Weka theft ‘gutting’ BY LINDA CLARKE

INSIDE

Thieves who stole some 30 protected weka from the Riverbridge Conservation Area risk a $100,000 fine and up to two years in jail. Though the punishment would be worse if Russell Langdon were handing it out. The Mid Canterbury farmer has spent 16 years developing 20 acres of land near the Ashburton River into an eco-sanctuary where endangered and protected birds, fish and plants can breed or grow. He has created a living museum of life on the Canterbury Plains 100 years ago. His buff weka population had grown from just a couple of birds several years ago to around 30 – until this week. Buff weka have been extinct on the Plains since the 1920s.

He brought his regular treat for the cheeky birds – bread, pellets and a couple of Sim’s pies – last Sunday morning, but they were noshows. A bit of detective work revealed tyre tracks around the perimeter of the conservation area and not a weka to be found. He waited until yesterday before calling the police, in case the flightless birds resurfaced. He says the evidence pointed to a trespasser, with a dog, hunting the weka on his private land. He believes just one bird was lucky enough to survive the raid.

■ MID CANTERBURY PRESCHOOLS

Keep children at home if ill

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

With winter around the corner Mid Canterbury preschools are urging parents to be vigilant around their child’s health. Sending a child to preschool when they are showing symptoms of illness increases the chance of infecting others and causes problems for the centres with illnesses making their rounds. Most preschools ask parents to err on the side of caution and keep their child at home if they

appear under the weather. Methven Preschool manager Trish Powell said winter is a difficult time as common ailments such as coughs and colds are at their highest. “Our policy is to ask parents to be vigilant when diagnosing their child’s health at home. “They know their child best so if they are not their normal self they should be kept at home.” Children with a rise in temperature, glassy eyes, flu-like symptoms, persistent coughs and con-

stant runny noses should be kept at home until these symptoms cease, she said. “We have a notice at reception especially in winter reminding and advising parents/caregivers of the rules.” If a child gets ill while at preschool they are isolated with a staff member until picked up. Hannah ‘n’ Henry co-owner Suzanne Fagan said her preschool has strong policies in regards to illness and any child who has been put on antibiotics must stay

away for 24 hours. Any child who has had vomiting or diarrohea needs to stay home for 48 hours. “It’s absolutely important … if children are unwell we ask them to stay at home. “It’s just a really good thing to do.” It ensures children are no longer contagious but also that they are well enough to come back to preschool. The preschool also focuses on nutrition and physical activity to help prevent illnesses before they

start. “We try to be proactive.” Ashburton Kindergarten Association manager Barbara Kirk said the association’s five kindergartens make sure parents are educated about the importance of keeping children home if they are sick to stop the spread of illness. “It’s important to keep children home if they are showing signs of sickness.” Parents are advised in person about this and reminded in regular newsletters.

Weka theft ‘gutting’

Artist makes a 205 metre long statement Methven-born artist Rachael Dewhirst (inset above) has painted what is believed to be the longest mural in New Zealand. Her 205-metre long artwork was created on commission for PlaceMakers Riccarton and is painted on the border fence of the store’s site. It is titled bon voyage and is a collaboration between the arts and industry involving 200 litres of paint, 266 spray cans and 23 colours – and countless hours of painting. PlaceMakers Riccarton owner Grant Close said he hoped the

public art would be a legacy for the city as it re-established itself post earthquakes. The new mural will be visible to both locals and train-line passengers as they enter and depart Christchurch. Rachael, a former head girl at Mount Hutt College, has completed a fine arts degree with honours at the University of Canterbury, staged solo exhibitions, sold work and travelled widely. Her inspiration for the design comes from an evolving and continued reflection on her journeys through France.

With the mural location in mind, and travel being at the forefront of the artist’s experience, the focus naturally led to a concept of discovery. “In recognising the role of PlaceMakers Riccarton in the rebuild, I believe it was right for the work to convey a sense of life, hope and vibrancy for the future,” she said. “The title of the work is just that, bon voyage, a hope for a safe and enjoyable journey whatever and wherever that might be.” The mural encapsulates both the artist’s and commissioner’s desire to bestow well wishes to

the city and people. The river is a reference to the Otakaro, the Avon River of Christchurch. It is used as a rhythmical pulse that weaves its way through the design like a heartbeat tying the different pieces together. Deborah McCormick, director of SCAPE Public Art, said the contemporary new mural would transform another blank canvas into an attractive work of art for locals and visitors to enjoy. “It will also provide much needed vibrancy and a sense of optimism to a traditionally industrial area.

From P1 The weka lived in colonies around the conservation area and were nesting. Any eggs would no longer be viable. Replacing the stolen birds will be a long, difficult and costly process. Buff weka can only be sourced from the Chatham Islands and a permit needed for their relocation, by air, to New Zealand. Mr Langdon believes the weka were hunted using dogs and were most likely taken for eating. “I was gutted.” He said the Riverbridge Conservation Area was an ideal habitat for the weka, “and they were quite happy here”. The sturdy and inquisitive birds are feisty by nature and can inflict damage on predators using their beaks and claws. “They were really my favourites. I enjoyed them because they can look after themselves, except against humans and dogs.” Department of Conservation spokesperson Chris Coulter said the Eastern Buff weka was an Absolutely Protected Species under the Wildlife Act and no person could hunt or kill the bird. She said only three eco-sanctuaries existed in the South Island where weka were bred, including Mr Langdon’s, so the loss was a big blow to attempts to re-establish their numbers.

