THE cost of education, getting the country out of debt, the sales of state assets and support for new technologies have all been raised as key issues for Christchurch voters this election. Mainland Press sought out a variety of voters including a teacher, a mum, senior citizen, tradesperson, employer and someone who was casting their vote for the first time to ask what were the important issues for them this election and how they would affect their vote. Teacher and managing director Craig Fortune was worried about teacher redundancies in Canterbury because of the earthquakes. “The cost of education is one of the biggest issues for me. There’s no free education in New Zealand anymore and schools are run like businesses. National standards in primary schools

and the NCEA need to be revisited by an independent body. Funding is important as many schools are now in debt. Attention also needs to be paid to class sizes as research shows that smaller class sizes improve learning. All of these issues are important for me with the election coming up.� Student and first-time voter Ellie Toner said she would probably vote for National as she supported their policies rather than Labour’s. However she didn’t agree with National’s free trade ideaology. Self-employed builder Lindsay Wilson said the costs associated with running your own business would influence his vote. “I’ve just seen something by the Greens where they talked about tax changes for small
businesses. People spend a lot of time – two or three days a month – working on their tax, GST and insurance, all that goes into running a small business. That’s horrendous for us – a major cost. There’s a lot of expenditure going into business.� Mel McQuarrie, who is mum to one-year-old Brylee, was focused on the long-term plans for bettering the country. “Like with Kiwisaver and things like that and saving money and not spending and getting our country into more and more debt.� Senior citizen Joyce Walker said she would vote for National’s John Key but she was disappointed about its policy on state asset sales. “That has made him very unpopular with a lot of people but the opposition really doesn’t

offer me personally anything that I don’t sort of get now.� Employer Wil McLellan, whose two companies have about 70 staff making gaming products for the global market, said it was important to have a government which was interested in the new technology sector. “The policies that are important to us is who’s going to be investing in new technologies, who’s going to be supporting research and development, who’s going to be supporting extensions of trade abroad for small companies. Currency and policies around that are important as well because that affects how much money we bring back into the company and into the country.� More election coverage P14

“It would influence how I vote, National seems hell-bent on a short-term fix by selling our future. Short-term loans would enable us to repay debts from the dividends.”
“I really don’t want them to sell our assets. It would influence how I vote if it were over 50 percent. I’m concerned 49 percent would be mostly overseas owned.”
“I am absolutely against asset sales and it has definitely helped decide as to how I am going to vote.”
“I think it is a really bad idea. They should be kept in public ownership. Privately owned, service costs usually increase. It possibly would influence how I vote.”
“The country is in such deficit that it would be good to free up some cash to spend in other areas. No, it won’t influence how I vote.”
“It is OK as long as the Government retains over 50 percent ownership, and it won’t really influence the way I’ll vote.”

RULE changes brought about by the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act will enable a new permanent landfill to be established at the Burwood Waste Recovery Park. The site, called a waste ‘cell’ would take earthquake-generated demolition waste, liquefaction silt and infrastructure waste for about the next six years. Environment Canterbury (Ecan) and the Christchurch City Council said if waste had to be moved to Kate Valley regional landfill, near Amberley, the operation would have taken up to three years longer. Christchurch mayor Bob Parker said it was also important to reduce the number of truck movements to and from the site and Kate Valley for local resi-
dents and people living near the arterial routes. He said opening the new landfill cell would keep disposal and recovery costs to a manageable level. Materials like asbestos and other hazardous wastes would still be trucked to the regional landfill, but most materials unable to be recycled or reused, which were not hazardous, would be disposed of in the new Burwood cell, Mr Parker said. “It is estimated around half the waste trucked to Burwood will be recovered and re-used,” he said. Ecan commissioner Peter Skelton said it was essential the coastal aquifer, which is part of Christchurch city’s groundwater zone, was well protected by consent operating conditions, which Ecan would monitor. A 20-metre fine sediment barrier and a geo-textile

membrane inserted between the landfill and the shallowest aquifer and upwards hydraulic pressure combined with the fact only inert and low-risk materials would be disposed of there, would provide that protection, he said. The councils said they would consult with affected parties including Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, the Canterbury District Health Board, Burwood Pegasus Community Board, the Parklands and Queenspark residents associations and park neighbours about the conditions and details of the consents for operating the new cell. They also welcomed central government funding of $2.5 million to help pay for machinery to process material on the Burwood site for recycling and recovery projects like roading.

