Local stops ‘carjacker’ By THERESE HENKIN

P Hockey heroes P23

olice are praising the quick thinking of a man who intervened in what witnesses say was an attempted carjacking. On Wednesday June 13, a man approached a woman’s vehicle at the intersection of Gossamer Drive and Pakuranga Highway shortly after 2pm. He is said to have been carrying a prop that he was using as an

imitation firearm when he opened the driver’s car door and attempted to pull the woman out of the vehicle. Sergeant Erin Johnston, Counties Manukau East Police, said a member of the public witnessed the incident and knocked the offender with their vehicle. “The offender dropped his imitation weapon and ran from the scene where he was located a short time later at a Pakuranga address.” Police would like to praise the

actions of the witness who helped intervene. “The victim sustained a hand injury although the nature of the injury is still being assessed. She has been provided with victim support,” Sergeant Johnston says. A witness posted about the incident on a community Facebook page warning drivers to lock their doors and be vigilant while driving. “It’s a sad time when you have to warn people to lock their car doors while

driving,” she says. “To think this can happen in broad daylight on a busy road is scary. The woman was very grateful for the quick actions of the driver and said it was very lucky she didn’t have her young children in the car.” A 29-year-old male has been charged with aggravated robbery and was due to appear in the Manukau District Court last Thursday. Police have not released his name.

he created a lot of excitement with brown feathered wings that were four metres long as she recently visited Howick College. At the College on the invitation of the Creative Writing group, Jess Pawley signed her first publishing contract at the age of 22. She penned her first novel at age 11 and says writing has always been an addiction for her. Hard work and determination is a pay-off was the message the author passed on to the students. Pawley’s Young Adult series Generation Icarus has been flying high since being picked up by Auckland publishers Steam Press in 2016. Her book Air Born is the first in the series of stories about teens who have wings. After gaining a huge following on Wattpad (a community of readers and

Chinese editions and a TV series under discussion. The second book in the series Take Flight is due out in August this year. Gaining a Diploma in Writing while also completing NCEA Level 3, she says that

were created by a US company and feature in Pawley’s author events, wowing the audiences. Geraldine Jamieson, English teacher and supporter of the school’s creative writing group, said it was a school trip to the recent Auckland Writers Festival that spurred her to set up the visit. “The students were so intrigued by Pawley’s presentation (and her wings of course) that we thought it was a great opportunity to invite her to school to inspire more students to continue to write and perhaps publish their work,” she says. Jess shared tips with the aspiring writers on characterisation, plot and editing. She reminding them that the first draft is only the starting point, “The draft is the clay – get that muck on the wheel and start sculpting,” she said.

A local group of ladies, The Friday Quilting Friends, have gifted Anglican Trust for Women and Children (ATWC) three hand-quilted blankets. These blankets are a small project they started during their monthly quilting day at the Nixon Park Community Hall. Raewyn Skipper from The Mother’s Union was there to accept the blankets on behalf of the ATWC. The ATWC offers family, early education and social work services and programmes to help protect and provide opportunities for up to 3000 children, young people and their families across Auckland.

Part of the ATWC services is Granger Grove, a threestage residential, family care programme which enables mothers to make a fresh start in a secure, supportive environment. Skipper says the quilts are given to mothers who have successfully graduated the Granger Grove programme and are leaving the residences to make a fresh start with their children. “The [mothers] treasure these quilts because they are a reminder of where they started and where they are now...a reminder of what they have achieved going through this programme,” she says.

Howick and Pakuranga Times, Thursday, June 21, 2018 — 3

Times picks up awards T

imes Media has been rewarded with a number of accolades at the New Zealand Community Newspapers awards. Its flagship newspaper Howick and Pakuranga Times won the prestigious Community Involvement award for its long-running campaign with Howick Ratepayers and Residents Association and readers to help save the views from Stockade Hill. “The Times’ coverage is characteristically extensive, well-written and persuasive. It’s a big chunk of money ($31,000) to raise and, as the Times quite rightly points out, not a Givealittle page in sight,” says judge Greg Treadwell. Long-time Times photographer Wayne Martin dominated with wins in several classes, something he has done for many years in these competitions. John Rawlinson was voted best senior sports journalist, a category he was featured in previously. Magazine Rural Living won best front page (for an associate member) whilst the best all-round lifestyle magazine category saw Times Media magazine’s Eastlife and Rural Living finish as runners-up. Times managing director and co-founder Reay Neben said she is really proud of the Times team with the “unbelievable results they achieved at last weekend’s Community Newspapers conference”. “We won categories across the board with our photographer in one class being runner up and winner. The sales and production teams won in the classes that our advertisers participated with their advertising and the win for the community involvement was really special for our editorial team. The magazines we published did so well in all categories. “The one thing I came away from the conference with is the growth in independently owned newspapers across the country. These papers are doing a great job and beating their opposition who now believe in digital over print. The voice of the community is strong when there is a local paper locally owned. That’s the winning formula.”

