Frustrated at lack of information By Susan Sandys

Rolling up P17
Residents in Ashburton’s north-east are frustrated at not receiving further information following a boil water notice. On Thursday evening last week the Ashburton District Council put out a boil water advisory for private bore holders in the area, categorised as properties and lifestyle blocks on the outskirts of Ashburton towards Ashburton Airport. The council advised high microbial contamination had been found in their water supply, and that there was also a concern about high levels of nitrates.
Nitrates can cause blue baby syndrome, and the advisory urged residents with bottle-fed infants under six months to use bottled water to make up their baby formula. Mother of two Rachel Summerfield has an 11-month-old daughter, Ileana, and four-year-old daughter, Lilly, and has been using bottled water since the notice came out. She said she would like more information from the council on what was causing the possible microbial contamination and high nitrates, and what would be done about it. For example, in the case of high nitrates, she wanted to
know if there would be a long-term plan to assess and manage the issue. “I think the biggest concern is we don’t really know what’s happening,” Summerfield said. She was following council’s advice and having the family’s water bore sampled and tested, and was also investigating buying a filter for nitrates, but understood this was expensive. “But if it’s what we have to do, we have to do it,” she said.

Manslaughter accused out on bail NZME A teenage driver charged with manslaughter has appeared in the Christchurch Youth Court. The 17-year-old Canterbury teen is also charged with reckless driving causing injury following the fleeing driver incident on October 22 in Christchurch. Kenneth McCaul, 64, died in the crash. The teenager didn’t enter a plea in the Youth Court yesterday. He was remanded on bail until an appearance in the High Court on November 8. The judge imposed bail conditions of no alcohol, drugs or entering licensed premises. McCaul was killed on October 22 when the car he was in was T-boned by the teens’ vehicle. The car had failed to stop for police and a four-minute pursuit began which included the vehicle running a red light, police have said. McCaul was driving to work early to secure a car park and had planned to sleep in his car before starting his shift at Christchurch Hospital. One of the passengers posted a video on social media from his hospital bed in the aftermath of
The car driven by a group of teenagers which was involved in a fatal accident in Christchurch last week.

McCaul’s car. “Then we hit the side of it ... the guy in the other car died. It’s rats.....” The teen driver had “all the pigs [police] outside his [hospital] room”, the teenager says in the
video, Stuff reported. Canterbury metro area commander Superintendent Lane Todd said the officers involved in the pursuit were receiving support from police. “The circumstances surrounding the incident are under investigation and as such we’re unable to release further details at this stage. “I want to offer my sincerest condolences to the loved ones of Mr McCaul.” Meanwhile, a Christchurch paramedic has spoken of his frustration at the behaviour of teenagers involved in a recent crash. A paramedic told Newstalk ZB’s Chris Lynch he attended a different crash in Rangiora two weeks ago where a teenager rolled their vehicle at high speed. He says the scene was immediately flooded with friends wanting to take photos for social media. Meanwhile, a research paper into people who flee police, released recently, has found they feel they will be treated as guilty anyway so carry on driving. As for youth, their lack of cognitive development was a “significant” factor as was risk taking and the want to elude police.

When farming sneezes, Mid Canty gets a cold By Linda Clarke
linda.c@theguardian.co.nz
The Ashburton District Council is expected to add its voice tomorrow to calls for a second round of consultation over controversial freshwater reforms. Proposed new rules have national bottom lines that local farmers say will cripple the district’s agricultural-based economy. Council is among those around the country making submissions and newly-elected members will view a draft document tomorrow, before authorising it to be sent to the Ministry for the Environment by the submission deadline of 5pm. Council is worried about the impact of the proposed reforms and the speed of change expected, though it agrees that improving the health of waterways is important. Farming, processing and support industries contributed $748 million to the district’s GDP in 2018, nearly 40 per cent of the total, but farming in the district would need to be less intensive to meet some proposed nitrate limits. Council is supporting calls by Federated Farmers for a second round of consultation, saying the initial six-week period was too short considering the long-term implications. Council is also concerned at the lack of economic assessment on the impact locally, with no Mid Canterbury scenarios modelled in the discussion document. “History has taught us that when farming sneezes, Ashburton District catches a cold.” The district’s agricultural and manufacturing industries averaged 2.7 per cent growth from 2000 to 2018, compared to national growth of 0.9 per cent. Employment growth in those industries averaged 1.2 per cent, compared to 0 nationally. “As a result any changes for these sec-
MILFORD DINING
tors will inherently ripple throughout our community.” Council wants a thorough, independent study to identify the economic and social impacts that the proposed freshwater statement would have on agriculture-dependent districts, like Ashburton. It is also worried about its people’s wellbeing, some of whom are already dealing with the stress of the cattle disease Mycoplasma bovis. Twenty-eight properties have had the disease here, with three currently under quarantine. It points to the 67 suicide deaths in the district between 2000 and 2015, a rate higher than the Canterbury and national average.
Council opposes the setting of national bottom line limits for DIN (dissolved inorganic nitrogen) and DRP (phosphorus) saying catchment-specific limits were better and took into account natural environmental contexts (such as E.coli from birds). It asks MfE to consult widely with the district in future on sustainable limits for nitrogen discharge. It also pointed to the significant work undertaken by the district and farmers as part of Canterbury Water Management Strategy, a programme that started 10 years ago and in Mid Canterbury includes the development of managed aquifer recharge, which is raising groundwater levels and improving water quality in areas.

