Waipā’s debt levels are half what they were expected to be which means when council does go to lenders to fund its capital programmes - most caused by developer and market demand - the cash will cost more than forecast.Growth is running ahead of forecast and with that comes extra costs, he said.
“This is a risky environment for people who are trying to win contracts from us, and so tender prices are generally higher than we budgeted to cover these risks.

I would suggest that Robert should start by reviewing the 75 of 86 human fluoride IQ studies that show a lowering of IQ. 24 of those papers have been published in the past 3 years alone. We should follow the science where the NTP has stated in its draft report, reviewing fluoride’s neurotoxicity that “fluoride is a presumed developmental neurotoxin”. We should listen to the US EPA’s go-to expert on Lead’s neurotoxicity, Dr Bruce Lanphear. He co-authored an Op-ed in October 2020 titled “It is time to protect kids’ developing brains from fluoride” and states that we need to “rethink this exposure for pregnant women and children.”
The Childsmile approach can be used in a targeted way and get to the children that are most at risk. The shotgun fluoridation approach is archaic. I commend those candidates that have been willing to stand up to the Ministry of Health’s misinformation.

To take control of assets then put in place a “governance structure” that gives iwi ultimate control should be very worrying. We need to work together, not fracture this country even more. She and others have been after the water for a long time, there is no democracy in this process.Withregard to “race based favouritism”, an example. Correct me if I’m wrong but In early 2021 when the Covid vaccine became available (outside essential workers) Māori were given first shot, ahead of our older and vulnerable non Māori community members, of which there are a lot around Cambridge. The uptake was very poor, so we had a long expensive very targeted add campaign to try and get the numbers up. When it became generally available other ethnic groups in our community went to over 90 per cent without any prompting. Isn’t it time to stop the blaming and just self-manage?

Although the gun was harmless, she returned to the bar pointing it at Browning, threatening to “blow his brains out” unless he apologised.

Mrs Murphy attested that “at no time during the interview did I use bad or insulting language.” She said that she did not know what the lock of a gun was, “but I know what a lock-up is for I’ve been there.” She explained she had the gun as a threat against “a snake in the grass who used to wander up and down Brewery Street” – almost certainly a reference to one of her earlier cases. She lost her case against Browning, but the court erupted with cheers which were promptly suppressed by the longsuffering magistrate.

Waipā district councillor Philip Coles apologised at Monday’s candidates’ meeting for what he described as a misunderstanding over comments made about securing land at St Peter’s School for a third bridge site.
Mayoral candidate Susan O’Regan promised to bring a pragmatic style of leadership to the role if elected, saying she understood the challenges being faced by businesses today. She pledged to build a strong relationship between council and the business sector.

St Peter’s School immediately countered them and after questions from The News, Coles was rebuked by mayor Jim Mylchreest.Colestold Monday’s meeting: “The issue of a third bridge was raised and I made a statement which included describing some of the land about where potential locations of a third bridge could be.

Iwi representatives have asked that the council apply for the funding so that papakāinga and Plan Change 23 can be prioritised.“Icannot say this clear and loudly enough, we are at desperation point. We are past the point of saying ‘let us be reasonable about this’, we cannot be. Because everyone is suffering and we are suffering worse,” said Maniapoto.“Wehave some funding available, what we are saying is that papakāinga should be a high priority on that list. The fact that we do not have any plan right now is because nobody even knew about this… It is a very valuable use of that money because it will help our people.”

During the workshop, the council showed a revised list of projects that could be funded by the government’s Better Off Fund.
The provision of papakāinga - communal living on Māori ancestral land - in Waipā has been described as a top priority - but a plan change is needed to make it happen.
The council discussed papakāinga and the government’s Better Off Fund during a workshop on September 13.
The ability to develop community living spaces on Māori ancestral land, papakāinga, is allowed in some parts of the district, but a District Plan change is needed before any more papakāinga can be developed.
The council is deciding whether it will accept its $5.24 million tranche one share of the government’s $2 billion Better Off Fund, which was developed alongside the Three Waters Reform.

