Jess’ night of horror
‘One more hit
and he would
have killed her
I think’ - police
This is how Jess Setu (above) looks this week. But about a year ago it was a completely different
story – she was brutally attacked by her estranged husband Lealofi Setu (above right) with a piece of
wood in what has been described as a shocking case of domestic violence. On pages 8 and 9 Jess
talks candidly about the attack, what led up to it and the reason she is speaking out.

security at
McCaw’s
wedding
• By Bridget Rutherford and
Andrew King
THE MAN charged with
robbing two Canterbury bars
and a double shooting in
Rolleston was a security guard
at Richie and Gemma McCaw’s
wedding.
The Star has learned the
23-year-old was working at
the wedding of the former All
Blacks captain and former
Black Sticks player in January,
at The Olive Grove in Wanaka.
When contacted by The Star
yesterday Gemma McCaw said:
“I don’t want to comment on
that.”
Richie McCaw’s agent Dean
Hegan said because it was
before the courts, he could not
comment.
The 23-year-old has been
charged in relation to the
shooting of a mother and
daughter at a Rolleston address
on April 19, seriously injuring
both, before the armed robbery
of Hotel Ashburton later that
night.
He has also been charged
with the robbery of the
Springston Hotel on April 6.
Shots were fired in both holdups.
He is currently being held in
custody. He has interim name
suppression.
Police say further charges
could be laid in relation to other
hotel robberies in Christchurch.

FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK
The Star
News....................................3-24
THERE’S BEEN huge reaction
to last week’s article suggesting
Hagley Park’s Hospital Corner
could be used as a temporary
car park to alleviate the
Christchurch Hospital car
parking crisis.
Most people we spoke to are
for the idea, even the rebuild’s
new boss Nicky Wagner.
So we have coverage on pages
3, 12, 13, 14 and 15 today, giving
everyone from the city’s leaders
to the man and woman in the
street a voice.
The silence, though, from
Mayor Lianne Dalziel has been
deafening – she refuses to be
drawn on an opinion of what she
thinks of the idea.
Sorry Lianne, but the city
deserves to know what you think
on this issue; you are after all
Christchurch’s commander in
chief.
Others have stated their opinion
whether it be for or against.
The hospital car parking
situation affects thousands . . .
it would be good to know what
the mayor thinks, and more importantly,
what immediate plans
there are to sort the problem.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST
A bus service to Timaru began on May 16, 1904. On May 18, 1881,
Christchurch Boys’ High School (designed by W. B. Armson) opened
in Worcester St. The school moved to the present Straven Rd site in
1926, and the old building is now part of the Arts Centre. On the same
day in 1940 Harewood Airport is opened. It was soon to be taken over
by the RNZAF for the duration of World War 2. On May 19, 1910,
Halley’s Comet was visible by telescope in night sky. Prophesies of doom
and superstition abounded while the comet was visible. On May 21,
1865, the first news telegram was sent over the new line from Bluff to
Christchurch. On May 21, 1866, the city council abandoned the vital city
drainage scheme because of its financial state. A huge shipment of pipes
which had just arrived from England had to be sold off. This guaranteed
Christchurch’s reputation as New Zealand’s most polluted and unhealthy
city for another 20 years.

HUNGRY WOOD PIGEONS ARE BACK
THe distinctive noise and colours
of the kererū, New Zealand wood
pigeon, will be a common sight
around the city over the next few
weeks. The birds are currently
forging a flight path across the
city foraging for late autumn,
early winter meals in gardens and
parks. They normally spend their
time in the city near the Botanic
Gardens and Riccarton Bush, but
they have now been spotted as
far away as Abberley Park in St
Albans.

Final chance for Santa Parade funding
• By Gabrielle Stuart
SANTA PARADE organisers
will have a last ditch chance
to plead their case for funding
before Mayor Lianne Dalziel
and the city councillors next
week.
The parade has run in
Christchurch every year for
more than 70 years, but because
of a funding cut the money for
the parade is set to run out
• By Gabrielle Stuart
NEW GREATER Christchurch
Regeneration Minister Nicky
Wagner has supported using
Hagley Park for temporary
hospital car parking,
calling it “logical.”
The idea has been discussed
by the Canterbury
District Health Board
as a temporary solution
to the growing parking
problems around the
hospital.
But both mayor Lianne
Dalziel and CDHB chief
executive David Meates
have dismissed it, saying
it is not something they
are considering.
But a street poll and
questions to health board
members and other
public figures by The Star
this week suggest the
pair are out of touch (see
pages 12, 13, 14, 15).
Mrs Wagner said using Hagley
park’s Hospital Corner as a
temporary solution to the car
parking crisis the idea was logical,
and she would like to see it
considered.
“I live close to Hagley Park and
walk through it and it’s often just
a large empty space, so I’d like to
see it used,” she said.
However, she said she would
be “really careful” about what a
proposal might look like and the
limits set around it.
next month.
The Christchurch Santa
Parade Trust may then be forced
to sell its floats, as it will be
unable to pay rent on the float
storage warehouse.
The parade organisers
were initially told it was too late
to include money for the parade
in this year’s city council
annual plan, but they have
been allowed to make a
late submission.
She planned to encourage all
the agencies involved, including
the city council and Government,
to collaborate and look at all
options, including Hagley Park,
she said.
Mr Meates told The Star
last week the idea was
“not being considered,
and it is not going to be as
it’s not an option”.
He then told other media
after The Star article
appeared: “We are really
conscious about the sensitivities
of Hagley Park.
There is a lot of strongly
held views around Hagley
Park.”
Mr Meates is on leave
and could not be reached
for comment about the
reaction to The Star
article.
CDHB acting chief
executive Mary Gordon
said it was “not for us to
look into” because it would need
to be driven by the city council
and Government.
Ms Dalziel did not alter her
stance this week – a city council
spokeswoman saying that the
mayor’s comments in The Star
last week stood. Ms Dalziel
would not give a personal opinion
on the use of Hagley Park
for temporary hospital parking,
and it was not something she
was considering putting to the
council.
They will present their case
for funding in a public city
council hearing on Monday
at 5pm, where they will be
backed by Canterbury
Employers’ Chamber of
Commerce chief executive Peter
Townsend.
The financial problems escalated
after the city council cut
its funding grant from $97,750
to $69,000 last year, forcing
the trust to use money from its
reserves to pay for last year’s
parade.
That left funds too short to
pay the bills this year.
The parade is paid for through
a mix of sponsorship and both
city council and private funding
grants.
It costs about $200,000 each
year to run the parade, which
includes rent, insurance, maintenance
and a wage for one paid
organiser.