■ MID CANTERBURY ACCIDENTS

Crashes ‘may easily have been fatals’ By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Police believe a driver who ploughed through a rural intersection into the path of a truck on Wednesday night was impaired by drugs or alcohol. The man and his passenger were lucky to have survived the crash, as was a man who hit a power pole in a separate crash a couple of hours later, on what was a busy night for the district’s emergency service crews. Three crashes occurred in just over four hours, and Ashburton Police Sergeant Richard Scott said two of the crashes could easily have resulted in fatalities; fortunately luck was on the occupants’ sides. Emergency services were called to the scene of the first crash – at the intersection of State Highway One and Windermere Road, south of Tinwald – shortly after 9.30pm and were greeted by a seriously injured driver acting in an aggressive manner, Ashburton Police senior sergeant Scott Banfield said. Mr Banfield police searched what remained of the 42-yearold man’s car, and found a substantial quantity of cannabis in a bag inside the vehicle. He said police believed the driver was impaired by either drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash and a blood sample was taken from him after he was flown to Christchurch Hospital by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter. The man – who was unconscious for a period of time at the scene – underwent initial treatment for his injuries at hospital, but later discharged himself, Mr

Banfield said. A male passenger in the car also sustained minor injuries in the crash, which occurred when the car the pair were in failed to give way at an intersection. “The truck was travelling south on the highway and the car came through the give way on Windermere Road at speed,” Mr Banfield said. “Clearly poor driving, and drugs and/or alcohol contributed to this crash, and it was avoidable.” About an hour after that crash, a car went off the road after hitting surface water on Company Road and a woman was taken Ashburton Hospital with moderate injuries. Then, at 1.15am, a ute left Maronan Road and collided with a power pole and its sole occupant was taken to Christchurch Hospital via the Westpac Rescue Helicopter with moderate injuries. Mr Scott said speed was a factor in the crash and the ute hit the pole with such force, that had there been a passenger inside, they would not have survived. “He tore a hole in the pole, which was unusual, and he certainly destroyed his truck.” Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade chief Alan Burgess said EA Networks had to disconnect the power running through the pole, and the fire brigade extracted the man from the crashed ute. “Because it had hit a double pole, it had 66,000 volts going through the top, and 33,000 volts on the lower one, and that’s always an area of concern as far as the condition of the pole and the wires.”

Eddie’s ready to play Oliver By ruBy HarfiEld

ruby.h@thEguardian.co.nz

Ten-year-old Eddie Galbraith is set to be the star of the show in Variety Theatre Ashburton’s production Oliver which opens tonight. The Ashburton Borough School student has been rehearsing for his role as Oliver every night for the past few weeks and feels ready to take to the stage. “I’m really excited but also a bit nervous.” Eddie is not new to the acting game, having been in several Children’s Theatre productions but he has never had a solo role before. His mother, Kate Galbraith, is also a budding thespian and Ed-

die developed his desire to start acting after helping her clean up on stage after a Variety Theatre show and thinking he could get used to being on stage. Eddie would like to continue acting as a career and hopes to one day be in a show with his mother. Relatives will coming from all over the South Island to the Sunday showing and there won’t be a dry eye in the group, especially Kate’s. Kate said she did not realise how big the role was when Eddie first auditioned but he has taken to it well. “I’m really proud of how hard he’s worked and how committed he’s been.”

After the show Eddie is most looking forward to cutting his hair which he has had to keep long for the past couple of months. He has never had really short hair before but thinks he might try it out now. The young star has enjoyed getting to know everyone in the show and cannot wait to start performing tonight alongside Ethan Green as the Artful Dodger, Peter Livingstone as the cruel Bill Sikes, Dayle Stoliker as Fagin, Megan Hamilton as Nancy Sikes and Gavin Templeton as Mr Bumble. Oliver will be showing at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre until May 28.

■ ASHBURTON SCHOOL BUSES

Sign delay brings benefits By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

A delay in the arrival of safety signs for Mid Canterbury school buses has ended up being beneficial. Speed limit signs were due to be installed on small school buses in the district at the beginning of Term 2 as part of a national trial to ensure motorists slow down. This is the second stage of the “Either Way It’s 20k” trial which was launched in 2013 and involves smaller signs (300m diameter) being displayed on the smaller school buses to remind motorists to slow down to 20km/h when passing a stationary school bus. The first stage involved three

parts – monitoring speed, creating an awareness campaign and adding flashing LED 20km/h signs (400m diameter) to 30 larger buses in the district. Transport Engineering Research NZ (TERNZ) managing director Peter Baas, who is helping with the trial, said the delay in the signs’ arrival was caused by having to get parts from overseas as well as redeveloping the design to make them stand out more and be more cost effective. The signs have now been made and are on their way to Ashburton but it will still be a few months before they are installed. This is due to the monitoring of the speeds past the buses without signs still needing to be completed, he said.

“We’ve got to do that before we put the new signs on.” The smaller upgraded signs will also be trialled on the bigger buses. “We will compare the performance of the big signs versus the little signs.” A NZ Transport Agency spokesperson said these new signs (300m diameter) are slightly bigger than the ones that were trialled on the smaller school buses during the first stage of the trial. The first small signs (250mm diameter) were not as effective as the bigger signs for the bigger buses so have been redesigned at this slightly bigger size. The 300mm diameter sign also has larger numerals and the trial will test the flashing roundel, in-

stead of flashing corner lights on smaller buses. “The trial of the medium-sized signs will help to further improve the effectiveness and reduce the cost of the signs, including the larger ones.” Once the smaller signs have been installed they will be trialled for at least a term, with speeds being monitored, before the data from both stages is sent to government for consideration. If approved, signs could be installed on all school buses in the country. The trial is a partnership between TERNZ, the Ashburton District Council, Pearson’s Coachlines, New Zealand Rural Women and other authorities with funding from the Road Safety Trust.

Car regos down The average motor vehicle levy will fall from about $195 to around $130 per vehicle from July 1, it has been confirmed. ACC Minister Nikki Kaye yesterday confirmed the new ACC annual licence levies that owners of light vehicles – cars, vans, utes and SUVs – will pay from July. The levy is part of the “rego” vehicle licensing fee. Ms Kaye said the average levy, which includes the licence levy and petrol levy, would fall by 33 per cent. “It will save New Zealanders $218 million, and follows $438 million of cuts to motor vehicle levies last year,” Ms Kaye said. “This means the average motor vehicle levy has fallen from $330 to $130 since 2014.” ACC now uses a new system to assign a “risk rating” to each brand of car and charge motorists less for driving safer cars. - NZME

In brief Charged over robbery A man has been arrested and charged over an armed robbery at Mobil Ashburton. The man was arrested on Wednesday night in Christchurch, by Christchurch Police acting on information from Ashburton Police CIB staff. Police allege the man entered the service station at about 8.30pm last Friday night and presented a knife at a staff member, before demanding cash.