Beachlands’ pro golfer Ryan Fox finished the US Open tied for 41st at the weekend. He delivered a final round five-over (total 14 over), 13 shots behind winner Brooks Koepka. Fox led the field in driving distance over the four rounds, edging out Koepka with an average distance of 3.18.80, media reported. The 31-yearold earned US$43,028 (NZ$62,119). “It was a tough but enjoyable experience at my first US Open,” Fox said. “Shinnecock was a brutal test of every part of your game, but certainly one of the best courses I’ve played. A bit of a frustrating Sunday, but happy with the way I hung in there over the four days.” He is heading back to the UK for a couple of days’ rest before heading to Paris for the HNA Open de France which tees off on June 28.

Veterans deserve recognition By FARIDA MASTER

here’s no rest for members of the Opposition. Maggie Barry, National spokesperson for Veteran Affairs, was recently in the Howick at the invitation of Pakuranga MP Simeon Brown. She started the day addressing the SuperBlues, (National Party’s advisory group for senior citizens) about her role as National’s Seniors Spokesperson and the issues facing seniors. The former television host dropped in at Gulf Views Rest Home to talk to residents and even answered questions on how to best preserve peas! From knowing how to preserve peas to questions on conservation and heritage, elder abuse, and complexities of veteran affairs, Ms Barry soon discovered that when a former television presenter of a garden show turns politician, you can be questioned about anything under the sun. Dropping in at the Howick RSA at noon, she also had a quick catch up with senior veterans and Councillor Sharon Stewart. Talking to Army and Navy veterans on the recently released ‘Veterans Support Act Review’, she made notes on issues that veterans are concerned about and their expectation that this “cross party” supported Review will fix.

Howick and Pakuranga Times, Thursday, June 21, 2018 — 5

News bites Flood call-outs The Fire Service has confirmed it attended 32 flood-related incidents in the area when the weather bomb hit the area on June 3. Earlier media reports suggested there were around 50 call-outs. Bucklands Beach and Pakuranga Heights were responsible for 12 of the incidents.

Long service awards Three Freemasons have been recognised for their long service. The Pakuranga Lodge No 416 celebrated the occasion recently with Grand Master Mark Winger presenting Jim Laurenson and former Howick mayor Morrin Cooper each with a 60 year badge and Alan Bevins with a 50 year badge. Left to right ex Army veteran Alan Martin, Pakuranga MP Simeon Brown, ex Navy veterans John Titmus, Terry Patterson and RSA manager Scott Adams with Councillor Sharon Stewart and senior politician Magiie Barry.

Veterans who served in the Commonwealth Far East Strategic Reserve in 1960s and 1970s are frustrated despite best efforts to get ‘Operational Service’ under the Veterans Support Act and the appropriate Medallic Recognition. The veterans stressed that it is time for all service on the Far East Service which includes the South China Sea to be fully recognised They said this service was nearly half a century ago and they have waited too long and consider it is not fair that they cannot access fully the services the Veterans Support Act Provides “NZ First has a lot of respect for

senior veterans but none of them are doing anything that they promised,” said Ms Barry. Talking to Scott Adams/manager, secretary Howick RSA, she also wanted to know how the oldest ex-service organisations formed in 1916 to care for the needs of the soldiers returning from WW1 can be better sustained. “Howick RSA is one of the two or three RSAs in Auckland that have an employed Welfare Officer and is doing well,” she said. The challenge now is for all RSAs to get contemporary veterans (younger generation) to realise the benefits of joining the RSA.

