Heated words were exchanged at a velvetleaf awareness meeting held in Tinwald yesterday as angry farmers and industry representatives took the Ministry of Primary Industry to task over the incursion of the noxious weed.

Seed importer DLF unwittingly unleashed the invasive weed in pelletised fodderbeet seed, originating from Italy, in Canterbury last season and the company’s general manager Tom Bruynel also came under fire.

The invasive weed has the potential to

decimate Mid Canterbury’s world-class seed export industry and see farm gates closed by MPI-instigated restricted access orders, which in effect, would see properties locked down in quarantine.

Velvetleaf was first identified in Waikato in 2011 but only appeared in the South Island in February this year. Since then it has been found on 252 properties across 11 regions, 123 of which are in Canterbury.

It was not declared as an unwanted organism under the Biosecurity Act until 2013 and the most recent incursion response has been the largest MPI has ever

carried out. MPI incursion officer Carolyn Bleach said the majority of infestations involved single plants but a vigorous velvetleaf plant could generate 17,000 seeds which would create a “massive management issue” during this summer.

Velvetleaf seeds can remain viable in soil for 50 years and under the Biosecurity Act it is illegal to move or spread the weed, which can be transported on machinery and in animal dung.

Velvetleaf talk becomes heated From P1 During the summer months MPI in collaboration with industry good-groups initiated a search and destroy operation but yesterday Ms Bleach admitted not all suspected sites were visited.

The frost intolerant pest plants have now died off and the extent of the problem will not be known

until February next year.

Federated Farmers Mid Canterbury arable spokesperson Joanne Burke had attempted to get the equivalent of a “farmy army” off the ground to scour fodderbeet crops and lessen the spread of the weed in April, before dairy cattle were moved on to and off winterfeed blocks. However, confidentiality prevented MPI from

identifying infested crops.

Ms Burke challenged MPI over the confidentiality issue yesterday, saying it was at the heart of the problem Mid Canterbury farmers were now confronted with.

On the other side of the coin, Ms Bleach said MPI had distributed information and had organised meetings but the lack of

response from farmers and contractors had been disappointing.

About 60 people attended yesterday’s meeting, which was a poor response given the threat level involved, she said.

Mid Canterbury people wanting to update their ICT skills will be able to get free computing classes through the Ara Institute of Canterbury later this year.

The polytech plans to have its Computing for Free programmes in place in Ashburton by the end of the year, as part of a wider plan to improve access to vocational training.

The computing classes include a range of self-paced, non-assessed short courses for beginner to intermediate users in Microsoft Office, web design and Photoshop programmes. They are aimed at people who may not otherwise enrol in training, with more flexible learning delivery and content aligned to industry expectations.

Peter Nock, from Ara’s computing department, said lifelong learning was key and upskilling had become a necessity in today’s professional environment.

“Everyone needs to know their way around a computer and some people need to acquire further skills for their particular job or to take the next step in their career,” he said.

ICT as an industry employs almost 100,000 people, or 5 per cent of the workforce, in over 28,000 companies and created $32 billion in output in 2015, according to NZ Tech. It is also growing fast with 7 per cent employment growth, but even with an average wage of $95,000, the sector suffers from a shortage of skilled workers and employers are looking to overseas to fill positions. “So it’s an exciting time to train for the computer industry and we are currently developing new programmes that incorporate new technologies and offer rich learning experiences for our students,” Mr Nock said.

Students briefly call Mid Canty home

By Michelle NelsoN

Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Less than 24 hours into their New Zealand experience a group of 55 students who will spend the next two months studying in the Canterbury region were officially welcomed at Pudding Hill Lodge yesterday.

Ten Canterbury schools will host the teenagers, who are part of a larger contingent of 150 students coming into the country on scholarship to improve their English language skills and learn more about Kiwi culture.

The student exchange came about as a result of the free-trade agreement between New Zealand and Korea, which came into play in December last year.

The visiting students were treated to a slideshow walk through the attractions on offer in Canterbury by international student Sigred Yamit, who studies in Christchurch.

Korean Agency of Education, Promotion and Information Service in Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (EPIS) president Chul-soo Park then spoke to the group in their own language.

Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment Minister Steven Joyce congratulated the students on making it through the rigorous selection process to gain selection for their scholarships.

Last year 7500 Korean students studied in New Zealand educational institutions and a similar number was expected this year, Mr Joyce said.

He also advised the visitors to ask their host families to introduce them to pavlova and taught them the meaning of Kia Kaha – advising them to stand tall and be strong during their time in New Zealand.

A trio from Mount Hutt College welcomed the group with a waiata (song).

President Chul-soo Park, from the Korean education agency EPIS, addresses the 55 Korean students who will call Canterbury their home for the next eight weeks, at Pudding Hill Lodge yesterday.

Goldberg back at work after injury US ship By coliN eNgelBrecht colin.e@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton identity Anthony “Goldberg” Bartlett was back at work yesterday after he was assaulted 10 days ago.

Goldberg said he was attacked last Monday by a teenager outside Burger King after he tried to stop him taking a basketball from the store.

He said the teen was inside playing on one of the games in the TimeOut area but then went to take the ball outside, something people are not allowed to do.

When Goldberg went outside to try stop him, the teen tackled him to the ground hurting his head and ribs.

“He tackled me to the ground and it was a big shock, he left me and I started to walk home and I collapsed half way up the road,” he said.

Workers at Ashburton Con-

tracting Limited saw it happen and called an ambulance for Goldberg, police were also called.

Goldberg said the police came and caught the teen straight away.

Police took Goldberg home after he was treated in the ambulance.

“I have a lot of friends in Ashburton and they’ve been taking good care of me.

“I’m very grateful for all the people who have helped me,” he said.

Goldberg said he hadn’t seen the person before, and his assailant was 14 or 15 years old.

“I’ve lived in Ashburton for 20 years and this is the first time something like this has happened to me,” he said.

Goldberg was given two weeks off work but decided to come back half a week early because he wanted something to do.

Labour’s deputy leader Annette King said news of a United States Navy ship visit later this year is a “red letter day” for New Zealand and shows the US had accepted its non-nuclear status.

While visiting New Zealand yesterday, US Vice President Joe Biden formally accepted an invitation to send a warship for the Royal NZ Navy’s 75th Anniversary in November.

King said that non-nuclear status had identified New Zealand as a nation for 30 years.

