Is this man the city’s 

most powerful figure? 

Don’t be fooled by this 

mild-mannered looking 

67-year-old. 

Albert Brantley (right) is a 

man of action; a roll up one’s 

sleeves Canadian, tasked 

with getting the central city 

rebuild moving as chief 

executive of Otakaro Ltd, 

the Government company 

set up to carry on tasks from 

the now defunct Canterbury 

Earthquake Recovery 

Authority. 

Once described as an iron 

fist in a velvet glove, Mr 

Brantley has worked all over 

the world on major projects, 

many of them in trouble 

spots. 

He was close to the Taliban 

front line in Pakistan, and 

was involved in evacuating 

ex-pat Americans from 

Saudi Arabia after the 

September 11 terror attacks. 

Usually media-shy, Mr 

Brantley talks to reporter 

Emma-Jane McLennan in 

his first full interview since 

taking the Otakaro job.

decision 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

FAMILIES OF people killed in 

four buildings in the February 

22, 2011, earthquake have been 

told they will learn soon whether 

criminal charges will be laid. 

The police have just finished 

an investigation into the collapse 

of four buildings – the CTV 

building on Madras St, the 

Ballantynes car park buildings 

on Lichfield St, the Southern Ink 

Tattoo building on Colombo St 

and the St Christopher’s Book 

Market on Riccarton Rd. 

Detective Senior Sergeant 

Darryl Sweeney told The Star 

yesterday the investigation was 

now being reviewed and would be 

sent to the Crown Solicitor in the 

next month. 

The Crown Solicitor will determine 

what, if any, charges will be 

laid.

WE HAVE a big profile this 

week on Albert Brantley, the 

head of the Crown company 

tasked with getting the big 

central city projects moving. 

Brantley comes from fairly 

humble beginnings in Canada, 

where working hard and playing 

fair was the mantra. 

It has served him well on 

major projects around the world, 

many of them in trying conditions 

to say the least. He talks to 

reporter Emma-Jane McLennan 

on pages 11, 12, 13, 14. 

Speaking of EJ – tomorrow is 

her last day at The Star. 

She’s off to work in public relations

SIDE-SPLITTING SHOW BY COUNCILLOR 

THe mood quickly lightened for contestants during a 

dance rehearsal, after a city councillor split his pants 

while performing the final move. 

Contestants were struck with side-splitting laughter 

after city councillor Glenn Livingstone split his dress 

pants during rehearsals for the Home & Family 

Dancing with the Stars fundraising challenge. 

“I was ending the dance with the signature (John) 

Travolta move, which was out of time and just looked 

like a deep lunge, and I just split my pants,” Cr 

Livingstone said.

Hairspray reviewer abused 

But writer 

says criticism 

sparked 

discussion 

• By Emma-Jane McLennan 

THE Canterbury University 

professor whose controversial 

Hairspray review hit headlines 

this week has copped abuse from 

angry members of the public. 

But Dr Erin 

Harrington 

(left) says she 

doesn’t regret 

the content of 

her review at 

all, and that 

it has sparked 

an important 

discussion around diversity and 

ethnic issues. 

“The moment you start a conversation 

about this, people get 

sensitive, defensive, abusive and 

what have you. I would like to 

see a much more open conversation 

happening.” 

Hairspray is a musical show 

set in Baltimore, in the 1960s. 

It playfully confronts racial 

integration issues at a time when 

segregation was rife. 

Dr Harrington, an English 

and cultural professor and 

theatre reviewer for six years, 

published an online analysis of 

MUSICAL: The Hairspray cast which has caused a stir in 

Christchurch. 

•From page 1 

Quake Families Group 

spokesman Maan Alkaisi, whose 

wife Maysoon Abbas died in the 

CTV building, said the families 

had been told by police there 

would be an announcement 

soon. 

He said they were hoping to 

see charges laid, to send a message 

it would be taken seriously 

and lessons would be learned 

from what happened. 

He said he would like to see 

justice done for his wife. 

“It has affected all of us, so we 

just have our fingers crossed, as 

they say. We hope that we will 

see justice done, and we can have 

some closure.” 

the show on Friday. In it, she 

said there was “so much to like” 

but its casting of black roles with 

fair-skinned actors who “have 

been given a good once-over 

with some Thin Lizzy . . . was 

mortifyingly tone deaf.” 

Showbiz general manager 

Michael Bayly responded online, 

saying he is “very sorry you have 

found the casting offensive” and 

added that “our black cast are of 

a rich and diverse heritage” but 

they have not chosen to significantly 

alter their appearance. 

The black cast was made up 

of actors of Maori, Polynesian, 

Filipino, Korean, African and 

European descent. 

Mr Bayly pointed out that the 

original creators of Hairspray 

were aware that black characters 

would likely be played by nonblack 

actors in areas outside of 

the United States and “to deny 

an actor the chance to play a role 

due to the colour of his or her 

own skin would be its own form 

In the CTV building, 115 

people were killed. The building 

housed an english language 

school, a medical clinic, a 

Relationship Services office and 

a medical school, as well as the 

CTV studios. 

Matthew McEachen, 25, was 

killed in the collapse of the Southern 

Ink building, Henry Ross 

of racism.” 

It was a respectful conversation 

that blew up when The Press 

published a front-page article on 

Tuesday, titled ‘Race row: Accusations 

aimed at musical,’ Dr 

Harrington said. 

“Them putting it as a ‘race 

row’ is very disrespectful. Their 

framing of our conversation 

is very irresponsible and their 

headline is very click-baity.” 

She said the headline and 

following “one-sided” article 

prompted a knee-jerk reaction 

from the public: “The majority 

of public feedback I’ve received 

online and in comments has 

been negative and even abusive, 

I’ve even received a few messages 

myself – just people throwing 

poo.” 

Dr Harrinton’s review, published 

on theatrereview.org.nz, 

was more than 1300 words long, 

and Mr Bayly’s response was 

more than 800. 

Their conversation continued. 

When Mr Bayly was approached 

by The Star he declined 

to comment further, saying 

Showbiz’s position had “already 

been stated quite clearly.” 

Dr Harrington said it was a 

“great show” and she would simply 

like to see more thought put 

into respectfully representing 

different ethnicities in future.

RECORD NUMBER OF 

VISITORS TO MUSEUM 

Canterbury Museum has 

welcomed a record-breaking 

700,000 visitors in the current 

financial year, 17 days before 

the year has ended. This is the 

highest-ever number of visitors 

for the Museum and its special 

exhibition Quake City and beats 

the current record of 665,866 set 

in the 2015 financial year. 

POLLUTION HIGH 

Christchurch experienced 

its second high pollution day of 

the year on Tuesday. The healthbased 

concentration guideline 

was exceeded with a 24-hour 

average concentration of 63mcg 

of suspended particulate per 

cubic metre of air, measured at 

the monitoring site in Woolston, 

while 53mcg was measured at 

the monitoring site in St Albans. 

By this time last year there had 

been four high pollution days. 

QUARRY UNDERPASS 

Fulton Hogan has spent 

$1 million on installing an 

underpass underneath a public 

road to connect two sides 

of its Miners Rd quarry in 

Yaldhurst. The 1km underpass 

and conveyor belt is expected 

to reduce transport costs for 

the company by saving 30,000 

truck movements a year, as well 

as reducing CO2 emissions and 

improving traffic on the road. 

While the quarry’s processing 

plant is on the east side of 

Miners Rd, most of its extraction 

is taking place on the west side. 

The underpass is expected to be 

up and running within the next 

month.

Sir Ron Scott 

plans to 

return to city 

• By Fraser Walker-Pearce 

THE mastermind behind 

the 1974 Christchurch 

Commonwealth Games may 

be moving back to Canterbury 

while “battling a range” of 

health issues. 

Sir Ron Scott, who now lives 

in Upper Hutt, has been in and 

out of hospital for “the past 12 

months”, suffering from physical 

illnesses. 

Sir Ron, 87, was knighted for 

services to sport. He chaired 

the Christchurch games organising 

committee. 

But he and Lady Beverly are 

eager to return to the city. 

“The problem I had was basically 

– well, I suppose it was 

serious – I just had some bad 

turns with my physical health, 

but I hope that I can get back 

on the horse so to speak,” he 

said. 

“I’m sort of coping with it all 

now. I’ve been to hospital a couple 

of times, which is a bit of a 

nuisance, and we’ve got nurses 

and things about the house 

now. But they’re saying I’ll be 

fine,” he said. 

SCIRT’s fate debated 

• By Shelley Robinson 

THE STRONGER Christchurch 

Infrastructure Rebuild Team 

could stay on for a minimum 

of two years to help the city 

council with its massive rebuild 

programme. 

But opposition is already 

mounting against the plans. 

Critics say it is a way the 

Government could try to retain 

control over the rebuild. SCIRT’s 

legacy of “partial” repairs, said 

to leave a “noose” around the 

neck of the city council, has left 

some sour at the organisation’s 

structure. 

The city council has about 1000 

projects in its capital programme, 

plus a 10-year $100m road resurfacing 

project and not enough 

workers to deliver it. 

City council general manager 

city services David Adamson 

estimated 2000 workers would 

be needed and a “mini-SCIRT” 

could be the answer. 

In the past two weeks, SCIRT 

and the city council have held 

behind closed doors meetings 

over the proposal. If the idea proceeds, 

design work could begin in 

December, said Mr Adamson. 

INFRASTRUCTURE: SCIRT could remain in place for at least two 

more years to continue the city’s massive rebuild programme. 

City councillors will make the 

final decision. 

SCIRT is an alliance of the 

Department of the Prime Minister 

and Cabinet, NZ Transport 

Agency and the city council. It 

was due to finish up at the end of 

the year, handing repairs over to 

the city council. 

Mr Adamson said the city 

council was “fast-tracking” negotiations 

because it was fearful 

without “surety” of work for subcontractors, 

they could be lost to 

Auckland, which also had large 

infrastructure needs. 

“It worries me sub-contractors 

dis-establishing and moving to 

Auckland. Some of those companies 

would be the best in the 

world,” he said. 

The other option on the table is 

a “panel” system, where companies 

pre-qualify for work. 

But city councillors Yani Johanson 

and Glenn Livingstone said 

they would fight against SCIRT 

staying. 

Controversially in 2014, the 

Government changed SCIRT’S 

scope from repairing damaged 

infrastructure to pre-earthquake 

levels of service, to a “network 

performance approach”. This 

meant it would pay for $1.689b 

– $111 million less than the 2013 

cost share agreement. 

But the result was that not all 

earthquake-damaged pipes were 

repaired if it did not meet the new 

threshold. 

“The sooner Christchurch takes 

back control of its assets, the better,” 

said Cr Johanson. 

“It is a bit of a myth that we are 

stronger post-quake. Actually we 

are going to have a huge noose 

around our neck in terms of the 

repairs where we are going to 

have to come back with more 

money later on and do the repairs 

properly,” he said. 

City councillor Paul Lonsdale 

said while there were major 

“missed opportunities” with 

SCIRT, to get rid of it just to 

reduce layers of bureaucracy and 

Government involvement could 

“cut off our nose in spit of our 

face”. 

He said SCIRT could become a 

city council-controlled organisation.

Water charges for Selwyn 


SELWYN RESIDENTS have 

been told they will have to pay 

for the amount of water they 

use, with changes rolling in 

over the next three years. 

It comes at a time when the 

city council is also looking at 

ways to conserve water, because 

its underground aquifers 

are at record lows. 

The Star revealed water 

charges in Christchurch was 

one option being discussed to 

reduce the city’s water use. 

The Christchurch West 

Melton Zone Committee is 

looking at the options, and is 

due to go to the city council 

with its recommendations next 

month. 

But Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

said she was not contemplating 

water charges, and would 

rather put effort into things 

like incentivising collection 

of rainwater or installation of 

grey water recycling systems. 

When the options were 

raised last month, city councillor 

Pauline Cotter said water 

charges did need to be considered. 

“Frankly we don’t value it 

unless we have to pay for it,” 

she said. 

But she said she supported 

the mayor in looking at other 

options first. 

Deputy mayor Vicki Buck 

also backed the stance, saying 

she did not believe water 

rates would be a good use of 

resources. 

“The cost of administrating 

charges in the city may 

be more than the revenue 

produced, which is always a 

consideration.” 

Currently, most Christchurch 

homes are fitted with a 

water meter and checked every 

two years, but if charges were 

introduced that would need to 

be more frequent. 

