■ LABOUR SHORTAGE

Falloon fighting for fair deal on immigration BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon is gearing up for a fight as he endeavours to find solutions to the dire labour shortage many Ashburton businesses face. Cuts to immigration would hit Ashburton very hard as the district’s economic growth was already being hindered by a lack of workers, Falloon said. He’s calling on the government to urgently address the skills shortage which, he said, was hampering regional New Zealand’s growth. “Towns like Ashburton are bearing the brunt of it. There are 500 vacancies in the district and employers have stopped advertising because of a lack of applicants.” A report commissioned by the Ashburton District Council identified the number of current vacancies and put the cost of those to the district’s economy at $16 million. That lost opportunity cost is likely to rise to $105 million by 2030. Immigration minister Iain Lees-Galloway had granted the Mackenzie District a streamlined labour market test for migrant workers seeking an Essential Skills Visa, cutting the process from two to three weeks to 24 hours. A precedent had been set and the same measures should be put in place for areas such as Ashburton where there was a

critical labour shortage, Falloon said. Through his Ashburton electorate office, he said he had worked with dozens of employers who were carrying vacancies. “Many of those have stopped advertising because of the lack of applicants and that lack of employees is stifling growth of local businesses and our wider economy,” he said. Lees-Galloway had said current immigration settings would remain in place until the end of the year but that was just one month away and no announcements on new settings had been made. “All we know is that Labour’s election manifesto said it would reduce net immigration by 20,000 to 30,000 per year and districts like Mid Canterbury will bear the brunt of that. By cutting net migration by 10,000 the government is cutting our legs from under us.” In real terms, by giving Mackenzie an exemption it appeared to be playing favourites, and picking winners, Falloon said. “Why is it not doing the same for Ashburton when we have similar challenges in finding employees?” If Ashburton was not granted a similar streamlining the government would be starving the district of employees, he said. “The least he can do is end the year by supporting hardworking local businesses so they can keep the lights on by getting the workers they desperately need.”

Ashburton police are having to deal with the big four in the drug world: cannabis, MDMA, methamphetamine and alcohol, the latter causing the biggest issues.

■ DRUG ABUSE

The big four causing issues locally BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The four big drugs that are available in our district are as much a health issue as they are a criminal issue according to Ashburton’s top cop. A study conducted by Massey University this year revealed that methamphetamine is more easily available in all areas of New Zealand than cannabis, but Senior Sergeant Phil Dean says there are a big four that are causing issues. “We have got cannabis, we have got methamphetamine and we have got MDMA that we see in our community,” he said. “All three are causing social issues, and all three are things we need to work on as a community, but alcohol is still causing the biggest issues.” Statistics show that in the past

Senior Sergeant Phil Dean year more proceedings have been taken up by police in the district for cannabis related crimes than methamphetamine related crimes, but Dean wants to change the view on the crimes. Data available on the Police’s website showed that for the Ash-

burton, Rakaia and Methven police stations from 29/9/2017 to 30/9/2018, there were 19 proceedings taken for cannabis offences, while seven were taken for methamphetamine/amphetamine offences. “These are all things that are being consumed by addicts, which is a health issue, and it is why we have been working the DHB and other health services,” Dean said. “I do view drugs as more of a health issue than a criminal issue.” Dean believes the best thing members of the community who know somebody who is abusing this drugs is to reach to the medical services that are available. “If you know they have an issue with drugs, reach out to the health services or ACADS for help,” he said.

■ NZTA PROPOSALS

Plenty of opinions on state highway safety options By Sue NewmaN

Left – Hundreds of Ashburton people took advantage of the opportunity to talk to the experts and view proposed safety options for safety improvements to State Highway One during yesterday’s drop-in day with New Zealand Transport Agency staff.

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A proposal to introduce a number of safety measures to State Highway One has drawn a sharp – and largely negative – reaction from people in the Ashburton District. With 13 deaths and 49 serious injury crashes between 2007 and 2016 on the stretch of highway from the Selwyn River to Ashburton, the New Zealand Transport Agency is looking at ways to make the road safer. The safety measures proposed were on show in Ashburton yesterday, during a drop-in session where NZTA and Safe Roads Alliance staff were on hand to discuss proposals and to listen to community concerns. And people were not holding back. The plan to install a flexible wire median barrier, to close off some side road access and to create turning bays would create more problems than they would solve, people at the open day said. “It just won’t work, they’ll need double the number of passing lanes,” one man said, while another said traffic volumes would build up behind slow moving traffic because the central barrier would prevent passing. Others were concerned that secondary roads would become routes of choice for people wanting to avoid the slower moving highway and that could move the accident problem off the highway to those roads. The only way the median wire solution could work would be with more passing lanes, longer passing lanes and slow vehicle bays, but a four lane highway would be the best option many said. Road safety was the number

up for discussion had no funding around them and were not in the Government’s three-year roading plan, but planning had to start now for safety improvements on the highway. The flexible median barrier was considered the best prevention measure for head-on crashes, Connors said and while additional passing lanes or extensions to existing passing lanes was not in the proposal they could be considered, but they would come with a high cost, he said. “Everything is on the table, that’s why we’re here, to talk op-

tions. “This is an opportunity to take on everyone’s views so we can get the best results for both safety and efficiency.” The stretch of highway was unique in that it was busy day and night, it was used by agricultural vehicles, it had a high number of deaths and injuries. Therefore it had been identified as a priority road in the South Island, Connors said. On the list of possible safety changes was the installation of side of road barriers in areas where off road structures could pose a traffic hazard. Ashburton, however, Connors said, was ahead of the game in terms of removing one of the major safety hazards, road-side power poles. “There’s been a terrific uptake in the Ashburton District with undergrounding. EA Networks has been great in doing this in partnership with us. They’ve invested a lot of money in it.” No decisions had been made on which safety options would make it into the final plan; the open days to talk options was the first step, he said. “We’re getting a lot of very sensible feedback.” Another open day will be held at Rakaia’s Salmon Tales today from 11am to 2pm.

In brief Males missing out In the drive to ensure Ashburton is a place of equal opportunity regardless of gender, age or ethnicity, there’s one group that is becoming left behind and that’s those who are male, stale and pale, says deputy mayor Neil Brown. At this week’s service delivery meeting, he took a light-hearted swipe at the range of exhibitions staged in Ashburton’s museum. While those exhibitions had huge merit, and recognised many groups, the average Kiwi male was missing out, Brown said. When councillor Liz McMillan told him a new women in the workforce exhibition was opening at the Ashburton Museum, Brown replied – “I rest my case.” Toot for Tucker volunteers will be hoping for another successful haul this year, despite the postponement of the event.

■ TOOT FOR TUCKER

Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Inclement weather is not going to stop the Ashburton County Lions from tooting for your tucker. One of the Lions’ trademark events, Toot for Tucker, which collects donations of non-perishable food for local foodbanks was postponed from its Monday date after wild weather hit the

district raising health and safety concerns. President Nicola Kelly said nothing has changed with the initial plans, and the food collectors will be out in force on Monday evening. “We will be meeting at 5.30pm and having a briefing, before heading out at around 6.30pm,” she said. “If people can leave the food

in bags by their mailboxes that would be great.” Kelly said the group apologises to anybody who left out food last week, saying this was definitely one of the first times the event had been pushed back. Collection could take roughly an hour, with some groups having to double back to pick up food with people only remembering

when they hear the tooting. Last year’s community response to the event was the best yet for the event which has been running since the year 2000. More than 20 vehicles will hit the streets of urban Ashburton, Tinwald, Hinds and Lake Hood, and in addition there will be community collections in Fairton and Chertsey.