“We welcome the visit after 30 years of opposition from the United States, and see it as an acceptance of our nuclear free status.”

“It is up to the Prime Minister to guarantee to New Zealanders that any visiting warships, from any country, are not nuclear-powered or carrying nuclear weapons.”

COUNCIL ELECTIONS 2016

Hotly contested election looms

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

If the numbers at a candidates’ meeting translate into nominations, the Ashburton District could see the most hotly-contested election yet for seats around the council table.

At an information evening held this week by the Ashburton District Council, electoral officer Anthony Morton gave potential candidates a run-down on the nomination process and spelled out what they needed to consider if they wanted to be a councillor.

Local government was a complex business and a big business, he said.

“You’re dealing with lots of legislation and you’re dealing with people’s lives in a big way. It’s a big deal and it’s something that’s not to be undertaken likely. It’s a serious business.”

He also made it clear to the candidates that their work was undertaken at policy level and that staff worked at management level.

While councillors were elected in wards, their job was to think strategically across the district as a whole, Mr Morton said.

And he said candidates needed to be very clear about the time involved – the job was fulltime for a mayor and involved between

three and five days each week for councillors.

“And you won’t get rich,” he said.

Ashburton’s mayoral salary is $102,705 per year, while the base salary for a councillor is $25,215.

When it came to running an election campaign, candidates had to be sure that any promotional material carried was authorised by them and contained the name and address of either themselves or their agent.

This election, new rules have had to be written around social media, as this was likely to be a well-used campaign tool, Mr Morton said.

Those rules put the council’s Facebook and social media pages off limits for electioneering. These would be closely monitored and the rules strictly enforced, he said.

“During the lead-up to elections, however, the current mayor and councillors may be used in social media posts where it is appropriate and is considered ‘business as normal’ to use them,” he said.

Nominations for the council, Ashburton Trust, ECan and the Methven Community Board opened last Friday and close at noon on August 12. Voting papers will be posted from September 16 and voting closes at noon on October 8.

Council table in need of diversity A call for diversity in the makeup of the next crop of Ashburton District councillors has come from one potential candidate.

This came from Jen Branje, who founded the community action group Bung the Bore, formed in opposition to the council’s plan to sell land with a water consent in its business estate to a water bottling company.

There were many people in the community with wide ranging concerns. Their voices were needed around the council table, she said.

While several members of Bung the Bore had collected nomination forms after the meeting, any who chose to follow through with their nomination would be standing as individuals, not under the organisation’s umbrella, she said.

“I don’t think any good would come from standing as one cause, we need diversity around the council table.”

Through the group’s opposition to the council’s deal, it had shown people that community voices could make a difference, Ms Branje said.

While electoral officer Andrew Morton had warned potential candidates that they should not seek election believing they could make change because the council had a long-term plan that it worked to, there were many issues people were concerned about that could be resolved by councillors being aware of their community and active in the community, Ms Branje said.

“I believe to achieve that we need diversity; I left the meeting with a feeling of hope for the future.”

Potential Ashburton District councillors get the low-down on the election process and what they should expect if they win a seat around the council table in this year’s local body elections.

Phoenix Chorus singing their way to Australia

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

Phoenix Chorus are hoping to serenade their way to Australia with next week’s big fundraiser.

Ashburton College’s senior choir are holding the Off to Oz – An Evening of Song concert in the Ashburton Trust Event Centre on July 29.

The concert will feature the current Phoenix Chorus as well as past members who have gone on to pursue a musical career.

Along with the choir, will be past members including Zara Ballara, current head of voice at Canterbury University, local entertainer Luke Glendining, Jack Hanrahan who is returning from

Nasda in Christchurch and Tom Kitchen and Olivia Brown who are coming back from their studies at Otago University.

Musical director Jo Castelow will be conducting the concert with Stephen Diedricks as the accompanist. And the Ashburton Rotary Club has also supported the choir in this event.

The chorus are fundraising for a trip to the Gold Coast to participate in the Glee! 2016 national performing arts competition.

Earlier this year the group auditioned for the competition and last month were announced as national finalists.

Choir manager Carolyn Clough said there will be 28 peo-

ple on the trip, including 25 choir members. At next Friday’s show they are singing a number of a Cappella songs including a cover of the Time Warp from Jim Sharman’s 1975 The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Tickets are $25 per person or $50 for a family of two adults and two children under 14 years old.

Biden: US may support Clark Joe Biden

Joe Biden said the United States was considering supporting Helen Clark as the next Secretary General of the United Nation.

After bilateral talks with New Zealand Prime Minister John Key, the US vice-president said he had been amazed by the “non-partisan zeal” with which she was being promoted by Key.

“I was impressed. I thought she was his sister.

“But all kidding aside, we have a very high regard for your nominee and she is one who is being closely considered.”

Clark, the former Labour Prime Minister whom Key defeated in 2008, is one of 12 candidates nominated for the post, with a

13th likely in the form of former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.

Speaking to reporters later, Key said while none of the permanent five members of the UN Security Council would say who they were supporting, he believed the US would go into the process with an open mind.

“Let’s put it this way – if they were going to vote against her, we would know that, and that is definitely not the case.”

The Security Council began its first round of secret ballots overnight in order to reduce the field.

But the results will not be announced. The selection process is expected to take months. – NZME

OUR VIEW

The Olympics we’ll never truly see Sue Newman

CHIEF REPORTER

A

trip to cover the Olympic Games is, for many journalists, the pinnacle of what can be hoped for from your media career.

When the Games open in Rio next month, however, there won’t be a single Kiwi accredited journalist on the ground. The event will be beamed to New Zealand audiences by Sky TV – alone.

Tough broadcasting rights and conditions have seen to that.

In what many will view as a surprising and perhaps shocking move, the two big players in New Zealand’s media patch, NZME and Fairfax, have decided they cannot play by those rules.

They refuse to provide what they say would be severely restricted coverage and have opted to pull their media teams from the event. No coverage was better than a Clayton’s coverage they say.

For Kiwi sports fans that presents a pretty raw deal. We’ll have whatever Sky dishes up but what we won’t get will be the thousands of personal stories, the intensely Kiwi stories, the colour pieces and the images that tell the real story of real athletes, the heartbreak and the joy.

After months of trying to find a way through the coverage rules, the two media groups have decided they’re not prepared to sacrifice editorial freedom and the right to report freely on the world’s major sporting event.

