HOSPITAL CAR
PARKING CRISIS
PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS
Could Hagley Park be the solution?
• By Gabrielle Stuart
THE SOLUTION to Christchurch
Hospital’s car parking crisis could be
Hagley Park.
The Star has learned, turning an area
of Hospital Corner across the road from
the hospital is a possibility and has been
discussed informally by the Canterbury
District Health Board.
The parking situation at the hospital
is in chaos, brought on by the central
city rebuild and ongoing road works
which take more off-street parking.
Health board member Jo Kane
said more parking was urgently
needed. Hagley Park was an ideal
location.
She said the health board had
discussed it informally but had not
taken it further.
“The only issue was it would leave us
with nowhere to land the rescue helicopters,”
she said.
The CDHB has set aside land on
Antigua St for a parking building, but it
cannot be cleared until hospital services
there can be moved to new buildings.
That is set to take about three years.
CDHB chief executive David Meates
said parking at Hagley Park had been
discussed but was “not an option” being
formally considered. He would not give
his view on the idea.
A Development Christchurch report
in January found up to 2000 extra car
parks would be needed long-term,
and closer to 3000 during the hospital
rebuild.

IT’S A no-brainer to use Hagley
Park for temporary car parking
to alleviate the massive issues at
Christchurch Hospital.
Why the powers that be
haven’t put that into action is
surprising.
On page 1 today, we canvass
those for and against the idea,
and surprisingly Hands Off
Hagley – the group that tried
to stop the cricket stadium –
supports the idea.
Finding a car park if
you’re visiting the hospital is
diabolical, and it is going to get
worse as the rebuild picks up
more pace.
So it seems totally logical
to tarseal a reasonable area
of Hagley Park’s Hospital
Corner, put in, say, 120min
parks for people visiting the
hospital and parking for
hospital staff.
When the parking buildings
are finished in the area, the
tarseal can be ripped up and
the park replanted with grass
and restored to its former
glory.
Pretty simple in my view.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST
This week in history saw widespread jubilation
throughout the city on May 8, 1945, to celebrate
victory in Europe. On the same day in 1987, Sir Neil
Isaac, founder of Peacock Springs Conservation
Park, dies. On May 9, 1915, Christchurch tennis
star and four time Wimbledon champion Captain
A. F. Wilding was killed in action in Belgium. On
May 10, 1975, Vicki Buck, 19, became the city’s
(and New Zealand’s) youngest ever city councillor.
On May 13-15, 1920, the Prince of Wales, (later
King Edward VIII, visited the city. On May 14-15,
1886, floods inundated the city centre. On May
14, 1868, the Lyttelton Times first published a daily
evening newspaper, The Star.

HAT IN HOT DEMAND
A giant floral hat created by a
Christchurch designer is set to
be worn at a Buckingham Palace
garden party this month. The
White Rose of York hat was one of
15 floral creations by Jenny Gillies
being exhibited in the United
Kingdom, where it was seen by
the wife of the chairman of North

Council, who “fell in love with it”
and asked permission to wear it at the palace garden party.

Weet-Bix
kids meet
All Blacks
heroes
• By Bridget Rutherford
ALL BLACKS Israel Dagg and
Ryan Crotty were asked the
hard-hitting questions yesterday
by some of their toughest critics
– Christchurch kids.
How many Weet-Bix can they
eat? Who is the smelliest All
Black? And who is the worst
room mate?
The kids from several schools
asked the questions when they
met the pair as part of Dare
to Dream, a new campaign
to inspire kids to follow their
dreams.
Apparently Dagg can handle
six to eight Weet-Bix and no one
wants to bunk with frontrower
Wyatt Crockett because he’s a
chronic snorer.
Dagg and Crotty’s stories are
two of 15 that feature on the
back of All Blacks Collector
Cards in Weet-Bix boxes, which
are now on sale.
Dagg said growing up in the
Hawkes Bay he made the most of
what he had, and used his
sister’s fluffy slipper as a rugby
ball.
“I used to have some posts,
which was the power pole and
the corner of the fence, and I
used to just kick it through that
all day.”
INSPIRING: New Brighton
Catholic School pupils were
excited to meet All Blacks

He wanted to inspire kids
and show them anything was
possible. Crotty was given a
pair of Andrew Mehrtens’
rugby socks and kicking tee
while he was a ball boy for the
Canterbury NPC team as a kid.
“It’s fair to say I wore those
socks for every training session
for the next five to 10 years, they
were pretty special to me.”
He said they inspired him, and
he hoped to do the same.

In Brief
QUAIL ISLAND
ACCOMMODATION
A building on Lyttelton Harbour’s
Quail Island will be transformed
into a hut for visitors to stay
overnight in. Department of
Conservation Christchurch
operations manager Andy
Thompson said the caretakers
cottage would be turned into
a hut, which would provide
either nine or 12 beds. The
interpretation centre, which was
in the cottage, would move to
the barracks building. He said
the work to convert the building
would be done over winter so it
could be ready for use in summer,
when people could book a bed.
RIVERBANK CLEAN-UP
On Saturday, hundreds of
volunteers will don their
gumboots to pick up rubbish
littering the estuary, Heathcote
and Avon riverbanks for the
annual Mother of All Clean Ups.
Fifty-six sites around the city will
be cleaned up. It will run from
10am-noon. Last year’s event
cleared more than 20 tonnes
of rubbish, and organisers are
hoping to do even better this time
around. To register visit

PARTNERS
Spark and the city council will
work together on the city’s new
Knowledge Centre. The centre,
which includes the library, is

Retirement
village fence
dispute resolved
• By Sarla Donovan
A DISPUTED fence in an over-
60s retirement village is to be
moved.
Sanctuary Villas resident Patsy
Clegg had the fence (above) built
six years ago to provide her corner
unit with privacy but neighbours
Kathleen and Glyn Hardy
claimed the fence was illegal and
dangerous.
It borders an access road used
by residents and the Hardys said it
intruded onto common property
and limited the visibility of vehicles
rounding the corner.
Mrs Clegg has agreed to move
the fence back from the road at
her own expense, after being
asked by the Sanctuary Villas
body corporate committee, which
oversees the affairs of residents.
A plan for the alteration was
drawn up and the Hardys have
now agreed to it.
The fence is to be shifted in June.
CAR PARKING CRISIS: A Photoshopped (left) image of what car parking at Hospital Corner could be, and (right) what it is today.
HAVE YOUR SAY: Email gabrielle.stuart@starmedia.kiwi on whether Hagley Park should be used as a temporary car park.
Idea to tackle hospital car parking issues
•From page 1
Using Hagley Park for car
parking is likely to be a contentious
issue.
The Star asked Mayor Lianne
Dalziel what she thought of the
idea.
But she did not answer the
question, saying only it had
not been raised in any formal
discussions with her, and it was
not something she was currently
considering.
Hands Off Hagley, the group
which fought against the cricket
oval in the park, says the idea to
use it for temporary car parking
had merit.
Spokesman Martin Meehan
said he would be open to seeing
it used, so long as it was public
parking, only for a set period of
time, and had strict safeguards
around it.
“The cricket was a permanent
acquisition, whereas this is temporary
and for the greater good.
So I wouldn’t be out there with
placards,” he said.
Part of Hagley Park was used
temporarily for hospital car
parking after the February 22,
2011, earthquake, but that land
is now part of the Hagley Oval
development.
Mr Meehan said the city
council spent $1.2m upgrading
the Hospital Corner sports fields
last year, and he was worried that
would be wasted.
“Logic would say yes, it’s
an ideal spot to use. But for
goodness sake, where was the
planning around parking? This
should never have been allowed
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
to happen,” he said.
A Government Act has strict
rules around how Hagley Park
can be developed, and says the
city council cannot “appropriate”
any part of the park for car parking
without consent from the
Minister of Conservation.
But a spokeswoman for
Minister of Conservation
Maggie Barry said her advice
was that the proposal would be
classed “temporary use,” so it
would not require the minister’s
consent.

Bid to beat roading botch-ups
• By Bridget Rutherford
NO MORE contentious road
layout changes will begin in the
central city until there is general
consensus on the plans.
That is the
message from
city council
transport operations
manager
Aaron
Haymes (left).
He told The
Star the city
council had been listening to
concerns about its central city
An Accessible City projects, and
no more would start until they
had been addressed.
“We need to listen.”
It comes after it was forced to
review its St Asaph St changes
after uproar they made it too narrow,
with poor access to on-street
car parks. The review is ongoing.
The next project was Victoria
St, with work planned aiming to
make it more pedestrian, cyclist
and bus-friendly, he said.
The aim was to start construction
in June, but he said the city
council would meet with all
stakeholders involved to make
sure everyone was happy with it
first.
“The last thing we want to be
PROBLEM: The city council says it will not start another An
Accessible City project until everyone is happy, after uproar

doing is going head to head with
the community.
“It’s really important to us that
people like what we’re doing and
are on board.”
Mr Haymes said there needed
to be give and take, because if
the city council made too many
compromises, the programme
“might not get the benefits that
we think we could get.”
The comments come after the
issue was discussed at a recent
Tuesday Club meeting, organised
by former Mayor Garry
Moore.
At the meeting, developer
Stephen Collins said the city
council and Otakaro needed to
“take a breath” so they could
review all the projects
“We need to make sure we
don’t have another St Asaph St,”
he said.
Mr Collins, who built the
Deloitte building on Cambridge
Tce, said developers had spent $1
billion on central city buildings.
That meant nothing if people
did not go to shop there because
the roading layout was too difficult,
he said.
An Accessible City is an
anchor project that aims to
make the roading network more
compact and people-friendly by
adding cycleways, narrower traffic
lanes, planting, reduced speed
limits and removing on-street
car parks.
Otakaro is delivering four projects,
with the remaining done
by the city council.
An Otakaro spokesman said it
had attended recent stakeholder
meetings with the city council
and would continue to do so,
when they related to its projects.
Mr Haymes said he wanted
to work with contractors before
they started building so it would
not affect the roading network.
He said having both roadworks
and construction on the
same streets, such as Cambridge
Tce, was causing problems.
Surgery’s
new home
in operation
THE 24 Hour Surgery is now
open to patients in its new home.
The new surgery, in Pegasus
House on Madras St, near the
intersection with Bealey Ave, became
operational at 12.01am on
Wednesday, after it was officially
opened by Prime Minister Bill
English on Friday.
It has moved from Bealey
Ave into the larger and more
advanced home.
The not-for-profit surgery
is run by Pegasus Health, and
staffed by Christchurch general
practitioners and contracted
medical officers.
Pegasus House, which was
originally the home of Statistics
New Zealand, now houses all of
Pegasus Health’s operations.
Pegasus Health says the surgery
plays a pivotal role in supporting
general practice and the Canterbury
District Health Board
to provide around the clock
accident and medical care. It sees
about 1600 patients each week.
It is expected the surgery will
help reduce the number of people
going to hospital, which is part of
Pegasus Health and the CDHB’s
strategy.