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 25 2011
MAINLAND PRESS
WITH Election Day tomorrow, Mainland Press asked six political parties what they thought were the important issues for Christchurch and what they would do to address them.
E L E C TI O N S
2 0 11
The people of Christchurch have suffered an enormous loss. Some have lost colleagues, friends and loved ones, others have lost housing and workplaces, all have lost some of the city’s greatest treasures. Immense rebuilding is now necessary, and quick. The question is; what can the central government do to help it happen? ACT believes the most important single thing is actually reducing bureaucracy. The Resource Management Act is out of control and slowing down projects up and down the country. In Christchurch these delays are more costly than anywhere. ACT will streamline the RMA to make rebuilding Christchurch faster. The Green Party earlier this year produced a comprehensive report (available at http://www.greens.org. nz/visionchristchurch) looking at the challenges we face in rebuilding Christchurch as a 21st century ecocity. We consider the Christchurch rebuild should be regarded as an ‘issue of national significance’. It should be paid for through a nationwide levy. People on $48,000 to $70,000 would pay an additional 1.5 percent income tax, while those on over $70,000 would pay an additional three percent. This would return some $5 billion over five years. The Green Party is the only one proposing a dedicated revenue stream to be used exclusively for the rebuild. Labour has practical policies to kick-start Canterbury and speed up the stalled recovery. Labour will purchase an initial 1500 sections to be sold to red-zoned residents at cost; keep the promise Gerry Brownlee broke to compensate homeowners for improvements made after their rating valuation; release all available geotechnical information so homeowners can have confidence in their land zoning; resolve the insurance gridlock by intervening in the insurance market as a last resort; tackle the youth unemployment problem by training local people to fill the skills gap and establish an independent insurance commissioner.
There is a massive range of issues for Otautahi spanning from land zoning and insurance, to the need for advocacy. We are working with Ngai Tahu to ensure Maori are included in our city’s design and development. We are concerned at the way some Christchurch loan sharks are taking advantage of vulnerable citizens. We will introduce an inquiry to shut down loan sharks. One of our key priorities is to eliminate whanau poverty. We are also committed towards getting wider participation in Whanau Ora, to establish Maori solutions to our issues; and restore a sense of self-belief in our communities. The most important issue confronting New Zealand is to keep our debt down and create real jobs. Of course Christchurch and Canterbury have particular needs and National remains committed to rebuilding this great city after the devastating earthquakes. Half of this year’s budget deficit is related to the earthquake rebuild. Our plan includes among other things, receiving and assessing the CBD recovery plan, providing certainty by finishing the orange zone classification process, and starting construction of a 17,000 seat temporary stadium at Addington so Cantabrians can enjoy the benefits once again of hosting large sporting and cultural events. Get on with a simple plan to rebuild Christchurch and impose a special levy to help pay for it. New Zealand is known to be an earthquake-prone country but has never been prepared for the “big ones”. The government should set up a small special earthquake tax levy immediately. Stable land outside the danger zones should be taken under laws that already exist and set aside for rebuilding homes. We need to set up our own insurance company once again. Why? Because if there is one certainty in these uncertain times it is there will be another severe earthquake.