A bit about me I have lived in the Hamilton/Waipa area for the last 27 years. I grew up in and around Te Urewera National Park. I learned bush craft and about our environment, from an early age.
In 2009 we released our international award-winning documentary Poisoning Paradise.
Achievements in Council - During my term in Council our team achieved rates reductions, not increases. We formed the Coromandel Aquaculture Forum, increased regional funding for surf life-saving, delivered increased funding for rural weather bomb events, removed council-collected TB rates, and I led the working group that delivered the result for the Graham’s Creek flood management project. What I stand for - I support farming. I believe farmers need all the help and support they can get, and deserve the carrot, not the stick. I’m opposed to Three Waters, and opposed to unelected, race-based governance appointments. I’m ratepayer focused, not a lapdog. I’m a hard worker, and I get results. I have the backbone to represent the difficult issues, and the focus to deliver tangible and transparent results for the ratepayer. Vote for me, and I’ll work hard for you. That’s a promise too!
The current issue is water assets. However, RMA reforms are just around the corner. Difficult decisions are to be made, and it will take backbone to stand for a system that is equitable to all New Zealanders, and without Afavouritism.voteforme
Your current standing councillors Stu Kneebone and Barry Quayle have just ap proved the secretive budget blow-out. But more concerning, both councillors have voted to keep the reasoning for their decision suppressed from ratepayers. The same ratepayers that will fund their project for the next 15 years. There appears to be a trend of excessive and reckless spending by councillors Kneebone and Quayle. Both have just approved the 2022—2023 rates increase of 7.7%. That’s on top of the high Inflation rates we’re all facing.
issue, but it needs to be addressed. Co-governance is being introduced by stealth. The current process of appointing people to boards and committees based on race, rather than merit, Is divisive and feels like apartheid. We should be able to raise this issue and discuss it openly, without the fear of being labelled a racist. There needs to be open debate and reasoning so that the public can be made aware of just what is taking place and why it’s taking place. I stand for an inclusive Waikato, where any person can achieve great things - based on experi ence, qualifications, and merit - not race. Vote Clyde Graf for Waikato Regional Council.
Operation Reboot is an information system that is designed to make Regional Coun cil’s work easier. It was first approved by Regional Council in 2019, at an agreed cost of around $10 million. However, as the costs have continued to skyrocket, so too has the desire to keep the justification for the excessive spending, suppressed. What was a $10 million tech upgrade is now a $20 million blow-out - resulting in a 15 year community debt burden. In summary - a $10 million ratepayer project, blown out to over $20 million, to be paid off over 15 years. And given the speed of technology advancement, for an information system that may be obsolete within 5 years.

The Three Waters reform currently being rushed through parliament, must be stopped. The structure and boundaries of the planned co-governed entities are undemocratic. The Water Services Entities Bill removes local control over water management and signals privatisation.

I’m standing to represent you, the ratepayer, not the dreams and aspirations of Council policy officers, nor councillors’ pet projects. It’s you the ratepayer that should direct councillors on where your money goes, not bureaucracy. During my term as a Waikato Regional Councillor, between 2013—2016, I was a member of the Rates Control Team. Our decisions returned a rates reduction of -3%.
I’ve lived in the Hamilton/Waipa area for the last 27 years, and I’m standing with the Stop Three Waters team this election. Now is the time for your local politicians to stand strongly against the loss of control of your water assets.
That’s almost 11% less than what your current councillors have just approved. A vote for me is a vote to keep rates down, and to ensure transparency on all impor tant council decisions. That’s a promise! Vote for Clyde Graf for Waikato Regional

The spending of ratepayers’ money should be a cautious process. Surely it’s a councillor’s duty to ensure that the ratepayer is made aware of important spending decisions. When making those decisions, a councillor should surely use a strategy that works toward rates reductions, rather than huge rates increases. In times like these, affordability should be on the minds of all councillors. Affordability is espe cially important for those that are struggling.
In 1997, with brother Steve and father Egon, I started filming and producing outdoors DVDs and TV series under The Graf Boys name. We have been sponsored by many NZ outdoors brands over the years.

