THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY

Landslide for Nats Mid Canterbury’s incumbent MPs dealt crushing defeats on their rivals in a general election that saw their party sweep to power with enough seats to govern alone.

The National Party won its third term in office on Saturday and, before special votes were counted, looked set to have 61 seats in a 121 seat Parliament.

Party leader John Key yesterday promised National would not be complacent after its landslide win, which made it the first party in the history of MMP in New Zealand to have the numbers to govern alone.

Meanwhile, Labour Party leader David Cunliffe faced the possibility of a leadership challenge after the historic defeat that saw his party lose three seats from what it had before the election.

His party’s Rangitata candidate, Steve Gibson, yesterday said he did not support Mr Cunliffe who, early in the campaign, distanced himself from Mr Gibson after the candidate levelled an anti-Semitic slur at Mr Key. The threat of recriminations followed a landslide that was writ-large in the Mid Canter-

bury seats, where both National Party candidates were re-elected with sizeable majorities.

Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew received 21,883 votes to secure a 13,152 majority over her nearest rival, Mr Gibson. The margin was more than twice that of the 2011 election.

In Selwyn, which includes the north-east section of the old Rangitata electorate, Amy Adams received 22,182 votes 18,665 more than Green Party candidate Peter Hill.

Mrs Goodhew watched the results come in with 100 others, including family, at Phar Lap Raceway in Timaru. She described the feeling as “magic”.

Before leaving to clean up the function centre yesterday, she said it was “fantastic to have a mandate to continue” her party’s programme.

Mrs Adams celebrated at the Kirwee Community Hall, also with about 100 people.

“I’m new to many of the people in the Ashburton District part of the electorate and we worked pretty hard to make sure they knew me and I’m very delighted, that’s incredibly humbling,” she said.

Rangitata National MP Jo Goodhew thanks supporters on election night, with husband Mark and daughters Harriet (left) and Emily. PM John Key celebrates the landslide victory.

Five things that may interest you

Lomu, Dagg may be in trouble All Black legend Jonah Lomu and current All Black Israel Dagg (below) could find themselves in trouble with the Electoral Commission over the coming days. Lomu and Dagg both broke the law by plugging National on their Twitter accounts on Saturday. Publishing anything that could potentially influence another voter is strictly prohibited on election day until voting is closed. The ban extends to social media, and while encouraging others to vote is fine, no specific party can be mentioned. Individuals can be fined up to $20,000 for breaching the rule. Lomu, with nearly 48,000 followers, tweeted National Party leader John Key: “All the best for Tonight. Get in there everyone your last chance to vote and grow NZ. Go ‘National’.” Dagg, with more than 83,000 followers, voted for the first time on Saturday and sent this message out: “Just voted for @ johnkeypm and the National party all the best for tonight #blueallday #National.”

Lomu’s tweet is still there to be seen, but Dagg has taken his down and replaced it with an apology saying he “doesn’t read the fineprint”.

Second leak of hacked celebrity pics More nude celebrity photos, including reality star Kim Kardashian, have circulated on social media, in what appears to be the second massive hacking-related leak in less than a month. The pictures, which also included nude shots of actress Vanessa Hudgens and US soccer star Hope Solo, appeared briefly on 4chan and Reddit, before being removed, celebrity gossip site TMZ has reported. BuzzFeed said that personal videos and photos belonging to actresses Aubrey Plaza, Mary-Kate Olsen, Hayden Panettiere and Leelee Sobieski were posted, in addition to previously unseen pictures of Jennifer Lawrence.

Monroe negative for sale A negative from Marilyn Monroe’s first professional photo shoot is going under the hammer. At the time the image was captured, the future film star was the unknown Norma Jeane Baker, a 20-yearold factory girl dreaming of becoming a model. The negative - and most crucially, the copyright to the image - will be sold at a British auction house in Wiltshire and is estimated to fetch between £5000 ($A9,127) and £8000. Back in 1946, Norma Jeane was married and working at a munitions factory when a passing military government photographer told her she could be a model, so she approached a Hollywood modelling agency, Blue Book.

Young aspiring photographer Joseph Jasgur was assigned to get her first portfolio and took her to Zuma beach in Malibu for a few pictures, which were later presented to Ben Lyon, casting director at 20th Century Fox.

Toast to Oktoberfest Germany’s world-famous Oktoberfest has kicked off with the traditional tapping of the first barrel of beer, as millions of revellers are set to soak up the frothy atmosphere in the 16-day annual extravaganza. With the cry of “O’zapft is” (“The keg is tapped”), the amber fluid officially began to flow at noon on Saturday after Munich’s mayor, Dieter Reiter, with due pomp and ceremony, took a mallet and in four swings breached the 200-litre barrel. The first litre-size mug, the “Mass”, went to the head of the Bavaria regional government, Horst Seehofer.

Fourteen giant tents set up in the centre of Munich filled up quickly with people eager to imbibe after watching the parade of the brewers through the city streets under rainy weather. At the festival site on the Wiesn fairgrounds thousands of serving staff carry millions of “Mass” glasses of beer from one of six historic Munich breweries, to punters seated at long tables in the tents.

Gibson no longer supports leader

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Colourful Rangitata Labour candidate Steve Gibson is no longer supporting the party’s leader, and may auction off his Labour tee-shirt.

“I don’t believe David Cunliffe is the future for the Labour Party, I don’t believe the Labour Party is the future for the Labour Party at the moment,” Mr Gibson said yesterday.

Mr Gibson received 8731 candidate votes, or 26 per cent, in the Rangitata electorate, compared to 2011 candidate Julian Blanchard receiving 13,043 votes, or 36 per cent. His failure to get more votes helped National’s Jo Goodhew double her majority.

Mr Gibson, who during the campaign criticised his party for a “soft-arse softly softly” campaign approach, said yesterday he agreed with former party leader David Shearer in describing the nationwide results, where Labour picked up just 24.7 per cent of the party vote, as tragic.

He said he was also disappointed that Mr Cunliffe had not stood up for him when he was criticised for naïve slip-ups such as using the term Shylock.

“It’s hard to get people to vote for me when David Cunliffe tells people I have no future in the Labour Party,” Mr Gibson said. He believed Mr Cunliffe had given in to “wowser news media” in stating such.

Mr Gibson did not know who might be a good leader for the party from within caucus, but suggested Christchurch East’s Poto Williams had a good background in social services and other areas.

He would remain a member of the Labour Party, and thanked party members and voters who had supported him. He was not sure whether he would continue in politics.

“I might put (the word) Shylock on the back of my Labour tee-shirt and auction it off on Trade Me, I might get some recompense for the expense of becoming a candidate,” he joked.

Wait and see for MPs

Federated Farmers are anticipating Resource Management Act reforms following National’s clear election victory.

President William Rolleston said yesterday rural electoral majorities were “staggering”, especially in rural Canterbury areas.

“These communities clearly want to control their own destiny,” Dr Rolleston said.

“More pointedly, the electorate have again rejected water taxes and a Capital Gains Tax. “The electorate have also sent a message to political parties that New Zealand’s best response to global climate change is to lead the world on carbon efficiency, instead of just blindly slashing production.”

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Returning large majorities will not help Mid Canterbury’s two MPs climb the ranks of Parliament, political expert Dr Bryce Edwards says.

National’s Jo Goodhew in Rangitata and Amy Adams in Selwyn gathered huge majorities and their party received enough votes to govern alone in Saturday’s election. Their leader Prime Minister John Key will be putting his mind to forming his new Cabinet in coming days.

Mrs Goodhew in particular came out a winner, more than doubling the majority she enjoyed after the 2011 election.

Ranked at 21 just outside Cabinet, she has never made it a secret that she would like a Cabinet post.