For the average Kiwi, not having the media coverage we’ve been accustomed to of such a massive event is a major blow.

It’s unbelievable that a commercial deal can be so skewed that it removes any element of competition by one form of media against another. What makes this deal even more difficult to swallow is that this loss of media freedom comes at an event that has always been about freedom and competition.

Yes, the two media organisations could still have attended, but if they were unable to photograph events as they wished and write the words that truly reflected the Games, what was the point?

We’ll now be left with a skewed and limited view of the biggest sports show on earth. And that flies in the face of the Olympic Charter that has an expectation games coverage will be allencompassing and will reach the biggest audience possible.

When workplaces go tribal T

here is a question that crops up over and over again in the world of business: why do good managers or business owners make bad decisions?

The answer is often to be found in the fact that, as expert as managers or owners may be, they are still human and there are some aspects of being human that interfere profoundly with the ability to make good decisions for the business.

Examples of this are psychological phenomena such as “pegging” (where the first number in a negotiation becomes the most significant – even if that number is hopelessly unrealistic), and “compartmentalisation” (where spending within a business may be considered acceptable just because it falls under a particular heading of spending).

Another more dramatic and often destructive aspect of hu-

man nature is the instinct to form tribal allegiances. This often leads to sub-optimal outcomes for individuals, businesses, and society.

A good example of this on a national scale in my view is Brexit, a sub-optimal outcome for the UK and Europe that was avoidable.

How avoidable? By strong and humble leadership.

Leaders of state, council, or business need to be aware that the human instinct is to form camps, tribes, allegiances and this comes at the expense of trust, respect and the ability to collaborate positively.

Just as strong leadership needs to constantly work against our base human nature; it is all too easy for leaders who are insecure to exploit the human instinct to “go tribal”. Often they will do this to try and deal what they perceive to be a threat to their leadership.

Once this happens, then commonsense goes out the window and the merits of the debate are completely lost. Winning the battle becomes the only objective, regardless of whether the outcome is good for the business.

Tribes form based on fear and ideas of inclusion and exclusion.

It invariably isn’t a good outcome for anyone, individual, or corporate.

Effective business leadership in 2016 means listening to people with different points of view within the team, and even giving those points of view credibility.

undermining tribalism, the idea that there is a them and us. Good leadership is about inclusion and empowerment.

Sadly, this often isn’t achieved: in business, local councils, or at a state level.

It holds economies and societies back. There may indeed be a victory of sorts.

One leader and their tribe of supporters may win, but it will feel hollow and negative.

The net position is always in my experience a loss. Rather like a war, the collateral damage caused doesn’t ultimately benefit anyone.

We need to recognise that we are living in a fundamentally alien world and our instincts were generally refined for another world that we have long since left behind.

■ UNITED STATES

Clinton on ‘witch trial’ Liar. Garbage. Lock her up.

Republicans at their national convention are putting Hillary Clinton on mock trial, declaring her guilty and issuing sentences that include death by firing squad, in a remarkable display of political rhetoric gone wild.

Even some Clinton haters say the vitriol has gone too far.

The focus on Clinton has sometimes upstaged what’s supposed to be a week long celebration and promotion of Donald Trump.

Instead of extolling the virtues of their nominee, Republicans have turned to increasingly crass slurs against his opponent.

One GOP delegate and adviser to Trump on veteran’s issues, Al Baldasaro, took it a step further than the rest.

He dubbed her a “piece of garbage” and suggested a punishment for alleged inaction during the 2012 Benghazi, Libya, attacks that left four Americans dead.

“Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason,” the New Hampshire state lawmaker said in an interview yesterday.

Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said that Trump and his campaign don’t agree with Baldasaro’s comment.

On the streets of Cleveland, demeaning buttons for sale say “Life’s a Bitch – Don’t Elect One” and “Trump vs. Tramp.”

Others have been even harsher and more vulgar, with crude references to parts of Clinton’s body.

Tony Ensminger, a 63-yearold selling buttons outside the arena, insisted “this was mild” compared to what Democrats

Culkin had ‘weird attraction’

Hillary Clinton is the focus of the Republican Party’s election strategy. said about former President George W Bush.

Visceral disdain for Clinton has been palpable all week on the convention floor, where the go-to chant is “Lock her up.”

One former GOP presidential candidate, Ben Carson, drew a connection between Clinton and Lucifer, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said scandals follow Clinton and her husband “like flies.”

It’s no surprise that Republicans are emphasising Clinton’s weaknesses more than Trump’s strengths.

The GOP’s strategy for winning in November rests in part on the hope that voters dislike the Democrat more than the Republican.

Fifty-seven per cent of Americans in a July Associated Press-GfK poll said they viewed Clinton unfavourably, as did 64 percent of independents who

don’t lean toward either party.

Slightly more, 63 percent overall, viewed Trump unfavourably; 62 percent of independents.

It’s those independents that Trump’s campaign hopes it can peel off – if it can keep up a steady drumbeat of negativity about Clinton.

Three-quarters of voters in the poll said their pick for president is motivated by a desire to cast their ballot against either Clinton or Trump.

Still, the criticism has triggered a backlash from some Republicans who say it’s beyond the pale.

Arizona Senator Jeff Flake, a Trump critic who’s skipping the GOP convention, tweeted that Republicans “can make the case that she shouldn’t be elected without jumping the shark.”

And Bill Pickle, a South Carolina delegate and talk radio host, said those doing the

name-calling “sound and act like demons.”

“I personally hate – I mean hate – all of the negativity,” Pickle said. “What happened to professionalism, manners and humanity in our politicians and citizens?”

Clinton, meanwhile, has sought to use the negativity to her advantage. She said the GOP convention had “felt like a dark turning point in American politics.”

“If you closed your eyes, you could imagine it being a lot like a witch trial – they were barely one step removed from screaming ‘burn her at the stake,’” the email said.

Though assailing the opposing candidate is standard fare at political conventions, this year the attacks have transcended policy positions and become intimately personal.

The relentless spotlight on an opponent’s supposed criminality is another departure. - AP

■ INDIA

Cow vigilante groups increasingly active

BY RAMA LAKSHMI It was a warning that went viral: scenes of four men being stripped, tied to a car and beaten by a Hindu group that proclaims to protect cows because they are regarded as sacred.

The video, uploaded by the attackers in western India, has opened a wider debate over caste conflict and rising rightwing Hindu rhetoric.

