More than $300,000 is owed to victims of crime in the Ashburton District, part of a $578 million national reparation and fines debt. Ministry of Justice figures show that for the year to June 30 outstanding reparation ordered in the Ashburton District Court totalled $298,527, with $30,061 outstanding from the Ashburton Youth Court. And while that amount might appear high, general manager collections, Bryre Patchell, said the ministry was committed to ensuring reparation was paid to victims and that it remained a credible sanction in New Zealand. “The ministry gives priority to collecting and enforcing the payment of reparation,” he said.
Ashburton’s unpaid reparation debt is a minnow among national figures, with the Christchurch District Court having $12.6 million worth of debt on its books. Timaru’s defaulters owe $1.3 million and Oamaru’s $400,000. The country’s largest debt has accumulated in the Manukau District Court, $14.2 million. People are given every incentive to pay their reparation debt, Mr Patchell said, including sanctions that can stop them travelling overseas or that can see drivers’ licences suspended. Judges also have been given the ability to re-sentence a person to prison or home detention if the reparation they have been ordered to pay is unenforceable or unaffordable, he said. Nationally the amount of outstanding reparation and fines has fallen by $80 million over the past five years.
Reparation payments vary, depending on a person’s income, whether they’re on a benefit or earning a wage or salary. They can also vary depending on whether the payment plan is voluntary or has been ordered by the court. The average amount is about $20 per week. At most Ashburton District Court sittings at least one person appearing is ordered to pay reparations. This year, the amount ordered has ranged from more than $14,000, with many ranging between $1000 and $1500, down to less than $50. The court can order an offender to pay a victim money if they have suffered emotional harm or had property damaged or lost as a result of a crime. The amount of reparation ordered is based on how much damage, loss or costs the victim has incurred and the offender’s ability to pay.

Lorde dismisses lip sync claims

Wednesday, November 18, 2015
Royals star Lorde has laughed off suggestions she was lip-syncing during her performance on US TV show Saturday Night Live. The 19-yearold singer performed on the sketch show on Saturday, along with British band Disclosure, singing the track Magnets. While fans enjoyed the performance, they suspected she was not singing live. Lorde has now set the record straight on Twitter. “Wow – the fact that some people thought i was lip syncing on snl is an awesome compliment!” she posted. “Goes without saying i have never/ will never haha (sic).” It seems the tweet did the job as hordes of fans reacted to the note, with one telling her it must just means she’s iconic.
Sheen HIV positive – reports Charlie Sheen is expected to announce that he is HIV positive in an exclusive TV interview. NBC said in a statement that Sheen, 50, would make a “revealing personal announcement” in a live interview on its morning Today show. NBC did not give details of the interview, but celebrity website TMZ, citing sources close to the Today show, said Sheen would use the interview to announce that he is HIV positive. Sheen’s representatives could not be reached for comment and Reuters was not able to verify reports on the state of his health. The National Enquirer tabloid reported yesterday, following an 18-month long investigation, that Sheen was diagnosed HIV positive some years ago. Sheen played the womanising bachelor Charlie Harper on top-rated comedy Two and A Half Men for eight years before being fired in 2011 for bad behaviour that included cocaine-fuelled partying with porn stars and a conviction for assaulting his ex-wife. The three times divorced Sheen then set up home with a number of porn stars he called “goddesses” and delivered a series of rants on YouTube boasting of having “tiger blood” in his veins. Sheen, the son of West Wing actor Martin Sheen, starred in the TV comedy Anger Management, which was closely based on his life, from 2012-2014.
Beckham defends use of skinny models Singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham is defending her decision to feature super-skinny models in her runway shows, insisting all the women who work for her are “healthy”. Earlier this year, the former Spice Girls star came under fire for using particularly slender models to wear her clothing on the catwalk, including 17-year-old Peyton Knight who faced a barrage of online criticism over her size. However, Victoria is adamant all the models who walk in her shows are checked out to make sure they are not ill or underweight. Victoria goes on to insist the online criticism was undeserved and mean-spirited: “People are mean on social media, whoever you are...”
NZ rat plague predicted A plague of rats could descend on New Zealand next year, an environmental group warns. Forest and Bird says a “pest plague” is on the cards next winter and spring. The group has issued its warning based on the level of beech flowering happening now. “An abundance of beech spring flowering will translate into an abundance of seed next autumn, known as ‘masting’, which in turn leads to an eruption of rat and stoat predator populations,” said Forest and Bird advocate Kevin Hackwell. Department of Conservation (DOC) monitoring had confirmed this “abundant beech flowering”. He said similar conditions happened in 2014, but DOC allocated funds toward pest control by delaying staff appointments. Mr Hackwell said that wasn’t possible this year and he urged the Government to allocate emergency funding for pest control. A “pest plague” would threaten the country’s endangered species and set back restoration and protection work, he said.

Winslet’s Oscar revenge Kate Winslet says winning her Oscar felt like her sweet revenge against school bullies. The 40-year-old actress, who was picked on as a youngster, scooped the best actress prize for her performance in The Reader at the 2009 ceremony, after receiving five previous nominations. She said: “I think bullying can take on different forms. It can come in ... the way of horrible isolation, intimidation and saying very unkind cruel things and that was the case for me. “So yeah, it was a pretty satisfying moment to be in the position I’m in now, today and to have won an Academy Award and to stand up there tall and proud and have achieved something great. It did certainly make the moment feel all the more sweeter, I think.” Winslet opened up about her tormented teenage years when she appeared on Running Wild With Bear Grylls, telling the explorer: “I was chubby, always had big feet, the wrong shoes, bad hair.”