Thief must declare assets
GUILTY: Kate Leoni will be sentenced at the district court after
stealing $130,000 from Christchurch Ready Mix Concrete Ltd.
• By Kurt Bayer
AN OFFICE worker who
stole $133,000 over a two-year
period from a Christchurch
company involved in the city’s
rebuild has been ordered by
a judge to declare all of her
assets, including any she may
have disposed of, before she is
sentenced next month.
Name suppression lapsed yesterday
for Katrina Leigh Leoni,
42, who worked as a receptionist
and office administrator at
Christchurch Ready Mix Concrete
Ltd at Belfast.
Leoni, known as Kate Leoni of
Swannanoa, North Canterbury,
was responsible for receiving
cash payments from customers
for the well-established locallyowned
company.
She was tasked with receipting
the cash, balancing the relevant
customer’s account and then
placing that cash into a container
in preparation for banking.
She was also required to enter
credit notes against customer
accounts.
But between November 2012
and January 2015 she stole cash
– thousands of dollars at a time
– and put it into her own bank
account.
“To cover up her dishonest actions,
the defendant would then
access the company accounting
system and place a credit note
against the customer’s bill,” a
police summary of facts says.
“The defendant would not
re-charge or re-invoice the
customers for the credits she had
completed. Therefore this had
the effect of the customer’s bill
having been credited [showing
nothing owing]. However, the
company never received the cash
payments.”
She earlier pleaded guilty to
three representative charges of
theft by a person in a special
relationship, amounting to
a total of $133,011.71, at the
district court.
The transactions went unnoticed
by the company for a
long time until an internal audit
uncovered the discrepancies.
A police probe further found
she had deposited several large
amounts of cash into her bank
account and in a number of
cases the amount deposited
matched the amount she stole.
When spoken to by police she
denied any involvement in the
alleged offending.
Yesterday, she was due to be
sentenced before Judge David
Saunders.
However, defence counsel
David Stringer asked for an adjournment
to allow Leoni extra
time to see how much her bank
would lend her on the lifestyle
block she owned with her husband
so that she could pay the
money back.
Stringer said her ability to pay
back money could be the difference
between being sentenced to
jail or home detention.
Crown prosecutor Karyn
South asked for Judge Saunders
to issue a direction to try to
establish her ability to come up
with the money.
Judge Saunders made the order
to establish means and assets
that Leoni has, or has had in her
possession.
“I believe that is appropriate
given you have dishonesty traits
that you have exhibited in the
past,” he said.
He remanded Leoni on bail to
June 8.
Interim name suppression
lapsed yesterday, with the Judge
Saunders saying it was significant
offending and there was no
reason for it to continue.
“Make no mistake, you are
facing the potential of a custodial
sentence given seriousness
of the offending. If you can
make significant reparation, I
will certainly have to take it into
account,” he said. – NZ Herald
Entrepreneur’s
companies
investigated
• By Laura Mills
A YEAR after a Christchurch
entrepreneur’s second mining
company failed on the
West Coast, liquidators are
investigating links between the
two.
Unsecured creditors may be
owed as much as $1.5 million.
Mike McDonald, a former Ernst
and Young entrepreneur of the
year, first appeared on the West
Coast in November 2014, when
his former company MCAM,
briefly based in Hokitika, announced
it expected to spend at
least $88.5 million developing
five open-cast mines targeting
gold and platinum on the West
Coast.
MCAM Ltd then went into liquidation,
as did MCAM Minerals
a year ago.
In their latest report the liquidators
of MCAM Minerals said they
were continuing to “investigate
the books, records and affairs of
the company to identify any actions
that may be available for the
benefit of creditors.”
Mr McDonald was adjudged

Big signs break the rules
• By Gabrielle Stuart
POLITICAL candidates have
been ordered to take down their
election signs, because they are
too big.
Warning letters have been
sent to both National list MP
Nuk Korako and Labour
Christchurch Central candidate
Duncan Webb, ordering them
to take down some signs.
Outside
the election
period,
candidates
have to follow
city council
rules, which
ban any signs
Duncan Webb
taller than
90cm or
wider than
60cm unless they have special
consent.
Bigger signs up to three square
metres are allowed between July
22 and September 22.
Mr Korako, who is running in
the Port Hills electorate, said he
was not aware of the rules until
he was contacted by the city
council.
He said he had no complaints
about his signs last election.
He said he had taken down
some signs, including some
large ones on Dyers Pass Rd, but
had left others up in commercial
areas, where he believed they
did not break the rules.
“The council has got a job to
do, but they’ve been really good
about it, they don’t come down
on you with a hammer,” he said.
There are also rules around
election advertising, which is
only allowed during the election
period.
But he said his billboards were
advertising his office, not asking
for votes, so he believed they did
not break the rules.
Mr Webb also had to take
down several of his signs, because
they were too big.
He said he had seen dozens of
other non-complying signs up
all over the city, but he was told
by a city council worker that the
rules were usually only enforced
if someone complained.
“So it comes down to people
who might not agree with my
politics complaining about my
signs,” he said.
TOO BIG:

Central candidate
Duncan Webb and
National MP Nuk
Korako have been
ordered to take
down billboards
this size on some
residential streets,
because they
break city council
rules.

SLOAN
City council head of
regulatory compliance Tracey
Weston said complaints had been
made about 10 different election
signs so far this year, and some of
them were still under investigation.
But she could not say who
the signs belonged to, or if
other candidates had also been
warned.
She said the majority of the
signs were in residential areas,
and broke the rules because of
their size and content.
Wigram young
slow to enrol
• By Bridget Rutherford
LESS THAN half of young
Wigram residents are enrolled
to vote in September’s general
election – the worst electorate in
the city.
Between half and three quarters
of 18-24 year olds are already
enrolled in the Christchurch
electorates, including Selwyn and
Waimakariri, allowing them to
vote on September 23.
But only 46.7 per cent were
currently enrolled in the Wigram
electorate – the lowest of all.
Wigram MP Megan Woods said
a lot of people living in the electorate
were university students,
and enrolled in their parents’
electorates – similar to Dunedin
North.
Christchurch Central was the
second lowest, at 49.6 per cent,
and Ilam at 51.7 per cent.
The figures, provided by the
Electoral Commission, take into
account those enrolled of the estimated
eligible population, on both
the general and Maori rolls.
Port Hills had the highest number
of 18-24 year-olds enrolled of
the city electorates at 73.7 per cent.
It also had the highest number of
people of all ages enrolled, at 92.5
per cent.

Warning over CDHB conflicts
• By Gabrielle Stuart
HEALTH BOARD members
have been told they should have
made a decision on the conflict
of interest which lead to the
resignation of former chairman
Murray Cleverley.
Mr Cleverley
(left) resigned
last month after
an investigation
into potential
conflicts of interest,
including
around a building
the Canterbury District
health Board leased.
Mr Cleverley told the other
health board members about
the potential conflict last year,
but they allowed him to decide
how to handle it.
But speaking at a CDHB
meeting, senior corporate
solicitor Greg Brogden told
health board members they
were all responsible for making
a collective decision about how
conflicts were handled.
“It would be wrong for a board
member to say I think I have
managed this situation, and for
you to carry on. You’re all responsible
for perceived or direct
conflict,” he told the board.
INVESTIGATED: Former Canterbury District Health Board
chairman Murray Cleverley was also director of a company
which owns an Oxford Tce building leased by the CDHB.
The conflict related to a building
on Oxford Tce which was
bought by Silverfin Capital Ltd
in December last year on behalf
of a syndicate of investors, and
leased to the CDHB.
Mr Cleverley became a director
of Silverfin in May last year.
He included the company on
his list of CDHB interests that
month, but did not flag it as a
potential conflict of interest
until August, when Silverfin
was in the process of buying the
building.
The Ministry of Health then
asked Mr Cleverley for an explanation.
It was told Mr Cleverley
would stay out of any decisions
around the building, but those
were unlikely to happen while
he was CDHB chairman.
That was because the CDHB
had signed a long-term lease of
the building in 2014, and the
lease was not up for renegotiation
until 2030.
The building was sold to
Silverfin in December, but the
CDHB, as tenant of the building,
was not involved in the deal.
The Ministry of Health discussed
the issue with the State
Services Commission, and they
decided the “optimal solution”
would be for Mr Cleverley to
resign from Silverfin.
But when that was put to Mr
Cleverley, he refused to resign.
During the later investigation,
Mr Cleverley told investigator
Michael Heron QC: “Their view
that I should resign from Silverfin
was to me naively uncommercial,
somewhat insulting to
me (by implying I might not be
trustworthy), and not justified
on the facts.”
Mr Heron concluded Mr
Cleverley was entitled to take
the position he did, but resigning
from the directorship would
have been “the prudent and cautious
course of action here.”
Mr Cleverley also part-owned
an investment company with
former CERA employees
Gerard Gallagher and Simon
Nikoloff, who the investigation
found had committed “serious
misconduct.”
Three other former CERA
employees are now being investigated
for potential conflicts of
interest.
Call for strict
conditions on
dredging plan
• By Bridget Rutherford
MARINE FARMERS have
called for strict conditions to be
put in place if Lyttelton Port of
Christchurch’s dredging plan goes
ahead.
LPC has applied for resource consent
to deepen, widen and lengthen
the current navigation channel to let
larger container ships in in an $80-
$130 million project.
The farmers want strict conditions,
including comprehensive
monitoring, if the consent was
granted to protect marine life.
In his hearing submission, Ngai
Tahu Seafoods marine biologist
Thomas Hildebrand said the
dredging could add stress to paua,
rock lobster, mussels and their
habitats.
LPC has done comprehensive
studies on the effects of marine
life, but Mr Hilderbrand said
they did not address the effects on
paua.
The proposal says the 18 million
cu m of sediment removed would be
dumped about 6km off shore from
Godley Head.
Mr Hildebrand said the sediment
could drift, or bury rock lobster
passing through the dumping area.