Ms Buck said protecting 

Christchurch’s water was 

important. 

“The key thing is we have 

this incredible resource, how 

do we keep it good. Because 

that’s the legacy we’re leaving 

our kids, actually, and beyond 

them.” 

But she believed there were 

more important things to 

METERED: Water charges will be a reality for Selwyn 

residents, and now they are also being considered for 

Christchurch. 

spend money on, like protecting 

groundwater from pollution 

or cleaning up rivers and 

waterways. 

Environment Canterbury 

and the city council held 

a joint meeting last week to 

discuss ways they could 

work together to achieve 

that. 

They plan to hold a joint 

seminar later this month to 

share information and look at 

options. 

Principal on 

sex charges 

THE PREBBLETON School community 

was left in shock yesterday as they 

learned of sex charges laid against former 

principal Michael William Hogan. 

Hogan, 54, has admitted to indecent 

offending against a boy who was under 

16. It happened when he was teaching 

in Southland between 1990 and 1992. 

He pleaded not guilty to nine charges 

of sexual violation. 

He initially had name 

suppression, but that 

was lifted yesterday. 

He stepped down 

from his role as principal 

at Prebbleton School 

in September last year. 

But current principal 

Kim Alexander said that was not related 

to the charges, which she said the 

school only learned about yesterday. 

She was not aware of any complaints 

about Hogan during the 16 years he 

was principal at the school, but she 

said she would continue to work with 

the school community. 

“We will continue to communicate 

with, and support, our students, staff 

and parents. They have been provided 

with information regarding police 

and Child, Youth and Family contacts, 

should they need them.” 

Hogan has been remanded in custody 

until August 15. 

Are you ready to play your part 

in Canterbury’s water management? 

We’re looking for people who want to make a difference. We’re 

looking for people who have expertise and want to help find solutions. 

If this sounds like you then applications to join the Regional Water Management 

Committee are now open. The committee is refreshing its community membership 

for the first time since 2013 to ensure new perspectives are reflected. 

What is the Regional Water Management Committee? 

The committee is a key advisory group made up of representatives from councils, 

Rūnanga and the community. 

It provides strategic water management advice to councils and industry groups 

to deliver the multiple targets of the Canterbury Water Management Strategy. 

The committee’s work helps ensure we have safe drinking water supplies, 

sustainable farming practices, clean rivers and streams, as well as protecting 

environmental, cultural, and recreational values.

Chamber backs Townsend 


THE Canterbury Employers’ 

Chamber of Commerce is 

backing its chief executive over 

his decision not to comment 

on East Frame public space 

delays. 

The $31 million public space 

– dubbed the “central park” 

of Christchurch – will be surrounded 

by inner-city residential 

development. 

It is now not expected to be 

finished until the end of next 

year, but was originally set to be 

finished by July last year, then 

the end of this month. 

Peter Townsend (left), chamber 

chief executive and a director 

of Otakaro Ltd, 

the Crown-owned 

company responsible 

for the delivery 

of anchor projects 

and precincts, 

refused to comment 

on the delays in The Star last 

week. As a director, he is not allowed 

to speak to the media. 

A former leading city figure, 

who declined to be named, 

said the rebuild champion was 

“dodging the bullet”. 

“Answering those questions

the public purse, and we have a 

right to ask those questions of 

him.” 

Mr Townsend said he was 

deeply involved in the rebuild, 

adding: “I’ll handle my affairs 

appropriately.” 

Chamber president Tony 

Sewell has defended Mr 

Townsend’s silence, saying the 

board is “100 per cent” supportive 

of Mr Townsend’s work with 

the chamber and across other 

boards. 

“The chamber clearly understands 

and supports Peter in his 

decision not to respond.” 

Mr Sewell added that in the 

event Mr Townsend couldn’t 

comment, someone else would 

step up. When asked what he 

thought of East Frame public 

space delays, he said: “The 

chamber is satisfied that progress 

on this significant range 

of projects [in and around the 

East Frame] is as we expected,” 

he said. 

Former mayor Garry Moore 

said the way Mr Townsend 

refused to comment was 

“ringing every bell in my head”. 

“Peter has a responsibility as 

CEO of the chamber of 

commerce to make sure what 

makes the city tick, actually 

happens. 

“Yes, he has a responsibility 

as director of that company 

[Otakaro], but also to the city. 

This could possibly clash.” 

Tourist lashes 

out in fear 

• By Andrew King 

BACKPACKERS IN Arthur’s Pass 

had to flee a paranoid tourist who 

thought he was being attacked and 

lashed out with pepper spray. 

Police were called to the a backpackers 

after a man phoned to say 

he was being assaulted about 2am 

on Friday morning. 

Senior Constable Tony Beaumont 

arrived to find a number of people 

recovering from being blasted with 

pepper spray. 

“Turns out the man who called 

us thought he was being attacked 

but was actually just paranoid. The 

others were just going about their 

business,” he said. 

He had brought the pepper spray 

in from Germany. It is illegal to possess 

in New Zealand. 

Senior Constable Beaumont said 

it would appear he was “on something”. 

The 28-year-old was arrested and 

charged with possession of a disabling 

substance and will appear in 

the district court today. 

None of the people hit by the pepper 

spray have pressed charges. 

“He was quite confused when we 

turned up. He was unsure why we 

were there. He came right after a 

few hours,” Senior Constable Beaumont 

said.

In Brief 

Brownlee under fire over repairs 

CLARIFICATIONS 

In The Star on June 9, the page 

7 article headlined ‘Property 

prices hit new high’, a comment 

was incorrectly attributed 

to Canterbury Development 

Corporation chief executive Tom 

Hooper. The comment starting 

“All the indicators are there and 

it’s not looking like it will slow 

down . . .” should have been 

attributed to Harcourts’ business 

development manager Mike 

Mullen. 

•Also in The Star on June 9, the 

front-page article headlined 

‘Another delay to a big city 

project’ inferred that Fletcher 

Living is developing the delayed 

East Frame public spaces. While 

Fletcher Living is developing the 

residential areas, a joint venture 

between City Care and JFC ltd 

has been contracted to deliver the 

public spaces. 

FUNDING SOUGHT 

The Port Hills Park Trust Board 

has asked for funding from the 

Spreydon-Heathcote Community 

Board to pay its rates, but it is 

unlikely to get the grant. The 

board gets $15,000 every year 

from the city council, but after 

buying a property on Albert Tce 

at the entrance of Mt Vernon 

Park. 


GERRY BROWNLEE has been 

accused of having “his head in 

the sand” over problems with 

earthquake repairs, as less than 

one in five repaired properties 

EQC has rechecked, met the 

building code. 

The review is of 2325 properties 

which had unconsented 

repairs done, many “jack and 

pack” floor repairs. 

EQC began reviewing the 

properties last year, after an 

MBIE survey of 100 repaired 

homes found more 

than a third did 

not meet building 

code. 

Of the 2134 

properties inspected 

by the end 

of May, only 383 met the building 

code. 

Of the rest, technical reviews 

are being done on 1516 properties, 

and 235 houses have been 

fixed or are having repairs done. 

A petition calling for an independent 

inquiry into repairs was 

organised in September, after 

the issue came to light, and collected 

about 2500 signatures. 

But Mr Brownlee, Minister 

supporting Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration, said at the 

PROBLEM: Of the 32 home repairs which the Government 

found did not meet the building code, most were “jack and 

pack” repairs like this one. 

time the issue was with a small 

number of repairs, and an inquiry 

was not needed. 

Mr Brownlee (left) refused to 

respond to questions from The 

Star this week, saying he had 

answered questions on the topic 

in Parliament, and had nothing 

more to add. 

Labour Canterbury issues 

spokeswoman Megan Woods 

said Mr Brownlee refused to 

accept there was a problem in 

Canterbury. 

“The minister has his head in 

the sand. He is too interested in 

name calling and shooting messengers 

to seriously sit down and 

have a conversation about the 

next step that we have to take in 

Christchurch regarding EQC.” 

She said the latest numbers 

were very concerning. 

“By anyone’s math, that’s a 

fail. It raises serious questions 

around the quality of work 

that’s been done. The thing that 

really worries me is this is only 

a subset of all the repairs that 

have been done, and of the wider 

problems that may be lying out 

there.” 

Last week, when responding 

in Parliament to questions on 

the issue from Dr Woods, Mr 

Brownlee said he believed only 

about five per cent of EQC repairs 

had needed remedial work. 

“I think the thing to remember 

is that even on a new build 

the call-back rate is up to 85 per 

cent. EQC has got a call-back 

rate of around five per cent, 

indicating quite a good performance,” 

he said. 

But petition organiser, insurance 

lawyer Duncan Webb, said 

he believed the problems were a 

lot more widespread. 

“If you think about it there 

were many hundreds of 

thousands of EQC claims, and 

of those many were merely 

cosmetic. You don’t expect many 

complaints to come from filling 

plaster cracks and painting. 

“But if you ask of the significant 

repairs and repairs of 

structural damage, how many 

are defective, what we’re seeing 

is the more serious the repairs 

are the much more likely it is the 

repairs are inadequate. So the 

very ones we should be taking 

the most care with are the ones 

where EQC has failed us, and 

that’s really problematic.” 

He said there had been a “resounding 

silence” from Government 

in response to the petition. 

“In the House, Gerry 

Brownlee was quite dismissive 

of it, saying it was essentially 

grandstanding. But the fact is 

in all the circumstances it’s not 

grandstanding, it’s a very, very 

significant problem.”

Wheelie Bin 

Stocktake 

Christchurch City Council and Waste Management are starting the 

Christchurch Wheelie Bin Stocktake in July. Properties will receive 

a mailbox flyer when the stocktake is taking place in their area. 

✔ 

Changes to tenancy laws 

make it compulsory for all 

rental homes to have smoke 

alarms from 1 July 2016. 

What is the Wheelie 

Bin Stocktake? 

After the major earthquakes, 

many bins have been misplaced, 

stolen or damaged. 

The purpose of the Wheelie 

Bin Stocktake is to save on the 

cost of the collection, disposal 

and processing of material 

which is paid for by rates and 

to make sure properties are not 

receiving additional services 

above their entitlement as this 

is unfair to other ratepayers. 

The stocktake will save the 

Council $9.3 million net by 2029 

when its current contract with 

Waste Management concludes. 

How we are achieving this 

As part of the stocktake, bins will 

be allocated a Radio Frequency 

Identification tag (RFID). RFID tags 

identify the property a bin is allocated 

to, allowing for a more efficient service. 

Waste Management is carrying out this 

stocktake. This will involve: 

• Installing an RFID tag to the wheelie 

bins allocated to your property 

• The stocktake will take four weeks per 

collection run 

• Bins without a RFID tag will be 

removed or no longer able to be 

emptied 

• The stocktake will take approximately 

three years to complete city-wide

✔ Existing alarms working 

✔ Checked & changed batteries

Fear stolen guns will 

fall into gang hands 


POLICE ARE concerned 18 

firearms stolen from a property 

on the outskirts of Christchurch 

could fall into the hands of 

gangs. 

The firearms and two vehicles 

were taken from a Greenpark 

address in the Selwyn district on 

Friday. 

It is understood the firearms 

included several pistols that were 

stored securely. 

Detective Sergeant Damon 

Wells said it’s not unusual for 

gang members to have illegally 

obtained guns so that is something 

police always consider. 

“It is clear that stolen guns are 

making their way into the hands 

of gang members and other 

criminals,” he said. 

One of the vehicles, a Toyota 

Hilux, was found on fire on Victoria 

Park Rd at 6.30am on Saturday 

near the dog exercise area. 

Police would like anyone who 

has seen the second vehicle, a 

black or grey 1999 Toyota Hilux 

Surf with the number plate 

EDG149, to come forward. 

The Star understands another 

burglary at the Milton St Challenge 

petrol station in Somerfield 

could be linked with the Greenpark 

burglary. 

Police want information about 

people unlawfully in possession of 

any firearms, or if any gun safes 

are located dumped in any area. 

“We need the help of the public 

to be protect firearms they have 

from being stolen . . . especially 

in rural areas,” Detective Sergeant 

Wells said. 

WANTED: Police 

are looking for 

a 1999 Toyota 

Hilux Surf, 

similar to this, 

which was

address on

Neighbour springs to action 


A BROMLEY man disregarded 

his own safety to fight a fire that 

was threatening surrounding 

properties on Tuesday night. 