In India, the cow is considered holy, and many devout Hindus devote themselves to protecting cows from slaughter and abuse – sometimes with violent results.

On Tuesday, the lower-caste group fought back.

In a symbolic gesture, they left a number of carcasses of cows on the ground outside a government building during a

massive wave of protests during which they also torched buses and threw stones at police.

One protester died after drinking a poisonous floor cleaning liquid to protest against the Government’s inaction.

Cow vigilante groups have become increasingly active in many parts of India after the Hindu nationalist party of Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power two years ago.

They wield field hockey sticks, machetes and whips, and patrol highways for trucks transporting cows or plug into a network of village informers who feed them rumours about cow slaughter or beef consumption.

Modi’s party has control in Gujarat state, where the latest incident occurred.

The Dalits, once known as

the “untouchables” in India’s rigid centuries-old caste system, said the young men in the Gujarat video had not killed a cow, but that the animal died of other causes and was being taken for skinning, a traditional occupation of the caste group.

Yesterday, opposition party members in Parliament shouted slogans against Modi’s Government.

“The recent shocking incident in Gujarat where four Dalit youths were savagely beaten and humiliated publicly is just one example of the social terror this Government condones,” said Sonia Gandhi, the leader of the Opposition Congress Party.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh condemned the incident in Parliament but added that atrocities against Dalits have

occurred in India under previous governments, as well.

Responding to the protests, the Chief Minister of Gujarat has announced a high-level probe into the incident.

Last month, another video was released by a cow-protection group in the northern state Haryana, which showed two Muslim men being forced to eat cow dung and drink cow urine on suspicion that they were beef transporters.

Three days later, the police in Haryana even launched a special 24-hour help line for people to report incidents of cow smuggling or slaughter.

Last year, there was an outpouring of national anger when a Hindu mob dragged a 50-year old Muslim man out of his home and killed him on the allegation of eating beef.

Mila Kunis has opened up about the years she dated former child star Macaulay Culkin, saying “fans responded in a very abnormal way to him”. The pair’s nineyear relationship began in 2002, and Kunis told Howard Stern the Home Alone star’s fame was difficult to deal with.

“He was huge because you couldn’t walk down the street with him,” she said. “He always had this weird (attraction) ... fans just screamed - they didn’t know how to react. It wasn’t like a normal response to a celebrity. The fans responded in a very abnormal way to him.” In a candid interview, she was asked whether she ever loved Culkin enough to want to marry him. “Honestly, who knows, I just don’t know,” she said.

Kerr says yes to Spiegel Miranda Kerr has confirmed she is engaged. The 33-year-old model – who was previously married to Orlando Bloom – posted a picture of animated versions of her and her fiancé Evan Spiegel, who was down on one knee presenting her a ring, on her Instagram account yesterday over a picture of her real band. She captioned the picture, which had “Marry me!” written on it, “I said yes!!!” And the star shared love heart and smiley face emojis. It is somewhat of a surprise that the couple didn’t share their happy news on Snapchat seeing as 26-year-old Evan is the founder of the social media app.

Price of Hollywood success Technically, she’s an Australian. But Packed to the Rafters star Zoe Ventoura made it into the Sitting Room Only series, which focuses on Kiwi stars chasing their dreams in LA, because it was simply too good to leave out. Ventoura, who is best known to New Zealand viewers as Melissa from Packed to the Rafters, moved to Los Angeles after starring in the hit show.

She reflects on the bittersweet nature of success, which can often see actors taken away from their friends and family.

“If you’re successful ... then this is what’s going to happen, you’re going to be away from your partner ... It can kind of suck but then also if this is what I want to do and this is what I’m doing, then how great.”

Migration increase continues in June temporary work or student visas over the past three years begin to depart, and as the recovering Australian labour market begins to attract New Zealanders across the Tasman. Nevertheless, annual net migration will remain at historically elevated levels for some time yet.”

Of those new migrants who arrived in the year, a net 31,778, or 46 per cent, settled in Auckland, followed by a net 7023 moving to Canterbury, 3167 in Wellington, 2595 in Waikato, and 2452 in Bay of Plenty.

Most holidaymakers came from Australia, with 37,456 Australians travelling to New Zealand in the month.

On an annual basis, Australians made up 537,152 of the 1.7 million holidaymakers, while China

was the second biggest pool at 307,504. Business visitors were down 2.5 percent in June from a year earlier to 22,704, but up 4 per cent on an annual basis to 281,312, nearly two-thirds of whom came from across the Tasman.

ON THE MARKETS

ber 1.

The RBNZ intends to introduce a nationwide ‘speed limit’ on all investor lending, permitting no more than 5 per cent of lending at an LVR greater than 60 per cent.

This replaces the previous limit of 70 per cent and more importantly, extends it from Auckland to the entire country.

For owner-occupiers the speed limit will also be tightened, with no more than 10 per cent of commitments allowed to have an LVR of greater than 80 per cent. The RBNZ reiterated that restrictions on debt-to-income ratios are also under development, and could be introduced next year.

The week of RBNZ announcements culminated in Thursday morning’s unscheduled briefing on the economy. Due to current strength of the New Zealand dollar, speculation was that the announcement would contain updated expectations on the currency given that it is currently much higher than forecast rates.

The RBNZ commented that the notably “higher exchange rate is adding further pressure to dairy and manufacturing sectors and, together with weak global inflation is holding down tradeable goods inflation. This makes it

difficult for the Bank to meet its inflation objective. A decline in the exchange rate is needed.”

The update touched on global growth remaining slow despite accommodative monetary policy across the globe although domestic growth is expected to continue to be supported by strong migration, building, tourism and our accommodative monetary policy.

However, there are a number of risks that remain including geo-political tensions, increased financial market volatility and low dairy prices.

Following the announcement the market is all but certain that the RBNZ will cut rates by 25 basis points at its August meeting.

This will take our official cash rate from 2.25 per cent to 2 per cent and will be the lowest it has ever been, but still well above our global peers. The lower OCR is intended to lower the value of the currency and ensure inflation moves closer to the targeted range.

In other central bank news, the Reserve Bank of Australia released the minutes from its last meeting and revealed that a further rate cut could be on the cards there also, if inflation remains weak.

Next week quarter two inflation will be released and is expected to be 0.4 per cent for the quarter and 1.4 per cent for the year.

The market week in review he global market rally has continued this week as markets across the globe hit either year-to-date or all-time highs.