“But the PM has a huge team of very talented people to choose from, so I’m going to wait and see,” Mrs Goodhew said yesterday.

Mrs Adams said she would similarly grab any opportunities given to her with both hands, but it was “entirely the Prime Minister’s call” as to whether she would move up

from her ranking at number 15.

Dr Edwards at the University of Otago said yesterday there was not a correlation between having a strong majority “ in a safe seat” and ministerial

careers. Both Mrs Goodnew and Mrs Adams were seen as “safe pairs of hands” but were not necessarily extraordinary performers at a national level.

There was however a lack of

women within Cabinet.

“And that’s on their side, because National desperately need to modernise and show that it’s diverse enough,” Dr Edwards said.

300,000 special votes still to be counted Just under 300,000 special votes are still to be counted before the election result is official, prolonging the anxiety for some in marginal seats.

Candidates in just three electorates have a margin of fewer than 1000 votes – Labour’s Trevor Mallard in Hutt South, National’s Nikki Kaye in Auckland Central and United Future’s Peter Dunne in Ohariu.

In Hutt South, only 378 votes separate Labour frontrunner Mallard from National’s Christopher Bishop.

Mr Bishop called Mr Mallard to congratulate him on Saturday night – but not quite to concede until all the votes had been counted.

At 49 on National’s party list, Mr Bishop will enter Parliament, regardless of the result

Reforms predicted

in Hutt South. But Mr Mallard will no longer be an MP if he loses the seat, having no place on Labour’s list.

Mr Dunne, who is 930 votes ahead of Labour’s Virginia Andersen in Ohariu, and Ms Kaye, who is leading Labour’s Jacinda Ardern by 647 votes, are unlikely to be toppled in the official result.

But in Te Tai Tokerau, Ma-

na’s Hone Harawira has apparently still not conceded to Labour’s Kelvin Davis, despite Mr Davis holding a 1119 vote lead.

Political scientist Dr Bryce Edwards said Mr Harawira will probably benefit from special votes this year but it was unlikely the gap would close enough to change the result. “It does seem like he’s grasping at a very thin chance.” - APNZ

2.5 million people vote Just over 77 per cent of voters took to the ballot boxes at the weekend – a small increase in turnout from the last election.

More than 2.4 million people voted in this year’s election, representing a 77.04 per cent turnout, preliminary figures from the Electoral Commission show.

This includes special votes, which make up 12.2 per cent of the total votes cast.

This year’s turnout is up from the 2011 election, when turnout of enrolled voters was an historically low 74.21 per cent.

Political scientist Bryce Edwards said the advanced voting options had also helped to increase the turnout this year, with 717,000 advance votes cast – nearly a third of all those who voted, and double the advance votes in 2011.

■ 2014 ELECTION

Business as usual for Key

By Patrice Dougan John Key says the National Party won’t become complacent after winning an historic victory at the polls.

At a press conference yesterday, Mr Key said he would not follow the landslide win with radical change.

“I don’t intend to take the party veering off to the right. We’ve held the centre ground for the last six years.

“It’s incredibly important that National stays connected with its supporters and connected with the New Zealand public.”

He said Internet-Mana’s “Moment of Truth” had hurt the opposition parties.

“I do think that a lot of middle New Zealand sort of rejected their notion of a group of foreigners looking at having a very heavy influence on an election that is New Zealand’s election.”

A majority vote of 48.1 per cent sees Prime Minister John Key’s party with enough seats to govern alone - something which has not happened since MMP was introduced in 1996.

Provisional results give National 61 seats in Parliament, while Labour will lose three seats in its lowest electoral result since 1992, polling at 24.7 per cent.

Labour leader David Cunliffe said yesterday he wanted to continue as leader of the party, but would call for a vote on the leadership and contest his job again.

“The feedback I’ve had widely across the party has been that I have the vision and have proven myself on the campaign trail.”

No other MPs had told him they intended to challenge, he said, but Grant Robertson and David Shearer would not rule it out publicly.

Mr Cunliffe blamed Internet Party founder Kim Dotcom for creating a spectacle during the campaign, depriving opposition parties of airtime and splitting the left vote, calling his actions “reprehensible”. However, he also admitted that Labour should not have turned down an offer from the Greens to form a more unified opposition.

HOW THEY POLLED ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

National: 48.06 per cent. Seats: 61 Labour: 24.69 per cent. Seats: 32 Green: 10.02 per cent. Seats: 13 NZ First: 8.85 per cent. Seats: 11 Maori Party: 1.29 per cent. Seats: 2 Act: 0.69 per cent. Seats: 1 Internet-Mana: 1.26 per cent. Seats: 0 United Future: 0.22 per cent. Seats: 1 Conservative: 4.12 per cent. Seats: 0

Green Party co-leader Metiria Turei spoke positively of the party’s 10 per cent vote share, saying it had “solidified our support and strengthened our vision within a swing to the right”.

New Zealand First leader Winston Peters said his party, which takes 11 MPs into parliament, would aim to be the “leading opposition party”, claiming to have both “the experience and the record”.

Act Party leader Jamie Whyte, who failed to secure a seat in Parliament, has admitted his position as party leader is uncertain, and the party brand “tarnished” after polling at just 0.7 per cent.

Conservative Party leader Colin Craig said he had “mixed feelings” about his party’s results, but vowed to continue his bid to get to Parliament.

Maori Party leader Te Ururoa Flavell said, despite not reaching the party goal of securing all Maori seats, he had “some serious building blocks” to work with.

“We’re looking forward to building on the momentum rather than just going back three years again.”

Internet Party leader Laila Harre blamed the left for failing to unite and work strategically to secure a win, and admitted that the gamble of working with Mana had not worked out.

Mana Party leader Hone Harawira, who lost his Te Tai Tokerau seat to Labour, has not spoken publicly.

‘Life sucked out of campaign’ The “bizarre spectacle” of Kim Dotcom and the timing of the Dirty Politics publication sucked the life out of Labour’s campaign, David Cunliffe says.

Cunliffe said yesterday it was clear New Zealanders had voted for stability, and he credited National for running a slick, well-funded, well-resourced campaign.

But the Labour leader also said there was no doubt Dotcom’s “Moment of Truth” event last Monday “simply sucked airtime and resources” away from both Labour and the Greens.

Cunliffe said issues raised in Dirty Politics would resurface in coming months, and it would take time for the public to digest the book’s allegations. “You can’t do all of that in a week, in a campaign.”

He said even when National Party el-

ements were under fire for allegations such as abusing power in collusion with right-wing bloggers, Labour couldn’t get a word in.

Although Cunliffe castigated Dotcom, one of his MPs appeared to be a beneficiary of anti-Dotcom sentiment.

Among Labour MPs who won Maori seats was Kelvin Davis, who defeated Internet-Mana’s Hone Harawira in the Te Tai Tokerau seat. As a result, the Dotcom-bankrolled party won no seats in Parliament.

Dotcom yesterday blamed himself for the loss, saying his brand was “toxic”.

“He should have put the money up and got out,” former Alliance MP Willie Jackson told TV One’s Marae yesterday, discussing Dotcom’s influence on Internet-Mana.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Synthetic high sales signed off

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

It might not be perfect in the eyes of some councillors but Ashburton’s local approved products policy (LAPP) is now part of the Ashburton District Council’s by-laws.

The policy spells out where products such as synthetic cannabis can be sold in the Ashburton District once they’ve been cleared by the Ministry of Health as non health-harming.

Sales will be limited to a narrow retail band bounded by the railway line and Cass Street

between Havelock and Moore streets. Retail outlets must be no closer than 50 metres.

A draft policy was developed by a working group and was later work shopped by the council.