Going green for rural NZ By Linda Clarke
linda.c@theguardian.co.nz
Mid Canterbury farmer David Clark is encouraging people to wear green to show their support for rural New Zealand. Clark will be among those wearing the colour green on November 14 in a peaceful march to Parliament and he’s urging others in the Ashburton District to adopt the colour that day, or wear green to the Ashburton A&P Show this weekend or to the Christchurch show next month. The Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers president will be accompanied to Wellington on November 14 by local dairy farmer Chris Ford. Clark said the protest had been organised by the conservation group 50 Shades of Green, which was primarily concerned about productive sheep and beef hill country land being sold to overseas companies who planned to plant trees. He said he was also concerned about the land sales and about other Government policies currently affecting farming. “So we are going to stand with them, support their concerns and stand up for rural New Zealand.” 50 Shades of Green chair Andy Scott said the group was hoping for a good turnout of people from the provinces, with representatives including farmers, bankers, stock agents, rural advocacy groups, suppliers and real estate people. Scott said the group’s message needed to be told to a larger audience. “The blanket planting of good farmland has reached crisis proportions. Add to that the water proposals, land use changes and the consistent campaign against rural businesses, we have a problem,” he said. “We’ll be telling our story to a city audience by coming to Wellington. The politicians aren’t listening to us so hopefully the general voters will.” The march will start from Civic Square at 11am on November 14, before heading to Parliament and arriving about 1pm. The group wants rural people to encourage their urban friends to join in and afterwards join them for a barbecue to facilitate a greater understanding of the issues facing farming. It wants Government to take a step back and try again with environmental policies that give farming communities a fair go.

Ashburton photographer Emmily Harmer is hoping to get men into the studio and showing off their moustaches. Harmer is hoping to get a number of men on board to get starting, progress and finished photographs as they take part in Movember, the fundraising movement based around raising awareness of men’s health issues. “I’m always thinking of ideas and I thought this was quite a cool one, it is hard getting men into the studio so why not incorporate something positive into it,” she said. “Normally 99 per cent of the time it is women organising and the men get dragged along. “It is an excuse to get guys in the studio and could be a cool series where the guys can have a bit of competition.” Harmer said she hoped to get businesses involved with the photographs, and to pull on the competitive strings of the men to see who can grow the best mo. Harmer said she would ask for donations alongside the photographs which would be put towards the Movember Foundation. The process would be as quick as possible, and Harmer said the progress shots halfway through

Thick smoke lingered in the city centre for several days.
Young worker’s blowtorch centre of Sky City probe NZME A teenager – possibly an apprentice – is believed to have accidentally left unattended the blowtorch that sparked the devastating SkyCity fire, bringing central Auckland to a standstill. A well-placed source told the Herald the teenager, who was working for a sub-contractor, was called for a smoko break and only remembered when he was away from the roof that he may have forgotten to turn off the gas blowtorch being used to help install waterproof membrane. The source understood he was returning to the roof to check the blowtorch but by then the fire had started. “The poor guy is in tatters ... he’s completely shattered.” The fire in the $700 million convention centre burned for days – and it is not yet certain what will become of the structure. It is understood part of the investigation will look at supervision and experience of the workers on the roof. SkyCity Entertainment Group’s chief executive Graeme Stephens said there were surveillance cameras operating in the precinct but he didn’t know how the fire started. He was however concerned about the worker who is alleged to have been involved. “We have been worried about that person. We don’t know who it is. There’s certainly no witch hunt from our side. We have a genuine concern for their mental health and wellbeing. “We’re not trying to find them and get them back. We don’t know the cause of the fire. We have concern for anyone involved. We’re absolutely of that view. We need to get to the cause, obviously.” Asked if any video footage was available that identified how the fire started, he said: “We have got our normal surveillance cameras in place.” It is unclear where the teenager is now or if he has been officially spoken to about the events of last Tuesday. A worker on the site told the Herald there were two young workers on the roof that day. Despite being young and often working on their own they seemed to have a fair bit of experience, he said. “From what we and what I saw ... they were skilled guys. I wouldn’t say that be-
cause they look young that they were necessarily apprentices. They might have been some of the more skilled guys on the team. “I know when they lay the roofing, they actually – the way they worked and the way that they did the roof – they looked like they were very skilled and that they’d [been] doing it for quite some time.” The worker said there were up to 15 CCTV cameras around the building but the ones on level five and six were not pointed at the roof entry. MPM Waterproofing Services general manager Andrew Pardington told the Herald that afternoon he had a team of up to 12 waterproofers at the convention centre when the blaze broke out. He had a debriefing with them afterwards but would not say what was discussed in regards to how the fire started. When asked specifically if a worker left a blowtorch on while having a break he said: “From my understanding that’s not what happened but there was a whole lot of conversation heard on site, but really it should be left to the investigating team to find out what happened.” According to a Herald source it was only once investigators went through surveillance camera footage that they discovered what happened. Yesterday morning Pardington refused to confirm or deny the allegation about how the fire started. He said he was unable to comment on the actions of his staff or the origin of the fire due to the ongoing investigations. “I really don’t have anything to add at the moment, unfortunately,” he said. Pardington said at the time that Health and Safety had been discussed and support offered to his staff during the debrief immediately after the fire. He said they all appeared to be okay. “None of my staff were injured which I was really happy about.” A WorkSafe spokeswoman said it was unlikely the agency would be able to comment on any specifics, saying it has only been notified and making initial inquiries. No one was immediately available to comment from Fletcher Building. More than 150 firefighters were involved in battling the blaze which saw thick black toxic smoke pour from the rooftop for four days.

