It’s a real newspaper

APRIL 28, 2022

A council three down

By Mary Anne Gill

The resignation of Elwyn Andree-Wiltens on Monday has left Waipā council light on numbers as elected representatives debate major issues.

The council was three elected members down this week with Andree-Wiltens’ sudden departure following The News’ exclusive reporting of her financial interest in a sand quarry operating illegally on the banks of the Waikato River.

Hazel Barnes has leave of absence and Grahame Webber misses meetings as a result of ongoing cancer treatment.

We say…

The resignation of councillor Elwyn Andree-Wiltens appeared an inevitability, but it is also a loss to the Maungatautari community and is nothing to celebrate.

It was the consequence of a story broken exclusively by The News on April 1, and the fact we continued as the only media prepared to follow up the issue and demand answers.

In short, it illustrates the value of a robust, privately owned community newspaper.

Despite our constant prompting, Waipā District Council took three weeks to illustrate it understood the seriousness of the issue, and the Waikato Regional Council also appears to have been slow on the pick up.

This is not the end of the matter.

An audit must be carried out to determine where sand taken from the illegal quarry went.

Starting next week, the council will look to set its rates for the year and find money to pay for several projects not identified in its Long Term Plan such as a Sports Hall of Fame at the Velodrome.

Plus, councillors must address the pressing issue of the district’s transport requirements including the issue of a third bridge over the Waikato River in Cambridge. Then there are the Three Waters reform, staff shortages, rampant inflation and housing pressures to deal with.

“It’s a busy time,” chief executive Garry Dyet told the council on Tuesday, and he must now pull together a recommendation on how to cover Andree-Wiltens’ positions on the council, Cambridge Community Board, Maungatautari Reserve Committee, Heritage Fund and the Waikato-Tainui Joint Management Agreement.

Andree-Wiltens, the Maungatautari ward councillor for nearly six years and a community board member before that, released a statement on Tuesday apologising to the council for her involvement in the unauthorised quarry.

“It has always been my intention to engage with the community by being respectful and taking into account their concerns. I have always intended to provide an environment of integrity and trust to the community. A space that people know they can come to voice their concern and know they will be listened to.”

The News reported last week Beacon Hill Contracting, the

company behind the sand quarry, had applied for a retrospective resource consent to mine the operation. Elwyn Andree-Wiltens is an equal shareholder with

husband Albert, son Mark and daughter-in-law Julia.

At the time mayor Jim Mylchreest refused to comment on whether he was considering

suspending Andree-Wiltens or whether sand from the quarry was used in any district projects.

But on Friday, following pressure from deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk and other senior councillors, Mylchreest called for AndreeWiltens’ resignation saying he was “really disappointed” in her and said he told her a higher standard was expected of elected politicians because of the perception of bias.

The resource consent application would not be fast tracked and would be processed by independent consultants and independent commissioners, all paid for by Beacon Hill Contracting, said Mylchreest.

All operations at the mine were suspended on April 13 after a Waipā enforcement officer visited the site to meet the Beacon Hill owners and their consultant.

By Sunday, Rhys Powell, the man who tipped off the Waikato Regional Council to the sand quarry’s existence, had lodged a Code of Conduct complaint with Waipā council saying he would take legal action if it did not act.

Dyet told Powell this week the council would “look into the wider issues relating to the matters” and would respond at the completion of the process.

Waikato Regional councillor Stu Kneebone said he knew little about the issue but had been assured by staff an investigation was ongoing into whether the quarry required a regional council consent to operate.

English lesson

I was somewhat amazed to read on two separate pages of your paper, an emancipated horse was euthanised. One is incredulous that horses can be freed from social and political restrictions! Horses should be careful and not become involved in these activities or they may be put down! But enough joking, I believe the intended word in both cases was emaciated meaning extremely thin through illness or starvation. I must take this opportunity to congratulate all the people who persisted with their genuine concerns in this instance of watching out for animal welfare in our town and surrounds.

I.S. Thomas, Cambridge Editor’s note: Guilty as charged on both counts. We have written emaciated 100 times.

Museum questions

So, Cambridge is being touted as the new home of the currently Dunedin located sports museum (Cambridge News, April 21).

