwind for the payout, however this may not be enough to mitigate these recent declines. There has been plenty of corporate newsflow from the NZ market to keep investors interested this week, with Thursday a particularly busy day. Of those that reported or had annual meetings, Xero’s half year result was probably the one that garnered the most attention. Xero’s share price has had an exceptional run this year with operational metrics improving and subscription numbers contining to grow. The half year result proved that they were on track to reach this goal, and was in line with expectations. However, the positive news was overshadowed by the company’s decision to delist from the NZX to consolidate its listing on the ASX. The company will remain domiciled in NZ and

its headquarters will remain in Wellington. Looking overseas, this week markets celebrated or lamented, 12 months of Trump. It has been a year now since the US presidential election and this gave an opportunity for many to reflect how the US is getting on. The US share market is having an exceptional run, with all three of the main indexes hitting record highs again this week. In addition to this, they have hit a record number of highs, and a record number of highs set on the same day. The US dollar is beginning to recover now although it is much lower than where it was when Trump took the reins. However, the President’s approval rating is at an all-time low and a larger number of Americans than ever before feel the country is divided on key values. A number of key campaign promises are yet to come to fruition although the tax reform legislation is making significant progress. However, the repeal and replacement of Obamacare has still not occurred. Social media has dominated the President’s term to date and since being elected, he has increased his twitter following by more than 29 million, or slightly more than the population of Ghana. We have another two years of Trump to come before the 2019 Presidential race. Is it enough time for him to “make America great again”?

A tough month for NZX50 he first week or so of November has been tough for the NZX50 and so far, seems to be as negative as October was positive. The local index has been dragged lower by declines from some of the top performers for the year to date. The NZ dollar on the other hand has seen a bit of a rebound, putting added pressure on exporters. One of the biggest events on the local calendar was the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s Official Cash Rate (OCR) decision and Monetary Policy Statement. This was the first meeting for the RBNZ since the formation of the new Government and was expected to include some changes to economic forecasts. The OCR remained on hold at the historic low of 1.75 per cent while the rhetoric confirmed that monetary policy would remain accommodative for some time yet. The RBNZ doesn’t expect to raise the OCR until mid 2019. Quarterly GDP growth is expected to peak in the first quarter of next year at 1.2 per cent before moderating to 0.7-0.8 per cent growth. Quarterly inflation is also expected to increase in the first quarter of 2017, while the Trade Weighted Index (TWI), an exchange rate measure, is expected to remain stable at current levels. While this information from the RBNZ was welcomed by the market, the latest Global Dairy Trade auction was not. The average price dropped 3.5 per cent, its biggest decline since March of this year. A decline of this magnitude was not expected, as the dairy futures market was looking for a reasonably flat result. The biggest cat-

June 2020 versus a prior forecast of 2 per cent. The key rate is seen at 2.3 per cent in December 2020. “The RBNZ’s forecast see – at the margin – a touch more risk of an earlier start to OCR increases, but fundamentally still a core view that the OCR is likely to remain on hold until around late 2019,” said ASB chief economist Nick Tuffley. The bank was more aggressive regarding changes to its inflation and currency forecasts. Spencer noted that annual CPI inflation was 1.9 per cent in September but reiterated that “underlying inflation remains subdued”. However, he no longer said that headline inflation is expected to decline in coming quarters. The central bank lifted its forecast for inflation for the next two quarters, predicting annual consumer price index inflation of 1.8 per cent in the December quarter and 1.5 per cent in March 2018 quarter versus a prior forecast of 1.3 per cent and 0.7 per cent. - NZME

Acting Reserve Bank governor Grant Spencer says proposed Government changes would have little effect on the Bank’s thinking in current economic conditions. Spencer kept the official cash rate unchanged at 1.75 per cent yesterday but brought forward a potential rate hike to June 2019 from September that year. The bank also lifted its inflation forecasts to factor in the impact of new government policies and a weaker currency. The dollar rose on the news. At yesterday’s press conference Spencer also directly addressed the Government’s review of the Reserve Bank which will see employment added to inflation as an area for specific focus. “Moving to a dual mandate is unlikely to have impact on the way we run monetary policy,” Spencer said. Currently inflation was the Bank’s primary objective but was not the sole objective, he said. A dual mandate might mean the approach became more flexible in allowing greater volatility in infla-

Kona daringly different K ona signals the arrival of a new generation of Hyundai SUV’s. A generation that refuses to be bound to a singular way of

thinking. Because let’s face it, one size doesn’t always fit all, and that’s what makes the Kona so different. The all-new Hyundai Kona is the small SUV with everything you need to boldly go where only Intrepids dare. It’s distinctive in design, powerful in performance, and the perfect size to help you conquer the city streets. In fact, we think it pretty much ticks all the boxes for tackling any urban adventure. It’s sleek, easy on the eye, well connected, and with over 17 colour combinations, you’ll be able to style it just the way you like it. It’s been perfectly designed for your lifestyle with a daring look and equally dynamic interior, this compact SUV will take you from narrow city laneways to winding suburban streets, and will turn heads while doing it. It’s a compact SUV, but sit inside and the Kona soon reveals its spacious self. The Kona has far more room than you’d expect – from the generous boot, to the 60/40 folding rear seats, you’ll always have space when you need it. Thanks to its advanced safety features, the Kona your back, no matter where you

take it. From it’s reserving camera to its advanced suite of Hyundai SmartSense safety features explore in confidence from dawn missions to late night exploring.

All New Kona Available Now Hyundai Mid Canterbury 91 Archibald Street, Tinwald, Ashburton, 03 307 2415 | www.southcanterburyhyundai.co.nz

It’s well-appointed too, with a premium interior including a 7-inch touchscreen that features Apple Carplay and Android Auto. Kona also delivers up 130 kW of power and optional All Wheel Drive ability that

will get you where you’re going with a smile on your face. You write your own rules, and you go where you want to go. You’re the driver of your life. Drive Kona.