Faulty airbags not replaced on many vehicles By Jaime Pitt-macKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

As we head in to summer vehicle owners are being urged to check if their vehicles have been affected by the compulsory recall of Takata Alpha type airbags. Figures from territorial authorities show that there are still 176 airbags still to be repaired in the Ashburton District, part of the 4199 affected across the Canterbury region. “We know many Canterbury residents will be planning their

summer road trips now and with unfortunately higher crash rates than we have seen before, it’s more important than ever that all airbags in vehicles are safe,” said minister for commerce and consumer affairs Kris Faafoi. “If a vehicle is affected, consumers are entitled to have their airbags replaced at no cost, no matter if the vehicle was purchased privately, through a dealer, new or second-hand.” The process for consumers

to check if they are affected is a simple one. By visiting rightcar. govt.nz and selecting the Takata alpha airbag recall page, people can enter their registration plate or VIN number and they will be shown if they are affected by the recall, and what to do if that is the case. The process of replacing the airbags is a familiar one to his staff now, says Gluyas Ford owner Peter Gluyas. “It is all manufacturer driven and we have been replacing

them all the time,” he said. “If they have had a letter from the manufacturer they really need to get in touch with their dealership so they can find out if their vehicle is involved and they can get it booked in and have it replaced.” The target is to have all airbags replaced by December 2019, and Faafoi said while he is pleased with the progress that has been made, he says we cannot afford to become complacent with the issue.

The shell-shocked family of a 14-year-old found guilty of murder say the young teen is a “sweet kid”. A High Court jury yesterday found Haami Hanara, 14, guilty of the murder of 40-year-old Flaxmere man Kelly Donner. Hanara has been on trial since Monday in the High Court in Napier before a jury of seven women and five men, and Justice Peter Churchman. The jury retired just after noon yesterday, and delivered its guilty verdict at 3.35pm. - NZME

Vaping ban plan A ban on vaping in bars, restaurants and workplaces is being proposed as part of the Government’s plans to regulate the product. Associate Minister of Health Jenny Salesa says the Smoke-free Environments Act 1990 will be amended next year. She cited findings from the Ministry of Health’s public consultation in 2016 which showed overwhelming support for the continued prohibition of sales of vaping products to under 18 year olds. - NZME

■ REVIEW

Sit back, settle in, enjoy a great show Yes, That’s What Music’s All About … Ashburton Event Centre … November 23 and 24 at 7pm; November 25 at 2pm … reviewed by Sue Newman Forget everything you thought you knew about musicals where there are star performers and the rest; Yes, That’s What Music’s All About is a show of stars. Yes, there were soloists and yes there were performances that stood out from the rest, but when it comes to entertainment and a show that was high on passion and sheer enjoyment, this one’s a winner. Whether a show is an amateur or professional production, there are two key ingredients it needs for success – audience appreciation and the genuine enjoyment of performing by those on stage. This show has both – in spades. Directors Susan Spencer and Jenny Beach have decades of theatrical experience behind them and they know what it takes to create a great show. They’ve taken a collection of songs from the 50s, 60s and 70s, matched them with simple, but effective choreography and a simple but effective stage setting and from the moment the auditorium lights go down and the stage lights up, the show flows seamlessly from one performance to the next. With 40 songs on the programme, there’s no chance you’ll feel shortchanged, but don’t get too comfortable. This show is also about you, the audience. You’re not just there to be entertained and occasionally tap your feet and clap your hands. You’re there

Harmonising during a number in Yes, That’s What Music’s all About are (from left): Heath Walters, Tony Kelly, Mike Jackson, Brent Gray, Chris Woods, Gavin Templeton (seated), Jason Klever and Mark Cherry (obscured). PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 221118-SN-051 to take your own moment in the spotlight. There are two breaks in the show where the auditorium lights go up and, like it or not, the audience becomes the star. Your numbers are in the programme, and there’s no excuse for not opening up and singing along. While this show is one where everyone’s a star, this production

team will be the envy of many for the quality of male singers they’ve recruited. The numbers where those men sing – solo, duo, as a group – were absolute highlights. Their harmonies were show-stopping. Hats off to Chris Woods, Heath Walters, Gavin Templeton, Jason Klever, Tony Kelly, Mike Jackson, Brent Gray and Mark Cherry.

And two numbers by four women in the crew also deserve mention – Sugar Time with Ruth Swansbury, Megan McAtamney and Jenny Crouchley and Mr Sandman, the same trio with the addition of Bethany McNally were standouts. Like the show’s directors, musical director Penny Wilson knows what she’s doing. Her nine-piece

band were more than just the accompaniment to each number. Rather than being consigned to the orchestra pit, the show’s band were smack, bang, centre stage. They weren’t just background music, they were visibly part of every moment. Yes, That’s What Music’s All About is a glorious trip down memory lane.

Single use plastic bag ban to be extended to thicker bags The Government will extend its plastic bag ban to include thicker bags from high street shops as it moves to rid the environment of plastic waste wreaking havoc with the environment. Associate Environment Minister Eugenie Sage has confirmed that

all single-use plastic bags will be banned by the middle of next year. The ban, which will apply to all retailers, will include all bags under 70 microns thick. That means all single-use plastic shopping bags, such as those issued by many of the country’s chain

allowed. The ban was flagged by Sage and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in August and yesterday’s announcement follows a fiveweek public consultation. Sage said the majority of 9349 submissions (92 per cent) supported a mandatory phase-out of

single-use plastic bags. “It is because of the significant problem we have of plastic bags getting into the marine environment and examples all around the world of whales, seals, seabirds, turtles being suffocated and killed by marine pollution.” - NZME

HomeShare group steps back in time Pre-Christmas celebrations started early for members of Ashburton’s HomeShare community. On Wednesday members lunched at Lake Hood before taking a step back in time and touring lakeside streets in vintage cars. HomeShare co-ordinator Jenny Gill said the service was growing in popularity and now had 18 clients who were part of three host groups. “We continue to get a lot of interest from people who enjoy the small group environment. They love having home cooked meals and joining in card games. They just enjoy one another’s company,” she said. The Christmas lunch provided an opportunity for clients from each of the groups to share time together, Gill said. HomeShare is a Presbyterian Support initiative that sees older people enjoy companionship, activities and a meal in a private home. Each group is small in number and the regular gatherings are designed to encourage older people out of their homes to socialise with others in a home setting.

Hubby jailed; wife hits out The wife of a British academic sentenced to life in prison for espionage in the United Arab Emirates said Britain’s foreign secretary assured her the government was now working to get him out of jail after months of inaction to gain his freedom. Daniela Tejada had earlier told the BBC that Foreign Office officials bungled the case of her husband, 31-year-old Ph.D. student Matthew Hedges, who was arrested May 5 at Dubai Airport after a research trip to the UAE. But after emerging from her meeting with Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, she said authorities pledged to “return him home to me”. “He has assured me that he and his team are doing everything in their power to get Matt free and return him home to me,” she said. “This is not a fight I can win alone and I thank the Foreign Office and the British public for now standing up for one of their citizens.” Tejada has become her husband’s primary advocate, turning up the pressure on the government to act. She told the BBC earlier in the day that the government had failed to robustly intervene on Hedges’ behalf during the early stages of his imprisonment, when he was held in solitary confinement under inhumane conditions.

Hunt issued a statement saying he had discussed the case with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed during a visit to the country last week and the verdict “runs contrary to earlier assurances”. Hunt said he was “deeply shocked” by the verdict, which “is not what we expect from a

Nissan board fires Ghosn following arrest Nissan Motor Co. fired Carlos Ghosn as chairman yesterday, curtailing the powerful executive’s nearly two-decade reign at the Japanese automaker after his arrest for alleged financial improprieties. In an hours-long meeting, the company’s board of directors voted unanimously to dismiss Ghosn as chairman and as a representative director, Nissan said in a statement. It said its own internal investigation, prompted by a whistleblower, found serious misconduct including underreporting of his income and misuse of company assets. It was a stunning downfall for one of the biggest figures

Carlos Ghosn in the auto industry. Ghosn had helped drive turnarounds at both France’s Renault SA and at Nissan and then managed an alliance between them that sold 10.6 million cars last year, besting its rivals.

