IN TODAY’S GUARDIAN

Come on down Auckland ...

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@ATHEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Ashburton District’s economy could soon be boosted by a wave of new residents, North Island business people looking for a slower pace of life.

A marketing campaign has been launched by the Lake Hood Trust aimed at attracting business owners who can harness technology to work remotely, to relocate to the lake. Auckland is the target market, based on research that shows there are growing numbers of people wanting to retain their business interests from an out-of-city base, said trust chairman Graham Kennedy.

“We believe there are huge numbers of people looking to move out of Auckland and there is no reason why they shouldn’t come to Lake Hood,” he said.

An influx of new business people into the district would add a new dynamic and would also help fill the district’s skill gap, Kennedy said.

“We’re doing quite a focused approach into the Auckland market and while it’s aimed at attracting people to Lake Hood the whole district will benefit.”

There was plenty of evidence that people were fed up with wasting considerable time every day tied up in traffic and were looking for new lifestyle options, he said.

“Technology has now opened up new options for people to move away but to continue to run their business.”

With new sections of the Lake Hood extension being developed people were able to buy house lots on the water or larger sections or lifestyle blocks at prices that were significantly lower than those in and around Auckland, Kennedy said.

In addition to a push into the Auckland market, the trust was working with two parties interested in developing both town houses and holiday accommodation in the lake’s commercial area near the Lake House.

Lake Hood’s development is capped at 500 properties and the speed with which the lake extension is developed is driven by the district’s need for aggregate.

Ashburton Contracting is a partner in the development with is chief executive Gary Casey saying new canals were currently being excavated and that would result in the release of more sections over the next 12 to 18 months.

A consent was granted for the excavation for a 30 year period allowing five million cubic metres of aggregate to be removed.

Stages seven and eight in the development are fully sold, stage 12 was selling well and in stage 10 only two waterfront lots were unsold, Casey said.

“This development is about having land for everyone, land that everyone can afford. Most of our buyers are locals and with the lifestyle blocks we’re getting quite a few younger families with children,” he said.

Ramble to showcase what Mt Somers has to offer

By SuE nEwman

SuE.n@thEguardian.Co.nz

Some of Mt Somers’ secret places will be opening their garden gates on Sunday when the village holds a fundraiser for its tiny community library.

About five years ago the village’s unused post office building was reborn as a library, however, like any building, the old post office needs love, attention – and money – to keep it up to spec.

And that, library committee member Pam Annand says means the community is holding its first ever library fundraiser, a garden ramble and plant sale that will take visitors through several very different private gardens.

The event starts at one of the village’s signature gardens, the secret space behind the curiously sculpted hedge on Patton Street owned by Roy Wilson.

“Roy’s garden is never open to the public. So many people stop and admire the hedge but it’s amazing what’s behind it,” Annand said.

The Wilson house was built in 1894 by Jessie Patton, believed to be the first woman in New Zealand to have her name on a property deed.

After ramblers have toured the Patton Street garden, they are able to walk the rest of the route, she said.

This takes in a new garden on Morgan Street where virtually every plant has been grown from

cuttings and then allows ramblers to peek through the gate at Pete’s Plastic House on the corner of Morgans Street and Comyns Road.

The trail then takes in LMC Jewellery, owned by Leonie and Peter Austin and then on to Annand’s property.

Devonshire tea will be served

here before ramblers can walk down an alleyway to a plant stall.

The walk wraps up at the library where local history buffs John and Anne Chapman will talk about the history of the village and the area.

The only property outside the walking loop is the old Mt Somers School masters house on State Highway 77. This was built in 1876

and has been in the hands of current owners Don and Frances Stanton since 1989.

While the library’s costs are usually only counted in electricity, the building is in need of a coat of paint, and funds raised on the day will ensure this work can be carried out, Annand said.

“We do get wonderful support

from the council, the Ashburton library and EA Networks. But we need to raise money to paint the building and to help pay our power bills.”

Mt Somers gardens will be opening their gates on Sunday from 10.30am to 4pm with tickets available from Roy Wilson’s property on Pattons Road.

■ GISBORNE INCIDENT

MCFU responds to charge

By Colin EngElBrECht Colin.E@thEguardian.Co.nz

The Mid Canterbury Rugby Union has responded after a player was charged with intent to commit rape last week.

Chief executive Ian Patterson said the union is aware a player was charged on October 2, a day after the Hammers played East Coast in Ruatoria.

“The Mid Canterbury Rugby

Union took advice and immediately put in place all responsible steps to manage the situation including standing the player down,” he said.

Patterson went on to say the union would ensure the player had appropriate support in place, given the various interests that have to be taken into account.

“Nothing further can be said in

light of the court order suppressing all details,” he said.

This is not the first off-field incident the New Zealand Rugby Union has had to deal with in recent months.

Earlier this month All Blacks player Aaron Smith was caught in a disabled toilet in Christchurch Airport with an unnamed woman.

Smith was banned from one

game and sent home from the tour in South Africa.

Late last month the Wellington Rugby Union was the recipient of widespread public backlash after their handling of 18-year-old Losi Filipo’s escaped conviction.

Filipo was accused of being involved when four people were assaulted on a Wellington Street last year.

Judge Bruce Davidson said a

conviction could damage Filipo’s career.

Early in September the New Zealand Rugby Union was embroiled in controversy over their handling of the Chiefs stripper scandal during their Mad Monday celebrations.

Involved Chiefs players were only given a caution after they allegedly indecently touched a stripper they had hired.

■ PRESBYTERIAN SUPPORT ASHBURTON

Budgeting service retained

By Michelle NelsoN

Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Struggling families will continue to receive free budgeting advice in Ashburton.

It’s been a waiting game for the staff at Presbyterian Support Ashburton, with the future of the budgeting service hanging in the balance for several months.

Yesterday, the social service agency received word it had won the contract to run the new-look Building Financial Capabilities, under the umbrella of its Family Works service, from November 1.

Previously, Family Works had partnered with the Ashburton Budget Advisory Service Board to provide budgeting advice as part of its wraparound social support services.

“We are delighted to be able to continue to help families and individuals in Mid Canterbury to improve their financial acumen,” Presbyterian Support Mid Canterbury regional manager, Jackie Girvan said.

“This also gives certainty to our budgeting staff.”

Family Works will offer a mix of one-on-one sessions with financial mentors and small group MoneyMates sessions.

Financial mentors will reframe and build on the service currently provided by budget advisors, Girvan said, while MoneyMates will offer opportunities for small-group education and support. It will replace current, structured group education programmes.

The intent of the changes made by

Jackie Girvan the Ministry of Social Development was to improve the financial capability of New Zealanders experiencing hardship in a manner sympathetic to their diverse and complex needs.

Girvan is positive about the new approach.

“Budgeting is only one part of being financially capable,” she said.

“For families and individuals facing hardship, there are often multiple and complex factors at play. Having the flexibility to address these in tandem makes sense and is an approach that Family Works has championed since 2014.”

It was the second serving of good news Girvan had to deliver to the agency’s staff this month. Last Friday she learned MSD had granted Presbyterian Support the contract to run the Family Start service, which replaces Parents as First Teachers.

Fright night theatre is all about having some fun.

Prepare to be frightened The creepy clown craze sweeping the world has unwittingly provided some free publicity for an Ashburton director’s new venture, scare walks.

Georgie Sivier will stage her first scary theatre experience in the Allenton Rugby Club rooms tonight. Warning: there will be scary clowns, but they are part of the show.

Sivier acts in scare walks and murdermystery theatre in Christchurch and said the fright night planned in her home town tonight would run under similar lines.

Guests enter the venue in small groups and are given 20 minutes to complete five tasks – while being scared by a cast of actors dressed

to induce screaming and the odd heart flutter.

Sivier said the show cost $10 per person and was restricted to people aged 13 and older.

“There may be a scary clown, but there definitely will be some scary characters.”

She said the rugby club would be turned into the site of an old asylum as part of the scary theme for the night and she had enlisted the help of some talented actors experienced in the scare factor.

She said this type of theatre was best experienced in a small group; there was no need to book and people could just turn up from 7pm onwards.