Relaxed, and responsive A

s I started to write this story long time local resident, but now Wellingtonian Di Warring arrived in a new Hyundai Tucson rental. Now Di, in recent years has driven, and commented on a wide range of vehicles both in New Zealand and off-shore. So it was interesting when she was quick to say she how highly she rated both the driving position and seat comfort of this latest Tucson, which of course being a rental, was the entry level model. That echoed my thoughts entirely after my time driving the new neat looking, rather Golf-esque i30, whose wide stance, low nose and nice lines combine to give a distinctive, desirable on-road presence. As well it exudes both inside and out, the feel of having been designed in Europe. Hyundai have been busy releasing new models in the compact car and SUV market segment with this i30 and the Kona. Both are of a similar size as well as sharing similar engines and gearboxes. There’s of course a range of models for both and those in the i30 range include a well equipped 2-litre $35,990 entry GDi model and the more luxurious $39,990 Elite as driven. As well there’s an even better fitted out and sportier Limited, with a 1.6-litre turbo which develops 150kW and 265Nm of torque. It has a seven speed dual-clutch auto and costs $43,990. Not that there’s anything wanting with what the non-turbo 2-litre, direct injection four of the Elite (and GDi) delivers. That’s a decent 120 kW at 6200 rpm and

203 Nm of torque at 4,700 rpm, which its intuitive, smooth changing six-speed auto makes very good use of. This means the Elite is both quick away from standing starts (0-100kmh in less than 9 seconds) and responds in a reassuringly eager manner when overtaking, then while at open road cruise, is quiet and relaxed. As well, over the some 500km driven, the claimed overall economy figure of 7.4L/100 km seemed pretty realistic, even when using the auto’s manual mode on the hilly and winding road section of my test course, where the car felt very much at home. For in addition to the power on hand, the well weighted (but not so informative) electric steering and the tuning/modifications to the McPherson strut front/torsion beam rear suspension for Anzac road conditions showed. It will be appreciated by those who may be keen to indulge in a little enthusiastic, sure-footed driving with a suitably comfortable, settled ride. Even more so I imagine with the 1.6-litre turbo Limited version, for it has a multilink rear suspension and even wider rubber on its 18-inch alloys. Oh yes, back to the cabin. This proved to be nicely spacious and welcoming, with the combination of tasteful styling and thoughtful design of its leather furnished interior. I have already favourably mentioned the drivers position/seat, and the navigator expressed similar thoughts. We liked the large 8.0-inch touchscreen

display that takes care of infotainment selection duties including the sat-nav. Whilst not riding in the back seat seat, sitting therein showed sufficient leg, shoulder space and headroom for my 177cm frame. There’s rear air-vents and cup-holders in the centre armrest. Luggage wise, you can stash a decent 395 litres, and loading through the largish hatch is easy. There’s a standard Hyundai cargo net, fire-extinguisher and safety vest with a spare wheel below. Should more space be needed, the rear seat split/folds 60:40 to increase the carrying capacity to 1300 litres. Safety-wise all i30s are ANCAP 5-star rated and have seven air bags, stability control, reversing camera, blind spot detection, lane change assist, parking sensors and reversing camera. As well, the brakes are strong and progressive. However Limited models only have the latest active safety stuff such as autonomous emergency braking , driver attention alert, lane keep assist and smart cruise control system.

Price as driven: $39,990. Others from $35,990 to $43,990. All plus ORCs. Engine: 2-litre 4-cylinder petrol, 120kW @ 6200rpm/203Nm @4700rpm. Transmission: 6-speed auto, front wheel drive. Economy: 7.4L/100Km Turning Circle: 10.6 metres. Safety: ANCAP 5 star. Warranty: 3 years/100,000ks and 3-year roadside assist.

FINALE So this good-looking, easy to drive and live with i30 through its neat size, decent performance, agility, spacious cabin and good luggage space shows that there are other options in life to compact SUVs! But if its the SUV thing that ticks the right boxes for you, then the even more distinctive, yet equally good-looking Kona may well do the trick for you, especially as the 2-litre 2WD kicks off at $31,990 plus ORCs. And with a 1.6-litre,130kw/265Nm turbo version of this with 7 speed twin-clutch gearbox arriving soon!

The next-gen Commodore A

head of its New Zealand launch early next year, the Opel Insignia – which will be the next-generation Commodore – has been shortlist by global automotive press for the 2018 World Car of the Year awards. Developed hand-in-hand with the next-generation Commodore, the Opel Insignia has received rave reviews in Europe since its introduction earlier in 2017. Drivers have cooed over its styling, praised its hightech features including wireless charging and a 360-degree camera, and enjoyed its effortless performance. And now, it’s all been recognised on the biggest of stages. “The World Car of the Year awards is judged by automotive journalists from Asia, Europe, and North America. “That Insignia has been shortlisted is a testament to the hard work the team in Europe and Australia have put into the vehicle,” said Holden Australia’s executive director, Michael Filazzola. “We’ve shown a handful of local automotive journalists and customers the next-gen Commodore already and the reaction echoes the sentiments of the World Car Awards judges – it’s a cracker!” “The World Car of the Year shortlisting shows the next-gen Commodore is based on an already exceptional vehicle,” said Holden’s Vehicle Performance Manager, Jeremy Tassone. “We’ve been working on the car for a while now to make it even better for Australian roads and by the time it lands in the hands of our customers, we’re confident it will demonstrate all of the great driving and technology characteristics Commodore has built its name on.” The all-new Holden Commodore is expected to arrive in New Zealand dealerships from April 2018.