Jim Mylchreest and Liz Stolwyk manufacture a positive case for the museum to be in Cambridge saying it will be a “bonus”, that it sits “really nicely with council’s vision”, it being “a good fit” and that it will “bring in extra people”, among other rose tinted spectacle claims. Given that funding support by council will inevitably be a feature of the submission at some stage we must be told what capital and ongoing operating costs will fall on already over stretched ratepayers.

What cost/benefit analysis has been or will be made to determine if, in fact, there will be advantages in real terms to the District and ratepayers of the proposal and

Theatre returns

that the museum will not be an ongoing financial burden to ratepayers? Ratepayers need more than words and unsubstantiated platitudes to make the case.

That the museum failed in Dunedin due to falling visitor numbers and because (it appears) key backers pulled their support because of that is an ominous sign and a warning.

Apart from our leaders’ pie in the sky assumptions about the benefits of bringing the museum here who can say if that outcome will not be repeated here? Why should ratepayers potentially be saddled with the ongoing financial responsibility of another failed venture? The museum should be in Auckland which has the resident population and tourist base to make it more viable. (Abridged) Kelvin Dunn Leamington

Cambridge’s Gaslight Theatre is emerging from the Covid shadow with its first 2022 production.

Conjugal Rites, a Sir Roger Hall play features Jo Bishop and Steve McMurray who play Gen and Barry as they reach their 21st wedding anniversay. Barry hasn’t changed a lot in 21 years but Gen has.

The play – which takes place entirely in the couple’s bedroom - explores many of the situations two people in a relationship face – increasingly dependent parents, increasingly independent children, changing career prospects, friends and their influence, aging bodies, different expectations, and the inevitability of growing older.

The season runs from Saturday to May 14.

On the beat with Senior Constable DEB THURGOOD Finders are not keepers I hope you have had good week. Today I want to talk about theft – the type of theft where you find something that is not yours, yet do not hand it in and rather keep it for yourself.

A common example is if you see someone accidentally drop cash when they are out and about. When I was a child, we used to say, “finders keepers, losers weepers!”. That rule doesn’t actually hold true however. If you pick up the cash, put it in your pocket and do nothing other than that, not only is it the wrong thing to do, but you have committed the offence of theft. If you find personal property such as jewellery that has been dropped or pick up a cellphone the person in front of you leaves behind at a checkout and keep it, the same applies.

If the item you find is in a retail store or other premise, it may be appropriate to hand it into staff as the first point of call. The best approach however will be to hand it in to

police. When you do so, we will take your details as the finder. If unclaimed and should you wish, we can notify and return the item to you after a suitable time has passed allowing enquiries as to the true owner. In some cases, items will be auctioned off or destroyed as appropriate. A person must make every possible endeavour to find the owner of found property, or hand it to police.

Posting on Facebook as some people do, can have a positive outcome, however not everyone is on Facebook, and there is the risk you may ‘return’ the item to someone other than the actual owner.

On a completely different topic, I also want to touch on driver licencing… or rather the suspension/disqualification of licences.

There are three main categories under which a driver licence may become temporarily or indefinitely invalid: being forbidden, suspended or disqualified. I won’t go into all the various scenarios here, but regardless,

in all three cases, if you are found driving while the restriction is in place, whichever car you are driving at the time will be impounded for 28 days and you will face either a fine (if forbidden) or a prosecution with associated penalties.

A conviction almost always leads to an extension of the period where you won’t be allowed to drive. The best action to take is to simply not resume driving, for any reason, until you legally can. This prevents you from getting into a circular pattern.

Unlike a suspension or forbidden status, a disqualification is handed down by the courts. At the end of the disqualification period your licence will go into reinstate status. After a disqualification, you cannot resume driving legally until you have gone and applied for a new licence. For more information, got to www.nzta.govt.nz .

‘Toxic’ tree for the chop

By Mary Anne Gill

A protected black walnut tree at the end of Le Quesnoy Place in Cambridge will be felled to make way for the latest home in a Europeanstyled housing enclave.

Cambridge Tree Trust chair John Moodie says he is “extremely disappointed” Waipā council did not let the trust know it was considering the tree’s future at a hearing on April 20.