■ LONGBEACH CHARITABLE TRUST
Willowby pool upgrade nears completion By CaitliN Porter
caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz
After 30 years without an upgrade, Willowby pool was well and truly due for a makeover. This year the Longbeach Charitable Trust spent months working to overhaul the Willowby Community Pool and the upgrade is nearing completion. Trust committee member Jayne McLaren said the upgrade is set to cost around $66,000 and officially began back in May. Around since 1925, the pool started off as a muddy creek, but was upgraded over time. “We were at the point where it desperately needed to have some things done to it, it wasn’t up to standard,” Mrs McLaren said. “We know what an asset it is and how lucky the kids are to have the pool right beside the school.” Situated on Ministry of Education land, the pool is a community resource and so no funding is provided by the ministry, rather it relies on community support. In an effort to raise funds, Longbeach School held events, including a mufti-day last week. Since May the concrete pool and surrounding area has been ripped up and re-poured, grass was re-sewn and a general tidy up was completed.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL
Hosing restrictions for some By Sue NewmaN
Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
Ashburton residents might be exempt from hosing restrictions this summer, but people living in rural towns will be on limited water days from Saturday. Last month the Ashburton District Council opted to introduce a hosing ban-free regime for Ashburton this summer, unless an emergency occurred or a problem arose within the supply. The free hosing summer, however, is only within Ashburton’s urban limits, from Saturday level one water restrictions (alternate hosing days) will apply to Chertsey, Fairton, Hakatere, Hinds, Mayfield, Methven, Mt Somers, and Rakaia. Hosing is not permitted at any time on the Dromore, Methven/
Alan Totty Springfield and Montalto water supplies. These water conservation measures will be in place until further notice. Restrictions apply to water from a hose connected to a council water supply, including garden irrigation systems.
The restrictions are used to even out demand and to ensure residents in those areas were able to enjoy reasonable use of water over the summer, council service delivery manager Neil McCann said. Ashburton would be restriction-free this summer to allow data to be collected on summer water consumption and this would enable the council to determine the effectiveness of SMART Watering, an Irrigation New Zealand education programme, he said. The council needed that data to upgrade its water policy and in urban Ashburton would be relying on a solid education policy that would help people understand when and how to water their gardens for maximum efficiency. Free watering, however,
could end if demand neared consented limits, Mr McCann said. The restrictions do not affect people on private bores. Bore owners can register with the council and will be given a ‘private well’ sign to display on their property. Over the summer, the council would closely monitor the district’s water demands, Mr McCann said, and would not hesitate to impose or upgrade restrictions if needed. If the council decided to scrap hosing restrictions in Ashburton, other towns in the district would not be happy, councillor Alan Totty warned, and the council would need to be ready with a good communications strategy. Making Ashburton a hosingban free zone this summer was approved by all councillors.
Tully trial delayed A trial for the man accused of last year’s Work and Income shootings in Ashburton, which was due to begin on Monday, has been delayed until next year. Homeless man Russell John Tully, 48, denies murdering Work and Income frontcounter workers Peggy Turuhira Noble, 67, and Susan Leigh Cleveland, 55, on September 1 last year. He is also accused of attempting to murder two other staff members - Lindy Louise Curtis, 43, who was shot in the leg and badly injured, and Kim Elizabeth Adams. Tully faces charges of murder and attempted murder, and other charges including theft, unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition, and setting a man-trap. Last week, it was announced that the two to three week-long trial, before Justice Cameron Mander, was to start on November 23. However, after a pre-trial conference at the High Court in Christchurch yesterday morning, it has now been delayed. All details of this morning’s conference have been suppressed. The trial won’t now happen until next year. A date will be set down later. Tully is remanded in custody.

Groundwater issues? Get in early By NadiNe Porter
NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz
ECan are urging farmers to get in contact with them if they anticipate having compliance or consenting issues as groundwater levels continue to drop dramatically as dry conditions bite. October groundwater levels in monitored wells showed record lows in coastal Mid Canterbury and in the Valetta area. Some early November monitoring has also been completed in Valetta, with wells continuing
to drop at record low levels. The ECan water resource report for October shows that rainfall, river flows and groundwater levels are still below average in the foothills and the plains. Groundwater levels in Canterbury were generally lower than the mean when compared to October records of previous years. There was some good news though, with groundwater levels in the inland southern Canterbury Plains and the Rangitata Orari Plain were at or above the
mean level. Communications adviser Phil Roberts said ECan recognised there was a lot of stress in the rural community as a result of the continuing drought and low dairy prices. “The combined effect on the regional economy will be felt by everyone in the region.” As a result ECan has been working closely with the primary industry, farmer groups and the Rural Support Trust to help our staff better understand the issues
facing farmers, he said. “The approach will be to continue to work with farmers as in recent years, via Canterbury’s water management zone committees.” Efficient water use would be vital, he said. “A number of small, simple changes can make a big difference towards making sure irrigation volumes last through to March,” Mr Roberts said. Making sure irrigation systems were correctly calibrated, meas-
uring water use and soil moisture levels and ensuring the right amount of water was applied at the right time were important. Meanwhile, the latest Niwa hotspot watch stated soil moisture conditions in most areas from north-east Canterbury to far northern Otago were experiencing much drier to severely drier conditions than normal soils for this time of year. Soil moisture levels were not projected to change in the short term.

Justine de Maroussem: ‘You can’t stop living your life’ By SuSaN SaNdyS
susaN.s@theguardiaN.co.Nz
Spending time with her friends is helping Justine de Maroussem get over the fear which comes with being in a city targeted by terrorists. The Ashburton 20-year-old is living near Paris for one year, working as an au pair, and had planned to meet up with friends for a drink on the night of the attacks. Her destination bar was just two minutes away from a restaurant where one of the mass shootings took place. However, she did not end up going because her host parents asked her to stay in and look after the children. She first heard of the attacks when a New Zealand friend text her to ask if she was okay. Her friends in France were, however, caught up in the chaos and with public transport cancelled they could not get out of the city. A social media “open doors” campaign made sure they were taken in off the street and given a bed for the night. She has since been to a memorial service at Notre Dame Cathedral and participated in a large street gathering where people were placing candles and flowers (above right). “We brought candles along. It was incredible. Despite how terrorists are trying to scare Paris, these people are still out paying their
respects,” Miss de Maroussem said. She said she did not want to feel scared in her day-to-day life in the area and being with friends helped her get over the fear. She plans to be in France until June next year. “I don’t think we should feel scared, you can’t let that get to you. You can’t stop living your life. That’s what I’m trying to do, just keeping on living my life.”

