Struan Place ‘destroyed’ By THERESE HENKIN
T
he residents of Struan Place are protesting a possible housing development which will leave their small street over-crowded. Residents have already had to contend with an overbearing development in the street and don’t want to see any further demolition or building. The street’s homeowners have had to watch the sale of 2 Struan Place which has since had the original home knocked down and devel-
oped into two three-storey terraced houses, which is allowed by the Auckland Unitary Plan’s mixed housing urban zone. The development has taken a significant toll on the neighbourhood with the two new houses blocking the neighbours’ street view and sunlight and invading their privacy, residents say. There have also been concerns over unsafe building practices, noise and overcrowding. When 3 Struan Place was purchased by another developer, with
the intention to develop the land into three-level high density housing, frustration boiled over. Maree Harman, a long-time Struan place resident, says they are feeling hopeless after the owners of the property next door to 3 Struan Place felt pressured to sell their property to the same developer. When the sale goes unconditional on July 31 this year, the developer will own the neighbouring properties 3 and 5 Struan Place, she says. “What we have heard is that he
plans to build up to six three-storey terraced houses here or sell the land to somebody else who will and our street just isn’t big enough,” Harman says. She says if the development goes ahead it will bring the total number of three-storey terraced houses to eight. The two properties have already been listed with Ray White Flat Bush, which advertised it as potential building development, she says. “Potential to propose 3 level high density housing, similar construc-
tion project has already started on the same street,” the listing states. The street only has 10 plots of land, all of which either have only one house on it or a house and a small granny flat. “We have one of, if not the smallest street in Highland Park. I just don’t think if somebody from council who was signing off on these consents visited our street would reasonably be able to say our street can sustain such large developments,” she says. ➤ Turn to Page 3

t’s one of the longest-running shows in West End and Broadway and has been performed in around 30 countries and seen by more than 73 million people worldwide. St Kentigern College student Isabelle Fox cannot believe she is a part of the new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats, the brilliant song and dance extravaganza performed by the National Youth Theatre at the ASB Theatre. Featuring more than 200 talented young performers from all over Auckland, Isabelle plays the dancing white cat Victoria who reaches out to faded glamour cat Grizabella while everyone else has turned away from her. “I am very much like her in real life and am inclusive by nature,” says the 15-year-old student, who started dancing

The experience has been an inspiration as I prepare for my role in Cats,” she says. “Our costumes in Cats are world class, they’re just amazing. It’s such a privileged to work with professional performers. I was lucky that I was selected at the first audition.” Based on TS Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, the show is alive with feline characters including Rum Tum Tugger, Macavity, Jennyanydots, Old Deuter-

About transporting the audience into a complete fantasy world she says, “It is so much fun to humanise a cat and to be able to sing and dance on stage with so many people. “The challenge is to have perfect timing with everyone on stage and to make sure it looks good,” says the talented dancer. While this is the first professional production the Year 10 student is part of, Isalbelle is not new to challenges of juggling homework with tight dance schedules, workshops and competitions.

the Government will not be going ahead with its proposal to scrap the three strikes law. This is because New Zealand First declined to support it in the face of widespread opposition from New Zealanders worried about the safety of our communities. The Government has a laudable goal to reduce prison numbers by a third, but without a plan to combat serious crime it will only be able do that by letting more offenders out on our streets. Their original announcement to repeal the three strikes law was met with outrage by the public because it would compromise public safety, which should always be the primary
concern. National responded to public safety concerns by tightening up our bail laws in 2013 to make it harder for serious offenders to be granted bail, while the three strikes law gave judges the ability to put the worst offenders away for the maximum sentence without parole on their third conviction. This law is reserved for the most serious and recidivist offenders who shouldn’t be able to get away with committing more crimes against innocent New Zealanders. Labour wanted to reverse these changes, blaming them for the increase in our prison population, but have
Simeon Brown MP for Pakuranga been forced to see reason by National and NZ First, who previously campaigned on introducing three strikes legislation and stiffer punishments for serious offenders. The truth is 98 per cent of people in our prisons are there for the most serious and violent crimes, including aggravated assaults, sexual violence, and murder. These are the people that the Government will let loose on our communities if it doesn’t ensure we have
enough capacity in our prison system and if they had reversed the changes we made. Their headline target to reduce the prison population by 30 per doesn’t stack up with a lack of new initiatives to reduce crime. The measure of success must be to reduce the number of victims, not the number of prisoners, and if we can do the former we will achieve the latter. This Government has no plan to reduce crime. Its chaotic decision-making repeatedly ignores what is most important, and National won’t stand by and let them compromise the safety of New Zealanders. Simeon Brown is MP for Pakuranga