In the Mood concert The Mid Canterbury Choir is gearing up for its In the Mood concert on May 29, with guest artists Olivia Stewart and Luke Glendining. In its first concert of the year, the choir and guests will feature a selection of songs from well-known shows and films including Les Miserables, Mamma Mia, Evita, The Lion King, West Side Story and Phantom of the Opera. Kathy McKimmie takes the stand for her first concert as musical director, though she has been a member of the choir since its formation in 2003. The concert will be at the Sinclair Centre on Park Street, starting at 2pm. Tickets are $15 and available from choir members or at the door.

Drugs seizure Police have confiscated an estimated $4.3 million worth of psychoactive substances during the largest seizure of synthetic drugs last week. Around 173kg of illegal substances were seized during a large scale operation into synthetics by Canterbury police. A seizure of this amount translates to an estimated street value of between $3.4 and $4.3 million. During the operation, police searched 12 addresses across Christchurch which also resulted in over $2.5 million dollars’ worth of assets being frozen. - NZME

■ ROAD SAFETY CAMPAIGN

GOODIE GIVEAWAY

Crackdown on trucks, drivers Trucks, and their drivers, on Mid Canterbury roads are under the police spotlight this week. It’s Road Safety Week and the police’s Commercial Vehicle Investigation Unit (CVIU) team and other road policing partners are working together with a focus on detecting vehicle defects, overloading, fatigue, impaired driving and other safety issues. CVIU manager Bruce O’Brien said heavy motor vehicles made up a large percentage of road users and it was important they were safe. “We’re carrying out inspections which aim to eliminate the increased risk of impaired or tired drivers travelling greater distances on our roads, and ensuring that the

vehicles making the journey are safe,” he said. Because of their large mass, trucks tended to be over-represented in serious crashes. In recent years, deaths from crashes involving trucks made up around 18 per cent of the total road toll, while only about six per cent of the total distance travelled on New Zealand roads is travelled by trucks. “Fatigue can be a cause of truck crashes so we want drivers to make sure they’re well-rested, taking regular breaks and looking after themselves on long haul drives,” Mr O’Brien said. “We want to keep both the drivers of these heavy motor vehicles safe, and also those who share the roads with them.”

■ BRITAIN

Antibiotic apocalypse Pharmaceutical companies should be offered billion dollar rewards to develop new antibiotics to tackle the rise of drugresistant superbugs, the leader of a major UK government review has recommended. Lord Jim O’Neill is also calling for bans on the widespread use of antibiotics on animals to avert a crisis that could see 10 million unnecessary deaths a year by 2050. The former Goldman Sachs chief economist’s report into antimicrobial resistance (AMR) demands an urgent increase in the variety and supply of new antibiotics, as well as a global awareness campaign to educate people, including doctors, about the dangers of drug resistance. Antibiotics are currently being handed around “like sweets”, Lord O’Neill has warned, allowing deadly bacteria like E.coli and Salmonella to mutate into drug-resistant strains. Without action, he said, superbugs risk making routine surgery potentially lethal, killing millions and costing the world economy $100 trillion a year by the middle of the century. “We have not seen a truly new class of antibiotics for decades,” said Lord O’Neill.

Superbugs risk making routine surgery potentially lethal. “It’s in the policy makers’ hands to change this. “We have recommended that countries must review carefully how they buy and price antibiotics, to reward innovative new drugs without encouraging unnecessary use of new antibiotics. “I call on the governments of the G7, G20 and the UN to take real action in 2016 to avoid the terrible human and economic costs of resistance that the world will otherwise face.” Lord O’Neill pointed out that in the US more than 70 per cent of antibiotics defined

as medically important for humans are in fact sold for use in animals, a practice he said should be banned or at least severely restricted. He also called for a return to a traditional mind-set of cleanliness and infection control so fewer antibiotics are needed to fight bacterial infections. The report argues for “market entry rewards” of around $1 billion each for the successful production of new antibiotics, to be paid for by allocating a percentage of G20 countries’ existing healthcare spending. Lord O’Neill also calls for a

new charge on pharmaceutical companies who do not invest in research for AMR, as well as implementing a new tax on antibiotics, to fund the rewards. Chancellor George Osborne said that without intervention, AMR could pose a greater threat to mankind than cancer. “Apart from the moral case for action, the economic cost of failing to act is too great to contemplate,” he said. “I am calling on other finance ministers to come together this year and, working with industry leaders and medical experts, agree a common approach.” Professor Dame Sally Davies, Chief Medical Officer for England, said the “golden age” of antibiotics, which the world had taken for granted for more than fifty years, had ended. “We are already seeing the consequences of AMR, with estimates of around 50,000 deaths per year recently in Europe and the US due to antibiotic resistance infections, and far greater numbers worldwide,” she said. “The projected figures are much more worrying. At present, around seven per cent of deaths are due to infections. “This could rise to 40 per cent, as it was before we had antibiotics.” - Reuters

Escalation of tensions over South China Sea Two Chinese fighter jets carried out an “unsafe” intercept of a US military reconnaissance aircraft over the South China Sea, the Pentagon said, a further escalation of tensions in and around the contested waterway. The incident took place in international airspace as the US maritime patrol aircraft carried out “a routine US patrol,” a Pentagon statement said. The incident comes a week after

China scrambled fighter jets as a US Navy ship sailed close to a disputed reef in the South China Sea. Another Chinese intercept took place in 2014 when a Chinese fighter pilot flew acrobatic manoeuvres around a US spy plane. The intercept is also days before Barack Obama travels to parts of Asia from May 21-28, which will include a Group of Seven summit in Japan. - AP Chinese ﬁghter jets intercepted a US patrol.