Organisers of the inaugural monthly Methven Arts and Crafts and Farmers’ Market on Sunday have been overwhelmed with stallholder entries. Methven Action Committee (MAC) chairman Richard Sheppard said committee members cut entries off at 50 and had to turn others away. Stallholders come from throughout Mid Canterbury and will be selling everything from farmers’ market supplies to jewellery and paintings. “We have even got somebody coming selling goldfish,” Mr Sheppard said. Busker Vojtech “Pango” Zamecnik, who has performed in Ashburton and brings his own piano, will play on the day and Methven Radio will be broadcasting.
The market is to be held in the Methven courtyard, next to The Mall and will be held again on December 20. There will also be a large one, held in conjunction with Mountain Thunder, at Easter. Meanwhile, MAC is also gearing up for its first annual music concert, involving headline acts and local musicians. Country ballad singer Eddie Low, known as the “voice in a million” will be the main headline act and Mr Sheppard was in the process of sourcing another. It will be held on February 20, 3pm to 10.30pm, in the Methven Domain. Entry will be by donation and funds will go to Methven Care Trust. MAC will stage its annual fire, ice and lights festival on Queen’s Birthday weekend.

Community workers ramp up job skills BY MICHELLE NELSON
MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Training in small machinery use and health and safety is helping equip offenders on community sentences in the Ashburton district to ramp up job skills and maintain a crime-free lifestyle. “Eighteen people on a community work sentence have now achieved their Standard Operating Procedure training,” Ashburton Corrections service manager Wendy Hampton said. With health and safety training obligatory in most occupations, Corrections staff hope the scheme will increase employment opportunities for participants by saving employers time and money. Research shows there is a strong correlation between employment and staying clear of further offending. “By making people on sentence with us more appealing to employers, they are more likely to get the job that can help them live crime free – everyone benefits,” Ms Hampton said. Training covers the safe operation of any power tools or equipment used in community work including lawn mowers, line trimmers and bench grinders. “Response from participants has been
really positive,” she said. “Many of the people we are working with haven’t had many achievements in their lives. Finding that they can do something like this, especially gaining a skill that can help them get a job, is a really positive experience for them.” “The course includes a practical session using the tools or equipment they have been learning about, so all participants get to learn from practical experience as well as being given the information in an oral and written form.” The people who have done the course represent 40 per cent of the community work offenders in Ashburton. “If we can get all these people positively engaged in employment and can help them move away from crime, then that has benefits for everyone in Ashburton.” Ms Hampton said. Meanwhile, Community Correction’s Canterbury district manager Lisa Taitua has confirmed there will be no cut back in community work supervisor numbers in Ashburton, as has been flagged in other parts of the country. The local service currently has three supervisors and also works with a number of local agencies.

Fundraising for new ambulance BY CAITLIN PORTER
CAITLIN.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Buy a toy and help out St John, it is that simple. St John has partnered with ASB in an effort to fundraise to add a new ambulance to its fleet. People can purchase a toy ambulance with all the proceeds going to St John. St John provides emergency services to almost 90 per cent of New Zealanders and is the only emergency service provider in Ashburton. It has 660 ambulances stationed throughout the country, two of which are based in Ashburton. Last year St John in Ashburton attended over 3000 emergency call-outs in Ashbur-
ton, utilising all of its eight paid staff and 16 volunteers. Nationally, St John attended 455,000 ambulance calls and traversed nearly 20 million kilometres. With such high demand for its services a new, fully equipped St John ambulance is needed – at a cost of $200,000. Funds from the 106-piece block set toy ambulances will go directly to St John, to help pay for the new ambulance. ASB general manager of branch banking Grant Gilbert said he has been delighted to see Kiwis take to the toy ambulances with enthusiasm, however, the number of ambulances sold in Ashburton could not be provided.

IHC Ashburton to celebrate 50th anniversary BY SUSAN SANDYS
SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
IHC Ashburton Association will mark its 50th anniversary this weekend, and two newly-built residential flats will be officially opened as part of the celebrations. Chairperson Rose Keen said it was exciting to be marking the milestone in Ashburton, which was fortunate it could boast a
locally-owned complex to meet client needs. A group of parents who had sons and daughters with an intellectual disability got together and fundraised and applied for grants in order to be able to purchase a block of land on State Highway 1 at Tinwald. Today it houses an administration building with offices and drop-in centre, as well as homes
providing accommodation and care. “That was a huge thing that they did and they did it in such a way that it’s still relevant to the service today.” The site has undergone various improvements over the years, with facilities let back to IDEA Services, the day-to-day care providing arm of IHC New Zealand. Recently, two new residential flats were built on the site, which

house two clients in supported living and one high-needs service user. The flats will be officially opened by Tony Rands, brother of the late Lorraine Rands, who passed away about four years ago. Ms Rands was a longtime Ashburton IHC service user who left a bequest to the organisation, which allowed it to fit out the flats. The flats will subsequently
be named Rands Flats. Anniversary celebrations will kick off with a social function and end-of-year dance on Friday night at the Ashburton Club and MSA, and about 100 are expected to attend. An open day will be held on the Saturday, at the IHC-IDEA Services complex at Tinwald, where Rands Flats will be opened at 11am.

Get to know Wastebusters BY CAITLIN PORTER
CAITLIN.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Wastebusters is ready to open its doors to the public. For the first time Wastebusters will hold an open evening, to educate Mid Cantabrians about its services. Wastebusters educator Katie Esler said there will be a compost demonstration, site tour and a silent auction as well as childrens activities on offer. It was even rumoured Santa would be making an appearance, she said. Mrs Esler said there were many aspects of Wastebusters – from the recycling depot to education around reusing and reducing and even the reuse shop. The open night was not only a way to show off how Wastebusters can help the community, but it was also a way to thank them, she said. “It is a way for us to say thanks, we don’t have any funding, we [Wastebusters] don’t have council contracts so really we rely on the community’s support. “If they were not dropping off items in the shop, buying from the shop or recycling, we wouldn’t be able to keep the doors open.”