➤➤From page 1 “I have raised my family here and now our small close-knit street community is being taken over by these huge houses that will block our sunlight, invade our privacy and add to the already overcrowded street.” Harman says she is concerned about fire and emergency services being able to access the street when needed, especially while the construction is ongoing, the increased risk of fire spreading and how water and waste will be managed. Harman is not alone in her concerns and had more than 15 neighbours join her earlier this month to meet Councillor Sharon Stewart and local MP Simeon Brown. Brown says the main concerns raised included contractors blocking the streets, creating noise throughout the week, and the environmental impact caused by the size of the development. “I understand their concerns about the impact this large development will have on their small residential cul-de-sac, which is unfortunately allowed under the Unitary Plan,” he says. Brown says he is working with Stewart to ensure residents maintain access to their homes, and ensure that the building consent conditions are being complied with on the construction site to minimise the impact on the neighbourhood and surrounding environment. Harman and other residents on the street have raised the matter with council numerous times and are asking for consent not to be given to any more three-level high density housing development proposals on the street. “Ideally we want [council] to revisit the unitary plan and realise that a mixed housing zone should not be applied to streets as small as Struan Place.” Auckland Council resource consents manager Ian Smallburn said that despite having received a number of emails from residents and Simeon Brown about the development in Struan Place, they have not yet received any

applications for 3 or 5 Struan Place. Smallburn says all consent proposals are assessed in accordance with the relevant zone requirements of the land, which in this case would be ‘Mixed Housing Urban’. “In the case of a resource consent application, a comprehensive assessment of a proposal within the subject site/s is made, including how the proposal interacts with the street, such as - the location of proposed vehicle crossings in relation to existing vehicles crossing and intersections,” he says. Smallburn says a site visit is usually undertaken in the instance of a resource consent application and all the concerns raised by the residents of Struan Place are considered when granting resource consent. He says under the Unitary Plan requirements the street is wide enough for both council services and emergency services to access the street, and all proposals are assessed for the provision of services and how they
manage stormwater. There are also strict yard requirements to meet to safeguard properties from fire spreading. And while the building of taller houses will mean less access to sunlight and privacy, this “has to be countered against the need to use land more efficiently and provide a lot more houses within the Auckland urban limits,” he says. Smallburn says the Auckland Unitary Plan (AUP) requires less parking per dwelling which serves the council’s long-term strategy for encouraging the use of public transport. Harman says she and the resident of Struan Place will continue to fight to stop the development of anymore multistorey high density housing on the street. “This is our home and we want it to stay that way. We won’t let them destroy our street,” she says. The Times has attempted to locate and speak to the owner of 3 and 5 Struan Place.

Panchal going off to Space Camp V
ivek Panchal, a Year 12 student at Howick College, along with four other Kiwi students and a teacher, have been selected by Royal Society Te Aparangi to attend the International Space Camp (ISC) in Huntsville, Alabama in July. The Society received more than 100 applications from students wishing to attend ISC and the selection panel was “most impressed” with the standard of applicants. ISC brings together students from all over the world to build relationships and challenges themselves as learners. Thirtyfive countries participate and
some of these include Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. The students will be both challenged academically and physically through extended duration missions and, if they wish, experiencing microgravity in the Underwater Astronaut Trainer.

Science Championships, where he topped the school and was in the top 5 per cent of 80,000 competitors around the world. “I am very interested in all aspects of science (particularly physics and chemistry), but I am also curious to understand a lot more than meets the eye (like electromagnetic radiation). I am looking forward to meeting like-minded people that love and enjoy science where we can share and discuss issues that face our world today,” he says. Vivek would like to study physics or engineering at university the year after next.
A Stunning New Finesse Home in Macleans Zone
Food festival a huge success By Therese Henkin More than $2500 was raised at Howick College’s annual international food festival. Hundreds of students came together last week to prepare food, sell tickets and organise stalls for the event. The festival is held by Ingham house every year to raise money for a chosen charity. This year the money will go towards purchasing an e-braille book and towards a guide dog puppy for the Blind Foundation NZ. The stalls featured East European, German, Korean, Czech, Chinese, Filipino, Fijian Indian, Indian, South African, Abkazain, Brazilian, Maori, English, Greek, Pacific Islands, Italian, Swedish and Wakanda (Africa). Ingham House leader and head girl Inka Pleiss says every years the international food festival brings the community together. “Everyone plays a part – students, teachers, staff and parents alike. The planning in all honesty is terrifying – there is always a fear that not enough will buy tickets, that not enough food will be made, but when everything comes together as perfectly as it did last Friday, the adrenaline rush is real,” she says. “We couldn’t have asked for a better team or a better day and the food festival remains the school’s jewel charity event.” The food festival was part of the Howick College culture week which also included a multi-cultural performance at lunchtime and a national costume parade.

Thank you for your article of June 7.
There is a saying, “You cannot beat City Hall”, and with an answer to everything – there is so much - “hui hui” and little “dui dui”. The pathway damage to Macleans Park happened in July 2017. Add that to no maintenance. Now we have
approximately 60 blocked culverts - 41 culverts have been cleared by the community. Now we receive instructions to ‘desist immediately.’ Howick people are “dui dui” people not “hui hui” folk.