Home away from home for cancer families one step closer
• By Gabrielle Stuart
THOUSANDS OF families
battling cancer will be given a
home away from home through
the work of a local trust.
The Christchurch Bone Marrow
Cancer Trust has revealed
plans to build a 43-unit apartment
block on Selwyn St, more
than doubling the number of
families it can host.
The new building is expected
to cost about $10 million, and a
public fundraising campaign is
set to be launched next month to
help pay for it.
Ranui House was opened
by the trust in 1993 as a place
where people could stay close to
hospital while family members
were receiving treatment.
A fundraising campaign
raised $2.5 million to build
the first nine-unit house on
Cambridge Tce, and a second,
18-unit building was opened
beside it in 2008.
The new property, which is
on the corner of Selwyn St and
Waller Tce, has been owned by
the trust since 2010, but it has
been working to raise funds
and get resource consent for the
building. It was given this year.
Bone Marrow Cancer Trust
chief executive Allison Nicol
said she would not comment
on the plans until closer to the
campaign launch, when they
were finalised.
But in a newsletter, she said it
would require a lot of fundraising,
and would be “a challenging
but exciting time.”

Disaster response
group planned
• By Caitlin Miles
A DISASTER response group is
being set up in Redcliffs to offer
help and support during natural
disasters.
The Redcliffs Residents’ Association
is in the process of establishing
the Redcliffs Response and
Resilience Team to get the community
involved in the local emergency
planning and preparedness
in the case of a natural disaster.
The group has been established
as a result of the poorly planned
tsunami response following the
November 14 Kaikoura earthquake.
It is currently in the very
early stages of planning.
The group has identified an urgent
need for tsunami evacuation
planning with a focus on community
education.
Redcliffs Residents Association
secretary Pat McIntosh said
creating the group and a plan was
important for the area.
“Of course the recent tsunami
and evacuation is fresh in everyone’s
minds and this area is
vulnerable so there is a pressing
need to improve the plans for such
an event and ensure that the whole
community understands what to
do in the event of another warning
and need to evacuate the coastal
area,” Dr McIntosh said.
• By Gabrielle Stuart
ELECTRIC BUSES, electric
rubbish trucks, electric car
fleets – they are being touted as
the latest technology and the
way of the future.
But in Christchurch, they
may actually be ‘back to the
future’.
Electric vehicles were common
in Christchurch back
in the 1920s, with about 200
operating in the city at its peak,
according to a 1976 Star article.
Last month, the Christchurch
EV Group claimed to have
broken a New Zealand record
when they gathered 103 electric
cars together at Canterbury
University.
But a higher record may have
been set in the city almost 100
years ago.
Most of the electric vehicles
in the 1920s were charged
together overnight at the city
council Municipal Electricity
Department garage on Manchester
St.
In 1921 it was recorded that
51 electric vehicles were being
charged there overnight, 40 privately
owned and 11 owned by
the city council – but there is no
record of whether that number
grew as more electric trucks
were imported.
Christchurch EV Group
organiser Mark Nixon said he
would be more than happy to
hand over the title if records
were found of a larger gathering
in Christchurch’s past.
“I’d love it. It’s all in the name
of fun, and if we had to say
we broke the 21 st -century
record instead we’d still be
happy with that,” he said.
Orion systems engineer
Neville Digby dug into the
history of Christchurch’s
electric vehicles while
working as part of a team
restoring a 1919 Walker
electric truck.
The trucks were marketed
as a more efficient
alternative to horse-drawn
carts, and were popular
for deliveries.
Mr Digby said it was
very difficult to find
records of the electric
vehicles, and most of them
had been stripped down for
scrap metal around World
War 2.
The Orion truck was saved
as had been converted into a
mobile lunchroom, and then
into a caravan for workers to
stay in.
Now restored, it is one of
only three still operating in
the world, and sits in the foyer
at the Orion headquarters in
Burnside.
RESTORED: Orion systems engineer Neville Digby restored
this 1919 Walker electric truck, one of about 200 electric
vehicles used in Christchurch in the 1920s. (Top) – Some of
Christchurch’s electric vehicles near the Carlton Mill bridge
in 1921.

He said the truck would have
had a top speed of 22km/h, and
a range of 60km before needing
a charge.
It has travelled more than
320,000km, and is still clocking
up kilometres as it has a current
registration and warrant of
fitness.
Mr Digby said early electric
vehicles were ahead of the
times, even when it came to the
way they were charged.
Some of the electricity to
charge them came from an
incinerator burning the city’s
rubbish and converting that
energy to power.

Christchurch Airport’s plan to reach
On a cold, damp, smoggy night in China,
Fran O’Sullivan talks to Christchurch Airport chief
executive Malcolm Johns about plans for a virtual
airport terminal, autonomous vehicles, augmented
reality and artificial intelligence
CHRISTCHURCH Airport
chief executive Malcolm Johns is
on a roll as he outlines his plans
to put innovation at the centre of
the company’s growth strategies.
Mr Johns outlined the vision
which brought him and handpicked
senior executive Justin
Watson to Hangzhou to cement
an agreement with e-commerce
giant Alibaba.
“We very much want to bring
a virtual and a real terminal together
for visitors and in the area
of big data, the agreement we are
about to execute with Alibaba is
the biggest step we have taken in
that space,” Mr Johns said.
What Christchurch Airport
and Alibaba later signed was a
memorandum of understanding
which, at its most basic level, will
connect small and regional New
Zealand businesses with Chinese
visitors before, during and after
their visits. This promises to
open up the power of microexporting
– particularly from
the South Island.
The signing ceremony at
Alibaba’s massive Hangzhou
campus was attended by Alibaba
Australasian executives and the
New Zealand consul-general
to Shanghai, Guergana Guermanoff.
The companies’ strategic partnership
plays into a vision which
is being strongly promoted by
Alibaba founder Jack Ma, to have
two billion consumers in microtrading
relationships with tens
of millions of businesses around
the world by 2026.
It will also open the way for
Chinese visitors to more easily
book trips to New Zealand, pay
for items while they are here and
then re-order quality products
they have sampled in New Zealand
after they return home to
China.
“Alibaba’s e-commerce is the
biggest in the world,” says Mr
DEAL: Christchurch Airport chief executive Malcolm Johns
and Alibaba Australasian business development director John
O’Loghlen sign a memorandum of understanding at Alibaba’s
Hangzhou campus.
Johns. “It’s integrated and very
powerful, but the raw power of it
is not its mass but its individuality.
“It’s not about the big numbers.
It’s about the one-to-one direct
trading relationships that allow
for surgical micro-exporting to
develop.”
Mr Johns took the reins at
Christchurch Airport three years
ago. The airport had lost about
half a million passengers a year
in the wake of the devastating
February 22, 2011, earthquake,
and had lost significant market
share relative to Auckland Airport.
“We were very much looking
at how we could bring leadership,
ambition and confidence
back into the city.”
Mr Johns had been chief
executive of the InterCity Group
and had served on the board of
Tourism NZ.
Mr Watson, who is his chief
aeronautical and commercial
officer, was head-hunted for
his strong background in fastmoving
consumer goods and
was more recently Tourism NZ’s
director of trade, PR and major
events.
In 2014, the airport set strategic
objectives to achieve 8.5
million passengers a year by
2025 (forecast to add $1 billion
annually to South Island and NZ
GDP), generate 10,000 new jobs
across the regions and provide
competitive returns to shareholders.
Early signs are that the
strategy is working.
The South Island’s gateway
for international visitors set an
all-time record of 6.3 million
passengers for the 2016 financial
year. Servicing the South Island
tourism market also resulted in
more than $180 million of new
GDP in all regions of the South
Island – as well as generating
a record $31m in dividends for
shareholders.
Will you help break the cycle?
For young people who have been exposed to family
violence getting the right support is important. Aviva’s
Youth Service gives young men and women the tools to
create safer and healthier relationships in the future.