I threw her a motley little bunch of handpicked daisies that had wilted in my sweaty waiting hand - disappointingly, she failed to catch them. Nonetheless the moment was majestic and monumental in my nine-year-old brain.
Kei Te Kīngi, Kīngi Taare Te Tuatoru –E ara! Whakatika mai!
By Tom Roa, Tikanga Advisor, Waikato University
It was 1963, during her second visit to New Zealand that we first met. Well, actually, it was the only time we met and it was probably more accurate to say our eyes ‘met’.Well, at least I felt they did… but I definitely felt that she smiled at me in particular whilst waving generically to the anonymous other nobodies in the crowd… anyway, that was my nine-year-old perception which I held onto.
I awoke on Friday September 9 to hear the sad news that Queen Elizabeth II had passed away. I felt a little emotional and that surprised me.
My Mum, who liked the Queen a lot, took me to the corner of Trafalgar Street and Manukau Road in Onehunga, a stone’s throw from where our family lived. Excitedly I learned I was going to see the Queen… our Queen!
This is a farewell to the very first reigning monarch of a colonising nation to apologise in person and to sign an apology in her very own hand to a people who suffered (and for too many continue to suffer) the adverse effects of the colonisation and the invasive practices of her predecessors.
Tangihia tō whaereere, te kōkā o ngā iwi huhua puta noa te ao; heoi anō.
Haere mai e te tau 50 o te Petihana Reo Māori, me ngā whakanuitanga i tō tau 50, hei aha koa te tangihanga, te mōteatea, o te whatumanawa ki a Kuīni Irihāpetia II, he karamihi o te ngākau ki a Kingi Tiāre III, kia tau iho ngā manaakitanga a Te Wāhi Ngaro ki runga ki a koutou tatou katoa, huri noa - Paimārire.
Alas, apart from that significant encounter with The Queen, I heard nothing further from her. But then I never wrote to her either. To me, she was a lot like my Mum who I was closeOnlyto.a year apart age-wise, both loved dressing up although my Mum had no crown, relentless, adventurous travellers, both shared quirky senses of humour. And now both have passed away (my Mum in late 2020) and they share one final stark similarity - death, which is no respecter of persons.Animportant additional matter exists in which I feel they were similar.
A farewell, and a greeting

breathlessly stood… there she was! Because our Sovereign sat on the left hand side in the rear of the shiny black automobile, she was very close… smiling at me, waving to everyone else.
Last month the Queen stated, ‘throughout my life the message and teachings of Christ have been my guide and in them I find hope…”Queen or ‘commoner,’ none of us are invincible. From the greatest to the ‘least’ the eternal issue of ‘am I going to Heaven?’ must be personally resolved.
Ki tō hoa tāne, ki te tini o iwi, te mano o tangata kei tua o Moriānuku e whanga nā ki a koe.
We stood with a small crowd on the corner and waited for a long time.
Notably at the University of Waikato graduation ceremonies last Friday the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor acknowledged the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, and also celebrated the capping of graduands using te reo Māori – probably a first for a university.
Ka whatia iho ai te kuru o te marama –Taukei raro rā!

The UK’s government debt level was already high at around 95 per cent of gross domestic product before this package. New Zealand’s government debt level is 21.3 per cent of GDP by comparison. That high ratio is obviously going to go over 100 per cent next year. That is also one of the highest debt ratios in Europe.
Britain’s economic own-goal
These dire predictions for the outlook for the UK economy got me thinking about the promises made to the citizens of the UK if they voted to leave the EU in the Brexit
Most of the economic promises made are still to be seen and I doubt that they will ever be seen. In economic terms, Brexit must count as the worst ‘own-goal’ any country has imposed on itself.
This last point got me thinking about how the recent economic performance in the Republic of Ireland compared to that of the UK. Until 2005, GDP per capita was higher in the UK than it was in Ireland. But in 2021, GDP per capita in Ireland was more than double that in the UK. Ireland was US$99,000 per person and the UK was US$47,500 per person. That’s an extraordinary turnaround. Ireland has been able to do very well economically within the EU.
The annual inflation rate in the UK is around 9 per cent. One recent forecast said it could reach 18 per cent in 2023. That probably won’t happen now as one of the first measures the new PM took was to put a cap on household energy bills.