Westpac economist Dominick Stephens says that property is more lightly taxed in NZ compared to other assets. He quotes a Tax Working Group study to make this claim. However financial consultants Morgan Wallace found large errors in the group’s study and concluded that rental property is actually taxed more than other assets. Officials agreed with the Wallace Morgan report. They said that if the study had treated other assets with a capital growth component the same way they treated rental property, then rental property would actually have a higher marginal effective tax rate because of local government rates. They told the NZ Property Investors’ Federation (NZPIF) that their study “is probably less well-suited to comparing taxes across different real investments”. At a recent meeting with the NZPIF, the Tax Working Group agreed that rental

Rental property pays tax on gross income less expenses just like Times photo Nick Krause every other business or investment.

property is not under-taxed as their background report had claimed. Stephens has also said that rental property has tax advantages over home buyers and that this has led to a reduction in the rate of home ownership since the early 1990’s. Claiming expenses against taxable income is a tax law that exists for all. Rental property pays tax on gross income less expenses just like every other business or investment. Home buyers do not have an income stream from which to deduct their

expenses. When buying a home, they receive the benefit of accommodation. The two situations are completely different. Just because a rental provider can claim expenses from their rental income, this does not make buying a property easier for them compared to a home buyer. Stephens says that tax advantages for rental property caused home ownership levels to fall from the early 1990s. However the tax laws have always been like this. What did change in the early

1990s is that Government assistance for first home buyers was removed. This is the likely reason for home ownership rates falling since the 1990s. With Government subsidies returning, it is likely that home ownership rates will stabilise and increase as a result. Stephens says that if the tax system caused prices to increase then the tax system will reduce prices as well. Yet other countries with a capital gains tax have also had high levels of house price growth. Why would New Zealand be different, especially when owner occupied housing is exempt? Regarding tax paid, IRD data shows that the rental property industry pays tax on approximately $1.5 billion of net rental income each year. Stephens is right that a capital gains tax will increase rental prices, but it will not lower house prices, the NZPIF says.

All together on climate change A

lmost all of us in New Zealand want to see a country and a planet that we can pass on to our children and grand-children. That is why one of the big questions our Parliament faces is how we respond to the issue of climate change and our environment. In Government, we worked hard to show that environmental protection and the task of lowering our carbon emissions need not come at the expense of the economy or at the cost of new taxes. We implemented the world-leading Emissions Trading Scheme. This

ami-Lee Ross MP for Botany reduced greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining economic productivity, maintained our electricity generation to be about 90 per cent from renewable sources, and implemented new incentives for electric vehicles. Moreover, we committed to further reductions in our global emis-

sions by signing up to the Paris Agreement, meaning we set an ambitious target of reducing our emissions to 30 per cent less than 2005 levels by the year 2030. This has seen our greenhouse gas emissions drop since 2008, despite a growing economy and growing population. This shows that sound environmental policy does not need to come at the expense of the economy. In opposition, we are continuing to work responsibly on climate change. Recently, Simon Bridges announced that National would

be building new policies to help us meet our ambitious emission reduction targets. These policies will be based on the principles of creating sustainable long term change, working with all of our economic sectors, and ensuring that we don’t sabotage our economy. The first step we are taking is announcing that we will work with the current Government in establishing a new Climate Change Commission. This Commission would support New Zealand’s emission reductions by both advising the Government on carbon budg-

ets, and holding the Government to account by publishing progress reports on emissions. National want practical, sensible solutions, not extreme policies that could damage the economy and unnecessarily drive up costs for Kiwi households. Policies like establishing an independent Climate Change Commission to help guide our strategy is a good first step in ensuring that New Zealand continues the work we have been doing on securing our environment for future generations. ■ Jami-Lee Ross, MP for Botany

Botany Crime Watch celebrates its brand new Kia Sportage “We’ve had those vehicles for a long time and now this will be worry-free motoring for many years,” she said. Councillor Sharon Stewart paid tribute to the late Councillor Dick Quax saying, “Dick has been a great supporter of Botany Crime Watch Patrol since its inception in the Manukau City Council days and was very passionate about it. He would be very happy today,” she said of her friend with whom she worked closely. ■ Botany Crime Watch is looking for new volunteers to service the fast expanding Ormiston and Flat Bush area.

She’s the first point of contact for enquiries about aged residential care and helps older people and their families access the care they need. Jenny tells us it’s usually a family member of the person needing care who first gets in touch. “Many people have no idea where to start. So I help them by listening, supporting, providing information and advising them about the steps they need to take.” Jenny points out that before entering long-term residential care, potential residents must be

assessed by the local DHB, so the first step is to ask your GP for a referral. They’ll provide a recommendation for a level of care, which at HBH will be either the rest home or hospital. Once that’s established, Jenny provides a tour of the home or hospital and answers any questions the family may have about life at HBH and what a typical day looks like. She’ll also let them know about the costs involved and any subsidies that may be available, and tell them about some of HBH Senior Living’s other services such as the Day Programme and respite care. Jenny loves her role because she provides continuity for people from point of contact right through to

Sharon Stewart and Ormiston/ Flat Bush Community Constable Nicholas Cockerell “We can’t believe this has actually happened,” said Dick Marshall, who was chair of Botany Crime Watch Patrol for 13 years. “This is big step change in vehicles as we have moved from second hand cars to a strong and highly visible patrol car. “We are thrilled that Andrew Simms bought into this fantastic partnership. It wouldn’t have happened without Margaret’s hard work.” Operations manager Margaret Westwood says that the two aging vehicles were expensive to run.