Security was strict at the Mc-

In Brief
AMBER LIGHT TRIAL
A consultancy firm has been
tasked with looking into an idea
to alter the amber traffic signal
by up to a second in a bid to
curb the city’s red light-running
problem. Christchurch Transport
Operations Centre manager
Ryan Cooney said the firm would
also plan and run trials. As part
of the project, the length of the
amber traffic signal could be
changed by up to 1sec. It currently
sits between 3.5sec and 5.2sec,
depending on the speed limit and
the intersection’s width.
MURDER TRIAL
Christchurch man Marcus
Tucker may have been murdered
because of confusion caused by
a nickname, the High Court in
Christchurch heard yesterday.
Peter Carroll is on trial for the
murder of Mr Tucker, whose body
was found by Lake Ellesmere in
April last year. Crown Prosecutor
Claire Boshier told the court an
associate of Carroll was robbed
at gunpoint for drugs early last
year, and one of the robbers was
rumoured to be called “Ruckus”.
That was Mr Tucker’s nickname,
but he was not involved in the
robbery. The trial is set to run for
two and a half weeks.
HOUSE PRICES DROP
THe Christchurch median house
price dropped slightly last month
to $459,100, down from $468,000
in March, according to a Real
Estate Institute NZ report. The
number of properties sold in
Christchurch also dropped, from
685 in March, to 473 last month. It
showed Selwyn topped the house
prices in Canterbury last month
with a $550,000 median price.
You can’t see it, but you
can hear the difference!

Point of difference in two new
• By Bridget Rutherford
ENTERING A dry cleaners shop
and going through a clothing
rack into a secret bar may sound
like a scene out of a James Bond
movie.
But it will soon be reality in
Christchurch when Red Light
District, a Chinese opiumthemed
den, opens early next
month.
Businessman and developer
Jason Whitelaw has just opened
Louis, a champagne and oyster
bar on Victoria St.
Red Light District will be
in the same building, and is
expected to open on June 8.
The $1 million bars have been
more than a year in the making
for Mr Whitelaw.
He had taken five trips to
Australia and two to Hong Kong
and China to gather ideas for
them.
He said the key to success was
having a point of difference and
hard work.
“Some come into hospitality
all starry-eyed expecting to have
a great time and an easy lifestyle.
They quickly learn that the late
nights are not about parties and
good times, but plain hard slog.
“I haven’t had a bar or
anything for about 10 years now.
I saw an opening in the market
in Christchurch.”

Different place, same result for hoarder

HE GOES by the name of Pastor
Philip – but he’s not spreading
good will among his new
neighbours.
The man, believed to be Philip
May, has moved to a new home
on Sydenham’s Ruskin St.
He previously lived on the
corner of Harman St and Grove
Rd in Addington,
where he sparked
complaints and
a city council investigation
about
his belongings
impeding the
footpath.
Philip May
Over the past
month, he has
been moving
trailer loads of items, including
old chairs, mattresses, wood and
scrap metal, onto his new rental
property and the grass berm
outside.
He said the items were donated,
and he took them once a
week to Annex Metals to collect
money to give to charity.
Other items were used to help
provide shelter after disasters
both here and overseas under
his group, May Mission New
Zealand, he said.
But neighbours say the “junk”
sitting next to the footpath outside
was making the street look
messy. They want it moved.
Mr May told The Star it was
only sitting outside his property
temporarily.
“I’m making some space so
that some of the stuff impeding
the gate and the fence can be
moved in.”
He said he had to move out of
his previous home because it was
earmarked for demolition.
City council acting head of
regulatory compliance Claire
Le Grice said it had received
one complaint in relation to the
accumulation of material at his
new property.

She said his belongings in his

street look like a dump, and other

Victim speaks out after brutal
Jess Setu is speaking out about the night
she was brutally beaten at the hands of her
estranged husband. Andrew King reports
3AM, FRIDAY, May 20, 2016,
Jess Setu is sound asleep, her
4-year-old daughter tucked up
beside her, and her other two
daughters aged 12 and 10 in other
rooms.
Outside, her angry estranged
husband and father of her children,
Lealofi Setu, 40, is about to
enter the
house with
a piece of
wood.
The goal:
To do as
much damage
to Jess,
32, as he possibly can.
He slips in the back door,
possibly with a key, turns off
lights left on so the children can
see their way to the bathroom,
and heads straight to Jess’
bedroom.
The attack is brutal and savage.
Setu is in a rage.
“I remember just being
smacked really hard and I just
started screaming,” she told The
Star this week after Setu was
sentenced to five years jail for the
attack on Monday.
Jess said initially she had no
idea of who her attacker was. All
she could think about was getting
the assailant out of the house,
away from her children.
“All I thought was, s**t, my
youngest is in
bed with me,
I have to get
out of here. I
was aiming
to get to that
front door
. . . because
I knew, if I could get there, this
person is going to follow me, they
will be away from my kids, and I
will be on the street where people
can hear me,” she said.
But she couldn’t get up because
the blows kept raining down.
Miraculously, her 4-year-old
was not struck in the flurry of
blows, and even slept through the
ordeal.
The attack only stopped when
I remember just being
smacked really hard and I
just started screaming.

the attack to stop. It was then
the 10-year-old realised who the
attacker was – her father.
Jess thinks it was her 10-yearold’s
pleas that stopped the
attack, and Setu fled.
It was only when the 12-yearold
rang for an ambulance
moments later, that Jess became
aware the attacker was Setu.
Said Jess: “I said grab mummy’s
phone I need to go to the
hospital, I need to call your dad,”
Her 10-year-old replied: “Mum,
it was dad.”
Jess’ face was covered in blood,
so she took a selfie to see how bad
it was.
The signs that something was
not right with Setu had emerged
15 hours earlier.
Jess was at netball with her
children when Setu turned up
and tried to kiss her.
They had been separated for
about seven months after Jess had
left him. They had shared custody
of the children.
Setu left the netball after she
rebuffed him.
“I said: ‘No, we have split up. I
don’t feel the same way about you
anymore. We are over’.”
Setu then tried to kiss her
again. Jess told him to back-off
and he left in a “big huff and
puff.”
A short time later, Setu phoned
Jess with an ominous threat:
“Your beauty is only going to last
so long and I can take it from
you,” Jess said he told her.
Setu called her again after her
rugby training demanding to
know where she was.
“He rings me and says where
the f**k are you, you’re not at

domestic violence nightmare
“I asked how did he get out
because he was locked inside the
house, the only way he could get
out is if someone let him out.
“He said where the f**k are
you, the kids have school in the
morning.
“I said I know they have school
in the morning, leave us alone.”
The children were with Jess.
Rex her german shepherd
disappeared that night and hasn’t
been seen since. She has her theories
on what happened to him.
Jess believes she would have
died in the attack if her children
had not intervened.
She had suffered numerous
gashes to her face, most of which
were down to the bone.
Doctors had to pull splinters
out of her skull, her left eye was
swollen shut and her left eyebrow
was split in two. She also had
several defensive wounds on her
arms and her right hand where
she had tried to block the blows
being rained down on her.
She spent a week in hospital.
Jess’ face is scarred which troubles
her considerably.
“It is hard because I look in the
mirror and I see scars every day.
And every time I see the scars, I