The Brexiteers also promised that leaving the EU would strengthen the Union. With the ascension to the throne of Charles III, the United Kingdom is again a Kingdom. But it does not look much like a United Kingdom. Many Scots are keen to have another referendum – and this time if they want to be a part of Europe they would have to vote to leave the UK, not to stay in the UK as in their last referendum. The Northern Ireland situation is still not fully settled.
The Governor of the Bank of England said recently that the UK will not be able to avoid recession next year. The President of the ECB, on the other hand, said recently that though economic growth in Europe will stagnate late in 2022 and early 2023, she did not expect Europe to go into recession.

Being a doctor was so much of who I was. I lost that when I came here.”
Many feel disempowered and confused, overwhelmed by a loss of dignity, experience difficulties with authority, and have a sense of ‘survivor guilt’ borne out of safety fears for family left behind.Oneman who experienced all those emotions is former Afghani doctor, Arif Saeid - the president of the Refugee Council of New Zealand and now working with the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) as a senior refugee and migrant advisor.Hetold almost 140 people at last week’s second U3A Cambridge meeting about the harsh realities experienced by refugees.
Driven by fear to seek asylum, refugees trying to assimilate anywhere outside their home country, including in New Zealand, are beset with struggles specific to their situation.
Dr Saeid and his wife Fahima are both medical doctors, who between 1994 and 1999 worked in Afghanistan for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), or Doctors without Borders. After their home was bombed and most of their possessions destroyed, Dr Saeid came to New Zealand in January 2000 to establish a safer life for his family. His wife Fahima followed a year later with their three children; a fourth child was born here. All four have attained success of their own in New Zealand, qualifying in the fields of medicine, law, architecture and engineering.
Dr Saeid was unable to practice as a doctor on his

Mylchreest also warned of the dangers of only looking at the big picture.
“It seems that we need a two-tier system to enable an immediate start on the critically endangered ecosystems and a more considered longer term plan.”
Federated Farmers says the plan released in June is an improvement on a previous one, but they have also taken issue with the budget proposed. The Feds were part of a cross-sector Biodiversity Collaborative Group (BCG) that made recommendations to the government on the Mylchreestissue.noted the cost to provide a pest proof fence and eradicate all mammalian pests at Maungatautari was in the order of $14m and now required an annual operating budget of between $1.2m and $1.5m.
“The statement that landowners will be stewards of the land and tangata whenua will be kaitiaki implies a level of control
He warns the proposals will further inflame relations between iwi and private landowners following on from the Three Waters debate.
over private property rights that will cause a negative backlash within the community.”
The lack of any meaningful commentary on how the NPS-IB is to be funded “would tend to indicate that there is an expectation that in fact the costs will be imposed on local communities and individuals and not from central Taranakigovernment”.RegionalCouncillors were told by staff in August the implementation plan for the proposal was woefully inadequate, represented a lot of smoke and mirrors and flagged significant cost shifts to councils.
The mayor says time constraints imposed by the Ministry of Conservation prevented his council from responding.
‘One size’ plan criticised
And he suggests the plan presents as a rushed one-size-fits-all model that he does not believe would gain support.
The cost to establish the conservation “island” at Maungatautari and annual costs is close to the total funding suggested in the plan.
That could only be achieved by the removal of all introduced plant, insect and animal pests. He says it is difficult to comment on the recommendations until it is determined how the reform of the Resource Management Act “will play out” – but he says the country cannot wait another 10 years to establish significant natural areas (SNA’s) before making progress on protecting biodiversity.
The expectation that iwi will determine their level of engagement is unfair to them not only from a resourcing perspective but also in determining the level of biodiversity protection, he says.
“From my experience with the Maungatautari Project and other conservation initiatives in Waipa over the last 40 years the simple preservation of existing habitats from further degradation from grazing by stock, runoff from surrounding land or development pressures does virtually nothing to safeguard the 4000 or so identified threatened species.
Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest has made a personal submission on criticising Draft National Policy Statement for Indigenous TheBiodiversity.draftNPS-IB sets out how to identify Significant Natural Areas (SNA’s) which must be protected, including on private land.
“Whilst intensive species management is essential for critically endangered species, such as the kākāpō, a shift is required away from a focus on our iconic mega flora and fauna to total ecosystem management that contain self-supporting populations of a variety of indigenous species that would have been found in any pristine environment unaffected by human disturbance.”
“Once again the community has not been well informed and appears to be another centralist model,” the mayor, who has been a strident campaigner against the Three Waters reform Mylchreestsays. was heavily involved in establishing the Maungatautari Ecological Island Project and has been involved in projects associated with peat lakes and remnant bush stands in TheWaipa.draft policy statement proposes providing $19 million funding and making landowners stewards of the land and tangata whenua Mylchreestkaitiaki. said there is little information in the statement on how the proposals are to be funded “and the $19m mentioned is infinitesimal and would only equate to less than $300,000 per council area”
The disruption of Covid-19 has played a big part in adding to stress for farming families and businesses. Our borders were closed, chopping the flow of migrant workers that hard-to-staff rural areas rely on. Key machinery could be idle for months because parts were held up by supply chain disruption, and rising costs of fertiliser, fuel and the like have bitten deeply into the one silver lining for farmers and growers – better than average returns on milk and meat.

