BY GUARDIAN REPORTERS

The Ashburton District escaped with just minor damage from the southerly blast that hammered much of Canterbury late on Wednesday afternoon. After the district sweltered in temperatures that topped 32°C early in the afternoon, storm clouds rolled in around 7pm and torrential rain and high winds whipped the district for more than an hour. The rough conditions made driving

treacherous as vehicles were battered by flying debris and sheets of rain, but when the storm clouds cleared, apart from windblown debris and some damage to trees, the district escaped unscathed. Firefighters were kept busy for a period of just over an hour. Ashburton, Hinds and Rakaia were all on deck dealing with fallen trees and damaged powerlines. Members of the Ashburton fire unit were first to be called out at 7.06pm, responding to a lifting roof at a Hampstead

address. “Given the wind that we got and the amount of water that fell in the short period of time we were relatively unscathed,” fire chief Alan Burgess said. At 7.34pm, Rakaia were called to reports of a tree that had fallen on to power lines in Chertsey, Rakaia fire chief Tyrone Burrowes said.

■ NEW HOME BUILDS

Spoilt for section choice By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Builders might have knocked up more than 160 new homes around the Ashburton District last year, but there is still plenty of residential land available for new home builds, a real estate consultant says. Options might be getting fewer in Ashburton’s west, but across wider Ashburton new home builders still have plenty of choice, Hamish Niles said. “We’ve got a bit of capacity for a while yet. Over the last five to 10 years we had quite a few subdivisions come on stream at about the same time and that satisfied some of the pent-up demand; there’s been plenty of choice for a while now and there’s still a good range of sections and prices,” he said. There was plenty of choice in the Tinwald area with Lake Hood, and land on the east and west of State Highway One, and in the Braebrook area and on Geoff Geering Drive there were also plenty of options, Niles said. “I believe in a few years’ time there will be the potential to do a few more subdivisions. “Most people can find a sec-

tion and there’s still ample supply right now but in the next few years that might change.” Location driven home builders

would sometimes look at demolishing or relocating older homes to secure the right section, while others, in the inner town in par-

ticular were subdividing their sections for infill housing projects, he said. Ashburton District Council en-

vironmental services group manager Jane Donaldson said there would be an opportunity to look at new subdivision options when the District Plan was reviewed. Work on this will start next year. The current District Plan became operative in 2014 and must be reviewed every 10 years. “The consultation for the review also gives the opportunity for the public to comment about whether we have enough land and what type of land the community wants (for subdivision),” Donaldson said. Currently there were still blocks available for subdivision such as near Beach Road in the east for residential C suburban development and off Racecourse Road, for residential D development, she said. In addition the District Plan also provided for higher density living closer to the town centre, including provision for apartments in the area closer to the CBD. “This provides significant capacity for infill growth if the market demands. At this stage there does not seem to be a shortage of residential land, however, we will look at it in more detail as part of the District Plan review.”

■ WILD WEATHER

Mid Canterbury blown around in southerly blast From P1 “There was one tree that had fallen on to a powerline in Chertsey but it was all safe, so we just left it for EA Networks and their bucket to take care of,” he said. “I thought we would have got hammered but we had no other call-outs.” Rakaia also attended a medical call-out yesterday morning at 4.43am. Hinds firefighters spent the

most time out of the station of all the firefighters at nearly two hours after having to wait for power to be turned off to lines that had fallen and set fire to a power pole. “Water and electricity don’t mix so we just had to wait,” Hinds fire chief Dave Kingsbury said. “While we were out there we had another reported incident, so once we had put the pole out we headed down the road and cleared a fallen tree off it.

“We also responded to a tree topper that was on fire earlier in the day so it was a busy day, we have had a quiet few weeks but with weather you can’t do a thing about it.” Firefighters from Geraldine also responded to reports of a fallen tree on powerlines in the Carew area near Arundel Rakaia Gorge Road and Withells Road. Ashburton District Council service delivery group manager Neil

McCann said that no roads were closed as a result of the storm. “We’ve been very fortunate from a roading perspective and we haven’t had any reports in of damage,” he said. The council’s open spaces team had checked the district’s parks and found very little damage. “There were one or two branches blown down and around in the domain and that’s all. We can count ourselves very lucky.”

Graham’s Weather Station in Ashburton recorded 13.3mm of rain during the downpour, 1.2mm of this falling in just one minute at 8.11pm. The station showed a temperature of 32.1 degrees at 2.03pm with a dramatic fall of 24 degrees to just 8.3 degrees at 11.59pm Environment Canterbury’s weather data showed that 8mm of rain fell at its Hinds Plains recoding station.

Creating a party vibe amongst friends BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton’s own Tainui Kuru will be creating a party vibe amongst friends when he performs on Saturday night. The 27-year-old former Ashburton College head boy and NASDA graduate is returning to his home town as a member of the Modern Maori Quartet. He said it was a quartet that the original members formed at a party in Wellington about six years ago. “The OGs got together around a guitar and started jamming away,” Kuru said. He was asked to come on board four years later, and has fitted in the quartet’s performance schedule with freelance work ever since. Kuru has travelled with fellow members to Edinburgh and London, and they did a 10-city tour in China last year. He said it was in the spirit of the group’s initial ethos, that he and fellow members aimed to create a garage party vibe on stage. They also wanted to pay homage to previous Maori quartets such as the Howard Morrison Quartet. They were looking forward to performing in Ashburton for the first time this weekend, alongside guest artist Troy Kin-

gi. Tainui was expecting all his family, all his friends, as well as friends of friends. He said his sister and her friends were particularly excited to see fellow quartet member Jamie McCaskill, who was also a Shortland Street actor, perform. Kuru and McCaskill will join originals Matariki Whatarau and Maaka Pohatu on stage, and they will regale the audience with many an anecdote and song. While only four members perform at any one time, the quartet comprises 10 members altogether, including the four originals. Kuru said he was loving his performers’ life, although it involved a lot of travel. “I’m based in Auckland, but my house is pretty much my glorified storage unit,” he said. His partner Laura-Jean Bainbridge, a personal trainer, was a great support and grounding force in his life. Kuru’s theatrical commitments include working for Operatunity, which specialises in daytime concerts touring around New Zealand, and he has four planned for this year. He was last in Ashburton playing the lead of Tony Manero for the touring musical Saturday Night Fever in 2017.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COURT

New family violence charges New family violence charges, including strangulation and assault on a person in a family relationship, are now being seen in the Ashburton District Court. Three new offences were introduced in December as part of legislation that will come into force in two stages.

carries a maximum penalty of seven years jail. Defence counsel Clare Yardley said Reuben was pleading not guilty to the charges, which were set down for a judge-alone trial later in the year. The case will be called for review on March 18.

Coercion to marry is also now an offence. In the Ashburton court this week, Jeremy Alan Reuben faced charges of strangulation, assaulting a female, assault with intent to injure and breaching a protection order. The new strangulation offence

In the meantime he is on bail, with conditions including a nightly curfew. Reuben pleaded guilty to an unrelated charge of breaching community work. He was sentenced to 90 hours community work in May last year on charges of cultivating

cannabis and possession of a firearm. He failed to report, despite warnings to comply. He had 80 hours outstanding on Monday, but Judge Joanna Maze cancelled the order. He will be sentenced on that breach on February 25.

Performers wow the crowds Crowds in Ashburton are being wowed as the Zirka Circus that is in town hits full flight. Last in Ashburton two years ago, they are looking forward to

entertaining Ashburton crowds once again, and will hold shows today and tomorrow at 2pm and 7pm, with the final show on Sunday at 1pm.

The travelling group has been in town since Monday setting up the big-top where 18 performers aged between 13 and 26 are performing.

240119-JPM-0043

“We’re really excited about this show, it’s fantastic and we can’t wait to bring it to the people of Ashburton,” a show representative said.

“The talent, beauty and strength of the acrobats will leave you speechless as you watch them perform acts that are simply exquisite.”

■ DOCTORS’ STRIKE

Providing patient care top priority Mid Canterbury people could be amongst those affected by a second planned junior doctors’ strike next week. Members of the New Zealand Resident Doctors’ Association (RDA) are planning a second strike for 48 hours from 8am on Tuesday until 8am on Thursday. The strike will affect some surgery and outpatient clinics planned for next week. Patients affected by the strike will have had their appointments

or surgeries rebooked. Canterbury DHB’s chief people Officer Michael Frampton said continuing to provide safe care for patients during the strike remained the highest priority and focus for the Canterbury Health System. “We are prioritising essential and acute services, which means that some outpatient appointments and planned surgeries are being rescheduled. We will be re-booking those affected to the

next available appointment. “Patients who have appointments or surgery booked during the strike period can expect to hear from Canterbury DHB. If people don’t hear from us, they should turn up as per their appointment letter. “I apologise in advance to those whose surgery or outpatient appointment has to be postponed.” The Emergency Department at Christchurch Hospital will remain open during the strike as

will Christchurch Women’s Hospital. Frampton said people could help take pressure off emergency services during the strike period by phoning their general practice team first for all non-urgent care. “Some complex surgery planned for the days leading up to the strike will also need to be postponed, as well as some surgery and outpatient clinics on the 29th and 30th of January. “Our contingency plans involve

reducing the numbers of people in our hospitals. “Some people may be discharged with in-home care and support where it’s safe and appropriate to do so.” Canterbury DHB employs around 550 resident medical officers and expects most will strike. People who want to check if their surgery or outpatient clinic appointment has to be rescheduled can phone 0800 778 226.

“We had an end-of-the-year clearout sale of our secondhand cars. We promoted this in the Guardian with a full page ad. We were happy, when we asked potential customers how they heard about the sale, when they said the Guardian. The ad worked for us.”