Women In Business Get a haircut – help save the planet Elaine Sun of Wynyard Wood Hair salon owner Bridgette Young has taken a big step up and incorporated environmental responsibility into her business. Off The Fringe in Howick’s Elliot Street has become east Auckland’s first organic hair salon. They have reduced the chemicals used in the salon, part of their first step in caring for the planet. By using organic products, products that are safe for the environment as well as better for you, Off the Fringe is being part of the bigger picture, by taking some responsibility. “It is important to me, as an owner and stylist, to have a sustainable salon as I want to be able to do my part in helping protect the environment and show people that it doesn’t have to be difficult,” says Bridgette. They have recently become accredited as a Sustainable Salon, meaning the next step in their footprint is taken care of and almost every bit of waste is turned to good. Many will be surprised to learn that the salon
industry sends more than 1500 tonnes of recyclable aluminium back to landfill each year in New Zealand and in Australia. Add to this the waste of plastics, colour tubes, cut hair and other salon waste, and the cost of your hair treatment becomes higher than the price you pay to the salon. Off the Fringe Organic Hair Studio is changing all this. “The salon industry needs to take action now, and take care of the environment as much as we take care of clients”, says
Bridgette. “We care about making Off the Fringe as eco-friendly as possible, and when we looked at what we could do to become more sustainable ecologically and economically, becoming part of the Sustainable Salon movement was the obvious next step in achieving this.” Off the Fringe now recycles 95% of their waste by using the comprehensive resource recovery programme offered by Sustainable Salons.
A breath of fresh air... Kindness, sincerity and passion are the three things that make Wendy Janse Van Rensburg a great businesswoman. She’s no more interested in running a successful business than she is about giving her customers the time and attention they deserve. “I remind myself that my customers have chosen to come here over the thousands of other places, so it’s my moral obligation to give them the best experience possible,” she says. It’s been two years since Wendy first put her stylish stamp on Cascades Trading Post, a shabby chic gift and homeware store in Pakuranga. The store is filled with everything from antique china through to delicate linen, ceramic tableware by Liquid Canvass, luxurious Italian clothing, masses of hand-sewn cushions and European antiques. Each item is handpicked and in keeping with a classic French Provencal style. The furniture is rescued and restored by Wendy’s husband and the cushions and table running’s are hand-made in luxurious fabrics by Wendy’s colleague, Moira Aucamp.

Do you need an accountant? Carol Rigby is no stranger to managing the accounts of Howick locals. She has run her business as a chartered accountant for 20 years in the area. With a steady stream of loyal clients, Carol focuses on small-medium businesses, property investment investors and contractors for accounting and business consulting. Carol offers a review after finishing a business client’s accounts which focuses on identifying trends in profitability and what their plans are for their business in the next year going-forward. “If it’s going down then you want to look at why that is and if it’s going up then you might want to canvas why that is and exploit that a little more,” she says. That opens up the conversation for the client to have a discussion around where they’re heading as well as looking through their last set of accounts.
Having an accountant is also an accountability factor for many, says Carol, who understands the importance of being able to bounce ideas off people and having a reminder to stay on track. Carol and her team work with MYOB and Xero and can assist with setting up the client with online accounting. We also monitor results so action can be taken where needed. They offer clients the opportunity to have the GST returns done for them which then allows Carol to monitor the updated accounts regularly. Carol offers a free half hour consultation where she discusses what will be required for their business. If you need your accounts sorted, some financial business advice or are starting out in business, head in to see Carol and her team for the complete accounting package. JH12126

A huge goal for the store is on restoration and recycling and Wendy upholds these values in all aspects of her business, including wrapping purchased items in old recycled sewing patterns. These little details are what has created the stores enchanting ambience and has allowed it to become, as many customers call it, a happy place. Wendy is a firm believer in everybody deserving a beautiful home, so she goes above and beyond to keep prices fair and reasonable. With a background in fashion and interior design, Wendy says she loves being able to help clients transform their homes with stylish decor. As well as cushion-making, table runner making and upholstery, this year she is expanding her interior design services and also offering clients help to declutter and reorganise their homes. And for only $45 an hour, it’s never been more accessible to start creating a beautiful space to call your own, she says. Wendy gives her clients many reasons to return to the Cascades Trading Post, but the most important is her warm smile and friendly approach.

The Asian Practice was created to provide Wynyard Wood’s Asian clients (and potential clients) with the choice to obtain legal advice from lawyers with Asian language skills and cultural background. Elaine says that while many Asian law firms in Auckland specialise only in property law, Wynyard Wood is a full service law firm so they can advise on all legal areas including commercial, property, private client, and litigation and family services. Wynyard Wood lawyers work together with Asian teams within banks, accountants and other professionals to provide a seamless service to clients, she says. The Asian practice is supported with a team of 23 at the Highbrook office with an additional 11 staff at the CBD and Warkworth offices. Wynyard Woods origins date way back to 1894 and has grown and adapted with its clients serving clients changing needs for over a century. Elaine is very aware of the complexities of conveyancing and is there to help lead clients through what can be a very stressful time. CP2374A