Divorce ‘a challenge’ Khloe Kardashian doesn’t believe in divorce. Although the 31-year-old reality TV star is in the process of dissolving her marriage to Lamar Odom, who cheated on her with multiple women, she wishes things had not ended in this way. Khloe, who put the divorce on hold last year to care for Lamar after he collapsed at a brothel following an alcohol and drugs binge, said: “It was a challenge for me when I decided to get divorced. “At my core, I don’t believe in divorce, but I came to a point in my marriage where I had to make the choice to take care of my own mental and emotional well-being in order to protect myself and my happiness. I am at peace with that decision and do feel like I honoured my vows to the very end. I’m thankful that I can rely on my God, who, along with my family, has led me through some of the most difficult times of my life.”

Stars in Twitter clash Demi Lovato has no regrets about her feud with Taylor Swift and insists she won’t take “s**t from anybody”. The Stone Cold singer and the Wildest Dreams hitmaker had a Twitter spat about their friend Kesha’s legal battle with Sony producer Dr. Luke, with Demi criticising Taylor for donating $250,000 to the Tik Tok star to help pay her legal fees but not speaking out about the battle and Kesha’s accusation of sexual assault. Demi has now addressed the row and hinted the two are no longer pals. On her disagreement with Taylor, Demi said: “I’m not going to stop saying what I believe in. I have no problem standing up for myself. Maybe I got it from growing up in Texas, but I never took s**t from anybody. So let’s agree to disagree, or let’s just disagree.”

Proposed tax cuts ‘threatens’ budget Bill English riously the downturn associated with the unwind of the Canterbury rebuild.” he says. Auckland Chamber of Commerce chief executive Michael Barnett says business isn’t expecting huge things from the Budget next week. There would be a focus on surplus and debt reduction from English, he said. “It’s Bill’s style and business

would say he has been a prudent minder of the books,” he said. But there was a risk, with the cost of borrowing at record lows, that we may be missing out on the opportunity to build new infrastructure or cut taxes “If you were in business you’d be taking advantage of that, you’d probably be taking a bit more risk,” he says. “I don’t think we’ll get it from Bill.” Stephens agrees, saying it was a good time for the Government to invest in infrastructure given the low cost of borrowing and construction capacity increasing as the Christchurch rebuild winds down. Barnett says he would also like to see the Government delivering some strong initiatives for regional growth. “I don’t think we’re doing as well there as we should,” he says. - NZME

BY TINA MORRISON New Zealand consumer confidence slid in May amid rising petrol prices and concerns about an accelerating housing market and the impact of lower interest rates on savings. The ANZ-Roy Morgan consumer confidence index declined to 116.2 from 120 in April. The current conditions index fell by 4 points to 119.3, while the future conditions index decreased by 3 points to 114.3. “While moving at a marginally slower tempo, New Zealand consumers are still in a good rhythm,” ANZ Bank New Zealand chief economist Cameron Bagrie said in his report. “We are left with an impression of consumers in a good mood.” New Zealand’s economy is “showing generally good vigour” with gains in house prices and strong employment growth, bolstering incomes and wealth, ANZ said, adding that its combined measure of consumer and business sentiment suggested GDP growth of around 3 per cent this year. However the positive sen-

timent was being tempered by rising petrol prices, and rising tensions over an accelerating property market which hampered first-home buyers and lower interest rates which impacted savers. Yesterday’s survey shows a net 5 per cent of the 1004 respondents said they were better off now than they were a year earlier, down from 8 per cent in April, and a net 23 per cent see themselves in a better position financially in 12 months’ time, down from 28 per cent. A net 6 per cent expect better economic conditions in the coming year, down from 9 per cent in April, and over a five-year horizon, 13 per cent expect more good times than bad times, down from 17 per cent in the prior survey. Respondents were less keen to buy big-ticket items, with a net 34 per cent saying now’s a good time to buy a major household item compared to 38 per cent a month earlier predicting an annual pace of inflation of 3.3 per cent over the next two years, compared to 3.5 per cent in April. - NZME

There has been plenty of company specific information for New Zealand investors in particular this week, both positive and negative. Steel & Tube downgraded earnings guidance for its full year, citing a more challenging environment than was expected. Expectations are now for net profit after tax to be 10 to 15 per cent lower than last year’s. Following this, the share price fell 4.44 per cent which seemed to imply that the market was expecting this and it was priced in to some extent. Infratil released its full year results, reporting an increase in its net surplus for the year. It also announced that it was increasing its dividend to 9 cents per share. In the commentary, the company commented that it continues to look for acquisitions and then followed through with this almost immediately, when it announced that it will purchase a 48 per cent stake in Canberra Data Centres, an Australian data warehouse. The purchase is subject to regulatory approval. Heartland Bank this week an-

nounced its nine month profit statement, which showed net profit is up 10 per cent on the prior comparable period. The company reaffirmed guidance for the full year and reiterated that it is on the look out for suitable acquisition opportunities. A number of central banks from around the globe released minutes from their latest meetings. The Reserve Bank of Australia minutes were closely watched following the somewhat surprising rate cut at the previous meeting. The minutes showed some reluctance from members to cut rates, weighing up the merits of adjusting rates or holding in the wake of the surprisingly weak inflation data. In the end they cut rates to an all-time low of 1.75 per cent and most economists continue to see at least one further rate cut this year. The Federal Reserve in the US also released minutes from its last meeting. The minutes were watched closely by the market for clues of potential rate rises and they showed that the June meeting is definitely in play for the next potential rate hike. This is, of course, dependent on economic growth data continuing to be supportive of the hike. The US dollar climbed following the release and US banking stocks received a boost.