new heights with Chinese company
Details of Christchurch
Airport’s disruptive strategy
are commercially sensitive. But
already, autonomous vehicle
trials are under way; a driverless,
electric Smart Shuttle is expected
to be operating by 2019, moving
15 passengers at a time. Other
autonomous applications are being
discussed and the company
is in the early exploratory stages
of using artificial intelligence.
“At a philosophical level, we
were just trying to target value,
capture value and create value
in the visitor sector and our
focus on big data converged on
Alibaba,” said Mr Johns.
Mr Watson says small New
Zealand businesses frequently
experience difficulties trying to
make an impact in China. By
installing the online payment
system, Alipay, in their retail
outlets, Kiwi small and mediumsized
enterprises could make
more from the Chinese visitor
experience and move to microtransactions
with tourists who
have been to New Zealand.
The strategy was underpinned
by a Berl study which indicated
that such consumers would be
Zealand products if they had
been here.
Said Mr Watson: “There is an
opportunity to target and attract
higher value visitors from China
to stay on and spend more. There
is also a skew towards young
in groups which exactly overlays
with Alibaba’s audience as well.”
“Through Fliggy [Alibaba’s
travel service, previously named
Alitrips], there is the ability to
target them before they get to the
South Island. And through the
and create new value streams
for New Zealand SMEs to have
those micro-transactions.”
Mr Johns points out that
Christchurch Airport can step
in and build an online platform
(or virtual terminal) on which
SMEs can display their products
– “they don’t have the expertise
to data mine and highly target
visitors”.
“For us, it fits into the virtualisation
of our terminal. We can
only fit so many retail outlets
inside a physical terminal, but if
you create a virtual overlay on
top of it, you can extend your
passenger spend rates and your
retail relationships in particular.
“What drives us is building a
virtual terminal and what Alibaba
gives us the opportunity to
do, is to take what we are already
doing in the tourism sector and
extend it out to the productive
sector, particularly for SMEs.”
Mr Johns hit on the concept
at a seminar in China, where
the general manager for Spanish
company, Mango Leisure,
talked about their lessons from
operating in both the “High St”
and online in China. “What
digital in China is the big
numbers but it is actually the
little numbers that really count.
That is where the power sits.”
There is precedent. When
China Southern started flying
to Christchurch, strong visitor
demand saw stocks of Mt Cook
Aoraki salmon virtually wiped
out due to the highly seasonal
nature of tourism.
“If you have got a group of
consumers that are self-selecting
an interest in Aoraki salmon and
they have an excess of supply
during the winter months, then
your opportunity is to use that
pre-qualified group to extend
the trading relationship through
micro-exporting,” says Mr
Johns.
“When we looked at the
Alibaba platforms, what we
found was the cost for a SME to
be on some of those platforms
was prohibitive, so if we could do
what we do in our terminal and
aggregate the platform and also
aggregate the virtual terminal
for those SMEs in the regions
to be able to trade off, then that
fits into our virtual terminal
strategy.

Airport deal aims to increase visitor access
•From page 17
Mr Johns said: “That’s what we
approached Alibaba about last
year and got a very warm reception
from the Alitrips, Alipay
and Tmall Global etc.”
The airport board liked the
concept and approved a $1m
development budget. “That is
what has led us to the point we
are now, where we are ready to
commit to take their platforms
and use an integrated database
and start the process of working
here in China and rolling out
for New Zealand and building a
back end for the tourism sector
and the productive sector,” says
Mr Johns.
The airport is a major driver of
the South Island regional economy,
and the 6000 or so people
working there make it the South
Island’s largest employment
site. It is also one of the partners
in the ‘South’ initiative, which
sees all 13 regional tourism organisations
working together to
promote the entire island.
The airport executives say
the virtual terminal concept
has been discussed with the 13
regional tourism organisations,
major businesses such as Ngai
Tahu tourism and retail clients
in their terminal – “they are very
TOURISM: One of the reasons Christchurch Airport has formed
a partnership with Alibaba is to open the way for more Chinese
visitors to Christchurch and the South Island.
excited.”
“The real power in this is you
are dealing with an integrated
database across the three stages:
Pre-visit, during the visit and
post-visit. The challenge is for
someone like Ngai Tahu – which
obviously has seafood and other
interests – is that on their own
they couldn’t aggregate to the
point of getting all three of those
phases working in concert with
each other and that’s the value
that we believe we can bring to
the process.
“Because in partnership with
Alibaba, we can get the prequalification
for high value visitors,
including influencing the
itineraries of their visits to New
Zealand to match up with the
type of product we know they
will be interested in.
“Such as the artesian [water]
product produced in the regions.
Then we can lift those.”
Alibaba’s Maggie Zhou is
optimistic that the partnership
with Christchurch Airport will
boost micro-exports from New
Zealand.
Ms Zhou – the company’s
Australasian managing director
– explains how the e-commerce
giant will be able to mine its
customer database to help the
airport’s initiative to assist South
Island SMEs break into the Chinese
consumer market.
“Before the travellers go to
New Zealand, we will upload
their data from our platforms,”
she says.
“We know where they will go
and also we will promote a lot of
things to them.
“We will know what kind of
products they are interested in
and their travel plans, and when
they arrive in New Zealand, we
will let them know what kind of
nearby places they can go to.”
At a subsequent briefing, Alibaba
executives explained how
a geolocation-based ‘Discover’
function and push notifications
within the Alipay app help users
find nearby merchants, receive
promotional information and
make purchase decisions.
Said Ms Zhou: “If you are a
consumer and you open our
platform, your front page is different
from mine – 1000 people
see 1000 pages that are different.
“You need to have a big consumer
base to do that. In China,
we already have 450 million
users, so we can have the big data
to customise the page for those
consumers.”
The initiative will also enable
airlines to better utilise planes’
bellies to transport parcels of
products back to China. NZ Post
will be the logistics partner for
the project.
The next stage is for the airport
to develop a “South” presence on
Alitrips and support the rollout
of Alipay across the South Island
tourism industry. It will later
develop a retail trading platform
through Tmall Global and
provide data mining resources
to target the right products to
the right customers. This stage
will also involve rolling out the
Alibaba platforms to the North
Island.
The Christchurch Airport
initiative fits within Alibaba’s
globalisation strategy.
Tmall Global plans to attract
more young and affluent consumers
by recruiting new and
interesting products and brands,
releasing them through the
Tmall Global channel, and helping
merchants grow in the China
market. The platform already
hosts more than 14,500 international
brands from 63 countries
and regions.

Wagner sets her agenda
IT’S A very exciting
and important
few weeks for me
as I take over the
reins as Minister
supporting Greater
Christchurch
Regeneration.
I was born and raised in
Christchurch. This city is my
home and the reason I got
into politics – I want to ensure
Christchurch is a great place
to live for my family, friends
and community. The last six
years have been tough for us
all. Everyone lost something
– a family member, a friend, a
home, a community, a lifestyle.
Many have been injured,
physically or emotionally,
and we’ve all been stretched,
sometimes almost to breaking
point. But we’ve also supported
one another through the
initial disaster, the recovery,
the rebuild and now, the
regeneration phase.
And we need to continue
supporting individuals,
organisations and communities
still working through
earthquake issues.
Although we still have plenty
to do, I want to start my tenure
with a reflection on how far
Nicky Wagner
we’ve actually come. There is
so much to acknowledge and
celebrate, and I’m very proud to
be part of this community and
its progress.
Right now, Christchurch
is a city of real opportunity. I
think we all want the same
thing – a vibrant, peoplefriendly
city where our families
can thrive. We want a great
education for our kids, we want
training and higher learner
opportunities, we want jobs we
like, we want support services,
solid infrastructure and a
safe place to relax and enjoy
ourselves.
And we can do it. I’ll be
working hard alongside Mayor
Lianne Dalziel, the city council,
Regenerate Christchurch,
Otakaro, other agencies and
community groups and,
most importantly, you. By
working together we can create
something really special.
I know there’s still a lot of
work to be done. We need
to pick up the pace and stay
focussed on moving in the right
direction. The ultimate test for
everything we do needs to be: Is
this good for Christchurch?
If every decision, plan or
project can pass that test, then
we’ll be safe in the knowledge
that our city will be good for
us and for many generations to
come.

Labour goes back to school
ANDREW LITTLE did
it. Labour’s education
spokesman Chris
Hipkins did it. I did
it. In fact, most of my
Labour colleagues did it.
That’s right, we all went back
to school for a few hours. No, it
wasn’t to learn campaign tactics
from the schoolyard as one wag
suggested, but to show support
for better funding of teacher
aides and other school support
staff.
For a couple of hours, we
shadowed teacher aides and
got to see first-hand what they
do and were reminded of the
challenges they face. Teacher
aides are the people who work
one-on-one in the classroom
with children who need extra
help. This is not only hugely
beneficial to the child receiving
the support, but also allows the
classroom teacher to work with
other children in the class.
At the Wigram school I was at,
I was blown away by the patience,
compassion and professionalism
of the staff I had the privilege
to shadow. Teacher aides do an
amazing job with some of our
most vulnerable children and
they deserve better recognition.
That recognition needs to start
with funding. School support
staff are paid out of the school
operations grant, competing with
day-to-day costs like electricity,
ICT, and maintenance. But in
last year’s Budget, the National
Government snuck through
a freeze to this very school
operations grant. This funding
freeze was unprecedented. No
Government as far back as 1999
has ever frozen school funding
before, and it’s put strained
school budgets under more
pressure. Schools are having to
ask parents with tight family
budgets for more, and for some
this isn’t possible.
Labour has made a clear
commitment to fund school
support staff through a
centralised system, as we
presently do for teachers.
We’ll ensure support staff
are given better training and
professional development and
have access to a career framework
that rewards them for advancing
their skills.

