South Island Seed Dressing director Brent Clarke and Prime Minister John Key.

PM says move to Ashburton

The Government has money on the table to encourage workers to relocate to Ashburton.

Prime Minister John Key said the $3000 relocation allowance promised to workers moving to Christchurch for rebuild projects was also available to those who took up employment opportunities in Ashburton.

Mr Key was in town to visit South Island Seed Dressing (SISD) yesterday to get a firsthand look at the scale of the country’s largest small seed dressing plant.

Company director Brent Clarke said difficulties recruiting staff was stymying growth in the district’s multifarious small seed industry. Efforts to lure staff from other areas had not proved effective.

“People know this is the place to grow seed – the bigger issue is to encourage people to relocate here,” Mr Key said.

“They (SISD) need more staff to grow, they are advertising on the West Coast, where there have been redundancies, but there has been a very low uptake. There is a very low level of unemployment here and the $3000 we

promised for Christchurch also applies to Ashburton.”

While aware of the district’s agricultural reputation, Mr Key conceded to being “surprised” by the scale of SISD’s operation.

“It’s much bigger than I would have thought,” he said.

“I didn’t realise it had so much domination on a world scale, particularly with carrots, and in China and other Asian markets as well.”

Five things that may interest you

Got a complaint? Get in line Spark has been identified as New Zealand’s most complained about company in a report released by the Commerce Commission. The Consumer Issues 2015 report notes the telecommunications company received 128 complaints under the Fair Trading Act last year. This was closely followed by Vodafone, which received 112 complaints in 2014 and Auckland Academy of Learning, which received 106 complaints.

ANZ Bank received the fourth most complaints, with 99, followed by Trade Me sellers, with 78 complaints. The commission noted that 31 complaints to Spark and 15 to Vodafone were triggered by the companies’ introduction of a $1.50 paper invoice processing fee. The complaints were considered by the commission to not be a breach of the act.

Chris Brown US singer Chris Brown may also be refused entry into Australia because of his history of domestic violence.

Last week the New Zealand Herald revealed the R&B singer’s plan to play a show in New Zealand could by stymied by Immigration New Zealand due to his 2009 attack on then-girlfriend Rihanna. Brown was convicted and as a result was denied entry into the UK in 2010 on the grounds of being guilty of a serious criminal offence.

Hours after Brown announced his One Hell of a Night would visit New Zealand in December Immigration New Zealand confirmed that Brown’s rejection from the UK meant he could not enter New Zealand. “If Chris Brown has been excluded from another country he will be ineligible to be granted a visa to enter New Zealand unless given a special direction,” a spokesman said. The Australian government took the same stance yesterday. Activists there have been campaigning to prevent his entry into the country over the assault on Rihanna.

Bloodhound world’s most powerful car

Newsroom Call 03 307-7957

The world’s most powerful racing car will be unveiled publicly for the first time. The 1000mph (1609.3km/h) Bloodhound will go on display at Canary Wharf in London and 8000 people are expected to see the supersonic racer. It is hoped that the £10 million ($NZ24.28 million) UK-built car will shatter the world land speed record, which currently stands at 763mph (1227km/h), when it is tested at full speed. The Bloodhound will undergo 200mph (322km/h) trials next year at Newquay Aerohub in Cornwall before embarking on a series of highspeed runs in a desert venue in South Africa. At full speed the car will cover a mile (1.6km) in just 3.6 seconds.

Eyesight put to the test A eyesight screening test at Flaxmere Primary School found 42 per cent of the students had conditions requiring further examination. The international charity Essilor Vision Foundation looked for hidden vision problems in Years 4-7 students, taking two days with specialist equipment and volunteer optometrists. Grant & Douglas optometrist Jenny Stewart said many students referred would not need glasses. It was “just a screening test” and many conditions were minor, but the number referred was higher than the expected 30 per cent. She was concerned that higher-than-average referrals might be indicative of a widespread problem. “If these findings are extrapolated out through the more than 227,000 children aged 9-12 in the rest of country, it means there are potentially thousands of Kiwi children whose learning may be impaired due to eyesight issues.”

New Interislander ferry A new addition to the Interislander ferry family arrived in Wellington yesterday.

The 180m freight and passenger ferry Kaiarahi has made a 13-day trip from Singapore, after undergoing an extensive refit, to join the Aratere and Kaitaki in crossing the Cook Strait. It’s not the first time Kaiarahi has visited New Zealand – she was originally chartered by Interislander in 2013, under the name Stena Alegra, but suffered several mechanical problems including an engine failure in Wellington Harbour. She also suffered a 6m gash in the hull during berthing difficulties, and lost part of a propeller blade. The boat was built in 1988 as the Dawn Merchant but since then has been re-named seven times – at one time going by the name T-Rex.

■ FONTERRA PAYOUT

Increased payout met with caution

By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz

Fonterra’s forecast 75 cents pay increase on next season’s milk cheque is being met with caution from suppliers and commentators alike.

The co-operative announced a 183 per cent increase in net profit after tax of $506 million and will make a final cash payout of $4.65 for the 2015 season.

Comprising a farmgate milk price of $4.40 per kilogram of milk solids and a dividend

of 25 cents per share, the final payout and $5 to $5.10 per kg/ ms forecast for next season was met with a subdued response from long-time Mid Canterbury dairy farmer Stuart Leadley.

“I guess in the end we are happy enough (with the results) but we would like to see them do better.”

Farming at Wakanui since 1972 and converting in 2000 Mr Leadley said while he looked for improvements in Fonterra’s performance he still believed in the model.

“But there’s a long way to go yet.”

Like all dairy farmers, Mr Leadley said he had cut expenses this season to meet the lower payout.

“But if I haven’t got my business in order so that we can stand this sort of thing, then we don’t deserve to be in business given the purchase date.”

ANZ chief economist Cameron Bagrie said the forecast for next season was encouraging but there were still some “pretty big issues” in the industry.

“The real issue is how much further can prices go up given that there is still ample supply of dairy product internationally?”

While this season’s payout was “a hell of a lot better” than the last forecast of $3.85, we need to be realistic, he said.

“This is still a long way from break even for the average dairy farmer so there is still a massive cashflow squeeze that is going to go across the dairy sector and rural New Zealand in the next 12 months. The cashflow

squeeze just got a little bit less terrible.”

Mr Bagrie disagreed with Fonterra’s projections of the average price of milk powder settling around $3500 per tonne, believing it would be at least $500 per tonne lower.

He estimated total New Zealand milk production would drop 5 to 8 per cent this season as farmers naturally cut back on production.

“We are seeing the right behavioural response with farmers aggressive at cutting costs.”

Water will drive economic growth, Key says

By Michelle NelsoN michelle.N@theguardiaN.co.Nz

Nothing will “move the dial faster” in terms of economic growth in Mid Canterbury than irrigation, Prime Minister John Key says.

Speaking to media in Ashburton yesterday, following a tour of South Island Seed Dressing’s operation, Mr Key reiterated the need for reliable irrigation water.

“Ninety-seven per cent of the water that falls in the South Island gets washed out to sea,” he said.

That water, which includes snowmelt, can be captured and stored for use when irrigation restrictions kick in, to provide more certainty for farmers – especially with a forecast El Nino on the horizon.

Mr Key said the government was taking the likelihood of a back-to-back drought on the country’s east coast, particularly in North Canterbury, very seriously.