OUR VIEW
The art of not biting the hand which feeds you W inston Peters is a bit like that piece of chewing gum that gets stuck to the bottom of your shoe. It annoys you every now and then but you become that comfortable with it being there that you get used to it over time. The wily old politician with nowhere near as much quick wit as he’d like to give himself credit for has been a bit of a thorn in the side of media outlets and journalists throughout his political career and has never held back from voicing an opinion on individuals or organisations within the industry. I had the pleasure, if you could call it that, of spending some time with the deputy leader of this country on a few occasions in a previous role of employment and to say that his manner towards
journalists and the media was pleasant might be a bit of an understatement. He’s made it pretty clear publicly, so it doesn’t really need me justifying his position on the matter, but he’s certainly something else and a one of a kind, old school, hard-nosed bloke who just doesn’t seem to care who he offends. Most of the time it’s entertaining. Winston’s made a habit of giving the odd journalist a bit of a run around from time to time and
certainly given a fair few a verbal clip around the ear too. In parts I’ve enjoyed his fresh approach to it all which is so different to so many of his colleagues within the Beehive. But in the last couple of weeks there’s been a bit of anger boiling up watching the way he’s reacted to the fallout from the MediaWorks news that they plan to sell off the TV arm of their business – causing a pretty big shockwave across the industry. In case you missed it, Peters basically said that New Zealand would be better off without TV3 journalism. Heaving another heavy grenade in the direction of an already under attack team of very capable journalists and presenters. It was a low blow at best and a simple, yet somehow powerful
and cutting, comment directed largely in the direction of one particular presenter, but the undertone of it suggests that he may have been taking a much wider approach than at just the one individual. The loss of the MediaWorks team from the television screens would be a huge loss to the media industry of New Zealand. It doesn’t matter if you’re not particularly fond of Mark Richardson or you didn’t really like sitting down watching shows such as Married at First Sight or The Block. It has been proven that journalism plays a strong part in a healthy democracy. Without the ability to bring news and information to the masses, voters would be less informed when it came time to head to the polls and the
fourth estate also holds such a critical part in holding politicians and high powered people to account. It’s all part of the role and one which New Zealand’s media landscape does very well. Yes, there will be times when relationships between journalists and politicians might become a little frayed, but you’ll also see a mutual respect there which highlights the understanding of each other’s roles and the importance of that partnership in helping each other get the desired message across. And Peters would do well to remember that. Because next time he needs a platform in which to unleash his latest PR spin, he might just find the no vacancy sign up for him when he gets to the door.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Wednesday, October 30, the 303rd day of 2019. There are 62 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On October 30, 1865, the Native Land Court was one of the key products of the 1865 Native Lands Act. It converted traditional communal landholdings into individual titles, making it easier for Pākehā to purchase Māori land. On this date: In 1918, Prohibition supporters presented Parliament with a petition containing more than 240,000 signatures demanding an end to the manufacture and sale of alcohol in New Zealand. In 1961, the Soviet Union tested a hydrogen bomb, the Tsar Bomba, with a force estimated at about 50 megatons. In 1972, 45 people were killed when an Illinois Central Gulf commuter train was struck from behind by another train on Chicago’s South Side. In 1974, Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman in the eighth round of a 15-round bout in Kinshasa, Zaire, known as the Rumble in the Jungle, to regain his world heavyweight title. In 1985, schoolteacher-astronaut Christa McAuliffe witnessed the launch of the space shuttle Challenger, the same craft that would carry her and six other crew members to their deaths in January 1986. In 1997, a jury in Cambridge, Massachusetts, convicted British au pair Louise Woodward of second-degree murder in the death of eight-month-old Matthew Eappen. (The judge, Hiller B. Zobel, later reduced the verdict to manslaughter and set Woodward free.) In 2001, Ukraine destroyed its last nuclear missile silo, fulfilling a pledge to give up the vast nuclear arsenal it had inherited after the breakup of the former Soviet Union.

L
ast week, I had the honour and privilege of joining my fellow councillors and Methven Community Board members in swearing in to officially become the Ashburton District’s 2019-2022 term of council. It was a very special occasion and it was wonderful to share it surrounded by friends and family. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you, our community, for putting your faith in myself and my peers to lead and advocate for this great district. It is a responsibility that is not taken lightly, and through the declarations we made last week, we have pledged to serve to the utmost of our abilities and act in your best interests. In a similar vein, I’d also like to congratulate the Ashburton District on achieving one of the highest voter turnouts in the country; 55.1 per cent. It is a strong indication of our district’s engagement with local decision-making, and I encourage you to continue staying involved by having your say on council plans and proposals, coming along to council meetings or watching the live-stream council videos. At the inaugural council meeting last Thursday, I spoke about the years ahead and what residents can expect of our elected officials. This council is different to our previous terms, not just in who is seated at the table, but also in how many of us there are. There are fewer members (nine rather than 12, plus myself ).

I know there will be times that we won’t all agree with one another, but as long as we communicate well and work together, then we can reach a good consensus for you, our residents. There are big projects ahead of us: physical work to revitalise the Ashburton town centre will be-
gin, the new Ashburton Library and Civic Centre will be built and opened, and our new wastewater pipe under the Ashburton River will become operational. With the experience that previous and returning councillors bring, new perspectives from our new councillors, combined with the leadership and guidance of our deputy mayor Liz McMillan, I have great confidence that we have a robust team to oversee these important years ahead. On that note, our first council meeting is happening tomorrow
(Thursday, October 31) at 1pm, and we are very excited to get down to business. If you are unable to come along, make sure to watch the live-stream video that will be available on the council Facebook page and YouTube channel.
there is a desire to revisit the closure of the i-SITE building, which of course has been expressed repeatedly over the past three years. Our CBD has been devoid of any quality information service for nearly three years, and it will be at least two more years before some form of information service is offered in the new civic/library centre. Why should visitors and locals alike have to wait for at least two years when it could happen now? Council have a duty to provide a fully funded information ser-
vice with fully trained competent staff selling the benefits of our district. For a cost of around $63,000 per year our information centre could be open. This cost pales into insignificance when you view the costs associated with keeping the likes of our Art Gallery/Museum, Ashburton Trust Event Centre, EA Networks Centre, public spaces etc. open. All necessary assets to make our district a great place to come and visit. Selwyn Price’s statement “to reinstate the i-SITE on the current
site would require a re-design of both the CBD redevelopment plans and the library and civic centre would cost ratepayers of our community hundreds of thousands of dollars” is sensationalism and misleading at its best. Who is pulling the wool over whose eyes now? I am confident we will see the welcome mat out again to give our visitors the service they deserve, that has been sadly missing for nearly three years.