Temperatures likely to soar If it feels like you’re living in an oven over the weekend, you won’t be wrong because a ridge of high pressure is set to roast the nation. Following a burst of nasty weather which thumped parts of the South Island yesterday, a hot weekend is likely with many places expected to hit 30°C. Extreme wind gusts in Central Otago and Canterbury cut power to thousands and even created surf spots on the usually placid Lake Wakatipu. Dormant surfers in Queenstown packed up their boards and wetsuits and caught a couple of sets on the lake near Fernhill. Meanwhile, parts of Kaikoura and Canterbury were without power yesterday after being hit by extreme wind gusts of up to 170km/h overnight. Looking forward, a ridge of high pressure will build over New Zealand today, inviting largely settled conditions for much of the country. However, a trough is forecasted to linger over the upper North Island in the afternoon, triggering isolated showers from Bay of Plenty to Northland. Metservice meteorologist Rob Kerr said warm northwesterly winds will rise over the South Island on Saturday as the ridge stalls over the upper North Island. “Areas of heavy rain are forecast for the

West Coast of the South Island, with gales affecting eastern parts of the South Island and lower North Island,” he said. “The warm air blown in by the northwesterlies parks up over New Zealand on Sunday, and temperatures across the country are expected to soar, with many places expected to break the 30°C barrier during the afternoon. “The high humidity is likely to mean some uncomfortable nights as we start the working week, with minimum temperatures around 20°C for many places.” The hot weather isn’t set to subside after the weekend either, WeatherWatch.co.nz forecasting many regions to have daily highs between 27 and 32°C. Next week looks to be consistently warmer than this week but another cool period is due in the deep south towards Thursday afternoon or Friday. Those heading outdoors throughout the country over the next of days are advised to fine shade, drink plenty of water and apply amble-amounts of sunscreen. Elsewhere across the ditch, Australia remains to sweat as an extreme heatwave brings temperatures of up to 45°C across some parts. Yesterday afternoon, Adelaide broke an 80-year heat record when the mercury hit a scouring 46.2C. - NZME

Musical newspapers and lots and lots of books Ashburton Public Library visitors Eliza Middleton (front), 6, and Lily McConnell, 11, stay put on their patch of newspaper in a game based on musical chairs at the library this week. The game was held alongside a fashion parade of costumes made from newspaper, as part of a final prize draw for the library’s reading challenge. Entrants were given the task of reading 20 books each over the holidays. Children’s librarian Jonathan Nixon said it was “awesome” to have a high number, 123, of completions. “In total that’s 2460 books, I was most impressed,” he said. PHOTO SUSAN SANDYS 230119-SS-0002

‘Jailhouse lawyer’ paroled One of New Zealand’s most high-profile prisoners, who has been behind bars for four decades, will be released. Arthur William Taylor was granted parole esterday after being denied 19 times prior. He was due to remain in prison until October 2022. A New Zealand Parole Board spokesperson told the Herald parole was granted for Taylor at a hearing yesterday afternoon. His release date will be next month, while a full written decision outlining the Parole Board’s reasons will be available within the next two weeks. Taylor was serving 17 and a half years for charges of explosives, firearms, kidnapping and conspiracy to supply methamphetamine, among other crimes. The 62-year-old has more than 150 con-

victions for offences including bank robbery, burglary, fraud and drugs and has spent almost 40 years behind bars. His first charge dates back to 1972 when he appeared in the Youth Court on a forgery charge. Taylor’s criminal life hit the headlines in 1998 after he escaped from the maximum security prison at Paremoremo north of Auckland with three others, including double murderer Graeme Burton. The group made their way to the Coromandel, where they hunkered down in luxury holiday homes, including the bach of a multi-millionaire, and the bush to evade authorities. In recent years he has become better known as the “jailhouse lawyer” after a series of successful court cases. - NZME

■ AUSTRALIA

In brief

Cave divers vie for title Two mates thrust into the global spotlight for their heroic roles in rescuing a Thai junior soccer team could be crowned joint winners of Australian of the Year. South Australian anaesthetist Richard Harris and West Australian retired vet Craig Challen took out their state awards for July’s daring salvage of 12 young boys and their coach from a flooded cave in Thailand. “For two good mates to share the award would be tremendous,” Dr Harris said ahead of today’s ceremony in Canberra. It’s been a whirlwind six months for the two cave divers. Worldwide media attention, movie and book deals, and Australia’s highest civilian honour – the Star of Courage. Dr Harris wants to use his platform to encourage kids to get outdoors and find their inner explorer. “Maybe get a few grazed knees and stub their toes. Climb a tree, get off their screens and get outside,” Harris said. Challen believes the rescue effort is a metaphor for seizing opportunities in life. “Australia is a place that presents us with so many opportunities. It’s up to all of us to step up and take it, give it a go,” he said. Champion athlete Kurt Fearnley has been nominated for the national award after a glittering 20-year wheelchair racing career. “The sport gave me life. The sport changed the way I saw myself in about 10 seconds,” Fearnley said. The NSW Australian of the

A popular wilderness track destroyed by Victoria’s Black Saturday bushfires and thought to never recover, will reopen a decade after the disaster. The track at Kinglake National Park was destroyed in one of the largest of many fires burning throughout the state on February 7, 2009. The damage to the park’s towering Mountain Ash trees was so extensive it was thought the track, which is less than 2km from the township of Kinglake, would never be safe to reopen. But slowly, nature has recovered and the national park is once again home to healthy plants and animals.

Tasmania burns

Cave divers Richard Harris and Craig Challen are up for a national award. Year, who was born without part of his spine, has also been an advocate for people with disability, campaigning for greater access in communities and workplaces. Queensland’s finalist is Detective Inspector Jon Rouse, the man behind Australia’s first police operation proactively targeting online child sex predators. He’s urging parents to stop their children from taking mobile devices to bed, illustrating his point with the case of a 12-yearold girl who was talking to an offender through a mobile device. “Over the next three hours he

instructs her to do some really horrendous, depraved things in her bedroom. You could hear her parents in the other room,” Det Insp Rouse said. Former Essendon AFL star Michael Long’s work in reconciliation and efforts to stamp out racism have earned him a shot at the major award after taking out the NT prize in November. Tasmanian Bernadette Black founded the BRAVE foundation, Australia’s only national organisation supporting and representing 8300 expectant and parenting teenagers a year.

She’s in the running for the national gong, along with ACT women’s advocate and journalist Virginia Haussegger for her work with a foundation striving for gender equality in public life. Victorian Australian of the Year Mark Sullivan, is the founder and managing director of not-forprofit Medicines Development for Global Health.

■ UNITED STATES

Robots are coming for your jobs Robots aren’t replacing everyone, but a quarter of US jobs will be severely disrupted as artificial intelligence accelerates the automation of existing work, according to a new Brookings Institution report. The report, published Thursday, says roughly 36 million Americans hold jobs with “high exposure” to automation — meaning at least 70 per cent of their tasks could soon be performed by machines using current technology. Among those most likely to be affected are cooks, waiters and others in food services; short-haul truck drivers; and clerical office workers. “That population is going to need to upskill, reskill or change jobs fast,” said Mark Muro, a senior fellow at Brookings and lead author of the report. Muro said the timeline for the changes could be “a few years or it could be two decades”. But it’s likely that automation will happen more swiftly during the next economic downturn. Businesses are typically eager to implement cost-cutting technology as they lay off workers.

Track reopened

Robots could be in kitchens. Some economic studies have found similar shifts toward automating production happened in the early part of previous recessions — and may have contributed to the “jobless recovery” that followed the 2008 financial crisis. But with new advances in artificial intelligence, it’s not just industrial and warehouse robots that will alter the American workforce. Self-checkout kiosks and computerised hotel conci-

erges will do their part. Most jobs will change somewhat as machines take over routine tasks, but a majority of US workers will be able to adapt to that shift without being displaced. The changes will hit hardest in smaller cities, especially those in the heartland and Rust Belt and in states like Indiana and Kentucky, according to the report by the Washington think tank. They

will also disproportionately affect the younger workers who dominate food services and other industries at highest risk for automation. Some chain restaurants have already shifted to self-ordering machines; a handful have experimented with robot-assisted kitchens. Google this year is piloting the use of its digital voice assistant at hotel lobbies to instantly interpret conversations across a few dozen languages. Autonomous vehicles could replace short-haul delivery drivers. Walmart and other retailers are preparing to open cashier-less stores powered by in-store sensors or cameras with facial recognition technology. “Restaurants will be able to get along with significantly reduced workforces,” Muro said. “In the hotel industry, instead of five people manning a desk to greet people, there’s one and people basically serve themselves.” Many economists find that automation has an overall positive effect on the labor market. - AP

Residents in parts of southern and central Tasmania are being told to leave their homes ahead of earlymorning hazardous fire conditions. Eight new fires started yesterday, adding to 50 others across the state with two-thirds considered uncontained, as authorities braced for worsening conditions. The hazard is set to peak today, with hours of dry air, temperatures reaching into the high 30s, and 40km/h winds gusting up to 90km/h. “The best thing people can do in these conditions is leave early,” the Tasmania Fire Service warned.

Dogs attack trio A 40-year-old man is fighting for his life and a woman and her young daughter have been taken to hospital after the trio was attacked by two dogs in Sydney’s west. The man suffered multiple bites and went into cardiac arrest following yesterday’s attack at a home in Tregear. The dogs – a male and a female – are described on their registration as American Staffordshire terriers, a spokesman for Blacktown City Council told AAP. He said the critically injured man was not the dogs’ owner but was staying at the house. The 40-year-old suffered multiple lacerations to his body when he was mauled by the dogs, according to CareFlight which sent a rapid response helicopter with a medical team to the scene. He needed a blood transfusion and was placed in an induced coma before being transported by road to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition. A 30-year-old woman and her 10-year-old daughter were also bitten by the two dogs and taken to the same hospital for treatment.

Trump blamed A strong majority of Americans blame President Donald Trump for the record-long government shutdown and reject his primary rationale for a border wall, according to a new poll that shows the turmoil in Washington is dragging his approval rating to its lowest level in more than a year. Overall, 34 per cent of Americans approve of Trump’s job performance in a survey conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. That’s down from 42 percent a month earlier and nears the lowest mark of his two-year presidency. The president’s approval among Republicans remains close to 80 per cent.

Couture makes Celine weep

Ashburton Guardian

Baldwin makes deal Days after appearing as President Donald Trump in a Deal or No Deal parody on Saturday Night Live, Alec Baldwin took a deal of his own yesterday, agreeing to attend an anger management class to resolve a criminal case stemming from a skirmish over a parking spot. Baldwin, who was accused of striking another driver in the face during the dispute last fall outside his New York City home, pleaded guilty to harassment and will have his case record sealed once he completes the one-day class. The charge is a violation, the lowest level of offence.