The New Zealand market has been no exception to this, hitting fresh highs again this week.

Markets in the US also reached record highs as investors processed positive results from the quarterly reporting season.

Japan’s Nikkei index has enjoyed further strength this week, not only from speculation that Shinzo Abe’s government will implement further fiscal stimulus, but also due to video-game maker Nintendo’s incredible rise following on from the global gaming phenomenon, Pokémon GO. The biggest economic news has been the two announcements from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand as well as the second quarter inflationary figure.

Inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in at 0.4 per cent for the quarter and 0.4 per cent on an annualised basis.

This missed market expectations, RBNZ forecasts and is well below the targeted range of between 1-3 per cent. The miss in inflation put further pressure on the RBNZ to cut rates at its next meeting, with the market pricing in a more than 70 per cent chance of a rate cut following this.

Later in the week, the RBNZ announced that after a brief consultation period with banks it intends to tighten loan-to-value (LVR) restrictions on residential mortgage lending from Septem-

nation’s shoulder season, rose 14 per cent to 3500 in the month of May and were up 15 per cent to 23,900 in the year.

New Zealand’s booming migration extended its run of posting new records in June, though economists say it may have peaked, while tourism numbers also continued their strong growth.

Annual net migration reached a new record 69,100 in June, rising from 68,400 in the year through May, and marking the twentythird month in a row that the annual net gain in migrants has set a new record, Statistics New Zealand said. At the same time, overseas short-term visitor arrivals reached 3.31 million in the year ended June 30, up 11 per cent on the year earlier.

A swelling population stoking more activity and record inflows of tourists have helped offset the impact of a rural sector reeling from weak dairy prices. At the same time, a rising population has posed problems for policymakers by fuelling demand for an already-stretched housing market in Auckland, while restraining wage growth. The nation’s per-

capita growth has been anaemic.

Today’s data show the inflow of net migration is steady with the seasonally adjusted monthly gain at 5700, down from a peak of 6200 in November last year.

Visitors on work visas accounted for the bulk of new arrivals, up 11 per cent to 39,118 in the year ended June 30, while those on student visas were up an annual 6.7 per cent at 27,518. The number of New Zealand and Australian citizens arriving rose 4.5 per cent to 36,428 in the year.

The Treasury said in the Budget that it expected annual net migration would peak in June at 70,700, before returning to the long-run average of 12,000 by June 2019.

“June net migration data was a smidgeon stronger than the last couple of months, but still consistent with our view that monthly net migration has passed the peak,” Westpac Banking Corp’s New Zealand senior economist Anne Boniface said in a note.

“We expect annual net migration to fall over the coming years, as foreigners who arrived on

Big Sam gets big job

Sam Watt will take on Hamilton fighter Jahsiah Hirini in today’s super heavyweight semi-final bout at the national championships in Rotorua.

Watt eyes another crown

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s Sam Watt will swap his rugby boots for boxing gloves as he prepares to take on Hamilton’s Jahsiah Hirini at the National Boxing Championships in Rotorua today.

A win over Hirini would book Watt a place in Saturday’s final, where he will be out to add the super heavyweight crown to his

six Canterbury, six South Island and two national titles.

Watt scored a technical knockout victory over Hirini when the two last met several years ago, and will be hoping to land another decisive body blow in today’s bout.

“I’ll be looking to set up my body shots well, that’s how I stopped him last time,” Watt said.

“He’ll be aware of that, but if

I can get those level changes in, that’s what I’ll be going for.”

The 24-year-old’s quest for more glory in the ring has come at a price, though.

Should Watt progress to the super heavyweight final, he will miss out on his beloved Celtic’s much-anticipated Watters Cup semi-final clash against Rakaia tomorrow.

Watt, who plies his trade at

blindside flanker and lock on the rugby paddock, said he has confidence in the greens, and will be keeping track of the score from Rotorua.

“I feel a bit selfish because Celtic have obviously got the Watters Cup semi-final, but hopefully the boys can pull through.

“I know they can, and that will be spurring me on as well,” he said.

Behave - or else A crackdown on behaviour will kick in when the new season starts with referees instructed to show yellow and red cards to unruly players, the English Premier League said yesterday. The unedifying sight of snarling players berating officials over decisions or hurling abuse has been the scourge of the game.

The Premier League, English Football League and Football Association have all clearly had enough. In a joint directive, the three organisations said disrespect towards match officials had to stop.

AFL ready for gay player

■ FREEDIVING

New diving record ‘astonishing feat’ Freedive world champion William Trubridge thought he missed out on another world record attempt yesterday morning when his body started to tell him he was low on oxygen.

The 36-year-old felt he was still too far from the surface but he pushed through the negative thoughts to complete his 18th world record in the Bahamas.

Trubridge swam to a depth of 102 metres and back to complete the world record that he fell agonisingly short of breaking in 2014.

Yesterday he made it to the surface with no issues, completing the attempt without touching a rope or using any form of propulsion assistance.

“It feels really good to get the monkey off my back.

“To do it with the whole nation behind me, it’s a relief and a huge sense of jubilation ... finally,” Trubridge said from his Bahamas base yesterday.

Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce was offered the England manager’s job overnight as Roy Hodgson’s successor. Personal terms and compensation for Sunderland, where Allardyce has 15 months left on his contract, are still to be thrashed out, but the FA have decided the 61-year-old is the right man to lead the team forward. Allardyce is expected to be offered a two-year deal up until the end of the next World Cup in Russia in 2018.

Kiwi diver William Trubridge on his way to a world record.

Trubridge said the descent towards the bottom was a comfortable procedure for him, but he began to struggle halfway through the ascent back to the surface.

“It was a tough dive.

“They are all pretty difficult

when I’m diving to this sort of depth.

“The descent on the way down, I felt good. I was relaxed, I was in the zone.

“When I turned at the bottom – that voice just kind of piped up and there was a moment there

when (I thought) ‘I’m going to get this’ and ushered in all the negative thoughts like ‘No you’re still 102 metres down, you’ve got a long way to go’,” he said.

“The ascent, I started to feel about halfway up, there’s kind of a draining feeling when you start to get low on oxygen.

“When I felt that I thought I was still too deep and that I may not make it.

“I started to get worried.”

Fortunately, he remained composed to reach the surface in 4 minutes and 13 seconds.

“But then I met my safety divers and stay on top of that feeling.”

In May he broke the free immersion dive record of 124 metres, where he used a rope to assist with descent and ascent.