NEXT STEPS FOR IAG CUSTOMERS IN THE FLAT RESIDENTIAL GREEN ZONE AREAS Government confirms if you are in technical category 1 (grey), 2 (yellow) or 3 (blue)
If you have no foundation damage, the technical categories have no effect on your repairs. If you have foundation damage the following steps will apply
IF TC1 Some minor additional foundation works may be required, e.g. providing more reinforcing in the foundation.
IF TC2 The Department of Building and Housing has set clear guidelines for foundation repair or rebuild.
IF TC3 Site-specific engineering solutions will be required, and a geo-tech engineer will be engaged to report on the ground conditions at the site. Based on this report, and the type and style of your home, a structural engineer will design suitable foundations.
If the damage to your home is under $100,000 + GST from each event, EQC will pay for, and manage, your repairs including those to your foundations.
If the damage to your home is over EQC’s agreed cap for your house, the following will apply.
The Government last month announced three new categories for residential foundation designs for flat residential green zone land. The three categories, defined as TC1, TC2 and TC3 or grey, yellow and blue, are based on how the land is likely to behave during a major earthquake. They specify the different types of foundation work required when repairing or rebuilding homes. To check the technical category of your home visit www.landcheck.org.nz.
EQC is currently assessing land damage.
EQC deems land uneconomic to remediate and settles with you on your land.
You retain ownership of the land, but cannot rebuild on site.
IAG will assess your home and discuss settlement options with you.
EQC deems land economic to remediate and completes remediation if necessary.
IAG will work with you to assess and repair or rebuild your home. We are currently in the process of assessing all uninhabitable homes. Once we understand the implications of any necessary land remediation, we will organise geotechnical assessments where and when required. A scope of works will be created for the repair or rebuild of your home, if additional foundation work is required the associated cost will be included in the scope of work. Where possible, we will begin repairing and rebuilding.

Historic building reopens in central Christchurch THE first historic building in central Christchurch to be restored and reopened since the February earthquake is being officially reopened today. Work to strengthen and restore the NG building at 212 Madras Street, originally Bain’s warehouse, started three days after the quake, owners Sharon Ng and Roland Logan said. “A team of friends pitched in to help us.” Prior to February 22 the building housed a fashion boutique, a café and an art gallery. The boutique reopened for business on September 30. “The gallery and café won’t be reopening but we are hoping to open a bar in the former gallery area,” Ms Ng said. The National, a contemporary jewellery gallery formerly located on High Street, has taken space in the building. More businesses will be located there when the refurbishment is complete. Husband and wife Ms Ng and Mr Logan have been restoring and renovating the heritage building since 2003. In 2009 they were awarded a Civic Trust Award for their innovative use and care of the building. “When we purchased the building from Kenneth Bain we promised him we would look after it – and that’s what we have done. We would do anything to stop this beautiful building being pulled down so we have put Restored: Sharon Ng and Roland Logan an incredible amount of effort into strengthening and outside the Ng building.

Red zone bus hours extended ONGOING demand for the CBD red zone bus trips has prompted the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) to extend the hours of operation. Buses can now be booked on Saturdays from 1pm to 7pm and on Sundays between 9am and 7pm. To date the bus trips have attracted almost 13,000 people, representing 97 per cent of the initial capacity. A Cera YouTube video of the CBD route, with commentary from the general manager of demolitions Warwick Isaacs, is also proving popular. It has clocked up over 55,000 views and can be seen here: http://cera.govt.nz/cbd-red-zone/videoand-audio-of-the-cbd-bus-route An audio file can also be downloaded here for passengers who want to play a personal commentary on their MP3 player or iPod during the trip.

Town Hall organ has ‘minimal’ earthquake damage THE organ in Christchurch Town Hall’s main auditorium has sustained ‘unbelievably minimal damage’ following recent earthquakes, a report says. The report was prepared for Christchurch City Council by Wendelin Eberle, president of Austrian company Rieger-Orgelbau, which built the organ. It said the 14-year old organ’s structure, and its delicate mechanisms were undamaged. It recommended some of the organ’s pipes would need to be replaced or repaired as they were damaged. The organ will also need to be cleaned,
revoiced and tuned. This work will most likely be covered by the council’s insurance. “Compared to what happened in general, the damage to the organ is unbelievably minimal. There’s nothing which can’t be repaired or restored and only a few pipes have to be replaced,” the report said. During his visit from Austria to inspect the organ this month, Mr Eberle also stabilised it and its damaged pipes to prevent any more damage occurring. Expert opinion: Mr Wendelin Eberle inspects the pipes of the Town hall organ. Photo: Jenny Setchell

