Council inaction needles resident By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

P40

World champ

Inaction from the Ashburton District Council over a dangerous needle left lying on a CBD footpath for several days has left a resident incredibly frustrated. The man, who has asked not to be named, said he first saw the needle on the street last Thursday and reported it to the council. After seeing it still in the same location on Friday, he visited the offices of the council and said a note was made. His frustrations grew further earlier this week after he walked down Tancred Street once again and saw the needle still there. “I am just thinking about the safety of the kids, a little two-year-old walks past and picks that up and puts it in its mouth or something, it isn’t going

to end well,” he said. Ashburton District Council service delivery group manager Neil McCann said issues like this are the responsibility of the council and that it was unfortunate there was a delay in this instance. “We greatly appreciate the public advising council of potentially dangerous or hazardous materials they encounter and we endeavour to action these requests as soon as possible,” he said. “Unfortunately there was a delay in this particular instance and we will do our best to respond sooner.” Residents are urged to report similar issues at first instance via the council’s Snap Send Solve App, by calling its customer service team (03 307-7700), or by reporting it in person at the council offices (5 Baring Square West).

The concerned resident eventually removed the needle himself on Tuesday, the same day the council contractor was scheduled to remove the needle. “I can confirm that the gentleman did alert one of our meter reader officers regarding this on July 18 who then created a Snap Send Solve immediately on the spot,” McCann said. “This was then converted to a service request by the following day, the same day the same gentleman came to our offices. “Our rubbish collection contractors, who are trained and equipped to dispose of sharp objects and hazardous materials, was notified on Friday afternoon to schedule and action the cleanup which was carried out on Tuesday, July 23.”

Climate change brings farmers together By Linda Clarke

linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Canterbury farmers worried that climate change proposals will break their businesses packed into the Ashburton Trust Event Centre yesterday to hear about the Government’s plan to make them pay for agricultural emissions. About 120 people, including farmers and community leaders, turned out to a public consultation meeting hosted by the Ministry for the Environment where the science and political motivation behind the proposals was questioned. Government’s long-term proposal is to bring livestock and emissions into the Emissions Trading Scheme by 2025 with farmers paying 5 per cent. Methane emissions (belching from livestock) must drop by 10 per cent by 2030. It is consulting on that and two options about what will happen in the interim – the first being to price emissions at processor level and the second a primary sector-Government work programme to reduce emissions and implement a price at farm level. Methven dairy farmer Andrew Barlass said the 1c per kilogram of milksolid emissions price looked good when carbon was priced at $25 a tonne, but a price rise to $200 a tonne (as predicted) could equal a cost that would make his business unprofitable. “I don’t think ruminants (livestock) are the problem. I think people driving in cars and burning fossil fuels are the problem. The only people getting smashed are the farmers.” Eiffelton farmer Ian Mackenzie said farmers also needed to be

recognised for the carbon dioxide taken up by their pasture and crops. He was told carbon sequestration was a tricky scientific calculation but that farmers could ask for that in their submissions on the proposals. Hororata farmer Gavin King said farmers also needed access to genetically modified ryegrass that had been proven to reduce methane emissions by 20 per cent in stock that ate it. New Zealand’s GM-free stance means it can’t be grown here. “We should be allowed to use that ryegrass if they are going to impose those taxes.” Federated Farmers’ Mid Canterbury president David Clark said the only way to reduce methane to meet the proposed targets was to reduce stock numbers, which would have an affect on farmers staying competitive in the market. He asked if there were plans to impose a tariff on food coming into the country from less emission-efficient producers. There are none in the pipeline, although some EU countries are proposing tariffs on goods from countries not tackling climate change. Yesterday’s information session was about encouraging people to engage in the consultation process and make a submission. MfE’s Matt Everett said farmers were already doing plenty to manage emissions, but the proposals were about helping stabilise the temperature of the planet. As a leader in agriculture, New Zealand had the chance to pave the way for others. He urged people to make a submission by August 13 and said Government knew it had to get it right, or the economy would tank.

Courthouse receives blue plaque By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

The historical significance of the Ashburton Courthouse was recognised yesterday with the unveiling of a blue plaque. The plaque is the seventh to be unveiled by Historic Places Mid Canterbury across the district. The courthouse, which was built in 1938 and designed by John Mair serves an important role in the community, and its art deco design represents a shifting in thoughts around public building design said vice chairperson

Nigel Gilkison. “The plaques are about showing the importance of valuing heritage,” he said. Gilkison said the plaques were not just about showing the history of the building, but also sharing the story of the buildings, something people have to do on behalf of the buildings. District courts service manager Chris Greaney said the Ministry of Justice was pleased to be a part of the project and the recognition of the role the building serves.

Local lawyer Paul Bradford also spoke at the unveiling, and said it was important that the local people had their issues arbitrated locally. “I believe that there are 37,000 that really rely on this court, I believe local people should have their disputes arbitrated locally,” he said. “This is also one of the only places where everyone is treated truly as equals, whether you are a millionaire or unemployed, what you are going to receive from this court is the same.”

Patience needed on Chalmers Ave By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton District Council is asking for a little bit of patience from the public after many residents voiced their concerns about potholes and the quality of seal on Chalmers Avenue. Large potholes appeared on the section of road where recent major sewer work had taken place after heavy rainfall over the weekend. Service delivery group manager Neil McCann said a three-metre deep trench had been dug to replace the sewage pipes under the road and that ground shifting after heavy rainfall had led to potholes forming. “A lot of material had to be put on top and, with there being not ideal weather conditions, it has led to this happening,” he said. “It is just unfortunate that the works finished up around the same time as a wet patch. “There were some potholes that followed and ACL were down there straight away on Monday to repair those.” McCann said for the next 12 months the task repairing potholes were the responsibility of ACL and after that it was the responsibility of the council. “If you see anything let the council know straight away,” McCann said. “We will definitely be keeping

Double digit increases for Jobseeker Support beneficiaries By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Jobseeker beneficiary numbers have increased substantially in Mid Canterbury. National blames the government having a “soft approach”, while Labour points to population growth. There has been increase of 15,500 people on benefits nationwide since 2017, and in Mid Canterbury the number of people on Jobseeker Support in June 2018 was 419, compared to 475 in June 2019, equating to a 13.4 per cent increase.

National’s Social Development spokesperson Louise Upston claims Labour is not motivated to help New Zealanders into work. And she called for the Minister of Social Development Carmel Sepuloni to rename the Jobseeker Support benefit “because its recipients are no longer obliged to look for jobs”. Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon echoed Upston’s concerns, and said in Mid Canterbury in particular there was record low unemployment, “so we shouldn’t be seeing double digit percentage increases in the number of people

on benefits”. “Taking a soft approach on benefit obligations and making it easier for people to rort the system will only make it harder for employers out there who need staff, and for taxpayers who have to pick up the bill,” Falloon said. Meanwhile, Sepuloni maintains the 15,500 increase nationwide remains in line with population growth. This argument does not gel locally, with the Guardian estimating population growth averaging less than two per cent annually in recent years in the district, based

on online demographic resources. Labour List MP based in Mid Canterbury Jo Luxton said Government is stepping up and getting families left to struggle under National’s nine years in power “working again”. Government was focused on upskilling and training to enable beneficiaries to access long-term work in Mid Canterbury’s “tight labour market”, where employers wanted skilled workers. Government had boosted the Ministry of Social Development by 263 frontline staff, upskilling 25,000 people on a benefit last

year alone. This included reducing barriers to employment in rural areas such as Mid Canterbury, such as travel, by introducing free driving lessons. “Since this Government took office, 70,000 more New Zealanders are in work and getting paid more for it. We have lifted abatement thresholds so people on a benefit are incentivised to also work and keep more of what they earn, and updated the Ministry of Social Development website to help people find their full entitlement, which would support a rise in Jobseeker benefits,” Luxton said.

■■MENTAL HEALTH

In brief

Speak Up tour hits Methven By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Rural folk and their four-legged friends will be coming from far and wide tonight for the mental well-being event Will to Live. Held at the Blue Pub, the evening is part of the nationwide regional Speak Up Tour initiated by Elle Perriam. The Banks Peninsula shepherd lost her partner to suicide in 2017. She said she became acutely aware that a lot of funded mental health programmes were focused on farm managers, and farmers going through droughts. “But it has a flow-on effect really, and people can feel it right along the line, that’s why I wanted to make something for everyone,” Perriam said. Additionally, there was a waiting time for counselling help, and this could be difficult for people on farms to access with annual jobs, such as lambing and shearing, making it hard to take time off.

Unexplained death The death of a woman at The Point in Ngaruawahia is being treated as unexplained. The 48-yearold woman died Wednesday and a medical examination was carried out. Anyone who may have seen the woman near the Ngaruawahia Squash Club or the lower Esplanade road during the morning yesterday, is asked to contact police. The woman was dressed in black clothing and was accompanied by a man, who was also wearing black clothing. The man has been identified and is assisting police with inquiries. Anyone who can help is asked to contact Huntly police. – NZME

Speakers talking about their own journeys will include South Canterbury high country station manager Harry Railton, and former Mount Hutt College head boy Sam Robinson. Robinson has formerly talked publicly about his struggles with depression, which he suffered for years after leaving school. Community and Public Health representative Pup Chamberlain is also to speak at the event, which begins 6pm and includes dinner, a charity auction and live music. Tickets are just $10 to cover expenses. Perriam now owns her late boyfriend’s favourite huntaway Jess, who will lead a chorus of barking from all the dogs present. This would occur following a moment’s silence. Perriam said this ritual on the tour was symbolic of changing a culture of silence around mental health, and encouraging people to share their stories.

Woman arrested A woman has been arrested and charged in relation to sexual allegations around students at Marlborough Boys’ College. Police said the charge was part of an ongoing investigation into sexual allegations at the school. The woman will appear at Blenheim District Court on Monday. – NZME

■■ROAD SAFETY

Maronan Road bridge work gets councillors tick By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Faced with finding a safety solution for a rural bridge that has been the scene of two fatalities, Ashburton District councillors had no hesitation in deciding to spend $200,000 on safety improvement work. In 2015, and again this year, a northbound vehicle collided with the downstream or eastern side rail, resulting in the vehicles leaving the road and plunging into the riverbed below. Both vehicles were over-width fertiliser spreaders.

When council staff investigated, it became clear that while the bridge had good access visibility, its guard rails were narrow and their construction was not designed to contain vehicles. Doing nothing to improve safety on the bridge was not an option, councillors decided and they agreed with safety measures that would both increase bridge width and also provide barrier protection. This work would see the kerb and side rails removed and replaced with full width beam guardrail and side protection.

There will also be improvements to the bridges approaches. The improvements would slightly widen the carriage way and the 4.1 metre span between the barrier faces would allow sufficient space for over-dimension agricultural vehicles. The span is the same as that used on many new rural bridges and had proven to be sufficient, Fauth said. The bridge has been on use since the 1960s and the proposed work will significantly improve its safety.

Councillor Lynette Lovett said that its accident record also included two tractors that had gone through the side railings and into the Hinds River. Up for consideration was a doing nothing option or a doing just minimal work, but councillors had no appetite for the budget options and wanted to ensure an end to the bridge’s legacy of fatalities and accidents. The work will have no impact on rates and will be carried out under the current approved work programme.