Alda on the up

Valentino took drama to its height at its spring couture collection in Paris, where Celine Dion wept theatrically as a solemn Naomi Campbell swept past to close the house’s show in a see-through black organza gown. The VIP crowd that was surrounded by multicoloured perfumed flowers whooped during a standing ovation as snow fell outside. On couturier Pierpaolo Piccioli’s request, Valentino’s seamstresses named each and every couture dress after a flower or emotion. This detail reveals the preciousness that the designer and his atelier bestowed on the 65 carefully constructed looks, in which each model was transformed into a silken bloom. A smiling Rami Malek cut a dapper figure decked out in Valentino, inside the Hotel Salomon de Rothschild, with his girl-

friend Lucy Boynton. Malek says he’s still riding a high following his Oscar best actor nomination for portraying Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody and enjoying the fashion scene. “I see this very much as high art. It’s a really special occasion to see some couture — the cream of the crop,” he said. It was a typically tongue-in-cheek affair for Gaultier. This season, a particularly theatrical vision of Asia was served up in combination with a water theme. Gaultier’s signature maritime stripe opened the show on an Asian model with a cinched oriental waist. The Asian theme became more obvious as the collection progressed beginning with a look from Gaultier muse, model Anna Cleveland. She rocked a diaphanous pleated organza gown with voluminous sleeves and a black crisscross “martial arts” lapel. It

was topped with a huge, piled-up Oriental wig, an accessory featured throughout the show. Sports Illustrated cover model Irina Shayk heaped praise on Gaultier for championing diversity and creating collections that could speak to all kinds of men and women of different ages and style. Since an early age, Gaultier, 66, has been inspired by models from different backgrounds. In 1979, he launched the career of one of his earliest muses, supermodel Farida Khelfa, who is of Algerian descent. After arriving in the city earlier in the week in a low-key hoodie, the 50-year-old Canadian singer Celine Dion garnered attention for a host of reasons. She skipped many bigger collections on Tuesday and was instead photographed laughing, joking and even whooping in the front row of lesser-known designer Alexandre Vauthier. - AP

When Alan Alda receives his life achievement award from the Screen Actors Guild on Sunday, it will celebrate a career that includes multiple Emmy awards, an Oscar nomination and social activism over nearly seven decades. And one that continues to thrive, despite a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. At 82, Alda is still practising his craft, describing the idea of retirement as “a living hell”. “Thank goodness I’m still working and having fun. I’m doing Ray Donovan and The Good Fight, and anything else that comes up that looks like fun to do,” the actor said.

Adelaide records hottest day Adelaide sweltered through its hottest day in 130 years of records yesterday, with the mercury reaching 46.2°C in the city. The temperature beats the city’s 80-yearold previous record of 46.1°C set on January 12, 1939. The West Terrace weather station recorded the historic reading at 1.42pm. More than 15 heat records have been broken across the state, as temperatures reach the high 40s in many regional areas. The Bureau of Meteorology said the first record to fall was at Minlaton, on the Yorke

Peninsula, where the mercury reached 45.7°C just after 11am yesterday. The regional centre of Port Lincoln beat its previous record when it reached 47°C, while Snowtown made history at 47.3°C and Parafield at 46.6°C. Records were also broken when temperatures rose to 45.6°C at Stenhouse Bay and 46.9°C at Roseworthy. Minnipa recorded 47.3°C and Hindmarsh Island 45.2°C. Closer to the city, Adelaide Airport beat its 2013 record of 44.1°C with a high of 44.3°C, while Noarlunga hit a historic

44.9°C. CFS state duty commander Yvette Dowling warned the soaring temperatures will lead to unmanageable bushfire conditions. “If a fire does start with these forecast weather conditions, we’re not going to be able to control that fire,” she said. She urged the public to avoid risky behaviour in order to minimise the bushfire threat. “The communities are at risk, our firefighters are at risk, all emergency services are at risk.” - AAP

Underwood full of love Carrie Underwood says her heart is full after the arrival of her second son. The country superstar posted photos of herself, her husband Mike Fisher and her son Isaiah with the newborn, who she said was born early Monday. Her post states “his mom, dad and big brother couldn’t be happier for God to trust them with taking care of this little miracle.” The seven-time Grammy winner Underwood and Fisher, a former NHL player, named him Jacob Bryan Fisher. The former American Idol winner revealed last year that she had three miscarriages in about two years.

WHAT CAN I DO IF THERE’S

a problem? Kevin Lampen-Smith

REA

Buyer’s remorse is a common affliction in January, but for most people it relates to spending too much on Christmas festivities and presents. Regretting buying something as big as a house is a much bigger deal that can have a serious impact on your family and financial wellbeing. Real Estate Authority (REA) chief executive Kevin Lampen-Smith says this is why it’s important for buyers to do as much homework as they can before buying a property. “We believe it’s much better to spend a few hundred dollars on an independent report by an accredited building inspector than face having to spend thousands of dollars on fixing any issues after the fact,” LampenSmith says. “It can be tempting to settle for the easy option of using a pre-prepared report, but if you haven’t paid for it yourself you have no way of ensuring that it’s legitimate or being able to take action against the inspector for an inadequate assessment.” If you’re looking to buy, LampenSmith says it’s smart to find out as much as you can about the property, including getting someone to help you understand the outcome of any report on the building or land. “In some cases, issues are noted on property reports but buyers are in such a hurry that they miss them,” LampenSmith says. If a report uncovers an issue, he suggests getting legal advice first if you want to negotiate with the seller on price. If you end up buying a property and discover a serious issue that you think the seller or the real estate agent failed to tell you about, Lampen-Smith says the first step is to write down what happened when you bought the property. “Gather all the relevant documentation, such as the building report, the LIM and the sale and purchase agreement,” Lampen-Smith says. “If the property was sold by a licensed real estate agent, make notes of any conversations you had with them. If the property was sold privately, make notes of any dealings with the seller. Add any new information you have about the property, such as a building report or assessment that notes the problems you’ve found.” Think too about what your best-case scenario outcome is: do you want an apology, compensation, or remediation

(or all three)? Lampen-Smith says it’s important to get legal advice to fully understand your options. “A lawyer will advise you on whether you have a case against the seller and what your next move should be, based on the information you’ve gathered,” he says. “If appropriate, they can help you

negotiate with the seller or act against them. Be aware that you may not be in a very strong position unless you can prove that the seller or the real estate agent knowingly covered up the issue.” If it appears that the real estate agent is responsible in some way, LampenSmith says it’s best that you deal with them directly. “If you can’t resolve things this way, the REA handles complaints against

licensed real estate agents and we can also help you understand expectations on real estate agents regarding disclosure of property defects. Check out rea.govt.nz for more information on making complaints.” For independent guidance and information on buying or selling, check out settled.govt.nz.

AWAPUNI NURSERIES

If you want a lively injection of colour into your garden this summer, look no further than celosia. Celosia has bright flowers that make attractive garden borders, and also lovely cut arrangements. With its flame-like heads, celosia looks like little balls of fire in the garden. It’s a small annual, that grows to around 30cm tall. Large waxy green leaves frame celosia’s spectacular flowers, which bloom in vibrant yellow, orange and reds. What I like about celosia is that it looks amazing (like a field of fire) when planted en masse. Also, it’s a really easy flower to plant and requires minimal care. If your garden is already short of garden space, celosia also looks very pretty in pots. Technically celosia is an annual (meaning they’ll only last one season), but it can survive more than one season if grown in a warmer climate. Bring your pots inside when it starts to cool off, and you may be rewarded again next spring. At Awapuni Nurseries we have two types of celosia seedlings to choose from. The cockscomb variety gets its name because its flowers look like the head of a rooster. Its blooms are rather stiff and waxy and they last longer than most flowers – both on the plant and in a vase. Their firmness also makes them great candidates for dried flowers or for a bouquet. And the stems on a celosia are the same colour as the bloom, which makes for a visual treat. Kimono mix is the second variety of celosia available – and brand-new to

the nursery this season. Its flowers are bright and truly do look like little balls of fire in your garden, with feathershaped petals. To plant them, first find a sunny well-

drained spot in the garden. Dig in some good general fertiliser to give your plants the best possible start. Plant the seedlings in holes 3cm deep, about 20cm apart. Give them a good initial

watering, and then afterwards water every few days. I recommend planting them with other annuals such as marigolds, zinnias and asters, for some fun coloured variety in your flower garden. Celosia is fairly drought resistant, so if you head away over summer for a few days, your plants will still be okay as long as you give them a big morning water before you leave. Give them a monthly feed of general fertiliser to encourage longer flowering. Because the flowers are so hardy, your celosia will hold on to its blooms until they have dried on the plant. So, I recommend deadheading them to encourage new flowers to come through. And, if you look after your celosias, their flaming blooms will reward you for a good couple of months.

Giant leap forward There are advances. And then there are giant leaps forward. Camry – a Toyota nameplate versed in both dynamic driveability and proven practicality developed across seven generations – has risen to new levels of design and engineering prowess in this latest iteration. Toyota’s premier full-sized sedan is available in a number of powertrain and specification grade configurations. All variants boast comprehensive comfort and convenience features across the board, along with an array of stylish exterior enhancements and premium interior touches, updated multimedia infotainment systems and the latest in advanced safety technology. Whether yours is destined for business or pleasure – or a bit of both – the Camry remains a decision that appeals to both the head and the heart. Thanks to no less than three powertrain options, the reimagined eighth generation Camry incorporates plenty of on-road character, and is designed to appeal to the weekend explorer as much as the workday entrepreneur. For a start, the sure-footedness of Toyota’s 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent (VVT-i) remains the stalwart of the Camry line-up. The latest Camry sees the trusted efficiency of Toyota’s world-leading Hybrid Synergy Drive technology receive a signifi-

cant boost in the new model. The new Camry Hybrid variants are the first to adopt Toyota’s New Generation Architecture (TNGA) for the engine, which is responsible for up to a 19 per cent reduction in combined fuel consumption compared with the previous Camry Hybrid. Meanwhile, the sporty and powerful nature of the Camry V6 featuring an engine which receives both more power and torque for this iteration – is paired with a newly developed 8-speed direct shift automatic transmission, for the ultimate in

driver involvement. A completely redesigned cabin greets the driver and passengers, with a variety of trim and surface materials on show, including high-quality fabric and both red or black premium leather accented options. Tactile touchpoints are similarly dressed to impress, with Micro Square Metal, Textured Metal and Tiger Eye surfaces adding genuine modernity to the latest Camry’s spacious interior. Visual technology abounds in the Camry, with the latest in driver instrumenta-

tion and colour multi-information display screens on offer. The 8th generation Camry also debuts a brand-new multimedia system for Toyota, featuring an intuitively redesigned interface offering high resolution audio files and USB video file playback and mobile assistant integration. And because the Camry remains a byword for practical motoring, even hybrid models receive more luggage space – 103 litres more in fact – thanks to clever repositioning of the powerful hybrid battery from the boot to beneath the rear seat.