A LONG history and the ability to tell customers exactly what’s in each jar were the keys to landing a significant export deal with an Asian supermarket giant, according to New Zealand’s oldest honey manufacturer. Airborne Honey products were recently launched in more than 100 E-Mart stores – South Korea’s largest supermarket chain. The agreement came after E-Mart undertook a year-long, global search for a well-established, ethical honey supplier with a strong product. Established in 1910, Canterburybased Airborne Honey is one of the country’s oldest companies. This was key to E-Mart’s decision to choose Airborne as Korean customers place significant value on the age of a company, deeming it trustworthy when it has stood the test of time.

Apprentice Marianna Brown was awarded the Jasmine McBeth Memorial Scholarship for her commitment to achieving her goals. Up until the February 22 earthquake, she had worked at Christchurch salon Surreal. After the quake, she found herself without a source of income and had

The inaugural winner of the hairdressing Trainer of the Year Award, Niq James, also from Christchurch, lost his salon in the earthquake. Despite the setback, he worked intensively with Laura Simpson, New Zealand’s WorldSkills competitor in London this year. He was also a judge at the event.

Delight to the eye, not the nose
What’s that smell: Rachel Alexander and her son Henry Acton-Adams, six, with the stinky plant called Devil’s Tongue which has bloomed in the garden this week. Photo: Samantha Early
Samantha Early
In brief
THERE’S something creating a stink in Fendalton. Resident and businesswoman Rachel Alexander, of Alexanders Internet Marketing, woke up on Tuesday wondering what the disgusting smell was at her home office. “I thought it must have been a dead mouse brought in by the cat.� While searching for the missing mouse she realised the stench was coming from a plant that she had never noticed before in her eight years’ living there. An online search revealed it to be a rare plant called devil’s tongue, which takes ten years to bloom and only flowers twice in its life span. Even though it smells like rotting flesh, which is to attract flies to pollinate it, Ms Alexander said it was quite a gorgeous colour. She said people were welcome to drop by Alexanders Internet Marketing, located at 166 Fendalton Road, to see and smell the devil’s tongue, but it would only be flowering until Monday.

Tui’s return celebrated
A COFFEE & MUFFIN/SCONE COMBO
The tui bird’s return to Akaroa and its surrounding bays is being celebrated in the form of a calendar following a successful programme to re-introduce it after a three-decade absence. The Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust, which was responsible for releasing 72 birds at Hinewai and Otanerito in 2009 and 2010, teamed up with photographer Lew Matthews to produce a 2012 calendar. Called Tui and Friends, it includes images of tui, bellbird, kereru, silvereye and fantail, all photographed on Banks Peninsula, many of them in Akaroa. The calendar is now on sale at outlets on the Peninsula and through the trust’s website and the funds raised will go to the trust for further monitoring of tui and predator control.

They also contain niacin (vitamin B3) which helps to stabilise blood sugar and help monitor your cholesterol. Vitamin B3 also helps your body to process fats. A cup of strawberries contains approximately 53 calories.

o you feel guilty when you don’t get it right or make a mistake? Do you feel awful about it? Do you realise later that you could have said something differently? But how does one define a mistake anyway? It might be that you are judging yourself according to what you think someone else expects. You may have done something different from your interpreta on of what should happen. It might be that you were responding from a place of hurt. Take care and try to understand yourself.

ne thing I openly admit to is being obsessed with food. As soon as I have finished one meal, I am thinking about the next. Nothing unusual about that at all. Although, what amuses me is that this confession o en makes people laugh and I’m not totally sure why. I don’t normally hang around long enough to ask because the answers will probably confirm what I know deep down, which is that I will never be a size six, crave le uce leaves, or drink spirulina. The fact is, I didn’t even know how to spell the invigora ng, green healthy juice/sludge (apologies to all those spirulina fans out there, but it’s a no-go zone for me). It’s obvious that I love food, look like I know how to feed myself, and have an unhealthy obsession with real bu er and I mean real bu er.