eathermen and weatherladies sometimes use the Fujita scale to describe storm levels. The highest point on the Fujita scale is F5, which refers to wind speeds of between 261mph and 318mph. Why do you need to know this? Because it explains the Venom F5 name chosen by American fast car specialists Hennessey for their latest madness machine. How mad is it? Well, it has a claimed top speed of 482km/h-plus (300mph). All this from a road-legal car with number plates and indicators. Reaching speeds of 482km/h sounds like a task requiring a length of tarmac normally used by returning space shuttles, but that’s not quite the case here. Texan firm Hennessey claims that this latest creation will blaze from zero to 300km/h in under 10 seconds. Launched at the SEMA show that’s presently running in Las Vegas, the Venom F5 has been three years in the making, after being teased in 2014. Back then Hennessey was only claiming that it would exceed the frankly feeble 434km/h that had already been achieved by its then-current GT. So, how is the F5 now good for 482km/h? Well, as you might expect, it’s down to power (as much as possible) and weight

(as little as possible). In this case, the power comes from a twin-turbocharged V8 generating more than 1193kW (1600bhp). Don’t doubt that number either. This company has a long history of hitting its claimed power figures. That thunderous powerplant sits in an in-house-developed carbonfibre low-drag body weighing in at a Ford Fiesta-rivalling 1338kg. A paddle-shift, single-clutch sevenspeed transmission puts all the power through the rear wheels – let’s hope it’s a strong gearbox to rein that incredible grunt, and it will need fairly special tyres to plant all those horses into the road, too. Hennessey hasn’t flagged up a 0-100km/h time yet, but given the claimed 0-300km/h time and the company’s confidence in its ability to smash the 0-to-400to-0kph record briefly held by Bugatti’s Chiron (under 42 seconds) and now by Koenigsegg at 36.44 seconds, it’s going to be a very small number. Hennessey is talking about under 30 seconds for the standstill-to-400km/h-tostandstill time, which would be eyeballlooseningly quick. Get your order in just as quickly as only 24 F5s will be made, at US1.6 million ($NZ2.32 million) each. Considering the new Bugatti Chiron costs twice that, this Hennessey looks like a performance bargain in comparison.

Famous Fiat

7

T

he oldest Fiat in the UK, the 1899 Fiat 3½hp, took to the roads on Sunday as part of the annual London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. One of the earliest surviving Fiats in the world, the 3½hp took part in the event’s 60-mile drive, from Hyde Park in London down to Madeira Drive in Brighton, as part of the notorious heritage trial. Owned by FCA UK Ltd, and on permanent display at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, this Fiat 3½hp can seat two adults in comfort, plus two children facing the driver, in a vis-à-vis layout. With a horizontal two-cylinder engine producing 697cc and a three-speed (no reverse) gearbox, it can reach a top speed of 21mph while returning a very respectable 35mpg. This year marks 121 years since the inaugural London to Brighton run which celebrated the passing of the Locomotives on the Highways Act. This saw the abolition of the need for a motorised vehicle to be led by a red flag carrying man and raising the speed limit from 4mph to 14mph. Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino (FIAT) was founded by a group of Turin investors in July 1899 and began assembling cars in a temporary factory. The new founded company absorbed two smaller businesses, including a bicycle manufacturer which had a prototype car, called the ‘Welleyes’. The first dozen or so cars manufactured by Fiat in 1899 were derived from this prototype. A new purpose built factory started producing cars from March 1900 and from this Fiat grew to be an industrial giant and one of the world’s largest motor manufacturers.

In brief

■ RICCARTON

Trainer spoilt for choice With three in-form runners in tomorrow’s Group One feature at Riccarton, Jamie Richards is finding it mission impossible to tip the stable’s leading prospect. With training partner Stephen Autridge, the Matamata horseman will be represented by Embellish, Te Akau Shark and Age Of Fire in the Al Basti Equiworld New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m). “It’s very, very hard to split them,” Richards said. “They have all done nothing wrong and they are all fit and happy and working well.” The Savabeel colt Embellish is the pre-post favourite after consecutive wins at Ruakaka and Trentham, beating race rival Ever Loyal the first time and downing the older horses at his latest appearance. He will be ridden on Saturday by Opie Bosson. “I know that Opie just loves Embellish and the horse isn’t a brilliant trackworker, but he is up to the mark,” Richards said. Te Akau Shark is yet to be tested with an unbeaten record after wins at Te Rapa and Matamata. “He’s still quite new and having his third start in a Group One, but he deserves his place,” Richards said. The son of Rip Van Winkle will be partnered by Michael McNab, while Matt Cameron has the ride on Fastnet Rock’s son Age Of Fire. “Age Of Fire is probably the smokie in the race and he will love the mile at Riccarton being out of a Galileo mare,” Richards said. “We’re sure they will all run very well. They are lightly-tried horses and Embellish was the only one to run at two so they are still yet to peak.” Meanwhile Cambridge trainer Shaune Ritchie is confident he

First win ‘awesome’ Apprentice Alex Shin celebrated his first winner yesterday. The 22year-old’s special moment came at his 10th race day ride when he guided The Great Guru to victory in the Vets on Riverbank Handicap (2200m) at Otaki. “I’m working as hard as I can and that was awesome,” he said. Shin spent time with Chad Ormsby before joining Roydon Bergerson’s stable. - NZME

Promising youngster A filly from the family of the mighty Makybe Diva made a perfect debut at Otaki yesterday. A trial winner, the Burgundy two-year-old Pinot Grey made all the running in the Mills Reef Winery 2YO (1000m) and cruised clear in the run home for rider Cameron Lammas. Trained by Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards, she was a $145,000 purchase out of Cambridge Stud’s draft at Karaka earlier this year. He suggested Pinot Grey could soon be seen in a stakes race on her way to the Listed Karaka Million in January next year. - NZME