■ REAL ESTATE MARKET

In brief

LVR changes spark caution

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Wary investors and cautious first home buyers are forcing a re-adjustment in the housing market, an Ashburton a real estate company owner says.

The speed bumps that came into effect on October 1 might have lifted the upper buying limits for first home buyers in the Ashburton District from $400,000 to $450,000 but the new loan to value ratio limits make finding a deposit tougher for both first home buyers and investors, Jill Quaid says.

Banks can have just 10 per cent of their lending to buyers with a deposit of less than 10 per cent; the rest need 20 per cent or more. Investors have to find a 40 per cent deposit.

And that, Quaid said, means the market is taking a bit of a pause, as investors mull over the impact of the changes and first home buyers look at deposit options.

In the Ashburton market, where REINZ figures show the median sales price in September for the district was $350,000 a first home buyer needs a deposit of $70,000; an investor, $140,000.

First home buyers often had high expectations and the higher borrowing limits meant they could stretch to buy a new home, but even if they could find the $90,000 deposit needed, their repayments would be high, she said.

If anything, the impact on investors was more significant,

particularly for people who might own their own home and have an 80 per cent mortgage on an investment property.

If they sold their primary home, under the new loan to value ratio rules lenders would immediately claw back some of the sale price to offset the investment property mortgage, reducing this to the required 60 per cent, she said.

The median price of a house in the district has risen almost 15 per cent over the past year from $308,000, but has dipped $9000 on August.

The size of Ashburton’s market, however, means year on year change is far more relevant, Quaid said.

“You only need one sale at the top end and none at the bottom

and the median is skewed.”

Sales numbers were down slightly on the previous month, falling from 56 to 53. Year on year, however, the number of properties sold in September rose 26 per cent. The average number of days it took to sell a property was 32.

Prices in Ashburton might be climbing, but they fall well short of the national median which has now climbed to $515,000.

If Auckland is taken out of the mix, the national median falls to $400,000.

On the national market place, 34.8 per cent of homes sold last month were priced below $400,000.

The fastest growing price category is the $600,000 to $1 million segment, now 26.9 per cent.

How difficult do you think it is for this generation to buy their own home?

Alana Lwin, 36, owns a house with her partner and is selling it in a few weeks.

“If you think about a normal rent house price which is about $340, that could be going into a mortgage.

You’d rather pay off your house than pay off somebody else’s …

I think maybe priorities are a bit different.

If someone is wanting to buy a house and they are set to it, they can still buy a house.”

Emma Hughson, 30, owns a house but had help with a deposit from her step parents.

“It’s quite difficult.

The generation now with house prices increasing it’s a lot more difficult to.”

Glenn McMillan, 30, does not own a house and does not think he ever will.

“In reality I can’t afford to contribute more than the minimum contribution to my Kiwisaver which means that as an end result it’s only going to benefit me in my retirement, it’s not going to give me the opportunity to buy a house … I guess I’m putting all my hopes into powerball right now.”

Duncan McIntyre, 19, does not own a home and is flatting but thinks, and although it will be tough, he can later in life.

“It is going to be ages before I want a house.

It will take me maybe 20 to 25 years depending on how much I put away.”

Annette Wing, 65, bought her home in the 80s and said it was tough back then like it is now and perhaps today’s generation wants the perfect house straight away rather than doing it up.

“I think they are bigger spenders than are … It’s tough but people can still do it.”

Drive lesson goes awry A husband and wife ended up in Hamilton’s Lake Rotoroa earlier yesterday when a driving lesson in a nearby carpark went awry.

Scott Keelty, who works in a cafe on the lake’s edge, said he arrived minutes after the red people-mover crashed about 20m into the lake before it started to sink. Keelty called 111 as other bystanders jumped in to rescue the couple, who couldn’t open the car’s doors and couldn’t swim.

“It was a couple doing a driving lesson in a carpark facing the lake and she’s hit the wrong pedal,” Keelty said. The woman hit the accelerator and the car jumped the curb, plunging into the lake shortly after 12.30pm.

Parvovirus outbreak An outbreak of parvovirus has proved fatal for some Greymouth dogs. Megan Hero, a veterinarian at West Coast Vets, says in the past two weeks unvaccinated dogs in the town had been hit hard by the deadly virus. There have also been cases in Hokitika, Hero said, but the exposure had been greater in Greymouth. “Currently we’ve had about eight cases confirmed, with another two to three suspected at the moment. Sadly, many of the cases have been so severe that they’ve needed to be euthanised to prevent further suffering,” she said.

■ MOBILE DATA FAULT

Spark’s Mayfield service sorted

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Mayfield residents are relieved telco company Spark has finally sorted out a connection fault which has frustrated mobile data users for several weeks.

A Guardian reader flagged the problem on Monday, venting his concerns over the lack of progress in sorting the problem out.

Spark spokesperson Sam Dur-

bin said a fault developed in the company’s connection to the Mayfield tower in mid to late September. The connection was leased from Chorus.

“The fault meant that people’s mobile data connections on their t-sticks and mobile phones would drop out or were patchy, and in some cases people would have dropped or failed calls, and text messages may have failed

to send or be received on time,” Durbin said.

“We worked hard to get the connection sorted out, and in the end decided to shift over to a brand new, higher-speed connection of our own. This work took a little while to get done, but was completed around midday on Wednesday, and we saw an instant improvement.”

Spark apologised to those af-

fected by the fault.

Durbin said the company would be carrying out more upgrades on the Mayfield tower over the next couple of weeks, which will give users of compatible devices in the area faster mobile data speeds with more capacity.

“Many of them will also be able to take advantage of our new rural wireless broadband product

■ BRAINWAVE TRUST

Babies’ brains hardwired by age 3

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Science has proved the first three years of a child’s life set the scene for adulthood, family violence specialist sergeant Jim Sole says.

Sole was speaking in Ashburton this week in his capacity as a Brainwave Trust presenter.

Working as a police officer for almost 30 years, Sole has specialised in family violence since 2000, and is well aware of the destructive impact exposure to violence can have on developing young brains.

“During the 1990s, new technology enabled us to see into the brain; the structure of the brain, and the science into brain growth, in ways we had never been able to before,” he said.

“A baby’s brain is automatically wired up to an environment of survival. How we treat and value women during pregnancy, is picked up in the womb. Stress in mum leads to stress in her unborn child.”

“At birth, a baby’s brain is wired to enable it to automatically pick up and learn any language, including non-verbal communication.

“At around three years of age, although still present, this ability does begin to dissipate, which explains as adults it becomes

Brainwave Trust presenter Jim Sole addresses his audience. more difficult to learn languages the older we get.

“A baby is picking up everything in his or her environment.”

He said the trauma of living in a violent family environment had long lasting ramifications, which could begin before birth.

“Much of how we parent is based on how we were parented,” Sole said.

“From there this flight or fight syndrome develops. How we, as parents behave and talk around baby, is picked up by baby.”

For example, a baby, brought

up in war-torn Syria is more likely to begin life wired to survival, he said.

Sole also discussed the findings of recent research into the importance of touch and physical contact on the brain development from birth.

which runs over our 4G network and delivers both broadband and landline services,” he said.

“This will give people in the area who might not be very wellserved by their traditional copper broadband and landline connection another option.”

Once the upgrades are completed customers will be able to sign up online, over the phone, or in-store.

Firefighter found guilty Volunteer firefighter John Klaphake has been found guilty of careless driving.

Last year Klaphake ran a red light and crashed into an SUV on the way to a house fire in Newtown.

Judge David Wilson handed down the verdict at Wellington District Court yesterday.

He says Klaphake’s actions were careless and made a substantial contribution to the crash and the injuries sustained by the driver of the SUV. Immediately after the verdict was handed down Klaphake’s lawyer made an application for the judge to consider special circumstances.

Following the decision, Klaphake said he would never drive an emergency service vehicle again.

“Even though you may be taking due care, there are a lot of circumstances that are way beyond your control. I just don’t think I will be wanting to put myself in that position again.”

Klaphake said he received next to no support from the New Zealand Fire Service during the ordeal. He said there should have been support through the whole judicial process.

Klaphake said some of his fellow firefighters would no longer enter intersections on a red light when driving in emergency situations.