Making children culturally aware A

sk the students of Cockle Bay School what they liked most about the Celebration of Cultures Day that they celebrated and the answer is food. They unanimously agreed that they loved the shared meals. Social studies teacher Ivy Narot who organised the Cultures Day on Friday – where children were encouraged to dress in their national dress or anything representing their culture or country of birth – says that it was about inclusion and delving deeper to learn about cultural diversity.

Cockle Bay School recently hosted a Celebration of Cultures Day. Times photos Wayne Martin / Farida Master

“We are all different but all equal. We spoke about stereotyping cultures and how important it is not to judge a person by their physical looks,” she said. The primary school also used their resources and partnership from across the road at Howick College and had a cultural dance group from the college perform for them. After the various performances, the students paraded in the traditional costumes representing their country of origin. Some of the parents joined the students for a shared lunch.

You get to ask the questions So many people are unclear about the the Howick Local Board does, who does it represent? How are the Howick Local Board members elected? Who votes for them? How does the work that the board members do affect the local community? Is the Howick Local Board part of the Auckland Council or the Parliament? There are so many questions that most residents don’t have an answer to. Rosa Chow, who is passionate about keeping locals well-informed, says: “It’s a great opportunity to

ask questions, share your concerns and get a better idea of the matters around Howick in the near future. More importantly, we can find out how we can make a difference together,” she says.

I knew it was coming!

I’d known it since the supermarkets had given us free carry bags made of raffia. Then they discontinued issuing the dreaded plastic bags altogether! Yes, I’d seen the news items of big sea fish ingesting plastic bags and being discovered with many tens of them in their stomachs. I was all in favour and supported the idea, taking my very own carry-away bags to the supermarket. Then the day arrived. I had no plastic bags left for my landfill rubbish! I scrounged around and found a paper bag! Ah hah – that’s OK isn’t it – decomposable? I filled the bag and smiled. How good was I? On moving it from the kitchen to the bin, the bottom fell out and all the wet kitchen scraps spilled all over the floor. My goodness – had we really eaten that? Look at all that putrid rubbish. Frustrated, I swept it to the centre of the kitchen floor and wondered what now? I know – my husband had thrown out an old raincoat that I was to take somewhere. I retrieved this and carefully wrapped all the rubbish scraps inside it! I carried it carefully to the bin – oops that had now been put out on the roadside by my husband. I carried my “Mr Guy” to the roadside and put him beside the bin! I got back to the house and wondered if I should have left the rubbish beside the bin. Would it get collected or the refuse refused? Then I saw the tramp! He had taken a shine to the jacket and was picking it up. By the time I raced to the road

shouting “No, No” he had developed a surprisingly swift gait and was soon at the corner of the street, clutching his new-found treasure. And what about future rubbish jettisons? Briscoes still give out plastic bags – maybe a weekly trip there is the answer. The French are reported to be making carry bags of onion skins that, just like Mozart, will decompose. Come on world – give us a solution.

Celia Martin, Howick

Love those plastic bags

Am I the only one to be mourning the upcoming demise of the supermarket, so called, single use plastic bag? Mine are far from single use. Like many others of my acquaintance, none leave my property without being full of household waste, and having served to keep my under bench and council bins clean and hygienic. Someone more cynical than myself might care to remember that it was, in fact, our supermarkets themselves which introduced them as a cheaper alternative to the biodegradable brown paper ones. Before I am dismissed as an

eco-terrorist and climate change denier, I believe conversely that I am doing more than my fair share for the environment in other areas. Why? because I can proudly say that I have never purchased a cup of takeaway coffee served in what, to all intents and purposes, is a non-recyclable cup, and the water bottle I use was purchased some time last year, and is refilled as required with Auckland’s excellent tap water. How many of the plastic bag haters out there can say that I wonder?