Renault is still reeling from Ghosn’s arrest, and its share price has yet to recover. Its acting chief, Deputy CEO Thierry Bollore, spoke publicly for the first time since Ghosn was sidelined, and sought to soothe markets, car buyers and his employees by promising continuity. In a video released by Renault, Bollore said the carmaker still plans to release several new models next year. Acknowledging the “particular situation” the company is in, he pledged his “full commitment” to Renault’s 180,000 workers and its partners and customers. Renault’s board decided not

to fire Ghosn, instead installing temporary leadership. The French government, which owns 15 per cent of Renault, is also worried. French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said France has yet to receive information from Japan about what Ghosn is accused of and insisted on “respect for the presumption of innocence”. Le Maire said “this turbulence shouldn’t weaken” the Renault-Nissan alliance or its hundreds of thousands of jobs. Nissan said its investigation uncovered misuse of company investment funds and expense money for personal gain. - AP

Online bullying is costing New Zealand more than $444 million per year, reports have shown. But that’s nothing compared to the human cost. It’s a growing epidemic which is quickly spiralling out of control. The Guardian speaks to someone who was the subject of online hatred and shares their story, but we also take a look at our own world and highlight that we might need to look in the mirror a little closer.

‘Don’t be like me, stand up and say NO’

ullies think bullying is funny, but there’s nothing laughable about depression, anxiety and, sadly, suicide. Over half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online and about the same number have engaged in cyber-bullying. More than one in three young people have experienced online bullying and 25 per cent of adolescents or teens have been bullied repeatedly through the internet. Half of those bullied don’t tell anyone about it; Lucy* was one of those people. This is her story in her words:

Lucy’s story “You are a f**king ugly b*tch – get your fat arse off my Facebook page” It appeared in my messenger chat out of nowhere – a bolt from the blue which sent daggers piercing through my body. Unprovoked, unexpected and unbelievable. A person, I thought was a

friend, sending vitriol that tore through my emotions like a knife into butter. I couldn’t quite comprehend what was going on for the first wee while after receiving the message, I certainly didn’t want to reply and open up a line of communication. All I had done was post a photo to a couple of my social media accounts sharing my joy of being on holiday in Australia, relaxing on a beach – because, that’s what you do when you’re in that part of the world and the weather is kind. I never for a minute thought that it would bring about something like that. A message which was so out of nowhere that I instantly felt numb. To me social media had always been a fun outlet in which to connect with people away from normal life. I’d hang out with my friends at school and then university, but when at home I could still interact with them through various avenues. I held what would be described as a strong social media footprint with accounts across pretty much all variances of platforms from Facebook to dating sites. And for the majority, it was great.

In short, I had fun on social media. But that message changed it all. I knew the person who sent the message. They were a friend at one point in my life, but as often happens we’d drifted apart as life took hold and we were more like associates than anything else. They were a popular person around social circles, they drew attention wherever they went – they demanded eyes and ears like some sort of movie star when they walked into a room. I spent about 10 minutes staring blankly at my phone as I read their message over and over again, wondering if I should reply or just leave it and hope it would go away. I left it. But the barrage continued over the next few months and soon it wasn’t just the one individual messaging abuse, it was an entire network of friends and I had no idea why. They would call me fat, they would call me ugly. They’d photoshop pictures of my face on a variety of farm animals and share them amongst each other and also sent them to me. Every time my phone would beep with a message or notification a horrible feeling would come over me and

I’d be petrified of opening it up. I stopped posting on my social media accounts – I barely opened them. I effectively hid away from the online world. I was too scared to post a message for fear of the retribution. It was horrible. I endured it and that was my worst mistake. I should have done something about it – I should have reported the behaviour. But I didn’t. I was raised in a family where we dealt with our own problems, we certainly didn’t run to someone else and ask for help. Looking back on it now, it was a bad way to approach life. Eventually the bullying stopped. I presume they got bored or moved on to something else. I’d like to think that they had this wonderful revelation where they realised just how horrible they were being, but that seems unlikely. One day I will confront the person. But even now when the phone pings that same feeling creeps back. So, in my eyes. I’m not ready yet. If I had advice for anyone in the same situation, it would be to not hide

Looking a little closer to home

o highlight just how unknowing the issue might be, the Guardian was contacted this week following an editorial on cyber-bullying. Relatively unbeknown to us, our Facebook page was accused of being the very thing we were trying to speak out against. To us, it was just people sharing an opinion – but to those impacted by the comments being made – it was being seen in a completely different light. It was an attack.

A brutal and callous attack which questioned the very motives and intentions of people in high positions of power within our community. Now, we will quite often post a question to our followers on social media regarding an issue that we feel they might want to speak out on. Sometimes this relates to the latest goings-on within the district, with issues such as crime levels, weather, local council or even sport. The intention is never to open an avenue where abuse can be hurtled from the comfort of a screen, but the

reality is that we are, in some ways, enabling. We don’t want to be enablers. We are an information sharing business which prides itself on being able to see both the positives and the negatives and to report them as fact through our various platforms. Our Facebook page is a huge connection to the community, but we won’t tolerate any threatening or bullying type behaviour on there. We will, however, continue to ask the questions that need to be asked without fear and without favour.

Prepare now for your retirement Retirement should be a happy time in one’s life. A chance to sing to the tune of your own music, the opportunity to relax and let the rigors of the usual working life pass you by. It’s an opportunity to take a break, take a holiday and enjoy the fruits of your yearsworth of labour. For most retirees, that’s the honest truth. And that’s what it’s all about. Well being experts have suggested that people will always tend to start life happy, only to see their sense of enjoyment and fun hit the downhill slide as they reach adult hood and enter into the real world where things aren’t probably quite as clear cut as what you might think with the stresses of life. It is no real shock though when you look at the pressure and stress that comes with raising a family, working long

hours and trying to prepare yourself for life once you’ve finished work. Once a person reaches 65 though, that enjoyment and fun is supposed to return and stick with you until the age of 85. It’s called the pattern of life, but it’s not that same walkway for everyone, so preparation

is the absolute key. Financial security is a huge must, but not the be-all and end-all – ultimately, it comes down to good health. A survey in America earlier this year suggested that 81 per cent of people who have retired said that health was the most important part of them being happy.

For a lot of people, it can be hard thinking about retirement, especially when it is a way off, but setting and working towards a goal for your retirement today will help improve your lifestyle choices later. Yet, as the adage goes, if you don’t know where you are going, how will you know when you get there? Retirement is no longer the traditional ceasing of work aged 65 and leading a life of leisure. The new definition of retirement is being able to do what you want, when you want, and how you want. This can often comprise a fulfilling combination of quality leisure, satisfying work and self-improvement. Taking the time to contemplate what gives you meaning and purpose, what makes you happy, and the legacy that you wish to leave behind. It’s

paramount that you consider where health, work, family, leisure and your home fit into this equation. Once you have developed your sense of direction, then consider how your finances can help support you in achieving your goals. The laid back and carefree nature of a district like Ashburton makes it a strong potential location for anyone looking at living a quieter life. Things aren’t quite as fast-paced in our little part of the world, but they are quick enough that it doesn’t feel like everything is going in slow motion. With a wide-ranging number of recreational opportunities available, more and more people are choosing this little part of the world to set down some roots and call home while they step away from the working world.

Want to be treated like gold? The SuperGold Card is for eligible seniors and veterans, recognising the contribution you make to New Zealand society. The card gives you access to discounts and offers from a wide range of businesses, government-funded free off-peak public transport concessions, services and discounts from your local council. The back of the card indicates whether you are entitled to New Zealand Superannuation (NZS), the Veteran’s Pension and/or Community Services Card. The card does not contain any personal information other than your name, client and card numbers, and any of these entitlements. There are two versions of the card; an S-branded SuperGold Card and a V-branded Veteran SuperGold Card.