“They could have kept us in the loop, they know we’re interested,” he said, a reference to the group’s contributions to the protected tree register consultations three years ago.

Then the Standard Tree Evaluation Method (Stem) score for the tree was downgraded from 144 points to 138 points. That meant the council was under no obligation to let the public know it was considering the tree’s future because under the district plan, only trees above 138 points require public notification.

Applicants Fred and Pamela Barrett applied for consent to fell the tree earlier this year. Rob van Voorthuysen, an independent commissioner with more than 40 years’ environmental and resource management experience, considered the application.

Communications consultant Victoria Wightman said the tree was unique to other protected trees in the district due to its allelopathy (toxicity)

The Juglans Nigra black walnut tree at the end of Le Quesnoy Place is to come down to make way for a new house.

placement on a vacant residential lot and the dangers it presented to people on the lot and adjoining properties.

“The application to fell the tree was supported by an arborist report submitted by the applicant (an arborist outside of council), a building report, surveying plans, a design statement from an architect and a report from Agsafe,” she said.

Moodie said the Tree Trust, which works closely with the council on a voluntary basis on several projects around Cambridge, had fought to save the tree before.

Three years ago, Craig Webb a consultant arborist, produced a report to the council when it was considering changes to its Protected Trees plan and the owners of the section wanted the black walnut tree’s Stem score downgraded so they could build a house.

He said the black walnut tree posed no threat to human, animal, or plant life.

“It is true that black walnut trees have toxic compounds that can kill other plants or prevent many from growing, however in this tree’s current setting the harm done is not a significant factor.

“The toxic compounds’ hazard to humans and animals is overstated in the submission and not supported by fact. Black walnut provides an edible tree-nut crop and the nuts have been found to be toxic to dogs only when mouldy.”

It was the tree’s “nuisance” value which contributed to its lower score of 144, he said.

“It is acknowledged that the presence of a protected tree could have significant implications for future land development on this property, and that this may require creative planning and architecture.”

Webb said then the tree was unlikely to be downgraded to an unprotected status. Since then, the section has been sold and it was the new owners who applied to fell the tree.

Moodie said the wood from the tree would be durable and lovely. He has an interest in wood turning and said walnut made beautiful furniture and in past decades had been used on wooden dashboards of cars like Rolls Royces and Bentleys.

“That tree has a beautiful trunk. I just hope they see the value in the wood,” said Moodie.

Residents put Fonterra on notice Relations between Fonterra and residents around their Hautapu plant remain frosty in the wake of approval being given for the dairy giant to build a wastewater treatment plant.

The company said last week it was committed to working with neighbours, but residents’ spokesperson Grant Eynon says since the green light was given, the local community have heard nothing.

He says the community disagrees with the commissioner’s findings in

approving the plant, “but they are not able to launch an appeal in the Environment court.

Eynon warns Fonterra can expect vocal and public opposition to any problems that arise.

He claims Fonterra’s attitude is already “showing blatant and public disregard towards its neighbouring communities”.

“Hautapu and Bruntwood residents are unhappy with approval of the wastewater treatment plant in their

vicinity. Fonterra had a very viable option to site the plant away from any Cambridge community,” he said.

Instead the company “ignored their own initial research and advice that Hautapu was too populated, and instead went for the easy consenting option”.

Eynon said Fonterra staff told community members at the beginning of the Hautapu process they had been given an unlimited budget to push the project through,

“but it transpires were not prepared to spend money on investing in a site away from a high residential and business population”.

He suggested ease of consent and money were more important than neighbours.

He says the community believe Fonterra should reassess their production location strategy because of the continued growth of residential and businesses properties on their boundary.

Anzac Day, as it should be

By Mary Anne Gill

The crowds returned to Cambridge’s two Anzac Day services on Monday with standing room only in the Town Hall for the Commemorative Service.

Support was back to pre-Covid days as in the still of a misty morning, Group Captain Ants Hawes, a retired NZ Defence chaplain, welcomed returned service people and about 200 people to the Dawn Service.

In Victoria Square an unexpected visitor provided a real highlight.