“It’s very concerning – incred-

ibly low levels of rain will impact on growth of farms not just this season but into the future as well,” he said.

“Ultimately the El Nino could have such a big impact it will challenge some of these farmers.

“The only way to have more consistency for farmers is to provide consistency around water.”

While Mid Canterbury’s irrigation infrastructure offered some protection, more development was needed to futureproof the district’s agricultural industries.

In recent years the dairy boom had resulted in land lost to arable production, however Mr Key said it was possible some farmers could revert back to cropping in the face of the dairying downturn, with continued investment in irrigation efficiencies and water storage.

Access to reliable water sources also enabled farmers to operate more efficiently in line with environmental regulations.

■ NEW SUPERMARKET

In brief

Trees on borrowed time

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton might be gaining a new supermarket but it’s losing seven mature ash trees as part of associated street widening, and that’s raised the ire of Ashburton woman Marie Cousens.

The Ashburton District Council fought Hinds firefighters to save a lone bluegum tree in Hinds Domain and it should be fighting to save the ash trees on the East Street green, she said.

Firefighters wanted the Hinds tree felled and a new fire station built where it stood; the council decided to save the tree and build the station on another location.

The East Street trees’ fate was sealed during a land designation hearing earlier this year that gave approval to widen East Street at the South Street junction to accommodate turning lanes into a new Countdown supermarket planned for a site on the corner of East and South streets.

The road widening went through a public submission process and no objections were lodged against the street widening or the tree removal.

It might be legal but that doesn’t make it right; the council should have done more to protect the trees, Ms Cousens said.

Council open spaces manager David Askin is also unhappy about losing the trees, but said for the supermarket project to go ahead the road had to be widened and the trees had to

Each year Ashburton plays host to a group of Otago University medical school students as part of their community contact week and in return the school gives cash to the Ashburton District Council to give to a community organisation.

This year $500 has been given to the Ashburton branch of St John.

Major contracts Ashburton District residents keen to keep an eye on major contracts let by the Ashburton District Council can now do this through the council’s website. A contracts register table is now online and lists all contracts let with a value of more than $50,000.

go. “However, the condition of the consent is that they have to replant those trees and they have to do this with trees that are three to four metres tall,” Mr Askin said.

While they would be a poor substitute for mature 60-yearold trees with the screen of large elms behind them they would soon blend into the streetscape, he said.

“Unfortunately those trees can’t be lifted and saved, they’re too big, but any wood could be

used by woodturners.”

As keeper of the district’s open spaces, he said he was disappointed that this was the second slice of land to have been carved off the green in this part of town.

While members of the Ashburton Woodturners’ Group would happily salvage the trees, member John Millichamp said there could be a problem storing such a large amount of wood.

“Storage is always a problem

for us. Ash is a good wood to work with but it gets borer over time if it’s stored for too long, but it would be a shame to see this wood wasted,” he said.

The area of land to be taken from the green is about 93 metres long and three metres wide. Turning bays and traffic lights are required for traffic moving into South Street to access Progressive Enterprises new Countdown. The $20 million supermarket is anticipated to create 120 new jobs.

■ FARMERS’ MARKET

■ ARABLE INDUSTRY

Farmers’ market still going strong

‘Move to Ashburton’

Eight years on, Ashburton’s farmers’ market is still going strong.

It returns to its home in the West Street carpark on Saturday and while stall numbers won’t be up to full strength there will be a good range of produce on sale, organiser Judith Crozier said.

“We’ve already had a lot of interest from new stallholders and while not every one will be there this week because they may not have produce ready, they’re keen to be part of the market,” she said.

This weekend’s market will have food stalls, plants, turkey meat, honey and a number of

Funds for St john

other stalls selling a range of baked goods and home produce.

In the height of the growing season stall numbers increased markedly as vegetable and flower growers joined the market.

There is also an opportunity each week for people with surplus produce who may want a one-off opportunity to sell, to set up in business on the community stall, Mrs Crozier said.

The carpark has hosted the market since it opened and the location was ideal because it attracted shoppers from passing traffic on the highway, she said.

The farmers’ market runs from 9am to 12.30pm.

From P1 While the common perception was a district economy reliant on the dairy industry, Mr Key said the robust small seed industry highlighted the diversity in the agricultural sector.

He was also impressed with the technology in the SISD plant and the company’s international presence.

“They (SISD) are selling into Asian markets at a premium, and that niche in the market demands very high quality products,” Mr Key said.

“We are a long way from markets so we have to sell at premium prices, and to do that we have to have the best product, this company is doing that very well.”

Name suppression The man accused of murdering Christchurch toddler Ihaka Stokes will keep his name suppressed, for now. Legal arguments were heard in the Court of Appeal yesterday around the grounds for name suppression of the 22-yearold Christchurch resident. Ihaka Paora Braxton died on July 3 after suffering multiple blunt force injuries including broken bones.

Interim name suppression was granted to the accused at his first appearance in court so he could tell his parents of the charges.

Name suppression was extended and, when lifted by a High Court judge, the man appealed the decision to the Court of Appeal.

Judges in the Court Appeal will consider the arguments heard yesterday and deliver a decision as soon as possible.

Prize finally claimed The owners of a $5 million winning Lotto ticket have finally claimed their prize - in Auckland. The Auckland couple were visiting friends and family in Tauranga, enjoying a relaxing weekend away when they bought their ticket.

The married couple, who wish to remain anonymous, told the Bay of Plenty Times in writing they had not told many people yet “just the kids”. “We haven’t really thought about who we will tell just yet, we’re still in shock. We pick up tickets every now and again.

I always buy a ticket when we go away somewhere, just in case that’s the lucky spot that week.

We definitely got lucky this time.”

The New Zealand couple collected their life-changing prize yesterday.

“The first thing we want to splash out on is an overseas holiday. We don’t know where just yet, but somewhere warm would be nice.

We’ll also use some of the prize to pay off our mortgage and help the family. Other than that, we’re not too sure.”

Bulldozer ‘not only answer’ for library and civic centre

By Sue newman

Sue.n@theguardian.Co.nz

The site for a new civic building and library is still to be decided but Neil Brown has given a clear signal where his preferences lie.

At yesterday’s Ashburton District Council meeting, the eastern ward councillor nailed his flag to the mast making it quite clear he wanted a new option added to the council’s preferred site list of seven, the status quo.

“I don’t see the option of strengthening the existing library, strengthening the existing building and adding a new building beside it to accommodate staff.

It was one of the options we considered four years ago. The way it stands at the moment, the library is gone no matter what,” he said.

He was adamant that a total rebuild should not be the only option, that strengthening the existing buildings should also be in the mix.

The site options tagged in the council’s administration and library facilities project execution plan were by no means the only options, said mayor Angus McKay. “We’re saying that to date the options are these but that doesn’t exclude other

Respite care available in MC

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Respite care has been a saving grace for 93-year-old Stanley Haskett and wife Margaret.

Four years ago Mr Haskett had a fall that resulted in a broken hip and Mrs Haskett has been his primary carer ever since.

Having gone for more than 12 months without a break, moving house and having her own medical issues, Mrs Haskett decided to look into respite care.

Respite services are intended for people who are looked after by carers or family members as a way to give them a brief reprieve.

The care is funded by the Ministry of Health and involves short-term stays with a community-based provider, such as a rest home.

In Mid Canterbury a number of rest homes provide beds for respite care.