Elaine Sun is a legal executive with Wynyard Wood working mainly in property focusing on residential sales and purchases. As a qualified legal executive, Elaine has been working with Wynyard Wood out of the Highbrook office for nearly a year. She started out her career studying for an accounting degree, but when she completed a commercial law paper as part of her studies she realised law was her true passion. After finishing the accounting degree she decided to pursue a career in law. Elaine has continued studying for her law degree throughout her time as a legal executive and later this year she will be admitted to the New Zealand Law Society. Elaine has been able to use her own background and experiences to help her clients. As a fluent mandarin speaker she has been able to reach out to Wynyard Woods Asian clients and help guide them through their legal matters. She is also working alongside Irene Wu in Wynyard Woods Asian practice.
Dynamic Real Estate agent Ellen Ming has one of the most recognisable faces on the Bucklands Beach peninsula and her journey has been an interesting one. At 19 years of age she established a clothing business in Auckland CBD that grew to employ several staff. A few years later, alongside her husband she opened and managed cafes around Auckland whilst maintaining the clothing business and starting a family. Once the children were through their primary years, she was finally in a position to move into the industry she had set her sights on many years prior – real estate. She found her negotiation and people skills gained in her previous endeavours to be a fantastic asset when navigating the real estate world. Ellen has consistently been an Elite Performer with Ray White for more than 18 years that she has been in the industry. Elite members represent the top two per cent
of the entire Ray White workforce based on sales. Her focus is on marketing homes to achieve the very best sale price for her clients and after 30 years of living in the community and knowing the houses intimately, is able to match the right buyer with the perfect home. When Ray White relocated its Wharf Road operation to Half Moon Bay, Ellen took the opportunity for a new venture. The Bucklands Beach office became a stand along boutique office, which enabled Ellen to focus on her own marketing whilst being part of the Ray White group. Ellen says, “we are very much part of the community” having helped hundreds of people move into new homes. “It is a privilege being part of people’s changing lives and seeing their dreams come true.” If you are thinking of selling your home and want to entrust it to a proven expert who has sold over 500 homes locally, do give Ellen a call.

rmy veterans, later called “Fencibles” were used in Roman times in Colchester and Lincoln in England using veteran Roman troops as settlers to keep the conquered British tribes under control, with satisfactory results. But British Fencible emigration had disastrous results in 1832 and 1833 when the Government sent 3000 army veterans to Upper Canada or New Brunswick in Canada. The men could cash in their pensions to be spent on liquor and other “necessities”. There were no officers watching them. Some sold their allotments even before they had left Britain. Others succumbed to diseases, hunger, severe-weather and unfriendly Indians in Canada. Few completed the task. Some politicians had no faith in the military veterans to make good settlers. The Fencibles being sent to Auckland New Zealand must have new rules! The Hon. Fox Maule, later Lord Panmure, claimed that old soldiers make poor settlers due to lack of discipline and too much lazing about. So those going to New Zealand will need military officers to administer discipline and strict controls. There would be weekly inspections and training for the possible protection of Auckland. In 1847, the army veterans were promised a tworoomed cottage ready on arrival, land cleared for planting of crops, a school for children and a church. These promises were not kept. In 1848, when the Howick Fencibles had recently arrived in Auckland, there were water restrictions in the hot summer and many queued with buckets by the wells. Some wells dried up and charcoal filters were recommended to clear the water of

sediment. The Southern Cross Newspaper in 1849 claimed the Howick Fencible settlement should be abandoned as soon as possible and either drafted into other settlements or a new one formed for the victims within reach of employment. Governor Sir George Grey in February 1850 wrote to Earl Grey [formerly Lord Howick] in the British Parliament exaggerating the situation, “feathering his own political nest” and said “that the progress of the men towards comfort and competence, has been as great as could have been anticipated, in addition to their cottages and gardens etc – they have three horses and 171 head of cattle among them as a result of their own exertions and industry”. Most of the cattle were acquired by the officers having a higher rate of pay. Grey said they have excellent houses, employment for 12 months, medical attendance, an acre of land for
each private and two acres for non-commissioned officers and they have horses, stock [cattle] with officers to guide, counsel and assist them…William Fox claims any ordinary settler would have cultivated more land, had more cattle and would have savings from his wages. For more than 400 army veterans, it was a poor return. William Fox, four times Prime Minister of New Zealand, was very critical of military veterans as immigrants. In 1851 he said “that from a military point of view Fencibles were altogether useless. Placed in a sort of cordon around Auckland to protect it from large tribes to south and west, but being mere straggling villages [of Howick, Panmure, Otahuhu and Onehunga] without any sort of fortification, if natives should ever wish to attack the capital [Auckland] they would any morning before daylight, walk through the whole of them, massacre the inhabitants in their beds and having seized their arms and ammunition, proceed on their way to Auckland… Regarding the colonising point of view, the pensioner system could prove no other than failure”. He claimed Fencible families would have similar habits. By the 1850s, Auckland was growing. The swamp of the Ligar Canal was drained and filled in. In 1852 gold was found in Coromandel starting a gold-rush of 3000 men eager to make their fortunes. But Fencibles would lose their cottage, acre of land and their pensions stopped if they left for Coromandel. A few misguided Fencibles left for the goldfields with serious consequences.