When a woman came to rescue her friend after he crashed allegedly driving drunk, she ended up getting arrested herself. Police were called about midnight Wednesday, when a 27-year-old man rolled his car down a bank in Dunedin. He was found to have an excess breath alcohol reading of 951 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath. The 24-year-old woman, who drove to the scene, was also breathalysed and found to have a breath alcohol reading of 340mcg. – NZME

Roading $s increased The Government has more than tripled the amount of roads it plans to make safer as part of its $1.4 billion road safety programme. When it unveiled its plan in December last year, Transport Minister Phil Twyford said 870km of Kiwi roads would be included in the initiative. Speaking alongside Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern next to State Highway three in Hamilton yesterday, Twyford said the safety programme would now cover 3300km of roading across the country. That’s an increase of 2430km of roads. – NZME

Book proceeds donated By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

The first proceeds from Robin Pridie’s book Our Place, Mid Canterbury have been donated to Ashburton St John, and a second run of the popular book is already in planning. The book, a collection of landscape photographs taken around Mid Canterbury, was the culmination of decades of passion for photography for Pridie, who was given his first camera when he was eight. Pridie said the decision to put all the proceeds towards St John was an easy one. “They saved my life in 2008 when I had a heart attack on Christmas day and I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them and my granddaughter is a paramedic in Auckland,” he said. “So it was a pretty easy choice really.” The book has sold nearly all of the run of 200 printed copies, and a second print run is also in the pipe-work, along with a new book for the South Canterbury area. “I am planning another book for South Canterbury and once we get that done that will be good, though it might take a bit longer as it is a bigger

of the environment. Allen said Federated Famers supported changes to the act to remove unnecessary complexity, delays and costs. But it would be hard to make processes faster when regional and district councils were already under-resourced. “The trend appears to be for central government to push national regulation onto local government, expecting them to both resource and fund processes. This is isn’t a case of local government being given too much power, rather it’s a trend of central government putting out cookie-cutter national rules and regulations, and expecting

local councils to make them work. “We have real concerns over central government interfering with local processes, as many regional councils are well under way in developing plans to address water quality and quantity,” he said. “Some of these plans are already in place, and other regions are wrestling with tricky questions around how plans can be tailored so they are both efficient and effective. Anything that interferes with these processes, and the considerable economic and social investment already made by our communities, could be a step-backwards

for water quality management in New Zealand. “There has been a massive investment in time and money into changing farm practices and infrastructure, and getting a better understanding of the implications of activities on land to the environment.” Allen said there was a groundswell of change happening across the country, from landowner level to catchment groups and wider district efforts, on track for improved outcomes. The review would be no easy task, with many diverse opinions and concerns to be considered, he said.

Potentially hundreds of motorists have damaged vehicles after a large pothole opened up on State Highway One, near Robinsons Road, on Saturday night. Due to the heavy rain most motorists did not sight the pothole until it was too late, or not at all, with a number of motorists reporting damaged rims or punctured tyres. The NZ Transport Agency said as of Tuesday it had received eight complaints but from reports on social media that number could rise significantly, with one motorist witnessing four cars all lined up near the scene changing their tyres when they passed through on Saturday night. Heavy rain on Saturday opened up a number of potholes along the stretch of State Highway One roadwork associated with the Christchurch Southern Motorway Stage 2 project. “I have talked to the Christchurch Southern Motorway Stage 2 project team who confirm that as a result of the recent heavy rain over the two days prior to Saturday night, a number of potholes formed quickly along Main South Road/ SH1, in particular in and around Robinsons Road in an area of temporary road,” principal project manager, Geoff Griffiths, said. “The Christchurch Southern Motorway team responded as fast as possible to the reports of potholes, moving traffic away from the potholed areas when they could safely do so. “They then undertook temporary repairs. “The site remained under its temporary speed limit of 60km/h throughout and loose chip signs were also installed to warn drivers to slow down. The potholes currently hold a temporary asphalt and are safe to drive over he said. Motorists who may have suffered damage at the weekend are advised to their talk to their insurer in the first instance.

Tenancy reforms will affect tenants NZME Tenants will soon have to pay for any accidental damage they make to a rental property – rather than rely on landlords’ insurance. But the amount will be capped at four weeks’ rent, so landlords cannot cripple them with huge bills. The change comes after a landmark court case in which the owners of a Dunedin house which burned down were not even able to claim the insurance excess back for the damage. It is part of a series of measures passed into law on Wednesday with unanimous backing. Here is what the changes will mean for landlords and tenants. Tenant damage Tenants will now be liable for accidental damage, but only to a specific limit. If they carelessly damage a property, the landlord will be able to claim back their excess or four weeks’ rent – whichever is lower. Associate Housing Minister Kris Faafoi said the liability was set at a rate which balanced landlords’ costs and encouraged tenants to look after their rental property while not facing excessive costs. Landlords will have to say whether they are insured and for how much in the tenancy agreement, and make any insurance details available on request. If they don’t they can be fined $500. The changes came about after a Court of Appeal ruling. In 2009, tenant Tieko Osaki put a pot of oil on the stove which then caught fire and burned down the Dunedin house she was

Tenants will soon have to pay for any accidental damage they make to a rental property. renting with her husband. The owners had insurance with AMI, which covered the $216,000 cost of the repairs. AMI went after the tenants for the costs and after a long legal battle in several courts it was decided that the owners could not even claim back their excess, let alone damages. It was also determined that tenants did not have to pay damages if the landlord had insurance. The decisions frustrated landlords, who felt they carried too much of the burden for damages. Former Housing Minister Nick Smith, who drafted the latest law change, summarised how it would work: “If you’re a tenant, if you’re careless, if you leave a pot on the stove that results in a house burning down, you will

lose your bond – be careful – but you won’t be bankrupted”. Garages as houses Landlords will no longer be able to rent out garages or other unconsented spaces without fear of prosecution under tenancy laws. A gap in the law meant that if tenants living in illegal dwellings wanted to take action, they were unable to take their landlord to the Tenancy Tribunal because their property was not covered by the Residential Tenancies Act. The latest law change extends tenancy laws to all buildings intended for living in, even if they are illegal. This means tenants who are housed in a garage or rundown dwelling can take their landlord to the Tenancy Tribunal, and will be able to get their rent

payments back. “This change will confirm once and for all that the Tenancy Tribunal has full jurisdiction over all rental properties and rental premises, lawful or otherwise,” said Faafoi. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s tenancy compliance team will be able to pursue landlords who rent out unconsented spaces. Meth testing The law change also sets up a new regime for meth-testing rental properties. It follows the meth-testing debacle in which hundreds of tenants were evicted and fined for meth contamination which were at harmless levels, and in some cases which they were not even responsible for.

Hospital violence continues to rise NZME Nearly 2000 hospital staff members say they were assaulted on the job last year and nurses want harsher penalties for people who attack frontline health workers. The nurses’ union said violence was now so commonplace in New Zealand hospitals that some staff felt it was part of the job and were no longer reporting it. That meant the actual number of assaults was likely to be higher, the New Zealand Nurses Organisation said. It wants law changes to impose more severe penalties on those who commit violent acts against nursing and hospital staff. Information provided to media by 14 out of 20 District Health Boards (DHBs) showed a total of 1958 assaults occurred against hospital staff in 2018 – slightly up from 1945 the year before and 1934 in 2016. Canterbury DHB’s records showed 2904 physical assaults on staff between 2015 and 2018. There were 569 recorded assaults last year.

One nurse, who spoke to the media on the condition he was not named, said he had been kneed in the groin by a patient trying to run away. He had not reported the attack. “Sometimes, physical abuse is so regular most of us are used to it and have learned to ignore it when we can.” But there were many examples of nurses and hospital staff being assaulted on the job that did make headlines. Nurses Organisation policy adviser Sue Gasquoine said both national and international evidence showed nurses were likely to be highly represented in these DHB assault figures. “NZNO members are extremely concerned about how often they are assaulted and threatened in their place of work.” She highlighted that nurses who worked in emergency departments were particularly vulnerable to assaults. Gasquoine said there were likely many more incidents of violent and aggressive behaviour that went unreported. Adequate resourcing of the whole health sector would help

The NZNO has called for a national campaign highlighting the issues of violence against nurses. It also wants legislation which imposes greater accountabilities and penalties on those found guilty of perpetrating violence and aggression towards nurses and other health workers. There is a bill before the House which would introduce new protections for first responders, such as the police and ambulance workers and firefighters. Nurses do not fall into that category but Gasquoine said the bill

should be expanded so they did. Acting Health Minister Julie Anne Genter said everyone has a right to be safe at work, including staff working on the frontlines of our health system. “The Government’s mental health package includes $8 million directly allocated for improving the response to the approximately 15,000 people who present to emergency departments needing specialist mental health support each year.” She said the Government has also announced it will increase the numbers of frontline health staff to help relieve some of the pressure.

It will set a new maximum acceptable level for contamination – not only for meth but other substances including synthetic drugs. It will clarify when and how landlords should have to test their properties. Landlords will have to tell tenants if their property has been contaminated in the past. And they cannot continue to rent out a property, or begin a new tenancy, if a contaminated house has not been cleaned up. More to come The latest law changes are part of several rounds of tenancy reform. The first, which began under the previous Government, introduced minimum standards for insulation in July. By 2021, landlords will also have to meet minimum standards for heating and ventilation. And the Government is consulting on changes which include limiting rent rises to once a year and getting rid of no-cause tenancy terminations. The Salvation Army said it wanted the tenancy reforms to go much further, because tenants were still vulnerable. “Our clients who are renting accommodation that is by nature unlawful and unsuitable for themselves or their families, such as garages and unsafe boarding houses, do not have choice, or alternatives. They only do so because it is the only place they can access, or afford.” The Sallies want wholesale reform, including more secure tenancies, tenancy advocacy services funded by unclaimed bond money, and tougher sanctions for landlords who break the law.

Akld council calls for urgent land meeting NZME Auckland Council is calling for a meeting with all parties involved with the disputed lands at Ihumatao. The land in south Auckland is owned by Fletcher Building and is slated for development, with the agreement of local iwi. But a group called SOUL – Save Our Unique Landscape – has been occupying the historic site for several years, saying it should be made a public space. Some of the protesters are mana whenua, including SOUL leader Pania Newton. She says the land was unjustly confiscated from mana whenua in 1863. But elders from local mana whenua Te Kawerau a Maki, Te Akitai Waiohua, and Tainui have sided with Fletcher in the dispute and asked protesters to leave. Councillor Cathy Casey raised an extraordinary item in the council’s Governing Body meeting yesterday calling for Mayor Phil Goff to hold a meeting between all parties. She hoped the move would avert “a situation that could escalate as Bastion Point did”.

OUR VIEW

So many job options, but yet, so few A

t some point in our lives, all of us need a job. So, it’s a good thing the Ashburton District is overflowing with them, maybe. Much has been said and written about the amount of jobs available in this district at the moment with a real worker shortage hitting home for many employers. We’ve had our now-sitting mayor splashed all over the six o’clock news speaking about the district and inviting anyone who might be interested to apply and see what can be done to get them into our region. But that was a while ago now, so how are things tracking along? Yesterday I undertook a wee

social experiment and spent an hour trawling through job adverts across a multitude of platforms and publications (no boss, I’m not looking for another job ... yet) and the results were quite surprising. Last year we were told there were more than 500 jobs available here in Mid Canterbury and the message was spread far and wide that if you come here, we’ll

find you a job somewhere. Now, it’s a little bit different. I started my search yesterday with the website SEEK – a well regarded platform in which to both advertise and find jobs. Using just the keyword Ashburton I located 18 jobs advertised. They covered a range of different occupations, from nurses through to excavation operators, but almost all required previous experience and/or qualifications to ensure a successful application. TradeMe Jobs was a little more fruitful – returning close to 150 jobs that are currently available in the Ashburton District – albeit many of them being double–ups from SEEK.