Who can get a SuperGold Card? You are eligible to receive a SuperGold Card if you are: 65 years or over and legally and ordinarily resident in New Zealand; under 65 years and receive the Non-Qualified Spouse or Partner rate of NZ Super or Veteran’s Pension, under 65 years and currently receive the Veteran’s Pension. If you are not legally and

ordinarily resident in New Zealand, you will not qualify to receive a card – “ordinarily resident” means someone who is normally and lawfully resident in New Zealand and intends to stay here. Is there an expiry date on the SuperGold Card? From May, 2010, SuperGold-only cards (those without Community Services

Card entitlement) no longer have an expiry date. If you have a SuperGold-only card issued before this date, that has now expired. The only cards with an expiry date are combo cards. Combo cards double as both a Community Services Card and SuperGold Card. They will have the letters CSC on the back of the card, and EXP to indicate the expiry date of the card. These cards have an expiry date because entitlement to CSC can change over time and clients are reassessed for eligibility at least every three years. How does the Community Services Card work with the SuperGold Card? If you have a current Community Services Card at the time you are granted NZ Super, your current Community Services Card

can be used to its expiry date, but you will need to re-apply when it expires. NZ Super is counted as income and we need you to update your income details. If you are successful when you re-apply for a Community Services Card, a new SuperGold Card/Community Services Card combo card will be issued to you with the initials CSC on the back. Please note the expiry date on the back of your card as this can range from one to three years, depending on your personal financial circumstances. Your new combo card replaces your Community Services Card and can be used for both health subsidies and SuperGold Card discounts. See page 15 for businesses who proudly support SuperGold Card.

Assisting disabled people to improve their lives

Natural arthritis aid and circulation booster

Aspire Canterbury is a not-for-profit community-focused organisation committed to meeting the needs of older people and disabled people with mobility issues. Their aim is to assist people in making informed decisions about accessing services or choosing products that will assist them in their daily lives.

Exercise while sitting watching TV or reading. It’s so easy and gives so much relief. Twelve years ago when a lady from Te Horo devised a means of relieving her husband’s severe arthritic pain, stiff joints and swollen ankles, she didn’t anticipate the demand that would ensue for her Aircycle. The inflatable cushion, shaped like a pair of feet, allowed her husband to exercise his ankle, knee and hip joints, wrists, fingers, arms and shoulders while sitting. It was so effective an arthritis educator requested more be made for other sufferers. As word spread, orders flowed and now it’s used by thousands of people here and overseas. The gentle exercises not only help aching joints but hugely improve circulation in legs, feet and hands. Users report swollen ankles, night cramps and restless legs greatly improved.

Opinion 20 Ashburton Guardian

Saturday, November 24, 2018

www.guardianonline.co.nz

OUR VIEW

Are many of the ‘500’ jobs entry level? I

t’s quite remarkable how long it can take for news to reach the outer extremities of our own boundaries. On Thursday night the phone ran hot. Had I seen that there were 500 jobs available in Ashburton and it was going to cost our local economy more than $16 million unless we could fill them? And, why hadn’t the Guardian run the story when almost every other news outlet in the country was? I had two simple answers to both questions. Yes, I was aware, and we weren’t running anything because we ran the same story on the front page of the Guardian

three weeks ago. This wasn’t ground-breaking, new news. It had been in the public sphere for a while and just highlights how, at times, unattached this district can be to those who live outside of our boundaries. With a low unemployment rate and so many jobs available, the

viewing does look pretty grim if you are to believe the numbers. In search of some confirmation of the figures being quoted – a quick job search was undertaken on one of the more popular advertising portals. On Trade Me right now there are pretty close to 130 jobs available when you put Ashburton into the search function. That’s a lot of jobs, but not many of them are what you would call entry-level type employment. Most want specific experience in a trade or skill before they would even consider an application. And many were that specialist

that their target market would be very small. So, while that is a lot of jobs, even if it’s just the 130-odd on Trade Me, a sudden influx of people to the district isn’t exactly going to fill the majority of them unless, for some remarkable reason, they miraculously fill a good portion of the requirements set out by the businesses advertising. Many of the reactions to the news on Thursday evening were focused on the negative and attacked the Ashburton township – which is easy for those who live in the North Island, and who have no actual understanding of what is available in our region, to do.

To us, it might not seem like much, but to an outsider who is looking in, what might be found could be seen as quite impressive because this district does in fact offer a little bit of everything for everyone. There are not many places in this country where you can ski on a mountain and then be standing on a beach with the sand between your toes within an hour and a half. These recreational offerings available should be enough to draw anyone in. And, with so many jobs available at the moment, let’s just hope they do eventually come.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Saturday, November 24, the 328th day of 2018. There are 37 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On November 24, 1963, Jack Ruby shot and mortally wounded Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of President John F Kennedy, in a scene captured on live television. On this date: In 1859, British naturalist Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species, which explained his theory of evolution by means of natural selection. In 1917, nine members of the Milwaukee police department and two civilians were killed when a bomb exploded inside a police station. In 1941, the US Supreme Court, in Edwards v. California, unanimously struck down a California law prohibiting people from bringing impoverished non-residents into the state. In 1944, during World War Two, US bombers based on Saipan attacked Tokyo in the first raid against the Japanese capital by land-based planes. In 1947, a group of writers, producers and directors that became known as the Hollywood Ten were cited for contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions about alleged Communist influence in the movie industry. In 1959, Fifteen people died when the coastal freighter Holmglen foundered off the South Canterbury coast. The cause of the tragedy was never established. In 1969, Apollo 12 splashed down safely in the Pacific. In 1971, a hijacker calling himself Dan Cooper parachuted from a Northwest Orient Airlines 727 over the Pacific Northwest after receiving $200,000 in ransom; his fate remains unknown. In 1985, the hijacking of an Egyptair jetliner parked on the ground in Malta ended violently as Egyptian commandos stormed the plane. Fifty-eight

Playing the blame game P

ike River and the CTV building – then and now. Both these now notorious NZ landmarks are much in the news; in fact they have seldom been out of it since the tragedies by which they are best known befell them. Twenty-nine miners died in the Pike River mine explosion on November 19, 2010 and one hundred and fifteen people were killed at the CTV building when it collapsed in an earthquake on February 22, 2011. Since those two dates, the families of the victims have been involved, not only in a determined effort to recover, at first, the bodies, but later, only the remains, of their loved ones, but also a relentless search for a guilty party they can blame for the loss of those loved ones. It has to be said, that desire for revenge seems never to have been far from the surface. Someone must bear responsibility for both tragedies. Understandable as that may be, that both these disasters have long-since become inextricably involved in political wrangling has added greatly to the heartbreak suffered by those lucky enough not to have been at either catastrophic location on the day of disasters but can never forget their family members who were. For years the National Government wrestled with the problem of how to get, safely, in and out of the doomed mine to retrieve, initially, the bodies of those killed but, more recently, only the bones. Throughout these years it has been clear and inarguable that, to get to the scene of the calamity was always going to be an extremely dangerous undertaking, one that could, without strenuous precautions in place, lead easily to further, needless, loss of life. And so the position remains; despite pre-election, exaggerated promises to the still-mourning families that the new government would take the bull by the horns, force their way into the mine and collect the remains – raising unrealistic and false hopes in