It was put out for consultation and attracted a number of submissions. Most submitters were concerned that the sales boundaries did not allow a sufficient gap between outlets and schools. In its original form the policy also stated those outlets should be at least 100 metres apart.

When the LAPP came up for sign off by the council last week, councillor Rod Beavan said the way in which the policy had been changed opened the door for challenges in the Environment Court.

“The outcome of this has been disappointing,” he said.

“We reduced the sales area because of the schools’ concerns but we’ve also initiated changes that no submitter requested. We’ve ended up now with an area which could allow up to seven outlets in town.”

Under the 100 metre separa-

tion rule there could probably have been no more than two.

In terms of good planning, what the community had ended up with its LAPP was ‘nonsensical’, Mr Beavan said.

“As a result of our decision we have a situation where all residents west of the West Street, if they want to purchase those so-called legal, unharmful products, they’ll have to cross a state highway and a railway line.”

Mr Beavan and councillor Donna Favel voted against the policy.

■ LEARN TO SWIM

Teaching swimming essentials Learning to swim is a vital part of being a Kiwi so Ashburton swim coach co-ordinator Stacey Hoets and her trusty team of tutors are ready and waiting to teach kids the importance of water safety.

Ashburton Community Pool is filling up the spots in their learn to swim programmes fast after having a bit of a lull during term three, this slow period will soon be replaced with a frantic one.

“We have had a few drop out over term three due to calving and other reasons, we see this drop-off every year,” Ms Hoets said.

In brief Penalty disappoints The penalty handed down to a Temuka man, who caught trout and salmon in a hydro canal near Twizel to sell illegally, has disappointed the Central South Island Fish and Game Council.

The Timaru District Court sentence on Thursday of 100 hours’ community service on Hayden Don, 33, sickness beneficiary, was too lenient for what was believed to be the first case of its kind, and would not deter others, council chief executive Jay Graybill said.

Officer praised A recently-graduated police officer has been praised for his bravery after rescuing a woman who jumped 15m from a bridge into the Waikato River. The incident at the Cobham Drive bridge in Hamilton began about 11.30pm on Friday night when a woman was seen standing on the bridge’s railings. While talking to police and ambulance staff, the woman jumped 15 metres into the water below. The constable swam out to reach the woman and pulled her back to the river bank, police said.

Both were rescued by the police boat.

■ RENAL TRANSPLANTATION SERVICE

Ashburton Guardian

■ CHERTSEY HALL

Former local heads transplant service

By ToNi williamS

toni.w@theguardian.co.nz

A former Hinds School pupil will head the Government’s new National Renal Transplantation Service.

Canterbury nephrologist Nick Cross, son of Ashburton’s Marilyn and Steve Cross, has been appointed Clinical Director of the National Renal Transplantation Service.

Dr Cross did his primary schooling in Mid Canterbury and his secondary schooling in Christchurch.

He looked forward to the challenge of heading the service which he said would not have been possible without the support of his colleagues.

“I’m very grateful to my colleagues around the country for their support and encouragement but particularly to the team here in Canterbury. Dr John Irvine has stepped into my former role in Canterbury as Clinical Director of Nephrology, which has allowed me to commit to this national role.”

Included in the new service were donor liaison co-ordinators at three transplanting

Dr Nick Cross

centres and in the seven larger renal services throughout the country.

Dr Cross said the co-ordinators would support donors and recipients throughout the transplantation process, from providing education to interested potential donors to organising blood tests and carrying out pre-surgery preparation.

There was also funding to provide increased support for the Paired Kidney Exchange initiative, which allowed donor

and recipient pairs who are not compatible with each other to be listed for a possible swap with other pairs.

Dr Cross said a lot of work had gone into developing the service and he appreciated the Government’s backing of an additional $4 million to increase live kidney donor transplantations over the next few years.

“It’s been a carefully thoughtout process with involvement from the Ministry of Health and other interested groups, DHBs and clinicians. It’s really been a work in progress for probably the last two to three years,” he said.

Canterbury had relatively high live donor rates compared with the rest of the country, with an average of 10-15 per year, but some DHBs had considerably lower numbers in relation to their population.

Dr Cross hoped the service would eventually also focus on improving deceased donor rates, which had remained relatively low in New Zealand for the past decade at about 40 a year.

There were drinks and nibbles at the Seniors’ Centre on Friday night as the Ashburton County Lions Club launched their 2015 fundraising calendar.

Twelve local artists’ work feature and some of those artists were at the launch and described their work. The 12 artists included in the calendar are Rachel Jemmett, Jenny Thompson, Tessa Watson, Tina Yeat-

man, George Coppard, Karen Smith, Debbie Lambert, Ngaio McKee, Barbara Jaine, Mark McDonald, Brownyn Shimmin and Sue Simpson.

Ashburton Country Lions Club project committee codirector Helen Allen said the club had been fortunate to get the support of 11 businesses to help with costs of the calendar.

While proceeds from their

sale will predominately go to Age Concern Ashburton, other Ashburton charities will also benefit.

The calendar will be available for purchase at the Ashburton County Lions Club stall at Boulevard Day today, and afterwards from Todds of Ashburton on East Street and Latitude Media office on Tancred Street. Calendars cost $15.

Like most of its rural counterparts, the Chertsey Hall today spends most of its life empty and unused.

It wasn’t always that way, but 100 years after it was built, the hall serves a very different community with very different needs.

In 1914 when the hall opened, Chertsey had a growing population, the Canterbury Petroleum Company had started drilling for oil in the area and there were plans to build a railway station in the rural village.

The hall was built by Arthur Thomas, a local businessman who donated 25 pounds towards the project. When it was completed the hall provided a great boost to the village’s social life allowing dances and other social events to relocate from the school or the nearby grain store.

Originally the hall was the property of the local Oddfellows group and was sold to the community in 1924, with the land and the building valued at 486 pounds. It took the community almost 20 years to pay the mortgage off through fundraising.

Over the years the hall has

been upgraded and renovated, with a new kitchen installed in 1950 and an extension added in 1960.

During its life the hall has been well maintained and has served the community well although community use is dwindling. It’s hey days are recalled in photos hanging on its walls and these will be added to during the centennial celebrations.

Marion Harrison, a longserving committee member, is leading the centennial celebrations.

Five of the women on the current committee can chalk up a total of 97 years service between them, Mrs Harrison said.

The centennial celebrations will be held at 2pm on September 28 and the social gathering will include an afternoon tea, speeches, a cake cutting and there will be plenty of time for reminiscing.

Chertsey was officially surveyed and named in 1877 after the town of the same name in England. Descendents of its settlers – Wilkinsons, Doigs and Coplands – are still in the area and when the hall’s 100th birthday is celebrated on September 28, representatives of those families will be there.

OUR VIEW

Labour be warned Stu Oldham

EDITOR

H

owever you look at it, the election was nothing short of an emphatic routing of the Labour-led left by a resurgent, National-dominated right. It was clear by late Saturday night that the National Party could govern alone and the Labour Party had slumped to its second-worst result.

In Rangitata, Jo Goodhew doubled her majority over a Labour candidate who was cut-off by his leader for decrying as soft his party’s campaign.

In Selwyn, Amy Adams’ majority was reinforced as insurmountable and the all-but invisible Labour candidate polled third behind the Greens.

Christchurch voted National and in Dunedin, high-profile Labour incumbents lost the party vote to National.

In electorate after electorate, many Labour voters supported their candidate but not their party. They liked the players but not the team.

Pundits said there had been a swing to the right. However, the electorate and party vote say the swing was, on the main, to National. National will talk to the Maori Party, Act and United Future about the new government. There will be co-operation, but no kingmaker.

This will please voters who want continued stability and a government with one clear direction. It will be the government they voted for.