Fresh protests in Chile AP Fresh protests and attacks on businesses erupted in Chile Monday despite President Sebastián Piñera’s replacement of eight key Cabinet ministers with more centrist figures and his attempts to assure the country he has heard calls for greater equality and improved social services. Thousands of protesters crowded again into central Santiago, and one group set fire to a building that houses a fast-food restaurant and stores. Firefighters were battling the blaze. Other looters attacked a pharmacy, and there was an attempt to set a subway station on fire. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of people attempted to get home from work on free buses sent to replace trains out of service due to the burning of dozens of stations over the last week in Latin America’s most modern public transportation system. By Monday evening the streets were mostly empty, with piles of detritus burning on street corners, and some residents and business owners trying to extinguish blazes with handheld fire extinguishers. At least a couple dozen glass storefronts were smashed and graffiti cursing Piñera and calling for revolution was sprayed on virtually every building. Piñera replaced the heads of the interior, treasury, economy, labour and four other ministries with generally younger
Anti-government demonstrators in Santiago, Chile are water-cannoned by Chilean police during a protest. PHOTO AP officials seen as more centrist and accessible. “Chile has changed and the government must change,” Chile’s president said. However, his government announced no policies Monday aimed at addressing 10 days of protests over deficient social services and the high cost of living in one of Latin America’s most prosperous and modern nations. “A new cabinet isn’t enough, we need real changes in health care, education, pensions,” said Omar Soto, 34, who runs a cellphone shop. Protesters almost uniformly say they are frustrated with the so-called neoliberal model that has left Chile with region-topping prosperity along with a widely criticised private pension system, and twotiered health and education
systems that blend the public and private, with better results for the minority who can afford to pay. Many Chileans talk of waiting a year for an appointment with a specialist, or families receiving calls to finally set up appointments for loved ones who died months earlier. Hundreds of thousands are hobbled by educational loans that can follow them into their 40s and even 50s. “Last Friday we had a peaceful protest and being peaceful they didn’t listen to us,” said Sebastián, a 25-year-old welder who declined to give his last name saying he feared authorities. “You have to get their attention somehow.” Adding to protesters’ anger was a military crackdown on demonstrations and looting
that has left 1132 hurt, with dozens partially blinded by police or soldiers’ gunshot pellets, according to the National Human Rights Institute and the Chilean College of Medicine. The death toll from the 10 days of violence stands at 20, although it is unclear how many were killed by police and how many by looters. The UN High Commissioner on Human Rights, former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, was sending a delegation to the country to investigate the situation. Amnesty International was also sending a team. From afar, Chile has been a regional success story – under democratically elected presidents on the left and right, a free-market consensus has driven growth up, poverty down and won Chile the region’s highest score on the United Nations Human Development Index, a blend of life expectancy, education and national income per capita. In 2010, Chile became the second Latin member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, after Mexico. Meanwhile, a 2017 UN report found that the richest 1 per cent of the population earns 33 per cent of the nation’s wealth. That helps make Chile the most unequal country in the OECD, slightly worse than Mexico. Piñera himself is a billionaire, one of the country’s richest men.
Hong Kong leader warns of recession AP Hong Kong’s leader says the city is at risk of falling into a recession as it enters its fifth month of pro-democracy protests, and she says her priority was ending violence first before a political resolution. Chief Executive Carrie Lam

said Tuesday that if third quarter data, due for release later this week, shows negative growth, then the semi-autonomous Chinese city’s economy will have entered a technical recession. Hong Kong has been gripped for more than four months by protests, with demonstrators

Saturday Night Live star Michael Che is in hot water after making a crack about Caitlyn Jenner that many fans deemed transphobic. During the Weekend Update segment of the show, Che joked about Kanye West‘s new, religious public persona by comparing him to Jenner, joking that the rapper is turning into an “old white lady”. “At first I thought Kanye was losing his mind, and now I feel like he’s fine, he’s just turning into an old white lady,” he said. Che, 36, then turned his attention to West’s wife Kim Kardashian‘s former step-parent Jenner, who publicly came out as transgender in 2015. The comedian referred to the Olympian as a fella and showed a photo of her before her transition.
Padalecki arrested for assault Jared Padalecki, the star of much loved series Supernatural and Gilmore Girls, has been arrested for assault and public intoxication after a bar fight in Texas. According to TMZ, the actor got into a fight early on Sunday morning, outside an Austin bar called Stereotype, at which he is said to be a regular and it’s believed he may have an ownership stake in the bar. He allegedly hit a bartender and the bar’s manager in the face, and in a video obtained by TMZ, Padalecki can be seen putting a man into a headlock. Witnesses say that man was a friend who tried to intervene. He can later be seen pulling out cash which he allegedly “flashed” at police before he was arrested.

Smelter review a wake-up call
wind and solar generation is falling, the cost of the back-up gas-fired generation required in a hydro dependent system is not. And transmission is a big issue for Tiwai. Despite 10 years of debate, we have been unable to advance the two transmission-related issues that most people agree on – that Tiwai is charged more than its fair share and that South Island generation costs are unfairly inflated by Cook Strait cable costs. The new power supply agreements NZAS has negotiated since 2013 mean its energy costs are no longer indexed to volatile and rising spot prices. People are rightly critical of the

IRD targets hospitality sector

Inland Revenue has extended its crackdown on cash payments to the hospitality industry, and is gearing up to host a string of unannounced visits to businesses. As part of renewed efforts to dissolve New Zealand’s “hidden economy”, estimated to be worth close to $1 billion, the tax department is targeting cafés, restaurants, bars and takeaway operators, bakeries and liquor stores who under-report cash sales and pay staff under the table. In recent years, IRD has focused its efforts largely on the trades and construction sectors, where cashin-hand jobs are more common. Although the IRD will not put a figure on the hidden economy, it estimates approximately $256m worth of income was not reported in year ended June 2019. The tax department has already carried out a series of unannounced visits to hospitality businesses in the Queenstown and Central Otago region in a bid to curb illicit trade. IRD said the Central Otago region was a high-risk region of the country where cash sales were not being reported and staff received wages in cash payments. Using court-issued search warrants, the tax department raided three hospitality businesses in Queenstown and made unannounced visits to six others. It seized wage records, computers and other business records, along with information on employer-provided accommodation, rental properties, working for Families Tax credits and payroll matters. It found that businesses were paying staff in cash without PAYE being deducted, and documents revealed some were making cash
deposits into private bank accounts without being returned for GST or income tax. As a result, two businesses said they would make voluntary disclosures. The operation was conducted by 20 Inland Revenue compliance and forensics staff. Richard Philp, Inland Revenue customer segment leader for micro, said unannounced visits would continue in other parts of the country as it continues to catch operators failing to comply with tax law. There were 90 prosecutions cases before the courts due to tax evasion, Philp said. Earlier this year the tax department successfully prosecuted five siblings running 20 Thai House restaurants throughout Auckland. One person was sent to prison for two years and eight months and three were sentenced to home detention. They were also ordered to pay a total of more than $2.2m in reparations. Philp said Inland Revenue research had found that the proportion of people who participated in cash jobs in hospitality and construction sectors had marginally declined in recent years, with many saying they were now less likely to be involved in such jobs. “Cash jobs undercut legitimate operators so our goal is not to prosecute everyone but to have enough examples and representation around our enforcement work that
helps guide people to do the right thing,” Philp said. The IRD first began focusing a crackdown on cash payments in the hospitality industry about three years ago. Unannounced visits to businesses are a new strategy the tax department is undertaking to clawback money owed. “We can evaluate businesses based on what we perceive their proper level of income should be. We look at like-type businesses in similar locations and that helps us determine those that appear to be under-reporting versus those that are closer to the mark,” he said. Auckland has been a focus for the tax department for the past couple of years, though it is now moving to heavily vet the regions. “Construction industry and the hospitality industry are two industries that typically represent a higher level of cash transactions, and particularly with the hospitality industry, there are small amounts one-by-one but collectively they can build up to be substantial amounts of cash suppresses and not declared annual GST returns.” For every $1 spent on efforts to crack down on the hidden economy, IRD received about $6 in return revenue, Philp said. Undeclared cash payments was an ongoing issue as more operators opened up shop, he said. A Victoria University and IRD study released in April estimated that New Zealand is missing out on about $800m in its annual tax take due to the country’s self-employed under-reporting their income by about 20 per cent. Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand believes this is likely to be in excess of $1b each year.