the process, a reality check soon showed the less aware members of the in-coming regime, that re-entry into the Pike River mine would be just as fraught now as it has been ever since the explosion nine years ago. At one stage, in the run-up to last year’s election, it seemed publicity-conscious Winston Peters might even be planning, heroically, to lead the charge and single-handedly collect and then return, the remains to their grieving families. Not surprisingly, as the day drew nearer, he had second thoughts. Perhaps it wasn’t after all, he reasoned, necessary to go that extreme in the search for votes. No doubt there were those who were keen to see him try. The role of Pike River Minister, has been taken over by Andrew Little, appointed by our creaky coalition government to “bring closure” to the Pike River saga. Little has been clear from the start of his mission that he is looking, particularly, for that guilty party as well as the opportunity to return the remains to the families. He clearly has Peter Whittall, CEO at Pike River from October 2, 2010 until the day of the explosion on November 19, in his sights. That Whittall inherited a culture of inefficiency and negligence at the mine cannot be denied. Many aspects of the working of the facility were not only slipshod but also dangerous, apparently evident to anyone who had spent, and was spending, anytime below ground. There was not even an easily-reached escape door to be used in an emergency – such as an explosion elsewhere in the mine. Whether Whittall was em-

ployed to correct all these inadequacies remains unknown but, that he had only been in office for six weeks, would suggest a great deal was expected of him if he were. He has always claimed to have no feelings of guilt but plenty of commentators and mine experts have come up with reasons why he should. Thus, Little makes it clear he wishes – as, vehemently, do the survivors’ families – to have Whittall extradited from Australia where, these days he runs a motel, and have him brought before a New Zealand court on charges of manslaughter. Only then can the muchdelayed “blame game” swing into action. A scapegoat will have been found. For that scenario to develop fully, however, it will still be necessary to have the “bodies” as evidence of Whittall’s apparent criminal failure to make the decisions that would have ensured the catastrophe would never have occurred. It may, however, still be the case that Little is still only going through the motions as he knows, full well, that no-one is likely to enter the Pike River mine in his lifetime – and those of the survivors – while the mine remains a volatile and entirely unpredictable environment. In an earlier disaster at the Strongman mine in 1967, when nineteen miners were killed in a very similar explosion, after a month of searching for bodies and remains, the mine was sealed for eternity and the sum of £250,000 – a huge amount then – was paid to the victims’ families by the then Government. Fifty years later a fine monument was erected at the site and the names of those who died recorded in perpetuity. I urge strongly that the same solution should be employed at Pike River and the unseemly political squabbling and the search for a culprit brought to a speedy end. And much the same can be said of the CTV building collapse,

where the hunt for a villain – preferably the head of the firm that built it, Alan Reay – be found guilty of “dereliction of duty”, or some such term and be sent to prison for many years. Presumably, that too, will “bring closure” to the families of the deceased. Reay has already faced one hostile tribunal and emerged unscathed but that will never do for those who are determined to blame him for the catastrophic failure of his building to withstand the force of a 6.2 earthquake, aka an Act of God. That the building in question, completed in 1985, had been duly signed off by an army of council and independent architects and their acolytes, seems, conveniently, to have been ignored by those hell-bent on putting Reay behind bars. Yes, justice must be done but it must, always, “be seen to be done”. Finally, the mind turns to the Erebus disaster of 1979 – thirtynine years ago next Wednesday, November 28,1979 – when two hundred and fifty-seven passengers and crew were killed when an Air New Zealand DC10, Flight 901, sightseeing plane flew directly into Mt Erebus killing all on board. That the pilots were following a course they were not aware had been changed the night before did not prevent the cause of the crash being blamed on “pilot error” and that despite Justice Mahon’s famous comment that he had been fed a “litany of lies” by many of those who had appeared before him at the subsequent Royal Commission. The aftermath of national disasters can never be an exact science but, in the end, the inevitable must be accepted and then we all, these days, move on.

Mortgage lending curbs may loosen The Reserve Bank may ease mortgage lending restrictions at next week’s financial stability review as credit growth declines and house prices stabilise. The central bank introduced the loan-to-value restrictions in 2013 in a bid to douse an overheated housing market. At the time, almost a third of new lending was at a high LVR, heightening risk to the wider sector. It eased those restrictions earlier this year when housing market pressures showed signs of abating. “When there is no nail to bang you stop swinging the hammer. The Reserve Bank is afforded scope to cut LVR rules by the easing in the housing market,” said BNZ chief economist Tony Alexander. Currently, only 15 per cent of new loans to owner-occupiers can have deposits of less than 20 per cent. Just 5 per cent of loans to property investors can have deposits of less than 35 per cent. High LVR lending is now at about 9.1 per cent of total lending, Reserve Bank statistics show. House prices have stabilised with the latest Real Estate Institute of New Zealand’s index showing national prices rose 3.8 per cent in

October from a year earlier. Mortgage lending has been hovering at an annual growth rate of 6 per cent for the past year. It was 9.1 per cent in September 2016. In a recent speech, deputy governor Geoff Bascand said the LVR restrictions were introduced to address elevated risks in the housing market. “We keep LVR settings under regular review. The question we are assessing in the upcoming financial stability report is whether the same restrictions are needed in the current environment,” he said. Westpac Banking Corp senior

bank prudence, investor wariness and affordability constraints – and these are expected to see the market remain contained. Given this outlook, we expect that the RBNZ will ease loan-to-value ratio restrictions at the November FSR, but continued caution should see settings remain ‘tight’ for some time,” said ANZ Bank New Zealand economists. The general view is that the speed limit could be lifted to 20 per cent for owner-occupiers and the effective LVR cap on investor lending could increase to 70 per cent. Not everyone agrees, however.

economist Michael Gordon says the central bank’s financial stability concerns have eased and the curbs will probably be loosened. “The LVRs are no longer having to do all the heavy lifting,” he said. According to Gordon, changes to banking practices, the adoption of the responsible lending code, foreign buyer restrictions and the extension of the bright line tax test are also having an impact on the housing market. Economists who think the RBNZ will ease the curbs agree any moves will be gradual. A “number of headwinds are acting on the market, including

“We don’t think that loan to value restrictions will be eased any further next week. Admittedly, household debt to income ratios have remained stable which would provide scope for an easing. But house price inflation hasn’t slowed any further and house prices keep rising at a faster pace than household incomes,” said Marcel Thieliant, economist for Capital Economics. Mortgage rates have fallen in recent weeks which should support the housing market. Meanwhile, the recent slump in dairy prices will weigh on farm incomes and increases the risk of a further increase in defaults in the sector, he added ASB Bank chief economist Nick Tuffley says it’s a line call. The risks to the financial system have reduced further since the RBNZ decided to ease the restrictions a year ago and house price growth is moderating overall. “There are good reasons for the RBNZ choosing to take its time,” Tuffley said, noting that low mortgage rates are already encouraging credit growth. By loosening the restrictions further, the RBNZ could spur on high-risk lending at the same time, he said. – NZME

sales in the 15 weeks to November 11 were 8.4 per cent higher on a constant exchange rate basis. Same-store sales rose 6.3 per cent. The firm’s shares jumped 13 per cent to $2.81, taking their gain this year to 16 per cent. Christchurch-based Kathmandu bought Oboz in April for $US60 million to diversify its product range and expand its geographic spread. The group got about two-thirds of its sales in Australia in the year through July, with Oboz also contributing $15.9 million to the group total of $497.4 million. The group had 167 Kathmandu stores in Australia, New Zealand and the UK at that date. The business will pay a further

$US15 million if Oboz meets its 2018 earnings target. Chief executive Xavier Simonet said the company is pleased with the integration of Oboz into the wider group and demand the firm is still seeing for its core Kathmandu products. “We have achieved good sales growth leading into the key Christmas trading period, and we expect first-half profit to be strongly above last year,” he said in a statement. “As always, our first half-year result is highly dependent on the success of our summer sale.” Kathmandu noted that samestore sales in Australia were up 7.1 per cent, and were 5.2 per cent higher in New Zealand. – NZME