Junior gets top drive

Embellish with Opie Bosson aboard in winning form ahead of tomorrow’s Riccarton engagement. has progressive stayer Bee Tee Junior on target for his assault on a Christchurch Cup Week double. The lightly raced six-year-old has the Christchurch Casino New Zealand Cup (3200m) as his main target next week, but Ritchie warns he will be equally competitive in tomorrow’s Listed Redwood Metropolitan Trophy Handicap (2500m), the traditional lead-up event to the Cup. “He’s travelled down well and I’m expecting a good performance from him on the weekend,” he said. “He’s not as well off in the weights this week, but it’s not

a big field and he will love the 2500m distance of the race. “At his last start he simply fell asleep at the back of the field and lobbed along without a care in the world until he was asked for his effort. He switched on nicely and showed a sharp turn of foot and that’s what I will be looking for this time as well. “He appeals as the type to appreciate the big Riccarton track, although my only concern is that it doesn’t get too hard underfoot on the day. “He can handle it on top of the ground, but you wouldn’t want to see them have to race on a really

firm track two weeks in a row as that could pose a problem.” Ritchie had planned on having a two-pronged attack on Saturday’s contest, however stablemate Where Are You endured a tough trip south and will need a couple of easy days to recover. “With the terrible wind her flight got buffeted around and she got down and scraped a knee,” he said. “She was a little worse for wear coming off the plane which meant we had no option but to miss the race. She will be right to start on the last day of the carnival.” - NZME

■ CUP TRIAL

Purdon rapt with final NZ Cup hit-out Lazarus, the dominating $1.30 favourite for Tuesday’s $800,000 Christchurch Casino New Zealand Trotting Cup, beat only stablemate Waikiki Beach home in Wednesday’s Cup trial at Addington. But co-trainer and driver Mark Purdon was rapt with his final hit-out. “He was only here for a run,” Purdon said. Unhurried early, settling last of the six, Lazarus was timed over his last 2400m in 2:59 and his final 800m in 54secs by Purdon, only coming off the back of Waikiki Beach over the final 150 metres and going to the wire on a nice rein. Lazarus and Purdon, after a 10-length beating of their NZ Cup rivals 12 months ago in record time, appear to have Tuesday’s Cup at their mercy again. Rival driver Zach Butcher, who

Ashburton Guardian 23

won Thursday’s Cup trial with last season’s upset Harness Jewels 4YO Emerald winner Jack’s Legend, has the utmost respect for Lazarus. “Jack’s Legend went really good (in the trial). He stepped good and is getting better and better in that regard. “He can really step when he gets it right,” Butcher said. “We only have to worry about Lazarus on Tuesday now,” he said with a wry grin. The Barry Purdon-trained Jack’s Legend, from three back on the markers, finished powerfully on the sprint lane to win by going away by a length in 3:18.2 (2600m) from his stablemate Hug The Wind (Brent Mangos). The latter, who contests the Home & Family Living Springs (Junior) Free-For-All on Tuesday, led up but bowed to his younger stablemate out over the leaders’

last 800m in 55.2secs and final 400m in 27.9secs. Seel The Deal, who settled fourth ran on for third ahead of Buster Brady, who trailed. Belles Son, catch driven by Tim Williams for trainer Kevin Chapman, finished stoutly to take out the free-for-all trot trial in a fourway finish. The younger half-brother to Stent held by a nose from late closer Great Things Happen, with front-running Ayra, now officially with Woodend Beach trainer Regan Todd, a head back third. Doctor Bones, left in the open, was a close-up fourth a nose back, ahead of Harriet Of Mot (handy outer). Ex-All Stars trotter Prince Fearless, now with Aylesbury trainer Stephen Boyd, angled out from three back on the markers turning for home but then went into

a full-stretch gallop, while Destiny Jones and Daryl Boko broke stride early in the trial. Chapman’s former NZ Derby pacing winner Locharburn also shaped well in his heat, hitting the line strongly late for third to Seaswift Joy in the rating 43 and faster pace, won in 3:21.3 (2600m stand). NZ record-holder The Dorchester, who missed a start in the final NRM Sires Stakes Heat last Friday with a cut tongue, was cleared by Chief stipendiary steward Nick Ydgren. The Mitchell Kerr-trained pacer settled back for driver Matt Anderson but rounded up the leaders in style to win going away by 1 1/4 lengths in a 2:00.7 rate (1950m). “He had a five-day compulsory stand down period after cutting his tongue but is good to start on Tuesday,” said Ydgren. - NZHN

Cambridge junior driver Benjamin Butcher is on cloud nine after being rewarded with the biggest drive of his fledgling career to date. He will partner the Steve Telfer-trained American Brave in the Gr.1 $170,000 Sire Stakes Series Final at Addington on Tuesday, New Zealand Cup day. The prospect of having his first Group 1 drive, amongst New Zealand’s elite horsemen, in front of a crowd expected to number more than 20,000 is an exciting one. - NZHN

Odeon on back-up Odeon will bid to give his Inglewood Stud-based sire Zacinto his first Australian Group One winner on Saturday. The four-year-old will be on a quick back-up at Flemington into the $2 million Emirates Stakes following his impressive win in Tuesday’s Listed James Boag’s Premium Stakes (1800m). Odeon was bred by Kevin Hickman, who shares in the ownership of Zacinto and is also a major shareholder in Ugo Foscolo, the stallion’s first Group One winner. - NZME

Fully Funded ready Quality sprinter Fully Funded is in good heart to kick off a Group One campaign. The multiple winner has trialled twice ahead of resuming in the Listed Haunui Farm Counties Bowl (1100m) at Pukekohe Park on November 25. “That’s where he’ll start, all going well, and he’s really looking good,” trainer Joanne Surgenor said. Fully Funded hasn’t raced since he was successful at Ruakaka in June and, following a break, he won his latest 1000m trial at Te Aroha. - NZME

Ever Loyal sold Leading Group One prospect Ever Loyal has changed hands ahead of tomorrow’s classic at Riccarton. The third favourite for the Al Basti Equiworld New Zealand Guineas has been purchased by Rob Ferguson, a successful Australian breeder and owner and formerly a partowner of Magic Millions. “There was a lot of interest from Asia, but we’ve managed to do a deal and keep him here,” said Waikato Bloodstock’s Bryce Tankard. - NZME