Again though, the majority called for workers with experience. However, TradeMe did offer a few more chances for people who were willing to just get into employment with some lower-end-of-the-scale jobs available. It’s an interesting situation to find ourselves in. So many options, but so few available to many people. Our agricultural sector will always need workers, whether they be casual or contract workers. But it seems to be the more urban-based roles that battle. It’s the businesses that you see repeatedly advertising for the same position – meaning that they’re either not getting what

they’re after the first time round, or they’re not getting anything at all. The Ashburton District isn’t a bad place to live. There’s actually a wee bit going for us – house prices aren’t ridiculous and there are plenty of other opportunities which should entice people to live here. But it’s got to be for the right reasons. That we’ve pretty much chopped the amount of available jobs in half in less than a year would suggest that we are making progress and no matter how much work gets done, there’s always going to be businesses looking for staff – it’s just the way of the working world.

her conviction overturned.) In 2013, Ariel Castro, the man who’d imprisoned three women in his Cleveland home, subjecting them to a decade of rapes and beatings, pleaded guilty to 937 counts in a deal to avoid the death penalty. (Castro later committed suicide in prison.) In 2017, President Donald Trump announced on Twitter that he would not “accept or allow” transgender people to serve in the US military. (After a legal battle, the Defense Department approved a new policy requiring most individuals to serve in their birth gender.) Ten years ago: Alberto Contador

Five years ago: Hamas resumed rocket fire on Israel after rejecting its offer to extend a humanitarian cease-fire, the latest setback in international efforts to negotiate an end to the Gaza war. Dr Samuel Brisbane, one of Liberia’s most high-profile doctors, died of ebola; an American physician in Liberia, Dr Kent Brantly, was reported to have caught the disease, but recovered. One year ago: Shares in Facebook plunged 19 per cent, wiping out $119 billion of the company’s Wall Street value; the plunge

followed Facebook’s warning that its revenue growth would slow significantly.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, July 26, the 207th day of 2019. There are 158 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On July 26, 2016, Hillary Clinton became the first woman to be nominated for president by a major political party at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. On this date: In 1775, the Continental Congress established a Post Office and appointed Benjamin Franklin its Postmaster-General. In 1863, Sam Houston, former president of the Republic of Texas, died in Huntsville at age 70. In 1908, US Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte ordered creation of a force of special agents that was a forerunner of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In 1925, five days after the end of the Scopes Trial in Dayton, Tennessee, prosecutor William Jennings Bryan died at age 65. (Although Bryan had won a conviction against John T. Scopes for teaching Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, the verdict was later overturned.) In 1953, Fidel Castro began his revolt against Fulgencio Batista with an unsuccessful attack on an army barracks in eastern Cuba. (Castro ousted Batista in 1959.) In 1956, the Italian liner Andrea Doria sank off New England, some 11 hours after colliding with the Swedish liner Stockholm; at least 51 people died. In 2002, the Republican-led House voted, 295-132, to create an enormous Homeland Security Department in the biggest government reorganisation in decades. In 2006, in a dramatic turnaround from her first murder trial, Andrea Yates was found not guilty by reason of insanity by a Houston jury in the bathtub drownings of her five children; she was committed to a state mental hospital. (Yates had initially been found guilty of murder, but had

mble. To walk or move at a slow, relaxed pace. Dawdle. Move slowly and idly in a particular direction. Saunter. To walk in a slow, relaxed manner. I like to do all three! I’m not sure why I prefer to take my time rather than walking briskly or even how long I have walked slowly for. As long as I can remember anyway. The only thing I can remember about walking with Mother and my two younger brothers when we were wee fellas is Mum squeezing our hands when we were misbehaving. We had a three strikes and you’re out allowance. One ‘look’ and two squeezes meant ‘the strap’ when we got home. I don’t blame mum entirely for the stripes across the butt back then or the mental scars now (dramatising for effect). Greg and Mark were little scheißhaus’s to be fair and I somehow got caught up in the wash. And

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

because I was the oldest, I wore the brunt of their antics. Perhaps I walked slowly to disengage with them for the sake of my ass when we got home. I know it’s not a typical dawdle as I still include a bit of an onthe-toes bounce. It’s nowhere near as bad as it used to be when I was a kid though. This I blame squarely on mother as she FORCED me to tap dance, unlike Greg and Mark who loved every minute of it! We were constantly reminded to be “on your toes” during the hours and hours of torture each week. As a result, I ended up walking like a chicken, that had been stuffed, before it was dead.

Whatever the reason for the ungainly gait, I think unless I’m late for something, why bother walking flat-out. Who knows what I might miss. The reason for all the talk about walking is this gem from Holland. A supermarket in the Netherlands has created a checkout line designed specifically for customers who would like to have time to enjoy a bit of chitchat while they are paying for their groceries. The Dutch grocery store Vlijimen decided that with the recent trend in the business toward self-service, many of their senior customers, as well as others who feel lonely, may be even more isolated as a result. So, they came up with the chat checkout, where people who would like some conversation can take a bit more time to talk with a friendly cashier. Research shows that chatting for just five minutes with a stranger can make people feel happier and less isolated.

I often pop out on a Sunday morning for groceries and come home to something like “I was gonna send out a search party for you, did you get lost?” from Manda. I like to dawdle around the supermarket too and I always see a few people I know, so stop for a wee yarn. In these hustle and bustle days, we could all do with slowing down a bit, getting our faces out of phones and getting some human interaction. In a town with an ageing demographic, I think it would work well. We could call it the “express-yourself” lane.

Father fears for wanted son AP The father of one of the suspects in the murders of an American woman and her Australian boyfriend as well as the death of another man said Wednesday he expects a nationwide manhunt to end in the death of his son, who is on “a suicide mission.” The grim prediction came as Canadian police said they were setting up roadblocks around the remote Manitoba town of Gillam, where the two young suspects, 19-year-old Kam McLeod and 18-year-old Bryer Schmegelsky, recently left a burnt-out vehicle they had been traveling in. Police initially called the search for McLeod and Schmegelsky a missing persons case. But on Tuesday police announced the young men were suspects in the murders of 24-year-old American Chynna Deese and 23-yearold Australian Lucas Fowler, and in the death of another unidentified man. Schmegelsky’s father, Alan Schmegelsky, said his son had a troubled upbringing and is in “very serious pain.” His son struggled through his parents’ acrimonious split in 2005 and his main influences became video games and YouTube, he said. “A normal child doesn’t travel across the country killing people. A child in some very serious pain does,” Schmegelsky told Canadian Press in an interview. Alan Schmegelsky said he expects his son will die in a confrontation with police. “He’s on a suicide mission. He wants his pain to end,” he said, breaking down into tears. Even if his son is caught, his life will be over, the father said. The separate discoveries of

On my birthday I said ‘yes’ and ‘forever’ to the love of my life,” she captioned a photo of the couple. “Chandler, close to 6 years ago I fell in love with you and every day since has been a whirlwind of adventure and true happiness. Proud mum Terri also shared her well wishes for the couple, revealing she was “so very happy, and I know Steve would be too”.

PHOTO AP three bodies and a burning car with missing occupants shook rural northern British Columbia. During the investigation of the first burnt out car last Friday, police found the body of an unidentified man roughly t 2 kilometres from the car. It’s about 500 kilometres along remote highways from the spot where Deese and Fowler were found shot dead over a week ago. Residents of Gillam are locking their doors and cars. The suspects are considered dangerous and police urged the public not to approach them. On Tuesday, police released surveillance photos of

the two in Saskatchewan. That first burned vehicle found in northern British Columbia belonged to McLeod and Schmegelsky, both of Port Alberni, British Columbia. Police had said Monday the two were traveling to Whitehorse in the Yukon to look for work and had not been in contact with their families for the past few days. Police were still working to identify the male body that was found nearby their burned-out vehicle, but said he appeared to be in his 50s or 60s. They released a sketch of the man, with a heavy build with a grey beard and grey hair, and asked for public help

in identifying him. Fowler and Deese were found shot dead along the Alaska Highway near Liard Hot Springs, British Columbia. Fowler, the son of a chief inspector with the New South Wales Police Department, was living in British Columbia and Deese was visiting him. The couple had met at a hostel in Croatia and their romance blossomed as they adventured across the US, Mexico, Peru and elsewhere, the woman’s older brother said. British Deese said the couple was on a trip to visit Canadian national parks when they were killed.

Mogadoshu bomber kills six

Heat wave threat to Notre Dame cathedral

AP A suicide bomber walked into the office of Mogadishu’s mayor and detonated explosives strapped to his waist, killing six people and badly wounding the mayor minutes after a visit from the new United Nations envoy, Somali officials said. The attack claimed by the alShabab extremist group occurred after the envoy to Somalia, James Swa, paid the mayor a courtesy call” and left the compound, an official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the media. The UN mission in Somalia in a tweet before the bombing posted photos of the smiling mayor and envoy, saying Swan had received an overview of the “challenges” in the region.

The mayor and his deputy were rushed to a hospital with critical wounds. A Somali intelligence official said the officials killed included two district commissioners, two local government directors and a senior adviser to the mayor. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the media. It was not clear how the bomber managed to enter the mayor’s office during a security meeting. Some security officials said the attacker might have co-ordinated with corrupt officials, offering them bribes for access. The security officials said the attack appeared to be a shift in tactics, as the extremists in the past had rarely managed to infiltrate heavily fortified government buildings without first detonating one or more vehicle bombs.

AP The chief architect of France’s historic monuments says he’s afraid that the heat wave sweeping Europe could cause the vaulted ceilings of fire-ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral to collapse. Dozens of sensors dotted around the 12th-century monument have shown no indication that it’s deteriorating, but architect Philippe Villeneuve is worried. Villeneuve told reporters the stone walls are still saturated with water sprayed by firefighters

during the April 15 blaze. He says they could dry too fast amid the record temperatures expected in Paris this week. He said so far the masonry is stable but the structure remains fragile. He said “what I fear is that the joints or the masonry, as they dry, lose their cohesion ... and all of sudden, the vault gives way.” Specialists are working to stabilise the cathedral’s structure before reconstruction work begins. Ppreliminary work to repair the fire damage at the Notre-Dame de Paris has already begun.

Anne Hathaway pregnant Anne Hathaway is signing up for more diaper duty. The 36-year-old actress announced on her Instagram account that she and her husband, actor and jewellery designer Adam Shulman, are expecting their second child. She posted a photo of her growing belly with the caption “It’s not for a movie...” Hathaway also went on to say that she was sending “extra love” to anyone with fertility issues because she’s experienced it, too, with both pregnancies. The new baby will join big brother, Jonathan, now three. Hathaway, who won an Oscar for her work in Les Miserables, has just wrapped filming the movie The Witches.

Surgery for Sir Michael Comedian and broadcaster Sir Michael Palin is to have surgery to fix a “leaky valve” in his heart. The Monty Python member discovered a problem with his mitral valve - a small flap that stops blood flowing the wrong way around the heart - five years ago. It had not affected his general fitness until earlier this year, he said. “Recently, though, I have felt my heart having to work harder and have been advised it’s time to have the valve repaired,” he wrote on his website. “I shall be undergoing surgery in September and should be back to normal, or rather better than normal, within three months.”

When

the unexpected happens

By Amie Paston nzme

Life can sometimes take an unexpected turn when you’re buying a house. Knowing what could happen to your deposit and sale and purchase agreement if your circumstances suddenly change and you are unable to complete the deal will leave you in a much stronger position. “There are many ‘what-ifs’ to consider when buying a home and I urge you to talk through your concerns with your lawyer or conveyancer as soon as your circumstances change,” says Real Estate Authority (REA) chief executive, Kevin Lampen-Smith. “A sale and purchase agreement is a legally binding contract between you and the seller, which becomes unconditional once the allocated time for meeting your conditions has been reached,” says Lampen-Smith. “Once the agreement for sale and purchase becomes unconditional, then you not only don’t get your deposit back, but also face the likelihood of having to purchase the property – even if you can’t afford to – or having to cancel the agreement and be sued for

any loss the seller suffers as a result of you failing to settle the sale. So, if your circumstances suddenly change, you’ll need to speak to your lawyer as soon as possible.” Getting finances sorted to buy a property isn’t easy, but understanding the different deposits when you buy a house can help. There are two different kinds of deposits – the deposit you pay when you make an offer and your bank deposit. A buyer will usually be required to pay a deposit when the sale and purchase agreement is signed by both parties. The deposit paid is often about 10 per cent of the total price you are offering – you can negotiate a different rate if you need to – and is usually held in a trust account by the real estate agent. The real estate agent takes their commission fee out of this amount when the agreement becomes unconditional and the remaining balance goes to the seller. When you arrange a home loan with a bank, you must have a certain amount of funds to use as a deposit – your bank deposit.