The blaze started after ash was 

put in a plastic bin in the garage 

of a Linwood Ave home about 

8.30pm. 

Neighbour 

Garry Harris 

(left), who lives 

two houses back 

on McGregors 

Rd, was walking 

up his driveway 

and saw the 

flames leaping into the air from 

the garage. 

“I didn’t think about my safety 

I just grabbed a hose and started 

attacking the flames,” he said. 

Mr Harris said the heat was so 

intense he had to protect his face 

with his hand. 

“I was a good distance away, 

but it was still burning my face. 

It was like that for a while after I 

had moved away,” he said. 

The occupant was treated for 

smoke inhalation at the scene 

but didn’t need to be hospitalised. 

Mr Harris said the heat was so 

intense it blew out all the windows 

at the rear of the garage,

melted his neighbour’s 

clothes-line and cracked her 

window. 

“It was lucky there was not 

more wind. Had there have been 

a northerly breeze it would have 

swept through the rest of these 

houses,” he said. 

Mr Harris said he had to do 

something. 

“I couldn’t just run away. All I 

could think about was saving the 

neighbours properties and my 

own,” he said. 

Firefighters fought the fire for 

close to two hours. 

Yesterday another fire was 

attacked by a neighbour after 

the alarm was raised in Hornby 

about 11am. 

Elliott Meadows, 20, rushed to 

put out a fire on his neighbour’s 

deck on Dickson Cres who was 

not home at the time. 

“I just tore over there with 

my rubbish bin and filled it 

with water and put it out,” he 

said. 

A firefighter on the scene said 

it was a small fire, easily controlled 

that would not require a 

fire investigator. 

It is believed the fire started 

with a cigarette butt.

Our People 

The iron fist in 

a velvet glove 

He’s the man with a huge responsibility on his shoulders: Delivering key anchor 

projects and precincts to Christchurch. But there is a lot more to Otakaro chief 

executive Albert Brantley – who rubs shoulders with the likes of former United States 

President Jimmy Carter. He speaks to Emma-Jane McLennan on pages 12, 13 and 14 

INTERESTING LIFE: (From left) – Albert Brantley 

in his younger days doing mineral surveys in 

the Rocky Mountains for the Alberta Research 

Centre (all done on horseback, in bear country, 

hence the rifle) and with his adopted daughter, 

Sarah (aged around 2 at the time) at the 

Shuweihat power plant in Abu Dhabi.




ur People 

ALBERT BRANTLEY has a 

good handshake. 

It’s the same handshake he 

used when meeting former 

United States president Jimmy 

Carter, when negotiating tricky 

trade deals close to Taliban 

frontlines – and now – as he sets 

out to do his part in restoring 

Christchurch to its former glory. 

It is also the first thing I notice 

when he ushers me into his 

Worcester Boulevard office, eight 

storeys up with floor-to-ceiling 

views of the Avon River and 

Cathedral beyond. 

He motions at the busy cityscape: 

“It’s beautiful, isn’t it? I 

can see it all happening,” he says. 

The Canadian speaks with a 

gentle accent – one that has stuck 

with him through decades lived 

in New Zealand and overseas. 

He has been to a lot of places, 

and he has got a lot of stories to 

tell. 

He doesn’t tell them much. 

This is the first time he has 

talked publicly since he was appointed 

to the Otakaro role in 

April. He usually prefers to get 

the work done than talk about it, 

he tells me. 

We both take our seats, and 

Mr Brantley starts his story from 

the beginning. 

“I was born in Canada, and me 

and my older sister were brought 

up by our grandmother there. 

She [my grandmother] knew 

FUTURE PRESIDENT: Jimmy Carter, then the Governor of Georgia, and Albert Brantley at the opening of the ground sloth 

display at the University of Georgia Science LIbrary in 1973. (Right): Brantley with wife, Beverley, and daughter Sarah 

(aged around 3) in the Empty Quarter, Saudi Arabia. 

she wouldn’t always be there for 

us, so she was pretty big on selfreliance.” 

While still in high school, 

Mr Brantley took on a job at a 

textile manufacturer to help pay 

the bills. This was no ordinary 

after-school job – Mr Brantley 

would work an eight-hour shift 

starting at midnight every night, 

then pull off an entire school day 

after that. 

It was the hard slog that made 

him aim high in his career, he 

explains. 

“I just realised I wanted 

something better, so I earned a 

scholarship to study geology and 

engineering.” 

A young Mr Brantley moved 

out of home and headed to Georgia 

to take up the scholarship – a 

move that would shape the rest 

of his life. 

He was at graduate school 

when he got an interesting call. 

The state of Georgia was building 

a highway, and roadworkers had 

unearthed what they thought 

was a Spanish cannonball. 

Mr Brantley was asked to 

investigate, he explains: “What 

it actually was, was a hip bone 

of a giant ground sloth [a 

prehistoric elephant-sized sloth]. 

It was one of the biggest ever 

found.” 

Embedded in the ground 

underneath the planned 

motorway were not one, but 

three prehistoric sloth skeletons. 

Mr Brantley was tasked with 

excavating them (“it would pay 

for the rest of my studies,” he 

explains) and that’s when the 

then-future president Jimmy 

Carter stepped in. 

“He was the governor of Georgia 

at the time, and he said if I 

could unearth all three skeletons, 

he would pay to get one mounted 

at the museum, and he would be 

there at the opening,” he says. 

So unearth all three Mr Brantley 

did, and true to his word, Mr 

Carter was at the opening. 

The two kept in touch, and to 

this day Mr Brantley catches up 

with the now-former president 

“every now and then.”

“Yes, I’ve met with him multiple 

times over many years, but I’m 

not claiming friendship with 

the ex-president, no no. Jimmy 

and I come from very similar 

backgrounds and have similar 

values, we share many of the same 

beliefs,” he explains humbly. 

The strong morals and ethics his 

grandmother taught have stuck 

with Mr Brantley and served him 

well in business, he says. 

“In all my years of business I’ve 

done nothing I’ve been ashamed 

of.” 

After graduate school, he took 

a job at a mine working out of 

northern Canada. But eight years 

of working on the Arctic ice was 

“quite enough” he says, with a 

small shiver at the thought. 

“To be perfectly honest, I was 

tired to death of freezing at 60 

degrees below zero.” 

That’s when he got offered a job 

in Perth, Western Australia. He 

moved there, and never lived in 

Canada again, he said. 

“I’ve been a bit of a professional 

gypsy ever since.” 

He first came to New Zealand 

in the late 1980s – serving for 

four years as the chief executive 

of L&M Mining. During that 

time he met his future wife, 

Beverley, in Christchurch. They 

married soon after, and she travelled 

the world with him - always 

following the next job. 

There’s not a lot of jobs calling 

for Mr Brantley’s unique skill set. 

He has worked at multi-billion 

dollar desalination plants in the 

Middle East and Pakistan, where 

he was given huge responsibility 

to bring together teams and ensure 

whole countries had a fresh 

water source. 

Working across different cultures 

and countries has given Mr 

Brantley a gentle, but firm leadership 

style. He was once described 

as “an iron fist in a velvet glove.” 

“I know a thousand ways of 

saying ‘no’ without offending 

anyone. I’ve realised by working 

with people that there are many

different views of the world and 

they’re not necessarily ‘right’ or 

‘wrong’ but you’ve got to stick to 

what you believe,” he says. 

He has worked in India, South 

America and the unsettled 

Philippines – under the Marcos 

regime at the time. 

His growing family was always 

in tow. Erin (now 37), was born 

in Guatemala, Ryan (now 33), 

was born in the Philippines and 

Sarah (now 15), was born in Guatemala. 

I ask him if he considered 

it dangerous. He shrugs. 

“When I was working for big 

American companies, they got 

me to do a CIA defensive driving 

course because they were worried 

about possible kidnapping risk.” 

A security detail was assigned 

to Mr Brantley and his family in 

many places. 

He helped evacuate ex-pat 

American families from Saudi 

Arabia in danger zones just after 

the September 11 terror attacks. 

In Pakistan he managed a 

power plant close to Taliban 

front lines, in the Philippines 

he operated under the Marcos 

regime – considered one of the 

worst dictatorships in its history. 

He wasn’t in direct danger – “just 

in danger of being caught in 

crossfire,” he explains calmly. 

But while he travelled all 

around the world, Christchurch 

always had the pull of home. 

“New Zealand for me is like 

a small Canada. Christchurch 

has the flavour and appeal of a 

country-roots kind of city which 

is trying to grow up a little, it has 

all the advantages of an urban 

culture but it doesn’t overpower 

the natural landscape.”

HORROR: 

Albert 

Brantley 

helped 

evacuate 

ex-pat 

American 

families 

from Saudi 

Arabia 

after the 

September 

11 terror 

attacks. 

When the Government started 

planning Canterbury Earthquake 

Recovery Authority’s disestablishment 

last year, Mr Brantley 

did his research and planned his 

next move. 

“I looked at the structural work 

that still needs to be done, and settled 

pretty quickly that Otakaro 

would be the place I could do the 

most good. Since my appointment 

I’ve had conversations with Ross 

Butler [Otakaro chairman] and 

he’s described trying to attract 

me to the position. I remember 

it more as me trying to convince 

him I really wanted this job.” 

Mr Brantley’s appointment 

was announced in December last 

year, and he officially started in 

the role on May 2. Well before 

his start date, he was already 

assembling the team he deemed 

fit to take on a large chunk of the 

city’s recovery. 

While he’s still in the set-up 

stage, he tells me there are some 

“big announcements” coming 

soon. 

Mr Brantley needs to restore 

confidence in the rebuild. It won’t 

be easy. 

City leaders are sceptical about 

what Otakaro will achieve, after 

CERA’s ambitious post-quake 

multi-million dollar city plans 

have been largely unrealised as 

timelines are pushed back and 

budgets cut. 

The Convention Centre has 

faced delay after delay, causing 

a hold-up in central city 

development. The Metro Sports 

Facility and sports stadium may 

not be delivered for many years 

yet. Instability in anchor project 

timelines has been blamed for a 

lack of confidence in the rebuild. 

I ask Mr Brantley to describe 

his vision for the city. He clasps 

his hands, businesslike. 

“Certainly Otakaro’s purpose 

is driven by the delivery of 

anchor projects, then there’s also 

the management of land as the 

Crown is a substantial landowner 

of the central city and red zone. 

I’ve used my geology training to 

work backwards – I’ve looked at 

what the city could look like in 10 

years’ time and worked off that. 

It’s really important that we drive 

the vision for the city.” 

There were rumours the 

67-year-old was set to retire after 

Genesis Energy. 

I ask Mr Brantley if that was 

true. He immediately shakes his 

head. 

“No, no, no. I was not going 

to retire, I was always going to 

look for something new. It just

artists’ impression 

of what the 

Convention Centre 

could look like. It is 

one of the anchor 

projects Otakaro 

Ltd is charged with 

delivering. 

depended on what – and when 

this opportunity came along 

it was just too good to pass 

up.” 

While many his age are enjoying 

a more leisurely lifestyle, Mr 

Brantley continues to get up at 

around 3.30 every morning to 

start work. 

Its something he has done all 

his life – waking up very early 

without an alarm clock, he says. 

He is “notorious” amongst his 

employees for early-morning 

emails. 

Mr Brantley plans to stay at 

the helm of Otakaro for “at 

least” five years, and see the next 

phase of the rebuild out, he tells 

me. 

“I’ve got a job to do. I’m fit, I’m 

healthy and I challenge all the 

younger guys to keep up.”

ONE OF Canterbury’s most 

valuable economic earners – 

international education – is set 

to double, bringing close to a 

billion dollars to the region. 

Last year, almost 10,000 international 

students came to study 

in Christchurch, and by 2025 

that figure is set to increase to 

25,000, according to the Canterbury 

International Education 

Destination 2025 Strategy. 

International education is 

Canterbury’s fifth largest export 

earner, and the change will 

be positive for the economy, 

Christchurch 

Educated 

regional 

co-ordinator 

Bree Loverich 

(right) said. 

“This is going 

to increase 

the economic 

value to $1 billion a year. But 

there are so many other benefits.” 

Ms Loverich said other benefits 

included flow-on effect to 

the tourism, accommodation, 

telecommunication and entertainment 

industries, as well as a 

benefit for Kiwi students. 

“They also provide an incredible 

value to the region in terms 

of cultural and social benefits 

with the diversity that they 

bring.” 