The red Poppies hot air balloon piloted by Daryl McKee lit up the pre-dawn sky as a poignant reminder of the battlefields of Flanders in World War 1.

RSA president Tony Hill placed a wreath on the Cenotaph and then recited The Ode followed by the Last Post.

After the closing prayer, RSA members retired for breakfast at the Onyx to gather again two hours later for the parade to the Town Hall and the Commemorative Service.

Between the end of the Dawn Service and the parade, a typical Waikato fog had rolled in to make for an eerie atmosphere as the Cambridge Brass Band and Cambridge and District Pipe Band led participants into the Town Hall piazza.

Cambridge Community Board chair Sue Milner who welcomed them, later said the turnout was

a credit to the work the RSA was doing in the Cambridge community.

“They’ve worked very hard the last few years and have involved the children of servicemen which has made a real difference,” she said.

“They do a huge amount of welfare and they do cover all the wars.”

During the Commemorative

Service, speeches were made by Cambridge High School head students Anna Smith and Samuel Kingston while Afghanistan war veteran Graham Johns was the guest speaker.

Soprano Elaine Wogan’s soulful rendition of Hine E Hine drew praise from Hawes, presiding over his second service of the day.

A stirring performance of

CAL HOUSES INTO ROUD OF.

Amazing Grace performed by the Cambridge Brass Band and Cambridge and District Pipe Band followed before the crowd returned to the piazza for the wreath laying.

Those who laid wreaths included a representative of the Australian Government, Taupō Youth MP Sophia Goodrich, on behalf of Louise Upston, guides, scouts, St John, the Alpha Lodge, Defence

Force, the Cambridge-Le Quesnoy Friendship Association, Red Cross, Cambridge Community Board and mayor Jim Mylchreest.

The highlight came when students from schools around the district laid wreaths.

The Cambridge News photographer took several photos on the day. They appear on our Facebook page.

Londoner Liam Sellick, who now lives and works in Rotorua, said he was loving the opportunity to compete at Karāpiro. He spent Covid lockdown in New Zealand and considers himself luckier than his friends and family back in England.

A large wedding capped off the weekend which had site manager and Waipā deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk searching for superlatives to sum up how it felt getting back to normal with more than 3000 people in attendance.

“This really was a weekend that offered something for everyone and it was great to see the venue

busy again.

“We continue to see strong forward bookings over this autumn and winter, including lots of enquiries for single and multi-day conferences and events.

“We really are back in action,” she said.

Stolwyk said the worldclass infrastructure at the domain had placed the district in a strong recovery position while excellent relationships with event hosts, corporates, and clubs had made navigation through any changes easier.

“We have also been able to build up an experienced team of individuals who can adapt well in many environments so I am confident we hold a unique advantage over other venues.”

Land return a blessing

CAMBRIDGE NEWS | 7

THURSDAY APRIL 28, 2022

By Benjamin Wilson

Sixty-one Rangiaowhia Road has been blessed on a day when both holy water and tears fell onto the historic whenua.

“When our tupuna were ejected from here, they left with tears of dejection, of sorrow, of pain. Today we are crying for a different reason,” said kaumātua Tom Roa. In February, Ngāti Apakura and Ngāti Hinetu were unsuccessful at buying historically significant whenua in Rangiaowhia, which caused hurt. Last month, discussions between the Anglican Church, iwi, and landowners, resulted in a deal to see the land returned to mana whenua.

A service on Saturday acknowledged the Church’s support of iwi, and their intention of returning the whenua to them. After

the service, archbishop Philip Richardson blessed the whenua with holy water.

“The support that we offer must be real, it must be down to earth, it must be total.

This opportunity for land return represents something of that support today and forever,” Richardson said.

“We look back knowing that we must understand the past fully, unreservedly, and without censor, if we are to learn, if we are to move forward.”

Rangiaowhia was once a thriving settlement for Ngāti Apakura and Ngāti Hinetu, who had a close relationship with the neighbouring Anglican and Catholic churches. On February 21, 1864, Māori took refuge in the churches and other buildings during an attack by colonial forces caused Sixty-one Rangiaowhia Road is placed in between these churches.