David Mitchell, Howick

Hold your tongue

To those sports critics who sit on the side-line and talk about their glory days and how well they played the game, I would like you to think wisely before voicing your opinions of current players, some of whom you know nothing about. No player purposely goes out onto the pitch to play badly. Yes, people, we are all human and do have bad days. What makes a great player is one who attends every training, puts in the hard yards, plays for their team mates and supports their club. These players also learn from mistakes and sollder on to become better players. Supporting them goes a long way. Please do not sit on your high chair and criticise and belittle those on the field. They have been chosen by their coaches to be out their representing their team and their club.

Stay safe on the roads this winter W inter has arrived in earnest, and it brings many challenges, especially on the roads. Increased hours of darkness, driving rain and reduced visibility may well be a daily occurrence over the next few months, so we need to be prepared. Here are our tips for staying safe on the roads this winter:

1. Reduce your speed. In wet conditions driving at the speed limit may be too fast, so slow down. 2. Increase your following distance. It takes longer to stop on a wet road. 3. Allow more time to get to your appointments. Wet weather causes congestion, and the stress of being late can result in making dangerous choices. 4. Be extra vigilant around schools at pick up and drop off times. These can be difficult in the best conditions, but are much worse when visibility is low and people are rushing. 5. Make sure you always have plenty of water in your windscreen spray to keep your windows clean. 6. Don’t allow windows to fog up – use the demister or open a window slightly. 7. Check break lights and headlights regularly. 8. Keep an umbrella and raincoat in the car. If you are properly equipped you will be less likely to risk parking dangerously in order to

get close to where you need to be. 9. Consider keeping some other useful items in the car with you in case something happens – a working torch, a blanket for small children and maybe a snack or two. 10. Get your tyres checked, specifically pressure and tread. Tyres play a vital role in keeping you, your family and others safe on the road. Free visual once-over and pressure check

Come and see us today for a FREE visual and pressure check to make sure your tyres are in peak condition for the winter weather. We have a clean, warm waiting room with free WIFI. No appointments necessary.

Feedback Aircraft wasn’t there

Letter from Auckland Airport to resident: We understand that your enquiry relates to an overflight at 21:05 on 1 June 2018. We have reviewed our records for the event you identified and correlated the time and details that you noted with Airways radar data to determine the aircraft that disturbed you. Unfortunately, there is no record in our system for aircraft overflying your property at that time/date. It is likely that the flight that disturbed you did not operate out of or into Auckland Airport. Unfortunately, Auckland Airport has no jurisdiction over flights that don’t operate from Auckland Airport. If you wish to take this matter further you will need to contact the Civil Aviation Authority.

Are they suggesting that the flight in question was lost and was looking for Christchurch or Wellington? If the plane was, as suggested, flying to or from another airport, how come we did not see or read about the lost plane in the news? A plane flying around looking for an airport should be a big news item, maybe Auckland Airport is covering up the news about the wayward plane. I don’t know about you, but I believe we may have something to worry about. Maybe a lost interplanetary space craft. The mind boggles.

For the generations of wives who lived through the world wars, the Women’s Section of the Returned section of the Returned Services Association has provided common ground to support the men of the RSA, The Diggers as they were commonly referred to. Originally open to wives and widowers of returned servicemen, the section is now open to all women. Their monthly meeting is held at the club on the last Friday of the month at 10am where you can enjoy a cuppa and entertainment. A trading table is available with fresh veges and food. For more information you can contact B ev on 534-9285.

The Howick branch was formed in 1967 and remains active in raising funds to support not just the RSA but also charitable causes in the community. The Women’s Section is a valuable asset to the’ Poppy Day’ fundraising RSA team. This year Howick RSA exceeded the 2017 funds raised and would like to thanks the community for their fantastic contributions, as well as the many volunteers and sponsors who made this all possible.

New record median price in May A

year-on-year price increase of $27,000 has seen New Zealand achieve a new record median house price of $562,000 – a 5 per cent increase – according to the latest data from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ), source of the most complete and accurate real estate data in New Zealand. Median prices for New Zealand excluding Auckland increased by 5.8 per cent annually to $455,000, up from $430,000. However, Auckland’s median price decreased 1.3 per cent from the same time last year, with May 2018 seeing a price of $852,000 (down from $862,800 in May 2017).