She said Christchurch students 

can greatly benefit from 

the diversity, especially those 

that do not have the opportunity 

to travel overseas in their 

school years. 

“In a global world and the 

21st century, this is absolutely 

essential for their future.” 

Changes impact 

on Belfast plant 

• By Dene Mackenzie 

SILVER FERN Farms is 

planning to upgrade its cold 

store facilities at its Pareora 

site and close its leased 

Canterbury cold store in 

Belfast. 

The meat processor announced 

last month it was 

moving its Islington venison 

operations to Pareora and 

spending $5 million on a new 

venison processing plant at the 

South Canterbury operation 

as part of the change. 

Twenty-eight staff would 

be affected by the cold store 

closure. They were being consulted 

about transfer options 

within the group. 

SFF chief operating officer 

Kevin Winders said staff at 

Islington accepted the venison 

relocation proposal last 

month. 

“We are making headway 

on the planning for the $5 

million redevelopment of the 

Pareora site. We are aiming to 

have the site processing by the 

end of this year.’’ 

At the outset, SFF wanted to 

retain as many of the Islington 

team as possible as they were 

skilled and dedicated people 

who were needed at other 

sites, he said. 

SFF chief executive Dean 

Hamilton said the achievement 

of the company in 

inventory management meant 

it did not require as much cold 

storage as it had in the past. 

It made little sense to redevelop 

what were old facilities 

on the leased site when the 

company was redeveloping existing 

cold storage at its owned 

Pareora site. 

“Regarding the placement 

of staff, Mr Hamilton said the 

people there were needed in 

the company and he wanted to 

retain their skills and experience. 

There were options for the 

staff at the Belfast beef plant, 

at the Fairton (Ashburton) 

lamb plant and at Pareora. 

Those options would be 

discussed with staff in the 

consultation process – Otago

Warning as rebuild jobs dry up 


CONSTRUCTION: Workers in Durham St contribute to the 

rebuild. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

A VICTORIA University 

economics professor has 

warned Christchurch could 

be headed for big problems 

unless there is a focused effort 

to create sustainable jobs. 

But the Canterbury Employers’ 

Chamber of Commerce 

chief executive Peter 

Townsend disagreed, saying 

the economy was strong 

enough to adapt. 

Professor Ilan Noy specialises 

in the economics of disasters, 

and has recently finished a 

project with the Reserve Bank 

of New Zealand looking at 

the effects of the Canterbury 

earthquakes on the economy 

over the past five years. 

With an estimated 23,900 

trades jobs created through 

the rebuild and about 12,000 

extra jobs created to support 

them, he said the crunch 

would come when those jobs 

dried up. 

As the rebuild of Christchurch 

was taking a lot longer 

than it had in most countries 

post-disaster, he said that was 

likely to make the transition 

harder. 

“They’ve been talking about 

20-25 years until the construction 

is completely over, so 

you’re talking a generation. 

So there is a risk it will fail, 

because the employment 

pattern will change and 

people will find it hard to 

adjust.” 

After the 1995 earthquake 

in Kobe, Japan, 

he said the average 

income had dropped, as 

there were fewer jobs in 

manufacturing and more in 

the lower-paid service sector, 

and the region had struggled 

to recover. 

He said the drop in enrolments 

at Canterbury University 

was another concern, as 

universities were not only big 

employers but drew qualified 

people into the city. 

The number of students 

dropped from 18,783 in 2010, 

to 14,830 last year. The city 

needed to actively encourage 

growth in sectors like 

education or technology 

if it was to avoid a 

slump, he said. But Mr 

Townsend (left) said 

Christchurch was in 

an “economic sweet 

spot” and he believed it 

would remain strong. 

He said a drop in demand 

for construction labour was 

likely to be at least four years 

away, and businesses were 

already planning for it. 

“We do have the economic 

opportunities, as we 

go through the rebuild and 

come out the other end of it, to 

ensure that those people who 

want to stay and live and work 

in Christchurch and Canterbury 

will have the ability to 

do so. 

“It’s not going to be a rigid 

sort of autocratic planning 

process that is going to drive 

our labour force into the 

future, it’s going to be the 

ability of a growing economy 

to absorb a diverse labour pool 

into other areas.” 

He said both tourism and 

agriculture were growing in 

Canterbury, and he believed 

they could absorb a lot of construction 

or services jobs. 

He said recruiting the 

workers to join the rebuild 

and holding on to them had 

not been as difficult as was 

expected. He believed people 

would be just as flexible as the 

rebuild was winding down. 

“I certainly am not into a 

doom and gloom scenario. I 

think we do need to be proactive 

in terms of planning 

our future, but our future is 

going to be good not bad. 

“Nothing is going to fall 

off a cliff anytime soon in 

terms of labour involvement 

in our community, and when 

the changes are made they 

will be made gradually, not 

overnight.”

Warm up your house at the Home Show 

PREPARATIONS FOR The 

Star Home & Leisure Show are 

ramping up, with two weeks 

to go until the doors open. 

More than 12,000 people 

visited the show last year, 

which runs over Friday, Saturday 

and Sunday. 

The show features the latest 

trends and technology for 

home building or renovation, 

as well as show-only special 

deals on everything from spa 

pools to campervans. 

You can talk directly with 

the experts there to get advice 

or tips, watch live demonstrations 

or take the opportunity 

to try new products or technology. 

There will also be plenty of 

prizes and giveaways on offer, 

including a $25,000 central 

heating system, thanks to 

Central Heating New Zealand. 

The show will be held at 

Horncastle Arena, July 1-3 

from 10am to 5pm, with free

SHOW 

IT WASN’T until he spent 

several years living in the United 

Kingdom that Central Heating 

New Zealand director Lyall 

Smith realised how cold his 

childhood homes had been. 

He said most Kiwis would 

rather spend money on boats, 

spa pools or a second car than 

investing in heating their home. 

“The Kiwi is an interesting 

character. We’re hardy by nature 

and we’ve been brought up cold, 

so a lot of people say, well, we 

don’t need it. 

“We go for more interesting 

things like spa pools, which have 

been a huge success in New Zealand, 

more so than in most other 

parts of the world. 

“People are cold in their 

homes so they sit in the spa and 

think this is fantastic, when 

if their home was warm they 

almost wouldn’t need it. We feel 

GIVEAWAY: Central Heating New Zealand director Lyall Smith plans to give away a $25,000 

central heating system at the show. 

the tough old Kiwi is missing 

out.” 

Once central heating was 

installed, he said it was more 

efficient and a more comfortable 

heat than other systems, with 

an even heat and no forced air 

movement. 

But he said the higher up-front 

cost of the system, which starts 

at about $15,000, put people off. 

“People have a budget when 

they’re building, and it’s often 

the first thing to go. They think, 

I don’t need a flash heating 

system because I have a new 

house, it’ll be warm. But that’s a 

fallacy. They’re building an insulated 

box, so it’s like a chilly bin. 

When it’s cold, it’s really cold.” 

The heat source could range 

from boilers powered by gas or 

diesel, to electric-powered heat 

pumps, which pumped water 

rather than air, to geothermal 

systems. 

Although he said the “only 

form of truly green heating is a 

jersey”, the systems were clean 

burning and efficient. 

Once the pipes were installed, 

the heat source could be 

swapped out if new technology 

developed. 

He planned to have a range of 

radiators on display at The Star 

Home & Leisure Show. 

He said they came in a range 

of “funky colours” and styles. 

The company will also be giving 

away a free central heating system 

worth $25,000 at the show.

Natural health 

regulation harmful 

• By Donna Miles 

A UNIVERSITY of Canterbury 

psychology professor has hit out 

at the Natural Health Products 

Bill saying it is a step backwards 

in the prevention and treatment 

of mental health. 

Professor 

Julia Rucklidge’s 

(right) research 

showed 

micronutrients 

(combination 

of vitamins and 

minerals) offer 

a “dramatically 

simple” solution to the treatment 

of ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity 

Disorder). 

Professor Rucklidge said the 

MPs who supported the Bill 

may not understand its “harmful” 

implications in restricting 

access for those who relied on 

natural products to stay well, 

as the cost of complying with 

new regulations would push 

up prices, drive small industry 

operators out, and stifle innovation.

The Bill proposes to regulate 

the manufacturing and selling 

of natural health products 

in New Zealand by creating 

an evolving list of permitted 

ingredients and health claims 

in addition to the existing list of 

banned ingredients. 

Dr Guy Hatchard, a life-long 

natural health practitioner 

and former Natural Health 

Products director, said under 

the current proposal, non-permitted 

ingredients and health 

claims had to be registered at 

the cost of $800 per compound 

and $5000 per health claim. 

Dr Hatchard said the group 

of 10 companies he represented, 

from the NZ Wellness Association 

and the Natural Health 

Alliance, all opposed the Bill. 

“In Australia, where they 

have introduced a similar law, a 

lot of small companies went out 

of business.” 

Natural Products NZ is the 

industry umbrella group for 

New Zealand’s natural product 

manufacturers and marketers.

Its executive director Alison 

Quesnel said its members 

welcomed the new legislation 

because it better protected 

consumers and supported 

exports. 

“New Zealand needs a modern 

regulatory environment 

that recognises consumers’ 

right to information about 

natural health products and 

their functions, and the right 

to access products that are safe 

and effective.” 

Green Party health spokesperson 

Kevin Hague said the 

Bill ensured that natural products 

sold in New Zealand were 

safe, true to claim and true to 

label. 

His party has proposed two 

amendments to the Bill to 

ensure natural products were 

not derived from threatened 

plant species and to ensure 

compliance with the Treaty of 

Waitangi. Mr Hague said without 

the amendments his party 

might withdraw its support for 

the Bill. 

Rebuild project 

placed on hold 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

WORK TO rebuild Lyttelton 

Timeball Station has been delayed 

until at least the end of the year 

while nearby roadworks are 

completed. 

Heritage New Zealand was to 

begin rebuilding the timeball 

tower, mechanism and flagpole of 

the category 1 heritage building 

next month. 

But the rebuild project has been 

put on hold to avoid conflict with 

the road works on Sumner Rd 

and Reserve Tce, which are being 

carried out now. 

Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure 

Rebuild Team is repairing 

earthquake damaged retaining 

walls on Reserve Tce, which is 

scheduled to be completed by the 

end of the year. 

Work is continuing on the Lyttelton 

end of Sumner Rd, making 

access difficult to the timeball 

site. 

Southern Region general 

manager Sheila Watson said the 

Heritage New Zealand Board had 

made the decision to put work on 

hold to put the community first. 

“Residents in the immediate 

Have you lifted 

your carpets? 

area will already be constrained 

in getting to and from their 

homes by the road works and we 

don’t want to add to that with 

activity on the site.” 

She said the stone masonry 

needed the use of traditional lime 

mortar and render, and would 

need to be done outside winter to 

ensure proper curing. 

“As a result, the timing of construction 

would need to ensure 

that stone masonry work could 

be undertaken in the spring and 

summer months.” 

Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community 

Board deputy chairwoman 

Christine Wilson said everyone 

wanted to see the timeball rebuilt, 

but the residents needed to come 

first. 

“If it’s going to be extra stress 

on residents up there, for me I 

think it’s common sense that it’s 

delayed.” 

Built in 1876, Lyttelton Timeball

Bringing communities 

back to life 

City councillor Raf 

Manji writes about 

how suburban plans 

can be brought to life 

through a new arm of 

the city council. 

Post-earthquake, much 

of the focus has been on 

the rebuilding of the central city 

and the long-awaited anchor 

projects. 

At the same time, many communities 

have been asking for 

help and engagement on the 

re-development of their villages 

and suburban centres. 

The city council has developed 

a number of suburban 

master plans but has limited 

ability to bring them to life, as 

the areas often include private 

landowners and developers. 

This was one of the reasons 

the city council set up a new 

entity called Development 

Christchurch Limited. DCL has 

responsibility for working with 

the community and the private 

sector to bring about better outcomes 

for local areas. 

At the most basic level, this 

means helping with the redevelopment 

of local malls and 

village shops, using city councilowned 

land to energise new 

investment and allow local 

communities, business 

associations and groups 

to drive the changes they 

want to see in their commercial 

neighbourhoods. 

For example, this new 

approach could provide a 

great opportunity for Bishopdale 

Mall. As the city council 

owns the land, it’s in a good 

position to work with the community 

to enable the regeneration 

of the public space, as well 

as the upgrade of the current 

commercial stock. 