In January 2015, Trubridge announced he had beaten his personal breath-holding record, after lasting nine minutes with “empty lungs”.

It’s been over six year since Jason Akermanis suggested “AFL footy is not ready” for an openly gay player. Much has changed since then, thanks in part to LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex) advocate Jason Ball. Ball in 2012 became the first male Australian rules football player at any level to publicly come out as gay. AFL football manager Mark Evans is confident the league has reached a point where a homosexual player would feel comfortable coming out. - AAP

Ward proud of century Callan Ward’s memory of his history-making goal for Greater Western Sydney is fresh in his mind. Partly because Ward recently watched a replay of the club’s inaugural game against Sydney in 2012, when the hardnosed midfielder became the first Giant to kick an AFL major. The co-captain will line up for his 100th match for GWS at Adelaide Oval on Sunday, having played 99 of 104 possible games to date.

More remarkable than the number is the fact he’ll do so for a side in the top four and destined for a maiden finals berth.

In brief

Savea on the bench All Blacks winger Julian Savea has been benched for the Hurricanes’ Super Rugby quarter-final clash against the Sharks in Wellington.

Coach Chris Boyd has made three changes to his starting team for Saturday, with Matt Proctor’s return from injury at centre pushing Jason Woodward out to the left wing in Savea’s place.

In the other two changes, props Loni Uhila and Ben May come into the front row.

Uhila starts at loosehead prop in place of Reggie Goodes, who is unavailable after suffering concussion during last weekend’s 3510 defeat of the Crusaders.

It will be Uhila’s first start of the season after 12 previous appearances off the reserves bench, while May also makes his first start of 2016.

“I’m pretty honoured to start, to be honest,” Uhila said.

“I’m a little bit nervous but I think that’s a good thing.”

Boyd said the 25-year-old Savea was poor in last week’s win in Christchurch and that he chose the side on merit.

It necessitated some tough choices.

“We’ve picked the best team for what’s ahead of us,” Boyd told reporters.

“At the end of the day, the team has been picked on form.

“I expect (Savea) to come on

A visit from a United States Vice President is not complete without meeting a few All Blacks. Just hours after stepping foot onto New Zealand soil US Vice President Joe Biden was being introduced to All Blacks. Jerome Kaino and Charlie Faumuina gifted Biden a signed All Blacks jersey with his name on the back. Biden said he played rugby for a year in the mid 70s and remembered watching the All Blacks “wreak havoc” against Ireland. He joked that the real reason for his visit was to meet some All Blacks.

- NZME

Hayne in talks with ARU Julian Savea didn’t have a good game against the Crusaders, and is on the bench this week. and make a bit of a statement.”

Boyd said Uhila, Woodward and Willis Halaholo had all performed strongly against the Crusaders and forced his hand.

Bay of Plenty prop Mike Kainga, a member of the Chiefs Super Rugby squad in 2013, takes his place on the reserves bench as

an injury replacement for frontline props Jeffery Toomaga-Allen (broken arm), Hisa Sasagi (calf strain) and Goodes.

Vince Aso has also shaken off a calf strain and has been named in the reserves.

Hurricanes: James Marshall, Cory Jane, Matt Proctor, Willis Halaholo,

Jason Woodward, Beauden Barrett, TJ Perenara, Victor Vito, Ardie Savea, Brad Shields, Michael Fatialofa, Vaea Fifita, Ben May, Dane Coles (captain), Loni Uhila.

Reserves: Ricky Riccitelli, Chris Eves, Mike Kainga, Mark Abbott, Callum Gibbins, Jamison Gibson Park, Vince Aso, Julian Savea.

Paddon happy to trade spots with Ogier Kiwi rally star Hayden Paddon refuses to bow down to three-time world champion Sebastien Ogier over one of the sport’s biggest talking points in 2016.

Ogier, who leads the world championship by 51 points heading to next week’s Rally Finland, has been complaining about the starting order or world championship events all season.

Current rules state that championship order dictates the starting order on the first two legs of a WRC event meaning Ogier, who has led the championship all season, has been disadvantaged by having to run first on gravel stages, sweeping the way clear for the following cars to have more grip.

Ogier has even threatened to quit the sport should the FIA extend the same rules to a full rally next season.

“It is completely blown out of proportion,” Paddon said about the ongoing issue.

“The only reason it has come to surface so much this year is that you have had one person complaining about it so much.

“He has probably been a bit unlucky in that all the gravel rallies this year have tended to be dry but that is the beauty of our sport.

An all-New Zealand Super Rugby semi-final round is possible ... but is it going to happen? The TAB has set odds at $5.25 for four New Zealand teams to advance this week. While at the other end of the scale, it’s $61 for zero teams to make it.

Biden gets AB jersey

■ MOTOR RACING

By Dale BuDge

What are the odds?

“If it had rained he would have had a huge advantage. The tables can turn so quickly.

“We are also about to go into a series of tarmac rallies where it is better to be first on the road and all of a sudden he is going to have an advantage for four or five rallies.”

Ogier won the first two rallies of the year in Monte Carlo and Sweden but hasn’t tasted success since although he has banked consistent results that have seen him take a commanding lead in the championship.

A number of other drivers – Jari-Matti Latvala, Paddon, Kris Meeke, Theirry Neuville and Andreas Mikkelsen have all captured rally wins since leading to Ogier’s growing resentment.

Paddon admits road position has played a part in those results but he also points to the gap closing between Ogier’s Volkswagen team and the other manufacturers this year.

“It has changed because our team has become a lot more competitive and closed that gap with him and Volkswagen.

In the past they would have had enough of a buffer to get away with being first on the road but the competition is so tight now that it is almost a determining factor.

Kiwi driver Hayden Paddon “You can understand his frustration but at the end of the day he is first on the road on merit because he is leading the championship.

“If he wanted to trade spots with me I would be quite happy to because it means we’d be leading the world championship.”

Paddon admits however that he would like to see the rules tweaked in 2017.

“I do believe it needs to change but not to the extent that a lot of people are saying,” the 29-yearold Hyundai driver explained.

“For me it should go back to what the roots of rallying have always been and what it is in the New Zealand Championship

where you have championship order on day one and then classification order on day two and day three.

“That means if you lose too much time on day one and drop back you have the opportunity to make it up on day two and likewise day three.

“It has been like that forever all through the 60s, 70s and 80s it has what it has always been.”