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Kiwis seek composure By angelo Risso With 43 New Zealand test caps to his name, Simon Mannering has witnessed the highest of highs and lowest of lows in the black jumper. And the stalwart back-rower believes a common thread runs through the side’s greatest blunders since his 2006 debut – emotional over-investment. “I think that’s where Kiwis teams in the past have got in trouble, when their emotions got involved, allegiances split and what-not,” Mannering said. “That’s probably where we’ve fallen into the trap.” The defection of star North Queensland lock Jason Taumalolo – as well as David Fusitu’a, Manu Ma’u and Sio Siua Taukeiaho – to Tonga has overshadowed much of the Kiwis’ Rugby League World Cup tilt, despite first-up wins over Samoa and Scotland. In response, coach David Kidwell has attempted to keep his troops as emotionally detached as possible, focused on their own self-improvement. And with the rampaging Taumalolo set to face them head-on in tomorrow’s Pool B decider in Hamilton, they haven’t veered too far from the script. Mannering said he and his team-mates had no intention to unleash hell on their ex-teammate and wouldn’t use his presence as a motivational tool. They’d simply look for a com-

Wade Graham has hailed coach Brad Fittler as Lebanon’s X-factor as the Cedars look to rattle Australia’s cage ahead of the Rugby League World Cup knockout stages. Australia are 2-0 and top group A, while Lebanon will likely also advance to the quarter-finals even with a loss to the Kangaroos on Saturday night. Led by Robbie Farah, Mitchell Moses and Michael Lichaa, Lebanon have been the tournament’s big improvers in what is their first World Cup appearance since 2000. - AAP Simon Mannering thinks Tonga will present the toughest challenge yet for the Kiwis. posed, disciplined performance. “All that, players choosing teams ahead of others, that’s all in the past and we’ve all moved on as a group. “We’ve got a job to do for our country,” Mannering said. “The opposition, you definitely look at them a little bit in the sense of what they’re doing in the tournament. “But, we’re all familiar with their personnel and what they do in a game, so we just try and

focus on ourselves, build as a group.” The test shapes as a crucial one for both camps, with victory securing top spot in the pool and almost certainly evading Australia until the Cup final. Mannering, joining Joseph Tapine in the second row after missing last week’s 74-6 thrashing of Scotland, admitted Tonga would provide a genuine test. No tier-two nation has defeated a tier-one country.

“This is going to be our toughest challenge yet, no disrespect to previous opposition. “It’s going to be good,” the 31-year-old Mannering said yesterday. “A good challenge for our group, to know where we’re at. “It’s probably harder for people outside the game to understand, but it is just a game. “It’s not sworn enemies or whatever; you just get out there and play.” - NZME

sparked her remarkable rugby league career. Sims added to her already impressive resume when named Jillaroos co-captain for the women’s Rugby League World Cup along with retiring duo Steph Hancock and Renae Kunst.

Australia face a mighty challenge attempting to defend their crown in the tournament starting on November 16 in Cronulla, with three-time winners New Zealand, traditional powerhouse England and dark horses Canada standing in their way.

But it is nothing compared to what Sims saw growing up. “My parents were great building that healthy rivalry between us with our backyard games,” Sims said. “That really helped give us that drive to be where we are today. - AAP

■ OPINION

League World Cup a bit of an embarrassment By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

W

hy do we have a Rugby League World Cup? Now this might seem like a bit of a silly question, but to me so far, it only seems to have created trouble and pointless matches that don’t seem overly worth watching. I’ve already written some words about how ridiculous it is that players can just up and leave their team to play for another right before the start of the tournament, just like half of Tonga’s squad, so let’s move on to other things that have baffled me. Firstly, the level of competitiveness.

England winger Jermaine McGillvary sensationally beat a biting charge in a World Cup shock that will leave Wayne Bennett’s Poms hungrier than ever to win the tournament. Few expected the 29year-old flyer to play the remainder of the Cup after an angry Robbie Farah erupted during England’s win over Lebanon and claimed he was bitten. But the judiciary panel needed just a few minutes to clear McGillvary who declared the biting allegations against him as “outrageous”. - NZME

Bite charge dismissed

Now coming from it as mainly a football fan, I am used to a world cup meaning the best of the best, and all the games being extremely close. All I have seen with the League World Cup however is whitewash after whitewash. In the first two rounds, there have been seven games that have finished with a winning margin of 40 points or more, which is just absurd. Surely it isn’t right, to label this the “World” Cup, when only four or five nations are proving to be competitive. Essentially, it is just the four nations with the island teams thrown in to make things a bit more exciting, but having teams

like the USA and Lebanon just seem to be a waste of time to be honest. Those are just the on-field things for a start. Off-field, Scotland had to leave three players in Christchurch, including their captain, because they had got on the sauce after getting spanked by the Kiwis.

Italian players have been king-hitting each other, while in the lead-up to the clash between Tonga and Samoa, there were brawls in the street and a large number of arrests (obviously not the players’ doing, and they came out and condemned what was happening, as they should). Nothing ever seems to be going right for rugby league, and when the World Cup started, I thought we might get a break from the constant scandal that occupies the NRL, but it seems not. League is a sport I want to love, it is fast-paced and exciting, but it does leave a bad taste in the mouth.