■ INTERNATIONAL STUDY

In brief

Childcare costs among highest Childcare costs in New Zealand are among the highest in the developed world, according to an international study.

Kiwi couples spend nearly a third of their income on childcare according to a report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

The figure is nearly three times as high as what parents spend in France and Germany.

The average childcare cost, across OECD member countries, for two-parent households is 13 per cent of income.

Experts warn that barriers to childcare can undermine a child’s early education development.

An-Nur childcare centres manager Dr Maysoon Salama said the findings did not surprise her.

Many parents using their centres in Christchurch and Dunedin were struggling to pay fees even though at $5.50 per hour they were among the cheapest in the country and had not risen since 2011.

Salama said many parents compromised on childcare with some shift workers looking after their children during what

According to an international study childcare costs in New Zealand are among the highest in the developed world. should be their sleep time.

Migrant workers without permanent residency and foreign students with children under the age of three were particularly affected by high childcare costs because they were not eligible for Work and Income support.

Ministry of Education head of evidence, data and knowledge, Craig Jones, rejected the report’s findings.

It over-estimated the time children spent in childcare in New

Zealand (which assumed two children in full-time childcare for the entire year) and overlooked the first 20-hours of childcare subsidy available to the parents of three to five year olds.

“Per-child early childhood education funding in New Zealand is among the highest in the OECD. Funding for early children education has risen every year for the last 10 years.”

Early Childhood Council chief executive Peter Reynolds had no

doubt that the cost of childcare here was rising.

“The Government has been cutting childcare subsidies by stealth since 2010.”

However, Reynolds said the report did not paint an accurate picture of childcare in New Zealand because of its broad assumptions.

Childcare costs here were high but not as bad as what the study had reported.

University of Canterbury early childhood education researcher Parisa Soleimani Tadi said cost barriers to attending childcare centres could delay children’s development “especially in early learning areas of literacy and numeracy”.

The OECD report, Society At A Glance 2016, states high childcare costs are likely to affect mothers the most.

“It may not be financially worthwhile for both partners to work, and it is usually the mother who stays at home,” the report says.

The study is part of OECD biennial report which provides an overview of social indicators in 35 OECD member countries.

Clinton ahead in latest polls Hillary Clinton turned up the heat on Republican candidates who are facing both tight election races and tough decisions on what to do about Donald Trump. She’s now seeking to spread her new momentum to fellow Democrats on November ballots.

The move came on a day that ended with new allegations — piling onto already damaging revelations of Trump’s aggressive sexual comments about women.

Two newspapers reported that Trump’s actions went beyond words. The New York Times published interviews with two women who say they were touched inappropriately by the billionaire without their permission.

Separately, The Palm Beach Post in Florida, reported that Mindy McGillivray, 36, told the newspaper that Trump groped her at his Mar-a-Lago estate 13 years ago.

The reports came as two GOP senators and two House members who called for Trump to step aside last the weekend climbed back aboard. Their basic case:

Janet Jackson pregnant

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton greets members of the audience after speaking at a rally at the Colorado State Fairgrounds.

PHOTO AP They’re voting for a Republican next month, and if Trump isn’t leaving then he’s got to be the one.

At a rally in Colorado, Clinton declared that Trump is desperate and running scorched earth strategy.

“That’s all they have left — pure negativity, pessimism,” she said.

“We are competing everywhere. I think Americans want to turn out in as big a number

as possible” to reject Trump’s message, Clinton said.

Clinton’s new swagger and expanded ambitions come as Trump declares he feels unshackled to launch the sort of hard-edged, personal campaign his most ardent supporters love.

In Florida, he highlighted a new batch of hacked emails from Clinton campaign manager John Podesta’s account, published by WikiLeaks, the

anti-secrecy group.

Clinton aide Glen Caplin said that Trump’s campaign needs to explain its “possible ties to foreign espionage.”

With polls showing Clinton pulling ahead in the presidential race and Trump digging in, Republican candidates for the House and Senate are tied in knots. As party leaders step away from him, Trump is vowing to win the election his own way.

Janet Jackson has officially confirmed her pregnancy. The 50-year-old singer announced six months ago she was postponing her tour to “have a family” with husband Wissam Al Mana and has subsequently been spotted with a growing baby bump, but has never commented about the news until now. It was previously revealed Janet had been suffering from morning sickness but was thrilled to be pregnant. A source said: “Janet is super excited. She’s doing great.

Janet feels really strong and is just so excited for the baby to come. She feels like this is one of the best things ever to happen to her.”

Australian teens planned Isis attack Two Sydney teens are behind bars after facing court for allegedly wielding bayonet-style knifes in preparation for an Islamic State-inspired terror attack.

The 16-year-old boys were arrested by counter-terrorism police outside a Bankstown prayer hall on Wednesday afternoon after allegedly purchasing the weapons from a nearby gun shop earlier in the day.

Authorities are unaware of any specific target but believe an attack was imminent.

“Had we not been in the right place at the right time, certainly somebody, potentially today, would be, or another day imminently, would

be without their life,” AFP Deputy Commissioner Michael Phelan told reporters on Thursday.

The teens have been charged with planning an act of terror which carries a penalty of life behind bars - and being members of Islamic State, which carries a penalty of 10 years’ prison.

The pair were formally refused bail at Parramatta Children’s Court on Thursday morning, with their cases adjourned until December 7.

Police believe the boys had been radicalised, but would not say over how long or by whom.

Ms Burn refused to confirm reports one boy was related

to a man already in jail convicted of terror offences, but said: “We know that they have connections with people who are radicalised and who are of concern to us.”

She said counter-terror police were “well aware” of the 16-year-olds before the alleged terror plot and held concerns about them, but would not say whether either teen were on terror watch lists.

Four western Sydney properties connected with the teenagers - including a prayer hall and multiple homes were raided after the boys were taken into custody.

Items were seized for forensic examination and police have not ruled out making fur-

ther arrests over the thwarted alleged terror plot.

The age of the two boys is of significant concern to counter-terrorism police, who are seeing an increase in the number of radicalised teens.

This is the 11th imminent terror attack prevented by the Joint Counter Terrorism Teams in Australia, authorities say.

“We’ve got to remember that our current threat level is probable, and it’s there for a reason. There are people, no matter what age unfortunately, who want to do an attack and who can do an attack,” Ms Burn said.

“We are doing everything we can to prevent such attacks.”

Gomez back in rehab Singer Selena Gomez has reportedly checked into rehab due to crippling anxiety, depression and panic attacks.

The 24-year-old has been receiving treatment at a facility since August 30 when she announced a career hiatus, sources said. “Selena is dealing with lupus, but this break is to focus on her mental health,” a source close to the pop star said. “She can go to a very dark place.” The singer cancelled 34 remaining dates on her Revival world tour, telling People magazine she needed to manage the side effects of her lupus diagnosis, including depression. Sources at the time said the star was exhausted and brokenhearted, and had been partying very hard.

OUR VIEW

Another fire for the NZR to put out James Ford

NEWS CO-ORDINATOR

W

hat has been in the headlines nationally has now arrived on our own doorstep.

It has been revealed that a Mid Canterbury player was arrested on October 2 and charged with assault with intent to commit rape the day after the team’s Heartland Championship clash against East Coast.

The incident in Gisborne adds to a rapidly growing list which was addressed in an editorial last week.

Unfortunately, New Zealand Rugby finds itself putting out another fire.

NZR was criticised heavily for the way the Chiefs ‘strippergate’ was dealt with and this was quickly followed by the handling of the Losi Filipo assault case.

Again NZR was left red-faced last week when halfback Aaron Smith was handed a one-match ban following a disabled bathroom tryst with a woman at Christchurch airport.

Smith is still to face a disciplinary process.

Now Heartland Rugby is in the spotlight for what could be the most serious incident of all.

Mid Canterbury Rugby CEO Ian Patterson was understandably brief in his statement but revealed that the player has been stood down while also receiving the appropriate support.

Until the correct processes are followed we will not know whether the player in question is guilty or not.

But what can be addressed now is how it reflects upon Mid Canterbury Rugby Union.