A recent example of community 

input is the new Bishopdale 

Library and community centre, 

which will shortly get underway. 

The joint working group process 

to prepare the plan illuminated 

the new, inclusive approach 

from the city council, which 

DCL will look to build on. 

Opportunities for local management 

of the public space and 

the ability to re-draw the map of 

the building footprints will help 

to make Bishopdale Mall an 

even more attractive place for 

the local community to visit and 

act as a core driver of economic 

and social activity for the northwest. 

Investment in defence 

AS MINISTER of Defence, it 

was a privilege to launch the 

Defence White Paper 2016 

last week, outlining a 15-year 

modernisation plan worth nearly 

$20 billion to ensure the New 

Zealand Defence Force has the 

capabilities it needs to meet the 

country’s security and defence 

challenges. 

These challenges include 

having awareness of, and being 

able to response to, activities 

in our EEZ, supporting our 

interests in Antarctica and the 

Southern Ocean, and protecting 

Defence information networks 

against increasing cyber threats. 

The White Paper outlines 

current plans to replace 

or enhance existing major 

capabilities such as the Anzac 

frigates as well as strategic 

and tactical airlift capability. It 

also signals investment in new 

capabilities. 

The major point of difference 

from the last White Paper in 

2010 is an increased focus on 

cyber threats and cyber security 

issues. 

As the world changes, the 

use of technology and the 

internet as a sinister tool will 

Gerry Brownlee 

only increase. That’s why the 

White Paper includes new cyber 

support capabilities to improve 

the protection of Defence Force 

information networks. 

Additional defence intelligence 

personnel will also be trained to 

better support current and future 

operations. 

New Zealand has never shied 

away from playing its part on the 

international stage, and one of 

the areas where our presence is 

most felt is in the Antarctic and 

Southern Ocean. 

As New Zealand looks to 

increase its presence and its 

responsiveness to operations in 

the South Pacific and Antarctica, 

investment will focus on icestrengthening 

the planned third 

offshore patrol vessel and a new 

naval tanker to better support 

operations in these areas. 

The Government will also 

invest in a new vessel to enable 

the Defence Force to respond 

faster to humanitarian and 

disaster response activities in the 

South Pacific. 

The investment in the new and 

enhanced capabilities outlined 

in the White Paper ensures our 

Defence Force is equipped to 

continue its good work at home 

and abroad. 

New Zealand has carved out 

an enviable reputation on the 

world stage. We have led the 

way on free trade, playing our 

role as peacemaker and standing 

alongside our allies in conflict 

zones. 

Upskilling our personnel 

and improving our Defence 

technology means New Zealand 

can continue to pull its weight on 

the world stage.

Give your support to healthy homes 

IN MY column a few weeks ago, 

I wrote about Andrew Little’s 

Healthy Homes Bill, which 

would bring in proper standards 

for heating and insulation in 

rental homes. 

In a country like New Zealand, 

it’s just wrong that we have thousands 

of Kiwi kids turning up 

to hospital every year sick with 

third world diseases because the 

homes they live in a cold, damp 

and unhealthy. 

Proper rental standards are 

becoming more important than 

ever as New Zealand’s housing 

crisis gets worse and worse. 

With home ownership rates 

at their lowest levels in 65 years, 

more Kiwis are going to find 

themselves renting for longer. 

It’s vital those people aren’t 

consigned to years stuck in cold, 

mouldy houses that make their 

kids sick. That’s not the kind of 

country we want to live in. 

Megan Woods 

Since that column, I’m very 

pleased to say that Andrew’s 

Bill has passed its first reading 

through Parliament. The Bill was 

supported by Labour, the Greens, 

New Zealand First, United 

Future and the Maori Party. It 

shows just how widespread the 

support for healthy homes is that 

this bill had backing from right 

across the political spectrum. 

Not everyone saw the sense 

in the Bill though. National and 

ACT both opposed it, but we still 

have the chance to change their 

mind. The next step for the Bill is 

to go to one of Parliament’s select 

committees, where members of 

the public will be able to make 

submissions in favour of the Bill. 

It’s my strong hope that as 

many Cantabrians as possible 

will make submissions in favour 

of the Bill, to send a strong message 

from the Government that 

proper rental standards are well 

past due. 

If you’d like information 

on the Bill contact any of the 

Canterbury Labour MPs or you 

can email me at megan.woods@ 

parliament.govt.nz. 

It’s really important people 

make their voice heard on this 

bill – it passed its first reading 

by just one vote. For a Bill that 

would make such a big different 

to so many people’s lives, that’s a 

small margin. 

Let’s all keep our fingers 

crossed. 

Megan Woods is Labour’s 

Canterbury spokeswoman 

Michael J. Brathwaite – Your 

poll on who will win the American 

presidential election gives a very 

misleading view of public opinion: 

It seems all the people interviewed 

were at the university, where 

you will find a much higher 

percentage of liberals than you 

would have found among the general 

public. 

THe conservative majority, I 

suspect, would prefer to see Donald 

Trump win the election. 

I certainly would. Hillary Clinton 

has some good policies, but I find 

her left-wing stances on moral issues 

repugnant. 

Donald Trump is a showman, 

which has been reflected in his campaign, 

but some political scientists 

have been saying he could make a 

good president, and I agree with 

them. 

Elaine Griffin – What I find most 

objectionable about the current 

war on smokers is that it brings out 

the worst in people by encouraging 

selective bullying. 

No one is going to confront loitering 

groups of tattooed gangs, but it 

will be open season on the frail, the 

vulnerable, and the seniors who’ve 

smoked all their lives and God 

knows have few remaining pleasures. 

Any more punishing legislation 

– and that includes constant tax 

increases – will also almost certainly 

lead to increased crime. 

Raids on dairies will become more 

frequent and the selling of black 

market cigarettes more prevalent.

Cruise with the crocs in Daintree 

• By Mike Yardley 

THE WORLD Heritageprotected 

Daintree region 

of North Queensland is a 

tropical wonderland in excelsis, 

comprising 95km of supreme 

coastal rainforest and white-sand 

tropical beaches. 

Dutifully picked up by my 

AAT Kings ground operator in 

Port Douglas, our bus truck was 

under the command of driver/ 

guide Alison, an effusive and 

entertaining host, who engaged 

us all day with her passionate 

knowledge and enchanting 

anecdotes about this remarkable 

pocket of wild and protected 

Australia. 

En-route to Mossman, vast 

swathes of sugarcane plantations 

awaiting harvest dwarfed 

the highway, inter-linked with 

narrow-gauge railway tracks 

providing trusty transportation 

to the processing plant. 

From Mossman, it’s a short 

hop to the Daintree River, 

where we boarded our boat for 

a taste of wildlife unplugged. 

The 140km long Daintree River, 

of which a third is tidal, boasts 

a bewildering abundance of 

wildlife. In fact 40 per cent of 

all of Australia’s bird species can 

be found in the Daintree, but it’s 

sighting the saltwater crocodiles 

who lurk in the river that provides 

the biggest frisson. 

Our river cruise pilot, Bruce, 

added a sense of theatre to the 

croc-spotting mission, excitedly 

yelling out, “Tracking 12 o’clock, 

tracking, tracking…just in front 

of us…croc identified!” 

As it was, with the tide high, 

most of the crocs were partially 

submerged in the mangroves. 

We also spotted a plethora of 

hatchlings, sunning themselves 

on tree stumps. 

Bruce remarked that the good 

thing about the hatchlings, is 

they’re easy to photograph. “Get 

them enlarged and you’re friends 

will never know it was just a 

baby you snapped.” 

For every crocodile egg that 

hatch, only one in every 100 

HATCHLING: Young crocodiles face a formidable array of predators. (Centre): The Mossman Gorge is a huge provider of 

traditional food for indigenous people, Kuku Yalanji is a local guide. The river is also safe a for a cooling dip. 

babies survive the first year. 

They face a formidable array of 

predators including the amethystine 

python, the third largest 

snake in the world, spanning 9m 

in length. These guys swallow 

saltwater crocodiles, cassowaries, 

dogs, chooks – even kangaroos. 

What a diet. 

Disembarking from the boat 

on the north side of the Daintree 

River, you enter the heart of the 

forest, which is considered the 

oldest rainforest in the world, 

clocking in at 135 million years. 

We headed to Alexandra 

Range Lookout, or Wal Wugirriga, 

which provides a supreme 

panoramic perspective of how 

the lush rainforest dips down to 

the waterline to meet the Great 

Barrier Reef. 

Two World Heritage treasures, 

essentially locking lips. Traversing 

some artfully designed 

boardwalks and aerial walkways, 

I gazed in awe at the multitude of 

ferns, palms and cycads, marvelling 

at the variety of shapes, 

forms and textures within the 

forest. 

After lunch, we headed to 

Cape Tribulation, evocatively 

named by Captain James Cook, 

while mapping the East Coast 

of Australia in 1770-71. Trials 

and much tribulation confronted 

Cook and his crew, after the Endeavour 

struck the Great Barrier 

PEACEFUL: The Daintree River cruise with host Alison. 

Reef, gouging a massive hole in 

the ship’s side. 

Cape Tribulation Beach is a 

beauty, a crescent-shaped sweep 

of creamy sand. Gazing across 

this stupendous beach from the 

look out, the lack of swimmers 

was conspicuous. And wisely so. 

Box jellyfish were out in force, 

swimming and drifting on the 

current. They have the most 

lethal toxin known to man. 

October to May is stinger 

season – do not venture in these 

waters. But alongside the Daintree’s 

menacing beasties, beauty 

abounds. 

Alison’s razor-sharp sight spotted 

a glorious peppermint stick 

insect chilling out on a palm 

frond. It looked like a giant twig 

dunked in vivid lime. 

Our final stop was at Mossman 

Gorge, where we delighted in 

the recent eco-tourism developments 

that have been created by 

the Mossman Gorge Aboriginal 

community, and the traditional 

Daintree owners, the Kuku 

Yalanji. 

Ninety per cent of the employees 

at the Mossman Gorge 

Centre are indigenous. We met 

our local Kuku Yalanji guide, 

Tom, who imparted a fabulous 

overview of his culture, basic 

language skills (Yalada!) and 

insights about how the forest has 

been a huge provider of traditional 

food, medicine, the artistic 

palette, tools and weaponry for 

his people. 

After a scrumptious afternoon 

tea of damper scones and locally 

made honey – oh, and more 

Daintree tea, Alison led us on a 

dreamy forest hike via the beautiful 

boardwalks and suspension 

bridges. 

More stirring forest species 

were pinpointed, from the electric 

red flowers of native ginger, 

to the eye-catching basket ferns 

and towering red cedars, with 

buttress roots. 

Our walk culminated with one 

last crescendo – the confluence 

of the Rex Creek and Mossman 

River waters, at the Gorge. 

Crystal-clear water cascades over 

the rich sandstone rocks. 

Clad in verdant forest finery, 

it’s a magical setting. And yes – 

you can safely enjoy a cooling 

dip here.

Gardening 

Pak choi - the hero crop 

Rachel Vogan gets 

excited about one of 

the super-hero crops 

for this time of year 

WITH STRONG Asian connections, 

Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis is a bit 

of a mouthful, but simply put, it is 

part of the cabbage family. 

Pak choi – known also as bak choy 

– is a hero crop that requires only a 

small patch of fertile earth to flourish 

and is happy in cooler temperatures, 

hence this vegetable is a worthy 

candidate for gardeners all over the 

country to grow. 

This robust and rather durable 

vegetable tastes even better than it 

looks. 

The lush, almost soft-looking green 

leaves are as tough as old boots. 

The contrasting juicy white midrib 

is sweet and packed with flavour. 

Pak choi is a good source of around 

20 nutrients, including the highly 

sought after omega-3s, as well as the 

antioxidant mineral zinc. 

Pak choi is versatile in the kitchen, 

too. Some enjoy it added to smoothies 

and energy drinks as it’s a good 

source of both vitamins A and C. 

Try it raw, shredded into rice paper 

rolls with a piquant dipping sauce 

laced with soy, ginger and sesame. 

Stir-fry with other Asian greens or 

lightly sautéed in butter on its own, 

and few will push this sweet and juicy 

vegetable to the side of the plate. 

Grilled on the barbecue it 

complements meat dishes and, with 

a rather robust texture, it doesn’t 

disintegrate on the hot plate like 

other leafy greens, such as spinach 

and silver beet. 