Court finds real estate agents fixed prices The Court of Appeal has overturned an earlier ruling, finding some Hamilton real estate agents colluded with their rivals to fix prices. The Commerce Commission successfully appealed a High Court ruling last year dismissing claims that an arrangement between Hamilton agencies amounted to price fixing. The Lodge and Monarch agencies and their respective directors Jeremy O’Rourke and Brian King were the hold-outs on a 2015 case brought by the antitrust regulator when realtors agreed to pass on increased Trade Me Group property listing fees in response to the on-

line auction site’s market strength. Justices Raynor Asher, Brendan Brown and Denis Clifford yesterday upheld the appeal, saying discretion within the arrangements on how much of Trade Me’s fees to pass on didn’t skirt around collusion. “There is no necessity for there to be an agreement or understanding that an absolute position as to price must be maintained for there to be anti-competitive conduct,” the judgment said. “Accepting the arrangement was a starting position, and there was room for exceptions, the arrangement or understanding would still plainly affect price

adversely for customers.” Lodge and Monarch were among 13 national and regional real estate agencies accused of fixing prices in 2013 and 2014, most of whom acknowledged wrongdoing. Another eight firms received warnings from the commission. The courts have imposed almost $19 million in penalties so far, with the head offices of Barfoot, Harcourts, LJ Hooker and Ray White fined $9.8 million collectively while Bayleys was fined $2.2 million. The Appeal Court ruling declared the realtors breached the Commerce Act and remitted the case back to the High Court to set the penalty. – NZME

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

When Sam Cullimore decided to take on a running challenge, he thought he might as well go big. So he didn’t sign up for a marathon, he went straight to an ultramarathon instead, and now he is set to return for his third shot at that most gruelling of events – the Kepler Challenge – next weekend. This time around though, there is an added twist. The Ashburton rural volunteer firefighter is set to cover the 60km mountain run through Fiordland National Park while wearing his firefighting gear – his overalls and his helmet. But even with the added weight and warmth of the non-traditional running attire, he hoped to finish not far off his past best times. For Cullimore, there is also an

added incentive to this year’s Kepler. He was doing it to raise money for a cause dear to both his own heart, and that of his fellow firefighters. “I’d done the Kepler twice, and then last year one of the guys in the brigade had a family member who was helped through Ronald McDonald House, so I thought I’d better do something for them, so I thought I’ll run 60km in my fire gear,” Cullimore said. He is excited about what lies ahead, but admitted it was easy to just talk about it – come race day it’d be a different story. The Kepler Challenge was tough physically, but the mental side was the biggest hurdle. In his first two attempts at the Kepler, Cullimore finished in under 10 hours, and he was hoping to cross the finish line in under 10

hours again this year. It is a long time spent putting one foot in front of the other over some tough terrain, and Cullimore said the key is to not think too much about what you were doing. “You run on auto pilot and look around and then just think about stuff that’s not related to what you’re doing,” Cullimore said. A few weeks ago he complete the Mission Mt Somers trail running event in his fire gear and actually beat his time from the year before by about 20 minutes, despite the fact he was wearing fire gear for this year’s event. Cullimore’s training has involved heading for the hills three or four times a week and simply running, for anywhere between 10km and 40km at a time. A former top young cyclist, with a bronze medal to his name from

track nationals when he was an under-17 rider, Cullimore traded his bike in for running shoes a few years ago and has not looked back. Now, he is using his passion and his ability for running to help others by using the Kepler Challenge run as a way to raise money, which had been an added incentive to make it to the starting line. When it was all done and dusted and you crossed the finish line in an event like the Kepler, the feeling was hard to describe, Cullimore said. “You’re happy. It’s a really weird mix of emotions. “You’re exhausted, but you’re proud,” he said. “It’s interesting running in the fire gear, because in a way it’s motivating. “You know you can’t quit.” Cullimore said that he had

wanted to be a firefighter all his life. Aged 16, he turned up at the Ashburton Fire Station one day after school and tried to join, but missed out, so instead he joined Methven Land Search and Rescue. A couple of years later, the opportunity arose to join the Ashburton Rural Fire Force, and he jumped at it. Being a volunteer firefighter is now a huge part of his life. The Ashburton urban and rural firefighters are like one big family, he said. An apprentice engineer at his family’s business – Cullimore Engineering – Cullimore said his family was also right behind him in his running. His parents would be there as his support crew next weekend, and sister Amy Cullimore was doing the 27km grunt event.

■ INDOOR BOWLS

In brief

Unbeaten pair take Christmas tourney

Perth inspires Phoenix Wellington Phoenix coach Mark Rudan takes comfort in the fact his team are playing to the same script as Perth Glory. Now they just have to do it to the same high standard as the A-League pacesetters when they host Adelaide United today. The seventh-placed Phoenix are coming off successive losses and will need considerable improvement if they’re to challenge the visitors, who sit one place and one point above them. - NZME

Hughton not interested

Hamish Nish keeps a close eye on his bowl at the annual MSA Indoor Bowls Section Christmas Pairs on Thursday night. The competition saw 20 teams vying for the overall prize over two nights of play on both Tuesday and Thursday with competitive bowls played throughout both sessions considering the out-ofseason nature of the tournament. After the seven matches only the Rakaia duo of Matt Markham (skip) and Michael Lawson emerged unbeaten, registering wins in all of their matches. They ﬁnished clear of the MSA pairing of Maurice and Ann Sunbeam who placed second. Next week will see the ﬁnal tournament in Ashburton for the year when the Ashburton Indoor Bowls Association hosts its annual triples tournament at the stadium on McNally Street.

Brighton and Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton has distanced himself from the vacant Ireland manager’s job, saying he is happy continuing his work at the English Premier League club. Ireland parted ways with Martin O’Neill and his assistant Roy Keane on Wednesday after they failed to win a competitive match during 2018. - AP

New start for Gunners Unai Emery believes Arsenal were in decline towards the end of Arsene Wenger’s 22-year reign and “had to change things”. The Gunners will resume English Premier League action following the international break with a trip to Bournemouth, looking to extend a 16-match unbeaten run in all competitions. - PA

In brief

■ CRICKET

Cricketers’ eyes all skyward Mid Canterbury’s senior cricketers will be looking skyward this morning, hoping that the rain clouds stay away to allow them to take to the field again after an unexpectedly long break. Coldstream are set to host the Tech Stags, and Lauriston are set to host neighbours Methven, in today’s third round of Mid Canterbury Cricket’s Pritchard Shield competition. But with more rain in the forecast for the next couple of days, just whether the games

low-scoring affairs. Defending Pritchard Shield champions Lauriston, who also won the Muirhead Rosebowl and Studholme Shield last season, launched their 2018/19 Pritchard Shield campaign with a 24-run win over the Tech Stags. In the other game in the opening round Coldstream beat Methven by four wickets. Methven batted first and, like Lauriston, posted a relatively low total of just 78 all out for Cold-

will get played was a case of wait and see. There was no club cricket last weekend due to the long weekend, and the week before that rain washed out any hope of games getting under way, meaning it has been three weeks since a ball has been bowled. Only one round of the 45over competition has actually got off the ground – round one where two of the country sides picked up opening wins in two

stream to chase, thanks largely to the work of Coldstream bowler Jay Houston who took 5/17. Coldstream got there, but lost six wickets along the way. All four sides were likely to be missing some key players for today’s matches, too, with some away on Mid Canterbury duties, with Mid Canterbury playing South Canterbury in their first two-day Hawke Cup match at the Ashburton Domain, starting this morning.