I personally have covered rugby in Mid Canterbury throughout the grades and, after working with other unions in the past, have always found their approach to the game as wholesome and honest.

Mid Canterbury Rugby Union is well structured and offers young people a variety of pathways into the game while promoting the core values of respect and sportsmanship.

The latest revelations will no doubt garner negative attention, but a solitary incident should not dim the view of a union that the district can be proud of.

Australia, beer beckon the Hooper male clan I

am sitting at the keyboard with hope this week. Hope that the column flows quickly on to the computer screen in front of me and I can continue to mentally prepare myself for a few big days.

Tomorrow, which is actually yesterday by the time you skim through this column, I board a plane to Australia. Brother Mark and I head over the ditch for a long weekend to see brother Greg for some ‘Brotherly Bonding’.

The bonding bit will last for around eight minutes followed by our best efforts to ridicule each other until we head home again barely talking to each other and very glad to see our families.

But we will have a silly grin on our faces and secretly look forward to doing it all again soon.

We will pick up Greg in Brisbane before heading to Mark’s brother-in-law’s place in Coolum Beach.

Greg is a very good home brewer (god I hope he doesn’t get sent a copy of this) and pretty much the only reason we pick him up is to also pick up eight (30

litre) kegs of his home brew.

We place our orders with him two months out from the trip and he gets busy brewing. This year I have ordered a Coffee Porter. It is a nice dark beer and I think the inclusion of the coffee element in the beer will allow us the opportunity to drink this particular brew with breakfast without ”the guilt factor” of drinking before 11am.

Of course it’s not the only reason we pick up Greg, that was just being silly, we also love to hack into his Facebook account and post up some ingenious and hilarious status updates.

Greg has tried to pretend to warn his Facebook friends about our visit and roll out some sort of mature facade by posting the following on Wednesday. “Ok folks,

it’s that time of the year again when my idiot brothers Mark and Phill come over from New Zealand to abuse my hospitality, drink all my beer, overstay their welcome and of course hack my Facebook, so please ignore my posts as I will probably be gay or transgender for the next few days”.

I have analysed this statement and of course apart from the complete lack of full stops, it is obviously some sort of cry for help! I’m not sure why he has posted this as during our few days on his Facebook page, he gets more likes than the rest of the year combined.

If you are starting to feel a little sorry for Greg, please stop, he gives just as good as he gets. He still calls Mark “Grease” for daring to get some As on his school report at Ash College. He will also rip into me as usual about the small age gap between Manda and I and he’ll be all over our impending arrival in December and how this will be the last time I’ll be in Aussie for the next 20 years.

Mark’s brother-in-law Aiden,

will spend the weekend laughing at us and flying under the radar.

He’s a great host and enjoys our visit, but I’m sure he is also pleased to see the back of us after a few days.

He normally finishes the weekend with “I wouldn’t want to do it every weekend, but it’s been great”.

This year we have a new addition. Uncle Grant is joining us from West Virginia. He has a laugh that can bring a busy pub to a stand still. It is a ripper!

I get the feeling we might hear it a time or two over the weekend.

NZ’s surplus bigger than expected

BY PAUL MCBETH Finance Minister Bill English (right) yesterday announced a bigger surplus than expected in the last fiscal year as a growing economy underpinned by an expanding population delivered a bigger tax take than anticipated.

The operating balance before gains and losses (obegal) was a surplus of $1.83 billion in the 12 months ended June 30, rising from $414 million a year earlier, and ahead of the budgeted $668 million surplus. Core tax revenue climbed 5.7 per cent to $70.45 billion, beating the forecast $69.68 billion and outpacing a 2.2 per cent rise in core Crown expenses to a smaller-than-expected $73.93 billion.

“The New Zealand economy has made significant progress over the past eight years,” English said in a statement. “This delivers more jobs and higher incomes for New Zealanders and also drives a greater tax take to help the government’s books.”

The country’s economy has been growing at a faster pace than expected as record levels of inbound net migration and tourism stoke consumer demand. That

expanding population has boosted the size of the labour market, filling an increasing number of jobs and keeping wage inflation muted.

Personal income tax rose 5 per cent to $31.57 billion, with nominal wages rising and more people working. That fed into a 6.1 per cent gain in goods and services

and bigger than the $2.57 billion shortfall projected. The turnaround was largely due to a $5.1 billion actuarial loss on the value of Accident Compensation Corp’s long-term liability due to a decline interest rates reducing future investment income to meet those costs.

The biggest increase in the Crown’s core expenses was a 5.8 per cent rise in New Zealand superannuation payments to $12.28 billion as recipients roes to 690,600 from 665,100. The government’s accommodation assistance payments rose 3.1 per cent to $1.16 billion and income-related rent subsidies climbed 7.4 per cent to $755 million, while most other welfare payments, including Working for Families and KiwiSaver subsidies, declined from a year earlier.

Health expenses increased 3.8 per cent to $15.26 billion and education costs were up 2.2 per cent to $13.16 billion. The Crown’s total personnel bill rose 3 per cent to $21.76 billion, largely in line with forecast.

The half-year economic and fiscal update will be released on December 8, along with the budget policy statement.

tax to $18.21 billion. Company tax was up 7.4 per cent to $11.05 billion on rising business profits.

The bigger tax take reduced the size of the Crown’s cash deficit to $1.32 billion from $1.83 billion in 2015, and combined with a smaller bond issuance than expected, kept it below the forecast deficit of $2.12 billion. Net debt was

$61.88 billion, or 24.6 per cent of gross domestic product, as at June 30, compared to $60.63 billion, or 25.1 per cent of GDP, in 2015. Finance costs fell 5 per cent to $4.34 billion, less than the $4.47 billion budgeted for.

English reaffirmed his goal of getting net debt to about 20 per cent of GDP in 2020, and if there’s an unexpected windfall, “we may have the opportunity to reduce debt faster and as we’ve always said, if economic and fiscal conditions allow, we will begin to reduce income taxes”.

The Crown’s net worth was $95.52 billion, or 35.5 per cent of GDP, as at June 30, compared to $92.24 billion, or 35.8 per cent of GDP, in 2015, and ahead of the $89.3 billion, or 33.4 per cent of GDP, projected in the May budget.

Some $2.7 billion of that increase in value was attributed to the Crown’s housing stock, largely because of the strength of Auckland’s property market.

The operating balance, which includes unrealised movements in the Crown’s investment portfolio and actuarial valuations of long-term liabilities, was a deficit of $5.37 billion, turning from a surplus of $5.77 billion in 2015,

he fourth quarter is traditionally the strongest quarter of the year for equity markets, however, this year has had a shaky start.

The NZX50 has fallen more than 3 per cent since the beginning of the month, though it is important to note that the NZX50 has had a strong run, so much of this is investors taking profits. It is also in the lead up to the AGM season, and after many companies chose not to disclose forecasts during the last reporting season, so there will be plenty of corporate news flow to drive markets.

Last weekend, we saw the release of the US jobs report. There was plenty of emphasis being placed on the non-farm payrolls for September, as it is a report that the Federal Reserve uses in its decision making process.

Expectations were for a gain of 172,000 and for the unemployment rate to stay steady at 4.9 per cent. However, the survey showed that only 156,000 jobs were added and unemployment ticked up to 5.0 per cent. However, despite the miss the market took this result as a win, viewing the gain in job numbers as solid and attributing the rise in unemployment to an increase in the labour force which rose by 444,000.

In addition to this, the wage growth figure showed a 0.2 per cent rise for the month and a 2.6 per cent increase for the year ended September 30.

This implies that the labour market is tightening and is a promising sign. The report has been described as a goldilocks report, not too hot and not too

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

cold, just right.

During the week the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s last meeting were released.

The rhetoric was similar to the previous meeting in that the committee sees the time for rate hikes approaching. However, the committee expressed that they will not feel confident about rate hikes until the labour market firms up and there are signs that inflation is returning. Following the release of the minutes the market is still pricing in more than a 67 per cent chance of a rate hike in December.

One of the major events we have to look forward to this quarter is the US presidential election.

This week we saw the second debate between the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, and the Republican candidate, Donald Trump.

It followed on from a scandal revealed over the weekend of a tape featuring Donald Trump making lewd comments about women.