Protesters give delegates a rough welcome Delegates arriving at a defence industry conference in a Wellington are getting a rough welcome. The Defence Industry Annual Forum began at the TSB Arena yesterday and dozens of vocal protesters were at the front door. Suited conference delegates were being greeted with boos and those entering the front door were being squeezed by the throng, which police were holding back. The protesters were shouting “warmongers, out out out” and “arms trade, the death trade”. There had been several scuffles with police. “Good luck to them. They are entitled to do it,” said one man arriving for the forum, which is principally sponsored by global defence giant Lockheed Martin. The protest is organised by Peace Action Wellington. - NZME

The man got into difficulty and a 27-year-old then dived into help. Both men are believed to have drowned and their bodies were recovered about midday yesterday. Just after 2pm yesterday the arborists turned up at the scene with council staff and began chopping down all the low hanging branches from all trees on the river’s edge. - NZME

■ DEPORTATION
Urgent law change sought A plane chartered by the Australian Government with about 20 serious criminals is due to land in New Zealand as early as Thursday. The Government was yesterday seeking to urgently pass legislation to enable deportees from Australia to be monitored in the same way as if they had served prison time here. Justice Minister Amy Adams said she understood the majority of the deportees on the plane would come from the detention centre on Christmas Island, and that some had committed serious crimes. “I understand they have sent information dossiers in respect of each of the people arriving ... we have a rough idea of the types of offences ... they certainly include sexual violence, serious violence, robbery.” Labour has said it has no choice but to support the urgent law change, but has criticised the Government for being much too slow to react to the issue. Following a law passed by Australia a year ago, resident visa holders who have served a term of imprisonment for a year or more automatically lose the right to reside in Australia – it used to be two years or more. Ms Adams defended the Government’s response, saying the Australian law had been passed three days before Christmas, and she was first briefed on it in February. She said it was her understanding that murderers, rapists and child sex offenders were among the criminals who had already
7
been deported to New Zealand this year, and who were under no obligation to cooperate with authorities. “Murderers, rapists and sex offenders have been coming to New Zealand unsupervised for years and years and years,” Ms Adams said. “This is not a new issue. What we are now having is more of them.” Ms Adams has previously said that existing supervision orders could be used to monitor the most serious offenders. Asked why none had been used, given recent deportees have included those convicted of very serious crimes, she said that was a matter for the chief executive of Corrections, Ray Smith. “I haven’t been through the risk profile of any of the offenders who have arrived, that is his job, his role.” Labour leader Andrew Little this morning said his party had no choice but to support the urgent legislation. “The reality is, the Government has handled this so badly. A situation they have known nearly a year ago was upon us, they have now introduced legislation to deal with it. “They have a plane load of roughly 20 deportees ready to come out of Australia. For the sake of New Zealanders’ safety and security, we won’t have much choice but to support it.” The plane to arrive this week will carry New Zealand citizens who have lodged appeals against their deportation from Australia. - NZME

Traffic signals? If you can afford them Sue Newman
ACTING EDITOR
T
he installation of traffic signals on busy streets appears to have nothing to do with need, everything to do with money. People living in the Christchurch suburb of Redcliffs will be quietly smiling at the commissioning of a new set of signals along their main street, on a corner dominated by a new supermarket. These signals were installed in spite of a report written just three years ago that indicated lights were not needed; that the only really busy time at this intersection was on a Sunday afternoon. Move south to Ashburton. We have State Highway 1 running through town. It is busy, if not super busy from early morning until well after close of business five days of the week. It’s incredibly busy for most of the weekend and, come a holiday weekend, it’s bumper to bumper. It’s not uncommon for traffic through Ashburton to be logjammed from Racecourse Road to the Tinwald Saleyards. And that’s the traffic that’s supposed to be flowing through town, that the New Zealand Transport Agency says is not of sufficient volume to warrant traffic lights in Tinwald – or for it to foot the bill for Ashburton’s planned second bridge over the Ashburton River. We’ve been promised relief at Walnut Avenue with lights at both the West Street and East Street intersections, but that project keeps slipping back on the agency’s to-do list. And in Tinwald, what started out as a traffic light focused project has now conveniently been renamed The Tinwald Corridor Project. This, of course, opens the problem up to a range of solutions, from traffic signals at one end to a few road markings at the other. To anyone who drives that stretch of highway regularly, it’s a problem that needs multiple solutions, possibly both a roundabout and traffic signals. A condition imposed on the new supermarket planned for the corner of South Street and the highway was that, at their own expense, the developer installed traffic signals. It should follow, then, that if the community offered to fund signals in Tinwald, then NZTA should look favourably on that option, tick the boxes and clear the red tape that would allow the work to be done. The question is, how much do we want them?

his communication has come my way and possibly yours; I wonder what you think of it. With another Waitangi Day in the offing the tension is more than likely to rise. Beneath a bright blue and white photo of a glass of water entitled “Kiwi” being poured into another labelled “Iwi” the following message is presented. I quote: Are you ready to give up water? Yes. It’s really come to that. While you have been debating whether or not to give up your flag, your Government has been preparing to give up control of your drinking water. On Waitangi Day (last) iwi leaders issued an ultimatum to the Government to surrender control of the nation’s fresh water to Maori tribes within a year (on record). And believe it or not, your Government is complying. Co-governance. No comeback. In April the Government met with iwi leaders to work out how to manage the surrender. Together they decided to hand over control of fresh water to iwi at regional council level, catchment by catchment, council by council. Those regional councils and unitary authorities will then appoint unelected iwi representatives and give them voting rights to control the water. Iwi want priority rights to water in perpetuity. Memorandum says: “Iwi trumps Kiwi”. It gets worse. While iwi leaders have been busy consulting people about the plan, your Government has been hiding it from you. Their trick: to let councils sneak in water control clauses to complex water management plans. In August, Local Government, New Zealand, agreed to a memorandum of understanding with the Iwi Chairs Forum that they: “acknowledge the mana and kaitiatanga status of iwi over the nation’s land and natural resources”. Is that fine with you? How can this be happening? Since 2008,the Maori Party, supported by 1 per cent of New Zealanders, has effectively held the balance of power in Parliament. And, with it, the power to demand 50 per cent, co-governance of your natural resources.