In a supreme irony, it will also be the government Kim Dotcom reinforced in a campaign that drowned out National’s opposition. Labour has started to blame Dotcom for ruining the pre-election script but there will be blame elsewhere as it prepares for another term in opposition.

There may be calls for David Cunliffe’s head but the party should also take a hard look at what it has become, and what it wants to be. It needs to be more representative of those it would represent and it needs to develop – and support – strong candidates in the regions.

It also needs to see where it lost votes and what it can do to win back the political centre lost to John Key’s broad appeal.

Politics students are taught that parties that move away from the centre move closer to oblivion. National’s majorities in Mid Canterbury should show Labour what oblivion looks like.

YOUR VIEW Spying and militancy In response to the cowardly attack on your reporter, Erin Tasker, by a correspondent who requested his/her name be withheld, they would be well advised to take careful note of the recent attempt, by a militant group, to publicly murder a random Australian citizen.

I have no doubt this plot was foiled by some form of surveillance, to which your correspondent would almost certainly be opposed. If we all bury our heads in the sand and refuse to recognise that terrorism is not only a thing which can happen in someone else’s country, then we are destined to be caught up in it eventually.

The world is not the benign and innocent place the more naive among us seem to believe it is. Democracy is a treasure which must be guarded jealously, hamstringing our security forces by refusing them the resources they require to counter the threat of international and domestic terrorism, is risking throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Mayoral salary Can the mayor please confirm he has, or is, to receive a pay increase of 3.3 per cent, courtesy of the Rumuneration Authority, and if so, whether he intends too, or indeed, has accepted it?

Ed Gates Mayor Angus McKay responds: The Remuneration

Authority sets out the remuneration for elected members.

In June this year I received an increase of 3.2% ($3000) taking my salary to $95,450. The increase, determined by the Authority, took effect on July 1.

Correction: It was incorrectly reported in the Guardian in June that the mayor’s salary remained unchanged at $95,450.

Gallery blowout Mr Dalziel’s investigation will need to inform the community of its parameters including how far back it will seek answers, whether members of the public will be sought to provide expert evidence and of course who’s paying for it.

It should highlight Ashburton Trust’s impact on this project, in particular, the time constraints placed on the project which centred round their “boutique” hotel being constructed in time for the 2011 rugby world cup.

In essence, Ashburton Trust’s involvement took the public’s involvement out of the equation with regards to input and sense of ownership and while the alarm bells were ringing, elected representatives, including the mayor, failed to act.

Therefore given this situation, possible legal action concerning parking issues and an ongoing investigation by the Ombudsman’s office, into conflicts of interest, Mr McKay should resign the chair and remove him self from office. Also, as chair of the finance com-

mittee, Cr Brown should be removed from this position.

Staff employees, contract manager John Rooney and senior finance officer Paul Brake should be stood down during the investigation because given the complexity of the project, that it was being built on the edge of a residential zone and there was considerable public disquiet, allowing a contract to be released with a 5 per cent contingency, is truly bizarre.

While the community was consulted on a project of $6.6 million it was not consulted on a project of $9.7m, at no time where rate payers notified or formally consulted on with regards to an increase or cost overruns and therefore whether ratepayers will pick up the tab, is presumptive.

Finally, Clr Totty’s desire to place blame on residents exercising their legal rights under the RMA, is both pitiful and insulting, Guardian 19/9.

Ed Gates Well, haven’t the roosters come home to roost on this issue.

I read in dismay how one councillor quoted in Friday’s Guardian stating there is no point laying blame with anyone

person or group and we need to learn valuable lessons so this is not repeated.

Well let me tell you councillor/s with no ears, the Baring Square turnout of people who rallied against this project would have been the valuable lesson that you people could have learnt on that day.

But no, the minority agenda setters take centre stage with every excuse on why we should go ahead with this project. Now we are left with a bunch of people running in all directions trying to find a rock to hide under, pointing fingers at each other and no one will take responsibility and further more, again it’s us ratepayers who cop this bungle .

This letter will be read on one day then fish and chip paper the next, so what I am asking is: Who will front to the public and start taking responsibility for this mess, and further more tell us ratepayers how you are going to pay it back.

In my books, this is corporate theft and needs to be repaid without compromising the council’s core business or setting higher rates next year to smooth this bungle over.

Long march starts somewhere W ell, that was a crushing victory and Labour now needs to undertake some real hard thinking.

Is this their 1983 equivalent?

In 1983 the British Labour Party polled an historic low under the leadership of Michael Foot. The long slog to power started with the election of Neil Kinnock, New Labour’s John the Baptist, and though they would suffer two further election defeats under Kinnock, the Party had realised that its Bennite philosophies belonged to another era.

Tony Blair (possibly with Bill Clinton the most able politician of the late 20th-early 21st centuries) ditched policies such as Clause 4 and became an unstoppable force of political nature, decimating the Tories

Paul Bradford

ELECTION 2014

for a decade.

Labour here now need to toss out their shibboleths that simply do not resonate with the public. They need to ask themselves why they are in this political game.

In the abridged words of the ultimate politician Lyndon Johnson – do they want to be outside the tent or inside; do they want to lob grenades from opposition or actually get their hands on power. The long march has to start somewhere, and Cunliffe, who clearly doesn’t rate with the public or

indeed his caucus, for the sake of his party needs to do his best Captain Oates impression and go outside for a very long time.

So what now from the Nats?

The buzz word in Wellington is cost, especially hammering down the costs in the criminal justice and family systems.

Given these right wingers going on about costs, you’d think that they would all drive around in cheap 1980s Ladas or Skodas, after all the cost of those vehicles is an awful lot less than a brand new Audi/ Volvo/BMW etc.

But they don’t, do they, probably because they’ve done an analysis of cost versus quality and decided that they themselves want quality and believe that an Audi, for example, is the go and the cost therefore is

something that is worth bearing for that quality.

It’s just a shame that the same analysis is not shone upon our (your) legal system. You get what you pay for in life and now with the return of this Government New Zealanders trying to access justice will be left trundling around a system that has a 1980s Lada type feel to it, despite the best efforts of those that actually work within the system. Some things are worth paying money for: Education, Health, Justice. To paraphrase 1980s UK Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock, with this weekend’s result I warn you not to be short of money and in need of recourse to the legal system, as we are now run, yet again, by those that know the cost of everything but the value of nothing.

Commonsense prevails

I

f nothing else, Saturday’s election result reinforced my belief on a number of points.

Firstly, money does not buy political power in New Zealand.

Craig and Dotcom’s reported expenditure of $7 million has given them absolutely nothing in the way of political influence.

Secondly, New Zealanders as a nation are intelligent enough to realise that sideshows, media frenzies, conspiracy theories and personal vendettas based on dubious intelligence matter little compared to genuine leadership, diplomacy and track record.

Despite its many pitfalls, MMP had again delivered a scenario that should enable strong decision making and the ability to expand sound initia-

tives developed in the last six years.

It was intriguing how Party leaders who had all taken either personal or party hits in the poll could still find positives in the outcome.

The “Presidential” style of David Cunliffe’s concession speech with the party at an all time low in its 90-year history, and his insistence that he was the person to move it forward was akin to laughable.

It took Winston Peters to give clear acknowledgement

of what this nation is all about when he pointed to our huge reliance on the agricultural industry and the opportunity to build profitability. Optimistically his arrogance could mellow to the point of valuable policy influence.

Throughout the campaign I’ve searched in vain for what a Labour/Green coalition might deliver in the way of incentives to our economic backbone.

Cunliffe produced the gem that adding value to our traditional forestry, dairy and meat products before export to Asian markets was the way to go.

Fine. He then explained that paying our lowest paid workers an extra $2 an hour would help achieve this! Compete with Asian pay rates?