It was widely thought that Hillary Clinton was the winner of the debate and since then her lead in the polls has widened. The aftermath of the debate has seen a rift created within the upper echelon of the Republican Party and Mr Trump, notably, Speaker of the House of Representatives

Paul Ryan.

Mr Ryan, the most senior elected Republican Party member, has distanced himself from Mr Trump in the wake of the scandal.

In currency markets this week, the British pound has been sold off heavily, falling against all major trading partners.

The pound has fallen off sharply since the Brexit vote at the end of June. However, there has been renewed selling in recent weeks following on from Prime Minister Theresa May’s comments that she wants a Hard Brexit, meaning all ties cut, and wishes that talks begin by March 2017. Late this week, May had to soften her commentary and this saw the pound rebound slightly.

At the time of writing the NZ dollar was buying around 58 pence, however, was up at near 60 pence at one point during the week.

Oil prices have had a roller coaster ride this week, hitting a year-long high before falling sharply. Prices have rallied since OPEC leaders announced that they had reached an agreement to implement a production cap, however, this week the International Energy Agency announced that in fact September had seen record production levels.

The price of Brent Crude has slipped back to below $US52 a barrel and has dragged markets lower.

i30: beyond the expected W

ouldn’t you love to find a car that looks and feels as if it was just made for you?

Well, the series II Hyundai i30 is packed with so many features we think it could be more you than any other small car.

More style, more safety, more economy, more bells and whistles.

Which means finding the perfect car probably just got a whole lot easier ‌ To get started, we went to the heart of modern automotive design, Europe.

We hand-picked the design team, housed them in our purpose built, state-of-the-art Hyundai Design Studio in Germany, then handed them a single challenge: Take the i30 beyond the expected.

The goal was to create a new Hyundai born for the roads of Europe, yet destined to turn heads around the world and here in New Zealand.

The result is the sporty, dynamic exterior you can see here and it clearly sets the i30 apart from the rest of the small car category.

We’ve loaded enough features in the Hyundai i30 to keep everyone happy.

As you’d expect from a Hyundai of this quality, the i30 comes with clever features that make those long trips easier, and more relaxing when you’re cruising around town.

The i30 might be a small car - but it’s big on safety. The i30 comes equipped with features including 7 airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Vehicle Stabilty Management (VSM) and reversing camera, which have earned it a 5-star ANCAP safety rating�

Hyundai has a great range of small cars to choose from, with the compact Accent and sporty i30 Series II being two of our most popular. Both are surprisingly big on comfort and space, with powerful yet efficient engines for your driving enjoyment.

Find out for yourself with a test drive because with a price this small, the Accent Hyundai South Canterbury and i30its Series II will be in sleek big demand.

The i30 Series II is the small car with a very big presence. You’ll love sporty exterior, black interior

and the choice of efďŹ cient yet powerful petrol and diesel engines to suit all kinds of driving. Find out for yourself with a test drive - because with a price this small, the i30 Series II will be in big demand.

■ HYUNDAI ELANTRA ELITE

Enjoy while you can ...

I

haven’t ridden in an on-road driver-less vehicle, but with a so-called shuttle to be trialled at Christchurch airport sometime next year, I look forward to doing so.

The long term advantages of driver-less vehicles can well be imagined, especially for commutes to and then around cities, but perhaps less so about our county.

Wherever, its very obvious these vehicles will not offer much in the way of driving pleasure.

In that respect I can’t quite imagine being in a driver-less Ferrari, but even that’s likely to happen eventually.

So maybe for those who do enjoy our driving its a case of making the most of this while we can!

And while the swing continues towards SUV type vehicles and utes, there’s still a large and varied choice of new cars and hatches available, including the Elantra reviewed today.

While its Hyundai’s sedan alternative to the i30 hatch, the Elantra is a different car, being larger and more spacious inside, and of course having a low flat boot into which you can easily stash a decent 458 litres of luggage.

Or even more, if you are without rear passengers, by folding the seat-backs by way of the boot mounted levers.

Plus there’s a cargo net, fireextinguisher and safety vest, and a full size spare below.

The Elantra is a neat looker, thanks to Hyundai’s “fluidic sculpture”, which gives it a wide and low nose, flowing lines and a descending roof line.

All of which combine with the 17-inch alloys to give it the desired on-road presence.

There’s two well equipped Elantras, the $35,990 entry model and the more luxurious, $39,990 Elite as driven.

Both have a punchy, yet smooth, 2-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine which produces

112kW and 192Nm. This non-turbo engine, in conjunction with the intuitive six-speed auto means Elantra is both quick away from standing starts (0-100kmh in 9 seconds) and then responds eagerly during overtaking.

At open road cruise its quiet and relaxed.

In most situations I was happy to leave the auto to do its thing, only trying the manual mode option through the Rakaia Gorge, where it felt very much at home.

For in addition to the power on hand, the well weighted, electric power steering and the tuning/modifications to the suspension for Anzac road conditions show.

They are appreciated by encouraging, if you should so choose, enthusiastic, surefooted driving, while delivering a suitably comfortable, settled ride.

The stated overall fuel use is 7.2L/100km, which is not far

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

away from the 7.6L/100km the trip computer showed when returning the car.

Meanwhile within the leather furnished cabin there’s very good space for four adults.

The heated front seats proved to be well shaped, and longer range comfortable.

Both are height adjustable, the driver’s more so, but that the passengers also can be raised/ lowered is a big plus, both comfort and access wise.

The neatly laid out dash has a traditional look and durable feel to the plastics and finishings on and about it.

There’s large clear dials, straight-forward, easy to use controls, and a very intuitive,

7-inch touch screen multimedia system.

There is however no dedicated sat-nav, so you need to use your smart-phone via the Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity for Google maps.

Other features include a hill-start function, auto headlights and wipers, LED daytime running lights, USB/MP3/12V outlets and smart key/push button start.

The expectedly comfy back seat seat comes with sufficient leg and shoulder space as well as headroom for all but those who more than exceed standard height.

There’s rear air-vents and cupholders in the centre armrest.

Safety-wise the Elantra is ANCAP 5 star rated.

It has six air bags, stability control, reversing camera, blind spot detection, lane change assist, front/rear parking sensors and a reversing camera.

As well the brakes are strong and progressive.

HYUNDAI ELANTRA ■ Price: $39,990 +ORCs ■ Warranty: Three years ■ Engine: 2 litre 4 cyl petrol, 112kW @ 6200rpm/192Nm @4000rpm ■ Transmission: 6-speed auto, front wheel drive ■ Economy: 7.2L/100Km ■ Turning Circle: 10.8 metres.

■ Safety: ANCAP 5 star.

■ Warranty: 3 years/100,000k and 3 year roadside assist.

FINALE This easy to drive and live with Elantra is Hyundai’s world-wide best seller. Through its neat size, decent performance, agility, spacious cabin and big boot it again shows that there are other things in life, to SUVs! A 1.6 litre,150kw/265Nm turbo version with 7-speed twin-clutch gearbox arrives near the end of the year.

And there’s also no doubt a driver-less Hyundai being developed/tested!

T

his year’s New Zealand Car of the Year award finalists will force judges to make some hard decisions to determine their top pick.

The New Zealand Automobile Association and New Zealand Motoring Writers’ Guild (NZMWG) will announce the 2016 Car of the Year at the Viaduct Events Centre in Auckland on December 7.

Members of the guild and the AA who have driven the top 10 cars will independently rank each of them on a number of elements including value, design and quality – the best of which will become the 2016 New Zealand Car of the Year.

Also the public has the chance to make its pick with the New Zealand Car of the Year People’s Choice award.

The top 10 finalists for the New Zealand Car of the Year, in alphabetical order, are: Holden Spark Honda Civic Kia Sportage Mazda CX-9 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Mercedes-Benz GLC Skoda Superb Subaru Levorg Suzuki Vitara Volkswagen Tiguan AA Motoring Services General Manager Stella Stocks says the top 10 line up is a good representation of the market, from an entry level choice right through to the luxury end.

“It’s pleasing to see many affordable options included in the top 10 list of finalists boasting a lot of safety technology and great design.