power prices saw line 4 mothballed for six years. That line used to run opportunistically when aluminium prices were high and/or power prices were low. Such is the volatility in exchange rates, power costs and the prices of alumina and aluminium, that is simply too risky a strategy. The line was only restarted last December because Meridian Energy was prepared to offer a four-year, fixed-price deal on the 50 megawatts of power required. Highly renewable electricity has a lot of advantages, but it has to be affordable and reliable to benefit exporters. And while the cost of geothermal,
timing of Rio Tinto’s strategic review, with almost a thousand jobs at stake in an election year. The current challenge is real and short-term thinking won’t cut it. Closure or reducing capacity at the smelter would slash power prices but those benefits would last only three to four years. New generation development would stop and firms would rapidly mothball gasfired capacity to maintain prices. Nobody should want to see the smelter shut. The energy infrastructure and the skilled workforce are too valuable an asset. NZAS estimates site closure and rehabilitation at $256 million. The longer term fundamentals for aluminium look good. But whether an operation like Tiwai can be kept viable in the meantime will require tough thinking and rigorous commercial assessment from both industry and government. It may not prove possible and we should be honest about that. But allowing one of the world’s lowest carbon aluminium makers to close without plans to develop alternative export uses for that energy would be perverse and a failure of policy.
18/10
The review of the Tiwai Point smelter should be a rude awakening for policymakers who seem to think New Zealand’s renewable energy bounty is going to give us a free pass in world markets. Politicians from all parties have talked up the prospects of new low-carbon export industries – a green economy bonanza. But – apart from crowing about 85 per cent renewable electricity – what have we actually done to capture that benefit? Worse, what have we done to even maintain the little advantage we currently have? In concept, the case for Tiwai is compelling: use Southland’s abundant wind and hydro resources to make low-carbon aluminium for a world still needing more. But the real world is a cruel place and New Zealand just isn’t that special. About 30 per cent of the world’s aluminium capacity comes from plants supplied by hydro power. A low-carbon footprint isn’t a lifeboat in a world where Rusal last week estimated that 18 per cent of smelters are losing money at current prices. Rio is currently trying to sell a hy-
dro-powered plant in Iceland; Tiwai and the Bell Bay plant in Tasmania sit within the Pacific Aluminium business it has had on the market for eight years. Tiwai accounts for close to 2 per cent of New Zealand’s export earnings, but it has been on a thankless treadmill fighting to stay viable for years against newer, larger plants and new higher-efficiency smelting processes. Production capacity – particularly in China – continues to grow and inventory over-hangs have become more regular. Aluminium prices, which peaked at more than $US3300 a tonne in 2008, have spent most of the past eight years in a $US1600 to $US2200 range. Operator New Zealand Aluminium Smelters has specialised in ultra-high purity metal and is constantly pursuing the higher-value alloys customers are seeking. In the past nine years, the highly skilled staff at Tiwai have improved the site’s energy efficiency by more than 4 per cent. In 2011, when the site produced a record 354,029 tonnes of metal, the long-term goal was to try and get that to 400,000 tonnes to ensure its survival. The following year, high