Power to surprise

ome school holidays and one certainly appreciated both the adaptability and benefits of the Kia Sorento’s seven easily accessed seats, its higher ground clearance and on demand all-wheel-drive. Both to entertain and do some exploring with the quickly growing up grand-kids. This EX, which is one of the four diesels in the Sorento range is currently priced at $48,990 plus ORCs ($1495 including 3000kms RUC). It also, until the end of this month comes with 5 years (up to 65,000km) free servicing. There’s smart-key access. Up front the cabin proved well laid out and easy to use with nice display graphics on the 7 inch, cente touch-screen. Speaking of use, your smart phone is necessary (there’s Apple/ Android integration) for sat-nav guidance. (standard in the Ltd and Premium models as are heated seats and more). The front seats are well shaped and supportive with lots of power adjustment available for the driver. There’s composite leather upholstery throughout and dual zone, climate air-con. The middle row of seats, both slides and reclines allowing easy access to the third row. While the latter is fine adult-wise for

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

shorter trips therein with good head space and sufficient leg space, it’s better for smaller people over longer distances. With this third row in use there’s space for 142 litres of luggage. With it folded neatly into the floor, and remember there’s a full size spare wheel underneath, and a very usable 605 litres available. Need more, then fold the middle row to get 1662litres. While it’s large, (4800mm long, 1890mm wide and 1690mm tall) around town, except for the necessity of choosing suitable parking spots, it doesn’t feel so. For parking, the combination of light low speed steering feel, good turning circle, the wide angle reversing camera, sensors and the very good view outside certainly help

out here. Power is courtesy of the well proven R-series 2.2 litre turbo diesel shared with the Santa Fe. With 147kW and 441Nm of torque, it provides strong and smooth performance. Even more so now that it is mated up to a smart, efficient eight-speed auto, whose very well chosen ratios make the best possible use of the full 441Nm of torque available from 1750 to 2750rpm. While there’s a manual function, this auto does its job so well I didn’t bother trying it! There’s four selectable driving modes Eco, Comfort, Sport and Smart. Except for a winding, hilly drive using Sport, which means the quickest responses from the steering, accelerator and the auto (0100kmh in just under 10 seconds), Smart was favoured. For it gauges the driver’s style and automatically changes between the other modes in keeping with this. It delivered the desired result, being as quick as needed, and also decent economy. The stop-start system also no doubt helping the latter, which is a claimed 6.5L/100km overall. Diesel sounds are well muted and particularly so at cruise, for 100km/h means just 1500rpm! Road and wind noise are

also nicely subdued while the suspension quietly and effectively dealt with the ever changing road surfaces and bumps encountered. Then, although weighing in at around 1900kg the Sorento not only steers and turns in predictably, but with the on-demand all-wheel-drive’s contribution, continues to feel nicely balanced. As well, still delivers a nice supple ride and doing this both both on rougher seal and shingle. Although there’s a comprehensive safety package aboard including LED headlights, blind spot/rear traffic warning, lane keep assist and more, adaptive cruise-control and autonomous emergency braking are however reserved for the most expensive Premium model.

FINALE Kia’s catch phrase is “The Power to Surprise”! Which is what both this currently very well priced, family friendly, all-wheel-drive SUV Sorento, and its (almost) Sorrento namesake and the Amalfi coast are likely to do!

Audi e-tron is electrifying The Audi e-tron, the first fully electrically powered series production model from Audi will be landing in New Zealand in mid2019 priced from $148,500. The sporty fullsize SUV – which is suitable for everyday use, first presented to the world in San Francisco in September 2018 is now open to pre-registered customers for pre-order. “We have received unprecedented interest of the Audi e-tron following the global launch. Following the reveal, we offered our customers the opportunity to reserve 1 of 100 vehicle build slots, with our production allocation selling out in just eight days,” Dean Sheed, general manager of Audi New Zealand, said. Standing still or on the move, the Audi e-tron is electrifying. The electric SUV is powered by two electric motors with peak electrical output with boost of 300 kW, sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds with boost. A new generation of the quattro drive, the electric all-wheel drive, ensures excellent traction and dynamics. It ensures the continuous and variable regulation of the ideal distribution of drive torques between the two axles – within a fraction of a second. A key factor for the sporty character and outstanding transverse dynamics is the low and central position at which the battery system is installed. It gives the vehicle a range of more than 400 kilometres on a single charge which is suitable for driving long distances. During far more than 90 per cent of all decelerations, the Audi

e-tron recovers energy solely via its electric motors. The electric SUV taps its maximum recuperation potential in combination with the integrated electrohydraulic

brake control system. Audi is the world’s first carmaker to use such a system in an electrically powered series production vehicle.

The cleverly designed aerodynamics also contribute significantly to its efficiency. One highlight of this concept are the optional virtual exterior mirrors – a worldwide first in a series production model. Not only do they reduce aerodynamic drag, they also take digitalization in the vehicle to a whole new level. These feed into 7-inch OLED displays which are equipped with proximity sensors for optimised comfort and safety. The Audi e-tron offers the spaciousness and comfort of one of the brand’s typical full-size models. Paired with high-quality materials and fine workmanship, it makes electric mobility a premium experience. This is also ensured by the comprehensive and reliable range of charging options with intelligent solutions for at home and on the go. Sheed said Audi had been working on the Audi e-tron project for some time now and it was fantastic for it now to be revealed and have such strong public interest and support of the vehicle ahead of its mid-2019 arrival. “Our first fully electric car being a SUV with off-road capability could not be more suited to the NZ environment, add to that a number of world-class features, the car will be highly sought after in the Kiwi market.” The Audi e-tron is being built in the CO2-neutral plant in Brussels and will be arriving in New Zealand Audi authorised dealerships mid-2019. The starting price of the electric SUV in New Zealand is $148,500.

Subaru NZ gifts WRX STI Subaru brand ambassador Ben Hunt is now the official owner of the purpose-built Subaru WRX STI rally car. Subaru of New Zealand gifted ownership to him after three years in this production-based model. Subaru have been sponsoring Hunt since the end of 2013. In recognition of his rallying talents, he was taken on as a brand ambassador in 2015. The company offered him the use of a brand-new production model Subaru WRX STI, which he had converted to a rally car. His Hunt Motorsports team, alongside Speedhub Motorsport, spent countless hours transforming the Subaru WRX STI into a rally-fit machine. Now, three years later as part of the agreement, Subaru is handing over its keys. Subaru of New Zealand managing director Wallis Dumper says it was a well-deserved transaction. “Ben has been a brilliant ambassador for Subaru throughout the past three seasons with us. It is not an easy task to transform a road-going car into a competitive, rally winner but Ben and his team have done just that - achieving some outstanding results in the Subaru WRX STI along the way.” “We were thrilled to see Ben finish second in the 2018 New Zealand Rally Championship (NZRC), behind WRC driver Hayden Paddon. “While in 2017, Ben and his long-term co-driver Tony Rawstorn helped Subaru win the NZRC’s Manufacturer’s Trophy, finishing as the third team overall in the process.

“Their continued success keeps Subaru’s rally heritage alive and we are happy to now be officially handing the keys over to Ben,” Mr Dumper says. Hunt was thrilled to formally take possession of his Subaru WRX STI. “It was great to head into the Subaru of New Zealand office and be presented with the keys to this awesome Subaru in front of the whole team. It was a proud moment, as it felt like a celebration of all the hard work, myself, Tony and our Hunt Motorsports team have put into running this double, national championship podium-achieving Subaru.” “Ever since I was a kid, my rallying heroes were Subaru drivers Colin McRae and Possum Bourne, and it is amazing to be now competing with the Subaru brand, which is truly where my heart is,” Hunt adds. He will continue as a Subaru brand ambassador this year and will campaign the Subaru WRX STI in this year’s six-round NZRC. Hunt will be looking to repeat his 2015 win, which he achieved in an older model Subaru WRX. Hunt has an impressive rally career history, which was jump-started in 2009, when he won the inaugural Rally New Zealand Rising Stars scholarship. He followed that achievement up with two national 2WD titles and a junior championship trophy in 2011 and 2012. Stepping up to an All-Wheel Drive vehicle in 2013, Hunt purchased the ex-Emma Gilmour Subaru WRX and finished fourth in the NZRC. The next year he moved up to second overall.

Celebrating biggest year since 1990 Hot on the heels of the unveiling of its toughest Triton yet, Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand (MMNZ) is celebrating its biggest year since 1990 – with 12,334 registrations and 8per cent market share, securing fourth place overall for 2018. The new model Triton is one of the most advanced utes in the market and is expected to strengthen sales of the brand’s best-seller into 2019. The popular ute finished third in its segment for the year, taking a 13.1 per cent share in December and pushing MMNZ into third place overall for the month, with 8.4 per cent of the market. “These impressive results reflect our ongoing momentum on the back of eight years of consecutive growth and an evolving range that reflects Kiwis’ diverse and changing lifestyles,” said head of marketing and corporate affairs Reece Congdon. “Our next significant goal is to secure third place in the market for the financial year and these interim results suggest we are heading in the right direction. No doubt the arrival of the new-look Triton, backed by our compelling full-range line-up, will propel us towards this goal.” Mitsubishi’s new breed Triton has arrived at dealerships around the country, setting the stage for the 25 per cent sales growth anticipated for its best-selling beast. “Performance and safety upgrades to the new Triton make it the most compelling package in the ute segment,” said Congdon. “Triton has long been a hit with Kiwis due to its great performance and value, backed by New Zealand’s leading new car warranty. We are confident that the improvements available at such a sharp price will push uptake to a whole new level.”