“It’s simply not worth the risk” – keep your books squeaky clean
ADVERTORIAL JH13278A
Tradesmen Jailed for Tax Evasion In February of this year, two tradesmen were tried and jailed for not meeting their IRD obligations. Between them they had avoided paying nearly $2m in taxes, made up of invoiced but unpaid GST and undeclared earnings stretching back over 17 years. They received two years one month and two years seven months in jail respectively.
IRD – “we’re addressing Tax Crimes in the Building Sector”
Pat Callinan
The IRD is committed to ensuring others aren’t cheating the system in the same way, and is intent on exposing them, stating that this was part of a clear plan to “address tax crime in the building sector”. In other words, it believes that this is the tip of the iceberg, and that there are many operating illegally throughout the country.
For over 15 years, here at Pat Callinan Accounting we have been supporting our local community, giving advice and protecting financial interests. Looking after local tradesmen is of particular interest to us at the moment. Recent events demonstrate that the building sector is top of mind for the IRD, and we want to make sure that all our tradesmen are doing things right, and are safe from investigation.
Don’t Take the Risk
As Accountants with many years’ experience working with tradesmen, our strong advice is to make sure
We Can Help You
your books are squeaky-clean so that there is nothing to arouse the suspicions of the IRD; it’s simply not worth the risk. Whilst it may appear to be business as usual for you, the IRD is skilled at exposing fraud; it has many resources at its disposal and dedicated experts whose sole purpose is to investigate potential tax avoiders.
If you have any nagging doubts, call us TODAY. There will be no judgement for past mistakes - we will simply work with you to ensure that all your obligations are met, so that you can get on with business without having to look over your shoulder. If you have any concerns about your tax situation, please call us
and on the way we’re changing our name too!

Agreement reached over quarry F
ulton Hogan, Clevedon Protection Society, Clevedon Cares and Clevedon Conversations are reported to be pleased that an agreement has been reached regarding Fulton Hogan’s resource consent application to expand operations at Clevedon Quarry. The agreement is confidential. Fulton Hogan said in a media release last Friday that there was one remaining “discreet issue” between Auckland Transport and Fulton Hogan that will be subject to on-going discussion. “As occurs with any mediation,
all parties have compromised in order to reach this agreement,” the civil engineering company said. “This was achieved in a positive and professional manner, with an outcome that recognises the needs of both the community and Fulton Hogan’s commercial operation. “Both parties would like to recognise and commend the mediation process, facilitated by an Environment Court Commissioner, which enabled a forum by which frank and productive conversations could be held. Fulton Hogan said it looked
forward to continuing its relationship and involvement in the Clevedon community over the coming years, and to providing a much-needed resource for Auckland’s continued development and maintenance of infrastructure. The Clevedon Protection Society was approached for comment. The Times also asked about the nature of the agreement. Fulton Hogan replied: “What has been agreed are the conditions, which are being submitted as part of the court process. As with any court
documents, these remain confidential at present. The long-awaited hearing began in December. The hearing was to determine whether resource consent could be granted to increase production from the McNicol Road quarry from 200,000 tonnes per annum to 3 million tonnes per annum. Residents have been fighting the move for months, citing concerns over heavy truck and trailer movements which they say are projected to increase from 100 per day, to 1306 per day. Locals claim the roads are
unsuitable to handle such heavy truck traffic and want the number of trucks on the roads to be reduced. The Clevedon Protection Society said the quarry expansion did not consider the housing intensification in Clevedon village. “The effects are not just in Clevedon but also closely linked to almost identical issues which have arisen at the Brookby Quarry and (nearby) Pascoes Landfill. Traffic safety on the road network is a major concern. The roads are simply not up to the task.
Police liven up the school day A few weeks ago, Madison Fennessy sent this lovely letter (see right) to the police. Point View School media liaison Stuart Rankin said: “As a result, the police called asking if we would like them to present to the school as a bit of a thank you and as an experience for all students. “They first showed off their exciting armed offenders kit and made a point of explaining that the most powerful/ useful bit of tech they had was their phone as communication was key. They then went of to demo a bit of dog handling and an arrest with dog going for man getting hold of him. “Finally they made their grandest entrance landing the Eagle helicopter on our field for all 800-plus kids to get up close to.” A video is viewable at https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=YTrD6aKcIb4.

Dazzle outshines controversy
Bidois wins seat for National
Dan Bidois, a strategist and economist from Howick, is the new Northcote MP. Bidois easily won Saturday’s by-election with 10,147 votes against Labour’s Shanan Halbert who received 8785, a margin of 1362 votes. Labour increased its proportion of votes. Bidois told the Times he is “really happy” with the result, with National’s support holding up at 51.1 per cent (similar to the 2017 election
with Jonathan Coleman) of the vote compared to the coalition party’s support. He has attended his first Caucus meeting already. “I’m looking forward to working hard for the people of Northcote on key campaign issues like congestion, opposing extra fuel taxes and making sure Northcote gets its fair share of investment,” he said. He joins the National Party Caucus team of 56 MPs.
Agnew’s Angle
I
t was a shame two controversial decisons by English referee Luke Pearce clouded what was a magnificent second half recovery from the All Blacks in last Saturday night’s Eden Park rugby test. Sure, the sin-binning of French lock Paul Gabrillagues for a suspected a high tackle on Ryan Crotty was wrong, allowing the home team to capitalise with a couple of brilliant tries after trailing 8-11 at halftime. But I can sympathise with his decision not to red card anyone in the triple head clash which stunned Remy Grosso, Sam Cane and Ofa Tu’ungafasi and left the French wing with two fractures to his skull. Some accidents do happen in contact sports like rugby despite the best intentions of the players to avoid them. Up until Gabrillagues’ temporary dismissal, France showed why they had the best defensive record in the Six Nations championships. But once their machine showed cracks, the All Blacks capitalised with ruthless efficiency, especially when Damian McKenzie came on in the last quarter, scored a scorcher, set up juggernaut Ngani Laumaupe and just missed another in the corner. Interestingly, McKenzie’s brilliance shone brightest out wide after he received perfectly timed passes at pace to split asunder what had been a tight defence. That is the beauty of having two unselfish tradesmen like Crotty and Anton Lienert-Brown as your centre combination. They have gelled nicely in the past and should be allowed to cement their relationship although there is also a case for