see him,” she said breaking down
into tears.
“I don’t want to see him, but I
do and there is nothing I can do
about it.
“People say you can hardly
notice them, but I can. He has
succeeded in making me ugly as
such, because for the past year, I
have felt that and that is what he
wanted. He wanted to destroy me
as a person.
“That’s what he has left me
with, he has left me with scars.”
Jess, who is Australian, met
Setu in Brisbane at a church
programme.
“We started messaging and fell
in love. It wasn’t the whole whirlwind
romance with sparks flying.
We were compatible at the time
and now here we are,” she said.
They married in November
2003 and moved to Christchurch
in April 2013 for work. Setu was a
painter/plasterer.
They separated in October 2015
and were divorced last month –
while Setu was in
custody awaiting
sentence.
She had taken out
a protection order
against him in January
2016.
She doesn’t regret
meeting or marrying
him because she
has “three beautiful
children” out of it.
Jess has decided
to go public about
her ordeal to show
the public how
brutal domestic
violence can be and
the tragedy it leaves
behind.
“I’ll be a voice
that people will
eventually want to
tell to shut up,” she said of her
determination to keep domestic
violence in the public eye.
“Don’t be scared about going
to the police and asking for help
. . . they are amazing. You have

ECan spent
$5m
on comms
• By Bridget Rutherford
ENVIRONMENT Canterbury
spent more than $5 million on
communicating with the public and
within the organisation in the last
financial year.
Data released under the Local
Government Official Information
and Meetings Act showed over the
2015-16 financial year, ECan spent
$5,620,391 on its communications
and external relations department.
The figure had jumped from
$3,422,727 in the 2010-11 financial
year.
ECan said that made up staff
wages, communications advice,
promotional design and production,
printing and advertising, web development,
photography and video,
media monitoring, market research
and behaviour change, and sponsorship
and community events.
It also included operational
expenses such as travel, phones,
learning and development, and
stationery.
On top of that, the figures show
it spent $147,626 on external public
relations, compared to $38,085 in
2010-2011.
That was for when “one-off”
pieces of communication work
were done by external contractors,
or for when “specialist skills” were
required.
ECan communications manager
Tafflyn Bradford-James said during
the 2015-16 financial year, there
were 22.6 full-time equivalent staff.
They covered roles including web
design, graphic design and print
production, youth engagement,
internal and external communications,
media liaison, marketing and
behaviour change campaigns, and
industry and stakeholder engagement.
Nine of those were communications
advisers.
Ms Bradford-James said as part of
a restructure earlier this year, it now
had an allocation of 25 FTE staff in
the section.
She said at present, only 21 of
those FTEs were filled.
Heartfelt bid to keep teens safe
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
PARENTS OF two of the three
teenagers killed in a high-speed
crash have reached out to high
school students in a bid to
get them to think about the
consequences of their road
safety choices.
Samuel Drost, Cole Hull and
Lily Moore – all aged 15 – died
late on Christmas Day, when a
car they were passengers in failed
to take a corner and crashed into
trees near Southbridge.
The 14-year-old unlicensed
driver has pleaded guilty to
causing the deaths of the three
teenagers as well as causing injury
to a fourth passenger in the
car at the Christchurch Youth
Court recently.
As part of a road safety
programme, a moving talk
from parents Marcus Moore
and Tracey Drost was made at

Meteorologists are expecting
a fairly normal start to winter,

National Institute of Water
and Atmosphere forecasting

said it was too early to predict
what the full winter forecast
would be.
But he said the beginning of
June would be on the “milder
side.”
He said the average maximum
temperature in Christchurch
in June was 12 deg C, with the

could be slightly warmer.

councillors were there for support.
“We felt it was important, they
were aware of the reality of what
can happen as many of them
were off-course because of the
connection,” he said.
Samuel attended Lincoln
High, while Lily was a student at
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School
and Cole went to Ellesmere
College.
Mr Rout said the time since
the accident had been tough

school has support in place.

talking to the students as both

“You do have responsibility as
a passenger to assist the driver
and not distract them,” he said.

He said because NIWA’s
forecasts were based on precipitation,
it was difficult to say
whether we could expect much
snow this winter.
“It would appear that early in
June if you are having slightly
milder temperatures, there may
be a slightly lower chance for
snowfall up on the ranges.”
MetService meteorologist Lisa
Murray said in the short-term
heading into winter the weather
was looking normal.
“We are going to get some
cooler temperatures and that is
quite normal.”
She said MetService could
only predict the short-term forecast,
so could not give an overall
view of what we can expect from
the season.
Next week would be slightly
drier than normal for this time
of the year, she said.

Last week The Star asked whether part of
Hagley Park should be sealed for a temporary
Christchurch Hospital car park. Here is what city
leaders, readers and the public had to say

Megan Woods

spokeswoman:
“Controversy
usually causes
delay, so there
is no point
embarking on a
proposal when all
the signals you’re
receiving are
that you‘re going
to get bogged
down in a huge
public debate.
Let’s instead be
pragmatic about
this and think
about solutions
that will fix the
problem without
causing a big
argument.
Martin Meehan –

spokesman:
This is temporary
and for the greater
good so I wouldn’t
be out there with
placards. Logic
would say yes,
it’s an ideal spot
to use, but you
have to say for
goodness sake
where is the
planning around
parking? This
should never have
been allowed to
happen.
Anna Crighton
– health board
member:
I would approve of
it with conditions:
That there would
be no permanent
asphalting,
that it was a set,
finite period, and
with security. I do
understand that
Hagley Park is
sacrosanct, but
there are times
when adversity
kicks in and it is
needed, so long
as it is temporary

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
Fujitsu HOt Heat Pump HOt Deal
at a HOt HOt Price
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.