Curate Benjamin Ong (left) and Archbishop Philip Richardson blessed the whenua with holy water.

Jenny Charman, Bill Harris and solicitor Emma Whiley are celebrating the events that led to Saturday’s blessing.

“As a church, we are here humbly to reflect on the past, and with deep humility, to stand before the experiences of Ngāti Apakura and Ngāti Hinetu. We come to pay our highest respects, to enter as best we can into your grief, and your loss, and to stand here with solidarity and with aroha,” Richardson said.

“Rangiaowhia is of the most poignant and crucial importance in our history as a nation, and it is not too much to claim of critical importance to humanity as a whole.”

Jenny Charman is one of the original claimants of whenua in Rangiaowhia. She said she is very happy with the outcome but joked she wished it had happened sooner.

“I haven’t got that much time you know.”

Initially Apakura tried asking the government to assist them in their reclamation of whenua. But as solicitor Emma Whiley said, “the Church has moved faster than the Crown.”

Whiley was Ngāti Apakura’s lawyer for the entirety of their land reclamation efforts.

Apakura Rūnanga Trust chairperson, Bill Harris, told The News that Ngati Apakura plan to build a wharenui (meeting house) on the whenua, as Apakura do not have one of their own.

It is understood that the Church will gift the land to mana whenua at a later date.

Elsa Brandström, was the daughter of a former Swedish ambassador to Russia.

To hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war during the First World War, her name was the ‘Angel of Siberia’. She was a living witness to the power of love in a century that belongs to possibly the darkest, most destructive and cruel of all centuries since the dawn of mankind.

At the beginning of the First World War, when Elsa Brandström was 24, she looked out the window of the Swedish Embassy in what was then St Petersburg and saw German prisoners of war being driven through the streets on their way to Siberia.

That moment forever changed Elsa’s outlook and she could no longer endure the privileged diplomatic life which, up to then, had been her world.

She became a nurse and began visiting the prison camps. There she saw unspeakable horrors and almost alone, began a fight of love against cruelty.

She fought against the resistance and suspicion of the authorities, and she prevailed. She had to fight against the brutality and lawlessness of prison guards.

She fought cold, hunger, illness and filth - the conditions of an undeveloped country and a destructive war, and she prevailed.

When Elsa appeared, visiting the hungry and thirsty with provisions, welcoming strangers, clothing the naked and strengthening the sick. she brought light that shed hope… it conquered hate-fuelled prejudice, promoted forgiveness and healed deep pain.

She fell ill herself and was imprisoned, yet the irresistible power of love flowed from her. God was revealed to others through

Elsa’s actions of love.

After the war she initiated a work for the orphans of German and Russian prisoners of war.

The sight of her among these children made an indelible impression on many people.

With the coming of the Nazis, she and her husband were forced to leave Germany to make a home in the United States.

There, again motivated by love, she helped innumerable European refugees.

It was said that God was abiding in her and she in Him… her life made God visible. Her deeds and relentless care drew, in response, the love of millions and she was acclaimed for ‘making God’s love transparent’.

On her deathbed, Elsa received a delegate from the king and people of Sweden.

Representing people all over Europe, she was assured the stories and examples of her love would never be forgotten.

When the powerful, transforming love of God captures a person’s heart they will never be the same again.

It banishes and drives out fear… the fear of loss, fear of being hurt… of vulnerability which wraps us in selfprotective behaviours, shutting others out.

Experiencing God’s love in a personal way changes everything.

As was the case with Elsa, a bold sense of security, empowers and re-assures us when we know how much we are perfectly loved… it changes everything - especially old selfish individualistic outlooks that can characterise a life lived, ‘wrapped up in itself’.

One day it will look like this …

A recent Listener (April 9-15) included an article (Over and Out) on the world-wide trend for people departing big cities for smaller towns. Housing costs, Covid-19 and the ability to work from home are part of this trend, but research at Waikato University has detected a further driver. In their “20-minute city” survey they discovered that young and old, single or married with kids, everyone wanted two things above all: 1. local shops ( unsurprising) 2. “access to wilderness, gardens and parks” (surprise!)