Isuzu trucks claim industry trifecta Isuzu is once again the undisputed King of the Truck world in New Zealand, claiming the light, medium and heavy commercial truck segment trifecta on their way to achieving phenomenal sales which helped cement their position as the country’s number one supplier of new trucks for a record-breaking 19th consecutive year. “We are undeniably proud to achieve this significant milestone for Isuzu, which is an unprecedented result as we believe New Zealand is the only market in the world which can lay claim to such an accomplishment,” said the general manager of Isuzu Trucks New Zealand, Colin Muir (right). “To be crowned number one is an achievement in itself, but to do it across all three segments is a remarkable feat.” Key to the success of the brand has been enhanced vehicle reliability, as well as a renewed focus on the end-user. “We have worked closely with Isuzu in Japan to ensure our product resonates with Kiwis, as we have a burning desire to be the go-to brand when someone has a need for a new truck,” Muir said. “An example of this was the extensive high-country testing of a 6x4 AMT Tipper, in a variety of challenging situations. It’s all very well explaining a particular condition on a conference call with executives in Japan, but nothing beats a team of Isuzu engineers as well as R&D staff coming to the top of the South Island to witness an Isuzu in action in such a unique environment.” Further to the success of Isuzu is a continuation in the growth of the service side of the business, as well as considerable investment into the brand by dealers around the country. “Every dollar our business partners invest is another vote of confidence in

the brand, which in turn flows through to consumer confidence and peace of mind in our product,” Muir said. Isuzu Japan has also played a leading role to help foster this confidence through the delivery of some exciting new technology, such as the addition of features which have previously been the domain of the passenger vehicle industry. “It’s no longer correct for people to perceive Isuzu trucks as lacking technology, they now offer options like Advanced Driver Assistance safety systems akin to what is available in a car or SUV such as Lane Departure Warning, Front Collision Alert and Pedestrian Alert,” Muir said. “Furthermore, Isuzu has also been busy on the product front with the launch of the new automatic-transmission version of the CYZ Heavy Duty Tipper and the extremely innovative VN97 N Series Light Duty Range has advanced emission controls without the need for a Particulate Filter or AdBlue – which will have particular appeal for rental and multioperator applications.” In addition to the investment by dealers around the country, Isuzu has also been committing resource to ensuring all technicians are trained to the Isuzu standard. “Our ultimate aim is to have a network which is never any more than one-hour drive away from any point around the country, which is a lofty ambition but one we’re dedicated to achieving,” Muir said. “This is a significant commitment on our part, but is one which will help maintain a point of difference over our competitors and become another key reason why people should always consider a new Isuzu more so than any other brand.”

OUR VIEW

Front page content well considered T

he decision on what we lead our newspaper with on the front page each and every day is one that isn’t made lightly. There are countless occasions throughout the day where discussions are held about what might be suitable and/or most worthy of holding the spot on the front page of the next day’s paper and these discussions are often held between multiple people as one opinion may completely disagree with another. But ultimately, what feeds the decision is what is of most worth to our readers. News, particularly of significant value, usually trumps everything else, especially

when it’s news of a national scale and interest. So, when news broke late on Wednesday afternoon of a date being set for the appeal of Russell John Tully, there were robust conversations around the room about the significance of putting both the news and an image of him on the front page of yester-

day’s newspaper. We have a role as the only daily newspaper in the district to report on the good, bad and the ugly when it comes to news – but never is it done without compassion or thought about what a story might provoke in others. Wednesday afternoon’s decision was one which wasn’t made lightly. But, no matter how you look at that situation, news involving one of the biggest and most tragic incidents to happen in our corner of the country for the past decade is always going to take precedence. In a perfect world, we’d only write and share stories of a posi-

tive nature – the fluffy feel-good stuff which makes everyone feel good inside, but the reality is that in order to retain our position of reporting without fear or favour, we must also detail news that is not quite so pleasant. One thing I do really want to make clear is that this editorial is not led as a complaint about you, our readers, sharing your objections to the story and the image of Tully that ran in Thursday’s paper, but more an explanation as to the process we go through to make such a decision in the first place. I’d also like to refute the few claims made yesterday that we are in support of Tully in his appeal;

we, as a newspaper, in no way believe him to be innocent. When the biggest news agencies in the country are leading their news with a story that is of significant value to our district, we are going to lead with it too. Our question to ourselves, is what is of value to our readers. Emotion isn’t the sole deciding factor in the decision we make here as a newspaper – but it is taken into account. And while fully understanding the raw emotion that comes with anything which involves Russell John Tully, we can’t ignore a news story of such importance to the people of this community.

Editor, PO Box 77

he father of a 13-yearold was tired of his son ignoring his texts. So, he did what any frustrated parent would do, if only they had thought of it and had a clue how to do it. He invented an app that locks a child’s phone until they write back. The app, called ReplyASAP, gives parents the power to freeze their kids’ phones when they don’t respond to text messages. What’s more, it also lets parents set off an alarm on the phone until they respond. And the alarm works even if the phone is on silent mode. That should embarrass any kid into answering. Especially if you can make a personalised message alarm along the lines of “Johnny darling please give your Daddy a call”. ReplyASAP has been downloaded 75,000 times since it was launched on the Google Play Store last year. It is currently only available for Android devices, but an iOS version will be available soon. Did he ever consider that maybe his kid would write back if he wasn’t always sending dad jokes? I think this is a great idea, but it lends itself to all kinds of misuse. Like when my wife tries to get it for me, for when I’m in the clubhouse after twilight golf.

Your favourite caffeine fix may be under threat.

Coffee drinkers, you might want to sit down and read this. Two studies released last week say that more than half of all coffee species are at risk of extinction. New research from Britain’s Kew Royal Botanical Gardens found that upwards of 60 per cent of the world’s wild coffee species are in danger of being eradicated due to deforesta-

tion, climate change and plant diseases. Climate change is also being blamed for making coffee taste worse. The most popular bean used for commercial coffee production, arabica, is already on the endangered species list and could be completely extinct within 60 years. In 60 years, coffee could be the only thing keeping me alive!

Calls for changes to CGT draft Accounting industry body CPA Australia is calling for changes to the capital gains tax (CGT) as proposed by the Tax Working Group. It says the system in the draft report could “stymie investment, business and jobs growth”. CPA Australia executive general manager Craig Laughton says members – including approximately 2000 accountants in New Zealand – have several concerns about the Tax Working Group’s initial report. These include: ■ The fact it does not include “grandfathering”, meaning the new regime would also apply to capital assets acquired before the date it comes into effect; ■ Lack of clarity in terms of valuation of pre-CGT assets; ■ No CGT discounts. Australia, for example gives a 50 per cent discount for individual taxpayers who hold a taxable asset for at least a year; ■ The apparent exclusion of Portfolio Investment Entities (PIEs); ■ The way the report appears to favour KiwiSaver over other ways of saving for retirement. CPA Australia sent a supplementary submission to the TWG last month, with a number of

proposals and recommendations. The organisation hopes these will have some input into the final recommendations, due for release in February. Laughton says of the two capital gains tax methods discussed in the interim report, CPA members prefer a regime based on actual realisation of assets. “The RFRM [risk-free rate of return] model, while simple in many respects, has the fatal flaw of assuming all assets always increase in value, which is obviously not

“It is also worth noting that the PIE regime was explicitly designed because New Zealand does not have a CGT.” Coincidentally, the NZX and the Financial Markets Authority esterday announced a formal review – Capital Markets 2029 – to investigate the woeful slump in equity listing numbers on the NZX. The number of equities securities on the exchange have fallen from 173 at the end of 2015 to 138 now. Laughton says any capital gains tax needs to be wary not to make the situation worse. He says the Tax Working Group should make changes to the Fair Dividend Rate (FDR) regime. “If not, the playing field would be tipped in favour of foreign stocks to the detriment of New Zealand companies.” Finally, CPA Australia weighs into the retirement savings debate, saying the interim CGT report appears to favour KiwiSaver over other ways of saving for retirement, and also that the proposed regime seems to have “given little thought around incentives to encourage retirement savings”. - BusinessDesk

the case. Consider for example the recent economic losses incurred by the taxi industry caused by the introduction of ride-sharing services,” Laughton says in his submission. “CPA Australia is not aware of any other OECD country that applies CGT in this manner, and members remain opposed to taking unrealised gains.” Laughton says valuation of assets is critical, with several issues needing clarification. For example, CPA says the government

needs to develop “a robust valuation methodology” to deal with problematic areas like how to value goodwill in services businesses. It’s also not clear whether legal rights and options are to be counted as CGT assets. Meanwhile, Laughton says there are considerable risks if the Tax Working Group decides to exclude Portfolio Investment Entities like managed funds and retirement schemes. “This necessarily would introduce a two-tier investment community, one that invests in PIEs and one that invests directly in shares on the NZX. The latter would be disadvantaged. They would not only be caught by CGT but would potentially have to file annual tax returns, which is a considerable administrative burden.” He says it’s hard to quantify what the damage to the capital markets might be, but “the risk is severe”. “New Zealand is a net importer of capital and the proposed distortion would almost certainly impact inflows. It could also encourage businesses to avoid listing on the NZX and seek a foreign listing instead.

t was a mixed week for global markets as investors debate the outlook for global growth. Doubt over foreign trade and politics also continued to dominate. Volumes were lighter than usual with much of the country on holiday for Wellington Anniversary Day on Monday, while markets in America were closed in celebration of Martin Luther King day. Within the local NZX 50 gentailers (Meridian, Contact and Trustpower) and listed property names (Goodman Property, Precinct Property, Property for Industry) traded within 1per cent of their 52-week highs. While Mainfreight and Infratil both reached records. The NZX 50 is up 3.3 per cent this year and 2.9 per cent below its record reached in September. In corporate news, Z Energy shares rose after upgrading its 2019 earnings guidance by $15m. The country’s biggest fuel retailer said a sharp drop in oil prices has allowed the company to improve its position with less pressure on both retail and commercial margins. The company also lifted its dividend range from 32-41 to 38-47 cents per share. Mercury reaffirmed expectations for FY19 earnings of $515m, ahead of its half-year result next month. The company said it expects to meet full-year guidance despite lower hydro production and the sale of its Metrix business. The main event on the local economic calendar was the December inflation report.