Garry Moore - former mayor:
We do have a parking problem but
that is not the solution. The park is
too important for little incremental

just because something’s controversial

Facts about Hagley Park
Duncan Webb
- Labour Christchurch
Central
candidate:
There is merit in
considering it. If
this is the best
option for the next
three years let’s
not be precious
about it, but let’s
also ask what
other sites in the
area are not going
to be used for the
next three years,
because I believe
there are a few.
Deon Swiggs
- Christchurch
Central Ward city
councillor:
In principal I’m
not against but
I’m not for it as a
knee-jerk reaction.
My biggest gripe
is that we just
spent $1.2 million
upgrading it. [Mr
Meates] could
have come and
asked us, and
options were
available. If
we’d had that
conversation
before we spent
all this money
on redoing the
grounds, the
conversation
could have been
different.
Simon Templeton
- Age Concern
chief executive:
The park and ride
is really good
service but it isn’t
usable for people
who have even
just moderate
mobility issues,
so a solution is
needed for the
short, medium
and long term.
There were strong
opinions both
ways even just
around the office
this morning, but
that’s no reason to
avoid a debate.
Christin Watson
- NZ Nurses
Organisation
Christchurch
organiser:
We don’t think
it needs to be
considered,
because there’s
plenty of land
around that
could be used for
something like
a park and ride
scheme. We see
more medium
to longer term
options being
needed, because
it’s going to take
a long time to get
a parking building
built.
Trish Adams -
CDHB Consumer
Council
chairwoman:
“The fields
on the corner
were recently
regrassed and it’s
looking superb
so it would be
a shame to dig
it up, but I think
in amongst the
trees would be
an imminently
suitable location,
and it would be
away from the
playing fields and
the area used
for the rescue
helicopter.
Yani Johanson -
city councillor:
Council
has spent a
considerable
amount of
money repairing
and upgrading
the sports fields
on the Hospital
Corner, so I don’t
think people
would be keen
to see that
money wasted
for a temporary
car park. Any
money spent is
better going into
the permanent
solution.
•More reaction, pages 14 and 15
•Why hasn’t a permanent parking
building been built?
Land has been set aside for a
hospital parking building on Antigua
St. But the site is used for services like
the hospital boilers, so it cannot be
cleared until they can be moved to
new buildings. That is set to take about
three years.
•Who is responsible for building it?
The Ministry of Health appointed
Hospital Redevelopment Partnership
Group. The CDHB does not get any
funding for car parking, and the money
it has already spent on services like the
Park and Ride has had to come out of
it’s budgets for health services.
•Is using Hagley Park for parking
legal?
The Christchurch City Reserves
Empowering Act 1971 classes Hagley
park a “Reserve for recreation
purposes”. It has a section specifically
about parking, where it says the city
council shall not “appropriate any part
of Hagley Park for parking places for
vehicles” without the consent of the
Minister of Conservation.
But a spokeswoman for Minister of
Conservation Maggie Barry said that
would not apply because it would be
“classed as a temporary use and as
such would not need the minister’s
consent.”
Hagley Park has been temporarily
used for other things before,
including for hospital parking after the
February 22, 2011, earthquake, and to
commercially grow potatoes during the
Great Depression in the 1930s.

The Star
Hospital car parking
Readers respond to last
week’s article on whether
Hagley Park’s Hospital
Corner could be used to
temporary alleviate the
Christchurch Hospital car
parking crisis
Glenis Haley – For many
years now, I have been at a loss
to understand why Hagley Park
has not been mooted as a car
park for patients and visitors
at the Christchurch Hospital.
Obviously the ‘powers that be’
have never been either a patient,
especially on an outpatient basis,
or a visitor to very sick friends or
relatives.
My husband and I have,
unfortunately, been regular outpatients
attending Christchurch
Hospital over the past years and
parking our vehicle has become
a real nightmare, especially since
the earthquakes and the new
construction on the site.
Recently, we have been using
the Park and Ride car park in
Deans Ave, but it is not always
satisfactory for us elderly people,
especially when it is raining
and the puddles in the car park
are very deep and the surface is
definitely not fit for purpose. The
wait for the shuttle (at both ends)
is not convenient for the sick and
elderly either.
I feel very passionate about the
use of part of Hagley Park opposite
the hospital for parking, even
if it is only on a temporary basis
until enough permanent parks
can be supplied.
A decision on this proposal is
required urgently especially as
winter is upon us and the problem
seems to be getting worse.
Jenny Williams – Hagley
Park should absolutely not be
used for temporary hospital
parking. Already the park has
been eroded for the new hospital
building. Hagley Park should
be sacrosanct and not gradually
eaten away, whether it is for a
permanent or temporary car
park. There is plenty of room in
the old sale yards.
In addition, many trees in
that area of the park were lost
following the earthquake, we
can’t afford to lose more due to
compaction over their root area
that is likely to be caused by cars.
Shirley Coffey – I think
we should be building a new
multi-storied car park on Hagley
Park. It should be plant covered
and have a roof top garden that
is open to all to use. This would
also help to cover parking for
sports at the park.
Don’t just do a temporary fix
build something that we can all
enjoy for its plant covered beauty
and show us the way some of the
big cities in this world can make
beautiful green spaces from what
would be an ugly building.
Phyllis Parker – I think
Hagley Park should be used for
temporary parking. We need
a safe place for nursing staff to
park and relieve the stress of
finding a park to visit loved ones.
It can be returned to its park
setting in the future. Since the
earthquakes we as Cantabrians
are used to compromises. Just
do it.
Murray Spackman – If
there is a possibility that a
temporary arrangement could
be arrived at that allows car
parking closer to the hospital
with say 120min limits to ensure
that it is available for short-term
visiting I believe it would be very
beneficial for Christchurch while
current rebuilding continues.
This is currently a major
issue for hospital visitors that
would take some heat off the
current car park on Deans Ave
and would need to be available
for three years at least until the
current rebuild is finished. Well
done for bringing this up for
discussion.
Shona Tooley – As an
oncology patient I find that
the parking is shocking at the
hospital.
We would love to see Hagley
used for parking. Bad enough
having to go there for appointments,
finding a car park adds to
the stress.
Yes, yes, yes, we need the park.
Mary Wynn-Williams – Yes
I have wondered why no one has
mentioned this before.
It would be a brilliant temporary
solution to the hospital
parking problem.
Diane Brenchley – No way
. . . Hagley Park was a gift to
the people of Christchurch for
recreation not car parking. Yes
I’ve had to park miles away to
use the hospital too but still
rather do that than start carving
up our treasured park.
Peggy Pickworth – Once
they start on Hagley Park there
will be no stopping them. Poor
town planning is what has
caused the problem. Why do we
have to have a sport centre built
so near the hospital. Ideal area
for a car park.
Steph Thorpe – I think
if there is going to be temp
carpark it needs to be for staff
only and they need a pass,
otherwise it will just be full of
anyone working in the city that
have to park further away at the
moment (and I am not staff, just
saying).
Mike Smith – We have so
much flat property land available.
Make this a priority and
allocate existing property land
to it. Get your town planning
right and it will be fine. Once
converted from a park, there
will be no going back . . . ever.
Emma Reeves – Temporary
parking was used in Hagley
Park following the February 22,
2011, earthquake its unfortunate
this could not remain as it was
ideal. There is a huge area near
the horticulture centre towards
Deans Ave that is hiding behind
the trees . . . there are huge dirt
piles . . . would be ideal place for
some parking and no one would
really be able to see it from the
road. Parking is definitely a huge
issue for staff looking after your
loved ones but also for relatives
and patients who should not
have to stress about finding a
car park to visit their loved ones
or attend appointments! This
stressful issue needs sorting out.
Staff do the best they can with
either biking or taking the bus
or like myself and park and do
a 20min walk, but it’s less than
ideal for shift workers.
Cherry Cornelius – Yes for
God’s sake yes, the only thing
surprising about asking if it’s
a good option is that it hadn’t
been done years ago. Enough
bloody talking and build a
decent car park in Hagley Park.
We need it desperately.
Sarah Williams – I say yes.
To many, Wilson car parking
is a joke. Staff at Christchurch
Hospital need this, and surveillance.
How big is Hagley Park
and, what if the have to give up
some land for a “short time,” its
land, do what’s right.
Bernsa Laurie – Yes! There
is much more open red zone
land that we could use as parks
and sports grounds that have
much better accessibility and
parking. If you did it as a trade –
one green area for another, that
could work.
Jill Allott – No. Hagley park
needs to stay as a people park
– forever! No temporary car
parks there ever. For goodness
sake . . . most of the rest of the
old Christchurch is a car park.
Never take a beautiful place and
make it into a car park. Surely to
goodness your planners have a
modicum of planning.