Cameron Courts Rest Home has one respite bed that is booked up until late November and Terrace View Retirement Village has another that is full until early next year.

Tuarangi Home and Rosebank Private Hospital and Rest Home have no designated respite care beds due to the need for full-time care, but can take respite residents if beds become available.

However other rest homes do have room. Methven House has two beds

RESPITE CARE ■

To receive publically funded respite care people need to be assessed by a member of the Canterbury District Health Board’s older persons’ health specialist service. This can be organised through a general practitioner.

Depending on the respite care allocation, people can book in for up to 28 days of respite care a year. This can be taken in one large chunk or in smaller blocks.

The Elder Net website can also be used to book respite care in Canterbury with obliging rest homes.

currently available and Princes Court has three.

Coldstream Rest Home and Hospital would not comment on its respite care.

Having just returned home from a three-week respite stint at Cameron Courts, Mr Haskett said he was treated like a resident, he had his own room and was able to take part in the group activities.

During his stay Mrs Haskett took a break of her own, visiting family in Australia.

Both agreed the respite care provided them with a well-deserved rest.

options coming in. It’s a short list and any of these could be deleted or more added.”

Currently the district’s civil defence base is in the council building and if it remained there the entire building would have to comply with a much higher percentage of the building code, said council finance and business support manager Paul Brake.

If civil defence was housed elsewhere, possibly in a new building constructed on the site of the council’s old villa on Havelock Street, then strengthening of the current civic building would not need to be as high, he said.

Yesterday the council adopted its administration and library facilities project execution plan and appointed Mr McKay and councillors Neil Brown, Peter Reveley and Russell Ellis as its control group.

A feasibility study will be undertaken that will review a long list of site options and reconfirm the short list of seven.

These will then be investigated to identify a preferred site with building configuration.

The project has an overall price tag of $16 million and is unlikely to be completed until 2018 at the earliest. It will involve extensive public consultation.

In brief

Bid to protect children

BY MICHELLE NELSON MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Controversial changes to the approach the state takes to protect the country’s most vulnerable children are in the pipeline, Prime Minister John Key says.

He was responding to a damning interim report released yesterday by Social Development Minister Anne Tolley.

Speaking in Ashburton yesterday morning, Mr Key said the report pointed to 90 per cent of children who had been in Child Youth and Family (CYF) care and struggled to break free from a cycle of abuse and benefit dependency as adults.

Many of these children also had poor educational outcomes, and became parents at an early age.

“It is devastating for the young people involved and comes at a huge cost to society.

“We have got to do a better

John Key

job there,” he said.

The report, compiled by a panel led by senior public servant Paula Rebstock, found children were not put at the centre of care, and the “fragmented system” lacked common purpose or accountability.

It also identified a “concerning level of re-abuse for chil-

dren who have been in care” as they are shuffled to and fro between caregivers or returned to risky families.

Mr Key said some of the recommendations to remedy the systemic problems might be “quite controversial” but would not be drawn on whether that could include measures to prevent dysfunctional parents from having more children.

However, he said the focus was likely to move from keeping children within their family to providing a stable environment.

“There is a presumption that the family is always the best unit to look after the child but some of the reporting today indicates that’s not always the case,” Mr Key said.

“I’m not saying the family doesn’t play an important role, but if the family is truly dysfunctional and the child is returning to an environment where it is going backward rather than going forward,

Chopper demolition

you have to ask the question whether that is really the right approach.

“We may have to justify taking children out of a stable environment to say by presumption they will always go to an extended family member – who maybe in another country or not in a position to look after the child well.”

Mr Key said the Government did not intend to shelve its responsibilities by involving charities and philanthropists in the challenge to do better for vulnerable children.

“There’s always a role for people who want help – and there are a lot of people who want to help these children when they see the dire situations they are in,” he said.

“I don’t think it’s the state looking to off-load its responsibilities – we invest a lot of money but we want to work together alongside others.”

The final report is due in December.

After months of planning, the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority was yesterday using a helicopter for the first time in the demolition of a Christchurch house. The clifftop home in Nayland St, Sumner, has been deconstructed by hand down to its foundations, and the helicopter is lifting remaining debris from the precarious site. Cera operations manager Brenden Winder said the debris like framing materials and wooden timber had all been taken down as normal. However, he said because the site was so constricted, it needed to be put into bags for the helicopter to lift out. Some of the material will be recycled, with the rest going to the Burwood Landfill.

■ LUXEMBOURG

In brief

Refugee centres to be set up EU leaders have agreed to mobilise at least 1 billion euros ($NZ1.780 billion) for refugees in countries neighbouring Syria through UN agencies, the bloc’s president Donald Tusk says.

The EU will also set up by the end of November special registration centres in frontline states like Greece and Italy to separate refugees fleeing war from economic migrants, Tusk told a press conference after an emergency summit. “‘Hotspots’ will be set up by the end of November,” Tusk

said. “This is an achievement because only a few days ago it had been very controversial.”

He said the leaders from the 28 EU countries agreed on increased aid to countries such as Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey which are hosting millions of refugees from war-torn Syria.

“At last an additional one billion euros will be mobilised for refugees in the region through the UNHCR and the World Food Program,” he said.

“The measures we agreed today will not end the crisis but

are necessary steps in the right direction,” he said.

Speaking at the same press conference, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, the head of the EU executive, said the “meeting took place in a better than expected atmosphere”.

Tusk had earlier called for ending “the cycle of mutual recriminations and misunderstandings” that has undercut EU efforts to forge a common response to the worst refugee crisis since World War two.

Europe is under increasing pressure over its handling of a huge influx of an estimated half a million migrants this year, many of them fleeing conflict and repression in Syria, Afghanistan and Eritrea.

But Tusk later said: “The meeting was really excellent, for sure much better than we expected.

“It’s a quite a symbolic moment. I am absolutely sure that we have stopped with this little bit risky blaming game.”

Russian investigators have exhumed the remains of the country’s last emperor Nicholas II and empress Alexandra as part of a new probe into the 1918 slaying of the Romanov family.

An investigator involved in the probe, Vladimir Solovyov, said the exhumation happened yesterday and included “taking samples from Nicholas II, from the empress, and from the uniform of emperor Alexander II,” the last tsar’s grandfather, who was himself assassinated in 1881. The remains will be subject to genetic testing, Solovyov added, as the powerful Investigative Committee confirmed the bodies buried in a Saint Petersburg cathedral were being re-examined.

Councillor re-elected Flashy newlywed councillor Salim Mehajer, who grabbed headlines for his show-stopping wedding in western Sydney, has been reelected as deputy mayor. The vote was carried out at an Auburn City Council meeting on Wednesday.

Fellow councillor Irene Simms said the chamber “sat in shock” as Mr Mehajer was re-elected in his position, and says it’s only a matter of time before Auburn Council is kicked out. “I could not believe he was actually a nominee,” Ms Simms said yesterday. “I think the fact that they even nominated him is a slap in the face to the people of this area again.”

Iraqis among 71 victims The 71 migrants found dead in a lorry in Austria last month included at least 10 Iraqi adults, police say.

Nearly a month after they suffocated in the sealed vehicle, nine men and one woman from Iraq were the first to be identified.

Confirmation of further identities is expected soon as relatives have provided valuable information, police spokesman Gerald Gangl said yesterday.

He added it might be weeks or even months before the names of all the victims are known.