Greater environmental protection is a given. The Greens

proposal to make irrigators pay for their water is surely killing the goose that lays the golden egg? We are making meaningful progress with collaboration, education and enforcement without the need to further tax the most productive sector of our economy.

National’s ongoing commitment to further reduce beneficiary numbers another 25 per cent by 2017 is, like lower crime statistics, a continuance of progress already made - the Labour/Green response, an uncosted pipedream.

The wisdom of stable government, its success against the odds of global depression and natural disasters is quietly manifesting itself.

Maybe, just maybe, we can take a serious look at a fouryear term post 2020.

■ UNITED STATES

In brief

Security review after breach The US Secret Service has launched a review of White House security procedures after an intruder scaled a fence, sprinted across the lawn and gained entry to the presidential residence.

The White House - both the workplace and home for the president - is generally regarded as one of the most secure and protected places on the planet.

All the more troubling, Secret Service officials said, that Friday’s fence jumper, identified as Omar Gonzalez, entered the building unimpeded.

“Although last night the officers showed tremendous restraint and discipline in dealing with this subject, the location of Gonzalez’s arrest is not acceptable,” said the statement released by the Secret Service late on Saturday, noting that he was restrained only after entering the White House North Portico doors.

An agency within the Department of Homeland Security, the Secret Service is tasked with protecting America’s highest elected officials and visiting foreign officials, and securing events of national significance.

The investigation was ordered by Secret Service Director Julia Pierson, whose office said that the review’s findings would be submitted to DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson.

The Secret Service statement

Victoria has had its first Ebola scare. Health Minister David Davis said the disease was suspected in a one-year-old child who had recently returned from West Africa. The baby arrived at Frankston Hospital in Melbourne on Friday night with diarrhoea-like symptoms and was transferred to the Royal Children’s Hospital.

Doctors decided the symptoms needed further investigation. The baby was placed in an isolated negative pressure room until tests for the deadly Ebola virus came back negative, then discharged.

Authorities believe the child had returned to Australia from West Africa about five days before the symptoms emerged. It’s not yet known what the child was sick with.

said the review began on Friday, with a physical assessment of the site and personnel interviews, and would encompass “all operational policies and security procedures during this process”.

In the interim, Pierson has “ordered the immediate enhancement of officer patrols and surveillance capabilities along the Pennsylvania Avenue

fence line around the White House complex,” the statement said, adding that the measures went into effect late Friday.

President Barack Obama and his family were not home at the time, though officials and journalists were rushed out of the building during the disturbance.

The announcement of the internal Secret Service probe

came the same day as a second, less serious incident, when a man was arrested at the White House and charged with trespassing.

Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary told AFP that a man was placed under arrest when he turned up in his car a short time after being denied entrance at a pedestrian access point.

■ SCOTLAND

The economy behind Scottish ‘No’ vote Scots were driven to reject independence in a historic referendum more out of fears over the economic risks of going alone than a strong attachment to the United Kingdom, a survey analysis shows.

The post-referendum survey by independent pollster Lord Michael Ashcroft also reveals that young people voted in droves to break up the centuries-old union - suggesting a future referendum might go the other way.

The “No” campaign focused on the economic dangers of independence, in particular warning of uncertainty over the currency after the British government said the separatists would not be able to keep the pound.

Ashcroft’s survey of 2047 people who cast ballots in Thursday’s referendum, weighted to reflect the 55 per cent who voted against inde-

Ebola scare in Aust

pendence, reveals that the message hit home.

When “No” voters were presented with three options explaining their decision, some 47 per cent said the risks were too great when it came to matters such as the currency, EU membership, the economy, jobs and prices.

Around 27 per cent said they were driven by a strong attachment to the United Kingdom, its shared history, culture and traditions.

And around 25 per cent said it was the promise of new powers for the devolved Scottish Parliament that would result in “the best of both worlds”.

By contrast, “by far the biggest single driver for ‘Yes’ voters was disaffection with Westminster politics”, said Ashcroft, a former Conservative party donor, in an online commentary.

Seven in 10 “Yes” voters said

they were most concerned that decisions about Scotland be taken in Scotland, while 20 per cent said they were driven by the feeling that the future would be brighter as an independent country.

One in 10 said their main reason for backing independence was to ensure they would no longer be ruled by Conservative governments.

British Prime Minister David Cameron’s party is currently the biggest in Westminster but has just one Scottish MP. Warnings that independence was the only way to save the state-run National Health Service (NHS) from savage spending cuts also made their mark, with 54 per cent of “Yes” voters saying it was an important factor.

After a slow burning campaign that reached a frenzy in the last fortnight when opinion polls suggested the “Yes” camp

might deliver a shock win, twothirds of those who made up their minds in the last few days voted “Yes”.

Despite the clear result, the survey indicates that the issue of independence has not been decided for good.

Some 71 per cent of 16 to 17-year-olds, who were allowed to vote for the first time in a British election, voted “Yes”, while 73 per cent of people over 65 voted “No”.

And although Cameron said the issue of independence had now been settled for a generation, many voters believe the referendum may be re-run sooner.

Some 31 per cent said the issue was settled for five years, 17 per cent for a decade, 24 per cent for a generation _ while 19 per cent said independence would never be revisited.

Fiji’s coup leader Voreqe (Frank) Bainimarama has declared himself the Pacific nation’s new prime minister. His announcement came yesterday, four days after the country’s first democratic election in eight years. Although the final vote count has not been released, provisional results show Bainimarama’s Fiji First Party heading towards a clear victory.

Bainimarama’s victory declaration came after the Fiji Electoral Office showed Fiji First with 59.1 per cent support after votes had been counted at 88 per cent of the polling booths. The Social Democratic Liberal Party was a distant second at 28.3 per cent.

Coded messages Convicted terrorists are using coded messages to continue jihadi activities from inside Australia’s most secure prison, Goulburn Supermax, i has been reported.

Senior corrections officials say they fear some of Australia’s most dangerous inmates are capable of plotting acts of terror from inside jail because of serious security gaps, News Corp Australia reported yesterday. Despite being on the strictest AA classification, introduced in 2008 especially for terrorists, the inmates are free to communicate with the outside world through letters, phone calls, family visits and messages sent through other inmates they come in contact with. They are kept in isolation but that means nothing in jail, a high-ranking former official said. He said the inmates’ mail was scrutinised and sent to ASIO. A report says some AA inmates are recruiting others to terrorism while some are commanded to attempt escape.

News 14 Ashburton Guardian

www.guardianonline.co.nz

Monday, September 22, 2014

In most corners of the world, an Ashburton person can be found. So the Guardian’s Erin Tasker decided to track some of them down. This week it’s Chris Haskett who is living in London and travelling a lot, thanks to his work in the busy IT sector.

Working in a busy IT world C

hris Haskett left New Zealand in July 2007 with a one-way ticket to London in his hand.

The city quickly became his home and today he’s happily married to an Irish girl and working in the busy IT world, as head of solution services for an IT consultancy based in Mayfair.

Chris initially left Ashburton in 2001 bound for Christchurch, to find opportunities in the IT sector.

“At the time of course, technology wasn’t so pervasive.

Getting into larger business was key to finding the opportunities in big technology.

“Having developed a few years’ experience and inspired by colleagues telling stories of their experience working and travelling abroad, I started to investigate the options of moving up in my field. In 2007 with a British passport in hand due to my mother’s ancestry, I had booked a one-way ticket to London.”

London has been his base since then, although he’s contracted/freelanced so his work has taken him around England, Germany and Switzerland, and on business trips to India, the Netherlands and even the Carribean – one of the perks of the job.

In his current role he’s responsible for IT consulting and strategy across several customer engagements.