Markets pushed and pulled t has been a busy week in terms of economic news and subsequently markets have been pushed and pulled, fluctuating between positive and negative territory. The New Zealand market snapped a recent losing streak early on this week and returned to its record setting ways as corporate news flow dominated local headlines. Possibly the biggest news on the New Zealand calendar was the latest Global Dairy Trade auction which saw a 2.6 per cent rise in the dairy price index. More importantly for New Zealand farmers, the price of whole milk powder increased by 3 per cent. The gains came after a dip in the last auction and on lower than normal volumes. This auction was likely the last in the lead up to Fonterra giving its first estimate for next season’s milk price. The current season’s forecast is $3.90 per kilo and expectations are for next season’s to be set higher, possibly around $4.50. This would imply that Fonterra is expecting prices to rise later this year, however, it would be the third season in succession with a sub-$5 payout. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) released its latest Financial Stability Review last week and highlighted dairy as one of the biggest risks to the country’s financial stability. This week the RBNZ released inflation expectations for the second quarter. These were slightly higher than previous surveys but remained well below the targeted

Consumer confidence takes a tumble in May

John Key’s promise of $3 billion in tax cuts some time in the next few years threatens to make next week’s budget “obsolete”, Westpac chief economist Dominick Stephens warns. Finance Minister Bill English is expected to take a conservative approach to the Government finances with an eye on paying down debt and heading back to surplus when he delivers the Budget next Thursday. But if there are no tax cuts announced “but the plan is to deliver them further down the track then the fiscal accounts laid out next week are not actually relevant,” Stephens says. He argues the capacity of the Government to deliver both tax cuts and pay down debt this decade is limited and possibly based on overly optimistic Treasury forecasts “Treasury hasn’t really taken se-

OUR VIEW

Emergency services there to help Erin Tasker

ur emergency services are there to help us in our time of need. They deal with some pretty unpleasant scenes from time to time – the kind of stuff many of us couldn’t ever imagine seeing or having to deal with – and it’s not for everyone. Their job is hard enough at the best of times, but occasionally they come across something – or someone – who makes their life even more difficult than it needs to be. On Wednesday night, they struck one of those occasions, where the person in need did not want their help. Our emergency services were called to a crash between a car and a truck south of Ashburton. It was pretty bad, a car had gone through a give way sign straight into the path of a truck on the state highway. According to the police, if the car had been even a metre further along the road than what it was, it would have impacted with the truck in a place where there would have been no coming back from. Both the driver and the passenger would have been dead. They survived though – the driver with serious injuries, and his passenger with minor injuries – and you’d think they’d be happy to still be alive. But the driver, instead of being grateful for the help, was – according to emergency services – aggressive, possibly something to do with the substantial amount of drugs police later found in his car. Whatever the reason, it meant that emergency services spent a lot more time at the scene than they probably needed to, trying to help this injured man – who clearly needed medical attention. Our emergency services are there for a reason and that’s to help. For police it’s their job, but for our firefighters and many of our ambulance staff, it’s something they do out of the kindness of their hearts. They’re volunteers, who give up their time and drop whatever they’re doing at a moment’s notice to help. But whether they’re a volunteer, or get paid for what they do, their job is to help. Unfortunately, as Wednesday night showed, some people don’t want to be helped. And it’s something many of us probably struggle to understand.

YOUR VIEW Air pollution In response to Sue Newman’s excellent editorial in today’s Ashburton Guardian, it is worth stating that all the evidence points to older woodburners, even when well operated, produce much higher pollution than those with the latest technology. Pellet fires and the new ultra-low emission burners now on the market produce emissions that are below 0.5 grams per kilogram. Even the newer, compliant wood burners, which are supposed to emit less than 1g/kg, can emit a lot more than that, especially when not operated well. That is why Environment Canterbury is promoting the use of dry kindling and encouraging woodburner users to learn smoke-free burning techniques, so that these woodburners produce as little pollution as possible. A smoky chimney means the fire is not hot enough. Unburnt firewood wastes money and heat, so learning to burn smoke-free saves on firewood and makes for a cosier home.

Car club On behalf of the Ashburton Car Club, I would personally like to thank our major sponsor AutoSparks and other sponsors who supported us – whether it was for the corners, prizes and services throughout the weekend – without these people the event would not have been so successful. We also have a huge thank you to all the businesses in the Riverside Industrial Area, with some closing their businesses for us to run, without their support we wouldn’t have been able to have such a successful and enjoyable weekend of motorsport. Also to all the competitors, helpers, fundraising groups, club members and families that gave up their time to help bring this weekend together. A huge thank you to you all.

ow’s things going in your relationship? Worried if he’s a keeper? Well worry no more. Grab your smartphone and find out. StayGo is a new free app that claims to be able to tell you whether your relationship is built to last or doomed to fail. It’s based on a series of algorithms and scientific data about what makes a relationship work and involves a long survey about your relationship that assesses every part of it – its strengths and weaknesses, your satisfaction and any potential long-term clashes. Also StayGo can send out invites to whoever you choose, asking them to anonymously reveal what they think of your relationship. Meaning that, if your friends all think your boyfriend is an arrogant idiot and they can’t believe you’re with him, they’ll finally have a way to tell you just that. I can only imagine what my mates would say if they got an invite to reveal what they thought about my relationship, initially it would be two words, the second

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

of those would be “OFF”, followed by “do yourself a favour girl and run for the hills”. They would then look me straight in the eyes at golf and say “I’ve got your back mate”. Here’s a theory for you, if things aren’t going so well in your relationship, try spending a little less time on your phone looking at stupid apps like this and try talking to your partner for a change. Just a thought.

360-degree photos are coming Facebook wants to bring virtual reality to your social media. In 2014, the social media giant bought Oculus VR for $2 billion, and they’ve since been develop-

ing playful ways to integrate the VR technology into their brand. The latest plan is to introduce 360-degree pictures to your newsfeed. Users have been able to upload and view 360-degree videos since September. We have? How do you do that? Hold on to your hats because in the next few weeks they’ll be able to do the same with still images. Facebook has found a way for users with a panorama feature on their smartphones to make the images. The photos will be viewable via both the Oculus Rift and Samsung’s Gear VR. Great advancement! Now we get to see crazy cat lady’s (like my partner Manda) cats acting cute from all different angles. Just what the world needs.