Trbojevic eyes No. 1 Tom Trbojevic is attempting to find his voice under the tutelage of Billy Slater as he dreams of inheriting the coveted Australian No.1 jumper. After making his Kangaroos debut in last week’s Rugby League World Cup group win over France, Trbojevic will again get a chance to impress coach Mal Meninga tomorrow night. The 21-year-old harbours a desire to wear the green and gold No.1. Trbojevic has so far spent his first Australian camp trying to learn from Billy Slater, who he considers the greatest fullback of all time. - AAP

Stars back for England England coach Wayne Bennett is confident stars Sam Burgess and Johnny Lomax will be fit to return in next week’s Rugby League World Cup quarter-final showdown. Burgess injured his knee in his side’s tournamentopening loss to Australia, while first-choice fullback Lomax picked up a calf injury at training. Both will miss Sunday’s pool game against France in Perth. England are all but guaranteed a spot in the quarter-finals, and Bennett says both Burgess and Lomax will return for that fixture. - AAP

Tonga chasing big upset Tonga’s rugby league team are embracing the challenge as they chase the biggest upset in World Cup history when they face New Zealand in Hamilton tomorrow. No tier two nation has ever defeated a tier one team at the competition, but Tongan hooker Sione Katoa believes they have what it takes to succeed. “We’re just worried about ourselves, as we know the Kiwis are going to come out firing,” he said. “It’s just a case of treating it like every other match, because if you go in trying to change your game plan that’s when you start to make errors. For us we’ve got to keep it simple and focus on what we do best and the points will come.” The Panthers star admits they’re going to have to keep the intensity up for the entire match to have any chance of winning. - AAP

In brief Aumua in elite club Asafo Aumua has now joined a select group of individuals who have played for the All Blacks before they have featured in Super Rugby. Other members of this group include Jerome Kaino, Isaia Toeava, Jason Eaton, Saimone Taumoepeau and but for injury, Luke McAlister would have toured Europe with the 2004 All Blacks before being picked by the Blues in 2005. But with the exception of Kaino, there is a thread that binds these early bloomers – which is none pushed on to fulfil their potential. - NZME

Maori make changes Two debutants have been named amid four changes to the run-on Maori side to meet the French Barbarians in Bordeaux this weekend. Lock Keepa Mewett and openside flanker Sam Henwood will don the black jersey for the first time, while Jackson Garden-Bachop replaces Ihaia West at first-five and Shaun Stevenson is in for Ambrose Curtis on the left wing. Halfback Jonathan Ruru and midfielder Teihorangi Weldon will likely make their debuts off the bench. Coach Clayton McMillan says he has picked a bigger side than the one which downed Canada 51-9. - NZME

■ RUGBY

Season hinged on one game By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Despite having the Lochore Cup locked away after a long season, there is still the feeling of what could have been for the Mid Canterbury Hammers. When it comes to low points for the season gone, Hammers co-coach Craig Dunlea found it hard to look past the loss to Buller, played in miserable conditions at the Ashburton Showgrounds. “It always goes back to the Buller game. “To play so well and dominate them in the first half and then to go on to lose,” he said. “That cost a place in the Meads Cup and I think we would’ve gone on to win that.” While they might not have ended up with the trophy they wanted, Dunlea said it was still an achievement to win a piece of New Zealand rugby’s prestigious silverware. The start to the Heartland Championship was a rocky one for the Hammers, who were coming off a heavy defeat in their Ranfurly Shield challenge against Canterbury. They started with a good win against Poverty Bay, but they were not a side that would test

“

You can’t complain when you have got the first and second top try-scorers in your team

the Hammers like their next two opponents. They suffered back to back losses against North Otago and South Canterbury, and their season looked to be in serious danger of collapsing there and then. “It really was do-or-die and we had our backs against the wall. “It was a bit of a reality check and we had an honesty chat with the boys and I think that was when they started to see what we were trying to do with the team,” Dunlea said. The next game they travelled to the North Island to take on Wairarapa Bush, and that was when things started to click. “There was a lot of new stuff and it was getting them to understand that, and when it finally happened they were playing some really good footy,” he said. From that point the team lineup changed due to illness, and the team that would eventu-

ally win the Lochore Cup was set from there. Players’ player of the year and the competition’s second highest points scorer Jarred Percival moved to first-five from fullback, while the competition’s top tryscorer, Maleli Sau, moved to fullback from the wing. “It was good, JP (Percival), went really well and was always attacking and finding space which really made the opposition have to defend, and Maleli got more involved and caused a lot of damage,” Dunlea said. The change also allowed Willie McGoon to return to the team after a couple of years’ absence. “We looked at him at the end of the club season and he wasn’t even meant to be playing rugby after his operation. “But he did everything he needed to do, worked with the A team and was the first to every training,” he said.

“You can’t complain when you have got the first and second top try-scorers in your team.” Bar the slip-up against Buller, the Hammers finished the season in dominant fashion, dispatching the West Coast in the Lochore Cup final 47-15, despite playing with only 14 men. Eric Duff won the Mid Canterbury Rugby award for Heartland Player of the Year, while Seta Koroitamana won forward of the year. Percival, on top of the players’ player award, also collected the back of the year award. Not an official award, Dunlea highlighted lock Angus Lindsay as the team’s most improved player. “I thought he was absolutely brilliant this season. “We gave him some work-ons at the end of the season and he went away and did them and it has really helped his game,” Dunlea. Despite locking away the first silverware for the union since 2014, Dunlea and James Jowsey were only appointed seasonby-season, with the union now currently advertising the position, and Dunlea saying he is not quite sure what will be happening next season.

The Rugby Football Union will make a goodwill payment of PS75,000 ($147,000) to the Samoan Rugby Union after the association was declared bankrupt ahead of internationals against Scotland and England. Scotland are set to host the Pacific Islanders tomorrow before Samoa face England at Twickenham on November 25. Samoa prime minister Tuilaepa Malielegaoi, who is also chairman of the SRU, said that the governing body was “insolvent”, with the union unable to pay off debts or fund player wages. - PA

Examination for France The rebuilding of French rugby begins this week as far as national coach Guy Noves is concerned, with a three-pronged New Zealand showdown providing the perfect platform. Noves is earning his money, preparing a giant group of players while taking stock of an uncanny number of injuries to strike his first-choice test personnel. On Friday a group of the country’s best young professionals in the guise of the French Barbarians take on the Maori All Blacks in Toulouse. One day later is the All Blacks-France Test in Paris before a clash on Tuesday in Lyon, again involving the All Blacks. - NZME