This deposit will more than likely be different from the amount your sale and purchase agreement states that you must pay the seller. For example, your bank may need you to have 20 per cent of the purchase price available as a bank deposit in order to secure your mortgage, even if you only have to pay the seller a 10 per cent deposit. “When drawing up a sale and purchase agreement, you can include conditions of the sale, such as a title search, valuation, LIM report, obtaining finance, obtaining insurance and builder’s inspection,” Lampen-Smith says. “Including conditions can really help – you can even negotiate your sale and purchase deposit. “If you find that you need extra time to complete any conditions of the purchase, you must speak to your lawyer or conveyancer immediately. They will negotiate with the seller through their real estate agent or lawyer or conveyancer,” Lampen-Smith says. “Any changes to the conditions

will need to be added to the sale and purchase agreement and signed off by you and the seller. If your conditions are not able to be met, eg, the building fails the property inspection, then you may be able to cancel the agreement and then your deposit will be refunded to you. “It’s very important that you speak to a lawyer before finalising your offer conditions so that they adequately protect you if something that you find out about the property during the conditional period is not to your satisfaction,” Lampen-Smith says. “There is potential that defaulting on a sale, because of finances, could affect future borrowing. Talk this through with your lawyer and it would also be wise to seek advice from a qualified financial adviser. A financial adviser may also be able to talk you through the pros and cons of income protection insurance for situations such as sickness, disability, unemployment and death. “In life, there are so many things we cannot be sure of, but it’s always worth doing your homework and seeking solid professional advice when purchasing a home.”

Negotiating isn’t that dissimilar from playing a game – it involves reading your opponent, strategising and then striking. Aussie buyer’s advocate and director of Advantage Property Frank Valentic believes if you have the right tactic and right sort of vendor, you can negotiate a healthy sum off an asking price. “We have many examples of negotiating big sums off an asking price,” says Valentic. “One recent purchase was a house for a client relocating for a lifestyle change. The house was originally listed at A $3.5m and after five months on the market, the price was dropped to A $3m. “We then pounced, as we found out the vendor had purchased another property and the listing had dropped down on the website from a feature listing to a lower listing position. We gave them the settlement they wanted and an unconditional offer of $2,551,000 so that we could secure a great discount.” Closer to home in New Zealand, smart negotiating resulted in an Auckland waterfront apartment selling for

$200,000. The leasehold apartment in the Scene one apartment at 2 Beach Road had a CV of $550,000 and had previously sold in 2002 for $311,200. The listing had described the apartment as “vacant and abandoned” and that the “Aussie owner” had wanted it “gone”. Understand your opponent Valentic says the key to a good deal “often depends on the vendor’s personal situation and how motivated they are to sell”. “If it’s a distress sale (one of five Ds) you have a much better chance of negotiating a better deal.” The five Ds that Valentic refers to are the following: Distance – If the owners of the property are located overseas or out of town or are moving away and simply need to sell the home quickly. Death – If the resident has passed away, the vendor may prefer that the sale is completed quickly without having to devote too much time to it. Debt – Vendors who are facing debt in their personal lives or business and need to sell their home in order to repay their debt.

Divorce – If neither of the couple want to stay in the home they shared together, they will sell the home and split the profit. Deadline – The vendor needs to sell by a certain date, or dovetail another settlement for a purchase. What’s the game plan? Once you have determined if there’s wiggle room in the home’s price, it’s time to strategise. Valentic has several ways to bring the price down. Show the vendor you’ve done your research – “Attach some comparable lower sales to support your offer and use another property as leverage advising the agent/vendor that you will be making an offer on this other property,” says Valentic. Show the vendor the money – “Show you are serious about the purchase by giving a 10 per cent deposit cheque with the offer.” Be accommodating on the settlement – “Give the vendor the settlement they need (long or short) and any other terms that may be favourable for them, for example a 20 per cent deposit, as they may need a deposit for their next

property. It’s also worth making it an immediate deposit release.” Make the offer unconditional – “This will make the offer as attractive as possible. It will mean it’s not subject to finance or building reports.” Keep it all formal – “Don’t make any offers by email or verbally. Show you are serious by presenting your offer on a contract with a deadline for the offer to expire.” Look at the home’s structure – “Get a building report done and provide this to the vendor to negotiate a discounted price for the works that will be required to fix the defects.” Hire a professional – “Use a buyer’s advocate/buyer’s agent or another professional who is experienced in negotiation and bidding for the best deal.”

Razor-sharp design; top technology

he all new Santa Fe is really some car, Hyundai has got just about everything perfect. This is the Fourth Generation Santa Fe and each time they have improved a design which was already very good. The passenger room, the ease to load things in the car and the handling and ride for a large family all spot on. There’s the HTrac all wheel drive system which ensures traction in all condition. As far as design and comfort for seven people Hyundai have nailed it. Hyundai New Zealand’s claim that the all-new Santa Fe is the most hi-tech SUV on the market raised a few eyebrows at its launch, after all, we’re in a world where models like the Tesla Model X and Audi Q7 exist. But the deeper you look into the Santa Fe, the more you find to impress. If you take it that all the safety features you might find in other vehicles of this type are included. Santa Fe also offers features like Safety Exit Assist, which prevents rear-seat occupants unlocking the rear doors if traffic is approaching. Or Rear Occupant Alert, which will remind you that you’ve left somebody in the rear as you walk away via your mobile phone. The link between the Santa Fe and your smart phone is a leap forward and now Hyundai leads the way. The range of features and services available to owners via the phone link to the embedded SIM in the car. Hyundai calls it AutoLink and in the Premium version (standard on the top Elite, but you can add it for $299 to the other models) there is a frankly staggering array of functions: everything from remote starting to data about your driving to “geo-fencing” the car when you’ve loaned it to somebody else. Service bookings, direct chats with Hyundai NZ via Facebook Messenger... the list goes on. Call Hyundai and book a test drive, you will be amazed.

New-age sporting luxury I

jumped at the opportunity to have time with the all electric I-Pace, which recently had won not only the 2019 World Car of the Year awards, but those for both World Green Car and Design of the Year as well! With the first sighting of such in the metal, I decided this striking-looking Jaguar SUV, with its ultra modern looks, is a must-have for those who like to be right up there with the very latest in cutting edge, zero-emissions technology. Ian Callum, Jaguar Director of Design says “ Electric vehicles offer designers unprecedented freedom to rethink the proportions, the profile and the packaging”. He has certainly done that with this variation of an SUV with its dramatic, cab-forward profile, short overhangs and width, all of which endows it with a sense of drama and definitely sets it apart from traditional SUVs. That’s just the start, for power and torque, of which there’s 294kW and 696Nm of torque respectively that comes from the combination of the state-of-the-art, 90kWh lithium-ion battery pack ( this sits low down below the cabin) and the two Jaguar designed electric motors, one of each for the front and rear axles. That maximum 696Nm of torque is instantly available on pressing the accelerator. There’s absolutely no delay, nor gear-changing of course as you rapidly and effortlessly race away from 0 to 100km/h in 4.8 seconds – and with no sounds from the electric motors. Had the two E-Type owners whom I took driving really missed the cacophony of engine sounds they are used to, Jaguar provides a selectable digital sound track to match the cars acceleration. Repeating this acceleration experience was so hard to resist, but doing so of course diminishes the range, which Jaguar says can be up to 470km (WLTP cycle). So, like all vehicles, the range is determined by where and how you drive. Range-wise EV’s work best in traffic

where only a light foot on go pedal is needed and where you also get the most benefit from the regenerative braking set in Maximum mode. This braking works as soon as you ease off the accelerator and driving in built-up areas you quickly become used to letting this system bring you to standstill without putting your foot on the brake pedal. That’s great about town, but for the SH1 and then driving some suitably winding roads Minimum regeneration was used. After all we were in a Jaguar, open spaces beckoned and the indicated range was over 300km. While 18-inch wheels are standard, the test car had the optional 22-inch wheels as well as the adaptive air-suspension package. Around town and for SH1 cruising Comfort mode was mostly selected, with Dynamic tried through some winding corners. Though the I-Pace weighs in at 2100+kg, with the battery pack mounted nice and low there’s a close to the ideal 50/50 weight distribution. The combination of this, the precise steering, lots of grip and traction from wide tyres and all-wheel-drive system means the I-Pace has the ability to nimbly slice through corners in an expected proper and precise Jaguar manner! And it maintains its excellent ride quality while doing so. All of which you enjoy from within the spacious and impressively laid out cabin, in which of course, there’s lots of leather and alloy. There’s plush but supportive and comfortable, fully electric, slightly elevated seats for all. In the rear there’s excellent space for two and if necessary a third for short distances. The rear seats split/fold 60/40 and there’s trays to discreetly stow items below them. The dash includes a large digital display with multiple information choices, which it’s best to familarise one’self with while

sitting behind the wheel with all systems operational, but the drive selector in N. There’s both touch sensitive and circular control dials for the sound system and dual zone climate control. The latter’s Smart function only heats or cools the area around each occupant, ensuring comfort with minimum energy consumption. As well there’s a thermal management system whose smart heat pump can scavenge energy from both the outside air and the vehicle’s high-voltage electronics to heat the cabin so reducing the load of the battery– even in freezing conditions. Plus there’s plenty of information displayed about the remaining battery capacity and range. The range display is personalised to each driver and can show how much energy systems such as climate control or heated seats are using – and how much range can be gained by switching them off. Of course there’s also keyless entry, a heads-up display and active cruise control The view forward is excellent but the curvaceous styling means that for reversing/parking you appreciate the wide angle rear view camera and the lots of other driver and safety technology. Because of being two metres wide, and having those artistic 22-inch wheels, care was needed to select suitable parking spaces. Lots of cabin storage space to, although some comment arose from the way the sweeping dash intrudes a little for the front passenger. With 656 litres at the rear and further

smaller spaces around the charging cables, including that under the bonnet there’s plenty of luggage space. Despite the obvious off-road credibility through the air-suspension, all-wheeldrive and the array of hill-climbing and descent technology from the Range Rover connection, tempted as I was, I didn’t venture off the bitumen. OK but what about recharging? Most owners will buy a wallbox (7kW AC) for for overnight homecharging. This costs around $1500 and takes up to 10hours for an 80 per cent charge. Using public chargers to do this (no cost still for our EA one) the 50kW DC takes 85 minutes to charge to 80 per cent. Eagle eyed readers may note that the I-Pace in the photo is not locked – for if it was the door handles would be retracted into, and flush with the body.

JAGUAR I-PACE SE ■■ Pricing: $179,990 (plus cost of optional 22-inch wheels and air-suspension. Other models from $144,990. ■■ Engine: Two electric motors. 294kW and 696Nm. ■■ Battery: 90kWh. ■■ Claimed Consumption: 21.2kWh/100km. ■■ Transmission: Single-speed auto, with allwheel-drive. ■■ Quoted Economy: 8.6L/100km ■■ Safety: 5 star NCAP - many standard safety features. ■■ Length: 4600mm. ■■ Turning Circle: 12 metres ■■ Tyres: 225/40 R22 ■■ Tows: Not rated to do this. ■■ Warranty: 5-year/150,000km plus eightyears for the battery pack.