giving the powerful Laumaupe more game time. Once again the Aaron Smith/ Beauden Barrett combination operated superbly with Barrett also twice featuring on cover defence when France looked dangerous. Brother Jordie made a good fist of fullback until replaced by McKenzie and Rieko Ioane (twice) and Ben Smith scored tries against two swift French wings. However the star of the show was livewire hooker Codie Taylor who set up several tries out wide while still doing the grind in the tight stuff. No 8 Luke Whitelock, so strong on defence and in the lineout, ran strongly and linked nicely while replacement loosehead prop Karl Tu’inukuafe destroyed the French in his first international scrum. With Australia beating Six Nations champion Ireland 18-9 and South Africa recovering from 24-3 down to beat England 42-39, both look have sent signals to the All Blacks they won’t by anyone’s bunnies in the
Rugby Championship. Meanwhile it was satisfying to see Shaun Johnson celebrate his 150th NRL game for the Warriors in style when they played one of their finest matches in beating Manly 34-14 before 17,000-plus enthralled Christchurch fans on Saturday. Especially pleasing was his willingness to hit the line at pace, being rewarded with one lovely try and setting up one of three scored by big Tongan wing David Fusitu’a in the second. The Fusitu’a’s hat-trick took his season tally to a remarkable 15, three clear of his nearest challenger. Not only is he an outstanding finisher but he’s a champion at rising high to claim any high balls booted in his direction. As one of several players who chose Tonga over New Zealand last year, he is a huge loss to the Kiwis. Another who sparks the Warriors this season is hooker Issac Luke, a gutsy player blessed with a smart brain. ■ Ivan Agnew is an award-winning sports writer and author

College duo good for a big laugh By Farida Master
C
omedy is hard work say Howick College students Josh Black and Catherine Thomas who recently performed at the NZ International Comedy Fest. Fourteen-year-old Josh along with 16-year-old Catherine Thomas auditioned for an impromptu stand-up hosted by Class Comedians 2018, a group of comedians who visited the college. The scholarship drama students didn’t realise there was an ongoing selection process and were pleasantly surprised when they were told that they had won themselves a place in a 50- hour free workshop with some of the best internationallyknown comedians. “Though both of us are drama students, doing stand-up is far more terrifying,” says Catherine. “In a play you are hiding behind a character but here you are on your own. Though once the audience starts laughing at your first joke then it gets easier. “The best thing in life is to make people laugh and though comedy was never on my radar, I’ve discovered that I love doing stand-up and I want to keep doing it,” she says. They also learnt that there are different genres of comedy that range from story- telling to

observation, one liners, comedic theatre, musical comedy and lots more. “We didn’t realise there is so much theory work involved,” they say. Josh says the trick is to write a joke and keep working on it until it sounds better. “The first time I auditioned, I spoke about the annoying habit my parents have of talking loudly on the phone,” he says. “You can tell a real story and add some drama to it. Or then look at things in your life that you’ve had a wee giggle at and then develop characters. “Like for instance I have a friend who is quite weird so I use him as a character and keep adding things that he may or may not have done,” says Josh,
who has always enjoyed theatre sports. “You have to keep going over and over your one-liners and use them on your friends and see which one works the best.” At the Comedy Fest, Josh spoke about the time he broke his leg on a playground while on a date with a girl. Catherine, who enjoys a political slant, told the story of her being a hockey umpire but has no control over the men who are much older and don’t respect her. Now that the duo have had a taste of stand up comedy they have been doing more Open Mic nights, and both agree that it been rewarding and has made them more positive as they look at the funnier side of life.