Not technology but definitely going too far! Imagine if you could ditch all your expensive beauty products and just drink gin to look

younger. A new gin brand claims you can. Anti-aGin is a 40 per cent proof booze distilled with pure collagen. It has in its ingredients some classic botanicals known for their rejuvenating properties – chamomile and tea tree with nettle, witch-hazel and gotu kola – along with classic gin components. The maker claims the ingredients have been chosen for their revitalising qualities which can – I quote – heal sun-damage, inhibit scar formation and – wait for it – help smooth cellulite, apparently. I suspect that the best this gin will do for your ageing is help you forget it.

In brief Hat-trick for Sevilla Sevilla survived a first-half battering before hitting back with three second-half goals, two from Coke, to beat Liverpool 3-1 in the Europa League final yesterday and win the trophy for the third season in a row. “This is our competition. We did an amazing second half. I am so proud of our team-mates, the supporters. It was an amazing night,” Sevilla defender Daniel Carrico said after his team secured a place in next season’s Champions League. - Reuters

MC United raging favourites By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury United will be hosted by Selwyn in their third successive away fixture tomorrow, but will be heavy favourites to add another win to an already impressive tally. United sit at the summit of the Robbies men’s division two ladder on 15 points after taking five wins from their seven outings. In contrast, Selwyn are at the bottom of the table on two points, having drawn twice and lost five. Mid Canterbury head in to the tie off the back of a 4-1 win over

“

Manchester City and England goalkeeper Richard Wright has called time on his career at the age of 38. Wright has not appeared in a competitive match since 2011 – when he played for Ipswich against Reading in the Championship – and decided to retire following the end of City’s season on Sunday. Wright joined City in 2012 but was no more than a back-up as he never made a single appearance for the club. Despite his lack of action, Wright was still paid £7000 a week, totalling £350,000 over the course of a year and £1.4 million over four years. - NZME

Team at a standstill

I think they will play defensively after that 9-1 flogging

Universities Aardvarks last weekend while Selwyn were on the receiving end of a 9-1 thumping from Coastal Spirit. Despite the gulf in form, coach Martin Fitzgerald is expecting Selwyn to play deep with plenty of men behind the ball, which

could prove frustrating for Mid Canterbury. “I think they will play defensively after that 9-1 flogging,” he said. “I certainly would. “I think we’ll need to get back to our passing game to break them down.”

Fitzgerald will again opt for a 4-5-1 formation with the hope of taking charge of the midfield and utilising his wingers in what he expects to be a physically demanding tie. Adam George will return to the left of midfield following an exceptional display last weekend that saw him net a brace, while in form striker Sam Hall will lead the line. Tomorrow’s Robbies men’s division two fixture: Selwyn United FC v Mid Canterbury United, Foster Park, 2.30pm.

In brief

■ RUGBY

Make or break time By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The final day of the Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Competition’s round robin section is upon us, and is set to offer up some thrilling encounters as the senior sides look to cement or steal top four places. There will not be a Mid Canterbury representative in the quarter-finals from section one with both Hampstead and Methven failing to make the grade this season. The section is led by the formidable Southbridge on 39 points, ahead of Burn/Duns/Irwell (30), Lincoln (30) and Glenmark (29), followed by Saracens, who are also on 29 points, in fifth. Hampstead currently sit in seventh position on the section ladder with 14 points, four behind tomorrow’s opponents Kaiapoi, after winning three of their eight outings so far. Regan Broker’s side have shown potential this term but lacked consistency. But tomorrow’s mid-table clash will offer the opportunity to move up the ladder and put them in good stead for the playoffs. Methven’s season has been in complete contrast to last year’s history-making campaign. After becoming the first Mid Canterbury side to win the Combined Competition, 17 senior departures left a young, newlook squad that have failed to pick up a win, and things will not be getting easier for Andy

Pearce’s team tomorrow. Methven will be hosted by unbeaten Southbridge – a side that has collected seven bonus points in eight appearances and hold a points differential of 244, dwarfing all others across both sections. Meanwhile, the section two points table offers easier reading for the Mid Canterbury contingent. Waihora are at the top of the pile on 32 points followed by Darfield (30), Ashley (29) and Rakaia (28) while Celtic’s big win over Prebbleton ensured that they are still well in with a chance of securing a top four berth and on 26 points. Both Rakaia and Celtic will lock horns with fellow top fourelect teams. Rakaia will play host to Ashley in a third versus fourth place battle and Celtic will entertain second placed Darfield in a bid to crack the top four. Fellow Mid Canterbury team Southern’s aspirations of a top four spot have long since been dashed, but will fancy themselves against Prebbleton, who have won just once. Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Competition week eight fixtures: Southbridge v Methven, Waihora v Ohoka, Kaiapoi v Hampstead, Celtic v Darfield, West Melton v Rolleston, Rakaia v Ashley, Lincoln v Burn/Duns/ Irwell, Prebbleton v Southern, Glenmark v Saracens, Oxford v Hornby.