Reporter Ashleigh Monk asks people going to Christchurch Hospital what they thought of the parking situation
and whether using Hagley Park was a good idea. To watch the video at www.star.kiwi
Bruce Matthews,
retiree,
Beckenham:
As much as I
don’t want to
see it being used
for vehicles and
stuff, I think as
a temporary
measure for a
couple of years,
most definitely it
would help a lot
of people.
Chris Lyons,
service deli
assistant, New
Brighton:
It would save
us having to
walk; [my wife]
is pregnant, so it
would help her
. . . let’s say if she
went into labour
and I had to go
and find a car
park, and I missed
the birth . . . what
am I meant to do?
Jenny Lodge,
handyperson/
gardener, South
New Brighton:
It’s quite a way
to walk. We’ve
come in an hour
early just in case
we couldn’t get
parked anywhere,
so it would be
good.
John Calvert,
teacher, Halswell:
I think that would
be a very good
idea, because
there are lots of
people coming
in and out. I
mean, I’m only in
for a very quick
appointment, I’m
coming for work
and I want to be
able to get in and
out quickly, and
the last time I was
here I spent 30min
finding a park. It
was awful.
John Groome,
carpenter,
Woodend:
Yes, because it’s
very hard trying
to get a park
without having to
walk a couple of
kilometres.
Kent Myers,
unemployed,
Ferrymead:
It depends what
happens to the
park. I’d like to
keep the park as
a park . . . but it
[parking situation]
is a lot harder than
what I remember.
Peter Lodge,
handyman/
gardener, South
New Brighton:
It’s always a
difficult one with
parking and
everything . . . for
a big hospital, not
being able to park
nearby is not so
easy. At least we
can walk to it, but
for elderly people
and things like
that, it’s a bit more
difficult.
Beris Whelan,
retiree, Illam:
Hagley Park is so
sacrosanct for
this whole city,
and it must not
be interfered with
anymore. It would
be a disaster . . .
they’ll have to find
other alternatives,
there are plenty
of places where
they could have a
car park.
David Lloyd – Why not
use the city council staff car
park in Hereford St as it is
close to hospital. It is a vast
expanse. City council is trying
to get citizens to ride a bike or
use the bus to get to work. So
let’s see the city council lead
the way and let the hospital
use this car park. I am sure
the mayor, councillors and
council staff will give up
their ratepayer funded car
parks and ride or get a bus to
work instead so that hospital
visitors, patients and staff can
have a handy park.
Marilyn Thornton – Yes,
Hagley park is good enough
for the new cricket ground
it’s good enough for hospital
parking. The free bus service
from Deans Ave is brilliant, a
big thank you to the hospital
board for putting on the free
bus, only pay for parking, it’s
only about a 5min van ride,
and it’s cheap but Christchurch
needs parking close to
the hospital.
Anna Henderson – That’s
exactly why people opposed
the cricket stadium being
allowed to go in the park, because
they knew that it would
set a precedent and soon every
bloody thing would be taking
a piece of the park. Now
there’s no leg to stand on to say
no to people wanting a piece
of it because everyone can say
“well they let the cricket people
do it, why not us?” We’ll
have no park left soon.

Corner into parking, you

who have to drive more than

Viewpoint
ONE OF the first things I did
as Minister supporting Greater
Christchurch Regeneration
was commit to keeping the
community as up-to-date as
possible on the regeneration
process.
As Minister, I’m provided a
great deal of data about how the
regeneration is progressing.
The information comes from
a variety of sources and covers
every aspect of life in greater
Christchurch, including housing,
employment, education, wellbeing
and infrastructure.
I want to ensure this data is
readily available so we all know
where we’re making progress,
and in some case, where we’re
falling short. The 2010 and 2011
quakes altered our path forever,
so we’re not always going to align
with what’s happening in other
regions, or even nationally.
The first data snapshot Greater
Christchurch Dashboard — Housing
was released over the weekend
and features average house
price and weekly rental cost data
Nicky Wagner
Keeping people informed
from the Ministry of Business,
Innovation and Employment.
It shows the average weekly
rental cost dropped from $400 in
April 2016 to $386 in April 2017.
At its peak, the average weekly
rental cost rose to $437 postearthquake.
The data indicates we’re reaching
an equilibrium in terms of
supply and demand.
Data is an incredibly important
resource that can help us make
better decisions for the future of
Christchurch. The overall picture
is big and complex but this series
of snapshots will help make
things clearer in the coming
weeks and months.
I also intend to release a quarterly
report containing comprehensive
economic and social data
about greater Christchurch. This
will be a significant report that
further ensures we’re accurately
and transparently tracking the
regeneration process.
•Nicky Wagner is Minister
supporting Greater
Christchurch Regeneration
June Rhodes writes
about Morgan Jones who
featured in The Star on
April 20
In reference to the article on
Morgan Jones I see that he has
grown up into a fine young man.
It was sad that he never
regained his sight but good to
see what he has achieved and
what he is doing with his life.
He is a real inspiration to others
with a disability – his dancing
and other activities – and says
he is not afraid of heights just
scared of the dark, so obviously
he has a sense of humour.
It’s a wonderful idea to create a
sanctuary for native birds where
he can hear their lovely calls.
This was a terrible tragedy
when he fell from the train, and
should never have happened. I
wept to see that lovely little boy
with Jason Gunn in the newspaper
of November 28, 1994. It
was heart-breaking. I remember
too, he still loved playing with his
train set, and said ‘could they put
the light on,’ which was so sad.
I do hope that he manages to
get some work.
The reason for writing is that
in the throwes of moving house,
I have found a lot of old newspapers,
and cuttings of Morgan.
I see he has a lovely dog as a
companion. I always contribute
to the blind and puppy dog appeal,
and will think of Morgan.
I don’t think this will be able
to be passed on to him, but I
wish him well and the best of
luck for the future.
The city council says it
will not make any more
contentious road layout
changes in the central
city until there is general
consensus on the plans
Judy Keen – St Asaph St
is so narrow now that when a
parked car’s door is opened you
have to swerve around it into
the other lane or stop. Also,
yesterday on the way to work, I
saw the driver of a sport utility
vehicle attempting to park and
the driver needed two parking
spaces to get in, while the driver
of a small car who attempted to
get in between two parked cars
only partially succeeded. It’s a
nightmare driving beside a bus
or truck as they take up more
than their lane and you are so
close. The bus driver has to utilise
two lanes to turn a corner.