Work Together to Promote
the Belt and Road Initiative
The Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation will be
held from May 14 to May 15 in Beijing. The Belt and Road Initiative
has become an important platform for international cooperation
with the bright prospects in the world amid rising protectionism
and unilateralism. Since the initiative was proposed four years ago,
China has expanded its “circle of friends” in the Belt and Road
region with fruitful achievements in infrastructure construction and
capacity cooperation, seeking further development in the future. It
is worthwhile to know more about this important initiative and its
implications for the world.
Background of the Belt and road InItIatIve
More than two millennia ago, the diligent and courageous people of
Eurasia explored and opened up several routes of trade and cultural
exchanges that linked the major civilisations of Asia, Europe and
Africa, collectively called the Silk Road by later generations. For
thousands of years, the Silk Road Spirit — “peace and cooperation,
openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit” has
been passed from generation to generation, promoted the progress
of human civilisation, and contributed greatly to the prosperity
and development of the countries along the Silk Road. Symbolising
communication and cooperation between the East and the West,
the Silk Road Spirit is a historic and cultural heritage shared by all
countries around the world.
In the 21st century, a new era marked by the theme of peace,
development, cooperation and mutual benefit, it is all the more
important for us to carry on the Silk Road Spirit in face of the weak
recovery of the global economy, and complex international and
regional situations.
When Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Central Asia and
Southeast Asia in September and October of 2013, he raised the
initiative of jointly building the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st
-Century Maritime Silk Road (Belt and Road), which have attracted
close attention from all over the world.
The Belt and Road run through the continents of Asia, Europe
and Africa, connecting the vibrant East Asia economic circle at
one end and developed European economic circle at the other,
and encompassing countries with huge potential for economic
development. The Silk Road Economic Belt focuses on bringing
together China, Central Asia, Russia and Europe (the Baltic); linking
China with the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea through
Central Asia and West Asia; and connecting China with Southeast
Asia, South Asia and the Indian Ocean. The 21st -Century Maritime
Silk Road is designed to go from China’s coast to Europe through the
South China Sea and the Indian Ocean in one route, and from China’s
coast through the South China Sea to the South Pacific in the other.
new engIne for gloBalISatIon and IncluSIve
cooperatIon
Globalisation currently is facing various problems and challenges, and
the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative will become the engine
for the future of globalisation. The Belt and Road Initiative is against
narrow-minded protectionism and isolationism. The Initiative has
become the common cause of the world which will help rebalance
the economic globalisation by making it more universally-beneficial
and inclusive. With its guiding principles of “extensive consultation,
joint contribution and shared benefits”, the initiative has become a
chorus instead of a solo. It aims to modernise the ancient trade route
while aspiring to create common prosperity.
China’s initiative to jointly build the Belt and Road, embracing the
trend towards a multi-polar world, economic globalisation, cultural
diversity and greater IT application, aims at being highly efficient
in terms of the allocation of resources, and at achieving a deep
integration of markets among the countries concerned. It will thereby
jointly create an open, inclusive and balanced regional economic
cooperation architecture that benefits all.
Countries along the Belt and Road have their own resource advantages
and their economies are mutually complementary. Therefore, there
is a great potential and space for cooperation. We promote policy
coordination, facilities connectivity, unimpeded trade, financial
integration and people-to-people bonds as our five major goals, and
strengthen cooperation in the key areas.
early harveSt of the InItIatIve
The past four years have witnessed the launching, expansion, fasterthan-expected
progress and fruitful outcomes of the Belt and Road
Initiative. The UN General Assembly, the UN Security Council,
UNESCAP, APEC, ASEM, the GMS have all incorporated or
reflected Belt and Road cooperation in their relevant resolutions and
documents.
A number of important early harvests have been made. Economic
corridor development is making steady progress. An interconnected
infrastructure network is taking
shape. Trade and investment have
increased significantly. Key project
cooperation is underway. The
Asian Infrastructure Investment
Bank (AIIB) and Silk Road Fund
have provided firm support to
financial cooperation. China
Railway Express trains to Europe
have been operating on the vast
Eurasian continent, loaded with
goods and matching the market
needs of countries along the route.
gloBal growth StImulator
The construction of the Belt and Road Initiative benefits not only
China itself, but also countries along the routes. Against the backdrop
of insufficient global demand, the blueprint will make contributions
to the world economic growth.
Chinese enterprises have so far established 56 economic and trade
cooperative zones in more than 20 countries along the routes,
invested accumulatively more than 18 billion U.S. dollars, and created
1-billion-dollar revenue and 160 thousand jobs. Last year, China’s
direct investment in 53 countries along the routes reached 14.53
billion dollars and the total value of contracts China signed with 61
related countries reached over 126 billion dollars.
In the spirit of regional connectivity, China has initiated railway,
road, civil aviation, electricity and telecommunications projects
across the Belt and Road. Because of new infrastructure projects, the
Belt and Road region’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2016 grew
by 4.6 percent, exceeding the developing economy’s average growth
of 3.6 percent.
China has signed more than 130 bilateral and regional transport
agreements with countries involved in the Belt and Road, according
to the Ministry of Transport of China. The on-going Jakarta-Bandung
high-speed railway (HSR) project in Indonesia, an investment of 5.1
billion U.S. dollars, was officiated last January.
The Thai-China Industrial Park in Rayong, located some 200
km from Bangkok, is now the biggest center of industrial cluster,
manufacturing and export of China’s traditional industries in
ASEAN countries. The industrial park has so far attracted about 90
corporations with agreements of 2.5 billion dollar investments.
This year, the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative will
continue to be a growth point of the global economy, and the further
expanding of trade exchange, infrastructure connectivity and
financial intermediation will drive the development of production
capacity cooperation, cross border e-commerce and other fields.

StrategIc coordInatIon
China has pushed forward the Belt and Road initiative with solid
progress and stepped up policy coordination with countries along the
route, which have responded positively with practical coordination
strategies. The initiative has so far gained the support of over 100
countries and international organisations, and more than 40 of them
have signed cooperation agreements with China, reaching a broad
international consensus on the initiative.
The concept of the economic belt was first proposed by Xi on a visit
to Kazakhstan in 2013, and Kazakhstan was the first country with
which China started capacity cooperation and strategic coordination.
The two sides have achieved some early results including 51 major
cooperation projects worth over 27 billion dollars and more than
1,200 China-Europe
freight trains that
passed through
Kazakhstan.
During Chinese
Premier Li Keqiang’s
visit to Australia
in March, the two
sides agreed to
integrate the Belt
and Road initiative
with Northern Australia development plan. Jan Adams, Australia’s
ambassador to China, has said that the initiative and the Northern
Australia development plan are highly complementary on a strategic
level, and that the two sides have achieved consensus on aligning the
two efforts.
During Li’s visit to New Zealand in late March, the two countries signed
a memorandum of understanding on the initiative, making New
Zealand the first western developed country to participate substantively
in the Belt and Road. The visit has prompted the establishment of
organisations supporting the Belt and Road. For example, the Oceania
Silk Road Network (OSRN) is being forged by New Zealand business
interests, headed by William Zhao, director and CEO of the Chinaowned
Yashili New Zealand Dairy Company. President of the ruling
National Party
Peter Goodfellow
and National MP
Yang Jian have also
announced the
launch of the Belt
and Road promotion
mechanism, a public
service platform and
network system to
boost cooperation
with China.
Belt and road forum for InternatIonal
cooperatIon
With the imminent Belt and Road Forum for International
Cooperation to be held from in May in Beijing, development of the
initiative has stepped into a golden period. Thus far, 28 heads of
state and government leaders have confirmed their attendance at the
forum. Other delegates include officials, entrepreneurs, financiers and
reporters from 110 countries, and representatives of 61 international
organisations.
By hosting the forum,
China hopes to
discuss cooperation,
promote strategic
coordination and
deepen partnerships in
the next stage, so as to
advance international
cooperation and
achieve a win-win
result with the development and structural adjustment of Chinese
economy and society.
To better build consensus and advance cooperation, China has set
“Belt and Road: Cooperation for Common Prosperity” as the Forum’s
theme. The agenda will focus on connectivity of policy, transportation,
trade, finance and people. Discussions will be conducted on key
topics such as infrastructure connectivity, economic cooperation
and trade, industrial investment, energy and resources, financial
support, people-to-people exchanges, ecological and environmental
protection and marine cooperation. The Leaders Roundtable, the
highlight of the Forum, will focus on two topics: Policy Synergy for
Closer Partnership and Connectivity Cooperation for Interconnected
Development. The theme and agenda are highly relevant, considering
the circumstances and challenges our world faces.
The forum will give impetus to the Belt and Road cooperation
which features mutual respect and trust, mutual benefit and winwin
cooperation, and mutual learning between civilisations. As long
as all countries along the Belt and Road make concerted efforts to
pursue common goal, there will be bright prospects for the Silk Road
Economic Belt and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road, and the
people of countries along the Belt and Road can all benefit from this
Initiative.

Freemasons mark 300 years
• By Julia Evans
WHAT DO Shakespeare,
George Washington, Beethoven
and the Duke of Edinburgh have
in common?
All of these men have been
part of an organisation about to
celebrate its 300th anniversary –
the Freemasons
This weekend, Christ’s
College will host some of
the 10,000 Freemasons from
around the country coming
together to mark the significant
tercentenary.
District grandmaster Geoff
Row said celebrations will be
happening across the globe,
culminating in a major event in
London in October.
Christchurch Freemason
Bruce Russell has been working
on the anniversary plans now
for at least three years.
“The stonemasonry buildings
at Christ’s College connect us
back to where everything started
in England,” he said.
The weekend’s celebrations
include a dinner, church service
and a march through the central
city
“The celebrations are going
to be magnificent,” Mr Russell
said.