New housing ministry ‘robust and innovative approach to crisis’ T
he new Ministry of Housing and Urban Development is a sign the Government is taking a robust and innovative approach to the housing crisis, the Public Service Association (PSA) says. Housing Minister Phil Twyford has announced the new ministry will be established on August 1 and
will officially begin operating from October 1. “The new ministry will be able to take an over-arching view of the state of New Zealand’s housing – which the PSA thinks is desperately needed,” PSA national secretary Glenn Barclay says. “For some time now, PSA mem-
bers have identified housing among their biggest concerns. “This is particularly true in Auckland, where our research showed nearly two-thirds of PSA members had considered leaving the city because they could no longer afford to live there. It’s got so bad that just building houses isn’t enough – there
needs to be wide-ranging change, and this ministry is well-placed to deliver that.” However Mr Barclay says moving to the new ministry will be a demanding process for existing staff at MBIE, MSD and Treasury. “The PSA will advocate for a smooth transition process, particu-
larly around maintaining existing terms and conditions of employment. We welcome the Minister’s assurances that the front line will not be touched. It’s worth noting that when MBIE formed in 2012, many staff remained ‘siloed’ within their former ministries for years afterwards.”
Foreign buyer pressure highlights need for law change: Government New figures showing a high level of overseas house buying in New Zealand’s least affordable areas vindicates the Government’s move to ban foreign buyers of existing homes, Associate Finance Minister David Parker says. Stats NZ data for the March 2018 quarter show 3.3 per cent of homes transferred went to overseas people, but that rose to 18.7 per cent in central Auckland and almost 10 per cent in the QueenstownLakes area. “That shows the concentration of buying is in the areas of worst affordability and where price rises have
been the highest,” Parker said. “Kiwis were right to be concerned, and that is why we are passing the foreign buyers law.” He said the data measured the flow of properties into overseas hands, not the proportion of the stock that was held by overseas owners, and with more foreign buyers than sellers the number of foreignowned homes was increasing. “We want the prices of New Zealand homes, whether it be a lake-side station, the best houses in the Bay of Islands or the most modest homes in our towns and cities, to be set by local buyers not on the
international market.” Parker said it was not just about the raw numbers of houses being sold overseas. “It’s also a matter of values. We believe New Zealand homes should not be traded on an international market and New Zealanders should not be outbid by wealthier foreign buyers.” In the March quarter nearly 10 per cent of home transfers were to corporate entities, and information on the ownership of those is not currently available. The Overseas Investment Amendment Bill is on track to become law next month.

New coastal retirement village in Beachlands
The proportion of overseas home buyers varies across Auckland. For example, it was 1.7 per cent in Franklin and 19 per cent in the inner city (Waitemata) in the March quarter. Photo supplied
Metlifecare Limited has announced an investment of around $180 million for a new retirement village in Beachlands. They will be purchasing three adjoining properties for a retirement village development in the fastgrowing coastal community of Beachlands. Chief executive Glen Sowry says the new Karaka Road site would provide Metlifecare with an opportunity to meet the needs of an area that is not currently served with retirement living options. “This is one of Auckland’s growth hot-spots,” he says. “Significant residential
3% of home buyers from overseas I
n the March 2018 quarter, just over 3 per cent of home transfers were to people who didn’t hold New Zealand citizenship or resident visas, Stats NZ said last week. “The proportion of homes transferred to overseas people rose to 3.3 per cent in the March quarter, from 2.9 per cent in the December 2017 quarter,” property statistics manager Melissa McKenzie said. “This increase was driven by a fall in the total number of transfers, and a small rise in the number of transfers to overseas people. “The proportion of overseas sellers also increased in the March quarter, to reach 1.5 per cent, after staying steady at 1.3 per cent for a year.” Nearly 33,000 homes were transferred in the March 2018 quarter. Almost 4 in 5 of these were transferred to at least one New Zealand citizen. The other 1 in 5 were transferred to corporate entities, resident-visa holders, and overseas people. “Home transfers aren’t just the sale and purchase of houses, although for simplicity we refer to the people involved in transfers as buyers and sellers. They also include the transfer of a deceased family member’s home, a marriage settlement, and administrative changes,” Ms McKenzie said. In the March 2018 quarter, nearly 10 per cent of all home transfers were to corporate entities. Information on the ownership of these entities (by New Zealanders or overseas people) is not currently available. The corporate category excludes most trusts, because each trustee must provide information about their citizenship or visa status. There-
fore, most trusts are included in the statistics for individuals rather than corporates. In the March 2018 quarter, the territorial authority with the highest proportion of home transfers to people who weren’t New Zealand citizens or resident-visa holders was Queenstown-Lakes district (9.7 per cent of all home transfers), followed by Auckland (at 7.3 per cent). “The proportion of overseas home buyers varies across Auckland. For example, it was 1.7 per cent in Franklin and 19 per cent in the inner city (Waitemata) in the March quarter,” Ms McKenzie said. “Consultation about amendments to the Overseas Investment Act may have been a factor in recent increases in the proportion of transfers to non-New Zealand citizens and residents. The proposed changes could make it more challenging for overseas buyers to purchase residential land in New Zealand.”
Transfers to overseas tax residents pass 4 per cent Including homes, land, and commercial property, 4.3 per cent of all property transfers involved at least one buyer with overseas tax residency in the March 2018 quarter (compared with 3.0 percent in the March 2017 quarter). The tax residency status for a further 41 per cent of transfers was unknown. “Many buyers and sellers are exempt from providing tax details if they’re transferring their main home,” Ms McKenzie said. “However, citizenship and visa information is required for nearly all transfers, excluding a small number of transfers such as Maori land transfers and

intensification in the rural and coastal area from Cockle Bay through Whitford and Clevedon, and along the Pohutukawa Coast (Beachlands, Maraetai and Kawakawa Bay) has resulted in substantial and ongoing population growth.” The investment of $180m includes developing the site, which is a short walk from the Pine Harbour Marina and opposite the Formosa Golf Course. When completed, the village will offer more than 210 independent living units and care beds. “Our analysis indicates the list price for units in this village will range from $600,000 to more than $1m.” he says.