Aussies want clean sweep The Wallabies haven’t enjoyed a Spring Tour clean sweep since 1996 but the bigger picture for Michael Cheika is the 2019 World Cup in Japan. A first win over Eddie Jones’ England since 2015 would be another huge step. Lauded as the best attacking team in the world by Wales’ defence coach Shaun Edwards they’ll need to show they can cope without Israel Folau. 63 points against Japan last week is a sure sign they can. Skipper Mike Hooper bemoaned the fact Japan chalked up 30 points against the Wallabies last week. - AAP

In brief

■ FOOTBALL

Hudson plays lone hand By Michael Burgess Mystery surrounds the All Whites’ setup this week, with two of coach Anthony Hudson’s regular assistants not in Wellington for the FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Peru. Peter Taylor and Alex Armstrong have yet to be sighted in the capital, and it’s believed they won’t be part of the intercontinental playoff matches. Taylor was brought on board in September 2016, ahead of the All Whites’ tour of the United States and Mexico. The 64-year offered vast experience. He has managed 11 English league clubs (including Crystal Palace, Bradford, Brighton and Hull and Leicester City), had two stints as England under-21 coach, took charge of the Three Lions for one match after Kevin Keegan’s resignation and preceded Hudson as national coach for Bahrain. “He will give me another viewpoint on things and also equally he’s someone I can really trust,” Hudson said last year. “You don’t want people the same as you, you want a different viewpoint, you need different experience and you need a different voice.” At the time of his appointment, Taylor replaced Armstrong, who had been with the team since September 2014. Aside from the North America tour, Taylor was also involved in the Fiji World Cup qualification matches last March and was also charged with monitoring the form and fitness of the Europebased players. Armstrong, after resigning suddenly in September 2016, returned in March and went on to assist with the team at the 2017 Confederations Cup campaign.

A major study assessing whether soccer players are at greater risk of degenerative brain disease is ready to be launched as concerns grow about dementia in former players. After an eight-month evaluation period, A research group will be appointed in the next few weeks to take on the most comprehensive study of its kind, jointly commissioned by the Football Association and Professional Footballers’ Association. Former England captain Alan Shearer has expressed his concern about the effects heading a ball during his career may have on his long-term health and questioned whether enough had been done by governing bodies to protect players. - PA

Phoenix re-sign Smith Keegan Smith has been rewarded for a promising start between the posts for the Wellington Phoenix, earning a three-year contract with the A-League club. The 18-year-old goalkeeper, who came through the Phoenix academy, has surprised even himself with his quick rise into the pro ranks. “It’s been a whirlwind but I’m just grateful to the coaches and the older boys in the team, they’ve really been fantastic, giving me little bits of advice,” Smith, the youngest ‘keeper in the A-League, says. - NZME

Record revenue for City All Whites coach Anthony Hudson has his team ready to face Peru. Hudson is being assisted in Wellington by New Zealand Under-20 coach Darren Bazeley and goalkeeping coach Paul Gothard. “That’s over to the gaffer and he picks and chooses his staff,” said All Whites defender Tommy Smith yesterday, when asked about the absence of Taylor. “That’s not something we concern ourselves too much with. “We are just concentrating as players on being in the best shape possible for the match.” The All Whites completed an-

other closed training session yesterday afternoon, as they continue their buildup to Saturday’s big clash. “There’s no two ways about it – we’ve got more than enough to cause them problems,” Smith said, “but we want to keep those cards close to our chest,” he said. Smith said the All Whites’ chances had been boosted by having Burnley striker Chris Wood and skipper Winston Reid. “It’s great for us to have a full-strength squad, which we

haven’t had for a long time. “We’re quietly confident that we can go and cause an upset,” he said. Although it has been some time since he played alongside Reid, Smith says there’ve been no problems with the West Ham defender slotting sweetly into the back four. “A player as good as Winston is always going to slide straight back in. “We know how good he is and how strong he is for us.” - NZME

All Whites’ superfans gear up for Cup clash If anyone has a reason to be optimistic about the All Whites’ chances against Peru in this weekend’s FIFA World Cup intercontinental play-off qualifier, it would have to be superfan Matt Fejos. Based in Liverpool, Fejos has returned to his hometown to watch Anthony Hudson’s men challenge the might of the world’s tenth-best team for a spot in next year’s World Cup in Wellington tomorrow. He is not alone in his first trip back to these shores in two-anda-half years. He will lead 220 fellow die-hard All Whites supporters that go by the name of The Flying Kiwis. The fan club is self-labelled as “the most extreme away fans in the world” on their website – a big claim to make in the most widely followed sport on the planet. However, it would require a lot

The Flying Kiwis showing their support for the All Whites. of time, passion and commitment from a different set of fans to deny The Flying Kiwis of such a crown. Since the formation of the club in 2009, Fejos and his troops have travelled far and wide to get a glimpse of their team in action as they continually fight for a spot in football’s blue ribbon event.

Highlights have included the inter-continental play-off against Bahrain in Wellington eight years ago, the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and this year’s Confederations Cup campaign in Russia. “I wanted to get my mates together for the Bahrain qualifier,” Fejos said regarding the foundation of the club.

“I wanted to provide a cool experience for them. Since then, it’s just evolved over time.” Numerous trips around the world hasn’t always come easy though, with Fejos enduring many sleepless nights organising flights, accommodation and match-day tickets for fan groups numbering in the hundreds. Additionally, the creation of customised merchandise, – including overalls, New Zealand flags, and inflatable kiwis – has taken its toll. The hours of sleep lost has not gone unnoticed for Fejos and his crew. New Zealand Football nominated The Flying Kiwis for The Best Fan Moment at the FIFA Best Awards earlier this year after their arranged friendly against a group of Russian fans in St Petersburg at the Confederations Cup tournament. - NZME

Manchester City have reported record revenue of 473.4 million pounds ($868 million) and a profit of 1 million pounds ($1.8 million) during Pep Guardiola’s first season in charge. The Premier League club announced results to June 30, covering a 13-month period as they adjust their financial year cycle, with turnover rising 21 per cent. City, who have been transformed since the 2008 takeover by Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Mansour and won the Premier League in 2012 and 2014, did not win a trophy last season. - AP