Delay to
high country
fence decision
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A DECISION over a ratepayerfunded
fence in a high country
station has been held off by the
Selwyn Waihora Zone Committee
after concerns more research needs
to be done on the project.
About five zone committee members
will travel to Cave Stream later
this month to visit the site.
It was planned the committee
would make a final decision on supporting
the funding for a proposed
fence by Flock Hill Holdings Ltd last
Tuesday.
Environment Canterbury proposed
putting $44,236 towards
fencing off a section of Cave Stream
and associated 35ha wetlands at the
station.
It comes after an application by
Flock Hill’s leaseholder Flock Hill
Holdings, owned by Jim Foster and
Vince Saunders of Los Angelesbased
Coast Range New Zealand.
This was for vegetation clearance
on nearby terraces so it could intensify
grazing on the land.
It proposed fencing off Cave
Stream as a way of mitigating the
associated loss of biodiversity on the
terraces. The landowners will contribute
$22,000 towards the project.

FUTURISTIC: This design from Irving
Builders has angled walls and a central

climbing.
Exciting designs
submitted
for playhouse
THREE EXCITING designs have been
revealed by the successful entrants in this
year’s playhouse challenge, a special feature
of the 2017 Star Home & Leisure Show.
Fusion Homes with Scratch Architecture,
Irving Builders with PXA Architects
and Pound Road Trading will each build
a specially-designed playhouse to be auctioned
at the show on Saturday, July 1.
The auction will raise money for local
charities Birthright Canterbury and Tenants
Protection Association Christchurch.
TPA manager
Di Harwood said
Birthright Canterbury
and TPA
are grateful to the
three building
companies and
see the playhouse
challenge as a
perfect fit for the
charities.
“While TPA’s
main focus is on supporting people with
housing issues, keeping a consistent roof
over people’s heads is also very much a part
of the work Birthright Canterbury does in
strengthening single parent families.”
Star Media is the major sponsor of the
playhouse challenge, which is also being
supported by Priority Communications,
Wyma Engineering, Resene, Robertson
Creative, and Dave Richards Photography.
“These aren’t regular children’s playhouses,”
Star Media general manager Steve
McCaughan said. “They will be judged on
their architectural design and construction,
as well as how much fun they are for kids.”
“We are delighted that the playhouse
challenge will be part of this year’s Star
Home & Leisure Show and are hoping
there will be plenty of interest from buyers.
We are big supporters of Birthright Canterbury
and TPA, who have been looking
after Canterbury people for many years.”
Playhouse challenge judges will include
Birthright Canterbury chair Jane Lancaster,
TPA board member Robin Tinga,
architect John McGrail from Dalman
Architects and early childhood educator
Blanche Head.
The playhouse challenge was inspired by
Australia’s popular cubby house challenge,
which this year raised well over $100,000
for the charity Kids Under Cover.

There are two probable reasons why your gypsophila plants are dying out. As gypsophila means “lime
loving”, it is possible that your soil is too acidic. Gypsophila thrives in soils that are slightly alkaline.
Applications of lime can assist in remedying this problem.
The other possible cause of death is poor drainage. Most gypsophilas tend to be short lived in wet soils. Ideally
plants should be grown in full sun, or light shade and in a rich, fi ne soil. Once established, it is advisable not to
disturb the plant clumps. Cut old stalks back to ground level as the blooms fade to encourage further fl owering.
There is no reason why you can cultivate white but not pink gypsophila. Prepare the soil well, ensure there is
good drainage and try again in spring with some new pink gypsophilas.

Hey Myrtle, where the hell’s Parkhouse Garden Supplies
gone? They aren’t in Parkhouse Road anymore.
They shifted nearly four years ago Sybil.
Where to?
Landscape Lane, you know off Lunns Road?
Landscape Lane, that’s a good name Myrtle.
Yes it is, Landscape Lane runs off Lunns Road which
runs off Curletts Road, Sybil.
Is that the lane between that truck place and the
auction outfit?
That’s right Sybil, between TR Group and Turners.
They got lots of stuff there Myrtle?
Hell yeah Sybil, where you been, you need to go there.
They have 63 bulk bins with everything from: bark, mulches,
compost, shingles, coloured stones and that’s just in the bins,
not counting all the other stuff in their clean sealed yard -
a wonder to behold, Sybil.
What else have they got Myrtle?
They have a shop with all sorts of sprays, fertilisers, tools, potting
mix, pea straw, wine barrels (I bet they drunk the stuff in them),
lots of stuff in bags and the staff are soooo nice and they load
your car for you.
That sounds like great service, Myrtle. Have they got
a website thingy?
C’mon Sybil, I would say the best website in town -
www.parkhousegardensupplies.co.nz.
Will you come and pick me up Myrtle, Bert’s busy
today and he’s a bit grumpy. I want to get down
there and I bet they take my Gold Card.
They do Sybil, you get 10% discount every day
except Monday which is ‘Old Farts Day’ and they give
you 16-57% discount.
Sounds like a lovely place, Myrtle.

Island paradise is picture perfect
.kiwi
Thursday May 11 2017
• By Mike Yardley
LAZING ON sugar-white beaches,
fanned by coconut palms,
while gazing at the gin-clear
lagoon that lassoes the island, is
why the reality of Rarotonga is as
perfect as the postcards.
Drinking in that crisp lagoon
palette of electric blues and
turquoise hues, and basking in
its bath-warm gorgeousness, is
central to Rarotonga’s perennial
stature as a fly-and-flop destination.
A great new way to explore
the underwater world of Muri
Lagoon, is to join a Sea Scooter
Safari with Ariki Adventures.
These ingenious hand-held machines
are shaped like a torpedo
and battery-powered to pull along
you through the water at 4km/h.
Kitted out with a mask, snorkel
and fins, I noticed my water speed
almost doubled when I used the
fins. After a group safety briefing
and short play in the water,
my guide led us through some
of the most abundant marine
snorkelling spots in the lagoon,
swimming amid techni-coloured
schools of fish. (Arki also runs
extra-adventurous tours beyond
the reef on their Ocean Safari.
You’ll need to be comfortable in
the open sea, a competent swimmer,
and not prone to freaking
out if an occasional reef shark
comes into view. The Ocean safari
takes you out to a century-old
shipwreck.)
If you’ve got a GoPro, you can
mount your device on the front of
the sea scooters. You can also hire
wetsuits if you’re anxious about
rubbing up against coral in the
SAFARI: Explore Rarotonga’s underwater world with a sea scooter, it will pull you along at speeds of up to 4km/h. Right – The
beachfront at Moana Sands.
thriving coral canyons.
Avoid all red and yellow corals
– and fire coral is aptly named for
the painful sensation it wreaks,
if you brush up against it. I’m
not the most practical of people,
but the scooters are effortless to
master.
Each handle has a throttle button
which should be held down in
tandem, for optimum propulsion.
And the steering system faithfully
follows the direction you point it
in, including nose-diving down
to the lagoon floor, for intimate
encounters with coral gardens
and giant clams.
During our safari we crossed
paths with a lagoon cruise, as they
were attracting the sea life with
food. Suddenly, the sheer size of
the schools of fish frenetically exploded
before our eyes, including
the welcome presence of larger
specimens, like trevally, joining
the feeding frenzy.
The kaleidoscope of marine life

is full of surprises. Keep a look
out for moray eels slinking about
the rocky depths, or the graceful
joy of seeing eagle rays and
sea turtles breezing through the
lagoon.
Ariki Adventures are the only
sea scooter safari operator on
Rarotonga, and their innovative
90min tour reveals so many
eye-popping treasures within the
lagoon. www.arikiholidays.com
On my latest visit to Rarotonga,
I finally made a date with the
nation’s multiple award-winning
island night show at Te Vara Nui
Village.
Launched in 2010, an old taro
swamp was spectacularly transformed
into a show-stopping
performance space, wrapped in a
floating garden, lustily showcasing
Rarotongan music and dance
in style.
The thoughtfully-designed
seating layout wraps around the
elaborate overwater stage, creating
a potently atmospheric arena.
The lavish buffet dinner includes
a generous spread of signature
dishes, including that sterling
icon of Rarotongan cuisine, ika
mata.
Anticipation reaches its crescendo
as the heavy drums beat
with greater and greater intensity.
The production’s exceptional
sound and lighting elements,
complete with flaming torches,
electrifies proceedings.
Suddenly I felt like Las Vegas
had descended on Muri Beach.
Group upon group of beautiful
local dancers throng the multilevel
stage, to celebrate the legend
of Tangaiti and the settlement of
Rarotonga. Their artistry, choreography,
energy and stamina is
mind-blowing.
I have seen my fair share of
cultural shows, but nothing has
come even close to the exhilarating
spectacle at Te Vara Nui. I
recognised one of the performers,
Chris, who had earlier in the
day joined me on a Buggy Tour.
Straight after that, he was slogging
his guts out, playing a top-level
club game of rugby league. And
now he was dancing up a storm
on stage. Where do these people
get their energy from?
Te Vara Nui is undeniably the
mother of all island nights. www.