If you don’t know anyone who you can get some from, garden centres have heaps of plants through spring, summer, and autumn. It’s not normally around in the winter as most varie es hide underground during the coldest months. Rhubarb enjoys a fer le, well-drained soil in full sun and loathes wet feet, which is good for all those living in the CCC areas on water restric ons. It doesn’t like sandy soils unless plenty of manure, compost, and organic ma er is added. To promote more stems, keep plants well-watered through the dry periods.

fer liser once a year in spring. Rhubarb will happily grow in a slightly acidic soil. Watch out for slugs and snails as they can quickly shred the lush leaves. The only downside to rhubarb is that the leaves are poisonous, but this is only a problem if you decide to feed them to anyone or anything such as chooks or animals. Leaves can be composted or added to your green waste recycling. Pick when the stalks are thick enough or it’s up to you! Larger stalks can some mes taste bi er and become woody. When harves ng, grasp a stalk ďŹ rmly close to the ground. Twist and pull the stalk and it should break free of the plant. Do this carefully as you don’t want to break o new shoots while you are picking your crop. If you can’t twist the stems easily, cut the stems as close to the base of the plant as possible.

More choices to make tomorrow
Hon Lianne Dalziel
Dr Therese Arseneau, University of Canterbury
MP for Christchurch East
THE referendum on the voting system being held in conjunction with tomorrow’s general election will give us the opportunity to say how our MPs should be elected in the future. When we go to vote, we’ll be given two ballot papers: our normal orange ballot paper for electing MPs, as well as a purple referendum ballot paper, which is in two parts. Part A asks whether we want to keep the mixed member proportional (MMP) voting system or change to another voting system. No matter how we vote in Part A of the referendum, we should also vote in Part B. It asks: “If New Zealand were to change to another voting system, which voting system would you choose?” It gives us four options to choose from:

first past the post (FPP) preferential voting (PV) single transferable vote (STV) supplementary member (SM)
It’s not difficult to come to grips with the concepts behind the five voting systems. They fall into three broad families based on the outcomes they tend to produce. FPP and PV are examples of “plurality-majoritarian” systems. The larger parties (and especially the winning party) tend to win a share of seats in Parliament larger than their share of all the votes, and it is difficult for small parties to win seats. As a result, FPP and PV often produce parliaments where just one party has a majority of the seats and can thus form a government on its own, without the need for coalitions. MMP and STV are both types of proportional representation. This means that big and small parties tend to be represented in parliament in numbers that roughly mirror their share of votes. As a result, it’s more difficult for one party to form a government on its own and usually requires coalitions or agreements between parties. SM produces a parliament that is mostly elected by FPP; only one-quarter of the seats are proportional. Larger parties are likely to win the lion’s share of

seats, with some representation of smaller parties in the 30 supplementary seats. As a result, similar to FPP and PV, SM is likely to produce single-party majority governments. Each voting system has features that will appeal to some voters but not to others. Your choice tomorrow will come down to your own assessment about what is important in an electoral system, and what you think is the best system for New Zealand. The toolkit on the Electoral Commission’s referendum website www.referendum.org.nz may help you decide which system is right for you. If half of us vote to keep MMP, then the Electoral Commission must independently review some of its finer points and recommend changes to parliament. If more than half of us vote for another voting system, then the next parliament will almost certainly hold a binding follow-up referendum pitting MMP against whichever voting system gets the most votes on Part B of the referendum ballot paper. This referendum is important – make sure you have your say.