“Predominately this currently means I am based in Berlin with one of our largest customers, an international manufacturing company who are currently changing their information services outsourcing partner where I am the workplace architect,” Chris said.

“I also have an active role in business development with existing clients, and to find new clients.

“We have some very exciting developments in this area with more truly global and international clients, and hopefully a few new stories to share in the near future.”

London is a city which is

Ashburton abroad

with Chris Haskett in London always happening, moving and adapting.

“The people change, the locations change, it is only boring if you yourself get overwhelmed and need some time out.

“Berlin is like an adult version of university living, art, culture and history. I am reminded of a quote, “there is only thing that you can not learn in Berlin, and that is perhaps the German language’.”

The best part of living where he does is the easy access to anything you can possibly imagine from travel, music, food, art, history, work, sport.

“It has either happened, is here right now, or coming this way.

“The worst thing is either being away from family, or perhaps the lack of space. I certainly miss the backyard BBQ.” He tries to see family once a year, either through meeting somewhere or him visiting New Zealand, or family coming to him. He misses having them so close, and the freedom that came with living in New Zealand.

Chris Haskett has made a life in London.

“By freedom I mean the flexible lifestyle that means you can jump in the car/bike/boat and be where you want to be in a few short hours.

“Although the sights and activities in the UK and Europe are far more extensive, you’re sharing with a lot more people and it tends to take more time to reach them. When living in Ashburton/Christchurch, you were never more than an hour or two away from a bicycle ride/mountain to ski/lake to

swim, or sea to surf.”

Life growing up in Ashburton seems such a long time ago now.

“I think back and recall that it seemed very safe, had a relatively straight forward existence with few worries as well as the opportunity to live the way I chose,” Chris said.

His immediate family and the majority of his extended family are still in Ashburton, or nearby.

“Both parents come from quite large families, so there

PHOTO SUPPLIED

are plenty of cousins spread around,” Chris said.

A lot of his family attended Chris’ recent wedding to his Irish wife Darina, who he met in London shortly after she arrived there a little over four years ago.

“It was a fantastic excuse to bring over the whole family to this side of the world, and I look forward to moving with Darina to live south side up, initially likely in Sydney in a few years’ time,” Chris said.

Most Memorable Holiday: Bali – getting outside his comfort zone

S

cott has a chronic case of the traveler’s bug having already visited Bali, Singapore and Australia with many more travel plans in the pipeline. His favorite holiday was one to Bali, mostly because it’s so different to what he was used to at home. “You have the opportunity to get outside your comfort zone” he said.

This trip included enjoying the amazing scenery Bali had to offer as well as visiting the main centers or relaxing on the beach with a cocktail. During this trip he also wandered the local markets and went elephant riding “they seem so calm and happy, you can learn a lot from the guides while you ride through the rain forest and local villages”.

Scott loves getting away and really seeing the true side of places, not just the touristy places. He loves being able to help other people do the same with their own trips. “It’s the best feeling when you get to show people something they’ve never experienced before and when they come back all excited and so happy they did it, that’s what I like the most” he said.

In brief Ivanovic a winner Ana Ivanovic charged the net repeatedly to overcome US Open finalist Caroline Wozniacki 6-2, 7-6 (7/2) in the final of the WTA Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo yesterday.

The 26-year-old Serb needed 99 minutes to win the battle of the former world’s best players, stretching her head-to-head tally of wins over the second-seeded Dane to five-two. “It was so hard physically. We had a lot of long rallies but to win the title is amazing,” said the third-seeded Ivanovic.

Graham apologises Canterbury firebrand James Graham felt the need to apologise to team-mate Mitch Brown for giving him a vicious on-field spray in Saturday night’s NRL semi-final win over Manly. Graham was livid that Brown gave away possession with a foolish offload in the first half, and let his winger know all about it. In an unusual display of aggression towards a man wearing his same jersey, footage showed Graham getting within inches of Brown’s face, spraying abuse and thrusting his finger towards his chest. “Emotions get the better of me sometimes,” said Graham, suspended for 12 games following the 2012 grand final for biting. “I apologised to him but he knows not to take me seriously. I’ll treat him to coffee this week but mind you I always treat him for coffee.

I don’t have to change it just because he’s Manny Pacquiao,” the 27-year-old centre-forward of the league’s Rain or Shine team added.

‘No regrets’ for Li Na Pioneering Chinese tennis star Li Na said yesterday she has “no regrets” about her decision to retire over persistent knee injuries, but told an emotional news conference she reached the decision only after thinking long and hard. The two-time Grand Slam winner made her first public remarks since she announced her shock retirement via social media on Friday. “I’m very satisfied with my tennis career,” the 32-year-old Li said at a news conference at China’s National Tennis Centre, which hosts the China Open later this month. “I feel this is the best time for me to retire. I don’t feel sorry or have any regrets about retiring. When I was making this decision, I asked myself, ‘If I retire, will I regret it?’ “My heart told me I wouldn’t, because I’ve done my best,” she said.

Hammers shock Liverpool

By Julian Guyer Liverpool suffered a surprise 3-1 loss away to West Ham yesterday as fresh questions were raised about whether they have the defence required to win the Premier League.

Brendan Rodgers’s men were 2-0 down inside seven minutes at Upton Park.

The visitors failed to deal with James Tomkins’ knock down and Kiwi Winston Reid turned the ball in to put the Hammers 1-0 up in the second minute.

And the London side doubled their lead minutes later when Senegal forward Diafra Sakho’s intended cross beat everyone, including Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.

Defensive errors cost Liverpool the title when they finished runners-up to champions Manchester City last term and they’ve now lost three of five

league games this season.

But they remain a potent attacking force and England winger Raheem Sterling pulled a goal back with an unstoppable shot from inside the box in the 26th minute after Mario Balotelli’s initial effort was blocked.

Substitute Morgan Amalfitano made the game safe for Sam Allardyce’s West Ham side two minutes from time when he latched on to former Liverpool winger Stewart Downing’s through-ball before finding the far corner.

“We knew this would be a tough game but we were 2-0 down before we started,” Liverpool manager Rodgers told the BBC. “We’re nowhere near the levels we expect to be at.”

With Liverpool having played in the Champions League in midweek, Hammers boss Allardyce was delighted by his side’s start.

“Liverpool had played in the

Champions League for the first time in five years which is tiring and we wanted to start as quickly as we can,” Allardyce said. “We said let’s not let them control the tempo and press their back players. It worked brilliantly.”

Earlier, Arsenal stopped Aston Villa going top of the table courtesy of a 3-0 win, with the much-criticised Mesut Ozil on target.

Villa had conceded just one league goal in their previous four league matches but all that changed as Arsenal fired in three inside four minutes at Villa Park.

Ozil put the Gunners in front in the 32nd minute and former Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck scored his first Arsenal goal two minutes later before Villa’s Aly Cissokho turned the ball into his own net.

Newcastle moved off the bottom of the table and eased

the pressure on manager Alan Pardew by coming from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at home to Hull, with substitute Papiss Cisse scoring both the Magpies’ goals inside the final 15 minutes.

Southampton went second with a 1-0 away to a Swansea side who had to play more than half the match a man down after Ivory Coast striker Wilfried Bony was sent off.

QPR and Stoke shared the points in a 2-2 draw at Loftus Road while honours were also even in the goalless stalemate between Burnley and Sunderland.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had been forced to again defend Germany World Cup-winner Ozil, a club record STG42m signing from Real Madrid last term, after his uninspiring display in the Gunners’ 2-0 Champions League defeat at Borussia Dortmund midweek.

Ronaldo leads eight goal rout of Deportivo

By Kieran CanninG Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti hailed Cristiano Ronaldo as a phenomenon after the striker scored a hat-trick in the side’s 8-2 thrashing of Deportivo la Coruna yesterday.