“One has to take into account that DNA samples have to be obtained from countries such as Afghanistan,” Gangl said, explaining why the process will take time.

Many people have provided information by calling a dedicated Austrian police hotline since the abandoned lorry was found on August 27 on a motorway near Parndorf, close to Austria’s border with Hungary.

Some of the relatives have undertaken long trips within their home countries to deliver DNA samples to authorities which send them on to Austria, while others have travelled to Austria to meet investigators, according to Gangl.

Forensic investigations suggest that the migrants suffocated half an hour after the lorry started its trip in the Hungarian capital Budapest, and that they were already dead when the vehicle entered Austria.

Five people are being held in Hungary, and one man is being held in Bulgaria in connection with the case.

Remains exhumed

‘Attractive’ successor

VW chief quits as scandal grows Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has resigned over a pollution cheating scandal that has sparked a US criminal investigation and worldwide legal action with unfathomable financial consequences for the auto giant.

“I am shocked by the events of the past few days. Above all, I am stunned that misconduct on such a scale was possible in the Volkswagen Group,” Winterkorn said on Wednesday in a statement issued by the carmaker.

“Volkswagen needs a fresh start - also in terms of personnel. I am clearing the way for this fresh start with my resignation.”

The stockmarket barely flinched at the news. Following a two-day free fall that had axed 35 per cent - or 25 billion euros ($A39.26 billion) - off the company’s market value

on Monday and Tuesday, the shares had bounced back on Wednesday and closed up 5.19 per cent after Winterkorn’s announcement.

Even if the haemorrhage on the markets may have abated, Volkswagen, the world’s largest auto manufacturer by sales in the first half of this year, still faces a growing tangle of legal threats after it admitted that as many as 11 million of its diesel cars worldwide are equipped with software capable of fooling official pollution tests.

In addition to investigations from France to South Korea, public prosecutors in Germany also said they were examining information and evaluating legal suits already filed against the company by a number of private individuals to decide whether to launch a full criminal inquiry against

those responsible at VW. A day after Winterkorn had offered his “deepest apologies”, the 68-year-old said he accepted his “responsibility for the irregularities that have been found in diesel engines”.

But he also insisted: “I am not aware of any wrongdoing on my part.”

His widely predicted departure came after a meeting of the supervisory board’s sixmember steering committee in Wolfsburg.

A new chief executive is to be named soon, and other personnel changes were expected, the board said.

According to the US authorities, VW has admitted that it equipped about 482,000 cars in the United States with sophisticated software that covertly turns off pollution controls when the car is being driven.

The Dalai Lama has suggested that his successor could be female - but only if she is “very attractive”. The spiritual leader said there was no reason a woman could not replace him, adding that she would be more biologically suited to show affection and compassion. Speaking to the BBC, the Dalai Lama recalled how he had originally made a comment to a French journalist about 15 years ago. He said: “I think females should take more important role.

I told the reporter, if a female Dalai Lama comes her face must be - should be - very attractive.”

When asked for clarification, he continued: “When female Dalai Lama comes, then that female must be attractive, otherwise not much use.” The increasingly nervous reporter questioned whether he was joking, to which the Tibetan replied that what he was saying was “true”.

Blast toll rises to 203 At least 203 people have died after a tanker blast in South Sudan last week, as doctors struggle to save the lives of those badly burned. The accident happened last Wednesday on a road some 250km west of the capital, Juba, close to the small town of Maridi, with the victims including locals who tried to scoop up the fuel spill. “The death toll has reached about 203,” Health Minister Riek Gai Kok said in a statement read on state radio yesterday, updating an earlier toll of 186. More than 150 people injured in the blast are still in hospital, with 65 of some of the worst burned having been taken to the main hospital in Juba. Doctors with limited supplies struggled to treat the severe burns.

CEO gets big pay rise

83 jobs cut from science arena

As Fonterra prepares to lay off 750 staff, the firm yesterday disclosed that chief executive Theo Spierings received a pay rise of up to 18 per cent – taking his pay to almost $5 million in the last financial year.

The dairy giant’s latest financial statements show its toppaid employee earned between $4.93 million and $4.94 million in the year to July 31. That’s up from $4.17 million to $4.18 million in the previous year.

A Fonterra spokesman said Spierings’ latest salary figure was the value of his total salary package and included performance incentives earned in the previous financial year, when the company delivered farmers a record payout of $8.50 per kg of milk solids.

The spokesman said Spierings’ salary was based on international benchmarking and approved by the co-op’s people, culture and safety committee.

“Fonterra’s CEO salary is in

Theo Spierings

the top band of New Zealand CEO salaries, which is to be expected when you consider Fonterra is New Zealand’s largest and only truly global company with a $18.8 billion turnover in that reporting year,” he said.

On Monday Fonterra announced that the number of job cuts resulting from a business review had risen to 750 from a previously announced figure

Mr Robinson said AgResearch must balance shifts in its sector’s research needs – and therefore revenue – with “the need to respond to emerging science opportunities to maximise impact for New Zealand’s pastoral sector”.

“Declining R&D investment in some areas means that we are currently facing a significant and ongoing funding challenge in those areas.”

While both private sector and Government revenue was increasing in other areas, AgResearch’s net science revenue was forecast to be $5.3 million less for FY16 compared to FY15.

“We are therefore consulting with our staff from today on a proposal to reduce science staff in areas of shrinking demand”.

AgResearch has confirmed it will slash 83 jobs as part of proposed restructuring.

After a week of speculation about widespread job cuts at the Crown research institute, AgResearch yesterday confirmed it was “reducing” its scientist roles by 33 and its science technician roles by 50 in areas where it said customer demand and the potential for impact was dropping.

AgResearch chair Sam Robinson said this would be “partially offset” by the recruitment of 18 new scientist roles and nine new science technician roles in areas of growing customer demand and Government investment, such as the areas where we were successful in the 2015 MBIE Science Investment round.

This would bring the net job losses to 56, he said.

of 523. The company is under pressure to reduce costs as its farmer shareholders suffer financially from a slump in dairy prices.

Fonterra yesterday reported a $506 million full-year profit, up 183 per cent on the previous year’s result.

It also raised its forecast payout for the current season.

The financial statements also show the number of Fonterra employees who were paid a salary of more than $1 million in the year to July 31 rose to 22 from 17 in the previous year.

The number of employees paid over $1 million had been falling over the last few years from 26 in the July 2012 year, to 21 in 2013.

According to employee remuneration figures in the company’s annual result, those paid a salary of $100,000 to $110,000 totalled 1072 in the year compared with 957 in the previous year.

M

arkets across the globe had a shaky start to the week as investors continued to digest the US Federal Reserve’s decision to again hold interest rates at just above zero.

The decision was seen as confusing and commentary following the decision only added to investor worries.

This showed that there was only one dissenter on the committee who voted for a rate increase. It appears that the main reason for holding off on a rate rise was concern over slowing global growth, despite the US recovery being largely on track.

A rate hike in 2015 has not been ruled out by any means, although many analysts remain unconvinced that the Fed will act. September flash PMIs, measuring factory activity from the US, China and Europe were released and all contributed to concerns about slowing global growth.

Flash PMIs are mid month indicators which measure the level of activity within the manufacturing sector. A reading above 50 indicates expansion, while a reading below 50 indicates a contraction.