Cuttle right in the zone Sam Cuttle (left) watches the progress of one of his shots during what was an impressive knock in his Ashburton College Combined XI’s win over the Selwyn District Lions on Saturday. The Ashburton Combined team travelled to Lincoln High School for Saturday’s match, where the visitors batted first. At the end of their 40 overs they were 211/2, and Cuttle was the side’s top scorer with 91, followed by Gus Casey-Solly who finished 50 not out, and Millar Newlands who hit 49. They then bowled the Selwyn side out for 116, with Jack Middleton claiming 3/2, while Lachie Gardner took 9/2, and Newlands 24/2. PHOTO DOUG BOVETT
■■NETBALL
Queen of cool By Bridget Tunnicliffe Throughout her career the ethereal Maria Folau has shot a netball like no other and turned the heads of the sport’s most apathetic observers. All signs on Sunday pointed to the pending retirement of Folau, when captain Laura Langman held back tears as she thanked her for her service after her 150th test. New Zealand couldn’t wrestle the Constellation Cup off the Australians but Folau’s performances across the series underpinned her value to the side since her debut in 2005 as an 18-year-old. In a sport that doesn’t have the slam dunks or alley-oops of basketball, Folau managed to bring a new dynamism to shooting within the confines of netball’s more conservative rules. It wasn’t just that Folau shot goals from a long way out, it was the trigger release, the trajectory, the swish when it hit the net and yeah she made a stationary shot look cool. Her gracefulness around the court belied the strength she possessed to take knock after knock to protect the ball from a swathe of attacks, while her mental strength truly came to the fore this year. Silver Ferns coach Noeline Taurua said the 32-year-old would go down as one of the greatest shooters of her generation. “She’s one of a million in regards to her style and her shooting prowess and I think you get to that stage where people can name legends of the game and I feel she is one of them,” said Taurua. In many respects Folau’s Silver Ferns career can be defined in two parts – the Irene van Dyk years and the period after that. Folau and van Dyk were perfect complements to each other. Van Dyk the classic holding shooter would put up a high volume of shots and
enjoyed top accuracy. That allowed Folau to play her natural goal attack position with some level of freedom. Still, Folau was forced on plenty of occasions to put up game winning shots for the Silver Ferns. One obvious highlight is the double overtime victory over Australia at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi when Folau’s shot finally broke the deadlock. When van Dyk suddenly retired before the 2015 Netball World Cup, Folau found herself with a new shooting partner in Bailey Mes and the early signs were exciting. After upsetting Australia in pool play, the Silver Ferns fell short by three goals in the final in Sydney. Folau owned the goal attack position for a decade before the former Silver Ferns’ coach Janine Southby first experimented with her at goal shoot in 2017. When current Silver Ferns coach Noeline Taurua was appointed in August last year in the wake of the Commonwealth Games failure, it may have been in the nick of time. Folau was probably jaded after carrying the Silver Ferns’ shooting hopes on her shoulders and things were starting to unravel in her personal life. The diplomatic Taurua was able to navigate the controversy around Maria Folau heading into the World Cup. Taurua knew she needed Folau to do that. The team dealt with it internally, put aside any personally differences and got on with their common goal. Folau’s performance in Liverpool was her crowning glory where she continued to mature into the goal shoot role. If that was her final game in the black dress she did what she did her entire career – shot from all around the circle, hardly broke a sweat, and kept her cool.

The better team won, simple W
ell played, England, well played. That about sums up Saturday night’s Rugby World Cup semi-final where Eddie Jones and his men bundled the All Blacks out of the tournament. It was pretty plain and simple, England played better than we did. So that made it much easier to swallow than what happened in the final at that other sporting code’s world cup in the UK back in July, which as much as we’d all like to forget, is still very much a clear memory in the minds of many a New Zealand sporting fan. Unlike that cricketing fiasco, the All Blacks didn’t deserve to win. Had they, by some miracle, managed to come up with a couple of last-gasp tries to steal victory from under the noses of the English, I’d have felt very, very

Had that happened, I think we’d still very much be hearing about it today and the referee and TMO might have had some harsh words directed at them by those passionate English fans. But, I like to think us Kiwis have been pretty gracious losers on a whole, thanks in large to the fact that it was pretty darn clear that the better team won. We weren’t robbed, England simply outplayed us. Before the game even started, I had a feeling it wasn’t going to be our day.

moment the English players formed that V to face the haka. I have no doubt that it was a move designed to put the All Blacks off their stride, just like the wee trick play when the referee blew his whistle to signal time on. And fair play to them, because it worked. Within a couple of minutes they had a try and the All Blacks were well and truly on the back foot, and that was where they stayed. The English went into that game with a clear game plan, and it was the right one. They stuck to that game plan and as a result the All Blacks never even really looked like coming back. The English had an answer for everything and as a result they are today preparing for a Rugby World Cup final, and deservedly so. England coach Jones summed it up pretty well when he said his side had had a couple of years to prepare for that game, whereas
the All Blacks only had a week. And he’s right. Any team going into the Rugby World Cup knew that, to win it, they’d at some stage have to beat the All Blacks. So they prepared for that. But when you are that team that everyone’s gunning to beat, you don’t know who you’re going to end up playing at what stage, so you have to be ready for any team, and anything they might throw at you. And Steve Hansen and his men just didn’t have the answers on Saturday. England, on the other hand, had all the answers and then some. They’d done their homework, they knew what they needed to do and they executed their game plan perfectly. As an All Blacks fan, there’s not much you can do other than congratulate England on a game well played. And most of what I saw on
social media after the game, was just that. There was a bit of negativity against the men in black, but mostly the feeling seemed to be that we were just beaten on the day by a better team. I saw a post that was doing the rounds on Facebook on Sunday, that stated ‘if you can’t stick with us when we lose, then don’t bother cheering for us when we win’. As a long-time Warriors fan, sticking with a team through thick and the very thin is something I know a lot about. It’s certainly not fun when they lose, but with a team like the All Blacks it doesn’t happen often and you know that they’re only going to come back better and stronger for it. So, all I can say is, in four years’ time the rugby world had better watch out. The only thing worse than an All Blacks side on a winning streak, is a wounded All Blacks side with a point to prove.