Growing tips 

If you want something for a pot 

or a tub, this has to be at the top of 

the list. Pak choi has a very shallow 

root system, which makes it ideal for 

planting under other plants. 

Three plants can easily grow in a 

small pot. If you jam a few more in, 

harvest the smaller ones when they 

are a little smaller and leave the rest 

to fatten up to be chunky monkeys. 

In the garden, blend in rich compost 

TASTY: Pak choi or bak 

choy grows happily in 

cooler temperatures. 

or a few handfuls of sheep pellets 

before planting. The more organic 

matter you get into the soil, the faster 

the crop will grow. If you have plenty 

of room, plant them trowel-distance 

apart. Full sun will give you the best 

results, although they do cope with a 

little shade. Their main requirement 

is watering at least twice a week, once 

plants are established. 

Seeds germinate within a week or 

so and online catalogues have a great 

range. Sometimes seeds appear in 

Asian supermarkets, and you will 

find some slightly different varieties 

in these shops. Seed can be sown 

directly into the ground or into 

trays; they quickly germinate if soil is 

moist, but not boggy. 

Seedlings are in the shops all year 

round. Plant six to 10 plants once a

Eftpos, credit cards and most

month, or more if you have plenty of 

mouths to feed. Slug and snails like to 

hunt them down, so lay plenty of bait 

to keep them away. To harvest use a 

sharp knife and cut off just above soil 

level, cook or use as soon as possible. 

While it will store okay in the fridge 

for a day or two, it’s at its best when 

used straight away. 

You can leave the stem and root in 

the ground, more shoots will appear 

and these are edible, too. They won’t 

get as big as the initial plant, but they 

do taste pretty similar. 

Delicious stir-fried, steamed 

by themselves or added to other 

vegetables or meat, stalks are best 

picked immediately after flowering 

starts. Leave three or four young leaves 

on the plant and successive stalks will 

then grow from the main stalk. 

Pak choi doesn’t need a 

lot of root room, making 

it a great option for 

planters. 

For those keen on 

colour contrast, try 

a red variety such as 

‘Red Choi’. 

Slugs, snails and 

caterpillars love this 

juicy green too, so take 

precautionary action.




Farewell – I’m heading to the dark side 

I NEED to tell you something: 

This column will be my last. 

By the time you read this, I 

will be packing up my desk, assembling 

my various pink pens 

and saying my goodbyes. 

I’ve got a new job on “the dark 

side” (journo-speak for PR). I’m 

off to be a marketing and communications 

manager at a small 

Christchurch-based company 

called OneLaw, which creates 

software for law firms. 

They’re awesome. 

But before I leave, editor Barry 

Clarke has given me full permission 

to give an insider’s look on 

what the newsroom is like: “No 

holds barred,” he said. 

Brilliant. 

So for those interested in our 

how our newsroom works, which 

covers The Star, CTV, our six 

weekly community papers and 

soon to be digital platform, here 

goes. 

In media, you never know 

what each day will bring. 

There are stressful deadlines 

and a huge range of subjects to 

report on, from major incidents 

to grass roots community things. 

We try to keep people accountable, 

and ask the right questions 

. . . and not to do anything really 

embarrassing: Like the time I 

first met mayor Lianne Dalziel. 

I didn’t realise I had marked 

my white shirt with lots of ink 

scribbles. 

No matter what happens, I can 

always count on my newsroom 

workmates to be there – to discuss 

the merits of semi-colons, 

judge people on their coffee 

choices and laugh (either with 

me or at me, depending on the 

day). 

I’d like to introduce you to the 

whanau. Firstly, there’s communities’ 

editor Shelley. We nabbed 

her back from The Press last year 

(she was ours first). 

We’ve all got titles within our 

crazy newsroom “family.” 

Myself and my neighbouring 

Emma-Jane McLennan 

desk-mate, Gabrielle, are the 

bossy older sisters. 

We do not like to disappoint. 

We deliver on our titles. 

There’s 19-year-old Fraser, our 

“little brother,” who we tease 

relentlessly, just because it’s fun. 

His headphones and highlighters 

were once stolen by a 

co-worker (who shall remain 

unnamed) and hidden in a gumboot 

for weeks. We forgot they 

were there. Oops. 

NEWSROOM:

Daniels. 

When you’re short of a laugh, 

there’s always aunty Bridget, aka 

“Queen B” who tells it like it is. 

Once, upon hearing a prominent 

city leader was spending ratepayer 

dollars on merlot and duck 

rice paper rolls, she came out 

with this little beauty: “Is that 

what he eats? That sounds de- 

LIGHT-ful. I would like to dine 

with him.” 

We’ve got four gingers 

(I tell you, they’re taking 

over the world) a photographer 

who laughs at our antics from 

the corner, and Tom – a 

quiet guy who surprised us 

all one day when he jokingly 

threw a pen at a colleague 

and yelled “WORK HARDER!” 

There’s Princess Chelsea, who 

has an impressive stash of high 

heels lurking under her desk, 

and news presenter Jared, who 

split two pairs of pants while on 

the job. He was dancing to Rick 

Astley, apparently. 

There’s Tania, who I’m insanely 

jealous of (she once got 

to drive a tank for a TV story), 

and Ross, who is basically old 

enough (and lovely enough) to be 

the whole newsroom’s grandpa. 

The only thing I have against the 

man is his unnecessary hatred 

for bananas: “They’re poisonous,” 

he insists. 

And of course, there is Barry 

Clarke, editor-in-chief and the 

boss of bad puns. His skills include 

sneezes so loud they should 

be measured on a richter scale, 

good yarns and masterminding 

newsroom evacuations so we can 

escape early after a busy day for a 

well-earned r and r. 

He’s also notoriously evasive 

about his age. We believe he’s 

45-ish. 

No holds barred, Barry … 

But seriously, I have a lot of respect 

for this team and what they 

do, and will continue to watch 

and read about their endeavours 

like a proud mumma. I’m going 

to miss telling your stories too. 

Stay cool, Christchurch. It’s 

been real.

Theatre/Arts 

Breathing new life into old favourite 


ON STAGE: The Showbiz cast and crew of Hairspray brought plenty of colour and fun to the 

show, from lively performances to quirky sets. 

WHEN A story is as well-known 

as Hairspray, changing it up 

can’t be easy – but Showbiz has 

brought the show to life. 

Set in 1960s Baltimore, the 

show tells the story of teenager 

Tracy Turnblad, played by Lucy 

Porter. It follows her teen crush 

and dreams of performing on 

The Corny Collins Show, while 

weaving in the underlying 

stories of racial segregation and 

the disconnect between generations. 

The show was fast-paced and 

flowed smoothly, as you’d expect 

from a musical which has won so 

many awards around the world. 

There were strong performances 

from many of the cast, 

with powerful vocals one minute, 

and very funny antics the 

next. 

For a show about teenagers, 

it was many of the parents who 

stole the stage. They included a 

sometimes funny, sometimes 

touching performance by 

Warwick Shillito as Amber’s 

Father Wilbur; Rebecca Boyce 

bringing plenty of drama to her 

role as the villain, Velma Von 

Tussle; Lou Days as the powerful 

Motormouth Maybelle; and 

of course Antony Saywell, who 

cross-dressed as Tracy’s mother, 

Edna. 

Special mention has to be 

made of Ailis Oliver-Kirby as 

Tracy’s best friend Penny Singleton, 

who brought enormous 

energy and was laugh-out-loud 

funny in several scenes, and 

Shea Kokaua as Seaweed, who 

managed to perfect Elvis-style 

stares while mastering his dance 

moves. 

But it’s the chorus that stole 

many of the scenes. Their singing, 

dancing, and background 

antics gave the show its energy 

and sense of fun, while background 

characters, from overbearing 

teachers to the awkward 

Mr Spritzer, managed to shine 

even in brief appearances onstage. 

Considering how many of the 

cast are new to Showbiz, they 

came together in a masterful 

way. 

The sets were colourful and 

fun and completed the retro 

sixties vibe – standouts included 

the simple, angular and quirky 

jailhouse, and the joke shop set 

with its marble-run style door 

contraption. 

Lighthearted, optimistic, and 

a lot of fun, once you’ve stepped 

into the colourful Hairspray 

world you won’t want to leave. 

International

Love thy neighbour 

How much 

sleep does 

your child need? 

EVER WONDERED how much 

sleep your youngsters really need? 

The American Academy of 

Sleep Medicine has released 

guidelines on the optimal amount 

of shut-eye from four months old 

to adulthood. 

Unsurprisingly, babies came in 

at the top of the list for the most 

sleep required, with tots needing 

16 hours. 

Experts said a good night’s rest 

is just as important for children as 

healthy eating and exercise. 

Studies have shown children 

who don’t get enough sleep are at 

a greater risk of obesity when they 

get older. 

Insufficient sleep can also 

increase the risk of diabetes, accidents 

and depression. 

Sleep experts worked with 

the American Academy of 

Pediatrics to develop these 

recommendations: 

• 12 to 16 hours for infants 

aged 4-12 months, babies 

younger than four months 

were not included as they 

have a wide range of normal 

sleep patterns. 

• 11 to 14 hours for children 

aged 1-2 years. 





• 8 to 10 hours for teens aged 

13-18 years. 

WITH BOTH mine and my 

hubby’s family now living 

outside of Christchurch, we 

strongly value the friendships 

we’ve created with the 

neighbours in our community. 

Since our eldest girl started 

school almost two years ago, 

we have made some great connections 

with families in the 

street and it’s been a godsend 

to know other mums who I 

can call on, whether it be the 

need for someone to collect my 

big girls from school; or those 

who drop in after school for an 

impromptu playdate; or those 

who are happy for an easy fish 

’n’ chip dinner (and wine) come 

Friday night. 

And as we live up a long 

driveway, we are surrounded 

by houses that back off our 

relatively busy road. This has 

been an amazing asset to us, as 

not only have our girls created 

lovely friendships with the 

children next door, they can 

swarm between the houses and 

we know they are safe from road 

traffic. 

We have an especially great 

relationship with our neighbour, 

June, who has taken on the role 

of our surrogate grandmother, 

supporter and friend. 

My two-year-old twin daughters 

absolutely adore June and 

her wee dog, and are often at 

the fence calling out for a play. 

When we head over to catch up 

on the latest goings on in both 

our busy lives, the twins jump 

into her lap, give her a cuddle 

and then explore her house in 

search of the mountains of toys 

that she has thoughtfully kept 

for her own great-grand children, 

as well as little ones in the 

neighbourhood. 

As our girls don’t have a 

regular grand-parental influence 

in their daily lives, it’s a 

Melissa McDonnell 

privilege to have been able to 

find a “grandmother” in June. 

This relationship has meant they 

have been able to experience 

that special inter-generational 

bond on a regular basis, and to 

have a role model other than 

their parents to love and respect. 

And the pure love they have 

for June (and she for them) is 

beautiful to see. 

I value the fact we live in an 


SITCOM: A 

scene from 

British sitcom 

Love Thy 

Neighbour . . . 

good neighbours 

are great. 

area where we know many of 

our neighbours, and most people 

are open and happy to chat. 

The 2011 earthquakes paid 

testament to that, in that the 

strength of our neighbourhood 

came to the fore as everyone 

congregated for support to ensure 

everyone was safe and okay. 

I believe the old adage which 

says it takes a village to raise a 

child, and I know my children 

have benefited from having the 

influence and support of the village 

around us. We are lucky to 

live in such a warm community 

and are grateful to know that 

our girls are part of something 

truly special.



Fashion 

Artistic flair drives couple’s passion for fashion 


IT ALL started with painting 

skateboards. 

That is how Indigo Greenlaw 

and partner Wills Rowe started 

their fashion and design business, 

The Paper Rain Project, 

which has just opened its very 

first store at The Tannery. 

It is all about sustainability 

and showcasing some of the best 

local and international artists in 

a tangible way, Miss Greenlaw 

said. 

“Everything is limited edition 

or one-of-a-kind, handcrafted 

and ethically-made. We are 

really passionate about creating 

a space for high-quality goods 

with a bit of a difference.” 

Miss Greenlaw was studying 

graphic design at Canterbury 

University when she started 

painting skateboards as a hobby. 

She said her degree was taking 

her down a very “corporatised” 

view of graphic design, but it 

wasn’t until she met Mr Rowe, an 

arborist, that she got the courage 

to quit university and follow her 

dream of becoming an artist. 