China was the biggest disappointment with a reading of just 47.0, the lowest reading in more than six years. Expecta-

tions were for a contraction, but not of this magnitude.

The US reading wasn’t a lot better, staying at a two-year low and at the same level seen in August.

The reading of 53 indicates that there was expansion and growth within the manufacturing sector, and this was in line with analyst’s expectations.

European PMI was measured at 53.9 for September, a drop from the previous month.

However, the survey also showed the new orders reached a five-month high, providing a positive catalyst for European markets.

European Central Bank President Mario Draghi spoke this week, commenting that the bank was ready to expand its current stimulus package if required following recent market turbulence.

However, Draghi prefaced this by saying the bank needed more time to determine whether the slowdown in emerging markets was likely to be tempo-

rary or permanent, and that the bank would like to assess the driving forces behind declining commodity prices and turbulence in financial markets.

Equity markets in Europe took this as a positive and gained. The euro also appreciated against the US dollar, climbing to its highest level in almost three weeks.

Detracting from the positivity in Europe has been the recent Volkswagen emissions scandal.

The German car manufacturer was found to be manipulating its diesel cars during emissions testing in the US. The deception could cost the company US$18 billion in the US alone.

Closer to home, Fonterra announced its annual result and saw a strong increase in net profit.

The co-operative posted a net profit of $506 million, up 183 per cent from the previous year.

It should be noted however that the comparable period was very weak.

PM’s visit well-timed Stu Oldham

EDITOR

P

rime Minister John Key’s visit to Ashburton was a well-timed reminder that small seeds are hardly small fry when building a resilient rural economy.

He visited South Island Seed Dressing and Storage on a whistle-stop visit to Mid Canterbury yesterday. He was impressed with the operation and marvelled at its size.

Given what we know, it was a little surprising the Prime Minister didn’t know the district dominated so much of the world market in particular seeds.

That said, it was not surprising that he lauded the work of a sector that had worked hard for a niche in markets that demand very high quality products.

Who knows, he enthused, perhaps all that hard work will encourage more farmers to convert to arable from dairying when more irrigation comes on line.

It was an optimistic thought on a morning when Fonterra confirmed a $506 million profit and a healthy boost to a notaltogether healthy milk solids pay out.

It was better news for Mid Canterbury dairy farmers – and everyone who relies on their success – after a forgettable season affected by drought and low prices.

Juxtapose that with the only interview opportunity Mr Key gave national media on his travels yesterday, when he talked about seeds, diversification and growth.

He acknowledged Fonterra’s layoffs – tough for those affected but probably the right thing by shareholders – but said labour shortages affected growth elsewhere.

This is certainly true of Mid Canterbury. There was no doubt it was the place to grow seed but the bigger issue was attracting the people to grow and process them.

The $3000 relocation grant to get jobseekers to Canterbury barely figured in local migration while the narrative was dominated by the dairy downturn.

But on his well-timed visit to Ashburton, Mr Key was in the right place to show the economy over which he presides presents plenty of unexpected opportunities.

YOUR VIEW Chemical riposte The article on Sulfoxaflor (Chemical linked to bee deaths, September 19) contained a few inaccuracies as well as uninformed comment.

Environmental Protection Authority (EPA NZ) conducts an assessment of all applications for approval of chemicals in NZ to provide that the environmental risks of the product can be managed to ensure that there is no harm caused.

The approval process for Sulfoxaflor had significant input from the National Beekeepers Association (NBA) through a series of prehearing meetings as well as attendance at a hearing.

There was also input from the Federated Farmers Bee Group who participated as a guest of the applicant, Dow Agroscience. Sulflxaflor was approved for use in NZ in 2013.

I believe that the conditions of use imposed on the product,

CRUMB

by both the manufacturer and the EPA NZ, should allow for crop protection whilst still protecting the health of bees.

The product is applied as a foliar spray and for bee safety the product is not allowed to be applied to flowering plants when bees are likely to be present.

At the prehearing meetings Dow informed NBA the product was safe for bees once it had dried on the plant.

There are occasions where a product is approved for use and it becomes apparent that there are consequences that were not intended, such as causing harm that only became known about through the use of the product.

In this case there is scope that an individual or group can take to have the product ‘reassessed’ by the EPA NZ process.

EPA NZ also initiate this process and we find that many chemicals are ‘withdrawn’ from the market because there is ‘evidence’ that suggests the risk of harm becomes greater than the

by David Fletcher

benefit of using the chemical.

As a beekeeper in Mid Canterbury I sometimes see the damage caused to beehives by agrichemicals.

In a lot of cases it is error and misuse of chemicals that causes damage.

NZ has one of the better ‘regulatory systems’ in the world to protect bees thus if applicators use chemicals ‘as directed’ there should be no harm caused to bees.

The US court decision appears to be a ‘procedural’ issue with the approval and not a ban because the product is dangerous.

The manufacturers acknowledge Sulfoxaflor will kill bees, however there are ways to protect bees and still be able to use the product for crop protection.

For NZ, there was an approval process (for Sulfoxaflor) that included public input.

I have confidence that the controls imposed on the product (if complied with by the ap-

plicator) will avoid contact with bees.

If it is found, in the future, that there are some ‘previously unknown’ harmful effects of the product then there is a process that can be undertaken to reassess the approval and modify controls or withdraw the product from the market.

Pine felled It has come to my attention that a person or persons have cut down a big beautiful pine tree at Lake Clearwater.

This was very special to the hutholders and was a landmark and was not blocking any views.

It was a long way from any baches so wind would not be a problem if blown down.

I would like the person or persons to respond to this letter of this vandalism that took place. I would cut them down at ground level if I find out.

Migrants: The shape of things to come Gwynne Dyer

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Should Red Peak have been added to the flag referendum?

No 90%

Yes 10%

Today’s online poll question Q: Should the boss of Fonterra get a pay rise?

T

he sheer dithering cluelessness of the European Union’s leaders, faced with an unexpected surge in the number of migrants seeking refugee status in EU countries, challenges all our previous definitions of incompetence. A new standard has been set.

All of a sudden, in July, the main stream of refugees arriving in Europe switched from the trans-Mediterranean route out of Libya to the Aegean Sea, where the crossing from the Turkish coast to the Greek islands just offshore is less than one-tenth as far. People are drowning on this Aegean route too, but far fewer of them.

They don’t want to stay in Greece, of course – and although Greece is part of the Schengen area, which abolishes border controls between most EU members, it has no common border with any other Schengen member.

Migrants wishing to claim refugee status in some richer EU country must therefore trek on up through the Balkans to some other Schengen country like Hungary or Slovenia.

Hungary has been building a three-metre-high razor-wire fence to keep asylum-seekers out, and it used considerable violence against the refugees at first. But then Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel announced that Germany would accept as many as wanted to come.

So Hungary opened its border and the refugees surged through, on their way to Austria and thence to Germany.

That lasted precisely two

days. Then Merkel panicked at the numbers arriving in Germany and “temporarily” closed the border with Austria.

So to stop refugees from piling up in Austria, Vienna closed the border with Hungary – and Hungary shut its border with Serbia for the same reason.

Nothing daunted, the refugees stuck on the Hungarian border turned left and headed for Croatia. Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic declared that his government was “entirely ready to receive or direct those people where they want to go, which is obviously Germany or Scandinavian countries.”

But 24 hours later the Croatian government, shocked by the numbers that were coming, shut its border too.