Plan to close loopholes
Amanda Frend – If they are
making streets narrower, then
how can one move out of way
of an ambulance, fire truck and
police. There’s no room to move.
Did they not factor those things
in as well?
Wayne Nicholson – But
has the left hand told the right
hand. Confusion will still reign.
Maree Clayton – What are
the mayor and city councillors
on? Ludicrous, waste of money
and time!
James David Foote – The
St Asaph St drama is a storm in
a tea cup.
Port Hills National
list MP Nuk Korako and
Christchurch Central
candidate Duncan Webb
have been ordered to take
down several election
signs, because they are too
big
Jack Thompson – That’s
not campaigning, trust someone
to complain. That site is Nuk’s
site in Beckenham where he
works from his mobile office!
It clearly states and shows his
contact details – at least he’s out
in the community and wanting
to help.
Jake Ranginui – And the
other places his signs are placed?
Also offices? He has a lot of offices.
Andrew Lamont – Typical
National. Make all the rules,
don’t follow any of them.
Andrew Johnson – It’s the
lost luggage law man.
LAST WEEKEND I was excited
when Andrew Little showed very
clearly that he and Labour are on
the side of first-home buyers.
I know that this will help out
so many of the people I see every
time I am out and about in the
Wigram electorate who are
giving up on the dream of ever
owning their own place.
What we’re going to do is shut
down the tax loopholes that
speculators have been receiving
and use the money saved to help
make 600,000 homes warmer
and healthier over the next 10
years.
Losses on rental properties
will be ring-fenced, meaning
they will no longer be able to
be used to reduce the tax that
speculators owe on other income.
Last year, this loophole meant
that speculators and foreign
buyers avoided paying about $150
million in taxes.
Removing it will create a level
playing field for home buyers
and help families get a fair shot
at buying a place of their own.
The savings from closing the
speculators’ loophole will go
into helping both homeowners
and landlords make their houses
warm and healthy, with grants
of up to $2000 per dwelling
towards upgrading insulation
and heating.
What we heard from Andrew
was a fresh plan to tackle the
housing crisis. This is in clear
contrast to the Government
which is playing the old smoke
and mirrors game.
Only days after our
announcement the Government
decided to reheat some of
their already-announced
housing initiatives, including
the Riccarton Racecourse
Development, in a vain attempt
to make it look like it was finally
doing something meaningful.
Sadly it is not.

Red zone ideas that you may
Some ideas for the red zone are well known – like the
Flatwater Sports Lake, or Eden NZ eco-domes. But others,
many developed by local people, have not had much
publicity Gabrielle Stuart profiles some of the lesser known
ideas
WHITE
WATER: A
similar artificial
course at the
US National
Whitewater
Centre.
Nature Playground
Network
Rocks, logs, trees and streams
laid out to allow children to play
creatively, challenge themselves
and explore nature.
That is the vision of a group
of Christchurch parents and
educators, who have developed
plans for a range of nature playgrounds.
They are designed to be
flexible to fit a range of other
potential red zone proposals.
One proposal is to create them in
small spaces along a cycleway or
walkway through the red zone so
families exploring the area can
stop to rest or play there.
Several sites have also been
looked at where larger nature
playgrounds could be created
with a specific theme – like in
Walnut Tree Park where a stand
of willow trees could be pruned
and shaped into a play area, or in
wetland areas where rocks, logs
and water areas could be added
to help children explore.
The project has attracted a
group of supporters, but no costing
or site-specific design work
has been done.
White Water Course
An artificial white water park,
designed with courses of different
difficulties, some for beginners
and others for internationallevel
white water competitions.
The idea was initially developed
before the earthquakes by a
group of Christchurch kayakers
and rafters.
They have since designed it to
be incorporated into other red
zone proposals like the flat water
sports lake or surf park.
Deals could also be made
with other attractions, like the
mountain biking Christchurch
Adventure Park, to draw adventurous
visitors into the city.
The initial plan estimated
12-15ha would be needed for the
courses, walkways, buildings and
parking, but a detailed business
plan has not yet been done.
The cost of white water courses
built in other parts of the world
has ranged from $10 million to
$50 million.
More information can be
found at the group’s Wai Huka o
Waitaha Facebook page.
Community Food Growing
Network
A network of community gardens,
orchards and forage trails
throughout the red zone, bringing
the community together,
providing food to people in need
and keeping the area green.
Many groups have supported
and helped to develop the idea
from Edible Canterbury and
the Food Resilience Network to
the city council and Canterbury
District Health Board.
It could use many of the existing
fruit trees and gardens in
the red zone. It could also work
in with and around most other
nature-based ideas for the red
zone.

WALKIES: School of the Naked Dog trainer Blair Anderson
has championed the idea for a dog park at Porritt Park.
Barkerton Dog Park
A plan to redesign Porritt
Park into a dog park with a dog
trail, training equipment and a
“museum of dog” and learning
centre for children.
The idea was floated by School
of the Naked Dog trainer Blair
Anderson. He hoped it could
become a national hub for all
things canine, from research
to conventions, making
Christchurch a “dog city” and
“the hub of a country built on
the back of the dog”.
He also referenced research
showing walking dogs may help
people to be physically, mentally
and socially healthier and
happier.
He floated it at the United
States Association of Pet Dog
Trainers conference in 2011, and
also got the support of visiting
United Kingdom “canine access
adviser” Stephen Jenkinson.
Lower Avon Heritage
Recovery Trail
From a Maori trade site to
gardens planted by Christchurch’s
first mayor William
‘Cabbage’ Wilson – the trail
along the Avon would tell the
city’s story.
The idea was created by tour
guide Diana Madgin and is now
supported by a team of about 25
specialists and groups. It would
run across eight sites from the
central city to the estuary, each
featuring stories from a different
period in the city’s history.
Some sites have been chosen
for their gardens and others for
the historic buildings which
could be restored.
SKIS:
Wakepark NZ
in Ashburton
uses similar
cable
technology
to a park
proposed for
the red zone.
Christchurch CablePark
A park where people could
wakeboard or waterski using a
cable, rather than being towed
behind a boat.
It would make the sports more
accessible to people who have no
access to a boat.
The different difficulty levels
would also make it easier
and safer for beginners to
learn.
The idea was first floated in
2008 by a group of Canterbury
University students and has
been supported by Sports
Canterbury.
It would use a New Zealand
designed and built Two-Tower
cable system.
Godley Head
campground
goes great guns
• By Bridget Rutherford
GODLEY HEAD campground
will stick around after more than
double the number of visitors
originally expected have stayed
there.
The Department of Conservation
opened the campsite in
October on the former military
compound at the entrance to Lyttelton
Harbour. DOC Christchurch
operations manager Andy
Thompson said it had been going
“a lot better than expected”.
He said eight months in 1008
people had stayed there, making
1257 guest nights.
“I was expecting about 500 visitors
max in the first year.”
Godley Head was a World
War 2 coastal defence battery. It
closed in 1963, but three large gun
emplacements and seven military
buildings remain.
The emplacements were damaged
in the earthquakes, but Mr
Thompson said work was being
done to try and repair them.
The campground offers 25 nonpowered
campsites, with flush
toilet facilities and running water.
A caretaker lives on site.
It costs $13 per adult a night to