The victory, which also included a double from Gareth Bale, equalled Real’s biggest ever away win in La Liga.

They now trail second-placed Atletico Madrid by two points after the champions missed the chance to go top as they were

held 2-2 at home by Celta Vigo.

“The game was defined by the skill and quality we have up front and how clinical we were with the chances we had,” Ancelotti said.

“We showed the quality we have.

“We have a phenomenon in Ronaldo and we have other players with great quality.

“They combined very well together and that was the best thing we can take from the game.”

The toothless Lions have lost six straight, with their latest defeat coming at the hands of Tasman who destroyed Chris Boyd’s men 42-20 in the capital yesterday.

Its physicality was too much for the opposition, its energy levels were high and it never gave the highly rated Waikato backs any chance to show their wares. - ODT

■ MID CANTERBURY RUGBY

Hammers in perilous position

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury are now in must win mode in the Heartland Rugby Championship after being beaten at home by Buller 19-29 on Saturday.

The loss leaves the Hammers in seventh with three rounds to go while Buller remain on top after the bonus point win, their first ever over Mid Canterbury in the Heartland era.

Mid Canterbury coach Glenn Moore simply said they were bested by the new benchmark in the competition.

“We were beaten by a better team on the day,” Moore said.

“Buller are a great team and have every base covered.

“A great defence and attack record. A big mobile pack with skill, flair and pace in the backs.”

Mid Canterbury dominated most facets of the first half except for the scoreboard, as Buller made the most of their limited opportunities before

taking control of the game in the second half.

The lineout was wayward at crucial times in the first half while the scrum was strong throughout.

In general play Buller’s evergreen Luke Brownlee, in his 139th straight game, and Darfield’s Blair McIlroy were menaces at the break down for the Hammers’ ball security - although some loose passing was also to blame for some critical turnovers.

The Hammers’ rare strong start had them dominate the opening 20 minutes, but they only had a Murray Williams penalty to show for it.

Buller’s first foray into the Hammers’ red zone on the halfhour mark netted a try to fullback Iliesa Ravudra, converted

by James Lash – a former Mid Canterbury loan player in 2011.

The usually reliable Williams had his kicking radar slightly off, missing two long range efforts before Buller were gifted

the ball inside Mid Canterbury territory and Penijamini Nabainivalu had the first of his two tries, with Lash converting for a 14-3 lead at the break.

“A couple of lineouts that we needed to win but went to the wrong spot and a couple of one-on-one tackles missed gave them those two tries,” said Moore.

Williams started the second half with a penalty but Buller came straight back with a converted try to Nabainivalu.

Williams responded with his third penalty and after his next effort hit the post, the Hammers finally converted some time in the red zone to a fivepointer when Seta Koroitamana out-flanked the defence to make it 14-21.

Lash hit his first penalty of the day as Buller started to enjoy more possession and as the penalty count mounted against the hosts so too did the pressure.

Buller camped in the Ham-

mers’ half and eventually towering loose forward Isei Lawaqai scored the bonus point try in the 68th minute to make it 29-14.

The Hammers conjured up a fightback which had captain Jon Dampney, in his 99th game for the province, diving over for a try but it was too little too late.

The heat goes on the defending Meads Cup champions to make the top four, starting with a tough road assignment in the winless East Coast before the Hanan Shield battles with second-placed South Canterbury and North Otago to complete the round robin.

“We just need to make sure we win and that’s all,” Moore said.

Mid Canterbury 19 (Seta Koroitamana, James Dampney tries; Murray Williams 3 pen) Buller 29 (Iliesa Ravudra, Penijamini Nabainivalu 2, Isei Lawaqai tries; James Lash 3 con, pen). H/T: 3-14.

Buller still top dog in Heartland Championship Buller remained unbeaten with a bonus point win over Mid Canterbury to stay on top of the Heartland Rugby championship after five rounds.

Buller are now two points ahead of South Canterbury who bounced back from their first loss at the hands of Buller

with a 32-28 win over Poverty Bay in Timaru.

Former All Black hooker Hika Elliot made a welcome return to rugby after a serious neck injury playing at flanker for Poverty Bay while fellow former All Black, Rico Gear, scored one of the Bay’s four

tries, all converted by Clayton Kiwara, but South Canterbury ran in four of their own with Jared Trevathan converting three and two penalties as the hosts held off a late charge.

Third placed Horowhenua Kapiti kept up pace with a 12-9 win over Wairarapa Bush

in Levin, and a late penalty helped North Otago hold on for a 19-15 win over Thames Valley in Paeroa.

The West Coast remain winless after going down to King Country 10-15 in Taupo while Wanganui were too strong for East Coast 44-7.

The All Blacks’ meticulous planning for the unexpected - put into operation over the weekend when their flight to Argentina was delayed for nearly 24 hours until yesterday - extends to next year’s World Cup and the near certainty that they will be described as “chokers”. Coach Steve Hansen brought up the description in an interview yesterday in describing how not getting bogged down in a negative mindset will be crucial if the All Blacks are to make history in not only winning back-to-back titles, but also winning the William Webb Ellis trophy overseas for the first time.

Gold for Kiwi sailors New Zealand sailors Peter Burling and Blair Tuke continued their stretch of supremacy in the 49er class, winning a second straight world championship over the weekend.

The pair took gold with a day to spare in Santander, Spain, heading into the medal race with an unassailable 36-point lead after a fifth-place finish on the penultimate day. The victory prolongs an impressive unbeaten run in the class, a streak that began after claiming silver at the 2012 London Olympics.

Since that result, Burling and Tuke have won eight major regattas including two world titles. - APNZ

Williamson in top form If you’re married to test cricket, Kane Williamson’s unbeaten century against the Cape Cobras in the Champions League was enough to generate adulterous Twenty20 thoughts.

Forgive the hyperbole, but few centuries in the sport’s most abridged format can have been more balanced, orthodox or imperious.

Williamson won’t say it, so someone must. If he sustains anywhere near this sort of form through the World Cup, New Zealand, with the depth of bowling stocks being developed, will stand every chance of doing well. Williamson’s biggest dilemma now appears to be whether to accept an IPL contract when the franchise moguls come knocking, or maintain his first-class ambitions in England during international offseasons.

Warriors upset Knights The Junior Warriors are fast becoming the story of the 2014 Holden Cup season. This game saw the minor premiers taking on the eighth-placed qualifiers but it never looked like it. Remember the Warriors qualified for the playoffs only thanks to a last-second sideline conversion in their finalround match against Penrith which earned them a draw and a vital competition point. But they were the dominant side on Saturday night and thoroughly deserved their win. They now face the Parramatta Eels next week for a place in their fourth grand final.

Maloney ups the ante Sydney Roosters five-eighth James Maloney believes South Sydney may find the burden of expectation too much to handle in next Friday’s mouth-watering preliminary final clash at ANZ Stadium. The Rabbitohs haven’t appeared in or won a grand final since 1971 and for the past two seasons the men in red and green have fallen at this same hurdle, a game short of the premiership decider. To add even greater significance to the occasion, it’s remarkably the first time the fierce neighbouring rivals, Souths and Easts, have faced off in a first-grade finals match in 76 years.

Negotiations have still to be completed, but it seems likely that Erakovic will be classed as a carded athlete and granted full access to all of the services and benefits HPSNZ provide when she returns home this summer. “Some people have been pushing my case and it looks like it has been resolved.”

Mid Canterbury Softball held an open tournament that featured a current Black Sox player at Argyle Park yesterday.

New Zealand Black Sox representative Tyron Bartorillo ventured down to enjoy the more social setting than the intense competitive nature of in-

ternational softball. He played alongside and against players ranging from college grade to masters in a warm up tournament a month out from the start of the Mid Canterbury season.