ON THE MARKETS

The consumer price index (CPI) consumer prices rose 1.9 per cent compared to the year prior unchanged from the third quarter and exceeding expectations for an increase of 1.8 per cent. China reported that its economy grew at the lowest official pace in 28 years. China’s gross domestic product slowed to 6.6 per cent in 2018, the slowest pace since 1990 and in line with market expectations. Chinese statistics bureau Chief Ning Jizhe told reporters that the country’s trade dispute with the US has affected the world’s second largest economy, but the impact was manageable. He said China’s economy has shown signs of slowing but was still being driven by domestic demand. However, economic data from China is being closely watched for signs of damage inflicted by the trade war with America. Staying in Asia, the Bank of Japan left interest rates unchanged and lowered inflation forecasts for the next two years. The BoJ kept its short-term interest rate target at -0.1 per cent and reaffirmed its plans of buying Japanese bonds to maintain a yield on the 10-year

note at around 0 per cent. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) cut its global economic growth forecasts. Global equities took a hit this week after the IMF lowered its forecasts for global economic growth to 3.5 per cent in 2019 and 3.6 per cent in 2020, 0.2 per cent and 0.1 per cent below October’s projections. An escalation of trade tensions and a worsening of financial conditions are key sources of risk to the outlook. The IMF also expressed concerns about a bigger than expected slowdown in Chinese growth, Brexit and the ongoing US government shutdown. Global reporting season has been largely well received thus far. Investors are focusing their attention on the outlook for profits and revenue in 2019. At the time of writing, more than 14 per cent of S&P 500 companies have released their fourth quarter results. Of those companies, 73 per cent have beat earnings estimates, but only 59 per cent of those companies have beaten sales forecasts. IBM, Procter & Gamble and United Technologies lifted the Dow Jones Wednesday on the back of strong results. Shares of Johnson & Johnson however, fell 2.4 per cent after its 2019 sales guidance came in below market expectations. Jeremy Flood works for Craigs Investment Partners.

■ MAGIC MILLIONS

In brief

Te Akau set to dominate Can Te Akau Racing make it a hattrick of Karaka Millions? Probabeely. Te Akau will have a five-strong hand in the $1 million two-yearold race for New Zealand Bloodstock Yearling Sales graduates, which the stable has won the past two years through Melody Belle and Avantage. “We’ve got some pretty exciting horses but we’ve drawn barriers 12, 13 and 14, so the three outside barriers which won’t help, that’s for sure,” Te Akau Principal David Ellis said. “But we’re in it to win. It’s a race that looks to have a lot of speed so getting back might not be such a bad thing. It’s a race where I’ve seen so many unlucky horses over the years and I don’t think the barrier draw matters as much in this race as it sometimes does. “We’ve drawn one and two before and been stuck on the fence and had no luck. Opie went down and galloped all our runners last Saturday and he was really happy with them, so we’ve got our fingers crossed. It’s a race you need a lot of luck in.” Savabeel filly Probabeel was the TAB’s closing futures market favourite at $2.60 but drifted significantly to $3.70 after she drew the outside barrier and arch-rival Whiskey Neat came up with barrier two to take over as a $2.70 favourite for Cambridge trainer Tony Pike. “I still think Probabeel is going to go a huge race, even with the wide gate, and Yourdeel has to be

Probabeel is a market favourite. some chance. He’s been working enormous, all our horses have been.” Aotea Lad, second to Whiskey Neat in the Gr.3 Eclipse Stakes (1200m) at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day, is the TAB’s $7 third favourite, while Te Akau runners Louis Luck and Yourdeel share $12 fourth favouritism, with Te Akau’s final runner Challa a $91 outsider. This is the second straight Karaka Million in which Te Akau will have five runners, with Avantage and Al Hasa filling the quinella positions last year. Melody Belle

was the stable’s sole representative in 2017. “[Karaka Million success] is a huge help in getting people interested in being involved in the horses we buy at the sales,” Ellis said. “We’re pretty particular about what we buy. We don’t buy horses that are only going to make twoyear-olds. All our two-year-olds train on. We’ve had six champion two-year-olds and they’ve all gone on to be good three and four-year-olds. “Melody Belle is a classic example. She’ll probably have her

Madison County in winning action recently. pretty swiftly and he’s not a 1200m horse. He’s got a Derby nomination but we’ll play it by ear after Pukekohe. He should run well. I don’t think he’ll be far away.” Baker said The Chosen One could then step up to a middle distance of either the Gr.2 Waikato Guineas (2000m) on February 9 or wait a week later for the Gr.2 Avondale Guineas (2100m) at Ellerslie. Dundeel gelding Cutadeel will

Sydney double Waikato Stud stallion Ocean Park received a timely boost ahead of next week’s New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale. The Gr.1 Cox Plate (2040m) hero’s progeny recorded a winning double at Canterbury on Wednesday, adding to his nine winners in the past seven days and 21 in the past 30. Sydney champion trainer Chris Waller combined with champion jockey Hugh Bowman to win with three-year-olds Kolding and Matowi, who were purchased out of the 2017 New Zealand Bloodstock Premier Yearling Sale for $170,000 and $200,000 respectively. Kolding broke his maiden with a short-neck win over 1200m as favourite, while Matowi posted his second win from seven starts when scoring by half a length over 1550 metres. “They’re quite similar horses actually,” stable foreman Charlie Duckworth said. “Both are still learning how to switch off and relax but are showing plenty of promise.”

Bholah on mend best year as a five-year-old next season. Avantage is the current champion two-year-old and she’s won her only start at three and is coming up really well. We’re looking to take her to Australia. “It’s a good incentive now with these races though. A two-yearold can race for $1 million in the Karaka Million and a three-yearold can race for $1 million in the Karaka Million 3YO Classic.” Ellis was upbeat about the upcoming yearling sales which begin at 3pm on Sunday. “The quality is as good as I’ve seen in 20 years.” - NZ Racing Desk

Hopes for Baker-Forsman derby Cambridge trainers Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman will get a better idea of the strength of their Gr.1 Vodafone New Zealand Derby (2400m) hand after racing in the coming days. The champion training duo still have seven three-year-olds in reckoning for the Derby at Ellerslie on March 2, with five of that contingent racing between today and Monday. Dual Group One winner Madison County will look to add to his winning sequence when he tackles tomorrow’s $1 million Karaka Million 3YO Classic (1600m) at Ellerslie, while Cutadeeel and The Chosen One are slated to race at Pukekohe on today and Bobby Dee and Fiery Dragon entered for Te Teko on Monday. Savabeel colt The Chosen One resumed with an encouraging second to Group One winner Sword Of Osman at Ellerslie earlier this month and he should relish the step up in distance of the Splice Construction 1400 at Pukekohe. “He’s just getting going again after a break. He was only out for three weeks so didn’t lose much fitness and we were very happy with his run at Ellerslie,” Baker said. “He ran home the last 600m

also contest either of those races should he run as well as expected in the Rogers Racing Stables 1600 at Pukekohe. “We’re very happy with Cutadeel. He’s going well,” Baker said. “Because of the handicapping system, he’s got to carry weight against the older horses but he should run. They’ve changed the programme this year and there’s only one week between the Waikato Guineas and Avondale Guineas instead of two, so we’ll make a

decision where they go after this one.” Baker remains unconvinced Madison County is a Derby horse but he’s happy for the Pins gelding to guide him with his performance in the Karaka Million 3YO Classic. Shooting for a third straight big-race win after success in the Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton and this month’s Gr.1 Levin Classic (1600m) at Trentham, Madison County opened a $2.70 favourite for his weekend assignment. “He’ll run another honest race. He’s done a bit of travelling and this is a strong field, but there’s no reason why he shouldn’t run well again,” Baker said, before adding: “The filly is absolutely flying.” Baker and Forsman’s filly is Queen Of Diamonds, an easy Gr.3 Eulogy Stakes (1550m) winner at Awapuni before finishing third in last month’s Gr.2 Eight Carat Classic (1600m) on a rain-affected Ellerslie track. “She’s a good filly. She’ll revert back to the fillies races after this and hopefully she can run well in the Oaks.” At Te Teko on Monday, Bobby Dee and Fiery Dragon need to perform boldly to remain in Derby contention. - NZ Racing Desk

Apprentice jockey Zubair Bholah is on the mend and recuperating well after his fall at Kumara earlier this month according to his employer, Wingatui trainer Steve Tyler. The Mauritius-born rider suffered serious injuries after his mount, Morena Roc, clipped heels and fell at the South Island track. He was disgnosed with three fractures in his neck, a broken collarbone and shoulder along with suffering a severe laceration around his jaw and chin. He was airlifted to Christchurch and has since been transferred to Dunedin hospital. “He’s doing really well, I am really proud of him. He’s got all of his memory back and he’s walking himself to the toilet and shower,” Tyler said. “He is still obviously very sore, with all the breaks and injuries he has got, but I’m so proud of him, he is doing so well and will make a full recovery. “It might be a little bit of time yet, but talking with him yesterday, all he can talk about is getting back on the horses.

Volpe Veloce returns Group One winner Volpe Veloce returns to the scene of her biggest victory when she contests the Gr.2 Westbury Classic (1200m) at Ellerslie on Saturday night. The five-year-old mare has won 10 races from 20 starts, including four at the Auckland track and most significantly the 2018 Gr.1 Railway (1200m). The Graham Richardson and Gavin Parker-trained mare has pleased her connections since her fourth-placing behind Santa Monica when defending her Railway title at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day and confidence in the camp is high heading into the Group Two assignment. “I think she is well placed, 1400m especially with 58kgs on her back at set weights and penalties. She is only 3kgs above the minimum,” Richardson said. “Her work has been good and she has a good alley (barrier two) too so we are very happy with her. Michael Coleman galloped her on Tuesday and said she is pretty fit. “We just want to make sure she gets out of those gates as she can be a bit tardy and you want to use that draw. If we are thereabouts I would be very happy.”