Toyota GR Supra – more than a pure sportscar

ith a 50/50 weight distribution, a twin-scroll turbocharged 3.0 litre inline six-cylinder engine that knocks out 0-100km/h in 4.3 seconds, teamed with high performance brakes and adaptive variable suspension, the new Toyota GR Supra (GAZOO Racing) is fun on wheels. The new Toyota GR Supra follows a rich and storied history of Toyota’s development of exciting and affordable sports cars, starting in 1962 with the Sports 800 (aka the Yota-Hachi), the Celicas and Supras of the 1970s and 80s, through to the Toyota 86 and now the new Toyota GR Supra. “Supra is more than a genuine sports car. “It’s a symbol of the dramatic change the automotive industry will experience over the next decade, where the focus will shift to automotive and technology company partnerships,” says Neeraj Lala, Toyota NZ Chief Operating Officer. “With the priority of launching alternative fuel technology, launching a pure sports car is a significant milestone.” “Toyota has always provided a balanced range of motor vehicles for our customers, and the Supra is another exciting addition,” says Mr Lala. “The Toyota GR Supra has a heart and soul that comes from five decades of creating hugely enjoyable sports cars for everyday drivers.” “The Toyota GR Supra comes from a heritage of rear-wheel drive, high performing Toyota sports cars. “Toyota GAZOO Racing’s involvement in the development and the track testing of the Toyota GR Supra has resulted in a car with superb balance and handling.” “The motoring industry talks about the ‘golden ratio’ – the wheelbase-to-track ratio.

“The ideal ratio is between 1.5:1 and 1.6:1. The Toyota GR Supra’s relatively short wheelbase means it has a ratio of 1.55:1, for immaculate agility and handling.”

Styling to match performance

Dubbed “Condensed Extreme” the design style emphasises the short wheelbase, and with a long bonnet hosting the inline six-cylinder engine, high rear haunches and integrated spoiler tail, the Toyota GR Supra coupe exudes high performance rear-wheel drive sports car. It is a true two-seater, that is at home in town, on the open road or on the track. The distinctive double bubble roof adds space inside while reducing aerodynamic drag on the outside. It is DNA that was sourced directly from the legendary 2000 GT Supra. Design features on the body are done in grand sweeps with gaping air intakes in the front and slashes into the side body replicating this same design detail. While some of the intakes are covered on the production model, Supra’s Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada expects tuners to make use of them for further turbo and brake cooling on the racetrack. The Toyota GR Supra has plenty of rubber to keep it firmly planted on the road. It features 19-inch polished silver and black forged alloy wheels. The Supra has 255/35ZR19’s tyres for the front and 275/35ZR19 rear Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres. A wide colour choice will also be available to New Zealand buyers – from a cool Sub Zero White to a hot Renaissance Red and Nitro Yellow.

Balanced performance

As a thoroughbred sports car, the Toyota Supra built a reputation both as a formidable performer on the road and as an all-conquering machine on the racetrack,

dominating Japan’s top-level GT racing series. The development of the new Toyota GR Supra is true to the belief of Kiichiro Toyoda, founder of Toyota, that participation in motorsport provides the challenges of performance and durability that can directly help develop better cars, while at the same time generating interest and excitement. Toyota GAZOO Racing, which has found success at the highest levels of motorsport, was closely involved in the testing and fine tuning of the new Toyota GR Supra. The Supra has a minimum kerb weight of only 1,495kg, with the 250kW inline six, running through a fast changing 8-speed automatic transmission. Maximum torque is 500 Nm which starts at an impressively low 1600 rpm. “As the halo model for Toyota sports cars, Supra points to a new generation of driver-focused cars that will offer dynamic styling and faithful handling, even at the limits of performance,” Mr Lala says. While there is no manual transmission available, the automatic transmission with large steering wheel-mounted paddles means the driver can take control of the gear changes. The Adaptive Variable Suspension system enhances performance with instant response to changes in the road surface, adjusting the shock absorber force at each wheel to maintain a flat vehicle posture, excellent steering response and supple ride comfort. Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada, who headed the Supra’s development, said, “We set out to create a pure sports car that would attain the ultimate in driving fun. “We emphasised sensitivity performance, such as the degree to which driving could be felt to be fun, with the car and driver becoming one.” Using composites and aluminium, efforts were made to lower the centre

of gravity, resulting in a lower centre of gravity than that of the 86 which features a horizontally-opposed engine. The Toyota GR Supra has a comprehensive list of safety features including Front Collision Warning with brake function, Attentiveness Assistant, Lane Departure Warning with Steering Intervention, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Speed Limit Info.

Room for two

The interior of the GR Supra features Leather and Alcantara accented sports seats that have four-way power lumbar adjustment and heaters. For commuting or long road trips, a 12-speaker premium JBL sound system, 20GB internal music storage and Satellite Navigation is accessed via an 8.8 inch touchscreen.

Rediscovered passion

Toyota’s President Akio Toyoda is a master driver who took personal interest in the development of the Supra. He has stated clearly that he wants Toyota to put the excitement back into its cars. From the ever-popular Corolla to the Toyota GR Supra, Toyota cars are fun to drive, again. “The performance credentials of the GR Supra will ultimately flow into our regular product models, enhancing Toyota’s DNA as a company committed to bringing the excitement of driving to everyone,” Mr Lala said.

Priced for Supra fans

The Toyota GR Supra has been priced with Supra fans in mind. “Our pricing reflects our commitment to make Supra accessible to the fans,” says Mr Lala. “Customers who have placed their orders are already thinking about tuning and accessories to customise their cars.” The fifth generation Toyota GR Supra has a Toyota Driveaway Price of $99,990.

‘Competition, buyer protections key’ By Gavin Evans NZME

Competition and proper consumer protections will be essential if New Zealand is to benefit from the rapid technological developments under way globally, Commerce Commission chairwoman Anna Rawlings says. While new technologies are providing “pretty spectacular” choices in communications, online retailing and entertainment, surveys show some consumers are expressing a sense of vulnerability that their personal data may be being harvested and that their choices are somehow being manipulated, Rawlings said at the Competition Matters conference in Auckland yesterday. She said those concerns possibly reflect a wider international trend in which some people are expressing a loss of faith in markets and institutions. “In this context, competition remains especially important, as does the role of agencies like ours,” she told about 300 economists, lawyers, policymakers and executives. “The effective enforcement of competition laws, and proac-

tively tackling anti-competitive conduct, are vital to address New Zealand’s productivity,” Rawlings said. “It’s central to fostering innovation, to encouraging growth and employment and to maintaining and fostering business and consumer confidence. “And it’s increasingly important that people can see the extent to which healthy competition can contribute to the wellbeing of consumers and to the economy as a whole.” Rawlings, who has just taken over as commission chair from Mark Berry, said the organisation is not planning “dramatic” change in the way it approaches its work. But she said the organisation needs to be fit for the future and will continue to seek ways to work more closely with consumer groups. Its staff has already expanded to about 250, from 180 five years ago, and that number is likely to rise further as the commission takes on wider responsibilities. Every piece of legislation the commission polices has either been amended, or is expected to be amended, she noted.

The organisation is undertaking its first market study — into fuel retailing — and is preparing for the criminalisation of cartel behaviour taking effect in 2021. Educating firms about that change will be among the commission’s eight key focus points in the coming year, along with greater monitoring and reporting of retail telecommunications performance, setting new regulatory rules for broadband fibre services and the five-yearly price resets for electricity networks currently unde rway. Rawlings said motor vehicles remain the second-largest purchase most households make, so sales practices and their financing will remain a key focus for the commission. Online retailing and environmental claims by product makers — an issue of growing importance to consumers — will also be key focus areas. “We’re going to continue to be busy, we expect. We have more cases before the courts than ever before. We have a significant programme of work on the table and there is a lot of legislative change and we are getting fit for the future.”

The rise and rise of Britain’s new prime minister Boris Johnson has added more uncertainty to the mix for New Zealand’s trade with Britain, making swift negotiation of a free trade agreement between the two countries all the more important, special agricultural trade envoy Mike Petersen said. Johnson, the former mayor of London, was elevated to the top job this week after winning 66 per cent of the Conservative Party members’ votes to defeat Jeremy Hunt. But with a wafer-thin majority in the House of Commons, Johnson still faces a challenge to see Brexit – Britain’s exit from the European Union trading bloc – through. Johnson favours a “hard Brexit” that will take the United Kingdom completely out of the EU and out of the single market. Both New Zealand and Britain have committed to launching negotiations on a free trade agreement as soon as Britain is in a position to do so after Brexit. The United Kingdom is New Zealand’s fifth-largest trading partner, with two-way trade worth almost $6 billion. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said she had congratulated Johnson via text message and was sure he would want to discuss the trade negotiations. Ardern said New Zealand’s relationship with Britain was important and would remain so, irrespective of the outcome of Brexit. Petersen, whose role is to advocate for New Zealand’s agriculture trade interests from the perspec-

Jacinda Ardern tive of a practising farmer, told the Herald that with Johnson as prime minister the chances of a “no-deal” Brexit had risen significantly. “If a no-deal exit does happen, then that is quite problematic – not just for us but for the EU as well,” he said. “It will be disruptive, there is no doubt about that,” he said. An orderly transition would be better for New Zealand, Petersen said. “On the plus side, if there is a nodeal Brexit then yes, it will be messy, but it will increase the urgency for us to negotiate our free trade agreement with Britain. “It will allow us to immediately start negotiating with Britain, so that is a positive to be taken from a no-deal scenario,” Petersen said. For the New Zealand’s sheepmeat trade, Brexit was a potential risk to an otherwise strong export sector,

Rabobank animal proteins analyst Blake Holgate said. “US demand for sheepmeat should remain firm off the back of a prolonged period of US economic expansion which has led to increased rates of red meat consumption and more disposable income to spend on expensive products like red meat,” Holgate said. A weaker New Zealand currency was another factor anticipated to play into the hands of New Zealand sheepmeat producers. “Brexit is a further downside risk as it’s still unclear how this will play out and affect demand for New Zealand lamb over the coming 12 months,” he said in a mid-year commodities outlook. New Zealand’s wine export trade to Britain has been strong but there was risk of becoming caught in the crossfire of any trade war between Britain and the EU, NZ Winegrowers chief executive Philip Gregan said. “The interruption of trade potentially will be between Britain and the EU,” he said. “As a third party, the risk for us is that we get caught up in any difficulties that could occur.” Much depends on what happened in the leadup to the October 31 Brexit deadline, Gregan said. As a third party, the risk for us is that we get caught up in any difficulties that could occur. Britain remains an important export destination for sheepmeat, although its significance has diminished in recent years. In the 2017/18 production year, New Zealand exported more than $2b in sheep and beef products to the EU and Britain.

Getting the recipe right

Top season for trainer

NZME

Waiuku trainers Grant and Tana Shaw have experienced a fair bit of success campaigning Locally Sauced in Canterbury and they hope to replicate that form when he contests the Race Images (CHCH) 2200 at Phar Lap Raceway today. The seven-year-old son of Iffraaj won the corresponding race last year and his trainers believe he can go back-to-back after placing in the Whangarei Gold Cup (2100m) at Ruakaka last start. “He has been down there three times now and he has won probably $100,000 down there,” Grant Shaw said. “He went down for that race last year. “He has a couple of runs up here to get him ready and then we take him down there for a couple of races and bring him back home. “We will probably go back down again later on (this year).” Shaw has been pleased with Locally Sauced’s preparation and said he has settled in well to his new surroundings down south. “He travelled down on Tuesday morning and never missed a beat. “He is staying at Pam Robson’s for a couple of days, she said he got straight off the float and went straight into his feed. “We’re pretty happy with him, he’s right on target. “I galloped him myself on Saturday morning and it’s probably the best he has galloped in a long time, so I am pretty happy.” Shaw is confident heading into

This season will live long in the memory for Ardmore trainer Nicholas Bishara. Not only did he double his previous best tally of wins in a season, but he also experienced Group One glory as an owner through star three-year-old filly Verry Elleegant. “I’m extremely happy,” Bishara said. “I don’t have a big team, I have only got about seven or eight at the moment, so to get 10 wins from that pool of horses is great. “It has pretty much been a dream season. The team has fired on the homefront and as an owner I get to keep a tail hair in Verry Elleegant. It has been terrific.” The daughter of Zed began the season in Bishara’s South Auckland stable where she was undefeated in her two starts before her sale to Australia. A deal was brokered where Bishara was able to retain a share in the filly and she subsequently joined Darren Weir’s Victorian barn before linking with leading Sydney trainer Chris Waller. Under the guidance of Waller, Verry Elleegant won the Gr.2 Phar Lap Stakes (1500m) before she went on to secure Group One glory in the Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m) and Australian Oaks (2400m). Bishara was on course for her Oaks victory and said it was an unbelievable experience. “There were nearly 30,000 people on course the day she won the Oaks, the entrée for Winx (in her final race),” he said. “The crowd and the hype on race day, and just to be so dominant in a big Group One worth A$1 million, it’s just out of this world. There’s the promise of a lot more to come this spring.” Bishara is excited for what is to come with his talented filly, who trials at Warwick Farm on Friday, with the Gr.1 Cox Plate (2040m) being eyed as a possible spring target. “I believe they are leaning towards the Cox Plate, but he (Waller) has left the door wide open because things can change,” Bishara said. “I have never been to a Cox Plate in my life, so I probably won’t be missing out on any of her runs this spring because she is a once in a lifetime horse.” Bishara has received positive reports from Waller and he is looking forward to watching her first hit-out at Warwick Farm today. “She will trial up tomorrow and again on the 10th (of August) and then into the Winx Stakes. I know James (McDonald, jockey) is pumped to be riding her in the trial and for the rest of the spring.” While Bishara is looking forward to spring, he is excited about his prospects at Rotorua on Saturday where he has two strong chances, including Verry Ellegant’s full-brother Verry Flash. The four-year-old gelding has drawn barrier seven in the RSA Taumaranui Gold Cup and Bishara is confident with his charge after his third-placing over 2200m at Te Rapa last start.

today’s race and said he expects his charge to win. Locally Sauced will have one more run down south before returning home and could be joined in Canterbury by stablemate Plushenko.