MOTORING
Does the Jeep Patriot overhaul go far enough? Bob Nettleton
F
The 125kw 2.4 litre petrol engine is eager to please. Performance is reasonably effortless, but is not delivered with a great deal of verve. What we have here is a competent, but benign, motor. Transmission has been recalibrated, giving a 10 per cent improvement in its fuel economy. Longer-legged gearing for lower fuel consump on lacks the aggression to give the motor a strong launching pad from standing starts and for in-gear accelera on. As a lifestyle vehicle, it offers a variety of rack a achments to carry larger items. A high load floor limits the amount of luggage you can cram behind the rear seat. I easily nego ated the test vehicle along a few bumpy and bony riverside tracks, but when you consider its 4WD pedigree, it’s hardly surprising.

our years ago, Jeep failed in its bid to snare sales in the urban SUV market largely because it lacked sufficient finesse, performance, and style. Not even the Jeep badge could compensate. A recent overhaul of the Patriot goes some way to addressing these shortcomings. Now, the ques on is, does it go far enough? A er test driving the 2011 model, I have my doubts. Just two petrol-powered 4WD automa cs of the Patriot are offered: ‘Sport’ priced at $39,990 with a $4000 step up to the ‘Limited’ supplied for this road test. Most of the really meaningful changes are below the surface with increased ride height for off-road driving, upgrades to the steering, suspension, and the cabin. Some reworking of the suspension allows the Patriot to be pushed a bit harder and with greater confidence around corners. Unless severely provoked, it has good ride and handling.

Claydon returns for Canterbury Wizards
From the sideline
with Pete Smith

Chasing our cricketing ‘ashes’ THE New Zealand Black Caps are about to start their campaign to capture what are really our cricketing ashes. As every Kiwi knows, any sporting clash with our neighbours across the Tasman has very special importance to us. If there is any country we like to get one over on it has to be Australia. Some sporting encounters are easier than others are when we take on the ‘lucky country’. Rugby, bowls and even sailing are always a royal chance for us to take the honours. When we tackle rugby league, netball and cricket, though, it always proves to be a whole lot more difficult. Sure, from time to time we do manage to get up and over them but not often enough by any stretch of the imagination to go into those encounters as favourites or certainties to take out the top prize. As our cricketers prepare to take on the guys in the ‘baggy green caps’

they will be only too aware that this is not an Aussie team chock-full of world-class talent the likes of which we have clashed with in the past 30 years. But underestimate them at your peril lads! Both pre and post-World War Two the tours our sporting representatives from the colony really wanted to go on were the ones that went to England and the other home unions. Let’s face it, this was the part of the globe from which most of the players originated. It was also the base from which
Fitzsimon back on top
Riding high: Rolleston’s Tegan Fitzsimon and her horse Alacazam MH have continued their strong run of form winning the Cathay Pacific Horse Grand Prix at the Southern Canterbury A&P Show in Waimate last weekend. Fitzsimon and Alacazam MH were one of only two clear rounds to go through to the jump-off, stopping the clock at 44.13 seconds to win. Ashburton’s Susie Hayward riding Andretti had to settle for second, backing up from a smart win at the recent Canterbury A&P Show She finished just four seconds slower than Fitzsimon.
most sport originated and we were continually reminded that the ‘boys from the colony really had a bit of a nerve to expect to return home with a win. Trans-Tasman rivalry has replaced a lot of the ‘gloss’ that used to be a part of the competition offered by the ‘Mother country’. After all both countries have had to battle to carve out our nationhood so no wonder these sporting engagements have an extra edge to them. I hope that Cantabrian coach John Wright can instil in these Black Caps the same gritty determination he showed, firstly as a gutsy opening bat and then as the first non-national to coach the Indian cricket team. The only certainty in this two-test campaign is that the Aussies will give you nothing, you will have to win fair and square on your own efforts and abilities. Australia is certainly not an opposition that will do us any favours, so guys – don’t expect any!
DURHAM pace bowler Mitchell Claydon will return to play for the Canterbury Wizards this season. Claydon had a very successful stint with the Wizards last season capturing 12 oneday wickets in only five matches. He returns to Canterbury after a very
successful twenty 20 campaign for Durham in England in which he was the secondhighest wicket taker for the county. His one-day figures were even better, capturing 21 wickets to be the second-highest wicket taker in the country in the Clydesdale Bank 40 domestic competition.