Project leader Professor Iain White is quoted as saying “We’re hoping the 20-minute city idea will influence decision makers, because we are in danger of losing those green spaces that,

actually, people value extremely highly.”

Elsewhere I have come across work, which indicates that green space/parks should be within 300 metres of any home; further away and it will not be used.

This too presents a challenge to planners and councils. It is to be hoped that Waipa District Council has got this right in the new developments now springing up around Cambridge. If not it is time for urgent changes to planning rules.

Meanwhile Cambridge Tree Trust has recently planted up a small park near its base on Thornton Road. The trees are only a metre or two high at present, but in time we hope it will be a space where neighbours can wander to admire the trees, enjoy the birds, picnic in the shade, play in the open space, gather fruit.

Cambridge Tree Trust would like to thank Mitre 10 for their support for these monthly articles which are intended to raise interest and awareness of trees in Cambridge.

I found myself on the receiving end of a bit of a ticking off on Monday. It was Anzac Day. I contacted a colleague from another company on a matter to do with work on Monday morning and was duly reprimanded for doing so. My behaviour in carrying out any sort of work prior to 1pm was “highly disrespectful”.

Somewhat taken aback, I apologised immediately for any offence caused.

Then I received a message telling me that I had, in fact, breached the ‘trading act’ [sic] but that the person knows me well enough to know that I ‘would not have realised - so all good’.

It’s not in my nature to be told I have breached an act of Parliament and leave it at that, so I got onto the New Zealand Legislation and Real Estate Institute of New Zealand websites to see what I could find.

It turned out I hadn’t breached any act, although the Reinz does encourage consideration of the “special nature” of certain days including Easter and Anzac Day. Fair enough too. In retrospect, had I thought about it, I may

well have refrained from making the call.

Originally devised to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who served in the Gallipoli Campaign, Anzac Day has become a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders “who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations”.

There has historically been some antagonism towards the day, mainly due to the former legal ban on commerce and, indeed, the banning by many local authorities of sporting and other entertainment events.

In the context of our society, Anzac Day remembers men and women who have made sacrifices in the defence of Australia and New Zealand, the defence of freedom.

In these increasingly PC times I find that one has to be ever more careful not to cause any kind of offence, which will be eagerly taken by ever widening sectors of the community. Comedians, in particular, are finding themselves

in hot water, seemingly at every turn.

But freedom is a precious thing, and to have one’s freedom, whether of speech or action, curtailed by another individual’s proclivity for the taking of offence, or opinion as to what constitutes a lack of respect, is surely the thin end of an autocratic wedge.

You will, no doubt, have noticed that I am leaving out one important consideration: Whilst I have every moral right to do what I like on any day of the year, I do not have the moral right unilaterally to impinge upon the beliefs, views, liberties, or customs of others.

Therefore I apologise unreservedly to my colleague for encroaching uninvited upon their day of remembrance, and I shall endeavour to be more considerate in the future.

I shall, however, continue to work, rest, or play whenever and wherever it may be necessary. This is an invaluable freedom in defence of which so many have given so much.

New rotary grant on offer

By Jamie Strange, Labour MP for Hamilton East

I am humbledImmigration and honoured to have been Advice elected as the MP for Hamilton East. My wife of 23 years, AngeIa and I live in the electorate, our four children attend local schools, play for local sports teams, and as a family we are immensely proud of our city.

I acknowledge the work my predecessor David Bennett did in the Hamilton East electorate. I also appreciate and acknowledge outgoing Hamilton West MP Tim Macindoe. Tim is a genuine, honourable and honest person, who always puts others before himself. I would like to congratulate Dr Gaurav Sharma, who won the Hamilton West electorate, and whom I know will do a great job. I also congratulate all other candidates who won their seats in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions.

As a list MP over the past three years, I helped deliver the following investment for Hamilton: a passenger rail service to Auckland (starting early 2021), the 1300seat Waikato Regional Theatre, Peacockes housing development along with roading infrastructure near Hamilton Gardens, the headquarters of Te Pukenga (nationwide polytechnic merger), the headquarters of the Criminal Cases Review Commission, state integration of Hamilton Christian School, infrastructure investment in the Ruakura inland port and commercial development, and a rebuild of the Henry Rongomau Bennett mental health facility.