Paddy picks shootout’s The hugely popular Property Brokers Shootout is on this weekend at the Ashburton Golf Club. In preparation for the annual event, Paddy Bradford (right) runs his eye over the field in search of this year’s winner. The event gets under way at 10am on Sunday.

19th: Bev Chinn An almost ever-present in the big race, this feisty filly has made the last two a couple of years back, and the final four on numerous occasions. The handicapper is always good to her. She definitely knows how to plot the race and doesn’t know the meaning of the word defeat. Can this bridesmaid become the bride? Think she needs to buy a dictionary to learn the meaning, out at the turn.

18th: Brendon Davidson This old, wonky donkey’s form guide is a bit of a roller coaster. He has more ups and downs than Madonna’s knickers. He could

well win the race at a canter leaving the field in his dust, or he could fall at the 1st. Thoughts? I wouldn’t back him with your money. Out before the turn.

bronco. Knows every blade of grass around the course, spends so much time out there he has even named them all. Early exit and back on the mower.

17th: Wendy Parr

15th: Eric Parr

Lovely little Shetland pony has challenged in the big race a few times before but struggled on some of the higher fences. Her ever-caring owner has purchased a portable step ladder for her and rumour has it that she may run in heels, out at the 5th again.

Turns out that the stable owner wasn’t happy with the form of the filly entered. So this big strapping thoroughbred has been sent in to show her the way. Could be a side bet going on with the stable honours at stake. Think the filly will pip it as she will make it past the 3rd.

16th: Dave Hewitt A fine sire of great gallopers, loves to prove that there is still a lot of kick in the old

14th: Tom Blacklow A frisky young gelding with a wonderful

well-proven pedigree. Will want to perform well in the great race. The sedate pace of the big day might be a bit slow for him, he’s known as more of a sprinter. The local lady jockeys say that he has normally finished the race before they have even started. Out early.

13th: Sean Strange Another excitable young stallion, he will bounce around the parade ring flicking his wonderful mane. Again, great Brandon pedigree, sired by kings, and Auntie Janet gave wonderful performances in the first two big races. What a let-down for the family. One of the first to fall.

form runners 12th: Bill Hetrick

4th: Richard McKernan

2nd: Bruce Day

The word legend is bandied about willy-nilly these days, but this old stayer is up there with Phar Lap, Red Rum and Mr Ed. Always manages to qualify for the race and always goes deep. The handicapper has been kind, so could this be his year? Well into the back 9.

This gelding’s last race was a very memorable one. He was galloping nicely following a zebra, he looked left and right to see a giraffe and a fire truck. Panic set in when he looked behind to see a dragon chasing him, he was screaming for help until the carny jumped on and told him to get his drunken bod off the carousel. May run in blinkers this time and the rest of the field in earmuffs. Should go well, final 5.

Ex-champion stayer, knows what it takes to get around the course in the big race, fleet of hoof, powerful fetlocks and strong heart are all things he describes himself as having. Has enjoyed the spring, galloping around different courses across the globe. Lady owner is threatening a one-way trip to the glue factory if there is no payback for all the gallivanting, but with 40 minutes for the first fence, he may find the early pace too brisk. Final 3.

11th: Hamish Niles This well-presented show pony is more used to the promotional side of racing, than actually getting his hooves dirty. On his day he can beat allcomers, not sure if race day will be his day, or today will be tomorrow, but I’m sure that yesterday isn’t next week! I seemed to have lost my train of thought. Oh yeah, out in 5.

10th: Terry Molloy This big clydesdale is new to the big race, but has good history in other races. I don’t think the occasion will worry him too much. From what this writer has seen, a strong temperament, good confidence, backed up by great skills. Shame, out in 2.

3rd: Ray Lambert Old leaky finds himself back in the big race again. He loves the big occasions and thrives on atmosphere. Being one of the top qualifiers will bring added pressure. This stallion just thumbs his nose at adversity and absorbs pressure like a steam cooker. Just don’t stand too close if his valve starts leaking. Should make the turn.

1st: Gaby Jansen Top qualifier, only attempted to run in the big race once before, and he promptly won it at a canter. He will certainly be the horse to beat again. Graceful, calm, confident and handsome are all traits he wished he had. Spoke with owner recently and she let slip that another win this year might earn him a trip to the stud farm. I don’t think she should have told him, because now instead of hurdling he will be polevaulting.

9th: Lucas McGee Another young gelding who has galloped over the bridge to run on a proper course. Will trot around the track in awe of the Brandon legends around him. Hopefully he can keep his hooves on the ground and not start asking for autographs. Out in 5.

In brief Kuridrani back Tevita Kuridrani makes a long-awaited return from injury but the Brumbies have rested fellow Wallabies star David Pocock from their season-opening trial match against the Melbourne Rebels. Centre Kuridrani hasn’t played since surgery after tearing a pectoral muscle during a Super Rugby match against the NSW Waratahs six months ago, his presence and 58 Tests of experience sorely missed at international level. A host of 2018 Wallabies will skip the trial at Viking Park in Canberra on Saturday, including Pocock. The worldclass openside flanker was dogged by neck problems last year and was forced to miss the season-ending Test against England at Twickenham. - AAP

Evans’ baby rush Cadel Evans’ newborn son Aidan timed his arrival perfectly, meaning the Tour de France champion had plenty of time to attend the race that bears his name. But it will still be a rush trip for the Australian cycling legend, who says his head is spinning after Aidan’s birth. Evans’ Italian partner Stefania Zandonella gave birth to Aidan late last week in Switzerland. Aidan is Evans’ first biological child and his adopted son Robel is eight. “He (Aidan) was home on Friday and I was out on Monday,” Evans said ahead of the weekend’s Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road races. “He wasn’t late - he was like his Dad, last-minute. I’m still coming to terms with it all - so far, a fantastic experience.” Zandonella is a former professional skier. The poor little guy is going to be a skier or bike rider. Or both,” Evans said. - AAP

Dane Coles commits Spending nearly a year on the sideline has convinced world class hooker Dane Coles to extend his contract with New Zealand rugby. Hurricanes captain Coles has signed a deal through to 2021, hoping he’ll get more game time than last year, which he spent mostly recovering from a serious knee injury before playing in four season-ending Tests. At his best, the 32-year-old has been among the world’s premier hookers, with his dynamic play in open field a feature of his 60 Tests. “I still feel like there are things that I want to achieve in New Zealand with teams that mean a lot to me,” Coles said. “Missing all of last year’s Super Rugby season with injury made me realise just how much I missed being out there for the Hurricanes and I want more time in the jersey.” Coles was the starting hooker in the 2015 World Cup final win over the Wallabies and led the Hurricanes to their maiden Super Rugby crown a year later.

8th: Tufuga Sa If this old stud horse was anymore laidback he would be asleep. Has been the form horse of the past season, causing big waves in last year’s championship races. This is a different scenario now and the gentle pace of the race will suit him early, but I don’t think there is much chance of a sprint finish. Should make the back 9.

7th: Gordon Crawford An unorthodox galloper, but always seems to get around the course. Many trainers have attempted to change his style to a more contemporary one, but old GC just laughs them off and continues on his merry way into mediocrity. Has got all the tools for the job, could go deep.

6th: Paddy Bradford

ICC to investigate

What can we say about this magnificent beast that he has not already said about himself. Shy, retiring and a total lack of confidence. If he could just sort out these minor faults he may well find himself amongst the Brandon legends. Oh yeah and he is very modest as well! Back 9, just.

5th: Greig Sparrow Some horses are built to be sprinters and some are meant to be stayers, this one doesn’t quite fit into any of these normal groupings and continues to search for his own niche. A bit of an enigma, roots firmly based in traditional values and rules, but can still swing it with the hip, young stallions. Has dipped his toe in the big race before, may have to take his socks off this time. Could be his year. Final 3. Bruce Day is amongst the favourites to take out the 2019 shootout.

The International Cricket Council have opened an investigation after an alleged racist remark was made by Sarfraz Ahmed towards South Africa’s Andile Phehlukwayo during Tuesday’s second one-day international in Durban. The Pakistan captain was caught on the stump microphone using the Urdu word “kaale”, meaning “black”. “The PCB expresses regret over the remark made by their captain Sarfraz Ahmed and picked up by the stump mic during the second ODI against South Africa in Durban,” read a PCB statement. “The PCB neither endorses nor supports any comments that have the potential to cause offence, and firmly reiterates their zero-tolerance approach towards racist comments made; in whatever context. The PCB endeavours to improve their player education programmes.”

■ TENNIS

Osaka, Kvitova into final US Open champion Naomi Osaka has reached back-to-back major finals with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 victory over Karolina Pliskova in the Australian Open semifinals. The 21-year-old Osaka will play another Czech, two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, for the Australian title on Saturday. The champion in Australia will also assume the No. 1 ranking. For both Kvitova, who reached a career-high No. 2 ranking in October 2011, and Osaka, it would be a first time in top spot. The fourth-seeded Osaka is aiming to be the first woman since Serena Williams to win consecutive major titles. Williams won four straight from the 2014 US Open to Wimbledon in 2015. Kvitova beat Danielle Collins 7-6 (2), 6-0 to return to a Grand Slam final for the first time since winning the Wimbledon title in 2014, and her first since sustaining injuries to her left hand in a home invasion in the Czech Republic in December 2016. Seventh-seeded Pliskova, a US Open finalist in 2016, had a stunning quarterfinal win over Serena Williams, coming back from 5-1 down in the third set and saving four match points to reach the last four. Osaka closed with an ace on match point. Osaka and Pliskova started their semifinal under a closed roof on Rod Laver Arena after the temperature topped 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 Celsius). Play on all outside courts was suspended under the tournament’s extreme heat policy. The earlier semifinal between two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova and Danielle Collins started with the roof open on Rod Laver but the match was delayed at 4-4 in the first set so the roof could be closed. After a tight tussle in the first, Kvitova dominated the second set in the indoor conditions and won 7-6 (2), 6-0. Kvitova, 28, is bidding to complete one of sport’s most extraordinary comebacks after advancing to her first major final since

Botha retires Hobart Hurricanes allrounder Johan Botha has made a shock late-season departure with his side on the brink of another BBL finals appearance. The veteran South African has retired from all forms of cricket, effective immediately. The announcement came after the 36-year-old went wicketless during Wednesday night’s nine-wicket loss to the Sydney Sixers, one of his former teams, at the SCG. Botha, who appeared in all 10 matches for the ladder leaders this season, is said to have cited physical fatigue and wear and tear on his ageing body as the reason behind his sudden decision. Botha only batted twice and finished not out (1 and 4) in both innings. But the white-ball specialist’s right-arm tweakers have proved valuable, taking eight wickets at an economy rate of 7.45.