“He will run on the Wednesday in the National carnival and then come home. “We’ll probably send Plushenko down for the last day at Riccarton and they will both come home together.”

Locally Sauced’s trainer Grant Shaw is very confident his charge is a winning show at Phar Lap Raceway today.

■■AUSTRALIA

Liberty Stride makes a big impression By Jonny Turner Oamaru trotter Liberty Stride stunned Australian harness racing fans with a phenomenal win from a seemingly hopeless position at Shepparton this week. The Phil Williamson-trained blueblood produced a performance that had to be seen to believed when flying home to win after trailing the field by 12 lengths with just a lap to run in a 2190m sprint. Williamson admitted the incredible effort did not come as a complete surprise. “I am not too sure how good the opposition was, but she is a very nice horse.” “She has got a lot of ability.” Liberty Stride appeared to beat a very low level of opposition in a minor handicap event. Despite that, the victory caught the attention of Australian harness racing fans, who took to social media to rave about her effort.

Matthew Williamson has a high opinion of Liberty Stride. Liberty Stride came to Australia after producing two wins from six starts in New Zealand. It was in the last of those runs, with Matthew Williamson in the sulky at Forbury Park, that the royally bred daughter of Muscle Hill and Jasmyn’s Gift showed she was above average, Williamson said. “Her last run at Forbury was very good, she won by six lengths

and Matty came back in and said she could have won by more.” “She ran time, too.” Liberty Stride did not just win at Shepparton, she absolutely bolted in. Driver Chris Alford had the 3yrold under a strong hold at the finish, following her stunning finish from last at the 400m. Williamson has taken Liberty Stride and Ultimate Stride to Vic-

toria to aim the pair at the Australasian Breeders Crown finals. Both Williamson trotters, who are owned by Emilio and Mary Rosati of Sydney, will be aimed at the all trotting meeting at Maryborough on August 4. Williamson hopes this week’s win would be enough to get Liberty Stride in to the group 1 Victoria Trotters Derby. “Hopefully she has done enough to get in the derby. “It is touch and go because there are a big number of 3-yrolds around this year.” Liberty Stride will revert back to mobile racing if she makes the derby field, which should help her get away on terms with the field. Though, Williamson is not concerned about where the horse is at with her manners. “She just panicked when another horse went past her.” “She missed away a couple of times at home because she has panicked, it is just ringcraft.”

All Blacks stats-watch The All Blacks squad to face South Africa at Westpac Stadium was named yesterday. Here’s five key stats from the 23man squad.

200

Lock Brodie Retallick will play his 77th test for the All Blacks, but more remarkedly he will bring up his 200th first class game when he takes the field on Saturday. Retallick made his first class debut for Hawke’s Bay in 2010 and brought up his 100th game for the Chiefs this season. Retallick will join former lock Ali Williams on 77 test caps for New Zealand, two behind Ian Jones who play 79.

Young rugby stars shine The Watters Cup might have been the main event at the Ashburton A&P Showgrounds on Saturday, but there was a host of other matches on during the day with numerous Mid Canterbury titles decided. The colts final played out in trying conditions between the dominant side of the season, Celtic and a strong Southern side.

Southern opened the scoring through a penalty but that was to be the last time they would trouble the scorers, with Celtic proceeding to pile on 26 unanswered points to win comfortably. An all-Mid Canterbury affair was also on offer for the under-16 title with the Mid Canterbury Alps taking on the Mid Canter-

bury Plains. In a showing of good young rugby, it was the Alps side who claimed success winning 39-17. The under 14.5 final between the same two sides resulted in a dominant victory to the Alps side who beat their Plains counterparts by 53-12. Pictured is Tuakana Kamoe looking to make a late offload in the Colts final.

Hansen gives Mo’unga first test start NZME Richie Mo’unga will start at firstfive for the All Blacks against the Springboks in Wellington on Saturday, with regular No 10 Beauden Barrett at fullback, a potentially exciting combination we probably haven’t seen the last of this year. With only four tests until the World Cup and one more before the Bledisloe Cup series, the selectors were always likely to shake things up for this match against the old enemy, which they lost last year, and they have done so; the most eye-catching decision starting their two best playmakers Mo’unga and Barrett. Mo’unga, who led the Crusaders to their third Super Rugby title in succession this year, has previously been preferred as an impact player, a man who can lift the tempo late in a test with the added benefit of allowing Barrett to shift to the back.

But with Jordie Barrett not quite progressing as perhaps the selectors would like, Damian McKenzie injured and no experienced options for the right wing, starting brother Beauden in the No 15 jersey with Ben Smith on the right and Rieko Ioane back on the left appears the safest option for the World Cup knockout matches. Mo’unga and Barrett should provide creativity on either side of the breakdown as well as a well-rounded kicking game – both of which will be necessary as the All Blacks attempt to win their third consecutive World Cup starting in September. It will be Mo’unga’s 10th test and third start and Barrett’s 75th test. They have never started a test together. There is further experimentation among the loose forwards, with Shannon Frizell at blindside flanker and Matt Todd at openside. Kieran Read is back at No 8,

with Ardie Savea, outstanding against the Pumas last weekend, not selected. The Crusaders’ front row of Joe Moody, Codie Taylor and Owen Franks slots back in after that trio and most of their franchise teammates remained in New Zealand rather than make the trip to Argentina, with Sam Whitelock back at lock and Jack Goodhue at centre alongside Sonny Bill Williams, who makes a welcome return from injury. TJ Perenara starts at halfback, with regular starter Aaron Smith on the reserves bench. Loose forward Vaea Fifita gets another chance to impress, as does Dalton Papalii both of whom are on the bench. Coach Steve Hansen will clearly want to see his forwards impose themselves a little more in this test following the difficulties his side faced in Buenos Aires. “The selectors are once again very excited with the team we’ve selected and are very much look-

ing forward to seeing them play,” Hansen said. “It’s always an exciting occasion when we play the Springboks. We have a lot of respect for them and love playing them, as they bring many challenges to the contest. “One of those challenges this week will be to not only match the physicality of the Boks, but to impose our own physicality on the game, and execute our game and our skillsets at a higher level.” All Blacks team to play the Springboks at Westpac Stadium on Saturday, kickoff 7.35pm is: 1. Joe Moody, 2. Codie Taylor, 3. Owen Franks, 4. Brodie Retallick, 5. Samuel Whitelock, 6. Shannon Frizell, 7. Matt Todd, 8. Kieran Read (c), 9. TJ Perenara, 10. Richie Mo’unga, 11. Rieko Ioane, 12. Sonny Bill Williams, 13. Jack Goodhue, 14. Ben Smith, 15. Beauden Barrett. Reserves: 16. Dane Coles, 17. Ofa Tuungafasi, 18. Angus Ta’avao, 19. Vaea Fifita, 20. Dalton Papalii, 21. Aaron Smith, 22. Anton Lienert-Brown, 23. George Bridge.

Beauden Barrett will move into the top 20 of All Blacks most capped players when he takes the field for his 75th test. He’s currently tied with Tana Umaga on 74 tests. It will be just the third test he has started in the 15 jersey – the last being in Tokyo 2013 against Japan. His first test start in 2012 against Italy in Rome was also in the 15 jersey. Barrett’s last 36 tests were all in the number 10, which will be worn by Richie Mo’unga on Saturday.

With TJ Perenara wearing the nine jersey it will be his 14th test start in his 56th appearance. Perenara has come off the bench in 42 tests. Keven Mealamu holds the record for the Alll Blacks with 55 tests off the bench. It will be Perenara’s fifth start in his last nine tests however after starting four in 2018.

Grab a yardie as Keiran Read will play his 21st test against South Africa. Of the previous 20 tests he has experienced five defeats, the most he has suffered against any team (four against Australia, two against Ireland the only other countries he’s had multiple losses). George Gregan holds the record of playing 30 tests against South Africa while Richie McCaw played 26.

One more on Read – this will be the 12th time he runs out onto Westpac Stadium in black. Although it is one of only two grounds he has experienced multiple test defeats. Read has suffered two losses in Wellington – the second test against the Lions in 2017 and last year against the Springboks. Suncorp Stadium is the only other ground where the All Blacks captain as tasted defeat twice. He has just a 37.5 per cent winning record in Brisbane with two defeats a draw and just one win across four tests. This will be his last test at Wellington.

Top 10 clashes with the old foe NZME The All Blacks and Springboks will clash for the 98th time on Saturday. We the top 10 encounters between the two great rugby rivals.

10) 2014 Rugby Championship, Ellis Park – South Africa 27, New Zealand 25 A gripping contest which showcased an emerging creative spirit from the Springboks. The home side was rampant in the first half, the All Blacks defiant in halting the onslaught in the second. In keeping with the history of these two famed rugby warriors, controversy reigned. Pat Lambie’s massive winning penalty came thanks to a contentious high tackle decision against Liam Messam. 9) 2018 Rugby Championship, Loftus Versfeld – South Africa 30, New Zealand 32 The All Blacks, very ordinary for large periods, looked dead. Down 30-13 in the final quarter, the inspired Springboks were in total control. The All Blacks had no right to win. But with one of the best responses you will ever see they somehow rallied to stun the locals. Three second-half tries to Aaron Smith, Rieko Ioane and Scott Barrett got them within touching distance of the seemingly unthinkable. Richie Mo’unga, who moments earlier got a favourable bounce with his penalty kick landing five metres out from the Boks line, then stepped up to nail the match-winning conversion. Cool as ice. 8) 2018 Rugby Championship, Westpac Stadium - New Zealand 34, South Africa 36 A brilliant game and a brilliant turnaround from the Springboks

that no-one saw coming. They gave one of the great defensive performances of the age and their ability to hang on for the final 20 minutes was sensational. The All Blacks battered away at the ruck but couldn’t score in those final five minutes despite having laid siege to the Boks’ line. 7) 1981 third test, Eden Park New Zealand 25, South Africa 22 This will always be the most controversial test in rugby history, with anti-apartheid protests against the tour reaching a head. There was violence outside the ground, and a light plane buzzed the game dropping flares and flour bombs, one of which hit All Black prop Gary Knight. (Bok captain Wynand Claassen famously enquired whether New Zealand had an air force.) Skinny Allan Hewson – whose wife boycotted the tour – broke the series deadlock with a penalty deep in added time. 6) 1956 fourth test, Eden Park - New Zealand 11, South Africa 5 A dramatic and sometimes violent test series concluded with an historic New Zealand victory. North Auckland No. 8 Peter Jones attained instant legendary status, his long-range try powering the All Blacks to a victory which sealed their first series triumph over the mighty foe. 5) 2010 Tri Nations, Soweto – New Zealand 29, South Africa 22 After a Tri Nations start that included three home wins and victory against the Wallabies in Melbourne, the true test for the 2010 All Blacks was how they would do in the white-hot atmosphere of 94,000 fans at FNB Stadium in Soweto. The All Blacks’ 14th straight win looked unlikely after Carter missed a penalty from a handy position while trailing 22-17 with