“There really is something for everyone with this year’s line up,” Ms Stocks says.

Mercedes-Benz has two contenders for Car of the Year in 2016 with its E-Class sedan and the GLC SUV. European manufacturers secure another two places in the finalists’ list with the Volkswagen Tiguan and the Skoda Superb.

The compact Holden Spark packs in a range of features including personalisation options and a low price tag.

Last year Mazda had three models vying for attention in the top 10 and this year remains represented with its CX-9 seven seater.

It’s joined by the Suzuki Vitara, Kia Sportage, Subaru Levorg and Honda Civic.

Last year’s New Zealand Car of the Year went to the BMW i3.

A judging panel of members of the NZMWG, plus representatives from the AA, met this week to decide the final 10 for the New Zealand Car of the Year.

The New Zealand Motoring Writers’ Guild president, Liz Dobson, was impressed with the variety of vehicles in the top 10.

“Despite it being a relatively quiet year in terms of new vehicles being launched here, there was robust debate by the panel to decide the final vehicles as all contenders were strong candidates,” Ms Dobson says.

“We had products that covered the spectrum, not only in categories but prices too.

“You just need to look at the final 10 to see the variety – there’s a $16,490 hatchback and also one of the technologically advanced vehicles in the world.”

The New Zealand Car of the Year People’s Choice award will also be announced on December 7.

From November 1, the public will have a chance to vote for one of the top 10 finalists both on AA’s Facebook page and website and earn a chance to win a 10-day Pacific Islands cruise for two.

Fresh face; brutal power T

he ultra-desirable flagship of the Nissan GT-R range – the exhilarating GT-R NISMO – will go on sale from November 1, with prices now confirmed for the first time.

The GT-R NISMO is the pinnacle of the GT-R range, a high-performance race car for the road which takes the very best of the supercoupe’s legendary Japanese heritage, then enhances the iconic design and state-of-theart technology even further.

Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre V6 delivering 600PS – 30PS more than any other car in the range.

The engine features a pair of high-flow, large diameter turbochargers used in GT3 competition, and power is sent to all four wheels via a six-speed dual-clutch paddleshift gearbox.

The GT-R NISMO costs £149,995 in the UK; prices in other countries may vary slightly.

Like the standard car, the GT-R NISMO’s front end features a fresh face with a dramatic new bumper.

However, on this model it’s made entirely from carbon fibre to reduce weight.

To help cool the car’s high-output engine, the dark chrome V-motion grille has been enlarged to collect more air.

The redesign has been carefully shaped to improve airflow around the vehicle and generate a high level of downforce, while at the same time directing air around the wheels to improve the aerodynamics.

Despite its more potent nature, the new GT-R NISMO boasts better overall balance than before, evolving into a car that can be enjoyed on both winding roads and race circuits.

Thrillers on court

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The second week of Mid Canterbury Netball’s summer league produced some exciting encounters at the EA Networks Centre Stadium on Wednesday.

In the Business House League, Property Gurus were too good for Talley’s Cool Chips for a convincing 22-6 victory while Silver Thorns made light work of The Fly Hunnys 32-6, Stepping Stones thumped High Raters 35-13, RMF snuck by Seeds R Us 16-14 and Tavendale and Partners put EA Networks to the sword 27-19.

The social skilled division also offered

up some thrillers on the night.

One Hundred Per Cent were pushed to the very end 21-19 by Rakahe.

S & Giggles were more convincing in the 24-12 victory over Salty Geraldine Lips but Bench Warmers and Balls Up could not be separated in a 21-21 stalemate.

Splash ‘n’ Buckets notched the biggest win of their grade in a 37-6 hiding of Gin and Tonic while Cunning Stunts were also on the wrong end of a heavy loss to Te Tahi 27-6.

Meanwhile the clash between Battle Dogs and Dodgy Knees was a closer one with the Dogs edging out a 23-21 win.

■ CYCLING

Martin takes time trial Germany’s Tony Martin has won a recordequalling fourth men’s time-trial title at the UCI Road World Championships yesterday.

Martin finished the 40-kilometre course in 44 minutes, 42.99 seconds.

He was more than 45 seconds quicker than defending champion Vasil Kiryienka of Belarus, who took silver.

Jonathan Castroviejo of Spain was third in 45:53.90.

Martin joins Fabian Cancellara in winning the time trial title four times, after victories in Tony 2011, 2012 and 2013.

He was also second to Bradley Wiggins in 2014.

Australia’s Rohan Dennis failed in his

quest for redemption with a sixth-placed finish.

The 26-year-old was hoping to erase memories of the Rio Olympics, where he was headed for the podium before an aerobar inexplicable broke and forced a bike change that cost him 30 seconds as he ultimately fell just eight seconds shy of a medal.

There were no equipment malfunctions in Doha this week – just oppressive heat, as Dennis finished one minute and 28 seconds behind Martin.

Martin “Today just wasn’t my day,” Dennis said.

The men’s road race takes place on Sunday.

Rafael Nadal absorbed a 6-3 7-6 (7-3) body blow from Viktor Troicki to exit the Shanghai Masters, with the loss leaving the struggling Spaniard unsure of the remainder of his season. The 2009 finalist may now not front up for the London World Tour Finals, and warned that he might have to take drastic measures to shore up his fading form.

Crunch time for Hammers

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury will turn their attention back to the Meads Cup tomorrow, away from the current off-the-paddock incident that is surrounding the union.

The Hammers will lock horns with South Canterbury at the Alpine Energy Stadium in Timaru in a bid to secure second place on the Heartland ladder and a home semi-final.

It will be a tough challenge for Mid Canterbury.

South Canterbury have lost just once this term, against perennial Heartland heavyweights Wanganui 32-30 in week two.

They currently sit in second spot on 32 points, five ahead of the Hammers, and two adrift of Wanganui.

Mid Canterbury will also be well aware of how costly a loss could be with Buller and Wairarapa Bush both sitting on 25 points, followed by King Country on 23.

Bush will face winless East Coast in their final round robin clash in Masterton while King Country host Buller in Taupo in what is also set to be a thriller.

A loss against the old enemy could see Mid Canterbury fall out of Meads Cup contention.

There will be two changes in the Hammers’ starting XV with Sam Cottam coming in for Hamish Finnie at loosehead prop while Phil Watson is not likely to return to action this season after sustaining a back injury against Thames Valley last week.

Tomorrow Tevita Ula will don the No.6 jersey, Troy Mangan will come in at openside flanker and loan player Jordan Steward will move to No.8.

Sevens players feature New Zealand women’s rugby coach Glenn Moore has named a 28-strong squad to take on Australia in a two-test series later this month, as they build up to the World Cup next year. Olympic Games silver medallists Kelly Brazier, Sarah Goss and Portia Woodman are included alongside fellow Black Ferns Sevens players Honey Hireme, Hazel Tubic, Janna Vaughan, Selica Winiata and Carla Hohepa (returning from injury). The first match against Australia is a double header with the All Blacks Bledisloe Cup match at Eden Park on October 22.

Tietjens off to Samoa Sir Gordon Tietjens is set to confirm he will lead Samoa’s sevens programme, a coup for the Pacific Island nation after the hugely successful coach parted ways with New Zealand Rugby following the Olympics. The NZ Herald understands that Tietjens, who stood down last month after the New Zealand men’s team came fifth at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, is seen as the man to take the sevens game in Samoa to a new level and the benefits will be expected to flow to 15s.

Buck supports Smith Former All Blacks captain Wayne Shelford says Aaron Smith should still be considered the right man to lead the haka despite his recent fall from grace. Shelford, nicknamed Buck, played 22 tests for the All Blacks and has been credited as making the haka what it is today.

He told Stuff that leading the haka was a humbling experience, that it was an honour to be even considered, and that it “certainly needs a lot of wairua and ihi [energy and spirit].”

New deal for Gopperth

Heartland Championship, week eight: South Canterbury v Mid Canterbury, Timaru, 2.30pm.

Former Hurricanes and Blues first five-eighth Jimmy Gopperth has signed a new deal with English Premiership club Wasps. Wasps’ announcement did not disclose the length of contract for the 33-yearold who is the Premiership’s top scorer this season. Gopperth is now playing as a second fiveeighth to accommodate Danny Cipriani’s return to the club. Wasps are second on the Premiership table.