Japan’s Naomi Osaka reacts after losing a point to Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic during their semifinal at the Australian Open. Osaka went on to win the match. AP PHOTO being savagely stabbed in a career-threatening home invasion in December, 2016. The two-times Wimbledon champion was told by doctors she’d likely never be able to grip a racquet again, let alone play professional tennis, after having several tendons shredded in her playing hand during the vicious attack. “It means everything,” Kvitova said after denying unseeded Collins in a somewhat controversial semi-final that started in blazing sunshine but finished under a closed roof after the Open’s heat rule was applied. “That’s why I worked very hard to be in the finals of the tournament, the final of the major. “Finally, I could make it deep into a major and I really enjoy a final and, whatever happens, I’m

really very, very happy.” Collins was less than happy, though. Accustomed to training in steamy Florida, the 25-year-old complained to tournament referee Wayne McEwen - to no avail - after officials ordered the roof closure at 4-4 in the opening set. But with the temperature in Melbourne soaring to 38 degrees - and much more on court - McEwen had no option but to enforce the safety rules. Collins won only two more games playing indoors as Kvitova swept past the American underdog in one hour and 34 minutes. “I think I was happier than the fans that the roof closed,” the Czech said. “I like to play indoors, so it really helped me a little bit. “It doesn’t matter. It was kind

of warm, but if it is open, I am still going to fight.” Already Japan’s only grand slam singles winner after downing Williams in last year’s explosive final at Flushing Meadows, fourth-seeded Osaka extended her streak at the majors to 13 victories by ending Pliskova’s unbeaten start to 2019. John Peers and Henri Kontinen have combined to become the first pair through to the men’s doubles final after beating Leonardo Mayer and Joao Sousa 6-1, 7-6 (6) at the Australian Open. Peers and Kontinen, who combined to win the 2017 Australian Open doubles title, will play either the American team of Ryan Harrison and Sam Querrey or the French combination of Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut.

Jones predicts brutal Six Nations Eddie Jones has warned though England may be broke off the field they will be brutal on it in their pursuit of Ireland’s Six Nations rugby crown. Jones and Warren Gatland met for a curry in London on the eve of the tournament’s launch in south west London, with England’s head coach revealing the Wales boss picked up the bill. “We chatted about rugby, the state of New Zealand rugby, the state of Welsh rugby, the state of English rugby,” Jones said. “He (Gatland) was paying the

In brief

bill because we’ve got no money.” England’s first assignment is against Ireland in Dublin and although Twickenham has reported annual losses of $A56.6 million, Jones insists his title contenders are ready to sweep all before them. “Ireland are the best team in the world and when we play them at their home it will be a brutal game. Every Six Nations game is brutal. “Traditionally, if you look at Six Nations history over the years, it’s a big gain-line contest.

“The ball-in-play time is higher in the Six Nations than any other tournament in the world. You’ve got to be prepared for it. We’ll be prepared.” The 2019 Six Nations shapes as the last for Jones, Gatland and Ireland’s Joe Schmidt with their contracts up after the World Cup, but England’s boss insists the potential loss of three coaching greats will have little influence on how the Six Nations unfolds. “All the teams are focused on training well and how they can be at their best for the first

game,” he said. “No one is thinking, ‘this is going to be his last game, what are we going to do special for him?’. “We’re talking about the most highly motivated, most professional players in Europe playing for their countries. They don’t need special things to want to be better.” When asked if he would miss the Six Nations, Jones said: “I might be in it for another 10 years, who knows? I don’t know what I’m going to do.” - AAP

New Zealand captain Dallin Watene-Zelezniak is the first player to pull out of next month’s All Stars exhibition in Melbourne after undergoing minor knee surgery. Penrith yesterday confirmed the fullback-winger had been due for a clean out and was made unavailable to represent the Maori All Stars against the Indigenous All Stars on February 15. WateneZelezniak was in the running to be picked by Maori coach Stacey Jones, but will instead focus on preparing himself for the Panthers schedule of trial matches. WateneZelezniak said he was disappointed to miss the match but needed to be fit for round one.

Smarter batting Kane Williamson has called for a smarter batting approach as the Black Caps try to bounce back from a heavy opening defeat in their ODI series against India. The hosts were rolled for just 157 at McLean Park on Wednesday, batting for just 38 overs as first seamer Mohammed Shami, then a raft of wily spinners, put them under pressure in India’s eventual eight-wicket victory. Only Williamson, with 64, showed any resistance, as the middle order all got brief starts before departing. Partnerships of 34, 24, 31 and 26 between Williamson and the middle order summed up the New Zealand innings – fleeting promise that was cut short well before anything dangerous could emerge. Williamson praised the Indian bowling attack and said his side had lessons to learn.

Kohli to rest Good news for the Black Caps, maybe not so for New Zealand cricket fans. Indian captain Virat Kohli is to be rested from the final two games of the ODI series against the Black Caps, as well as the three-match Twenty20 series. The world’s best batsman, who scored 45 in India’s eight-wicket win in Napier yesterday, will only play two more matches in New Zealand. “Considering his workload in the last few months, the team management and senior selection committee is of the view that it would be ideal for him to get added rest ahead of the home series against Australia,” a BCCI statement said.

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Something in you wants to search for new inspiration. Wherever you go, you bring your heart, thoughts and desires to mingle with what’s there, including fresh landscapes, people and adventures. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): It’s not about the job; it’s about how you do it. So while others might be able to do the same job, none will do it quite the way you do. You’re irreplaceable. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): When it’s right, it’s right. You don’t have to talk a lot about it, or list the pros and cons, or run it by your friends and teachers and experts. When it’s right, you just know. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’re respectful of people’s time and therefore you find redundancy and inefficiency downright unacceptable. You’ll root it out, remedy it and have a surprisingly good time organising your next efforts. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Get realistic in your assessment of your abilities. Maybe you’re neither the best nor are you the worst in the room, but “the room” actually doesn’t matter. Other people have nothing to do with what you can do. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): When it comes to friendship, you don’t need a certain number to be happy, you just need to be certain of the ones you’ve got. You’ll see who you can count on, and it’s a good feeling and a good thing to know. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’ll tell the truth, but you’ll do it in a way that doesn’t shock, anger or upset anyone. You’re sensitive. And you’re coming from a place of love and possibility, so that helps, too. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): When you’re around a certain person, there’s an increased sense of stability, order and optimism in your world. You feel clear-headed and capable. It’s a good reason to have this person around more often. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): What do delusions of grandeur and delusions of insignificance have in common? Both are delusions of fragile ego. The way to a balanced view of yourself is through self-acceptance and love. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’re not afraid to do what your heart tells you. It will feel like your spirit is larger than your body, larger than the room, larger than the whole situation you happen to be standing inside. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): There must be a solution to the problem that has two people meeting somewhere in the middle, each sacrificing and endeavouring, if not to an equal degree, then at least to a comparable one. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You will communicate so clearly, talking to people instead of about people. This is the way of becoming more powerful in your own life and more influential in the world.

Top coach provides insights

Local coaches will be able to tap into the thinking of Mainland Tactix coach Marianne Delaney-Hoshek (below).

Local netball coaches from all sectors of the game are going to be given a rare insight into one of the most forward-thinking minds in the game next week when Mainland Tactix coach, Marianne Delaney-Hoshek holds a workshop. With the Tactix and the Beko League teams both playing in Ashburton next week, organisers have been working feverishly behind the scenes to ensure they can maximise the opportunity of having some of the biggest names in the sport available for sessions during the two days. Delaney-Hoshek earned praise around Australasia last year for her efforts in turning around the Tactix form and on the Saturday morning before her side plays, she will take a free coaching session for anyone who wishes to register. “It’s exciting to be able to get someone like her on board to pass on some of her skills and wisdom to locals,” Mid Canterbury Netball’s coach developer Claire Tappin said. “You don’t often get such a

chance to gain a real insight into how coaches at that level of sport operate.” Delaney-Hoshek will focus largely on explaining how she works through the process of selecting players for matches and what she focuses on when doing game analysis of players. Tappin believes it will be of huge benefit for local coaches. “It will be short and sweet, but very informative, basically it’s going to give anyone who’s there a chance to see how she operates and works through her systems.” Tappin said anyone who wished to attend the free workshop could do so by registering on the Mid Canterbury Netball website. Following Saturday’s session another hugely valuable session will be offered for coaches, managers, anyone involved in selection and even committee members of clubs at all levels of netball. After the Tactix have played their second game of the weekend on Sunday morning, a second session will be held by Netball New Zealand involving the Beko match on at the same time.

“The Sunday session will be focussed on what to look for in a player, how to conduct successful trials and then selecting squads and then teams for matches.” With 30 minutes of workshop prior to the Beko match beginning, attendees will then get the opportunity to put the theory to the test sitting behind the coaching table, which features local Andrea Cousins, before a wrap-up session following the match. The session will include some of the latest advancements in coaching and Tappin encouraged anyone with a strong interest in coaching or management at any level to head along. “Even if they’ve been to one of these before, we have a number who are coming again to refresh it’s a rare opportunity so well worth being a part of.” The Sunday session carries a $20 fee but does allow those registered entry to watch the Tactix match in the morning as well. As per the Saturday session those interested were asked to register on the Mid Canterbury netball website.