Joseph Mooney said farmers were already facing the highest inflation in more than 30 years and sharply rising interest rates. He said forcing farmers to apply for consents was unlikely to achieve any environmental gains.
Mooney said the minister should put the new regulations on hold for a further 12 months.
The call echoes one made by ACT’s Primary Industries spokesperson Mark Cameron.

Migrant labour into New Zealand is still strictly controlled and despite the strong evidence that in a tight local labour market more remote rural areas are going to find it harder to attract available workers when in competition with urban employers, the government’s ‘solution’ is that farmers and growers should pay more.
She believes says officials say as many 10,000 resource consents will be required, but industry estimates are higher and each application could cost up to $10,000.
“The total cost to New Zealand’s farmers could be $100 million if David Parker continues to sit on his hands.

“The regulations have already been delayed by David Parker twice, but are now due to come into force in November. Because the guidelines will not be ready, many thousands of farmers will have no alternative but to apply for resource consents for their winter grazing.”

Associate Minister for ACC Willie Jackson launched Motorcycle Awareness Month on September 1, with a display of helmets to mark the 50 riders and pillions killed on New Zealand’s roads every year.

It also runs the Ride Forever coaching programme for motorcyclists.
ACC is one of the partners in the Government’s Road to Zero campaign, which sets a target of reducing annual roadrelated deaths and serious injuries by 40 per cent by 2030.
ACC figures show that over the past 10 years, an average of almost 7200 people lodged motorcycle-related injury claims. In 2021, ACC was supporting more than 7500 people who had suffered a road-related motorbike injury, at a total cost of more than $111 “ACCmillion.iscommitted to reducing the number and severity of motorcycle injuries that occur on New Zealand roads and this is one way we’re investing in motorcycle safety,” Keilty Routessays.in the greater Waikato region in line for upgrades include Hamilton to Tirau via Cambridge (State Highways 1 and 1C), Mangakino to Kihikihi, the SH39 Hamilton Bypass and, further south, Hangatiki to Urenui via Piopio.
Rural highways are being upgraded as part of a programme targeting high-risk routes for Themotorcyclists.$6.3million safety improvements on sections of 25 rural roads are part of a joint venture between ACC and Waka Kotahi called the Road and Roadsides programme. ACC injury prevention partner and Ride Forever programme manager David Keilty says motorcyclists make up just three per cent of road users in New Zealand but account for 20 per cent of road-related injury Researchclaims.also shows the likelihood of death or serious injury for motorcyclists is 21 times higher than a car driver travelling over the same distance.
ACC data shows motorcycle-related claims generally increase in September, which is why it is Motorcycle Awareness Month – an initiative run by ACC and the Motorcycle Safety Awareness Council (MSAC) to celebrate the start of the “riding season” and encourage riders to get “ride-ready”.
As of June 30, ACC had accepted 4095 claims for motorcycle-related injuries in 2022.
“September is when most riders get their bikes out of the garage after storing them during winter.”
Data shows riders who have completed a Ride Forever coaching course are up to 50 per cent less likely to lodge a motorcyclerelated accident claim than non-trained Moreriders.information about Ride Forever can be found https://www.rideforever.co.nz/ .
The initiative encourages riders to pay more attention, especially at intersections, as more bikes take to the road.
Keilty says riders should make sure their personal protective gear is still in good condition before getting back on their bikes.