(Then follow suggestions and instructions as to what we could and should do about this developing situation.) It’s quite a mouthful but comes from a “normally reliable source” and certainly bears thinking about. Indeed, the Maori Party has punched well above its weight since it swallowed its scruples seven years ago and accepted the then new PM’s invitation to join his National administration and thus, at last, be able to access real power instead of facing opposi-
tion in perpetuity. The suggestion that the tiny party has, in effect, held the balance of parliamentary power ever since, is hardly more than the truth. National would have been struggling to govern without it and its very few members, Tariana Turia and Pita Sharples, in particular. Mr Peters may see himself as the “King Maker in Waiting” come 2017 but the Maori Party will occupy that role until then, at least. As for the water issue, the PM is very much on record as having asserted that the nation’s fresh water resources “belong to all New Zealanders”, so if there are deals being done, as sug-

In brief Conviction appealed Former pop star Gary Glitter who was found guilty of sexually abusing three schoolgirls - is challenging his conviction. His application will be heard by three judges at the Court of Appeal in London yesterday. Glitter, 71, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was jailed for 16 years in February. A jury at Southwark Crown Court found him guilty of one count of attempted rape, one of unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under 13, and four counts of indecent assault. Glitter was found guilty of abuse relating to a girl aged 12, one of 13, and another aged under 10, committed when he was at the height of his fame. - PA

It’s been 12 years since Wilkinson broke the hearts of Australian rugby fans when in extra time he kicked a drop goal in the final minute to secure England’s first Rugby World Cup title. The 36-year-old brought the curtain down on his glittering career last year by masterminding Toulon’s secondstraight Heineken Cup win. - PA

Hollande targets Syria By GreG Keller France identified a 27-year-old Belgian who once boasted about killing “infidels” and fought for the Islamic State group in Syria as the mastermind of the Paris attacks, and President Francois Hollande vowed yesterday to forge a united coalition capable of defeating the jihadists at home and abroad. Addressing lawmakers after France observed a minute of silence honoring the 129 people killed and 350 wounded, Hollande said the victims came from at least 19 nations, and the international community, led by the United States and Russia, must overcome their deep-seated divisions over Syria to destroy Islamic State on its home turf. “Friday’s acts of war were decided and planned in Syria. “They were organised in Belgium and perpetrated on our soil with French complicity with one specific goal: to sow fear and to divide us,” Hollande told Parliament in a rare joint session convened at the Palace of Versailles. “Syria has become the biggest factory of terrorism the world has ever known and the international community is still too divided and too incoherent.” As he spoke, thousands gathered around candlelit memorials at the Place de la Republique square and beneath the Eiffel Tower, which like many top at-
tractions in one of the world’s most-visited cities reopened for business yesterday in a defiant spirit. The tower was bathed in red, white and blue floodlights of the French tricolor, with the city’s centuries-old slogan - “Tossed but not sunk,” suggesting an unsinkable city braving stormy seas - projected in white lights near its base.
“
The official cited chatter from IS figures that Abaaoud had recommended a concert as an ideal target for inflicting maximum casualties, as well as electronic communications between Abaaoud and one of the Paris attackers who blew himself up. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive investigation. Abaaoud came to public atten-
Syria has become the biggest factory of terrorism the world has ever known
French and other Western intelligence agencies face an urgent challenge to track down the surviving members of the three Islamic State units who inflicted the unprecedented bloodshed in France and, perhaps more importantly, to target their distant commanders in IS-controlled parts of Syria. A French security official said anti-terror intelligence officials had identified Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a Belgian of Moroccan descent, as chief architect of the Friday the 13th attacks on a rock concert, a soccer game and popular nightspots in one of Paris’ trendiest districts.
tion last year by boasting in an IS propaganda video about his pride in piling the dead bodies of “infidel” enemies into a trailer. Anti-terror agencies previously linked him to a series of abortive shooting plots this year in Belgium and France, including a planned attack on a passenger train that was thwarted by American passengers who overpowered the lone gunman. French police have used emergency powers to conduct 168 searches that netted 127 arrests and 31 weapons. French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said police seized a Kalashnikov assault ri-
fle, three automatic pistols and a bulletproof vest from a suspected arms dealer with jihadist sympathies, and a rocket launcher and other military-grade gear from his parents’ home. But police have yet to announce the capture of anyone suspected of direct involvement in Friday’s slaughter. President Hollande said he hoped to meet soon with Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin, who were attending the G-20 summit of nations in Antalya, Turkey. The two leaders maintained a frosty demeanor, reflecting strained relations over Russia’s support for Syrian President Bashar Assad and Russia’s go-it-alone pursuit of airstrikes against both IS and anti-IS rebels in the country, a strategy that bolsters Assad. In hopes of killing Islamic State organisers and trainees, France yesterday launched its heaviest airstrikes yet on the city of Raqqa. Paris remains on edge amid three days of official mourning. French troops have deployed by the thousands in support of police to restore a sense of security, but any sound of loud bangs can send people scurrying for cover. Panic ensued Sunday night as police abruptly cleared mourners from the Place de la Republique square, where police said firecrackers sparked a false alarm. - AP
Nearly half of the 50 US states have moved to shut the door on Syrian refugees as Republican politicians urged a halt to the resettlement programme, citing security fears following the Paris attacks. President Barack Obama pushed back, criticising “shameful” calls to screen the refugees fleeing the war-torn country based on their religion. But Obama faced a barrage of pressure from at least 22 Republican-led states, GOP presidential candidates, key members of Congress, and in one case a Democratic governor to suspend a program to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees on US soil in 2016. - AFP
Word of the Year In, perhaps, the ultimate reflection of modern communication, the word of the year chosen by Oxford Dictionaries is not a word at all, but an emoji. The icon of a yellow smiling face with two tears welling up in its eyes known as “face with tears of joy” - was picked as the word or expression that has best captured the mood of 2015. A staple of teenagers sending text messages, the use of emojis in digital communications has exploded into mainstream culture over the past year, with US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton trying to be hip by using them. - PA

In brief
■ MONOPOLY POWER
IPO considered
Call for reform submissions rather than the purpose test currently legislated for, which would reflect the approach taken by the Australian Competition and Consumer Act, and the approach recommended in a 2013 review into Australia’s competition policy. That option was put forward by Labour MP Clayton Cosgrove in late 2013 as an addition to a separate piece of legislation that would criminalise cartels, but was rejected seven months later by then-Commerce Minister Craig Foss who preferred to review the provision through the government’s Business Growth Agenda. Other options canvassed in the paper include maintaining the status quo while inserting
guidance to direct the courts in a different way, amending the law to remove a requirement a firm is only in breach if it’s taken advantage of its market power, or a combination of removing the ‘take advantage’ requirement and introducing an ‘effects’ test. The paper is also open to other options put forward by submitters. MBIE is also seeking feedback on the Commerce Commission’s alternatives to court action, with the settlements regime weak because it’s based on contractual arrangements and don’t generate case law, while a ‘cease and desist’ process has only been used once over 14 years and is seen as the main problem. - NZME