Three regions achieved record prices in May: ■■ Northland – up 6.7 per cent year-on-year resulting in a median of $475,000 (up from $445,000) ■■ Tasman – up 16.2 per cent yearon-year resulting in a median of $612,000. This is the first time the median price for Tasman has gone over $600,000 ■■ Manawatu/Wanganui had a record equal median price of $305,500 - the same as the median price in April 2018. ■■ Other regions that saw a strong increase in price from May 2017 to May 2018 were the West Coast (+25.7 per cent to $220,000 – the highest price in 7 months), Otago (+14.6 per cent to $440,000) and

Hawke’s Bay (+13.2 per cent to $430,000). Bindi Norwell, chief executive at REINZ says: “The record price for New Zealand of $562,000 continues to highlight the buoyancy of the housing market across the country. Of the 16 regions in New Zealand 13 saw an annual price increase – 5 of which were double digit increases showing that the demand for good property continues unabated. Only three regions saw a year-on-year price decrease – Auckland, Gisborne and Southland. “The record median price achieved in Tasman has seen the region skip both Wellington and the Bay of Plenty to become the second most expensive region in New Zealand in just a single month highlighting just how popular the region continues to be – even as we head into winter. It’s staggering to think that a region of 51,000 people has more expensive property than a region of nearly 514,000 people,” continues Norwell. “Looking at Auckland, it seems like the market has found a middle ground around the $850,000 mark, as three out of the past five months have seen a median price in this range. This suggests that the standoff between buyers wanting a bargain and sellers wanting an unrealistic price is coming to an end,” she continues. “Despite the year-on-year

decrease, Auckland’s median price of $852,000 is actually up $2000 on April 2018. Putting the year-onyear figure into perspective, the REINZ HPI for Auckland increased 0.6 per cent year-on-year, highlighting that despite a decrease in median price that the market is actually not in decline – it’s just a result of a decrease in $1 million plus properties year-on-year,” points out Norwell.

Volumes up

The number of houses sold in May 2018 across New Zealand increased by 1.3 per cent (to 7578 up from 7482) when compared to the same time last year. However, the number of properties sold in New Zealand excluding Auckland decreased 0.5 per cent year-onyear to 5247 down from 5271 in May 2017. The number of houses sold in Auckland increased 5.4 per cent year-on-year, from 2211 in May 2017 to 2331 in May 2018.

Regions with the largest increases in sales yearon-year were: ■■ Nelson – up 25.3 per cent from 83 sales to 104 ■■ West Coast – up 20.9 per cent from 43 to 52 – the highest sales count in 6 years ■■ Gisborne – up 15.8 per cent from 57 to 66 ■■ Hawke’s Bay – up 12.5 per cent

www.times.co.nz from 248 to 279 - the highest sales count in 14 months. ■■ Regions with the biggest decreases year-onyear were Tasman (-16.9 per cent - the lowest number of properties sold for the month of May for 9 years), Marlborough (-10.4 per cent), Otago (-7.4 per cent) and Northland (-6.6 per cent). “With 2017 seeing only year-on-year volume decreases for New Zealand, it’s positive to see the number of properties sold having increased yearon-year for 4 out of the first 5 months of 2018. Further supporting this positive outlook is that across the country is that 9 out of 16 regions saw a year-on-year increase in the number of properties sold, with 4 of those regions experiencing double-digit growth,” says Norwell. “There have been some stand out results for some of the regions too, with the West Coast having seen the highest number of properties sold in 6 years – since May 2012. The Bay of Plenty, Hawke’s Bay and Manawatu/Wanganui all had the highest sales count since March 2017 and Canterbury and Otago had the highest sales count in 6 months,” says Norwell.

2017 (539 properties) and the Bay of Plenty on 16.8 per cent (91 properties) down from 19.4 per cent (98 properties) in May 2017.

Inventory

The number of properties available for sale nationally increased by 1.0 per cent from 24,229 to 24,477 – an increase of just 248 properties compared to 12 months ago. For the third month in a row the New Zealand figure has been buoyed by inventory increases in Nelson (+29.3 per cent - an additional 96 properties – the largest annual inventory growth on record), Hawke’s Bay (+8.9 per cent - an additional 41 properties) and Waikato (+8.8 per cent - an additional 140 properties). The New Zealand excluding Auckland inventory level fell by 1 per cent from 15,607 in May 2017 to 15,455 in May 2018. Auckland’s annual inventory increased by 4.6 per cent (from 8622 to 9022 - an additional 400 properties).