Just when it seemed as if they had settled into a first-choice XV, the Chiefs have sprung a surprise at hooker ahead of tomorrow’s clash with the Rebels. Neither defeat to the Highlanders nor the subsequent week off was enough to shake Dave Rennie’s faith in the majority of his team – with one exception. Nathan Harris will earn his first start in the No 2 jersey as the Chiefs attempt to push clear in the congested New Zealand conference, set to replace Hika Elliot in the run-out team in Hamilton. Elliot had enjoyed a stranglehold on the position since returning from early-season injury, with Rhys Marshall also handed a couple of chances. But Harris, a two-test All Black, has shaken off his own health concerns to create a real competition in the middle of the front row. “[Harris] was out for a long

time with concussion,” Rennie said. “He had to bide his time getting back in and he’s had a couple of cameos off the bench. He’s been playing and training pretty well, so we’re just keen to give him an opportunity to start and see what he can do.” Harris was the only fringe player to be afforded that opportunity. While Anton Lienert-Brown will start at second five in place of Charlie Ngatai – who’s still recovering from a head knock suffered against the Highlanders – the other names on the team sheet have become increasingly familiar. Setting aside the long-term absentees, there once appeared to be three spots subject to rotation in the Chiefs’ full-strength XV: right wing, blindside flanker and tighthead prop. But for the third game running, those positions will again be filled by Toni Pulu, Taleni Seu and Hiroshi Yamashita. Rennie admitted that while

The Wallabies have received a major boost ahead of their Test campaign against England with coach Michael Cheika re-signing through to the next World Cup. Cheika was on contract until 2017 but extended his contract to the end of 2019, which will see him lead the Wallabies to the Rugby World Cup in Japan. - AAP

Janes eyes up Japan Hurricane Cory Jane is poised to sign a deal with a Japanese club, but is likely to wait for confirmation he hasn’t made the All Blacks for next month’s tests against Wales before he does so. Steve Hansen will announce his squad for the tests in Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin a week on Sunday. Jane, fighting for a place on the wing in the absence of injured Nehe MilnerSkudder, is likely to be given a nod either way before then. If it is a no then he will sign with the undisclosed club for what is thought to be a two-year contract. - NZME

Blues to right wrongs The Blues, having described their last outing against the Lions in Johannesburg as “embarrassing”, believe they are on track to take the hard edge they have developed in training this week on to the Nib Stadium pitch against the Force in Perth on Saturday. “It was a pretty disappointing outing,” assistant coach Glenn Moore said. “We all know it wasn’t up to standard and it’s all been about trying to put that right this week. We know we have to be better up front this week and we’ve got to be consistent through the whole game.” - NZME David Morrison in action during Celtic’s 62-14 hiding of Prebbleton last Saturday.

Lift your game, warns Rennie By Kris shannon

Wallabies re-sign Cheika

Chiefs coach Dave Rennie: Sticking with the Chiefs’ incumbents - for now. there had been the temptation to shuffle the pack after being out-classed by the Highlanders, the incumbents were retained and instructed to lift their game. “There’s a couple of guys who have got another crack who have been given a bit of a message at the same time, so they get an opportunity for redemption by starting as opposed to coming off the bench.” In fact, with such a settled

side, it was one place on that bench that raised the most eyebrows. After the final few minutes of last month’s clash with the Hurricanes were played with uncontested scrums because of Siegfried Fisiihoi’s inability to play tighthead prop, the Bay of Plenty man has been named as tighthead cover. The Chiefs at the time deemed Fisiihoi a safety risk – denying suggestions their scrummaging inferiority resulted in a deliberate bid to depower the set piece – but Rennie said a month of practise had alleviated any concerns. “We had concerns around him as a tighthead. “He’d only trained at loosehead and he had a couple of cameos at tighthead in training and really battled,” the coach said. “It wasn’t our intention to play Siggy there this week, but he scrummed so well there on Tuesday and we thought we had to reward that.” - NZME

Tahs ‘not on holiday’ All business, the NSW Waratahs have borrowed a famous line from former Wallabies coach Alan Jones as they chase a statement win tonight over Super Rugby’s tabletopping Crusaders. Just like Jones instructed his 1984 Wallabies to cross “business” on their arrivals card after landing in the UK for their grand slam tour, NSW captain Michael Hooper has made it clear to his charges the purpose of the Waratahs’ Christchurch visit. “It’s work for us. It’s not a holiday. We’re going over there to do a job and to do it well,” Hooper said. “We need to be really good to beat this Crusaders team. We’ve got to play our best game of the year.” The Crusaders are riding a seven-match, 12-year winning streak over the Waratahs in New Zealand. Match report on guardianonline.co.nz tonight. - AAP

Koroibete joins Rebels The Melbourne Rebels are counting on Wallaby-in-waiting Marika Koroibete showing them the way to the tryline next season after luring the Storm winger away from the NRL. The Melbourne flyer confirmed yesterday he’ll depart at the end of the season to move to the Rebels on a two-year deal. Rebels coach Tony McGahan said the Rebels weren’t in the hunt for the Fijianborn Koroibete until the Australian Rugby Union got involved. McGahan, who often attends Storm games as a fan, said any club would want the powerful Koroibete, who has scored 39 tries in 57 games. - AAP

Quicker start ‘imperative’ By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Ashburton College’s 1st XV will be out to record their first win of the season when they face Waimea Combined in their fifth outing of the Crusaders region UC Championship tomorrow. After downing Waimea in preseason, Dave McCrea’s side will look to seize their best opportunity so far to get points on the board in what has been a frustrating campaign.

A season-opening defeat to Shirley Boys’ was followed by losses to Timaru Boys’ High, St Andrew’s College and Nelson – as lethargic starts left College with a mountain to climb on all four occasions. McCrea is confident that there is quality throughout the ranks, which was shown in a promising second half display against Nelson where Ashburton scored two tries and retained possession for long periods.

But a solid start tomorrow will be imperative to end the four match losing run. “We’re definitely out to beat them after the preseason,” he said. “We need to improve our ball retention and the quickness of our ruck ball. “Our forwards have really improved. “We scrummed really well last week, but we sat off them in the first quarter of an hour, we need

to really get in their faces early on.” College will be at full strength with Joseph Todhunter offering McCrea options at number 8 and lock after sitting out last week, while the rest of the squad came away from the Nelson clash unscathed. Tomorrow’s Crusaders region UC Championship fixture: Ashburton College v Waimea Combined, Ashburton Showgrounds, 12 noon.