As an electorate MP, I will have an even stronger mandate to lobby for government investment in our city.

On election night, our Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern spoke about the leadership she will provide over the next three years. I quote from her speech below.

We are living in an increasingly polarised

world, a place where more and more people have lost the ability to see one another’s point of view. During the recent election campaign, I believe New Zealanders have shown that this is not who we are. As a nation we can listen and debate. After all, we are too small to lose sight of other people’s perspectives.

Over the next three years, there is much work to do. We will build back better from the Covid crisis. Better, stronger, with an answer to the many challenges New Zealand already faced.

It’s an opportunity we have already grabbed, and a plan we have laid out to invest in infrastructure. It sets us up for generations to come while creating thousands of jobs, new state homes to house the homeless, and 100% renewable electricity generation, free trades training, and interest free loans for small businesses to expand and to thrive. Our plan is already in action and already working. But after thi result, we have the mandate to accelerate our response and our recovery and tomorrow we start.

We know the next few years will not be easy. The last few have not been easy either, but there have been chinks of light that have shown through even the darkest of times. That light has been our nation’s determination, our support for one another, and our sense of resolve.

So let’s step forward together.

High density house plan?

Mystery surrounds the development of 11.52ha of land to the north of Cambridge with suggestions it is being eyed up as a site for high density and affordable housing.

The land was bought from Waka Kotahi two years ago by the Ministry of Housing and Urban development, which confirmed it would be used for the Land for Housing Programme.

The programme would build a minimum of 180 houses with at least 40 per cent of them to be public and/or KiwiBuild homes.

The News understands several developers are opposing the development because of the nearby million-dollar housing and the Summerset Cambridge retirement village.

They and residents argue it would change the character of the neighbourhood and affect house prices.

TALKING ECONOMICS

Inflation is everywhere Inflation has again been in the news recently – and the news just keeps getting worse. Last Thursday’s announcement of inflation of 6.9 per cent for the year ended March 31 revealed just how far the RBNZ is behind the game. The inflation horse has well and truly bolted and the bolt is still gaining strength and speed.

The RBNZ, and most other Central Banks, had been hoping that the recent surge in global inflation wouldn’t lead to second-round effects that would start an inflation cycle. But second-round wage and price effects are already becoming widespread. The recent minimum wage increase of six per cent in New Zealand is one example. I am aware of a local organisation that recently increased the rents of its tenants by seven per cent - and got no complaints or even questions. The tenants all expected it.

If Central Banks had started to take action against the inflation surge sooner, second-round effects may have been less.

But when inflation first started to rise last year, some of the Central Banks continued to add fuel to the inflation fire. Others thought words would be enough. A few, like the RBNZ, did start taking some tightening action. But it was too little and

By Peter Nicholl

too late.

The problem goes back to the behaviour of Central Banks in the preceding years in response to their concerns about economic activity. They over-reacted and lowered interest rates to ridiculously low levels and took everybody, including themselves, into uncharted territory.

I have been asking Central Bankers for some years how they were going to get their policy settings back to ‘normal’.

They never had an answer – they simply had no Plan A let alone a Plan B. If they now raise interest rates as aggressively as they should in response to inflation, they will create a financial stability problem.

This dilemma could have and should have been foreseen by Central Banks as it is very similar to one of the main causes of the last global financial crisis.

The Central Banks have made their main policy tool unusable against the current inflation surge by their past behaviour. It is not a surprise therefore that Adrian Orr, the Governor of the RBNZ, now says he needs help from others to stem this inflation surge.

Second-round wage and price increases are also necessary for many people to retain their standard of living in the face

of the rising prices.

Some of the biggest price rises are in the areas regarded as necessities – food, housing and transport. Central Banks seem to be saying that because inflation will fall back to their target level of around two per cent, the inflation problem is only a temporary one. They are confusing the inflation rate and the price level.

The inflation rate might come back to around two per cent sometime, but even transitory inflation raises the price level permanently unless the inflation rate becomes negative for a period.

So what will happen to the price level in New Zealand over the next few years?