The magic of diversification P
reviously I’ve mentioned diversification as being one of the keys of successful investing. Although commonly misunderstood, diversification is one of the most celebrated concepts in economics and forms the basis of almost all professional investing. Why is diversification so highly regarded? In theory, it lowers overall risk and volatility in your portfolio without lowering your overall expected returns. In plain English, it means more certainty you can reach your investment goals without having to invest in riskier assets. Let’s take a deeper look at this powerful concept. With investing there are two types of risk you can face – systematic risk is that which all investment markets inevitably face such as inflation, interest rates and natural disasters. These risks can’t be avoided and must simply be accepted by all investors. The other type of risk is called diversifiable risk and is risk associated with individual investments, such as a company collapse.
■
Chris Crouchley MONEY TALKS
■
This risk you can reduce or even eliminate by buying a large number of companies because although individual investments may fail, whole markets do not. You can break one pencil, you can’t break 50 pencils together. So how do you diversify? A lot of people are often sold “diverisified portfolios” when in reality they are concentrated within the same asset class, sector and geographic location. To diversify correctly you must diversify on a number levels: ■ Diversify your assets – invest in different asset classes such as property, shares, bonds and bank deposits. ■ Diversify your markets – the New Zealand market is a mere speck in the investing universe and has poor exposure to many globally important sectors such as technology, materials and fi-
nancials such as banks. Diversify your timing – it’s often impossible to know when the largest market movements are going to happen and therefore the best strategy is to consistently contribute a set amount to your investment fund. Diversify your managers – different investment managers have different styles and preferences, and your investment management shouldn’t be reliant on one person.
The best way to achieve diversification is through managed funds which can invest in hundreds of individual investments at a small cost to each investor due to economies of scale. There are a wide range of funds which can cater to most investors’ needs and goals. It might be a good idea to have an honest look at your portfolio and see if there isn’t room to decrease the diversifiable risk in your portfolio.

A government paper into the abuse of monopoly power has thrown up an option aligning New Zealand with Australia’s approach, which was previously shot down by the Crown 16 months ago in favour of reviewing the law. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment is calling for submissions on specific provisions of the Commerce Act, which it says aren’t fit for purpose in that they fail to punish anticompetitive conduct by powerful firms to the detriment of consumers, are too complex for costeffective and timely application, and aren’t appropriately aligned
with other prohibitions and their international equivalents. The issues paper focuses on the monopoly power provisions of the Commerce Act, which the Productivity Commission last year said needed examining as to “whether other approaches offer greater accuracy in identifying situations where firms have taken advantage of market power and damaged dynamic efficiency with consequent detriments to competition, innovation and/or productivity.” While the paper doesn’t have a preference for reform, it puts forward four potential options. Among those would be introducing a test on the effect of conduct in damaging the market
AFT Pharmaceuticals, the Aucklandbased pharmaceutical company, is considering a $49 million initial public offering along with listing on the NZX and ASX. The proposed offer involves a primary raise of $45 million, and a $4 million selldown by the Atkinson Family Trust, which owns 87 per cent of the company. AFT, which was founded in 1997, made a loss of $12.9 million for the year ended March 31, on revenue of $56.2 million. - NZME

Healthy Christmas treats
I
t’s a scary thing when the word Christmas starts appearing around town. The year ticks by but just how quickly is hammered home when the C word arrives. And with less than six weeks until Christmas Day, inevitably magazines are starting to trot out recipes and menus that will tempt and, of course, blow diets out the window. The good food magazine New Zealand Healthy Food always endeavours to put a healthconscious spin on even the most wicked of foods and its December issue (like all magazines out well ahead of its actual date), it’s talking Christmas.

Kennedy-Clark putting out an original album By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Ashburton country music singer Liam Kennedy-Clark is carving out a career for himself in the music industry in Australia. The 18-year-old left earlier this year for the Sunshine Coast, one of the biggest places for music and performance in Australasia, with a main motorway through the area and lots of venues. “I am loving life over here,” Liam said this week. The former Ashburton College pupil said he was performing regularly, with the number of gigs increasing “bit by bit”. “I generally travel anywhere
between Brisbane to Noosa or Gympie for my gigs,” Mr Kennedy-Clark said. A recent gig included the Birdsville horse races. The small dustbowl town has a population of about 100 which swells for the event each year, this time reaching about 9000. “It was a good experience … having to travel 24 hours out, and 24 hours back home. No less than three flat tyres too,” he said. When moving to the Sunshine Coast, Mr Kennedy-Clark already had contacts there after having competed and performed at Tamworth in recent years. He is a graduate of the Tam-
worth CCMA Academy of Country Music, having won a scholarship there previously. He will be back at the school again soon, having recently been awarded a scholarship to attend a senior course for drumming. The academy runs a senior instrumental course where they form a band beforehand and Mr Kennedy-Clark has been selected to be the drummer in the band. He is recording a new album, and has an online fundraiser at gofundme.com where people can pre-order it on CD, which he is entirely self-producing, engineering and mixing. The album is to feature 11 orig-
November 22 @ 11.30am-4pm
inal songs, “all of which are written about things that are close to me in some way or another”, Mr Kennedy-Clark said. He said his journey had been great so far, although he did miss his family back in Ashburton. “But it’s all good because this is exactly what I want to be doing. I’m pursuing what I love doing and that’s the biggest thing.” He was planning on being back in Ashburton for a couple of visits next year, the main one for the mid-year Gold Guitar Awards in Gore. He was also planning a show in Ashburton on May 28 with a range of artists joining him.