Improvement needed Black Caps captain Kane Williamson has stressed improvement if his side are to build upon their famous test victory over Pakistan this week. The dramatic four-run victory gave New Zealand their first test win away from home since 2014, but the fact they needed a Pakistan batting collapse to accomplish it has left Williamson pushing for more in the second test which starts in Dubai tonight. “It is important we look to build on a number of parts going into the next game for sure. We’ve got a lot more tough cricket to come and it’s important we learn from some parts of this game that we will need to build on.” - NZME

Healy stars for Aussies

■ TENNIS

Allenton on the cusp of first round glory Allenton has the chance to wrap up the first round of the Mid Canterbury Tennis A grade competition this weekend. With four wins from the first four round rounds so far this season, Allenton has been the team to beat, and there’s only one team left that could possibly achieve that feat, and that’s Hampstead. Hampstead will be up against it though, having only taken out

one win so far this season. Methven has been the season’s other top performer, picking up three wins and a loss – against Allenton – so far this season, and today will see the Methven side taken on Tinwald in what is likely to be a tight match. Tinwald has won two and lost two so far this season. The day’s other match pits Southern against a Fairton side

that picked up its first win of the season the last time the competition was on the courts, against Hampstead. That last round was two weeks ago though, with last weekend having been a long weekend with no tennis. When round one is completed, round two will kick straight into gear next weekend, on what will be a special day at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre.

A grade action will hit the courts at the earlier than usual time of 11am, with the Christchurch premier grade set to be played in Ashburton that day. It’s the second year in a row a round of the Christchurch premier grade will be played at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre, and those games will follow the Mid Canterbury A grade games at 1.30pm.

Australia’s women are through to their fifth straight World Twenty20 final, with Alyssa Healy shaking off a concussion to again be Australia’s best in a 71-run flogging of West Indies. Overcoming a week-long battle to play in Antigua, Healy claimed her fourth player-of-the-match award in five games, top-scoring in Australia’s 5-142 before the hosts were rolled for 71. She then backed it up with three dismissals with the gloves, including a nifty run-out to begin the rot before Ellyse Perry claimed two early wickets to finish 2-2 off two overs. - AAP

■ PUKEKOHE

Sleeping Beauty to awaken Matamata trainers Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott will thrust in-form mare Sleeping Beauty into the deep end at Pukekohe today when she contests the Gr.2 Dunstan Feeds Auckland Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1400m). The Sir Peter Vela-owned mare will take on Group company for the first time in the fillies and mares feature and her trainers believe the weather will dictate her chances. “If the rain arrives, which is expected, it brings her into a competitive part of the race,” Scott said. “She’s in really good form and her last two starts have been personal bests for her. “She would have to be right at the top of her game to be competitive, but if she gets

those track conditions to suit, it brings her into the race.” Scott said he was pleased with the daughter of Rip Van Winkle and was keen to see her add further black-type to her Listed placing. Sleeping Beauty has won eight of her 17 career starts, predominantly on rainaffected tracks, and will be ridden today by Sam Spratt from barrier 12. “She is usually a forward runner, so we expect her to be thereabouts and if the rain does arrive, barrier 12 might not be a bad place to be drawn,” Scott said. “She has raced on a little longer than we thought, but she has thrived and we thought we would just keep stepping her up.” Stablemate Divine Duke will not run after suffering a minor foot issue. - NZME

In brief Schmidt call next week Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt has announced that he will be making a decision on his coaching future early next week. Schmidt’s contract with Ireland expires at the end of next year’s Rugby World Cup, as does that of All Blacks coach Steve Hansen, who has also said he’ll be making a decision on his future before the end of the year. Schmidt would be one of the leading candidates to replace Hansen as All Blacks coach if he decided to step down, and he said it would be a relief to finally make a decision about his future. - NZME

Jones keeping quiet Eddie Jones claims the Wallabies will relish being written off ahead of their clash with his England side at Twickenham. Fifteen years to the day his Australian team were downed in the World Cup final in Sydney by the country he now works for, Jones was in conciliatory mood towards opposite number Michael Cheika. In previous encounters, Jones has happily tried to provoke a reaction with a furious Cheika once claiming his former team-mate was in danger of tarnishing his legacy. But Jones has refused to put the boot in to a struggling Wallabies side. - AAP

Set for the challenge By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

When Lincoln University runs onto the paddock next season eying up a fifth straight Christchurch club rugby title, Rakaia man Craig Dunlea will be monitoring the players’ every move. Beside him will be Alex Robertson, and together the two of them have formed the side’s new coaching partnership. It is a big job they have taken on, and they know it, but they aren’t overwhelmed by the challenge and are looking forward to sinking their teeth into it. “You probably don’t get many better club sides around,” Dunlea said. “There’s obviously a bit of pressure with it, when they have won four on the trot, but that’s what it’s about. “You’ve got to challenge yourself.” A former rugby development officer for the Mid Canterbury Rugby Union who played high level rugby in Wales in his playing days, Dunlea coached the Mid Canterbury Heartland Championship side for three years. After that came to an end at the completion of the 2016 season, he didn’t really know what

his coaching future held. “I wasn’t really going to do anything. “I was actually considering giving it away to spend a bit more time with the family, and hunting,” Dunlea said. “But as soon as I was back on the grass, I just really enjoyed it, and that was it.” The opportunity arose to help coach the 2017 Canterbury Country side, and it was just a short campaign, so Dunlea decided to give it a crack. With head coach Nigel Smith, and Dunlea and Robertson rounding out the coaching staff, Canterbury Country had a stellar season, beating Canterbury Metro for the first time in a good decade. Both Dunlea and Robertson have pretty good coaching credentials. Dunlea led Mid Canterbury to a Lochore Cup win in the Heartland Championship last year and coached the Heartland Under-19 team for two seasons in the Jock Hobbs national tournament, while Robertson had been cocoach of the Darfield senior side that had been there or thereabouts in both the Ellesmere and combined competitions in recent

seasons, as well as coach of the Ellesmere team. He also worked for England Rugby as a coach developer and community rugby coach while part of the Harlequins Academy DPP programme. Robertson spent time shadowing the Mid Canterbury side during Dunlea’s tenure, and that was how the pair met. They then found themselves working together with Canterbury Country, but it wasn’t until Dunlea was walking into his interview for the Lincoln job as Robertson was walking out, that the pair realised they were both going for the job. They are excited to be working together. Dunlea said Robertson was an astute and technical coach, and while he would take on the head coach role and look after the backs and attack with the Lincoln University side, Dunlea would be assistant coach and look after the forwards and defence. Lincoln University had dominated the Christchurch premier scene in recent seasons, and for good reason. Within the squad they had a few current Crusaders, with Scott Barrett, Mitch Dunshea and Jor-

dan Taufua among those on Lincoln’s books, and a handful of players who had been asked to trial for the New Zealand Under20s. “It’s giving guys opportunities to develop, because there’s obviously guys there that will push on to higher honours. “It’s giving them the opportunity to express themselves and have fun,” Dunlea said. How much of a part some of the big-name players would get to play in Lincoln’s 2019 campaign would depend on those other commitments. If he got a chance to work with them, Dunlea would be happy, but if he didn’t, that didn’t matter either. “It’s a great opportunity to work with some pretty talented footy players and that’s the thing I’m most excited about, just the calibre of the players you get to deal with,” Dunlea said. Dunlea said the bar was set high at Lincoln University results wise, so while there was pressure, there was also some great foundations already in place and it is now the job of himself and Robertson to keep the momentum going and try to add to the university side’s future success.