Inflation was two per cent in 2020, 5.9 per cent in 2021, will be over seven per cent in 2022, and the RBNZ’s latest projection is 4.5 per cent for 2023. That means that the price level at the end of 2023 will be over 20 per cent higher than it was in 2020.

That is too big an increase for people to ignore. Also, it is not good policy-making to solve the problem of a price-level surge by lowering the living standards of the poorest members of our society.

Farewell to the Narrows Hautapu slip to Fraser again

Selfie time for the team at the Narrows farewell tournament, from left - Mary Anne, James and David Gill, Phillip Conaghan, Bill Wine and Ross McDonald.

By Mary Anne Gill

I said farewell to a tract of land in Tamahere on Sunday which has played a big part in my life.

The Narrows golf course has witnessed many shots from me which you would be hard-pressed to call vintage golf.

Sunday, the last time golf will be played on the course, was no exception although this time at least, the ambrose format enabled the team to discard my several bad shots.

There was the round when my tee shot on the 18th landed in the right-side bunker and I walked off the green with a 13 and two golf balls lost on the other side of Airport Road, one which ricocheted off the clubhouse roof and another which sailed over the top of it.

It took me some time to rake the bunker too in front of the many eyes in the clubhouse who always took great delight in watching how so-called golfers could badly play a simple par three

hole.

Or the time I tried to chip over the lake on the 14th and four shots later, I was putting on the green for an 11 and walked off with a 14.

But there were some good times too. I have never had a hole in one but came close on the 1st and the 6th three years’ apart.

It is over now for the Narrows course which was founded as the Narrows Golf Club in 1935 alongside the Waikato River at its narrowest point. Nine years ago, the club merged with its river neighbour Lochiel to become the Riverside Golf Club.

Not long after the Narrows course was sold to Waka Kotahi the New Zealand Transport Agency for its $600 million Southern Links project. The road for that has a 20-year lapse period and construction is still not confirmed.

After a lengthy settlement, the club accepted $20 million enabling investment to take place on the Lochiel course adjacent to Mystery Creek.

Alys Antiques & Fine Art

On completion, it was renamed Tīeke, after the member of the native saddleback family which formerly ruled the roost in the area until the 19th century, but are now only found in Waipā on Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari.

Tīeke reopened in December last year and Waka Kotahi took possession of the Narrows course this month.

It will be used for grazing.

If Southern Links does go ahead, the road would go straight through the course and include 18 kilometres of state highway and 13km of urban arterial roads within the Peacocke subdivision.

It will link State Highway 1 from Kahikatea Drive in Hamilton to Tamahere and the Waikato Expressway in the south, and SH3 from Hamilton Airport to central and east Hamilton.

Beaten finalists in the last game of 2021 – and beaten by the same opponent in the first game of 2022.

Hautapu slipped to a disappointing 24-10 loss to Fraser Tech as Waikato senior cub rugby kicked off ast weekend.

The side now faces a resurgent Te Awamutu Sports in a Waipā derby on Saturday.

Sports opened with 52-29 win at Matamata.

By Gavin Lynch – Yes Mortgages

Refinancing your mortgage is the process of changing your mortgage lending from your existing lender to a new lender. Refinancing is a common practice for any of these reasons: • You don’t like the lender you are with.

You’ve experienced poor service, problems with staff, or high account fees.

• You want to borrow more money but the lender won’t allow it.

Perhaps you want to consolidate debt, borrow to purchase a rental property or a vehicle, or put working capital into a business.

• You have ‘outgrown’ your existing lender and want to move forward.

This is common for self-employed people with a growing business, or for investors with an increasing portfolio.

• Your lender has asked you to refinance.

You may be in arrears with mortgage repayments or you need to restructure your mortgage.

Refinancing can involve costs such as break fees from the existing lender, solicitors’ fees, valuation charges etc, but we can help get cash contributions from your new lender to help offset these costs.

At Yes Mortgages, we can outline the costs involved and find the best new lender to fit your current situation from the 25 or so different lenders available. In most instances, our service is FREE to you.

Generally the benefits of refinancing outweigh the costs involved but bear in mind: Refinancing your mortgage must benefit and add value to YOU. Let us do the work to find you the best lender for your situation.