Play a sense of deja vu for Martin
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
YVONNE MARTIN has never
looked back since she landed her
first gig performing at The Court
Theatre nearly 40 years ago.
The Cashmere resident has
led a vast career performing in
theatres around the country,
directing in city companies and
making appearances on television
shows Shortland St and A
Week of It .
But she still

Court Theatre

earthquake.
While she was not performing
in a production at theatre formerly
based in the Christchurch
Arts Centre during the earthquake,
she was heavily involved
in the fundraising for its return
in Addington.
“We had great hopes for the
future for getting this large and

WITH THE New Zealand
elections on the horizon, the
city’s longest-running theatre
will stage a play ‘taking
the Mickey’ out of the way
governments are run.
The Canterbury Repertory
Theatre will stage Yes, Prime
Minister based on the late 80s
satirical British sitcom with Ian
Lester, 64, playing the lead role of
Prime Minister Jim Hacker.
“It is relevant, the humour in
it still happens. Nothing changes
in government, it is just so
funny,” Lester said.
Non-political himself, Lester
said while the show is based on
rather empty barn of silo into a
working space and it was very
thrilling to get that done so
quickly”.
Martin said when she started
out, theatre was much more
English-based but with the advent
of television shows are now
more internationally-based.
“I don’t think just because it is
modern it is good or better – just
different . . . just because something
was written a long time ago
doesn’t mean it is bad or can’t be
changed,” she said.
It has been 26 years, but
Martin will perform in Russian
playwright Anton Chekhov’s
Uncle Vanya for the second time
at The Court Theatre.
She will play the role of Maria
Vasilyevna – an elderly lady who
is “a bit of a feminist” and who
Martin said is not anything like
herself .
Focusing on the themes of
family, love and heartbreak,
Martin said the key themes of
Uncle Vanya is the effect a loss of
hope has on a person’s life and
caring for the environment.
Martin said the play,
first published in 1897 was
very advanced for its time,
highlighting climate change and
an English system, it takes the
Mickey out of all the governments
including New Zealand.
“This show just shows how silly
the government is really . . . the
real tough decisions are made in
the evenings over a glass of whiskey
with a fight in your office,”
Lester said.
British himself, Lester moved
to the city from London in 1977
as a printer wanting to see the
world.
“I came here on a two-year
contract, I met a lovely girl and
there you go that is what happens,”
he said.
Lester studied at the London
College of Printing and worked
as a printer from 1969 to 1985.

conserving the forests, which is
relevant today.
“I like to see things recycled – I
hate to see waste and I do what I
personally can to help with that
. . . I do care about the state of
the rivers,” Martin said.
Married at 21, Martin said
taking on a career in theatre was
a risk but was one she was glad
she took.
“I asked my husband whether
he would mind me doing it
because it was such a big commitment,”
she said.
With a supportive family, Martin
said she never had to worry
about where her next meal was
coming form.
But she said with not enough
jobs in the country, performers
need to take every opportunity
they can.
“Keep knocking on doors.
There will be lots of hard knocks
but if that is the only thing you
want to do just keep trying because
one day you will crack it,”
she said.

result of the Wapping dispute.
It was a failed strike by print
workers in London after production
was shifted to a new plant
with modern computer facilities
in January 1986.
Lester said while the London
College of Printing is still running,
the institute which was
once the size of Canterbury University
could now be run out of a
few three-bedroom houses.
He is now self-employed,
working from his home in
Kaiapoi as a funeral celebrant.
Lester first discovered his performing
talents playing in a brass
band for one of the coal mines in
Wales.

It’s like sudoku: each
vertical and horizontal
line has to contain
the numbers 1-6, and
the numbers can’t be
repeated in any row or
column.
But it’s sudoku with a
twist: The numbers in
each heavily outlined
set of squares, called
cages, must produce the
number in the top corner.
For example, 5+ means
the numbers add up to 5,
9x means the numbers
multiply to equal 9.
TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the
same line or row.

CAREERS EXPO
Choosing the right
career path is not easy!
Youth need guidance on transition
from school to jobs.
Thousands of young people attending the Christchurch
Careers Expo over the next few days will be looking to
their future transition from school into the world of
work.
This is where the Careers
Expo presents an unparalleled
opportunity to connect directly
with those most able to provide
guidance and information needed
to make informed choices for the
journey ahead.
There are skills shortages aplenty in New Zealand.
The economy is tracking well, yet statistics show that
a lot of young people are still not finding work, with
unemployed aged between 15 and 24 at unacceptably
high levels.
Director of the Careers Expo Mark Gillard, does
not believe that these people aren’t interested in
work; he believes the problem stems from the crucial
transition between school and the workforce. Pointing
to international research carried out by the UK’s
Employers and Schools Taskforce Mr Gillard explains
that there needs to be an increase in interaction between
businesses and young people, when young adults are
still at school.
“Their research entitled “It’s who you meet” found
that students from all demographics benefitted from
early interaction and engagement with business, being
considerably less likely to end up without a job, outside
of training or education”.
Each year around 160,000 Kiwi secondary school
students (years 10-13) make decisions about their careers
and life after school, such as where and what to study
and what they want to achieve in life. These are huge
decisions for young people, and the more information
we can provide to help make the best choices at this time
the better.
Being able to talk to someone ‘on the job’ or from an
industry body can help clarify many of the questions
that sit around the transition into the work force - What
is it really like to work in a particular sector? What are
the costs of training? How long will it take and will there
be a job for me at the end of my training?
Connecting with tertiary training organisations,
industry groups and future employers, is so important
for young people to do. It is never too early to start
thinking about their future and take advantage of the
opportunity to connect directly with future employers.
The Careers Expo and The World of Work provide the
ideal opportunity for young people and their families to
scope out the wide range of opportunities that exist, and
to talk about future plans.

Holden on track
with cheeky Trax

Below is a small
selection of our
great deals!

• By Ross Kiddie
IT’S NO secret Holden will
cease manufacturing operations
in Australia towards
the end of this year.
While many will lament
the passing of the iconic
vehicles for which we have
come to love down under,
the good news is that
Holden on both sides of
the Tasman has a vision for
the future, and slowly but
surely that plan is coming
to fruition.
Effectively, it means all
Holden vehicles will be
sourced from other global
manufacturing sites, as the
plan unfolds a lot of our
Holden-badged product
will come from Europe
and the United States and
already we are seeing, several
models land here from
Korea.
Notably, Holden have
introduced a new Barina
and Trax. An evaluation
on the Barina will appear
in these columns soon, this
evaluation focuses on the
Trax, a small sport utility
vehicle which is based on
the Barina platform.
When I say SUV,
the Trax can’t really be
described as a genuine allrounder,
it is two-wheeldrive
(front) only, but it
looks the part with its big
18in wheels and chunky
styling cues.
The Trax lands here in
three specification levels,
all have the same 1.4-litre
turbocharged four-cylinder
engine and share a sixspeed
automatic gearbox,
that being the only driveline
in the new model.
The engine is rated with
103kW and 200Nm of
power and torque outputs.
The beauty of modern turbocharging
techniques is to
enhance low down engine
power without sacrificing
fuel economy. Peak power
is realised at just 4900rpm
and maximum torque is
available at 1850rpm, these
figures are enviable. Even
though overall engine
capacity is low at 1364cc,
it feels strong from early in
the rev band, and punch
through the mid-range
encourages lively acceleration.
The six-speeder is
a classy gearbox with
smooth, quick shifts and
ratios which extract well
engine power and levelling
out to produce relaxed
engine motion at highway
speed.
HOLDEN TRAX: Developed for down under conditions.
Holden claim a 6.7-litre
per 100km/h (42mpg)
combined cycle fuel usage
rating, which sat well with
my 8l/100km (35mpg)
evaluation average. Given
that I tend to explore turbo
boost just to feel engine
urgency, these figures are
quite respectable. The
boost isn’t overly punchy,
but it is still there to be felt
and if you give the throttle
a bit of encouragement
at take-off a standstill to
100km/h time of around
10sec can be expected.
• Price – Holden Trax
LTZ, $36,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4257mm; width,
1776mm; height,
1674mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1364cc, 103kW,
200Nm, six-speed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 10.5sec
• Fuel usage –
6.7l/100km
At that speed the trip
computer lists a 4.8l/100km
(58mpg) instantaneous fuel
usage figure, which is frugal
and reinforces my statement
about economy.
Not only does the Trax
feel sprightly, it also sits
tidily on the road. While
the suspension is quite simplistic
with its front strut,
and rear tube beam tying
the rear wheel hubs together,
the handling sensation
is one of competence.
Holden has done a lot of
development on Korean
cars for our market and it
certainly shows, the Trax is
accurate in a corner and it
doesn’t rely on the tyres to
maintain grip.
On that subject, the
18in Michelin rubber
(215/55) has quiet riding
properties and affords
genuine feedback through
the steering wheel. The
suspension has spring and
damper rates which are
set quite soft, if you add in
the height of the Trax at
(1.67m) gravitational
forces would ordinarily
work against good
suspension control.
However, the Trax is
balanced and responds
capably when presented
with a quick corner or two.
In an everyday role, it
feels light and nimble, it
has manoeuvrability which
fits well if dropping the
kids off to school or tackling
the supermarket car
park, that will appeal to
those who want the vehicle
for the role in which it is
primarily designed.
It is cosy inside, but for
four adults it is comfortable
and has a relaxed seating
position, it would be fine
for three children across
the rear but two car seats
would certainly fill the rear
seat widthwise. Behind sits
a 356-litre cargo carrying
area extending to 785-litres
with the rear seats folded
flat.
The Trax lands here in
three variations depending
on specification. The entrylevel
LS sits at $32,990
which is an economical
starting point into an
SUV, the mid-range LT is
$35,490, while the LTZ as
tested has all the bells and
whistles at $36,990. Major
features include leather
trim with heated front
seats, MyLink infotainment
system, cruise control,
electric sunroof, keyless
entry and ignition and
a full suite of safety kit
which earns it a five-star
Australasian New Car
Assessment Program
rating.
Holden knows it has to
provide buyers here with
quality product, akin to
what we have always related
to with the brand. The
Trax, and the car it is based
on, have carved out a good
reputation here for reliability,
the newcomer lives up
to that reputation.