Ferocious Ferns stun Aussies

BY DANA JOHANNSEN A rookie shooter, a returning wildcard and an ever-present star were at the forefront of a stunning 14-goal turnaround for the Silver Ferns in Wednesday night’s Constellation Cup victory in Launceston.

After falling meekly to the Diamonds in Sunday’s 68-56 opening defeat, few gave the Ferns a chance of even winning a game over the remainder of the fourtest series.

But somewhere on the journey to Tasmania the Ferns found their mettle.

The New Zealanders shocked the Australians with their ferocious fightback to level the series and deliver new coach Janine Southby her first win over the world champions.

There were gutsy performances right across the court for New Zealand in the tightly fought 5351 win, but three players stood out: Anna Harrison, Laura Langman and Te Paea Selby-Rickit.

Harrison delivered the defensive bite, x-factor and inspirational plays.

It’s been over five years since Harrison last wore the goal keep bib for the Ferns against Australia.

In the intervening years she found herself pushed out of the circle due to the formidable partnership of Casey Kopua and Leana de Bruin, and instead had to settle for playing impact role at wing defence.

Anna Harrison was dominant in defence for the Silver Ferns.

The absence of the pair this season (Kopua is on maternity leave, while de Bruin has retired) left an opening in the Ferns goal circle, but a pesky calf injury delayed Harrison’s return to international netball following the birth of her second child last year.

The injury lay-off saw Harrison cede her position in the starting line-up to Jane Watson.

But after Watson was monstered by 1.93m shooter Caitlin Bassett in game one, Harrison was quickly thrown back in the last line of defence.

She relished in her duty.

Harrison’s added height, strength in air and ability to disrupt both the feed and the shot with her long limbs was reflected in her impressive stats of five in-

tercepts and 11 deflections.

But of greater value were the areas of her game that aren’t necessarily reflected in the stats sheet – her ability to get under the skin of a shooter and force them into errors they wouldn’t ordinarily make.

Langman – as she has done so often in her previous 138 tests – did the grind.

The veteran midcourter, who was forced back to wing defence in the absence of Kayla Cullen, shut down midcourt speedster Madison Robinson – the key link in the Diamonds’ supply chain to Bassett – with a tireless defensive performance.

Langman has long been seen as a potential foil to the influential Robinson, with the two play-

ers evenly matched in speed and footwork.

The problem is, the star midcourter is also the Ferns’ firstchoice centre.

Langman’s dominance over Robinson has proven the merits of allowing the veteran to concentrate on a more defensive role.

Selby-Rickit provided the poise and composure on attack.

In just her sixth international outing and first test start against Australia, Selby-Rickit was a revelation at goal attack.

The youngster’s height and strength out in front provided the Ferns with a reliable target, particularly on second phase play, while her deft touch with her passing into the circle helped put Bailey Mes into good space.

When the scores were tight down the home stretch, most would have expected it would be the Ferns to falter on attack – as they have done so many times before against the Diamonds.

Selby-Rickit ensured they didn’t, producing a brave performance in the goal circle under a mountain of physical and mental pressure.

It was new Silver Ferns coach Janine Southby’s first win over Australia, who said the team let themselves down in the opening match.

“We always believe we can do it and this is what we need to prove that and now we’re looking forward to the next two games,” Southby said.

- NZME

Room for improvement Jos Buttler believes England have room for further improvement despite ending Bangladesh’s run of six successive home one-day series wins.

The tourists triumphed by four wickets in the decider in Chittagong to hand the Tigers their first ODI series loss on their own turf for more than two years, having beaten Pakistan, India and South Africa in that time. England clinched the series without any of their top-four batsmen – with Jason Roy injured, Joe Root rested and Alex Hales and Eoin Morgan missing the tour for security reasons.

Aussies get smashed Australia have slumped to a 31run defeat in the fifth one-day international against South Africa at Cape Town despite a sensational 173 by David Warner. The lefthanded opener’s heroics weren’t enough to prevent Australia making history by losing five matches in a bilateral ODI series for the first time. The Proteas’ 5-0 whitewash was secured thanks to Rilee Rossouw’s third ODI hundred as the left-hander lifted the hosts to 7-327 at Newlands.

Inquest into day four The father of late cricketer Phillip Hughes has rejected the statement of Cricket Australia’s physio – muttering “lying” - as the team official told an inquiry he was unaware of any concerns about the nature of the play leading up to the death of the 25-year-old. Alex Kountouris told the inquiry into Hughes’ death he had not known that the family were worried the cricketer had been subjected to bowling tactics that are “inconsistent” with the spirit of cricket.

Adams injured again

Sharpshooter on the comeback trail

BY DANA JOHANNSEN Over the course of her six-week injury lay-off, Maria Tutaia has seen two rivals emerge for the Silver Ferns’ starting goal attack role.

After watching the Ferns first two Constellation Cup outings from the stands, the star shooter is expected to be included in the match-day 12 for Saturday’s third test in Auckland as part of her carefully managed comeback to international netball.

But Tutaia will have another battle on her hands to get out on court, following impressive performances from Te Paea SelbyRickit and Ameliaranne Ekenasio this season.

Selby-Rickit, in just her sixth international outing and first test start against Australia, was one of the stand-outs in the Ferns shock 53-51 win over the Diamonds in game two of the Constellation Cup.

The young Steel shooter’s height and strength made her a strong option on attack, particularly in second phase play, while her confidence to go to the post – particularly in the pressurefilled final moments – proved instrumental in the Ferns’ comeback win following a 12-goal defeat in Sunday’s opener.

Selby-Rickit’s breakthrough performance follows Ekenasio’s rise earlier in the season.

Maria Tutaia

Ekenasio shone for the Ferns in last month’s Quad Series, and was the stand-out in the Ferns losing effort in the series decider against Australia in Melbourne.

A family bereavement on the eve of the Jamaica series and a subsequent minor illness has delayed the 25 year-old’s progress in recent weeks, but once back on track Ekenasio will be pushing for the starting spot once more.

The development of the pair this season has put Tutaia under huge pressure to get back up to speed quickly as she fights her way back from a painful foot injury.

Tutaia is expected to be confirmed in the Ferns match-day 12 for the third test today and will likely displace teenage shooter

Maia Wilson, with Selby-Rickit offering cover at goal shoot if required.

The return of the 102-test star puts

Ferns coach Janine Southby in a position many of her predecessors can only have dreamed of – having the luxury of choice in the shooting end.

Asked whether any thought has been given to delaying Tutaia’s comeback in favour of continuing to develop alternate shooting lines, Southby responded: “I think I would have an argument on my hands if I was trying to do that.

“Maria is in a plan and the plan is all go for Auckland and we’re looking forward to her fighting her way back into contention,” she said.

“Maria is an absolute competitor and it’s been frustrating for her sitting on the sideline, but I know that when she gets the opportunity she’ll take it with both hands and she is just chomping at the bit.”

The Ferns unexpected win has breathed life back into the fourtest series heading in the New Zealand leg.

The two sides meet again in Auckland on Saturday night, before the series finale in Invercargill next week.

The 24-year-old will provide cover for Karmichael Hunt at fullback as well as more depth on the wing, where Eto Nabuli is poised to build on his first season of Super Rugby.

■ ATHLETICS

Young athletes give it a go

By Noah Graham Around 50 children had a go at sprinting, throwing and jumping their way through various field and track events on Wednesday evening.

Children between the age of seven to 14 got stuck in for the Ashburton Junior Athletics open night at the Ashburton Domain Oval to give athletics a go and see if it was the sport for them.

Ashburton Junior Athletics club president Gavin Borthwick

said the number of people who attended was 20 less than last year but still a good turnout as the numbers will increase to around 100 children registered to the club in the next few weeks.

Borthwick said the opening night was a chance for the children to see if athletics was a sport they would be interested in and an opportunity to sign up to the club.

He said although it was a chance to register with the club the children could turn up for the

first two weeks and not have to, however, they would need to after the third week.

The club will run an athletics night each Wednesday and give the children a chance to try various types of athletics, he said.