In brief Murray, Nadal dominant Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal produced emphatic responses to the critics as they kicked off their ATP Tour Finals campaigns in dominant fashion yesterday. Murray silenced the doubters who claimed he was distracted by dreams of Davis Cup glory with a gritty 6-4 6-4 win over David Ferrer, while Nadal, beset by problems during the worst year of his career, showed he isn’t finished yet with a 6-3 6-2 thrashing of French Open champion Stan Wawrinka. - AFP
McDowell’s wait over Graeme McDowell said he hopes his first PGA Tour victory in more than two years can act as a springboard to Major championship glory after clinching a play-off victory in the weather-hit OHL Classic at Mayakoba. The 36-yearold Northern Irishman has endured a miserable 2015, failing to post a top 10 finish while watching his world ranking slide as low as 80th, way down from his peak position of fourth in 2011. But the European Ryder Cup star wiped away the disappointment when play resumed at the El Camaleon Golf Club on Monday, winning a threeway play-off to defeat Jason Bohn of the United States and Scotland’s Russell Knox. - AFP
Coach hails Diarra Ryan Feutz is continuing his football education at the Olé Football Academy in Wellington.

■ FOOTBALL
Ryan on the right track By James Ford
James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz
Ryan Feutz’s football development is continuing at the Olé Football Academy in Wellington, after returning from the Cracks CF Academy in Valencia, Spain, in July. The 14-year-old spent four months in Europe, where he participated in two intense training sessions a day, played matches within the academy scene and was exposed to some of the finest tactical and technical coaching available. On his return to New Zealand, Ryan was accepted by both Wellington Phoenix and Olé Acad-
emies following trials, but chose the latter and is now improving his game and continuing his education through long-distance learning in the capital. Feutz is most effective in the number 10 role, which, as well as scoring, is often involved in passing moves that lead to goals, thanks to their vision, technique, ball control, creativity, and passing ability. Some of the finest players in world football have made the diverse position their own, from the likes of Maradona and Johan Cruyff to modern-day maestros Lionel Messi and Francesco Totti.
Ryan’s father, Greg, said his goal-scoring son is enjoying his new surroundings and is hoping for a settled period in which the coaches in Porirua can continue to nurture the young player’s talent. “He’s settled in well, he’s happy with the training and the quality of the squad around him, so he’s getting pushed. “His football’s improving and he’s on the right track,” he said. Ryan said the coaching at the Olé Academy is similar to what he experienced when he was in Spain, with a focus on short passing and movement, working the ball through various chan-
nels and maintaining possession. “It’s really good, even with the small amount of time I’ve been here I’ve improved - the speed of passing, accuracy, movement, everything,” said Ryan. With plenty of development and learning ahead, Ryan’s goals remain the same – to continue to work hard with the hope of one day donning the white of Real Madrid, like his favourite player, Cristiano Ronaldo. “I’d like to make it to one of the top leagues and one of the top teams; Real Madrid, I like their style of play, more so than other teams,” he said.
Mourinho still has support, says Fabregas Chelsea’s extraordinary slump has been keeping Cesc Fabregas awake at night, and the Spaniard believes that the crisis can be resolved only through open internal dialogue and collective hard work. Chelsea have already lost more English Premier League matches than in any previous season under Jose Mourinho, but Fabregas was again adamant that the club’s most successful manager still retained the support of the players.
Asked if his concern about Chelsea’s form had been preventing him from sleeping, Fabregas said: “Yes, when things don’t go right”. “Sometimes when I am at home, in bed, I wonder. “You have your own thoughts and the manager will have his thoughts about what is going on and it is all about talking about things and putting this right all together. “Football is my life. It is everything to me. My family keep me
happy sometimes but when football does not go well, my life is not happy.” Chelsea’s next Premier League fixture is at home against Norwich City on Sunday when the club will be trying to arrest a sequence of three consecutive Premier League defeats and Fabregas again rejected any suggestion the players no longer backed their manager. “I cannot support him even more than I am doing,” the Spain midfielder said.
“I am always saying he deserves it, 100 per cent. We are not playing well but that does not mean we are not in favour of the manager or something like that. We want to win for Chelsea.” Fabregas also stressed how important it could be for Chelsea if Diego Costa started scoring more regularly. “The striker is the most important player on the pitch. You can play well, defend well, but it is about scoring goals, about scoring one more goal.” - AP
France coach Didier Deschamps said yesterday that his players had been moved by their grieving team-mate Lassana Diarra’s decision to remain with the squad following the Paris terror attacks. Diarra’s cousin, Asta Diakite, who the Marseille midfielder described as “a big sister”, was one of the 129 people killed during the rolling attacks that struck Paris last Friday. But he elected to remain with the squad preparing for their friendly against England, along with team-mate Antoine Griezmann, whose sister escaped the Bataclan massacre. - AFP
Ireland into Euros Ireland qualified for next year’s European Championship yesterday as Jonathan Walters returned from suspension to score both goals in a 2-0 victory over BosniaHerzegovina and secure a 3-1 aggregate win in their playoff. Walters converted a penalty in the 24th minute after Ervin Zukanovic was harshly adjudged to have handled Daryl Murphy’s cross. The Stoke forward all but confirmed Ireland’s ticket to France with his second goal to set off celebrations at the Aviva Stadium. It will be Ireland’s second consecutive European Championship, while Bosnia also lost in the playoffs in 2012. - AFP
Wembley under guard Armed police were present inside London’s Wembley Stadium while France conducted a training session at the ground ahead of the friendly against England as part of increased security measures following the Paris attacks. The bulk of British police officers, unlike many of their counterparts elsewhere in the world, do not carry guns as part of their day-to-day equipment and it is rare to see armed police at a sporting fixture in the UK, let alone a training session. - AFP

In brief Johnson retirement Mitchell Johnson has made a lowkey exit from international cricket, confirming in a statement that the WACA Test will be his last. Johnson will finish as one of Australia’s most revered pacemen, his 37 wickets in the 2013-14 Ashes burned into the memory of most cricket fans. Johnson was renowned for his express pace, ferocious bounce and capacity to intimidate. So something was clearly amiss in Perth, where the left-armer looked somewhat indifferent as New Zealand walloped him all over the park. Cricket Australia released a statement yesterday, confirming Johnson’s 73rd Test would be his last. - AAP