Regions with the biggest falls in inventory were: ■■ Southland – down 20.1 per cent ■■ Gisborne – down 19.2 per cent ■■ West Coast – down 16.8 per cent ■■ Manawatu/Wanganui – down 13.7 per cent. ■■ Again, the Wellington region has had the lowest number of weeks’ inventory across the whole country with only 8 weeks’ inventory available to those looking to purchase in the area. The Hawke’s Bay has seen a slight increase from 8 to 10 weeks’ inventory year-on-year. Similarly, Otago is also sitting on 10 weeks’ inventory, but this is down from 11.3 weeks’ inventory when compared to May 2017.

REINZ House Price Index (HPI) The REINZ House Price Index for New Zealand, which measures the changing value of property in the market, increased 3.7 per cent year-onyear to 2,702. The HPI for New Zealand excluding Auckland increased 6.8 per cent from May 2017 to a new record high of 2,554. The REINZ HPI showed that 11 out of 12 regions experienced an increase in their HPI over the past 12 months, highlighting the continued strength of the property market. Again, the only region not to experience an increase was Canterbury, which experienced a decrease of 0.9 per cent year-on-year – nothing for the region to be concerned about. The Manawatu/Wanganui region had the highest annual growth rate at +14.3 per cent, followed by Gisborne/Hawke’s Bay in second place (+14.0 per cent) and Southland in third place (+12.2 per cent) highlighting the strength of these regions.

Price Bands

The number of homes sold for less than $500,000 across New Zealand fell from 45.6 per cent of the market (3,409 properties) in May 2017 to 42.4 per cent of the market (3,210 properties) in May 2018 which is reflected by the overall increasing median price. The number of properties sold in the $500,000 to $750,000 bracket increased from 26.8 per cent in May 2017 (2003 properties) to 28.4 per cent in May 2018 (2155 properties). At the top end of the market, properties sold for more than $1 million increased marginally from 14.1 per cent of the market in May 2017 (1053 houses) to 14.2 per cent of the market this year (1079 houses).

Days to sell

Auctions

Auctions were used in 12.7 per cent of all sales across the country in May, with 961 properties selling under the hammer – this is down slightly from May 2017, when 13.3 per cent of properties (996) were sold via auction. For the fourth month in a row, Gisborne had the highest percentage of auctions across the country with just shy of a third of properties (30.3 per cent or 20 properties) in the region sold under the hammer – down from 40.4 per cent (23 properties) in May 2017. Auckland saw the second largest percentage of auctions on 21.1 per cent (492 properties) down from 24.3 per cent in May

The median number of days to sell a property nationally increased by 1 day from 37 days in May 2017 to 38 days in May 2018. This is 2 days more to sell a property than it took in April this year. Auckland saw the median number of days to sell a property remain flat at 40 days, but it increased by 3 days on April 2018. Regions with the biggest decrease in the median number of days to sell were West Coast (-50 from 148 to 98), Taranaki (-5 days from 42 to 37) and Nelson (-3 from 35 to 32). Regions with the biggest increase in the median number of days to sell were Gisborne (+12 from 32 to 44), Tasman (+8 from 29 to 37), Bay of Plenty (+7 from 38 to 45) and Northland (+6 from 41 to 47).

Laumape before Sonny Bill I

find it incredulous that some rugby scribes believed Sonny Bill Williams would be the answer to the All Blacks backline woes for Saturday’s third test in Dunedin after last weekend’s shambolic 26-13 win against brave France’s 14. That French fullback Benjamin Fall was red-carded early for his accidental collision with a concussed Beauden Barrett while leaping for a towering punt was a shame that left the tourists facing a huge unwarranted handicap. That France dominated the breakdown and pressured the All Blacks into so many handling errors spoke volumes for their attitude and exposed the lack of match fitness of so many All Blacks because of injuries and suspensions.

answer after such a long injury layoff was ridiculous. Certainly at Super Rugby level champion try scorer Ngani Laumape has more impressive overall credentials than the veteran Williams who is renowned mainly for his exquisite offloads. However it would also be interesting to see how the powerful running Laumape would fare at centre outside the likes of Richie Mo’unga and Crotty. Another option could be to try Jordie Barrett at second-five if Ben Smith was to be returned to his best spot at fullback although Barrett was one of the All Blacks’ best in Wellington where he scored two tries. Smith also picked up a nice one on the right wing where Waisake

Agnew’s Angle That, however, didn’t excuse errors of judgment from such talented players as Aaron Smith, Damian McKenzie and TJ Perenara in what was an unusual bumbling performance from the home team against a courageous French challenge. True, it wasn’t the best midfield performance by Ryan Crotty and Anton Lienert-Brown, who have combined so well in the past. But to suggest SBW was the