Learning from suspension A contrite Besart Berisha says he deserved his A-League suspension as he prepares to return for winless Melbourne Victory. The A-League’s record goal scorer copped a twoweek ban for unsporting conduct after pushing an official in Victory’s round-three draw with Adelaide United. His absence has come at a bad time for Kevin Muscat’s men, who have started the season in sluggish fashion and sit seventh on the ladder with three draws and two losses. With Berisha available, last year’s grand finalists will look to improve their record when they face ninth-placed Brisbane tomorrow night. - AAP

Official admits rort A former deputy governor of St Petersburg has confessed to a fraud charge related to the construction of the city’s 2018 World Cup stadium. Marat Oganesyan had admitted helping arrange a fraudulent payment of 50.4 million rubles ($1.2 million) for a display screen contract at the stadium, St Petersburg city court said yesterday. Oganesyan was accused of arranging for a friendly subcontractor to win the contract knowing he had no intention of using the payment to provide the screens. - PA

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You take pleasure in maintaining your friendships. It’s not so easy for all your loved ones. Some find it difficult to be social, so it’s wonderful that you’re willing to reach out and take the initiative. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): It’s time to expand the social circle again – an effort that will pay off in laughter and fun as well as in business and finance. Maybe plan an event that will allow your friends to introduce you to their friends. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The mistake may have been an honest one, but that doesn’t change what happened. Try to be logical and methodical as you work out how to make things right and how to make sure this doesn’t happen again. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): What’s not advancing in your life is retreating. Chances are, you’re fine with this. You can’t move everything forward at once. And letting cycles run their natural course is the smart thing to do. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Oddly, what you think is boring will get far less so as you do it repeatedly. Your mind will open to the intricacies. You may even feel that you’ve glimpsed the magical underpinnings of life itself in this. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): One of something is a choice. Two is an accumulation. Three is a collection. The higher numbers will involve more rules, hierarchies and categorisations. The more organised you are, the more you can handle. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The ideal way to behave in the situation isn’t written in the manners books. Also, a person can be caring and compassionate and still have no idea how to do the right thing. You’ll help in this regard today. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Flip the problem around, the obvious solution may not be the best one. It may very well be the case that you can get more use from your obstacles than from the things that are going easily right. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Not one to be cynical or pessimistic, you know to listen to those voices inside that might be nudging you toward an uncomfortable conclusion. This is intuition warning you. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): When the weather turns cold, the stagnant water freezes long before the running water. To avoid rigidity of mind, body or spirit, keep moving. To avoid rigidity of style, keep seeking new influence. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): The problem is like a kinked-up Slinky. In your efforts to handle the twist, things coil into themselves until it’s absolutely a mess. Two choices: Either throw it away, or call it art. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’re an integral part of whatever group you join, even if you’re new. Your joy is contagious; your curiosity is a stimulant for all around you.

Witch doctor does the trick Manu Tuilagi believes he has been exorcised of an injury curse caused by three evil ghouls after visiting a witch doctor in Samoa. Tuilagi returned to the nation of his birth on the advice of his mum who suggested seeing the spiritual healer after groin, hamstring and knee injuries cruelled the past three years of his career. “I saw the witch doctor for two hours a day and she said she found what the illness was,” he said. “She found there were three lady spirits who had married themselves on to me for the last three years. The spirits wanted me for themselves and injuring me was the way to do it.”

Top jumpers on show BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

This weekend some of the South Island’s best show jumpers and show hunters will display their skills at the Ashburton Showgrounds. They will be attending the South Island Jumping and Show Hunter Championships. Four-hundred horses and 260 riders are expected to attend the two days of competition, covering training pony classes through to the World Jumping Challenge and the South Island Super League. This is the third year that Ashburton will hold an event which falls under the umbrella of the World Challenge, an event which gives jumping riders the opportunity to compete in an international event if their country is not easily

located for international events. The course for the event has been designed by Brazilian Guilherme Jorge, who was assistant course designer at the Athens and London Olympics and went on to head the course design team at Rio. “It’s really exciting for the sport in this area,” Ashburton Area Equestrian Sports New Zealand chairman Dave Redmond said. “It has been a big ask for the committee, but we couldn’t be happier.” Redmond said it was great for local showjumpers to compete as well as for supporters and equestrian enthusiasts to get the opportunity to see some topnotch showjumping action, rarely witnessed in Ashburton. Local riders Jaimee Bird and Lucinda Askin both had strong finishes at last year’s event, and will be hoping for much

the same this year. Bird, aboard Double J Wilma, is expected to be amongst it yet again after finishing runner-up in the first round of competition at McLeans Island on Labour weekend. Five jump rings will be in action over the weekend to accommodate all the competitors. The Super League South Island Horse Championship brings a big prize pool to the table, with a total of $3000 up for grabs, while the top pony riders will compete for a share of $1000 in the South Island Pony Grand Prix Series. Competition starts at 8.30am each morning, with the World Jumping Challenge set to be held on Sunday following the South Island Championship on the main oval. Entry is free, with food available in the grounds.

Sloane Stephens is back in the United States team for the Fed Cup final, and Victoria Azarenka is missing for Belarus. That alone gives the early advantage to the Americans, even Serena and Venus Williams. Stephens, who won the US Open this year for her first major title, missed the opening two rounds of the international team competition because of a foot injury. But she is back and will be playing alongside CoCo Vandeweghe, Shelby Rogers and Alison Riske in the bestof-five series this weekend in Minsk.

Old Dogs get together Bulldogs coach Dean Pay has assembled a group of the oncefeared NRL club’s premiershipwinning captains to help return the side to glory. Past stars George Peponis, Steve Mortimer, Peter Tunks, Terry Lamb and Andrew Ryan will mentor current players at training and on match days. They will also speak regularly with Pay, who was named coach in September after Des Hasler was sacked and is himself a former Bulldogs premiership player.