As for his battle with Ogier – the three-time world champion has made some disparaging remarks about the Kiwi – Paddon sees the growing frustration and sniping from the Frenchman as a back-handed compliment.

“Oh definitely.

“There are a lot of mind games that happen in the background and that is all part of it.

“We are all competitors and we are trying to beat each other and you look for every opportunity you can.

“I can understand his frustration but we are rallying; we are not doing circuit racing.

“It is the same when we come back home to New Zealand and compete because you are first on the road because you are the fastest driver or whatever it may be – you don’t complain about it you just get on with it and do the job.”

Jarryd Hayne has reportedly met the Australian Rugby Union about a possible switch to the NSW Waratahs in a move that could ruin the Eels’ chances of getting their elite star back into the NRL at Parramatta. After failing to make the cut for Fiji’s Olympic sevens team for the Rio Games, it was widely expected the ex-49ers’ NFL player would return to the Eels.

However, Hayne met ARU boss Bill Pulver in Sydney on Wednesday to discuss the prospect of joining fellow code-hopper Israel Folau at the Waratahs in Super Rugby.- AAP

In brief

■ RUGBY

Whitelock in for big game

By AdriAn Seconi Never let it be said the Highlanders are frightened to try something new.

The defending champions have named Luke Whitelock at lock for their quarter-final against the Brumbies in Canberra tonight.

Whitelock shifted to lock with about 15 minutes remaining in the 25-15 win against the Chiefs at Forsyth Barr Stadium last week and coach Jamie Joseph obviously liked what he saw from the hard-working loosie.

Or perhaps Joseph just wants his best ball players involved in the crunch match.

With Liam Squire back in the starting XV after impressing from the bench against the Chiefs, and co-captain Shane Christie returning from illness, Whitelock either had to shift to lock or on to the bench, and he has been going too well to leave him on the sideline.

The rejig means lock Alex Ainley drops out of the squad, as does flanker James Lentjes.

In the other personnel change, midfield back Rob Thompson joins the squad, with Joseph returning to a five-three split on the bench.

Prop Josh Hohneck and hooker Ash Dixon will be playing their 50th Super rugby games.

Starting with Whitelock at lock could be seen as a punt, considering the Brumbies rely on their set piece.

They have a strong scrum and a fondness for lineout drives.

It might be one of the Brumbies’ best chances to win a Super Rugby title but it’s certainly not their last, according to departing star Matt Toomua.

The ACT franchise play the

Rakaia and Celtic will face off tomorrow for the right to lock horns with Southern in the Watters Cup final on July 30. Rakaia are on a quest to retain the 90-yearold cup for a fourth successive season, while Celtic will be out to end 10 years of hurt since they last co-held the title with Southern in 2006. Pick up tomorrow’s Guardian for a full match preview.

Watters Cup semi-final: Celtic v Railway, Celtic Rugby Grounds, 2.45pm.

Stormers coach unhappy

Luke Whitelock has got the nod at lock for the Highlanders against the Brumbies.

The weather is expected to be wet as well, which may play into the home team’s hands.

Of course, the Highlanders have leaned heavily on a quality kicking game and back their defence.

Whitelock’s inclusion at lock will certainly help with that game plan.

He brings more mobility to the pack than Ainley and his work ethic and defence is a big asset.

Meanwhile, David Pocock will make his return for the Brumbies. The flanker has been side-

lined since sustaining a fracture to his eye socket during Australia’s match against England six weeks ago.

The Brumbies have, however, lost towering test lock Rory Arnold to an elbow injury. Blake Enever comes into the second row in his place, while the pacy Robbie Coleman comes in for James Dargaville on the left wing.

Brumbies: Scott Sio, Stephen Moore (c), Ruan Smith, Blake Enever, Sam Carter, Scott Fardy, David Pocock, Jarrad Butler, Tomas Cubelli, Christian Lealiifano (c), Robbie Coleman, Matt Toomua,

Brumbies have a ‘good chance’, says Toomua By roje AdAimy

It’s do or die time

Highlanders in the first quarter final tonight at GIO Stadium and are the only Australian team in the playoffs.

While they are quietly confident of beating the reigning champions, a loss would spell the end for a number of big-name

“We’ve got a good opportunity (this year). Post that, I’m sure the guys upstairs have got plans of how to do that.”

Far from being thrilled to have a home quarter-final against the Chiefs on Sunday morning, Stormers coach Robbie Fleck is frustrated by the Super Rugby format which has benefited his side. As conference winners from Africa 1, the Stormers along with Africa 2 winners the Lions are guaranteed home quarter-finals under the playoff format, despite the Stormers having fewer points than the sixth-placed Chiefs.

Fleck is lamenting the fact his side didn’t face any New Zealand opposition in the round robin which he feels puts the Stormers at a disadvantage despite being at home this weekend.

New Sharks boss Former Springbok captain Gary Teichmann has been named the new CEO of the Sharks Super Rugby franchise, replacing fellow exSouth African skipper John Smit.

Teichmann, played for the Sharks when Super Rugby was launched in 1992 and captained South Africa in 39 Tests from 1996-99, being handed the armband after just six matches for the Boks. Smit departs in October after three years in the job during which income has declined alarmingly, forcing the struggling local rugby union to sell shares in the franchise this week to raise cash to clear debt.

Pocock a target The Brumbies expect the Highlanders to target David Pocock in his expected return from injury in tonight’s Super Rugby quarterfinal. The superstar flanker hasn’t played since fracturing his eye socket six weeks ago in the Wallabies first Test against England.

Supercars heating up at Ipswich

BY ED JACKSON After an open first half of the Supercars championship, the cream is rising to the top in this year’s title race.

Six-time champion Jamie Whincup heads into this weekend’s Ipswich SuperSprint at Queensland Raceway holding a narrow 53-point lead over Red Bull Racing teammate Shane Van Gisbergen.

Just behind them is reigning champion Mark Winterbottom, with the Ford ace only 22 points adrift of Van Gisbergen.

It means despite a season featuring 10 different race winners and multiple championship leaders the top trio are starting to take a stranglehold on this year’s title battle.

Holden veteran Craig Lowndes and Volvo’s Scott McLaughlin are hanging into the title race but are already 153 and 171 points behind Whincup respectively.

Winterbottom, who won both races at Ipswich last year on his way to his maiden Supercars title, says the fact the track is the home of his Red Bull Racing rivals could be as much of a hindrance as a help.