Despite all the confusion and cowardice, the EU will

probably sort it out eventually, because the numbers are not really huge. Around 500,000 migrants have entered the European Union this year, which is only one per cent of the EU’s population.

It is not beyond the wit of the EU’s leaders to strengthen the EU’s external border controls, to work out legal ways to send false claimants home, and to settle the refugees already in Europe.

Some lasting damage may be done to the EU’s ideals in the process, but life in Europe will return to normal – for a while.

However, this refugee crisis is only a rehearsal for the main event, which will probably arrive in ten to twenty years’ time. It will be driven by global warming, which will devastate agriculture in the Middle East and North Africa and produce a five- or tenfold increase in the

number of refugees heading for Europe.

This is not what MIGHT happen IF the world’s governments don’t make the right deal at the climate summit in Paris in December. This is what almost certainly WILL happen even if they do make the right deal now.

A considerable amount of warming is already locked into the system no matter what we do about the climate now – enough to produce that kind of refugee flow in the future.

There is not the slightest sign that EU policy-makers have taken this on board. If they are taken by surprise again, the European Union may collapse. So may several southern European states.

■ SHOOTING

Cooke on target for champs

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Ashburton College clay target shooter Jeffery Cooke will be looking to hit the mark this weekend.

The 16-year-old heads off to Hamilton today for the North Island and New Zealand National Secondary Schools’ Clay Target Championships.

Shooting for a year and a half competitively, Cooke said he took up the sport because it was something he had “always done”.

A keen duck-shooter, Cooke has natural ability, recently placing second overall in a field of 96 competitors in the South Island Championships held in July. He also achieved impressive results in the single rise event, where he placed second.

“It’s good fun, a way to blow off some steam,” he said.

Cooke practises every Tuesday night with the school but also runs with other clubs – pre-

dominantly Ashburton, Timaru and Methven and shoots with them on the weekend.

“You have good days and bad days,” he said.

This weekend the championships will be held at the Waikato Clay Target Club.

The programme will commence on Saturday with a welcoming, before the events kick off at 9am.

Cooke will compete in four events - single rise, points score, single barrel and skeet shooting.

While he hopes to bring home a title, Cooke said there is a bit of pressure as this is the last time he can compete in the competition. The Year 12 student plans to leave school at the end of the year and enter the workforce.

After the full-on weekend prize giving will take place on Monday and Cooke will head back to Ashburton that afternoon.

New singles, doubles events on calendar The tennis season is almost here and there will be more opportunities to play the sport in Mid Canterbury, according to new president Tony Brosnahan.

As well as the usual weekly competitions, a new Tuesday singles and doubles sponsored event will be introduced and prizes will be presented at the end of each round.

Mid Canterbury are the current holders of the Browning Shield, the historical Canterbury Country regional trophy,

having defended it in January and this season’s defence will be played on the weekend of January 23-24 at Lincoln.

Mid Canterbury juniors also have a busy representative calendar against other regions, having achieved great success in recent years with some of the top players going on to higher honours.

Regional coach Chris Anderson will continue to work with the Hot Shots, coaching in schools programme, and the Ace Squad programme for com-

mitted or elite juniors, as well as private coaching and other assignments for Mid Canterbury Tennis.

Administration functions will be performed on a part-time basis by Katherine McDonnell, who is starting her third season in the role.

There are changes in the governance area, with Brosnahan taking over after Cynthia Christie stepped aside after five years at the helm and Peter Leonard will head the new junior committee.

Breakers begin life without Webster Life after Corey Webster began in bright fashion for the Breakers, with the NBA hopeful’s replacement helping the defending champions to a pre-season victory over Townsville at the annual Blitz tournament.

The Breakers recorded a 79-75 win over the hosts on Wednesday night as Everard Bartlett scored 18 points to give the Breakers a welcome boost in Webster’s absence.

With their starting shooting guard currently auditioning for a spot on the roster of the New Orleans Pelicans, the Breakers last week turned to Bartlett as a temporary replacement. And Bartlett showed enough of a shooting touch to suggest he could fill some of the significant gap Webster would leave in the Breakers’ offence.

Bartlett, who last wore the Breakers singlet eight years ago, shot four of seven from beyond the arc to grab 18 points, ably assisting key contributions from Cedric Jackson (23) and Tai Wesley (13).

The Tall Black earned a spot in the champs’ starting five after solid displays in training leading up to the Blitz, with coach Dean Vickerman expressing his approval at the 29-year-old’s performance.

“He stretches the floor for us and came in confident,” Vickerman said. “I also thought he did a great job defensively on Clint Steindl. He got through every screen and really affected him and his three point shot.”

Along with Webster, Vickerman was also without the rehabilitating Tom Abercrombie and Alex Pledger, and the coach thought the experienced trio wasn’t the only thing missing from his side.

An opening half that saw the Breakers lacking energy allowed Townsville to take a four-point lead to the major break, while foul trouble for Tai Wesley and Reuben Te Rangi – along with a technical called on new import Charles Jackson – further soured the coach’s mood. The Breakers were also out-rebounded 44-36 and, with two games to come in Townsville, Vickerman pledged there was plenty of room for improvement.

“We were dumb with our fouls and we didn’t rebound well,” Vickerman said. “It felt like we were 11 o’clock in New Zealand the way we performed early on, but some of our young kids came out and gave the group some energy.”

In brief

Hammers need to improve

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury are Gisbornebound to lock horns with Poverty Bay in week six of the Heartland Championships tomorrow.

The Hammers are unbeaten this season with five wins in as many weeks, but were unconvincing in a 50-32 victory over winless East Coast at the Ashburton Showgrounds last Saturday.

Coach Grant Keenan addressed his side’s defensive frailties by bringing his weekly video analysis session with his players forward to Tuesday, rather than yesterday.

Keenan said the session was constructive and he expects an improved performance against Poverty Bay tomorrow.

“It was really good, you can’t hide behind what you see on the screen, a number of players admitted where they had done wrong and I guess the proof will be in the pudding on Saturday,” he said.

“It’s not like we’re sitting there after losing five from five, we’ve won five from five and just want to improve and that’s what it’s about.”

Poverty Bay’s Heartland campaign started brightly with a 60-15 mauling of East Coast but four losses followed against Thames Valley (43-37), Horowhenua Kapiti (54-26), North Otago (30-23) and Buller (3614).

Dylan Walker and Aaron Gray have been moved out of intensive care and into a private ward as their conditions continue to improve.

The health of the South Sydney duo has improved considerably since being taken to hospital early on Tuesday morning after overdosing on prescription medicine. However, the NRL players still have to pass a number of tests before they will be released from St Vincent’s hospital in Sydney. In his first comments on the incident, Souths coach Michael Maguire said the health of both Walker and Gray was getting better.

Cummins ruled out

Lock Maikeli Mudu touches down against King Country in week three of the Heartland Championships. Mudu will be unavailable for tomorrow’s clash against Poverty Bay due to a knee injury.

PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 050915-TM-179

Keenan said Mid Canterbury will look to exploit Poverty Bay’s habit of leaking tries at crucial moments, but is well aware of the Gisborne side’s attacking threat.

“I’ve watched their games and they’re a good side, but they seem to leak tries and give away silly tries.

“First and foremost it’s about winning, but we need to improve on last week.”