Treaty of Waitangi settlements.” Tax residency is not the same as nationality. An overseas tax resident may be a New Zealand citizen living overseas. Alternatively, a New Zealand tax resident could be an overseas citizen who lives in New Zealand, or a company with overseas owners. Meanwhile Real Estate Institute of NZ (REINZ) said the figures were very close to the numbers it released at the backend of 2017 which indicated that only 3.8 per cent of sales were to offshore buyers. “In our view, the figures from Statistics NZ confirm that it’s not worth going ahead with a blanket ban on foreign buyers across New Zealand,” REINZ CEO Bindi Norwell said. “The only areas in New Zealand where there is a significant proportion of sales to made to people who didn’t hold New Zealand citizenships or resident visas are Auckland and Queenstown Lakes with 7.3 per cent and 9.7 per cent of sales respectively. Looking more closely at the Auckland market, Stats NZ highlighted that 19 per cent of sales in the Waitemata Board in the March quarter were to offshore buyers. This is roughly 450 sales, and even if these 450 properties were sold to local buyers or investors it is still unlikely to significantly impact the overall market. “As we outlined in our submission to the Select Committee, if foreign buyers are banned from purchasing property in New Zealand, it could significantly impact development funding which would therefore impact supply and potentially see prices increasing – the exact opposite effect the ban is seeking to have,” said Norwell.

Belinda’s memorial day a hit A
memorial netball tournament at the weekend to mark the birthday on Tuesday of the late Belinda-Jane Burns attracted more than 800 people and raised thousands for her daughter. Belinda, whose family is well known in business and sporting circles in the area, died on March 22 this year. From just a small gesture and idea to honour her sister, Bo Burns arranged a fun family netballl tournament. Bo thought this was going to attract about 14 teams in total, it turned into a monsterous event, which attracted 60 teams from Waiuku through to the North Shore, and more than $10,000 worth of prizes kindly donated by many local businesses and NZ brands. The day was a huge success, raising $4000 for Belinda’s daughter Anika’s education trust. Even though it was a fun tournament, there was still a lot of competitiveness on the courts. The four main category winners on the day were - the men’s social grade,
Ahurei; the women’s social grade, We Got This; The Mixed Social grade, Ahurei; and the Champion Grade was won by The Good Call Team managed by Troy Witehira. Bo and her family were overwhelmed with the response and support. “We would like to make a very special thank you to the St John’s team who worked hard all day looking after all our players, and had to help two of our players who were seriously injured,” said Bo. Aside from the two injuries, the day was a huge success and Bo is already excited for the 2019 Netball tournament which she hopes to be even bigger. “It was worth every cent to put this tournament on for Bindy (Belinda) and Anika and it we have only had amazing feedback about the tournament.”
For more photos go to www.times.co.nz LTR: Bo Burns, Alistair Burns, Anika-Jane Aramanu Mitchell, Pip Burns and Matt Burns.

Big day at hockey club Howick Pakuranga Hockey Club is holding its annual Life Member’s Day at the hockey stadium at Lloyd Elsmore Park this Saturday. Formed in 1974, the club is now 44 years old and boasts being one of the largest hockey clubs in Auckland. The day begins with the juniors from 8 am until 12 am. Howick Pakuranga Hockey has 23 teams playing in the junior competition with players aged between 5 and 13. There will be a sausage sizzle, face painting and a bake sale to go along with matches being played. A raffle for a Black Sticks shirt belonging to one of the club’s international players is the star prize. At 1pm, the first of the feature matches is the Howick Pakuranga Premier women playing ABC from the North Shore in the intercity competition. Both teams are looking to secure a position in the top division in the second round and are on equal points with two matches left in the qualifying round. At 2.30 pm the Premier Men take on old rivals Somerville. Howick Pakuranga are leading the men’s intercity competition and will have three Internationals playing from the Commonwealth Silver medal winning team in the line-up as well as a couple of international development players. The majority of the team have come up through the junior club. A win will guarantee top spot! Accompanying these matches are the Division 1 and 3 men and women who will relish playing in front of home support. The club will welcome all comers to watch the games all through the day, especially if you have had connections with the club either as a parent or a player. A second generation of players is now coming through and several old timers from the 70s are still playing. Money raised goes to the Life Members’ fund that helps develop players through grants and training.
Howick and Pakuranga Times, Thursday, June 14, 2018 — 23
Pak XI going to champs T
he Pakuranga College 1st XI Boys Hockey team have qualified for the Supercity Premier Championship. This is the highest level of hockey at school level and they will be joining Auckland Grammar, Kings College and St Kentigern College as the top four Auckland schools competing against the top four schools from North Harbour. The team have out-performed Sacred Heart, Macleans College, St Peters College, to name just a few and risen to the top level of competition. Team captain Mortaza Sahar said: “The win reflects the hard work and effort the guys have put in. It’s taken three years to get to this level and has been a long time coming. “The championship will be a great opportunity, even if they don’t win, it will give the team the exposure to what it takes to compete at this level, and playing against some of the best teams in the country.” The team is coached by Pakuranga College director of sport Clive Daniels and Matthew Dowdle.