Hillmorton High School
The Star
Former student sings
Hillmorton’s praises
On Thursday May 4, I had
the pleasure of speaking
to a number of Halswell
Primary students about what
they could expect at high
school. Whichever school
you decide is right for your
son or daughter, the next five
years will be a challenging and
exciting time for them.
Seven years ago, my family
was in the same situation as
many of you find yourselves in
now. We had recently moved
to Christchurch and that year,
while I was in year eight, we
went to many open nights,
before finally deciding on
Hillmorton High.
Today, I could not be happier
with the decision my parents
made. Although I knew
no-one else when I started,
staff and students alike were
welcoming and supportive. I
quickly made friends and, over
the next five years, was able to
participate in everything from
dragonboating to the national
Shakespeare championships.
Hillmorton always encourages
and supports its students
academically, as well. I gained
an Outstanding Scholarship
in Geography and the
prestigious University of Auckland Scholarship in
James Adams speaks of the wonderful and
rounded education he received while at
Hillmorton High School
addition to my sterling NCEA results – and yet, I wasn’t
even the best. The student who won Dux in my year
had been excelling in university papers, again with the
Activities enjoyed at Big Day Out
Activities enjoyed at
the Big Day Out at
Victoria Park included
geography based study
(above), photography
(right and below) and
environmentally themed
art installations (left).
www.hillmorton.school.nz
assistance of dedicated staff.
So rumours that “Hillmorton
isn’t very academic”,
or “Hillmorton students
don’t go to university” are
absolutely untrue. I would be
disappointed if anyone was
making decisions about their
children’s futures based on
this sort of hearsay.
In addition, Hillmorton’s small
size and diversity means
that it provides students with
a sort of education that no
other Christchurch school
could come close to. The
range of backgrounds and
skills that Hillmorton students
bring to the school mirrors
real life, where you have to
get along with your boss,
visiting tradespeople and
customers. New Zealand is
a diverse country, and it’s in
local schools like Hillmorton
that we can foster a shared
sense of community. Similarly,
Hillmorton’s size means no
student gets left behind.
In essence, you know what
is best for your child. I know
that the decision my parents
made worked for me, and I
ask you to seriously consider
Hillmorton.
Kind regards,
James Adams
University of Auckland student – Law & Politics
Hillmorton High student – 2011 to 2015
We had the first Big Day
Out for 2017 when Year 10

• By Jamie Morton
IN A world first,
Christchurch and British
scientists have
used satellite
images to calculate
the number
of endangered
albatrosses living
on remote and
inaccessible islands.
Researchers from
Canterbury Museum
and the British
Antarctic Survey have
shown that the highest
resolution satellite imagery
is capable of “seeing” these
birds from space, allowing
researchers to count them
on remote islands without
ever having to go there.
• By Lincoln Tan
Paul
Scofield
The study used the new
WorldView-3 satellite,
which can see objects
larger than 30cm.
The team developed
and tested
the accuracy of the
satellite-method by
counting individuals
on a well-studied
colony of wandering
albatross on South
Georgia, a remote
island south-east
of Argentina in the
southern Atlantic Ocean.
They then applied it to
the northern royal albatross,
a species that only
breeds in New Zealand.

A TEACHER who initially
denied smoking weed has
been brought before the
Education Council after
laboratory tests confirmed
he had cannabis in his
system.
Daniel Bruce McMillan
has been teaching at
Kingslea School (Te Puna
Wai o Tuhinapo) Youth
Justice residential facility
in Christchurch for six
terms since 2015.
The school provides
education to vulnerable
and at risk teens between
14 and 17.
McMillan returned a
positive drugs test during
an Education Council
competence process.
He initially denied that
he had consumed any cannabis
and cited weight loss
as a possible explanation
for the result.
But laboratory tests
confirmed recent cannabis
consumption, and
that weight loss could not
account for the positive
results.
McMillan finally admitted
that he had smoked
two cannabis cigarettes.
The disciplinary tribunal
ruled that what McMillan
did amounted to serious
misconduct.
It was also revealed
that a mandatory report
filed with the council in
2013 had raised concerns
around the teacher’s drugrelated
impairment in the
classroom.
That investigation resulted
in McMillan entering a
rehabilitative agreement,

Professor Paul Scofield,
Canterbury Museum’s
senior curator of natural
history.
“This technique will be
an invaluable global conservation
resource that can
give us near-real time information
about the status
of endangered species.
“The ground-breaking
image resolution of the
newly-available satellite
will provide a step change
in our ability to count
albatross, large birds and
other wildlife directly
from space without disturbance,
at potentially lower
cost and with minimal
logistical effort.”

Cannabis smoking
teacher disciplined
which included providing
negative drug tests every
three months.
“The tribunal noted that
while smoking cannabis
is not the most serious
example of illegal drug
use, it did occur while he
was subject to his previous
agreement with the
council,” the decision said.
The tribunal censured
the teacher and put
several conditions on
his practising certificate,
including having to
provide any prospective
employer with a copy
of the decision, and to
undergo random urine
tests.
McMillan also has to attend
drug counselling and
complete a drug counselling