Six teams entered the warmup tournament and it was the Rusty Demons came out on top, but need a tiebreak the beat the Rolleston Rangers, while in the

final, having earlier accounted for Bartorillo and the Angels in the semi-finals.

Bartorillo did however show his class knocking everyone out of the park in the home run derby, with the international set to return during the season for some coaching sessions.

The Mid Canterbury competitive season is set to start

on October 18, with junior and senior grades all getting underway.

Mid Canterbury Softball President Heath Lyttle said that there was still spaces available for any new players to come along and join a team.

They offer tee ball and slow pitch in the junior grades, and a mixed-open grade.

Aussie Outdoor bowlers hit the greens power on the track ■ BOWLS

Ashburton’s Jo Ryk rolls up at the first outdoor bowls tournament of the summer on Friday at the Allenton Blowing Club.

The bowlers had to wait almost a week to don the whites for the first time after rain dampened the first club opening days.

But the sunshine over the weekend made for plenty of early season practice at greens around the district.

Hinds cyclist Lauren Ellis finished spent the BikeNZ Classic chasing brilliant Australian Ashlee Ankudinoff, who completed an unbeaten week on the Avantidrome track in Cambridge.

Ankudinoff claimed the women’s points race on Saturday night after winning all six disciplines of the omnium and two scratch race victories.

In the omnium Ellis had also finished runner up to Ankudinoff and while the Australian continued her dominance of the women’s events taking out the points race Ellis again had to settle for second.

Ashburtons’s Alex Hooper was ninth in the men’s omnium after he was unable to finish the points race.

Mile in her sights

Last season’s outstanding southern three-year-old filly Madam Victoria will take her first step on a path to the Gr. 2 Couplands Bakeries Mile at Riccarton in November when she lines up in race three at Timaru today.

Trainer Terri Rae is confident the mare who has tasted defeat just once in her six race career to date is in fine fettle to resume and ready to pit herself against the best in this campaign.

“She seems to have come back bigger and stronger this time in as she has grown a little taller and really filled out nicely during her winter break,” she noted.

“We need to get her underway if she is going to make it to the Couplands Mile and this race fits in nicely as she will have just one more run before Cup Week if things go to plan.

“She has been working really well and comes to hand fairly quickly so she should be competitive today and will appreciate the better track conditions that we will likely strike.” - APNZ

Medals galore

By Jonathan Leask

Jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

The fourth Ashburton Gymnastic Club’s annual competition was the biggest by far yesterday at the Ashburton College gymnasium.

There were 133 young gymnasts across the grades from the West Melton, Christchurch School of Gymnastics, Olympia and Hokotika clubs as well as the Ashburton club.

The locals picked up a clean sweep of medals in the bronze grade with Marlese Schoonderbeek taking gold, Georgia Blundell silver and the bronze to Lelani Davis.

Georgia Williams-Freeman won the bronze medal in the Iron and Lily Higson

took silver in the Gymfun.

In the boys Martin Stimolo won gold, as did Gareth Peel in grade two while Hunter Abernethy won silver in Gymfun grade.

The biggest effort of the day was by judge Greg Pask who did the round trip from Blenheim, departing his home at 3.50am to be in Ashburton in time for the start of the competition and judge all four rounds, before heading home at the end of proceedings.

Ashburton club coach Nicky Horrell said it was one of the “best competitions we’ve ever held” and praised the great work of the new committee, and their husbands, over the weekend.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Along with the Sun’s foresight on the work front, Pluto’s professional hindsight and the Moon’s intuitive edge, your heart needs its say.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) A day before the Sun is due to return to your work sector there’s an all out effort to make his last full day in a fun and playful part of your chart count.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) By this time next week the pace will once again pick up on the work front, with a valuable chance today to make home and family matters a priority.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) As the Moon’s monthly visit to your income sector wraps up hold onto the nose for money and confidence this leaves you with.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) With the tide due to turn on the work front tomorrow and the most lucrative days of the year coming up, trust what a nose for money is telling you.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) While the Moon’s return to your sign may push some buttons on the personal and/or relationship fronts, it’s a valuable chance to get your attention.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) The last full day of your old solar year is a day you have a chance to pause, reflect and look back on the past.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) The focus shifts to personal and professional networking today, with people and situations not only transparent but the laws of synchronicity in play.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Having the Moon in your career sector during the Sun’s last full day will ensure your professional instincts are sharp.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) There’s a need to take Mondayitis seriously, trusting there is something important behind a sense of wanderlust, curiosity and adventure.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) A mix of financial tension and sharp financial instincts will ensure you make the most of the last full day of your annual financial review.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 21) Use any personal and/or relationship tension today as a chance to flush things out, knowing that it’s all about having an authentic starting point.

Punters flock to the grass track

FULL RESULTS P19 PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 210914-TM-118

The field in the first race of the Methven Trotting Club season fly down the home straight past the packed-in crowd at the Clubs of Canterbury spring race meet yesterday.

Blair Orange drove McArdle

Star to the win by two-and-aquarter lengths from Highveiw Freddy, paying $2.60 for the win in the first grass track race of the season.

After that it was the usual tough day for the punters at

Methven with the outsiders constantly finding their way to the front, including Ashburton trainer-driver Lawrence McCormick who drove Chapel Lane to the line for a $23.50 pay day in the third.

Colin De Filippi had hold of the magic reins on the day, driving big-paying winners in the fourth with Westburn Jewel at $29.30 and Clover Mac at $28.50 in the fifth, before a more modestly priced

$7.40 win with Valmagne in the ninth.

Of course Ricky May got his customary home-track win; it came in the eighth driving Mighty Peruvian to a $6.20 win by half-a-head.

Toovey savages NRL refereeing

BY JAMES MACSMITH He wasn’t calling for an investigation, but Manly coach Geoff Toovey was again left bemoaning a referee’s undue influence on the outcome of a contest as the Sea Eagles bowed out of the NRL premiership race on Saturday night.

They were left cursing their luck when referee Gerard Sutton was hit by a fifth-tackle kick from Canterbury playmaker

Josh Reynolds late in their golden point 18-17 loss on Saturday.

Sutton decided he had affected play and gave the Bulldogs a scrum feed that led to six more tackles 20m out from from Manly’s line.

From the ensuing set of six, halfback Trent Hodkinson landed a field goal to put the Dogs 17-16 ahead in the 75th minute before his Manly counterpart Daly Cherry-Evans returned the favour in the 79th minute to

‘All Blacks are not chokers’ P17

put the game into extra time.

“So much for referees not having a direct outcome on the result of the game,” Toovey said.

“Let’s face it, that is what happened. It was the last tackle and it hits the ref, they get the feed and they kick the field goal.”

The Manly mentor said he didn’t think it was a deliberate ploy from Reynolds.

“I think it was just a poor kick,” he said.

Toovey was also left shaking

his head over the NRL’s ‘one punch and you are off ’ rule after both Sea Eagles prop Josh Starling and Canterbury utility Reni Maitua were sin-binned for striking. Starling reacted to a ‘chicken wing’ tackle from Josh Jackson in the 23rd minute.

Maitua punched James Hasson in a melee, which followed Cheyse Blair’s 71st minute try.

“You retaliate and you get 10 minutes,” Toovey said of Starling’s sin-binning. “I can’t

change the rule or the result ... the whole thing is ridiculous.

“A bloke can grab your shirt and punch you in the head and a bloke hits back and he gets 10 minutes ... and when you armlock a bloke, you don’t get 10 minutes. The whole thing is out of control.”

Last year, Toovey famously claimed there needed to be an investigation into NRL refereeing after a decision went against his side in a loss to Souths. - AAP