Who’s lining up for the top job? With the disappointment of the All Blacks early exit from the Rugby World Cup starting to fade, thoughts are now turning to who might be the next All Blacks coach. Steve Hansen was set to step down after the bronze match against Wales in Tokyo on Friday. Outgoing New Zealand Rugby boss, Steve Tew, said a four member panel would interview candidates and it was hoped a replacement would be named by Christmas. Laurie Mains knew what it was like to taste defeat at the World Cup having lost to South Africa in the 1995 final. He said whoever took over as coach needed to have tasted defeat or to at least have experienced adversity. “What that means is getting the very best out of a team. “And clearly demonstrating the ability to build a team or rebuild a team, but showing that durability under pressure and making correct decisions under pressure, I think it is really important.” Laurie Mains said both Jamie Joseph, with the Highlanders and Dave Rennie, with the Chiefs, had picked up struggling teams and gone on to win Super Rugby titles, and should both be in with a good chance of succeeding Hansen if they wanted the job. He rated Crusaders coach Scott Robertson, who put his hand up
Jamie Joseph is high on many pundits’ list. for the job after becoming the first super rugby coach to pick up three consecutive Super Rugby titles this year, but said it may be too soon for him to move in to the most prized job in New Zealand rugby. “Scott Robertson’s got a fantastic record, but he’s still pretty young as a coach. “It’s not saying that he’s not ready to take on the All Blacks,
don’t take that out of it. “But he has got more time in front of him. “Some of the others, Dave Rennie, Jamie Joseph, they’re probably at the peak of their powers now.” The former All Blacks coach said with so many talented coaches to choose from, we may end up with a combo of two of the top candidates.
And while current attack coach, Ian Foster, had been talked about as a good option for the top job, commentator Keith Quinn thought now was the time for change, not more of the same. “There were some guys in the current squad who had [heard] no other message [other] than that of Steve Hansen. “It’s time to turn a page if you like. “And maybe it’s the young guys of the new new breed, like Jamie Joseph, who could come into play.” Asked if he was interested, Foster said he would wait until after Friday’s match before making his intentions clear. But one who was willing to offer an opinion was star midfielder, Sonny Bill Williams. “It would be good to see I guess a Pacific Islander or a Maori in the All Blacks coaching system that would have a bit of influence, because the way that the game’s going ... there’s a lot of Island boys, a lot of Maori boys that play for the All Blacks and I’m just thinking how can we get a lot more out of those boys and I know that there is a bit of space for that growth.” Those spoken to all agreed the All Blacks were entering an exciting new phase that should see the side develop in fresh and unexpected ways under new leadership.
Rugby Australia are being urged to bring back Eddie Jones after the Australian coach engineered another historic Rugby World Cup triumph. New Zealander Dave Rennie had been tipped to succeed Michael Cheika, but England’s stunning 19-7 win over New Zealand in the World Cup semi-finals has put Jones in the spotlight. The shock win comes four years after the Australian mentor masterminded Japan’s stunning 34-32 pool triumph over South Africa, dubbed the ‘Miracle of Brighton’. Jones was also a consultant for South Africa when the Springboks won the World Cup for the second time in 2007 and he led the Wallabies to the 2003 final, somewhat against the odds, where they lost to England. Cheika has called for an Australian to follow him and former Wallaby Stephen Hoiles said that RA should make every effort to sign Jones. “If we’re serious about that, if Australian rugby want to find the right man for the job, and it’s everyone’s preference in Australia that that is an Australian, those phone calls have to be made,” he told Fox Sports. “Absolutely, whether he’s on contract or not, that’s a conversation for after the World Cup final. “But Australian rugby, to go through a genuine review, you have got to cast the net wide and find the best in the world. I’d argue there is not anyone better than him.” Former England star Stuart Barnes praised Jones for masterminding the victory over the All Blacks. He said England’s relentlessness at the breakdown on Saturday night reminded him of Australia in their win over New Zealand in 2003 and Japan in 2015. “He’s done it again,” Barnes said. “It’s a trilogy of great coaching performances.” However, he warned that RA may not be able to afford to bring back the coach they sacked after a string of losses in 2005. “Eddie Jones has been signed up till 2021 with England so forget that,” Barnes said. “England pay pretty well so if Australia want him, they’re going to have to break the bank.” Saturday’s momentous win was surprising for Jones, who was humble in victory. “We’ve had two-and-a-half years to prepare for it [the semi-final]. “We had been unconsciously preparing for this game,” he said. “When we flew to Japan on September 8, we wanted to be here at the end and that is where we are at.”

■■TOP JOCKEY
Bosson mulls Aussie sojourn NZME The plaudits Opie Bosson earned for his ride on Te Akau Shark at Moonee Valley last Saturday has the champion New Zealand jockey seriously considering a winter stint riding in Australia. Last season’s New Zealand Jockey of the Year, Bosson guided Te Akau Shark to finish third in the Gr.1 Ladbrokes Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley on Saturday. “The plan was to go back from
M2
the wide draw and, to be fair, I was hoping to get on the back of something to be able to go wider across the top,” Bosson said. “I’d walked the track the day before with Brent Thomson (and he said you can’t be wide going into the first two bends and expect to win a Cox Plate. “You have to get in behind something. He also said to try and get out and going before the turn. “I just wish he’d drawn a good barrier. We’d have been able to be
three or four lengths closer in the running.” Bosson can’t wait to be back riding him with the likely target now being the Gr.1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) in Sydney during autumn. Bosson has always made the most of his hit-and-run raids on Australian carnivals, right back to landing his first Australian Group One win aboard Grand Archway in the 1998 Gr.1 VRC Oaks (2400m) at Flemington as an 18-year-old.
Since then he has ridden a further four Group One winners in Australia, Mongolian Khan in the 2015 ATC Derby (2400m) and Caulfield Cup (2400m), Turn Me Loose in the 2016 Futurity Stakes (1400m) and Gingernuts in the 2017 Rosehill Guineas (2000m). “I’ve had offers from quite a few trainers to shift over there, but the timing hasn’t been right. “Now it’s something I would really look at, with the way New Zealand racing is going.
“I’m contracted to Te Akau and that comes first, but it’s a quieter time for them in the winter months. “I’d look at staying on in Sydney after the autumn carnival if that works out and Dave (Ellis, Te Akau principal) is happy with it. “I’m determined to get out of here next winter and do something. Winter is so depressing and it’s hard to keep my weight down. There’s nothing to look forward to over here in winter.”