Then, with time almost up, Ma’a Nonu broke from New Zealand’s own half, ran through a tackle of John Smit, playing in his 100th test, and found Israel Dagg out wide who crossed in the 80th minute to give New Zealand a famous win. 4) 2015 World Cup semi-final, Twickenham – New Zealand 20, South Africa 18 A brilliant show of composure from the All Blacks allowed them to hold off the Springboks in a gripping World Cup semi-final in which either team could have won in the final seconds. The Springboks put in a typically defiant performance and almost, almost, got home. It was an excruciating match to watch for the All Blacks supporters in the crowd of 80,000. Memories from the final of 2011 were never far away. Carter’s composure

with the boot led the All Blacks in a strong second-half display after they trailed 12-7 at halftime. 3) 1996 second test, Loftus Versfeld - South Africa 26, New Zealand 33 This was the last mountain for the All Blacks to scale, a victory for all those who had travelled and failed to win a series in South Africa in five previous tours since 1928. This was for all those who had won the black jersey but never tasted the triumph. Several tasty tries from Jeff Wilson bounced New Zealand out of the blocks well and a Zinzan Brooke scrum special created a 21-11 lead at the break. There was also a late Zinzan Brooke dropped goal but then several minutes of heroic goalline defence for the All Blacks. Many were too exhausted to celebrate as they lay on the turf in Pretoria trying to deal with all the emotion of the historic moment.

2) 1995 World Cup final, Ellis Park – South Africa 15, New Zealand 12 Many will say it was pre-ordained that the Rainbow Nation would collect the World Cup in their first attempt. They hosted the tournament which had many twists and a number of inglorious episodes but for sheer joy, intrigue and novelty has to rate with the best in the tournament’s short history. The All Blacks were stricken by food poisoning which left many of them debilitated, the Boks double- and triple-teamed tournament-sensation Jonah Lomu as the game became an all-kick shootout. Andrew Mehrtens narrowly missed a dropped goal three minutes before referee Ed Morrison signalled extra-time. When Joel Stransky kicked a dropped goal in the second period, there was no way back for the All Blacks as Francois Pienaar, Nelson Mandela and what seemed like the entire Republic, began days of mass celebration. 1) 2013 Rugby Championship, Ellis Park – South Africa 27, New Zealand 38 One of the finest tests in rugby history led by a truly great performance from No. 8 Kieran Read (he got a perfect 10 in the Herald ratings). The Herald’s Wynne Gray wrote “no modern test has delivered as much quality and controversy”. From sin bin rulings to the All Blacks supplying an incorrect team sheet, this nine-try thriller belongs in the hall of fame. Beauden Barrett was like slippery soap in scoring the bonus-point try which clinched the title. Rugby doesn’t get better than this as the All Blacks hurtled to their first win at the ground in 16 years.

Ferns ready to face ‘very competitive’ Aussie side Black Ferns Head Coach Glenn Moore has made three changes to the successful Women’s Rugby Super Series 2019 squad, with Grace Brooker, Kilisitina Moata’ane and Jackie Patea-Fereti called up for the Laurie O’Reilly Memorial Trophy series against Australia next month. Canterbury’s Brooker has been named in the travelling squad for the first time, and Wellington’s Patea-Fereti rejoins the squad in 2019, returning from injury. Otago’s Moata’ane, although named in the Black Ferns twice previously, was ruled out on both occasions due to injury. The Black Ferns play in Perth (10 August) and Auckland (17 August) for the Laurie O’Reilly Memorial Trophy as part of double-header matches with the All Blacks for the Bledisloe Cup Test series with Australia. Moore said Patea-Fereti made a significant contribution to the side in 2018 and he was pleased to include her in the Laurie O’Reilly

Glenn Moore series now that she was back playing club rugby following an injury earlier in the year. “Jackie has a wealth of experience in the lineout, she’s versatile and brings physicality. “She was a major asset to the team last year and we’re very pleased she’s back.” Twenty-year-old Brooker has been in the wider Black Ferns squad for the past two years and

impressed at training camps and provincial level. “Grace had an outstanding season for Canterbury last year and her selection is thoroughly deserved. “She’s a huge talent and can play at midfield and fullback and we’re excited to see what she can bring at this level.” Otago’s Moata’ane is also a step closer to making her Black Ferns debut after twice being selected previously only for late injuries to prevent her from taking her place in the squad. “Kilisitina has demonstrated fantastic resilience to continue to train hard and secure her spot, despite her setbacks. “We’re looking forward to giving her an opportunity in the black jersey.” Moore said bringing in new players gave the team a chance to try new combinations and continue to build depth at test level. The Black Ferns returned to New Zealand from San Diego with

the Women’s Rugby Super Series 2019 trophy after three wins against Canada, USA and England, and a loss against France. Moore said the team had improved during the series and would need to be prepared for a very competitive Australian side. “Australia has just had a successful series against Japan and women’s rugby is going from strength to strength across the Tasman as players gain more game time at a higher level. “The Laurie O’Reilly Memorial Trophy is the equivalent of the Bledisloe Cup, it means a great deal to both sides and we’re determined to retain it,” he said. Canterbury’s Pip Love was unavailable for selection due to injury. Kelly Brazier, Theresa Fitzpatrick and Alena Saili have returned to their Black Ferns Sevens camp for preparation for the 2020 Olympic Games. There is one other uncapped player in the squad, North Harbour’s Olivia Ward-Duin, who

travelled to San Diego but didn’t take the field. The squad for the Laurie O’Reilly Memorial Trophy (number of caps in brackets) is: Forne Burkin (1) Canterbury, Luka Connor (3) Bay of Plenty, Te Kura Ngata-Aerengemate (28) Northland, Toka Natua (20)Waikato, Aleisha-Pearl Nelson (33) Auckland, Leilani Perese (9) Counties Manukau, Olivia Ward-Duin North Harbour, Eloise Blackwell (41) Auckland, Karli Faneva (2)Bay of Plenty, Joanah Ngan-Woo (2)Wellington, Jackie Patea-Fereti (17)Wellington, Charmaine Smith (25) Auckland, Les Elder (Captain, 16) Bay of Plenty, Charmaine McMenamin (22) Auckland, Marcelle Parkes (5)Wellington, Pia Tapsell (4) North Harbour, Kendra Cocksedge (Vice captain, 51) Canterbury, Arihiana Marino-Tauhinu (4)Counties Manukau, Chelsea Alley (22) Waikato, Grace Brooker Canterbury, Krysten Cottrell (6) Hawke’s Bay, Ruahei Demant (9) Auckland, Kilisitina Moata’aneOtago, Carla Hohepa (22) Waikato, Ayesha Leti-I’iga (7) Wellington, Natahlia Moors (2) Auckland, Renee Wickliffe (39) Bay of Plenty, Selica Winiata (Vice captain, (8) Manawatu

■■ NETBALL

Lincoln trial run for netballers By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s senior A rep netballers are off to Lincoln this weekend for a tournament they hope will help iron out any creases heading into their big annual challenge. With the Hanan Shield netball tournament – contested annually between Mid Canterbury, South Canterbury and North Otago – just over a week away, Mid Canterbury are joining a few of their northern neighbours for a tournament on Sunday as a warm-up to the big dance. They are set to take part in the Field Days Tournament, which usually just involved Hurunui, Selwyn, Kaikoura and North Canterbury. Mid Canterbury coach Claire Tappin said her side was “piggy-backing” on that tournament, and it would be a rare chance to get some actual game time under their belts before the Hanan Shield. A few years ago, Mid Canterbury played in tournaments in South Canterbury, North Canterbury and Lincoln as part of their Hanan Shield build-up, but over the years those tournaments had dropped away. Being able to actually get game time in, and not just rely solely on training sessions, was a great opportunity, Tappin said. The games in Lincoln will be made up of two 10-minute halves, whereas the Hanan Shield games would be an hour, but Tappin said the Lincoln games would still be an opportunity to work out their combinations and options across the court. She was excited to see what her new-look Mid Canterbury side was capable of in a game situation. “I’m really loving the work ethic I’m seeing and how open the players are to new ideas, and wanting to improve their games,” Tappin said. “There’s a definite sense of everyone wanting to be better at the end of the campaign than they were at the start, and there’s a really good vibe in the team. “Everyone is there to do a job, they are there to prove a point and

show how well they can play in a different mix.” The Mid Canterbury side featured only two returning players from last season in United’s Olivia McLennan and Southern’s Rachel Curd, and it will be captained by Methven captain Leanne Clemens, who although she didn’t play last year, had played for Mid Canterbury in the past. “She is full of experience, but she is really trying to develop her game by adding goal attack as a string to her bow for Methven, and carrying that through to Mid Canterbury as well,” Tappin said. She was joined in the squad by another senior Methven player in Anita Watson, while United had also contributed Liberty Ross, Charlotte Samson and Sophie Worsfold. Southern also had Brooke Coade, and Celtic and College had one player each in the mix, in Caitlin Adlam (Celtic) and Sammy Holden (College). Celtic’s Meg Gilbert and College’s Grace Adams had also been training with the squad and would be called into the game-day squad if needed. On Sunday, the team trained indoors at the EA Networks Centre with Mainland Beko team assistant coach Andrea Cousins on hand to give some advice to the side’s shooters, and selector and Mt Somers player Kylie Copland assisting with the mid-court, allowing experienced defender Tappin to focus on the defence end. On Tuesday, training moved outdoors in preparation for the Lincoln tournament, which would be played outside, and that was likely to be a shock to the system for the Mid Canterbury players, who had played most of their netball indoors after the development of the EA Networks Centre. They will be back indoors next week though, with the Hanan Shield being played indoors in Waimate, with defending champions North Otago the hosts. Tappin said this weekend’s trip to Lincoln wasn’t so much about the results, as it was about getting things right before heading to Waimate, where the goal would be to bring the Hanan Shield home.

Silver Ferns to get $25,000 World Cup bonus Silver Ferns sponsors have joined together to ensure the world champions receive a bonus payment for winning the 2019 Netball World Cup. Sky, ANZ, MYOB and Puma have all contributed to a payment that will see the players receive a bonus of $25,000 each. The payout comes after it was revealed shortly after the Ferns lifted the World Cup trophy in Liverpool on Monday morning that they will not be receiving any prize money from event organisers. It was a stark contrast to the $3

million the Black Caps earned for finishing runners-up in the Cricket World Cup just a week before. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was among the many who called on sponsors to consider a payout for the Ferns considering the invaluable exposure that major sponsors received from the national side’s efforts. “I wouldn’t want to call [the sponsors] out but ultimately they’re the ones that derive benefit from us being the best on the world stage,” Ardern said. “I think it should really just be

a question for us, ‘Does that feel fair’? “Because it does tend to, of course, be those sports like netball where you don’t see that same attraction of sponsorship. “You couldn’t have watched that game and say that those players weren’t deserving of recognition ... Go on, why not [give them a bonus]?” Netball NZ CEO Jennie Wyllie said it was a great feeling to be able to reward players for their extraordinary efforts in lifting the trophy for the first time in 16 years.