Keenan will have almost a full

squad to choose from with lock Maikeli Mudu the only Hammer unavailable due to a knee injury, while Poverty Bay will be without hooker Jody Tuhaka, who is sidelined with a back complaint, and lock Simone Akurangi with a calf injury.

Flanker James Grogan and Te Peehi Fairlee will also be missing after being called up for the Heartland under 19 squad.

Poverty Bay coach Mudu Ngarimu said his side’s wasted

opportunities had proved costly this term and expects a tough test against Mid Canterbury.

“We haven’t been able to capitalise on opportunities, it’s been disappointing, four losses in a row, we haven’t been clinical enough and haven’t been able to cope as well as last season,” he said.

Heartland Championships week six: Poverty Bay vs Mid Canterbury, 2.30pm, Rugby Park, Gisborne.

Guitoune double sets up French win Sofiane Guitoune scored two tries as France made it two World Cup wins out of two with a 38-11 Pool D victory over Romania at London’s Olympic Stadium yesterday.

The French scored five tries to seal a bonus point, with wing Guitoune and flanker Yannick Nyanga going over in quick succession in the first half.

Guitoune and centre Wesley Fofana also crossed within minutes of each other late in the game before Gael Fickou went over two minutes from time.

France coach Philippe SaintAndre made 13 changes to the side that beat Italy 32-10 in their Pool opener at Twickenham on Saturday - when wing Yoann Huget’s World Cup was ended by injury – and it showed early on as Romania forced a series of turnovers after Morgan Parra kicked Les Bleus into an early lead.

Romania thought they had the game’s first try in the 17th minute when, after winning a line-out near the French line,

they drove forward and spun the ball to centre Florin Vlaicu.

But, with replays inconclusive, South African referee Jaco Peyper - much criticised for excessive use of video replays during England’s opening win over Fiji last Friday - disallowed the score.

However, Romania had won a penalty in front of the posts and Vlaicu kicked his side level.

He then missed from 35 metres out and, worse still for Romania, tighthead prop Paulica Ion was sent to the sin-bin after

deliberately collapsing a maul.

France made the most of their man advantage in the 30th minute. Guitoune dived over near the right touchline, keeping his feet inside the whitewash, despite a last-ditch tackle

by Catalin Fercu.

Scrum-half Parra added the conversion to make it 10-3 and three minutes later France, three-time losing World Cup finalists, had another converted try.

Full-back Brice Dulin, coming into the line with a neat

side-step, initiated the move with a well-judged pass from Parra finding Alexandre Flanquart who in turn released Nyanga, with the flanker crossing the Romanian line out on the right.

Parra kicked another excellent conversion before Vlaicu cut France’s half-time lead to 17-6 with his second penalty.

More sloppy play marred France’s start to the second half and they failed to make the most of good field position when they kicked a penalty to touch for a line-out just metres from the Romanian line.

But they eventually had a third try in the 66th minute when Guitoune, stretching for the line, was eventually ruled to have scored despite suspicions of a double movement.

Parra converted and the game was beyond Romania.

The French then made sure of the bonus point when Dulin released Fofana, who grounded the ball despite some despairing last-ditch tackles.

Australian fast bowler Pat Cummins has broken down again, a stress fracture in his back ruling him out of next month’s Test tour of Bangladesh. The injury-plagued NSW quick was hoping to add to his only Test match after a fouryear absence, but Cricket Australia on Thursday said the 22-year-old would remain at home and faces a “lengthy rehabilitation program”.

Tasmanian allrounder James Faulkner has been named as Cummins’ replacement for the two-Test tour.

Pocock a rock David Pocock has reaffirmed himself as one of the Wallabies’ most crucial players at the World Cup with another powerful display in their opening win over Fiji.

Coming off a six-week stretch when they’ve played just one Test match - against the United States in Chicago - many Wallabies were shaking off the rust in Wednesday night’s 28-13 victory in Cardiff.

Pocock stood up in the most impressive way, earning man-ofthe-match plaudits for his two-try effort. “I thought Pocock was outstanding,” gushed Wallabies great Michael Lynagh.

- AAP

History in the making Roger Tuivasa-Sheck sometimes looks as if he could be the Six Million Dollar Man – he rescued a man after a car crash this year – but the talented 22-year-old is close to being the six thousand metre man. Tuivasa-Sheck is on the cusp of becoming the first player in the game’s 108-year history in Australasia to run 6000m in a season. Heading into tonight’s preliminary-final against the Broncos, he already has 5591m and needs his side to advance to the grand final to make it. - NZME

Mannering in for tests Simon Mannering’s Kiwis future could be decided by the end of next week. There has been plenty of conjecture over Mannering’s inclusion on the Kiwis tour of England after a draining Warriors season and battles with injury and illness this year. Some have suggested that the Warriors captain should miss the trip, but Kiwis coach Stephen Kearney remains positive. “Simon was pretty crook with his last couple of games with the Warriors, and because of his workload it is about managing him correctly,” said Kearney. “He’s been in for a few tests about an illness ... we will see how it pans out.”

■ RUGBY WORLD CUP

ABs focus on one game at a time A difficult few weeks lie ahead for the All Blacks as they deal with a fixture list that isn’t going to take them to the edge of their physical limits.

They have been here before, in 2007, and stuffed up. They got caught up in the carnival atmosphere of playing the hapless Portugal and equally poor Romania, and weren’t helped by the poor performances they encountered from Scotland and Italy.

It felt like the All Blacks were filling in time while waiting the quarter-finals.

They had tight forwards coming off the bench to play in the back row, and they didn’t go out of their way to deny the situation was far from ideal.

It’s a mistake Steve Hansen – assistant coach eight years ago – has learned from. And it’s something the players are equally determined to avoid.

They are determined to keep themselves in a “playoff ” frame of mind – to prepare for Geor-

gia and Tonga as if they are deadly Tier One nations.

They steadfastly refused to be anything other than hugely respectful of Namibia. There was no talk of it being a romp and any suggestion it would be was quickly quashed.

The All Blacks can’t afford to be anything than clinical and ruthless.

They could get away with being a bit sloppy and still win games, but that mindset will hardly serve them well when they reach the serious business of the knockout rounds.

Essentially then the All Blacks have removed the opposition from their thinking.

The Namibian test and the next two games are all about them setting the standards of performance they want to achieve.

They won’t be happy just winning – they want to tidy up their cohesion, find the slickness and pace they feel they will need to have deeper in the tournament

Ma’a Nonu.

and generally build their confidence in their game structures and ability to put them all together.

“Each team has to prepare in its own way,” said Hansen yesterday. “One of the things we pride ourselves on is trying to improve our performance from the previous one.

“We put a line in the sand against Argentina, and the group going out (against Namibia) have to change that to a

higher performance level.

“Rugby is a funny thing. If you don’t play properly you get a hiding.”

The All Blacks will draw another line after they leave Olympic Park and challenge themselves to go up another gear again when they meet Georgia.

There won’t be any let up in their mentality.

They won’t begin to entertain the notion that there are two phases to this World Cup: the

playoffs and then the knockout rounds.

They have only ever talked about the next game.

Any questions that come about opponents further down the track are dismissed.

It’s one game at a time, with a belief that anything else will be detrimental to their progress in terms of building their performance.

It’s an entirely different approach to when the world knew the All Blacks would qualify at a canter and the players did, too.

Which is why Hansen said several times before his team left for England that the problem in 2007 was that the All Blacks – red hot favourites – turned up in France expecting to win.