■■RUGBY LEAGUE
SITUATIONS VACANT
Double-header The Vodafone Warriors and the Blues have united the once-deeply-divided codes by jointly announcing what is believed to be a world-first rugby league-rugby union blockbuster double header to be played at Eden Park in Auckland on Saturday, March 21 next year. The mouth-watering back-to-back games will not only bring the NRL and Super Rugby competitions together on the same day and stage, but it will also pit Auckland’s two oval ball clubs against their Australian capital counterparts. The Codes of Auckland event will kick off with the Vodafone Warriors facing beaten NRL grand finalists the Canberra Raiders at 5pm followed by the Blues taking on Super Rugby semi-finalists the Brumbies at 7.35pm. Months of discussions between the Vodafone Warriors, the Blues, Auckland Tourism Events and Economic Development (ATEED), the NRL and NZ Rugby have resulted in the two codes combining in a manner previously thought impossible. “We have much in common as professional teams in international competition and we know that we have fans that follow both clubs,” Vodafone Warriors CEO Cameron George and Blues chairman Don Mackinnon said in a joint statement. “Both clubs have worked together in recent years when the opportunity has arisen, and we have been trying to make this idea work for a couple of years. “This year we trialled a single ticket promotion to both of our games on the same weekend and fans from both codes absolutely loved it. “With both clubs playing Canberra teams on the same weekend, it was the perfect chance to give it a go. “It’s exciting and innovative and gives the Vodafone Warriors and the Blues the unique opportunity to celebrate some of the best sporting entertainment that Auckland has to offer.” The Codes of Auckland announcement is another example of Auckland leading the way with innovative sporting events for both locals and visitors to enjoy and was welcomed by Auckland city authorities as well
Sports Reporter Wanted a sporting all rounder who wants to be a star…. The Ashburton Guardian has an opportunity for a passionate reporter to make their mark in the world of sport. We’re looking for someone who lives for sport – all codes, who is keen to get to know the triers, the grinders the good teams and the sporting stars of the Ashburton District. You’ll be a one-person sports team, among an editorial team of experienced journalists, covering everything from representative rugby and netball, right down to primary school’s football and hockey. The Guardian is a progressive, six-day a week newspaper in the heart of a sporting strong hold. Our sports coverage is one of the cornerstones of the business. Our readers are passionate players, watchers and arm-chair critics who love nothing more than reading a good yarn about local sporting stars or teams. Sport takes place at any time on any given day, so you’ll be flexible with your working hours and willing to go above and beyond the call of duty to provide the sports coverage that the paper requires. You’ll also get the opportunity to swing one of our cameras around from time to time too.
chiefs from both codes and Eden Park management. ATEED general manager - destination Steve Armitage said the event will offer the whole region something different. “This day is one example of how Auckland seeks to offer its residents and domestic and international visitors a unique experience,” he said. “Last year, ATEED supported the rugby league double header at Mt Smart Stadium as part of our focus on stimulating increased visitation out of Australia, and we hope that this event will prompt a strong contingent of Brumbies and Raiders supporters to hop across the ditch.” Eden Park CEO Nick Sautner said the innovative event would give sports fans a special incentive to be at the stadium on March 21 next year. “New Zealand’s national stadium was built for crowds of all sizes and demographics so an opportunity to host fans of both the Blues and the Vodafone Warriors in our 116-year old home is inspiring,” he said. “We look forward to showcasing the stadium’s diversity and providing Kiwis with another great reason to visit Eden Park.”
Weekend work in this role is a given, but that does mean that you’ll get time off during the week to enjoy everything our district has to offer. That could mean that in Winter you are on the slopes within an hour of raising your head from the pillow or in summer out on the lake after just a 10-minute drive. If you think you could be the sporting star we are looking for, then we would love to hear from you. Send us an application letter along with your CV, telling us about your passion for sport and what you could bring to the Guardian team. Please send your application, along with CV to Matt Markham by e-mail: matt.m@theguardian.co.nz or post to Box 77, Ashburton 7740. Applications close, November 1.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You didn’t feel ready for it before, but now you’ve a better idea about how to go about a challenge you’ve long had your eye on. Your cosmic gift of the day will be greater flexibility and strength. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): What colour is the sky? Blue, right? Not always. It’s often black, white, pink, black, grey, purple and more. Think twice before labelling things. The first identifiers that come to mind are often incorrect. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You are constantly doing things without knowing how. The “how” has a way of working itself out when the “why” is strong enough. Stay focused on your purpose and the logistics will fall into place. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Some of what you need will be easy to get. And what’s not easy to get will lead you on a fantastic chase involving characters you’ll be happy to have the excuse to get to know. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Of all the possible things a person could be to you today – kind, entertaining, attentive, appreciative -–- these things don’t matter in the least unless the person is also available. Availability always wins out. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Don’t worry whether or not you did it right. It’s the effort that matters now. You can get better at this with future efforts, which will be a rather intuitive process. All you have to do is keep showing up. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You love a good story, and yet you’d rather your real life be drama-free. Drama needs conflict, and you don’t. Your life is plenty interesting without obstacles of that nature. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): It’s like you’re sitting at the table of life and waiting for what you ordered. Unfortunately, the service in this joint is questionable. You’ll dine, eventually, but you’ll have to be the cook and the waitstaff, too. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You will produce beautiful work or conversation, which is just a different kind of work. You’ll have the sensation of letting things come through you instead of from you. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): For you, challenge isn’t about conquering other people or even about conquering inanimate objects, processes or ideas. Challenge gives you the opportunity to reach into yourself to see what’s there. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You have the healing gift. When the split is within you, you can heal it. When the split is between you and another, even if you don’t have help, what you do on your own will make a difference. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): As you tell the story of what happened to you, you’ll realise you’re not the same person as the one in the story. The story may need to change because you’re not the same person as the teller either.

Beemans lead the charge Rachel Reid leads the bunch during the Tinwald Cycling Club’s race on Sunday. Flynn Beeman produced a top ride to secure the victory and major spoils in Tinwald Cycling Club’s 48km handicap event around the Grahams Road block on Sunday. Beeman made a solo bid for glory into the tough headwind finish in the Nelson Building Society event, chasing down the front markers inside the final 3km.
Co-marker Nigel Chatterton dug deep in the concluding stages to claim second place, while front markers Liz Wylie and Nigel Leary put up a brave effort in challenging conditions to deservedly secure third and fourth places respectively. Cole Beeman made it a good day for the Beeman stable by charging into fifth place, with Lar-
ry Neal rounding out the top six. Scratch marker Hayden Jefferson claimed fastest time honours, riding the distance in 70.30 minutes, while Nigel Douglas and Steve Caldwell secured second and third time. The juniors and division two riders contested a 16km handicap event, where back marker Maddi Lowry rode through the field to

claim the win and fastest time honours. Maddi rode the distance in 28.53 minutes. It was a closely fought event though, with Maddi catching the front marker Holly Crawford-Douglas in the shadow of the finish line. Crawford-Douglas held on for second place, with the fast finishing Lily Davidson taking the third
place spoils, and Sarah Gould produced a great ride to take fourth place. Leah Reid stormed home to take fifth place, with Daniel Gould charging in to sixth, while Kenny Johnstone secured division two bragging rights. This week the club will contest a graded scratch race around the Blackbridge block.