“When Wills came along he 

encouraged me to go ahead, start 

my own business. He said, ‘I’ll do 

ARTY COUPLE: Indigo Greenlaw and Wills Rowe with some 

of The Paper Rain Project’s handpainted wine barrel boards. 

it with you’.” 

The couple went out on their 

own three years ago, launching 

The Paper Rain Project online. 

While the business was being 

set up, Miss Greenlaw worked 

in hospitality and Mr Rowe, as 

an arborist. In spare moments, 

she painted skateboards and he 

etched wine barrel boards for 

wall art. They started screen 

printing fair trade Freeset 

t-shirts with designs from contributing 

artists, hailing from all 

corners of the globe. 

“We initially did a lot of 

research and contacted a lot of 

artists, now some artists are contacting 

us. We’re working with 

a French designer, a 19-year-old 

student from Portugal, many 

talented artists from Nelson and 

around New Zealand,” Miss 

Greenlaw said. 

Fair trade, artisan leather 

goods from The Loyal Workshop 

and Xavier Napoleon have been 

added to the wares, as well as 

premium peanut butter, coffee 

and chocolate. All art items are 

sold on commission. 

The business has been a labour 

of love, a “real passion project”. 

Miss Greenlaw said: “We’ve been 

going for three years now and we 

only started to take a small wage 

at the end of last year.” 

But the real work began when 

they decided to open their very 

first store, at The Tannery. 

First they approached two 

of Miss Greenlaw’s former 

university classmates, Hannah 

Batty and Darelle Knight, screen 

printing and sculpture majors 

respectively. 

They wanted artists who really 

knew the products in store. 

The two jumped on board. The 

ensuing months were “incredibly 

busy” in the lead-up to opening 

on May 23, Miss Greenlaw said. 

“We have literally worked all 

WEARABLE ART: T-shirt 

designs from the Paper Rain 

Project are modelled by 

Tatiana Märtzová, Sina Leo, 

Matthew Hellriegel, Ben Sarten 

and Indigo Greenlaw 

night before.” 

The formula seems to be a hit. 

The store has been successful 

so far, they’re getting orders from 

all over the world, and the artist 

couple-turned-business-partners’ 

next plan is to get married, 

Miss Greenlaw said. 

“Owning a business together is 

testing for a relationship, but we 

wouldn’t have it any other way. 

We are both equally passionate 

about this.”

Taste 

Motivated by 

Ever wondered who is cooking your food when you go out to a cafe or 

restaurant? The Star continues its series talking with chefs. 

Continental executive chef – Simo Abbari 


SIMO ABBARI lost each 

of his three businesses 

in the earthquakes – a 

cooking school and two 

restaurants. 

“I lost the first one, 

and I thought, oh well. 

Then I lost Cashel St, 

and I thought, ok, I can 

still go on. Then I lost 

the third. One, two, 

three, from hero to 

zero,” he said. 

He said he thought 

about leaving the city at 

that point. 

“You wake up in the 

morning with no income, 

with nine people 

working for you, chasing 

after insurance companies. 

But I thought, 

we built it once, we can 

build it again. 

“I didn’t pack my suitcase, 

because I thought 

look at what they have 

given you, shame on you 

if you leave at the time 

when they need you.” 

He was already familiar 

with starting from 

nothing. 

He was brought up in 

Morocco, and worked 

his way up through 

kitchens across the 

world, from restaurants 

in Africa to Yugoslavia, 

doing everything from 

working in cargo ship kitchens to creating 

airline menus. 

By the time he moved to New Zealand in 

1994, he had more than a decade of experience 

as a chef and in management but, 

once again, he found he had to start from 

the bottom. 

“As an immigrant it doesn’t matter about 

your experience, you start from zero. It was 

hard as a foreigner, because you have to 

work twice as hard to prove yourself.” 

He entered a culinary competition the 

EXPERIENCE: Although Simo Abbari lost his three 

businesses in the earthquakes, he said his experiences 

as an immigrant learning to adapt and start from the 

bottom helped him get back on his feet. 


year after he arrived, and finished second 

to last. 

“But I realised the food was not the problem, 

it was the presentation. The other 12 

candidates had all cooked the same food, 

and presented it the same way. Back home 

the taste was everything, it didn’t matter if 

it was plated in gold.” 

The next year he entered again, and came 

first. “You start learning to adapt,” he said. 

He said the willingness of New Zealanders 

to try different foods was something he 

loved.

great food 

“It’s what makes New 

Zealand cuisine special, 

it belongs to everyone. In 

New Zealand, you go to the 

supermarket and there are 

special items and all kinds 

of food on the shelves.” 

In 2002, he opened his 

first Moroccan restaurant. 

“It was my way of saying 

thank you to the community. 

But I realised I had just 

stabbed myself in the head 

by having a business. Work 

for 16 hours a day became 

24 hours a day.” 

But, in spite of the long 

hours, he said the restaurant 

was a huge success, 

and was named Outstanding 

South Island Restaurant 

of the Year in 2004. 

Losing it was a big blow, 

but he worked his way back, 

opening Mosaic by Simo’s 

in Addington, launching 

his Simo’s line of bottled 

zest and marinades, teaching 

classes, and last year 

starting in his role as Continental 

executive chef. 

The role means he is 

responsible for all the 

Continental menus, from 

Maddison’s Restaurant at 

the Heritage Christchurch 

Hotel, to the tram and 

gondola restaurants, to the 

ALFF – Allergy Free Foods. 

That meant he spent 

more time managing and 

problem solving than he 

did as a chef, although he 

still regularly cooked at the 

Maddison’s Dine with Simo 

evenings and taught classes. 

He met his wife at the 

classes, who he said was 

also incredibly passionate 

about food. 

“I had never seen anyone 

with more cook books than 

me, until I met my wife,” 

he said. 

“I’m not allowed in the 

kitchen at home, because 

she doesn’t like me to criticise. 

But I am so fortunate, 

because my wife is an 

amazing cook. My table is 

always full of the best kind 

of food.” 

He wanted to see more 

emphasis on service in 

Christchurch restaurants, 

and hoped the trend toward 

natural and local food 

would grow. 

“We need to think differently, 

and eat real food, not 

food which is frozen and 

full of chemicals. We used 

to have many local butchers, 

but now they are nearly 

all gone.” 

He said serving great 

food and inspiring people 

to create their own was 

what motivated him. 

“I feel this is a responsibility, 

I don’t see it as a job. 

We wake up every morning 

and say how can we share 

and make people feel 

special, even in this broken 

city.”

“A local team for local people”




CTV celebrates 25 years 

It may seem hard 

to believe but 

Christchurch-based 

television station, CTV, 

is getting set to blow 

out 25 candles this 

week, to accompany 

the quarter of a century 

milestone. CTV News 

presenter Jared 

McCulloch reflects on 

the channel’s history 

CTV IS celebrating 25 years of 

broadcasting, making the station 

the longest-running regional 

broadcaster. 

The first broadcast was beamed 

from TVNZ’s former Gloucester St 

studios right here in Christchurch. 

National broadcasting operations 

were beginning to move north, 

leaving an empty studio ready for 

something new – something more. 

A quick history lesson: For 

nearly 30 years, viewers around 

the country had two choices when 

it came to television. 

TV One, launching in 1960 

as four channels in four major 

centres, run by the public-broadcasting 

service of NZBC (which 

became TVNZ in 1980) and later 

South Pacific Television (becoming 

TV2, in 1980) 15 years after 

the launch of the first channel. 

By 1985, applications for a third

television network were opened. 

TV3 winning the warrant in 1987 

– on-air by 1989, it was the first 

privately-owned, free-to-air TV 

station in New Zealand. 

And two years later, along comes 

little ol’ Canterbury Television. 

Sue Wells, sitting at a newlybuilt 

news studio, welcomed viewers 

across the region to tune into 

the new and exciting venture, with 

a clear focus of being local. 

Former CTV newsreader and 

one of the original presenters from 

1991 until 1995, Grant Mangin 

took hold of CTV programme 

First Report. 

Some of the faces from the

and current affairs at TVNZ. 

Plus Jim Hopkins, Rob Cope- 

Williams, David Di Somma, 

Raewyn Rasch, Bernadine Oliver- 

Kerby and Maryanne Jackson 

– who still works at CTV, just to 

name a few. 

Some of the first guests included 

MP for Christchurch Central 

Lianne Dalziel, appearing on 

current affairs show George 

Balani, and mayor at the time, 

Vicki Buck. 

Now half a decade on a lot has 

changed – new faces, new premises, 

television switched to digital, 

the channel began streaming online 

24/7 and the news broadcasts 

live every weeknight on Plains FM 

96.9. 

At one stage, CTV had competition 

in the local television 

market, with CHTV and NowTV. 

Long story short, they eventually 

merged into one. 

Of course, the most significant 

event was a tragic one, when 16 

colleagues lost their lives when the 

CTV building collapsed during the 

February, 22, 2011, earthquake 

Those fantastic people will never 

be forgotten. 

Although CTV has changed 

hands over the years, it is now part 

of Star Media, where it continues 

to thrive. 

Here’s to all of past and present 

staff who made CTV what it is 

today, through the thick and thin. 

Happy 25th anniversary 

Canterbury Television! Let the 

adventure continue.

VOLUNTEER WEEK JUNE 19 - 25 

PLuNkET WaS founded over 100 years 

ago by people who wanted to help others 

in their communities. Today, we have 

thousands of kiwis who give of their time, 

knowledge, skills and energy. 

We believe that by working together 

with members of our local communities 

we can provide Plunket services, support 

and the education needed to enable the 

best start in life for every child. 

SPCA volunteers help to save lives 

Each yEar, thousands of lost, sick, injured, abandoned and abused animals find 

themselves in the care of the staff and volunteers at SPca canterbury. They work hard to 

rescue, rehabilitate and rehome as many animals as possible. 

“We would not survive without the vital assistance of our dedicated volunteers and are 

extremely grateful for their support”, says Barry helem, chief Executive Officer for SPca 

canterbury. “It costs over $3 million per annum to help our region’s most vulnerable 

animals and, with no government funding, 

we rely heavily upon the generosity of 

our donors and volunteers to ensure we 

continue this work.” 

The canterbury SPca welcomes 

volunteer support in all areas of their 

organisation including; customer service/ 

administration, animal care, foster support, 

ambulance driver, inspectorate support, 

OpShop assistant, events and fundraising. 

“We have a wide range of volunteer 

roles available and training is provided”, 

says rowena hughey, SPca canterbury 

Volunteer coordinator. “Please consider 

joining our fun and friendly team, your help 

really will save lives!” 

To find out more about volunteering 

for SPca canterbury visit www. 

spcacanterbury.org.nz or phone 03 344 4772. 

Plunket Volunteers are an important 

link in our communities and have a 

vital role in helping us deliver services 

and support to families. Without our 

Volunteers, we would not be able to 

deliver the number of services we do 

throughout New Zealand. 

If you want to help make a difference by 

donating your time for a cause you believe 

in, Plunket is a great place to start. We’re 

always looking for new volunteers. Find 

out how rewarding giving your time and 

efforts can be and become a volunteer. 

When you give the gift of your time, you’ll 

get back as much as you give — maybe 

even more.

a volunteer can be. Go to http://www.

Tuesday Chicks 

TWO chrISTchurch women say their 

roles as mother and grandmother inspires 

their regular volunteer work at ronald 

McDonald house South Island. 

“I think volunteering at ronald 

McDonald house and meeting all the very 

brave families who stay there makes you 

realise how lucky you are,” says volunteer 

and retired administrator Gay Goodman. 

Gay is one half of the ‘Tuesday chicks’, 

who along with retired school secretary 

robyn cumberpatch volunteer their time 

every Tuesday morning at the 26-room 

christchurch facility, which provides 

accommodation for families while their 

children are undergoing hopsital treatment. 

No job around the house is too big or 

small for the ‘Tuesday chicks’ – robyn 

describes their volunteering role as wideranging 

and says they help with housework, 

wrap beautiful presents for families and 

provide support for many fundraising 

events. 

and their handwork does not go 

unnoticed. 

house manager Zucchi Leonard praises 

robyn and Gay’s willingness to get stuck 

into any task at hand. 

“They never shy away from jobs which is 

such a huge help for us, but I think it is their 

warmth and kindness that really resonates 

with the families – we are so lucky to have 

them on the team.” 