Australian players not congratulating Ross Taylor at the end of his brilliant 290 only makes the superb innings even sweeter, says former New Zealand cricketer John Morrison. The Australian side have come under criticism for not shaking Taylor’s hand after he was dismissed for the best ever score on Australian soil. Morrison marks Taylor’s knock as one of the best he’s ever seen by a New Zealand batsman. “He’s made that score against what’s regarded as one of the most hostile attacks in the world and probably the best bowler in the world at the moment, when chasing 550 odd - it’s a very special performance.” - NZME
Odds swing wildly The Black Caps’ fluctuating fortunes in the second test against Australia have been reflected in rapidly changing betting odds over the first four days of the match. Heading into the match following a heavy first test defeat in Brisbane, New Zealand were given little chance of squaring the ledger in Perth. Brendon McCullum’s side were classed as rank outsiders paying $4 against the highly fancied home team who were priced at $1.40, with an unlikely draw starting at $7.50. Going into day three, the tide began to turn slightly, with an Australian victory extending to $1.25, and the Black Caps’ prospects shortening to $15, and the draw dropping to $4.25. TAB bookmaker Mark Stafford has been surprised by the degree of changing fortunes in the test after New Zealand’s prospects looked so bleak prior to their arrival in Western Australia. “We were afforded no chance whatsoever to win, they were paying moon money,” Stafford said. - NZME
Holm ‘compassionate’ Holly Holm sent Ronda Rousey down - and then did all she could to pick her up. Holly Holm has revealed what she told Rousey after her shock UFC bantamweight victory over the previously invincible Rousey, a result which has grabbed worldwide attention. The 16-1 outsider told news.com.au that she hasn’t spoken to Rousey since the contest, but did share a quiet word with her after the referee stopped the contest at Melbourne’s Etihad Stadium. Holm said: “I told her I appreciate her and the reason why any of us have this opportunity is because she’s been able to come in and make waves. I appreciate that about her and she’s been a good champion.” - AAP

Cup hopes for Woodville prospect Margaret Larsen is confident Café Culture can make his mark over ground and to that end she has this week entered the sixyear-old in the country’s premier distance event. “I’ve nominated him for the Auckland Cup,” the Waipukurau owner-trainer said. “Based on his work and everything about him, my prediction is that he will stay all day. “I’m no expert and haven’t trained that many horses, but I think he will. “At the moment I’m happy to take him through his grades and we’ll see where we end up.” Café Culture will step up to a mile in the New World Pahiatua Handicap at Woodville on Thursday after finishing out of the money for the first time in his career when resuming at Awapuni last month. “He’s a big horse and he needs to be out in the open with a clear run,” Larsen said. “He didn’t get that at all last time so I’m definitely hoping for better luck.” From his previous five starts, Café Culture had collected three

The decorated career of the recently-retired New Zealand jockey Jim Cassidy will be acknowledged at Rosehill on Saturday. The Kiwi hoop is one of only seven riders to win Australia’s Group One grand slam of the Golden Slipper, Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup.

18/11 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY
YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Your sophisticated mind is capable of nailing all the day’s challenges, including the challenge of appreciating one whose nature is very different from your own. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You have compassion for tourists because you know what it’s like to be out of your element and lost. New places can seem overwhelming. Everyone needs a guide. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The need to please can be an asset or an illness. Today it’s the latter, separating you from what it is you really want. You’ll catch yourself doing too much to make someone happy. Stop and ask, “Why?” CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Life can be frustrating, especially when it revolves around technology, language, and other things you do not understand. That person who can translate will be worth their weight in gold today. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Your goal isn’t unlike the goal of tech companies — you want others to have a positive user experience when interacting with you. This will lead to getting many of your needs fulfilled. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Like a hawk you’ll use your keen vision and bird’s-eye perspective to hunt for what you need. You can rest assured that getting what you want will keep the natural order. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): This winding road is a test of faith. You can’t see very far ahead. Each bend requires you to trust there is more road on the other side, and that it will eventually lead to your destination. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): When you witness desire, you subconsciously put yourself in the desiring person’s place. You want that to pay off. If it pays off for another, it could pay off for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ve come to a mental sticking point. To get unstuck, you’ll need to do some juggling. Move things around. Change your schedule. Alter the placement of your furniture. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Not all upgrades are improvements. Keep this in mind before you part with your cash. The ones who want you to make a purchase may be thinking about their own needs. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): It would be tempting to surround yourself with “yes” people. So many want to agree with you! True friends will support you when you’re right and tell you when you’re wrong. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): There are times when you tolerate, or perhaps even enjoy, a bit of excitement and drama in your personal life. But right now, you’ll welcome the quiet tranquillity of peaceful relationships.

Basketballers Australia-bound BY JAMES FORD
JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Seven young Mid Canterbury basketballers will be jetting across the Tasman to hone their
playing skills at the Great Murray River Jamboree in Albury, New South Wales on November 27. The youngsters have been busy
raising more than $5000 to fund their trip to the jamboree, which has been developed to provide budding players with coaching clinics, activities and matches.
Mid Canterbury Basketball Association secretary Pauline Paterson said that the Jamboree’s focus is not solely based on winning, but team building, par-
ticipation and enjoyment of the game. The training camp will run from November 28 to December 1.
All Blacks future looking brighter with re-signings Captain Richie McCaw might be on the verge of announcing his retirement but the All Blacks machine goes on and re-signed a couple of key cogs yesterday. Assistant coach Ian Foster and forwards coach Mike Cron have extended their contracts with New Zealand Rugby through to 2017 - the same time coach Steve Hansen’s expires.
News of their signing came on the same day as that of first fiveeighths Lima Sopoaga, who has signed a new three-year deal with NZR and Super Rugby champions the Highlanders. NZR chief executive Steve Tew said the bulk of the All Blacks management team had also recommitted to the national side. Defence coach Wayne Smith
Mourinho ‘still has supporters’ P15
has indicated he will take a year off from fulltime rugby coaching, and All Blacks performance analyst Alistair Rogers is taking up an assistant coaching role with the Blues. Foster has been alongside Hansen since 2012 and the All Blacks have won 49 of their 54 tests since then, with two draws and just three losses.
“It’s been an honour and a privilege to have worked for the All Blacks over the last few years and to help the team achieve its goals, including winning the Rugby World Cup, and I look forward to getting stuck into next season after the summer break,” Foster said. There had been speculation Cron might finish as forwards
coach but has committed to another two years. Sopoaga has played 49 games for the Highlanders and made his All Blacks test debut this year against the Springboks in South Africa. Sopoaga is likely to feature more regularly for the All Blacks next season after the retirement from international rugby of Dan Carter. - NZME