Naholo also remains an exciting option. With France’s forwards exposing so many weaknesses in the All Blacks pack, coach Steve Hansen will be demanding a much-improved performance this Saturday night under the roof in Dunedin. Interestingly, McKenzie was at his dazzling best in the first Eden Park test when he came off the bench as a substitute fullback and made three glorious breaks, two of which reaped tries, by accelerating through gaps out wide. But when it comes to tactical nous as a first-five, the cool-headed Mo’unga has more to offer. With Ireland bouncing back 26-21 in Melbourne to tame champion first test loosies David Pocock and

Michael Hooper to square their series against Australia, Saturday’s decider should make compelling viewing. Kurtley Beale scored a wonderful try to set the Wallabies rolling but Johnny Sexton’s boot ruled the game for the Irish and limited attacking opportunities for star Aussie fullback Israel Folau. Having already lost the series to South Africa, Eddie Jones’ England have only pride to play for against South Africa, as do Argentina against Wales. At this point, the Springboks and Wallabies are shaping up as much tougher opponents for the All Blacks than they were last year. Ivan Agnew is an awardwinning sports writer and author

Nick makes national U19 ﬂoorball squad Dannemora teen, Nick Sokin (14) had something to celebrate when he received communication from Wellington saying that he’d been selected for the New Zealand U19 National Floorball team. “We were in the car when he opened the email,” his Mum, Petra said. “He was so excited, he just yelled out ‘Mum…. I got in!!!’” Floorball is still a relatively new sport to NZ. It is described as a fast type of hockey played indoors with lightweight sticks and a plastic ball with holes. Five field players and a goalkeeper play on a fullyenclosed rink. The goals are set in so play continues behind the goalline, similar to ice hockey. Nick started playing floorball at the age of six when his family were living in Slovakia. “It’s a huge sport in the whole of Europe and it’s getting bigger and bigger,” says Petra. “(They) have professional teams and they play overseas”. Nick came from a big team, ‘Atu’, from Kosice. During the time he

2015, Nick was disappointed that there were no youth teams. He trained with a group of adults but he soon stopped playing as he was

looking for something more than just playing ‘for fun’. Nick’s present coach, Oldrich Duchan (former silver medallist for Germany) arrived in New Zealand around the same time and saw him play at his first training. He noticed Nick’s talent and decided that something needed be done to develop floorball for the youth of Auckland. He talked with Nick and was inspired to start up a youth squad within the Auckland Floorball Academy. Under Oldrich’s coaching, Nick’s skills improved further and with the development of a local youth squad early in 2016, the team was able to participate in youth tournaments held annually in Wellington. Late last month, Auckland Floorball Academy hosted its own tournament, with Nicholas’ team, the ‘Scorpions’ taking out the Under 15s title. The very next weekend, Nick travelled to Wellington where he was invited to try out for the Under 19 National floorball team. His success on getting a placement means that Nick will

The NZ U19 team will need to win at least one game against either Australia or Japan. If they qualify, they will then go through to the World Championships held in Canada next May. Nick is very grateful for the opportunity that he has been given. “It would be such a great experience going to Canada to represent New Zealand. I’m thankful that I have been chosen to play for the U19 NZ team at such a young age.” Floorball sessions are currently held each Monday and Friday in the Somerville Intermediate gym.

TIMES |

In an exciting final of the Auckland Boys’ Hockey Championships, Saint Kentigern College’s Premier Boys’ 1st XI Hockey team kept tough opposition from Auckland Grammar at bay, to win 3-2 at the close of play - and secure the Auckland title. It has been more than five years since the team last won this championship, so the boys were deservedly proud, the school said. In the build up to the final, the team had played well to remain unbeaten in pool play. They went on to beat St Peter’s in the quarterfinal, followed by King’s in the semifinal, before taking on Auckland Grammar on their home turf. Captained by Malcolm Curley and Adam Alovili, the game (played

earlier this month) was fast and tense with St Kents taking the lead 1-0 at half time. With only 10 minutes to go in the second half, another St Kents goal took the score to 2-0, bringing a win within their grasp. However, in a turnaround, Grammar came back with two quick goals in succession to even the score. With tension mounting and with only a few minutes left on the clock, Jayden Lal broke through to score the winning goal, securing a 3-2 win for St Kents and well-deserved Auckland title for the boys. This win has set them up well for the next round of competition as they head into the Supercity Championship.