Orana Wildlife Park Volunteers 

Incredible People 

Since its inception, Orana Wildlife Park 

has been extremely fortunate to attract 

a wonderful variety of people eager to 

volunteer their skills and time. Volunteers 

are a key part of our operation and primarily 

assist in the area of visitor services (not 

working directly with the animals). We have 

a range of different programmes to suit 

your interests and skills, including Facilities 

Volunteers (maintenance assistants), 

Grounds Volunteers (gardening/grounds 

maintenance) and Visitor Services Volunteers 

(guiding, public presentations). In terms of 

Visitor Services Volunteers, we operate two 

volunteer programmes: assistant Volunteers 

(15-17 years) and Senior Volunteers (18 and 

over). 

Operate our popular ‘Safari Shuttle’ service 

for visitors, providing transportation and a 

quality commentary about the Park’s animals. 

Lead ‘Walkabout Tours’ that follow the 

Park’s daily animal feed schedule and give 

visitors a chance to see the animals up 

close and personal, whilst also having the 

opportunity to ask questions and learn more 

about the world’s rare creatures. 

Gardening on our grounds. 

Sell raffle tickets and paint faces (proceeds 

ronald McDonald house South Island 

could not operate without the help of 

volunteers like robyn and Gay who 

generously donate their time and services, 

says Zucchi. 

In 2015 volunteer hours totalled 14,693, 

the equivalent of around seven full time 

staff – highlighting the vital role that 

volunteers play in the running of the house. 

Though in return for their hardwork, 

robyn says she and Gay find their Tuesday 

mornings at the house both fun and 

fulfilling. 

“I look forward to coming to the house 

every Tuesday, catching up with the staff 

and helping out where I can – it is such a 

meaningful and rewarding thing to do.” 

go back into the Volunteer Programme). 

assistant Volunteers assist our Senior 

Volunteers but some may be trained to help 

in our Farmyard. 

Full training is provided. Once trained, we 

require volunteers to work a minimum of 

two days per month. Once trained, a uniform 

is provided and rewards are issued when 

milestone hours are completed.

Sport 

Warriors ring the changes for Roosters clash 

WARRIORS winger Ken Maumalo 

will start his first NRL game of 

the year against the Roosters 

this weekend, after consistent 

performances for the club’s reserve 

grade side. 

That’s the major talking point 

of the team named for Sunday’s 

match, which also sees fellow 

youngster Toafofoa Sipley in line 

for his second first grade appearance. 

The 21-year-old Maumalo has 

been biding his time, as coach Andrew 

McFadden has consistently 

preferred other options as back 

up to Manu Vatuvei. But Maumalo 

finally gets his chance to impress 

this season with Vatuvei expected 

to be out for up to a month after 

a hamstring strain suffered in the 

50-14 win over the Knights. 

It’s a well-earned opportunity. 

Maumalo has scored nine tries 

in 10 Intrust Super Premiership 

matches this year, as the Stacey 

Jones-coached team has stormed 

to the top of the ladder. It’s also 

quite a turnaround; a few weeks 

ago Maumalo was believed to be 

close to agreeing terms with the 

Dragons, before the Warriors took 

up an option on him for the 2017 

season. 

His selection might also be 

evidence of a changed approach. 

Up until now McFadden has opted 

for the likes of Jonathan Wright or 

Matthew Allwood, principally seen 

as solid players who will defend 

well. Maumalo has been working 

on his defence since the start of the 

season, but brings much more on 

attack. In the absence of Vatuvei, 

the 1.91m, 105kg Maumalo will 

offer metres and momentum, particularly 

when the Warriors bring 

the ball out of their own territory. 

Maumalo made his NRL debut 

in round 10 last year, making a 

total of eight appearances for the 

first grade side. He impressed in 

his early outings, only to struggle 

later during the team’s long losing 

streak. 

Fellow youngster Sipley made 

some eye catching charges in the 

round nine win over the Dragons 

and, like Maumalo, has undoubted 

potential. 

“They’re massive units and Ken 

and [Toafofoa] certainly bring 

lots of enthusiasm, not to mention 

size,” said assistant coach Justin 

Morgan.

Shirley looking for repeat win 

• By Gordon Findlater 

SHIRLEY BOYS’ High School 

will be looking for a repeat of 

last year’s encounter with St 

Andrew’s College when the two 

sides meet on Saturday. 

Shirley defeated STAC 21-0 at 

home last year. 

Both sides made the top four 

of last year’s UC Championship 

and are looking strong chances 

to do the same in 2016. 

After letting the standard slip 

in recent years, Shirley Boys’ 

coach John Fox knows last year’s 

grand final appearance was crucial 

in returning the school to 

the summit of secondary school 

rugby. 

“It was great to be back there. 

Those first few years of the 

competition we were there, then 

lingering at the bottom wasn’t 

nice,” said Fox 

To date, Shirley has proven last 

year’s final appearance wasn’t 

just a one off. Fox puts the bright 

start in 2016 down to retaining 

a dozen players from last year’s 

squad. Senior players such as 

Josh Archer and Logan Bell both 

took a step forward in performance 

and leadership. 

STAC and Shirley were unbeaten 

until recently. Ironically 

both suffered their first and only 

MAKING A BREAK: Shirley Boys’ High in action during their 

recent inter-school match with Dunedin’s King’s High School. 

defeats of the year at the hands 

of Timaru Boys’ High School. 

“It’s never easy going down to 

Timaru. We were disappointed 

with the performance, though. 

We fell asleep in the first 20 

minutes, but still had enough 

chances in the game.” 

Shirley’s loss to Timaru has 

nothing on the disappointment 

St Andrew’s will be feeling. 

In an upset, St Andrew’s lost 

the Moascar Cup to Timaru – 

their oldest inter-school rival – 

11-14 on Tuesday. 

STAC had claimed the Moascar 

Cup – school boy rugby’s 

equivalent of the Ranfurly 

Shield – last September when 

they defeated Wellington’s Scots 

College.

saw the silverware, which dates 

back to World War 1, spend 

almost nine months at STAC 

before this week’s defeat. 

The chance to end 2016 with 

the cup in their possession may 

not be over. 

Nelson College will challenge 

Timaru for the Moascar Cup on 

Saturday. 

If they are successful in taking 

the cup to Nelson, then their 

first defence would be against St 

Andrew’s a week later. 

Shirley coach John Fox is gutted 

they won’t have the chance 

to play for the cup at St Andrew’s 

this weekend. However, 

he knows all may not be lost. 

This weekend’s game between 

St Andrew’s and Shirley will 

screen live on CTV. 

Kick-off is at 2.45pm.

In Brief 

DARTS CHALLENGE 

New Brighton Club darts 

player Bernie Smith will get a 

once in a lifetime opportunity 

tomorrow night, taking on 

one of the world’s top eight 

darts players. Smith qualified 

for this weekend’s Auckland 

Darts Masters on Monday 

night, nabbing the Australasian 

qualifying spot. A capacity 

crowd of over 4000 is expected 

for Friday’s opening night of 

the event, which is broadcast 

around the globe, as part of the 

Professional Darts Corporation 

World Series of Darts. Smith 

will also represent New Zealand 

tonight when a four man team 

takes on Australia for the

riven 

Fortuner boosts 

Toyota’s SUV range 

• By Ross Kiddie 

THERE’S NO shortage of 

sport utility vehicles in the 

Toyota stable. 

However, what Toyota 

New Zealand do very well 

is plug gaps and it has vehicles 

to suit every budget 

and purpose. 

Recently, Toyota 

launched a newcomer to its 

line-up – the Fortuner. It 

is a large, seven-seat, sport 

utility vehicle which sits 

alongside the Highlander 

and the Land Cruiser 

series for buyers who just 

can’t step up to Prado or 

who don’t want the petrolfuelled 

Highlander. 

The Fortuner is a dieselpowered 

model only, it is 

the new-generation engine 

which sits in Prado and 

Hilux, and there are many 

other similarities to Hilux 

as well, the Fortuner sits 

on the chassis and underpinnings 

which has made 

Hilux so successful as a 

light commercial ute. 

That concept isn’t new in 

SUV manufacture – Ford’s 

Everest utilises the Ranger 

platform, and Holden’s 

Colorado7 is an extension 

of the Colorado ute. 

However, there is one significant 

difference between 

the Fortuner’s suspension 

and that of the Hilux, 

while both have a live rear 

axle, the Fortuner has coil 

springs as opposed to a 

leaf spring set-up which is 

common practice with this 

type of SUV. 

Elsewhere, the Fortuner 

doesn’t rely heavily on the 

appeal of Hilux. Yes, the 

doors and bonnet are the 

same, but the Fortuner has 

styling cues less aggressive 

and more akin to what 

you would find in a family 

station wagon. I really like 

the shape of Fortuner, it is 

classy and curvy, disguising 

well its relationship to 

Hilux. 

The Fortuner lands here 

in three grades. The entrylevel 

GX model lands at 

$70,990 and is a manual 

gearbox model, automatic 

transmission on GX adds 

$2000. The test car was the 

GXL automatic at $75,990, 

while a Limited sits at 

$78,990. 

As an aside, at the media 

launch for the Fortuner I 

spent a lot of time in the 

manual, and it would certainly 

be my pick. 

Each is equipped well 

for its price, the test car 

boasted satellite navigation, 

paddle-shift gear selectors, 

powered tailgate, nice 

TOYOTA FORTUNER: Capable off-road. 

wood and leather steering 

wheel, cruise control, and 

reversing camera. 

As mentioned, the 

Fortuner gets Toyota’s 

new-generation 2.8-litre, 

four-cylinder diesel engine. 

It is a stunner in terms of 

refinement and mechanical 

ability, it pumps out a 

beefy 130kW and 450Nm 

while capable of returning 

a 8.6l/100km (33mpg) 

combined cycle fuel usage 

average. 

• Price – Toyota Fortuna, 

$75,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4795mm; width, 

1855mm; height, 

1835mm 

• Configuration: Fourcylinder, 

four-wheeldrive, 

2755cc, 130kW, 

450Nm, six-speed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 12.8sec 

• Fuel usage – 8.6l/100km 

During my time with 

the test car the trip computer 

was constantly sitting 

around 10l/100km (28mpg) 

with 8l/100km (35mpg) 

listing instantaneously at 

100km/h (engine speed 

1800rpm). 

The Fortuner is also quite 

quick, bearing in mind that 

at around 2.1-tonne it is a 

bit tubby, it will launch to 

100km/h from a standstill 

in around 12sec, and will 

cut out a highway overtake 

in 6.5sec (80km/h- 

120km/h). 

The engine responds 

willingly to throttle pressure 

and works smoothly 

under pressure. That’s 

something I’ve commented 

on every time 

I’ve experienced the new 

engine, it has refinement 

uncharacteristic for a big 

four-pot diesel. Power is 

harnessed gently through 

a six-speed automatic; the 

gearbox is also reasonably 

new for Toyota, well it’s 

certainly new for Hilux, 

and Fortuner gets the benefit 

of the low and close 

ratios, immediate acceleration 

is forceful, while the 

ratios broaden to provide 

the lethargy for open road 

cruising. Bearing in mind 

that Fortuner is aimed at 

families who will want to 

drive long distances on the 

open road, fuel economy 

is an important ingredient 

of that. 

Yet, the Fortuner is 

also the capable off-road 

charger. Its four-wheeldrive 

system is engineered 

for rough conditions, it can 

most certainly be described 

as a serious off-roader. It 

has ground clearance of a 

healthy 279mm, and the 

driveline has a low ratio 

transfer case so that slow 

speed momentum can be 

initiated for when obstacles 

are presented. 

I took the test car on a 

piece of dirt that encompassed 

several mounds 

and descents, I can report 

it has suspension which 

absorbs the rough stuff, 

providing the occupants 

with a well-cushioned ride 

in those conditions. Grip 

is well enhanced through 

the drive mechanism and 

grippy Bridgestone Dueler 

tyres (265/65 x 17in). 

As well as the Fortuner is 

engineered for life off-road, 

it is still the easy-to-drive 

city slicker. Sure, at 4.8m 

there is a lot of vehicle 

to get into a metered car 

park, but it has adequate 

manoeuvrability considering 

its size, and good visibility. 

As an organisation, 

Toyota isn’t shy about 

introducing vehicles for 

an intended audience. The 

Fortuner fits into the vast 

model line-up perfectly, 

and will be joined in other 

models soon which will 

expand the SUV market 

even further. 

The Fortuner is there for 

those who understand the 

ability of Hilux yet need 

something just a little more 

family-friendly.