Thunder denied by Curry’s brilliance By Kris shannon

After Steven Adams and the Thunder enjoyed their time to shine, game two of the Western Conference finals yesterday was all about Steph Curry. Golden State levelled the seven-game series at one game apiece after Curry unleashed an electric shooting display to see off Oklahoma City 118-91. The two-time MVP turned a tight game on its head in the third quarter, needing only five minutes to score 17 points in an outburst Adams and his teammates were powerless to prevent. Curry led the Warriors with 28 points on nine-of-15 shooting, recording his haul in just

30 minutes and finishing with a plus-minus of +24. Kevin Durant rode a dominant first half to a team-high 29 points while Adams grabbed nine points and 10 rebounds in 34 minutes. That output snapped the centre’s streak of doubledoubles at four games but he was perhaps satisfied in playing another significant role, having been forced from the floor in the first quarter after Festus Ezeli landed awkwardly on Adams’ back while chasing a rebound. The Kiwi headed to the locker room to receive some attention and soon returned to action, but his presence was not enough to restrict the Warriors’ dominance on the boards. - NZME

In the build-up to the Warriors’ game against the Canberra Raiders in New Plymouth this weekend, the NRL side have released a video on social media focusing on Isaac Luke’s return to his home province of Taranaki. The former Rabbitohs hooker hails from Hawera, 70km from where the Warriors will host the Raiders at Yarrow Stadium in New Plymouth tomorrow. The match is set to be the first ever NRL match to be played in New Plymouth. “It’s going to do a lot for the community. I know how big Yarrow Stadium is, and if we can pack that out, it’s going to be an unreal atmosphere.” - NZME

Hastings feels the axe Sydney Roosters are set to drop five eighth Jackson Hastings. Hastings is expected to become the first high profile victim of the club’s 2-8 start to the NRL season with youngster Ryan Matterson to start at five-eighth against Canterbury on Sunday. Skipper Jake Friend would not comment on reports that Hastings was to be dropped by coach Trent Robinson. Matterson, the nephew of former Roosters and Brisbane lock Terry Matterson, is now set to start alongside Mitchell Pearce in the halves. - AAP

Bennett fires up Wayne Bennett has taken aim at NRL stars complaining of five-day turnarounds, saying they are more concerned about getting paid for Origin games than addressing the toll the series schedule takes on players. Bennett claimed the priority should be pushing for standalone Origin games and not abolishing five-day turnarounds, saying the inter-state series had the biggest impact on a team’s season. - AAP

Hayne ‘still a chance’

Fiji’s rugby sevens coach Ben Ryan has denied reports Jarryd Hayne has missed the squad for this weekend’s London Sevens. There were reports that Hayne’s quest to make Rio hit a speedbump after being left out of the initial 12-man Fiji squad. Ryan denied those reports yesterday saying the squad isn’t named until today and that Hayne had taken part in one training session in London. - AAP

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’ll be giving a performance of sorts. It could be as small as making an introduction, or as big as making a business presentation or putting on a party. Regardless of the scale, all details need to be worked out. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’re the grounded person not afraid to let friends know when they are taking themselves too seriously. Who does this for you, though? Check in with that person today. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You never know when a random safety tip is going to save a life or keep someone from getting hurt or embarrassed. Here’s a random safety tip: Don’t use your phone while driving. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): When you have to wonder, “Does he mean ... ?” it’s a sign that that you’d be wise to ask more questions or listen more carefully. A little of both will save you today. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You don’t have to call the wins or losses or choose who gets in and who stays outside. Maybe you thought you needed to make decisions, but you can relax. It’s not up to you. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): What’s easier: risking your heart or your money? You’ll gamble with one or the other today and learn the answer. Your winnings will tempt you to take more chances. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): If you go with the majority and their accepted norms of consumption you’ll be taking part in earth’s destruction. The responsible thing is to go above and beyond what most people do. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The highlight of the day will be an endeavour you approach with solemnity, as though you were sworn in allegiance. Maybe you were. There aren’t many things you vow to honour and protect, but this is one of them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): When the bullhorn gets passed to you, you talk about someone else. You’re more interested in promoting others than you are in getting ahead, but you’ll get ahead in spite of this – or, more likely, because of it. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Once you make up your mind you probably won’t unmake it. No one else can convince you. These are some of the reasons you’re taking your sweet time with a decision. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Your charisma is so powerful it can move on its own. You can’t control it. It will linger in places you wouldn’t have expected. Your presence will be felt where your body is absent. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Since you can only see the world through your own lens it is impossible to know what others see. Your powers of empathy will allow you to imagine and come pretty close.

Methven’s Pip Kenny ﬁres a pass during last night’s match against the College girls at the EA Networks Stadium.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 190516-TM-0049

Methven repels tough challenge Methven A showed why they were the defending champions last night, when they played well below their best, but still had enough in the tank to repel a

strong challenge from the College A girls. In a performance that will give their coach plenty to work on at the EA Networks Stadium, Meth-

ven did have a narrow 18-17 lead at the halfway point, but College produced a solid third quarter to lead 28-26, and an upset was well on the cards, after Methven had

previously held the school side to comfortable victories. But Methven came out a determined side in the final stanza, and while College fought to hold them

out in a contest that was tightly disputed all night, Methven eventually sneaked home 35-33. Full match reports in Saturday’s Guardian.

End of ANZ Championship heralds new era in netball The ANZ Championship has run its course. After months of uncertainty, Netball New Zealand and its Australian counterparts yesterday confirmed the trans-Tasman

league will be axed at the end of this season, with both countries to move tback to standalone domestic competitions. The announcement brings to an end a nine-year trans-Tasman partnership.

No games, but £7000 a week P15

Netball NZ revealed the new competition will feature six teams, including the five existing franchises and a new start-up club, based in “the greater Auckland area”.

In the new triple round format teams will each play 15 round robin games, including Super Sundays featuring all six teams in action at the same venue, before it culminates in a two-game fi-

nals series with the top three. Games will be played on Sunday afternoons at a family-friendly time, which has proved successful in 2016 from an attendance and viewership perspective. - NZME