They weren’t hungry enough for it, didn’t realise there would be 19 other teams there all with the same desire. So this year, Georgia and Tonga may well take a pounding but the first inkling they will get of that is when it is happening. - NZME

Staggered journeys The World’s Cup: The New Zealand Herald’s Steve Deane scours global media for an offbeat look at rugby’s biggest show.

Frustrated fans have been forced to queue aimlessly for hours while attending RWC2015 matches.

Fans trying to head home from Twickenham by train following the opening match between England and Fiji were caught in a major snarl-up following a death on the tracks.

In Wales, accessing the Millennium Stadium by train has been so fraught the Government has stepped in and told train companies to sort themselves out.

First Great Western admitted to being surprised 43,000 people had headed into Cardiff for a match between Ireland and Canada. “Sorry rugby trains busy today, extra services running tonight. Queues likely, if you can, please stagger your return journeys,” the company tweeted to its irate, immobile customers. Staggering home is not normally an issue for rugby fans, it’s the standing still for three hours with no bar service that gets them.

Yesterday’s match between Australia and Fiji was just as bad, with the rail commuters facing three-hour queues and motorways clogged. Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb has stepped in demanding train companies “fix this”. The companies have responded that they have the capacity to move 10,000 passengers an hour out of the city. For a crowd of 43,000 - you do the maths.

And we thought North Harbour Stadium was bad.

Blame Blossoms Japanese reaction to the Brave Blossoms’ back-to-reality hammering by Scotland has been swift. What chance, really, did the plucky Blossoms have when fronting up again just four days after upsetting the Boks, asked The Japan Times? “Forced into a ridiculous four-day turnaround and with potential match winner Amanaki Leilei Mafi stretchered off in the 44th minute, Japan played bravely but were never able to repeat the magic of their historic win over South Africa on the opening weekend.”

Congratulations Japan. You’ve just be-

Royal Watch RWC2015 is fast becoming the tournament of moving singalongs.

A bunch of Welsh stars have been singing for Prince William, reports the BBC. “The squad belted out a traditional Welsh song called ‘Down by the Sea’, or ‘Lawr Ar Lan y Môr’ in Welsh.

The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, who is also the Vice Royal Patron of the Welsh Rugby Union, was at the ceremony, and seemed to enjoy the performance. Although the Duke joked that he was glad Wales “played rugby better than they sing”. Comedy gold, Wills.

Blogger me A poster to the website Anglotopia (the website for anglophiles) has shown just how quickly rugby illiterate Yanks can pick up the game.

“There seems to be a lot of kicking the ball back and forth that I haven’t quite wrapped my head around yet,” wrote the poster, sounding a lot like your average Kiwi fan watching England play. Other noteworthy observations include: “One of my favourite parts to watch is the lineout. At the start of play, a team will lift one of their players up high into the air. That player catches the ball and then throws it to a teammate. I just think it’s really fun to watch these big, burly guys lift each other up so high.”

And: “It also made me chuckle to see people eating pork pies in the stands… definitely not something you see in the US”. Quite.

25/9 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): These days it’s more difficult than ever to capture and hold anyone’s attention, but you’ll do it well quite by accident today. You’re so interested in your activities that you make other people interested, too.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): When you find yourself in a funky mood, focusing on the ecstatic moments you’ve experienced will help you trample negative thoughts like a player headed toward the goal line.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You cast a bewitching spell so you just have to show up. In fact, when you try to be more engaging, attractive, etc., it works against you. Nonchalance is your secret weapon.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You don’t need a quick anecdote, an instant solution or an extreme cleanse.

What you need is a lifestyle change. It will happen through habit. Set up the routine and repeat it hundreds of times over. It’s the only way.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’d rather be the rejected than the rejecter. Even when you’re not sure you’re in the mood to socialise, make suggestions and initiate plans. Things will pan out perfectly.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Someone is fascinated by you and wants to know what makes you tick. You may find this amusing because you’re not sure that you even know what your motivation is today. You’ll figure it out together.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The best and worst outcomes are often the same. You’re not sure what to hope for. Focus on executing your plan precisely and let the rest surprise you.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): There’s no question you’re more attractive to others when you’re attractive to yourself. The habit you wish you didn’t have is going to have to go.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ll probably have trouble recalling good experiences — a sure sign that you need to create a few more of them.

This weekend will bring a prime opportunity.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Wouldn’t it be awesome to see wildly and send impulses with your touch? You’ll settle for 10 percent more awareness of your surroundings, making a beautiful difference.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Some people are better at compartmentalising feelings than others. You’ll benefit from your association with such a person and be better off with good internal boundaries.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You don’t experience one emotion at a time. Your emotions mix like recipes, turning each interaction into a unique, unforgettable concoction.

Ballers keep kids on toes

Mid Canterbury students were given the opportunity to hone their skills with Canterbury Rams’ Marques Whippy, Ethan Rusbatch and coach Mark Dickel at Mt Hutt College and the EA Networks Centre yesterday. The youngsters were given tips on how to improve their dribbling, passing and shooting and Dickel intends to bring the Rams back to Mid Canterbury in the near future. “We’re just trying to reach out to a bigger area and give all of the kids the chance to have a go, they’re all mad keen,” he said.

Gritty Magpies hang onto shield Hawke’s Bay have made an 11th successful defence of the Ranfurly Shield after a gritty second half saw them to a 17-12 victory in Napier against the previously high-flying Auckland.

This was an epic Shield encounter from the get-go, with all the intensity of a final and there was a high attrition rate, with both sides losing several players injured, Hawke’s Bay fullback Israel Dagg among them, in this brutal clash last night.

It was the sixth occasion a Championship side has scalped a

Premiership outfit in 2015, and there was sheer joy and relief at the fulltime whistle as Auckland replacement hooker Kurt Eklund could not throw the final lineout ball in straight.

A critical error by Auckland wing Bryce Heem led to Ihaia West’s try at 64 minutes. Heem dropped the ball in the in-goal and then inexplicably forced it, handing Hawke’s Bay a 5m scrum. West zipped over after 12 hard-won phases to give the Magpies a 17-12 lead. It wasn’t the last error Auckland

would make as they came under the intense shield heat and the staunchest defence of Hawke’s Bay. Yet from the moment Auckland prop Ofa Tu’ungafasi picked up Hawke’s Bay centre Richard Buckman like he was a sack of spuds, it was apparent that the Ranfurly Shield challengers were bringing strongarm tactics to their work at Napier’s McLean Park.

Akira Ioane was outstanding, both with and without the ball from No 8, for Auckland, con-

stantly making metres and then stinging in defence.

Both sides forgot they were in different divisions and just smashed into each other with fearless abandon. The Magpies were clearly up for it, and men like blindside flanker Tony Lamborn were well equipped for the physicality.

At 12-10 with just one try in the first half, one might have thought it was a dour, colourless struggle between the packs, but in truth there was a lot of open play and admirably vigor-

ous defence. It seemed as if the Magpies, who threw the proverbial sink at the challengers, were always running into the hard point of the Auks’ shoulders, notably Joe Edwards and Ioane.

But they did break them down eventually, after 35 minutes and 23 consecutive phases, and skipper and No 8 Brendon O’Connor emerged from a pile of bodies with the kudos.

It seemed weird that four penalties to captain Simon Hickey were all Auckland had to show for their endeavours. - NZME