Borthwick said the children could try nine different field events which are on a threeweek rotation and included long jump, high jump, discus, shot put and 100m to 400m sprints – although the club will run 1500m later on.

■ BOXING

Fury opens door for Parker Troubled heavyweight Tyson Fury has vacated his WBO and WBA titles with “immediate effect”, opening the way for New Zealander Joseph Parker’s world title fight in Auckland in December.

The UK’s Daily Mail has reported that Fury, who twice reneged on a rematch with Wladimir Klitschko after his upset victory in November, has given up his two titles of his own volition.

Fury recently admitted to mental health issue and cocaine use.

With Fury stepping away from the fight game, there will be no danger of lengthy legal battles.

Kiwi Parker is likely to fight Mexican-American Andy Tyson Ruiz Jr in Auckland on December 10.

The date remains an issue with the rival promoters, but both say the fight will definitly happen, with famous Top Rank promoter Bob Arum saying he is looking

forward to his first visit to New Zealand.

“I feel that it is only fair and right and for the good of boxing to keep the titles active and allow the other contenders to fight for the vacant belts that I proudly won and held as the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world when I defeated the long-standing champion Wladimir Klitschko,” Fury said.

“I have taken the hard and emotional decision to now officially vacate my treasured World boxing titles and wish the next inline contenders all the very best as I now enter another big challenge in my life which I know, like against Klitschko, I will conquer,” he added.

Fury Peter Fury, Tyson’s uncle and trainer, said: “Tyson will be back stronger from this and I will make sure, no matter what we have to deal with, Tyson not only comes back but will reclaim what’s rightfully his.”

It was a good opportunity for the children to try several aspects of athletics and get them interested from a young age, Borthwick said.

“They try everything.

“The aim is to get them out there and having fun.”

He said if the children did not want to do a certain activity they did not have to.

Borthwick said there was a chance for the children to have coaching which would start next Thursday.

Debut for Trbojevic Manly forward Jake Trbojevic is in line for a shock Test debut after being drafted into the Kangaroos squad for the injured Josh Papalii.

Canberra’s Papalii was ruled out of tomorrow’s Test against New Zealand in Perth and Australia’s Four Nations campaign due to an ongoing ankle injury. Papalii carried the injury into Kangaroos camp and after struggling to train this week, the decision was made to replace him in the squad. - NZME

Puzzles and horoscopes www.guardianonline.co.nz Cryptic crossword

Friday, October 14, 2016

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You know fate can be cruel; you’ve seen your share of it, up close and personal. But you also know you’re the only one who can play your cards. Today you may have to bluff a bit to play the game well.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Winning today is a matter of knowing who is on your team, who needs to be won over and who is never going to get there. If you don’t know who your enemies are, you’re at a disadvantage.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You won’t be able to tell you’ve won them over. It’s a tough crowd.

Also, this situation is political, and people aren’t in a position to show everything that they are feeling about you. Just wait and see.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Over the course of this day your energy will get spent, you are reticent to give it away to anyone who’s going to squander the gift. In order to apply yourself well, you’ll have to be a little on the defensive.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): It takes tremendous effort to overcome mental limitations that have served you well. These rules you made for yourself kept you in a secure place. But now you don’t need them, and they’re only holding you back.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): When it works, you want to analyse the success so you can repeat the steps again. Don’t even bother with this today. There’s a magic here that can’t be quantified. Just enjoy it.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): What’s keeping you from your goal? Most likely, you just haven’t answered the question “Why?” What purpose will this aim serve? Therein lies your inspiration.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Your fantasy isn’t as far off as you think it is. Sure, there are still about 500 steps to take before you get your first sign that it’s “on,” but rest assured, these steps are all within your ability.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Someone you admire will reach out to you. It would be easy to respond with an enthusiasm uncomfortable for the other person to process, which is why it’s very important to play it cool today.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Lifting things beyond the typical weight you’d encounter in daily life will build your muscles. Doing things that fall outside of your social and emotional comfort zone will build your confidence.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): People want to get into great shape for the social validation this will bring, while actully the social validation is nothing compared to the benefits that come with increased vitality and self-esteem.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Is someone trying to define you by what you use or what you own?

Hopefully that someone isn’t you, because of course these things don’t and could never define you at all.

Ronda back in the ring Ronda Rousey will return to the UFC on December 30 in Las Vegas, fighting Amanda Nunes for the bantamweight title. UFC President Dana White confirmed yesterday that Rousey will be in the main event of UFC 207 at T-Mobile Arena. Rousey (12-1) hasn’t fought since November 2015, when Holly Holm stunned the unbeaten champion with a second-round knockout in Melbourne. Rousey became one of the world’s most popular female athletes during her meteoric rise through mixed martial arts.

An all-too-common sight in the last few weeks, another New Zealand wicket tumbling. This time it’s Luke Ronchi.

Tough start to summer

BY ANDREW ALDERSON A year ago, the chances of the New Zealand team breaking down four of their test cricketing barricades seemed realistic.

They had equalled the national record of going seven test series undefeated after drawing 1-1 in England.

They were in contention to: - challenge for their first series victory in Australia in 30 years.

- host Australia in pursuit of their first series victory, also in 30 years.

- play South Africa (sans AB de Villiers and Morne Morkel) in the hunt for their first series victory in 15 attempts.

- visit India and earn their first series victory in 11 attempts.

To suggest the Black Caps could clean sweep that list of audacious goals was preposter-

ous – New Zealand fans must be among the most realistic in the world – but to complete none of those objectives must rankle.

This is a team that, when coming off the high of making a maiden World Cup final last February, was among the most marketable in the game; blokes who played competitive cricket with spirit rather than spite.

They still match those criteria but their test credibility, as witnessed by the fourth innings capitulation at Indore, is wearing thin.

The starting XI could not be accused of inexperience.

Seven had played 20 or more tests and an eighth, Luke Ronchi, had played 94 first-class games across 15 seasons.

“We’re in a bit of a trough,” coach Mike Hesson summarised. “We were exposed in this

Nadal to miss Tour Finals P22

series against an experienced side in tough conditions.”

Upcoming selections for the home summer add extra spice to a seven-test menu, which includes two against Pakistan next month, two against Bangladesh in January and three against South Africa in March.

Martin Guptill struggled to score in the first two tests against India but looked New Zealand’s best batsman in the third with 72 and 29. The half century was his first in nine innings, a drought stretching to 87 against Zimbabwe in the second test at Bulawayo.

Before that it was 50 against Sri Lanka in Hamilton last December.

Fellow opener Jeet Raval, who was taken to Africa but didn’t play, remains the obvious replacement if there’s a change.

“Martin didn’t have a lot of luck,” Hesson said. “He was caught off his foot, bowled off his elbow and run out at the non-striker’s end. He’s found some different ways to get out.”

Hesson said a Pakistan-New Zealand ‘A’ match before the test series should firm up the squad to start the summer.

“I can guarantee [Jeet] is likely to be playing the New Zealand ‘A’ match. That game will help firm up our views.”

If Tim Southee remains fit, a five-way battle looms for three pace bowling spots with Trent Boult (new ball) and Neil Wagner (first change) expected to hold sway.

The key decision is whether Southee or Doug Bracewell can justify replacing Matt Henry, one of the better performers at Kolkata and Indore.

Nick Kyrgios was booed during a listless 6-3, 6-1 loss to Mischa Zverev at the Shanghai Masters this week, then angrily defended his behaviour by saying he didn’t owe the spectators anything and fans could “just leave” if they didn’t like his attitude. The Australian player, who is known for fiery outbursts and argumentative behaviour on court, put in little effort in the second-round match, just three days after winning the Japan Open. Chair umpire Ali Nili admonished Kyrgios for his behaviour in the first set, saying, “This is a professional tournament, you have to act like a professional.”

Wright grabs surf title Australian Tyler Wright has won her maiden world surfing title sparking emotional scenes on the beach at Hossegor in France. The 22-yearold claimed the title when her only rival, America’s Courtney Conlogue, was toppled in the semi-finals on Wednesday. The breakthrough victory caps a difficult 12 months for Wright, whose brother Owen has endured a very public recovery from a serious brain injury suffered while competing.