Under-fire All Blacks captain Kieran Read has opened up about the team’s inconsistent season – revealing what really happened in the dying minutes of the defeat to the Springboks in September. Read says an order to take a dropped goal in the dying minutes of the 36-34 loss was ignored by playmaker and first-five Beauden Barrett. The decision to run the ball instead resulted in Damian McKenzie being dispossessed, gifting the South Africans a rare Rugby Championship victory in New Zealand. - NZME

In Italian colours Jayden Hayward emerged alongside Beauden Barrett in Taranaki dreaming, like so many Kiwi kids, of one day wearing the black jersey. This weekend in Rome he fulfills a very different, but equally fulfilling, goal when he proudly challenges Barrett and the All Blacks. Raised in Hawera, he teamed up with Dane Coles, TJ Perenara and Barrettafter joining the Hurricanes two years later. This week he is preparing to oppose those former team-mates in his 11th test for Italy. “It will be interesting to see them on the field and catch up with them after and have a beer or two,” the 31-yearold says. - NZME

In defence of Read New Zealand coach Steve Hansen has leapt to the defence of his captain Kieran Read in the wake of criticism of recent performances by the 117-cap veteran. Hansen, at a news conference ahead of their fixture against Italy, hit out at reports suggesting the 33-yearold loose forward may no longer be good enough for the Test arena. “Some of those articles are ridiculous and been written by people that have never been in our environment, we’ve never seen them at a rugby game. He’s going well. He’s in the best shape he’s been all year,” Hansen said. - NZME

In brief

■ MOTOR RACING

McLaughlin wary of history By Laine CLark It will forever be known as one of Supercars’ greatest finales. But Ford’s Scott McLaughlin reckons he still hasn’t seen replays of his gut-wrenching 2017 season finish after returning to Newcastle to win his maiden championship this weekend. McLaughlin, 25, has arrived at the final round Newcastle 500 with his first title in his sights, holding a 14 point series lead over Holden rival Shane van Gisbergen in the closest season finish in a decade. However, McLaughlin is not taking anything for granted after spectacularly having the 2017 title snatched from his grasp by van Gisbergen’s team-mate Jamie Whincup last year. McLaughlin appeared to have an historic Supercars title in the bag when he held a 78 point championship lead over Whincup and claimed pole for the season’s final race in Newcastle last year. However, history shows Whincup came from the clouds to upset McLaughlin and deny the flying Kiwi his first Supercars crown in dramatic scenes. Not that McLaughlin has watched it since. “I haven’t watched that race at all. “I’ve started watching a snippet of it and gone ‘nah, can’t watch it’,” McLaughlin said. “I think it’s just a normal driver thing. “It’s one where I just don’t need

Frosty switching camps The worst kept secret in Supercars has been confirmed – but it will still be hard to stomach for Ford fans. Former series champion and 2014 Bathurst winner Mark Winterbottom has confirmed he will switch from Ford to Holden in 2019 after signing with Charlie Schwerkolt’s Irwin Racing. Winterbottom, 37, had been linked to a move since announcing earlier that he would end his 13-year association with Ford powerhouse Tickford Racing. Yet Blue Oval fans will still find it hard to stomach that Ford poster boy Winterbottom will link with Holden next year. - AAP

Holdsworth sets pace Dumped Holden driver Lee Holdsworth has upstaged a star studded Supercars field to top the timesheets for opening practice at the final round in Newcastle. Holdsworth, 35, has hit the ground running at the Newcastle 500, clocking one minute, 10:82 seconds on the tough street circuit ahead of Shane van Gisbergen and David Reynolds. Series leader, Ford’s Scott McLaughlin, was a distant 15th and Supercars great Craig Lowndes fifth fastest. - AAP

Formula E in Auckland Kiwi driver Scott McLaughlin has never watched last year’s dramatic Supercars finale. to watch it, I know what happened.” He still can’t bear to see a replay but McLaughlin reckons he learned plenty from last year’s finale as he prepares to make history as the 25th Supercars series champion. Asked what he’d taken out of his 2017 defeat, McLaughlin said: “Just never give up. “I was proud of how we just

kept coming back through and were there right to the end. “We were champion there for a little bit and then had that little drama, but just never give up and press on.” McLaughlin has been one to watch for the championship since becoming the youngest driver in Supercars history to win a race when he claimed line honours at the New Zealand round in

Pukekohe in 2013 aged just 19. McLaughlin hopes to be finally rewarded after being the year’s dominant driver, winning a championship-high eight races and claiming 13 poles. Rival van Gisbergen has savoured seven victories and five poles in 2018. The Newcastle 500 will be decided by 95-lap races today and tomorrow. - AAP

A consortium is angling to bring Formula E racing to Auckland. If they succeed, it will see all-electric cars flying around a downtown CBD circuit at speeds of up to 220km per hour. The consortium, fronted by NZ Innovation council CEO Craig Cotton, says rights will cost $14 million a year for five years. He’s angling for central and local government to chip in. A study by SMG YouGov says the race would bring in $150m a year. “The GST alone would cover costs,” Cotton says. - NZME

When Naz and his family turned to The Salvation Army at their greatest time of need, we were able to help get them back on their feet.

Clean and tidy presentation, good communication skills and reliable work habits are essential. A current forklift licence or the ability to obtain one would be an advantage. This part time position may suit a semi-retired tradesperson.

CASUAL SECURITY OFFICERS

All applicants please email through expressions of interest along with a CV to: lynnebarnett@alliedsecurity.co.nz

Christmas for Naz and his family wasn’t a time of celebration, but a time of struggle—to have food on the table, to pay rent and other bills, to keep the family together when hope seemed lost.

We require a physically fit person who enjoys working in a modern environment to undertake light maintenance and storeroom duties at our Supermarket premises.

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO SELL ABANDONED VEHICLE

Roles suit mature minded persons.

For teenager Naz, all he wanted for Christmas was a house for him and his family to live in, so they wouldn’t have to sleep in a van. And food, beds and things that many of us take for granted.

Storeroom/Maintenance Person

The successful applicant will need the following skills: • Class 2 licence and Forklift licence • Basic computer skills • Reliable • Be able to work in a team environment • Physically fit and able to lift

Applications - including cover letter and CV to:

COA (security guard clearance) preferable but not essential and training provided.

Many of us are thinking now about how we’d like to celebrate Christmas and maybe what we’d like to be under the tree for our families—like a new phone, toys for the children, a holiday in the sun or just some quality family time.

household finances better, by focusing on reducing debt and shopping smarter. And on Christmas Day, Naz and his family were able to celebrate something together for the first time in a while, thanks to a gift from the Sallies, as well as a food hamper for Christmas dinner. Today, things are looking brighter and better for Naz and his family. Their finances are finally stable, his mother is finishing her nursing training and Naz is about to embark on a career in the Navy. Please help Kiwis in need like Naz this holiday season, by supporting our Christmas Appeal. Together, we can give families in crisis a happier Christmas and a brighter future.

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

WordWheel

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You can love like a child, a parent, a concerned citizen, an adolescent. None of these is right or wrong, but it’s somehow helpful to be aware of what characterisation you’re inside. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Your exciting life is too involving to let trivial matters interrupt the flow. Even so, small pleasures aren’t trivial matters. The distinction will be key today. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Close relationships can become close by accident. But they can only stay close through decisions to do so. Good relationships involve honouring the commitment, choosing work, time and again. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): A person who doesn’t seem to be paying attention is just paying attention not to the thing you’d prefer. Figure out where the attention is going. Is this a loop of self-absorption? If so, run, don’t walk, away. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Feelings will burble up, asking to be tended to, however inconvenient that may seem. Take the emotional plunge. See what’s there. Yes, a little pain goes with it, but it’s over quickly. And then the healing begins. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Good news for all Virgos: Planning leads to happiness. And today you’re in just the mood to set your sites on the future, plunk down cash and dream through the days that lead up to the fun. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): If you were a cartoon character with an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other, your angel would get a lot more screen time today. Removing temptation from your vision gives the devil little to talk about. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): There are a great number of people who think along similar lines, enjoy the same music, love the same food. They just don’t happen to be in your immediate family. Branch out to the other 7.5 billion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Due to life’s interruptions and temporary complications, there are personal rituals that have fallen to the wayside. Consider bringing them back. You now have the space to commit. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Maybe it sounds flippant, but the phrase “who cares?” can also be liberating. Given that you’re not in charge of the entire world, it will feel right to limit your caring to the things you actually care about. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’ll have the choice of whether to purchase a thing or an event. While material possessions age and decay, memories age and solidify under the strong varnish of nostalgia. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Put learning to learn on the agenda. Also, thinking about thinking belongs there. If you know how to think about a thing, the action that follows will be an organic extension.