“We are so thankful to our wonderful partners for both their ongoing support of the Silver Ferns and the sport, and coming together to provide this financial boost in recognition of our world champions,” Wyllie said. “Netball New Zealand works tirelessly to increase the financial resourcing of the game and our players which is not an easy task. “Elite players continue to work relentlessly for their love of the game without expectations of high remuneration, but this is a huge step forward and we are very grateful to our partners, who we

could not do this without.” The lack of prize money given to the world champions has sparked a conversation about netball funding and investment in women’s sport. The subject of pay has also come up during the aftermath of the Ferns’ triumph in Liverpool. Top Silver Ferns players earn about $130,000, about a tenth of what All Blacks captain Kieran Read earns. New Zealand Rugby also receives about 10 times more from sponsors than Netball New Zealand.

■■ TARGET SHOOTING

Shield in their sights By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

South Island target shooting supremacy is set to go on the line in Oamaru this weekend. And after coming so close to coming out on top last year, those who make up the Target Shooting Mid Canterbury teams are likely to be some of the most determined shooters on the range. Saturday’s event is the pinnacle event on the southern target shooting calendar – the Andrews and Faulkner Shield match. An event administered by the South Island Target Shooting Association, it’s an annual teams shoot which is hosted in different venues each year, with this year’s hosts being North Otago and East Otago at the Waitaki Rec Centre in

Oamaru, while next year’s hosts will be Mid Canterbury. Target Shooting Mid Canterbury will have a 10-person open team, plus two emergencies – all of whom compete – as well as a five-person junior team, plus one emergency. The order of events is one 20 shot and one ten shot match, per competitor, and only one person from each team shoots in each round, meaning scores see-saw as they are updated all day. Last year, Target Shooting Mid Canterbury finished as runners-up to Marlborough in the open match (by three points) and third in the junior match, and this year both teams are keen to do better. This year’s open team is Steve

McArthur (captain), Shania Harrison-Lee, Sandy Bennett, Nick Stewart, Nina McKenzie, TJ Stewart, Emma Smith, Colin Taylor, Bill Rankin, Bryan Hunter, Keith Bonnington, and Andrew McKenzie, while the junior (under-21) team is Shania Harrison-Lee (captain), Emma Smith, Charlotte McKenzie, Amelia Swan, Jack McIntosh and Jacob Kilworth. TSMC president Nina McKenzie said it had been an immensely difficult selection process as a number of members put forward very strong reasons for selection, and both teams include debutantes at this level of competition, and some experienced campaigners. She said both teams have exciting potential.

Nearly 20 associations are likely to be represented on Saturday, everywhere from Southland through to Nelson and Marlborough. That means potentially around 200 competitors will be present and the level of competition will be the best the South Island has to offer. It will include individuals of all ages and levels, right up to those who have represented New Zealand at elite international fixtures. “In our sport, men and women compete equally and age is irrelevant – with the exception of under age specific teams – which makes for excellent competition,” McKenzie said. The North Island hold a similar match earlier in the year and the

winning team from this, and the winning team from the Andrews and Faulkner match subsequently go head-to-head in a postal competition to decide the winner of the Candyman Cup, as New Zealand Association Champions. This match heads the annual North v South match in mid-August, where South Island teams and North Island teams compete, shoulder-to-shoulder in junior, veteran, women’s, men’s, and open matches. They also double as New Zealand selection matches for competition the following day. That event is hosted by Hutt Valley in Wellington this year and many of the shooters taking part over this weekend will also travel and compete in that.

■■SHEARING

Kiwi shearing team have a scrap on their hands The New Zealand shearing steam still has the job in front of it to secure a long-sought series win over Wales in Wales after being beaten at the Royal Welsh Show in the third test of an annual four-match series.

Farmers Rowland Smith, of Maraekakaho in Hawke’s Bay, and David Buick, of Pongaroa in Northern Wairarapa, had had two comfortable wins against Welshmen Aled Jones and Lloyd Rees in the opening two tests at Cothi

and Lampeter last Friday and Saturday. But it was a different story on Wednesday up against the new Welsh combination of Richard Jones and Alun Lloyd Jones, back together just a fortnight after Rich-

ard Jones’ win in the World Championships final n France and the pair’s second placing in the teams final, beating New Zealanders Smith and Central Hawke’s Bay shearer Cam Ferguson. Alun Lloyd Jones earlier in the

day claimed his place back in the team as winner of the Champion Shearer of Wales final while Richard Jones was back as winner of the Welsh Circuit. The final test will be at the Corwen Shears, North Wales on Sunday.

■■CYCLING

‘The Alps will decide the winner’ AP Picture the final showdown in “High Noon.” But at more than a mile above sea level. With an Alpine trilogy of stages including six climbs in rarefied air, forecasts of stormy weather and only 39 seconds separating five riders determined to topple yellow jersey holder Julian Alaphilippe, the next couple of days at cycling’s marquee race have all the ingredients for an explosive and suspenseful conclusion. In the role of former marshal Will Kane, Alaphilippe. With his good looks and hearton-the-sleeve style of racing, he has become France’s national hero over the past two weeks, raising hopes that the host country will finally get its Tour champion after a 34-year wait. After claiming the race lead by storm with a couple of well-time attacks followed up with a shock victory in the race’s individual time trial, Alaphilippe surprisingly hung onto the coveted tunic in the Pyrenees last week. But the odds are firmly stacked against the Quick Step-Deceuninck rider in the Alps, a terrain with very long climbs that do not suit his punchy style. But like Marshal Kane, “Ala-Panache” – the nickname he earned this summer – is ready for a final battle. “I can take punches in the mountains,” Alaphilippe said yesterday after Matteo Trentin won Stage 17, making the most of a long breakaway that Tour favorites were happy to let go. “I’m looking forward to the Alps.” Alaphilippe was not even born when Bernard Hinault won the last of his five Tour de France titles back in 1985. This morning marked the 13th day he was wearing the yellow jersey, making him the first Frenchman to reach that tally at a single Tour since Hinault’s final win. “One extra day in yellow, this is wonderful,” Alaphilippe said. “I will fight until the end. I’m gonna give it all.” If Alaphilippe fails to defend his 1 minute, 35-second lead, another Frenchman is ready to take over in the person of Thibaut Pinot. The FDJ-Groupama leader has demonstrated in the Pyrenees that he was the best climber, taking time on all his rivals to make up for the time he lost in crosswinds earlier in the race. Pinot is among the five riders who can believe they have a chance to win the Tour on Sunday on the Champs-Elysees, alongside defending champion Geraint Thomas, Steven Kruijswijk, Egan Bernal and Emanuel Buchmann. Both Thomas and Kruijswijk, who are respectively second and third overall, were handed a blow on Wednesday, losing one team-mate each on disciplinary grounds. Race organisers said Thomas’ team-mate Luke Rowe and Tony

Frenchman Thinaut Pinot looms as a major contender as the Tour de France comes to the sharp end. Martin, who rides in support of Kruijswijk, were kicked out following an altercation. Despite the setback, the Ineos team has a double card to play with Bernal and Thomas. Bernal is a pure climber from Colombia used to riding above 2000 mettes while Thomas is the most experienced of all contenders. He knows how to win a threeweek race, and despite the minor crash he suffered on Tuesday, his morale is high. “Looking forward to it now. Big three days and a big test,” Thomas said. He added that Alaphilippe might be in for a tough time Thursday, with teams possibly riding hard to make him crack. Stage 18 to Valloire features two punishing and famed climbs, the Col d’Izoard and the Col du Galibier.

“He wasn’t great a couple of days ago. “He’s been racing really well all race, so you’d think that he’d be starting to get tired now,” Thomas said. “So, yeah, I guess teams will be thinking to try and make it hard all day.” On paper, Stages 19 and 20 look even more difficult, with the Iseran mountain and two consecutive summit finishes. At 2770 metres, the Iseran is a Tour de France giant and one of the highest road passes in Europe where thin air makes things harder. “Every day is going to be important,” Thomas said. For Trentin and other already exhausted riders with no ambition in the general classification, the last stage that really mattered is now behind them. And the Italian rider made the

most of it to post a third career stage win at the Tour. With the peloton happy to the let an early breakaway develop at the start of the hilly, 200-kilometre trek to Gap, Trentin rode at the front for most of the stage and moved clear of the leading group about 14 kilometres from the finish at the bottom of the Col de la Sentinelle. He was first at the summit and went all out in the downhill leading to Gap. Kasper Asgreen was second, 37 seconds behind, with Olympic champion Greg Van Avermaet completing the podium. Already thinking about the Alps, Alaphilippe and his rivals crossed more than 20 minutes behind. “Everybody is exhausted, it was the final day for saving strength,” Alaphilippe said. “The trilogy in the Alps will decide the winner.”

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): No one is the same person after a week of living. The changes may be subtle, but subtleties add up. No matter how long or thoroughly you know a person, you still have to do updates. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): If you’re not a professional storyteller, a story doesn’t have to have an ending. In fact, your friends and fans want the play-by-play. They want to be in on it and waiting along with you to see what happens. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): When people are in your territory, you can’t totally relax. It’s not a problem if you’re supposed to be alert, but everyone needs a place to totally unwind. Claim your space. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Thinking there is only one right answer, way of doing things, etc., is a great way to put too much pressure on the situation and watch it eventually implode. Open it up. There are many right options. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Wish lists are fun. Make yours. Then expand it to include every requirement you have of life. You’ll find that some of these are a bit much, but realising this lets you laugh at yourself, let go and heal a little. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): You’re not one to keep tabs on every interaction, but you do have a good sense of when you’re helping someone and when the person is helping you. It helps you maintain a healthy, pleasant social balance. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Even though at times you’ve felt like a pawn in someone else’s game of life, you’ve always been a royal in your own. And you can keep it that way even while serving someone today. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Don’t wait for a storm warning to create your emotional shelter. Protection is part of every life. The same storms capable of destruction are things of majesty to those watching from shelter. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ve been known to leave your heart with various people in various places. Like a smartphone, your heart has a decent location system. If necessary, you can locate and promptly retrieve it. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Justice wins in the end, right? You want to believe this, and yet it would be wrong to relax in good faith that life does, too. As a crusader for justice, it’s your responsibility to guide it along. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Stars favour you slipping into project management mode. Write down all that needs doing. Sort it. Then schedule it. The happiest part of your day will be the moment right after this planning session. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Your story isn’t a static piece of history. Like all of history, the tales get rewritten as distance and context evolve. Whichever way you frame your past, others will see it the same way you do.

WORLD CHAMP

By Matt Markham

matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury has a new world champion – his name, Edmund Fordyce. The Methven teenager, who plays out of the Waireka Club in Ashburton, won the Under-21 Golf Croquet World Championship yesterday morning (NZ time) at the prestigious Nottingham Croquet Club in England. The tournament started last weekend and ran through until the early hours of yesterday morning, where the championships wrapped up with various finals. Fordyce had to do it the hard way to become world champion. He entered the knockout stage of the tournament as the top qualifier in his section. He squared off with fellow Mid Cantabrian, Kaleb Small in the first round, winning the first of three games, before Small claimed the second – becoming the first player to take a game of Fordyce in the championships. Fordyce then went onto win the third and the match. He then beat Mohamed Rashad from India in straight games in the quarter-finals before a straight games win in the semi-final against Euan Burridge of England. That set up a final with another Englishman in James Galpin. Things didn’t go to plan for the Kiwi early doors as he dropped the first two games in a best of five play-off. But with steely nerves and some good old fashioned grit, he worked his way back into the match to win the third, fourth and fifth games and become the world champion. The former Mt Hutt College student’s success capped off an incredible championships for New Zealand players, particularly the quartet of players who hail from Mid Canterbury. All four of the locals were in the hunt for major prizes over the course of the championship, and heading into the last day. Christopher Spittal was the winner of the Bowl division of the championships while Logan McCorkindale was the runner-up in the plate. Mid Canterbury’s other player, Kaleb Small was put out of the competition by Spittall in the semi-final stage of the bowl division. For Fordyce, Small and Spittal, the championships were not a new venture – they’d all attended before, but Fordyce told the Guardian earlier in the week that although he’s attended two championships before, he’d never quite achieved the goals he had set for himself. So it’s safe to say that this time around, it’s mission accomplished.

Methven’s Edmund Fordyce is now a world croquet champion.