In Brief
MAISTER’S OLYMPIC ORDER
Selwyn Maister has received the
Olympic Order of New Zealand. It
was presented at the New Zealand
Olympic Committee’s annual
general meeting last week. Maister
represented New Zealand in
hockey at three Olympic Games,
and was part of the gold medal
winning team at Montreal in
1976. He went on to become a
coach, administrator and mentor
for hockey in Canterbury and
nationally. In addition to his
voluntary commitment to the New
Zealand Olympic Committee,
Maister has been a board member
of Paralympics New Zealand since
2008 and was appointed chairman
in 2014.
FOOTBALL’S CHATHAM CUP
The Mainland Premier League
takes a break on Saturday as the
Chatham Cup kicks off around the
country. League leaders Ferrymead
Bays will host second tier
competition front runners Selwyn
United. Cashmere Technical will
begin their run in the knock-out
competition they won in 2013 and
2014 by hosting Western AFC.
Five-time winner Christchurch
United will meet Nomads United
at English Park.
HEAP PERFORMS IN CHINA
Dylan Heap had a strong
showing at the China Junior
7 ITF tournament this week.
The 16-year-old made it to the
doubles final with Kiwi partner
Finley Hall, defeating several
junior players ranked in the top
200. Heap defeated second seed
Xinmu Zhou in the round of 16 to
make the singles quarter-finals. He
eventually fell to 10th seed Sheng
Tang 7-5, 3-6, 3-6.
GRAHAM MAKES NZ
TRIATHLON SQUAD
Ari Graham has been named
in the New Zealand team to
compete at the ITU world
triathlon championships in the
Netherlands. Graham, 18, is the
only Canterbury athlete in the
team of six juniors (under-19) who
will compete in September. She is a
former age group middle distance
and cross-country champion.
After competing in a couple of
school triathlons, she made the
decision late last year to dedicate
her time to triathlon. The
world championships will
take place in Rotterdam from
September 14-17.
RAMS FACE SHARKS
The Canterbury Rams return
to their home court at Cowles
Stadium on Sunday when they
host the Southland Sharks in the
NBL. They were lucky to make it
home following last Sunday’s game
against the Taranaki Mountainairs
after almost missing their flight
from New Plymouth on Sunday.
The Rams defeated Taranaki 90-71
then raced out of the building
at 4.50pm to catch their 5.38pm
flight.
Flatmates on international duty
• By Gordon Findlater
JOSH MCKAY, Tom Christie
and Will Jordan will soon trade
their homemade beans and eggs
on toast for the buffet at their
team hotel in Georgia.
The three flatmates will head
to Europe later this month after
being named in the New Zealand
squad for the world rugby
under-20 championship.
All three played for the New
Zealand under-20s in their 43-6
win over Australia to take out
the Oceania title at the weekend.
Christie started at flanker, Jordan
at fullback and McKay on
the wing. They’re also expected
to play a major role in Georgia.
“It was a good warm-up and
chance for us to bond ahead of
the world championship,” said
McKay.
“The Northern Hemisphere
teams will bring a different
style, the likes of England and
France will both be tough to
beat.”
After coming through Canterbury’s
age group sides together,
they decided to move into their
Ilam flat in February, all sharing
the same goal of making the
New Zealand squad.
“It’s great in the sense that
we can do things like go down
to the park for kicks together
and car pool to the gym,” said
Jordan.
The flat is everything you
would expect for a group of
19-year-olds, with rugby boots
greeting you at the front door,
last night’s dishes waiting to be
cleaned in the kitchen and sport
playing on the lounge television.
In Georgia, they will be teammates.
However, that hasn’t
always been the case.
Only two years ago, the trio
were battling it out in the Crusaders
region secondary schools
competition. McKay and Jordan
played together at Christchurch
Boys’ High School and won the
UC Championship in 2014. In
2015, they were defeated in the
semi-final by Shirley Boys’ High
School who, at the time, were
captained by Christie.
Jordan and Christie are now
teammates at Christchurch,
which sit at the top of the division
one metro competition.
TOM PARKER will compete
against future PGA Tour stars at
next month’s junior world cup
in Japan.
Parker, 17, is the only new
addition to the four-strong
team which competed at last
year’s Junior Golf World Cup,
with Daniel Hillier, Wellington,
Henry Spring, Bay of Plenty,
and Inia Logan, Otago, all
returning.

Meanwhile, McKay plays for
defending champions Lincoln
University. The two teams meet
this weekend in a top-of-thetable
clash.
“The Lincoln and Christchurch
rivalry is the bigger one
in the flat now. A little bit of
schoolboy chat gets chucked
around but . . . I get outnumbered
pretty quickly,” said
Christie.
The flat will have a different
look when they return from
the world championship, with
Jordan relocating to Nelson to
join Tasman in the Mitre 10
Cup.
There’s no need for the boys
to advertise a room, though.
Zack McKay, Josh’s cousin – a
promising young player in his
own right – will fill the void.
New Zealand has won the
annual under-20 tournament
on five occasions, with their
last victory in 2015. Their pool
matches will be against Scotland
on May 31, Italy on June 4 and
Ireland on June 8.
Parker to tee off for world title in Japan
The Christchurch Boys’
High student has been in fine
form this year and finished
third at the Australian boys’
amateur tournament last
month.
Teeing off on June 13,
the junior world cup is run
over four days of stroke-play
competition.

Tuivasa-Sheck, Lisone mark milestones against Panthers
• By Michael Burgess
TWIN MILESTONES are in
store for captain Roger
Tuivasa-Sheck and prop Sam
Lisone while Solomone Kata
returns from injury for the
Warriors’ encounter with the
Penrith Panthers at Pepper
Stadium on Saturday.
Tuivasa-Sheck’s 16th
appearance for the club will be
his 100th career match while
Lisone will reach his 50-game
milestone after debuting for the
club in 2015.
Kata was forced off in the first
half of the Anzac Day match
against the Melbourne Storm
with a hamstring injury, forcing
him to miss the last outing
against the Sydney Roosters as
well as ruling him out of last
week’s representative round.
He will return at left centre
with Blake Ayshford and David
Fusitu’a reunited on the right
edge.
Rookie Charnze Nicoll-
Klokstad, who had a solid debut

Manu Vatuvei.
Nicoll-Klokstad impressed
for the Cook Islands in their
test against Papua New Guinea,
while Vatuvei had a strong debut
for Mate Ma’a Tonga in their win
over Fiji Bati.
While Tuivasa-Sheck
and Lisone eye landmark
appearances this week,
interchange prop Ben Matulino
and second rower Bodene
Thompson move within one
game of milestones.
This week Matulino, again
named on the bench, will play
his 199th career game – all for
the Warriors – while Thompson
makes his 49th appearance for
the club.
The Warriors are 11th on the
table, two points out of the top
eight with a 4-5 win-loss record.
The Panthers are 15th with a

five games. Kick off is at 5pm,

Super Rugby’s leaving the Pacific Islands out in the cold
• By Gregor Paul
AS SUPER Rugby twists itself
in knots working out how it can
successfully reduce its size next
year, the greatest shame of all is
the door appears to be shut on the
Pacific Islands.
It has long been the greatest
travesty of Super Rugby that it has
ignored and actively rejected any
direct Pacific Island influence.
It feels even more so now that
the Sunwolves and Jaguares are
digging in for the long haul.

Why not put me
to the test
As I do stand out
from the rest
If you’re ready to
sell then so am I
So go ahead give
me a try!!!
Maybe things will get better
across the Tasman but that certainly
won’t happen quickly and
the South Pacific region would
be well advised to start seriously
building credible Super Rugby
alternatives outside of Australia.
If Samoa can be asked to come
to the rescue of the All Blacks by
agreeing at late notice to play a
test at Eden Park on June 16, then
why can’t they be asked to come
to the rescue of a Super Rugby
competition that is more desperately
in need of being saved?

The question needs to be asked
how it is that a team from Japan
and a team from Argentina are
firmly ensconced in Super Rugby
while the Islands are out in the
cold. The logic defies belief on all
fronts.
The geography is troubling.
Argentina is not an easy flight for
teams from any part of the world.
Its time difference is also an issue
and having one team in such
relative isolation adds significant
costs.
The same problem exists with
2017 SUPER 18
TiPPing ComPETi T ion
RoUnD 12 May 12 th & 13 th
bLUES V ChEETahS
bRUmbIES V LIONS
CRUSadERS V hURRICaNES
the Sunwolves. Next year they will
play in the Australian conference
and the logistics of that are going
to be tedious.
Crazy when the islands are
right there, smack bang in the
right part of the Pacific Ocean
to make them an easy hop from
both Australia and New Zealand.
Crazy when the islands have
the infrastructure these days to
successfully accommodate and
host teams.
The Chiefs and Crusaders
are playing in Fiji this year and
Thursday May 11 2017
the Blues will take on the Reds
in Apia. This effort to include
and embrace the islands is to be
welcomed, but it shouldn’t disguise
the fact that Samoa and Fiji
deserve more involvement than
one game each.
A team from that part of the
world could bring explosive
power and high-quality rugby
that may not necessarily be an
immediate winning formula but
will at least be genuinely entertaining
and challenging to play
against.