“Going to your test track doesn’t always work for you,” the Prodrive Racing Australia star said.

“Conditions can change and you’ve tested all these items and then you don’t get on top of it and a fresh team has new challenges.

“It will make for good racing at that track, it is always a tough one and I just hope we can win again because it does feel better when you can beat them on their home turf.”

Winterbottom will make his 400th Supercars’ race start tomorrow but Holden ace Whincup is also chasing a major milestone.

Whincup posted his 99th career race win at Townsville earlier this month and victory in either of the two races this weekend will make him the second driver in Supercars history after Lowndes to win 100 races.

Lowndes himself will be hoping to add to his 11 race wins at the venue in a bid to reignite his flagging championship tilt.

The Ipswich SuperSprint begins today with practice before a 39-lap race tomorrow and a 65-lap race on Sunday.

22/7 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Someone near you is lonelier than you know, but you can help. It won’t take much. Children aren’t the only ones who are fortified by social development efforts.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): There’s a time and a place for self-scrutiny, but that’s for another day.

Right now, rest assured there is absolutely nothing to be gained from focusing on what you did wrong.

Consider your successes and build on them.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The thing that will give you the most energy and motivation today will be something quite out of the ordinary. Travel off your usual path to sparkle up your mind’s eye.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Your favourite people will be around, and you’ll have time to enjoy each other. It doesn’t happen like this all the time, and tonight will get even better.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): It will feel as though things are starting to happen for you. Whether or not you see the hard evidence for this now, there’s a vision in your head that’s starting to solidify in real time.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Like most socially successful people, you spend so much time effectively controlling and censoring yourself to cater to the company you’re in that when you finally find yourself with a kindred spirit, it’s an absolute party.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Once you work yourself into a good mood, it will prove more than a good mood; you will exist in an optimal state of being for a long stretch. Is this because of the exercise?

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): At times today your thoughts will be a whirlpool. What’s at the vortex of this swirl? If it’s something wonderful, you might want to get dragged into it. If not, seek higher ground.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): It’s easier to be organised when you don’t have or want much, when the distractions are few and when your hours to work on what matters are many. It won’t happen naturally, but how can you make it happen?

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): A few things will be accomplished piece by piece, but a lot of things will be finished with a system. If your life were a factory, what would that look like?

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Your most sincere wish is for the people you love to find happiness, be at peace, and experience beauty – preferably, with you as a key component. Is this still your wish?

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Your inside world is a landscape, some of which is lovely, as you have cultivated with mental gardening; still, much of it is wild. Grab your weed whacker and go to town.

Coach blasts judiciary Warriors coach Andrew McFadden has slammed the seven match suspension handed down to Charlie Gubb at the NRL judiciary. Gubb’s been found guilty of a grade two shoulder charge, with the Warriors failing to get it downgraded.

McFadden says there’s an inconsistency across the board, when it comes to players serving bans. “It’s not in line with other charges in the game.

Currently you can knock a player out or break a player’s jaw and play the next week.” McFadden says at the end of the day, they’re handing out jail terms for parking tickets.

Carter happy with ABs Andre Van Rooyen has taken up the head coach role at Mid Canterbury tennis.

Challenge excites coach

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Andre Van Rooyen is settling into his new surroundings at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre as his second week as head coach of Mid Canterbury Tennis comes to an end.

Van Rooyen has more than 27 years of coaching experience, including spells in Timaru, Southland and Nelson since emigrating from his native South Africa.

Before arriving in New Zealand in 2008, Van Rooyen oper-

ated a tennis academy in Johannesburg, where a number of his students were selected to play for college teams in the US. He also prepared players for the international competitive tennis arena, assisting those participating in the ATP satellite and challenger circuits in Africa, Europe and the US. During his time in Nelson, Van Rooyen contributed significantly to the growth of both junior and adult membership of the Nelson Lawn Tennis Club and the Tasman Bays Region.

But he felt it was too good an opportunity to pass by when the chance came to move south.

“When we saw the opportunity to come here three months ago, I showed it to my wife Debbie and we both said, ‘we’ve got to give this a go,’” he said.

He is now eager to nurture the tennis talent in Mid Canterbury within what he describes as a “world class facility” at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre.

“I’ve been around and there’s not many of these centres out there.

“You’re not going to see this often in any country in the world,” he said.

“I’m part of a very good team, and Mid Canterbury tennis excites me”.

Van Rooyen’s ethos is one of inclusion, as he hopes to involve those keen to play from all age groups and backgrounds – which can only be positive for tennis in the district.

“I want to get the best out of players so they can be the best that they can be at any level and any age.”

Bennett declares NRL title race wide open Don’t write anyone off yet.

Wayne Bennett has adopted the mantra ahead of Brisbane’s NRL clash with Penrith tonight, insisting the premiership race is still wide open.

Sixth-placed Brisbane will try to stay in touch with runa-

way pacesetters Cronulla and Melbourne with a win over exBroncos coach Anthony Griffin’s Panthers at Suncorp Stadium.

But Bennett has dismissed the notion that the 2016 title can only be won by a top-four team.

Federer to play in Hopman Cup P15

“Finals football is all about momentum,” he said. “I’ve seen teams play woeful three weeks out from the finals ... then win a tough game in the play-offs and they are on their way.

“Don’t write anyone off yet.”

The Broncos don’t have much

momentum just yet – they snapped a stretch of five losses in six games with last round’s 30-10 victory over South Sydney.

Brisbane have a good run into the finals, facing just two sides currently in the top eight – the Bulldogs and Melbourne. - AAP

Despite being the All Blacks first campaign without him since his retirement, first-five great Dan Carter has revealed he enjoyed being a fan while watching his former side back in France. Carter ended his international career following last year’s Rugby World Cup, taking up a contract with French side Racing.

Carter led the side to the French Top 14 title as well as the Heineken Cup final. Carter said he was very impressed with the All Blacks’ whitewash over the Welsh last month. I was extremely impressed but it’s what I expected. They’re such a formidable outfit,” Carter said.

Petty in Diamond League The perfect final pit stop on the path to her first Olympics for runner Angie Petty. She’s received an invite to compete at the London Diamond League meet this weekend, the last major event before Rio. Petty had hoped for a call up for the 800 metres, but was left to wait awhile.

She didn’t think she was going to be in, until she ran two minutes flat in Belgium last week. Shotputter Tom Walsh will also compete in London.