Jacqueline Yoder
Teacher aims
Teacher Jacqueline Yoder has left one of the city’s most
prestigious private schools to help turn Linwood College
around. Bridget Rutherford spoke to her about why she
did it, being an investment banker and speaking Te Reo
PASSIONATE: Jacqueline Yoder
moved to Linwood College at the
start of this year.
PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS
So can you tell me what your role
at Linwood College is?
So I’m the head of learning area,
English. I’m also leader of gifted
and talented, and enrichment
programmes. One of the new
moves in education is communities
of learning. Rather than schools
being separated entities, schools
create connections between
them. Linwood College has two
communities of learning. We’ve
got the bays cluster of schools, and
the tamai cluster, which are the
schools near us such as Te Waka
Unua. One of the things I’ve been
doing is setting up a programme
whereby year six to eight students
from both partner primary
schools, and our year seven and
eight pupils, come to Linwood for
extension classes. We’ve just done
debating, and we will do maths,
science and culture and others.
Teachers from Linwood College
with particular expertise can work
with primary schools to build
everybody’s capacities. It’s a new
programme and it’s exciting to be
part of.
When did you start working at
Linwood College?
I started at the beginning of this
year. I came after spending 10 years
at St Andrew’s College. It’s been
fantastic so far, it’s such a great
school and we have wonderful
learners here. I loved St Andrew’s
as well. Linwood has such a diverse
environment, and I want to help
people see what a diverse and
vibrant school it is.
Why the move?
I had shadowed Richard
Edmundson (Linwood College
principal) as part of my masters in
leadership when he was principal
at Hornby High, and then I went
to Linwood for placement. I had
such a great time at St Andrew’s
but I wanted to go somewhere
where I could make a big difference
in the local community I live in,
because I’m from Corsair Bay. I
just feel Linwood is on the cusp
of incredible things. I feel really
privileged to be part of the journey.
I’ve also had a lot of involvement in
digital learning, so I wanted to be
involved in that.

to build up self-belief in students
Are there many differences
between the schools?
I think what I’ve learned more
is there are more similarities in
our learners than our differences.
They’re just as passionate about
their learning here. But cultural
diversity is the main difference.
For me I really focus hard on
building self-belief in students.
The learners here have incredible
problem solving skills. It’s about
building that self-belief and putting
in structures here so they
can express those views.
To put it bluntly, St Andrew’s
is one of the city’s most prestigious
private schools, and Linwood
has had its share of issues
over the last few years. Did you
see the move being challenging?
I’ve been here on placement before
so I knew the college. I think
I was ready for a bigger challenge.
When I came here, Richard
had such an influence here, and
so did acting principal Linda
Tame before him. So once I got
here there was a real readiness
for change. I’ve been really supported,
I’ve been able to develop
enrichment programmes and
every new initiative that we’ve
looked at putting in has been so
well supported. And since I have

is an example and a shining
light in secondary schooling in
New Zealand. We want Linwood
to be the benchmark. And I think
it can be, I wouldn’t be here if I
didn’t think that.
Where were you before St
Andrew’s?
I spent a period at St Bede’s
and before that almost 10 years
in London working as an investment
banker. It was good to have
that long overseas experience,
and then I was ready to come
home. While I was there and
outside the classroom I ended
up deciding that education was
for me. I’ve just completed my
masters in secondary school leadership.
I’ve always wanted to live
by the sea and we live in Corsair
Bay. I have three children, aged
14, 11 and eight.
So I guess when you’re not
working you’re a bit of a taxi
service.
I’ve got a lovely husband who
does a lot of that (laughs). I’m
pretty intensively focused here
at the moment. I love doing a lot
of running, I’ve done a couple of
half marathons, but for now I like
to call it maintenance running.
And I hear you are a Te Reo
speaker and teacher. What drew
you to that?
I have taught Te Reo in all my
roles up until now. I was head of
the Te Reo programme at St Andrew’s,
which I set up and ran. I
also taught it at St Bede’s. I think
that’s another reason why I came
to Linwood, even though I’m not
teaching it, there are lots of opportunities
to speak with my students.
I did Te Reo at university. I
would say I’m competent in it.
Why did you get into teaching
initially?
My father was a school principal.
It’s in the genes, I think I
was biologically predisposed. I
was always around teachers, even
when I left to get into banking,
I think my heart was always in
teaching.

Restoration takes step forward
SCULPTOR MARK Whyte
has carefully carved a replica
of the Robert Falcon Scott
statue’s leg – only to have it
deliberately broken.
Mr Whyte is one of the
experts involved in the
restoration of the
earthquake-damaged
statue of that
stood in Oxford
Tce for 100 years,
beofre it fell in the
February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
It was carved in
Carrara marble
by Scott’s widow,
Kathleen Scott,
to commemorate
his achievements in polar
exploration and as a tribute
to Scott and those who perished
with him on the return
journey from the South Pole
in 1912.
The statue is top-heavy
and weighs in at 2.5 tonne.
During the earthquake, it
snapped at its weakest point,
the ankles, in an uneven
break.
City council head of parks,
Andrew Rutledge, says the
Mark Whyte
repair is “tricky” because the
break is uneven.
“There’s been a lot of research
into how to go about
repairing it,” he says.
Consultant engineer Grant
Wilkinson, Mr Whyte and
others decided the
best method was
to drill into the
statue’s legs and
plinth and thread
carbon fibre rods
through the legs
to improve its
resilience should
there be future big
earthquakes. A
form of base isolation
will also be
installed on the plinth.
Before doing anything to
the statue, they needed to
know the technique would
work and that the work
could be done without causing
more damage.
So Mr Whyte carved a
replica of one of the statue’s
broken legs, also in Carrara
marble. He carefully
replicated the angles of the
break and, using the repair
technique that will be used
on the actual statue, joined
the two parts together.
Then he watched as his
work was put under increasing
pressure, to replicate the
force of a large earthquake,
until it broke.
“It’s not often that I
carve something just for
someone to break,” said Mr
Whyte.
“But we can’t practise
our technique on the actual
statue. This is the next-best
thing.”
The testing was carried
out at Holmes Solutions
in Hornby this week. Mr
Wilkinson says the testing
met all expectations. The test
involved rocking the replica
leg back and forth on its base
under incrementally increasing
loading.
“Our design target was to
withstand a 1.5-tonne load,
and we got to that with only
a couple of hairline cracks,”
he says. “That load can be
correlated to a one in 1000-
year earthquake event, and
with the added protection
of the base isolation in
the plinth, the statue will
survive a 1 in 2500-year
event.
After passing that test, the
replica leg was pushed to
breaking point.
“It didn’t collapse until
we got to a 3-tonne loading,
and that’s fantastic,” he says.
“A 3-tonne loading approximately
equates to a one in
2500-year event, and we got
well past that.”
Mr Wilkinson says the test
result means the team can
have confidence in its repair
strategy.
“That was our first big
hurdle,” he says. “Now we
can move on to the real
thing and prepare to work
on the statue.”
Mr Rutledge says the
Scott statue is more than
a landmark statue for
Christchurch.
“It’s an internationally
important statue,” he says.
“It’s critical that we do
everything possible to repair
and strengthen it without it
being damaged further.”
All going well, the statue
will be back on its plinth in
September.

TWO Christchurch activists
will be at a United Nations
conference in New York next
month to help negotiate a treaty
to ban nuclear weapons.
Kate Dewes ONZM and
Robert Green will be among
delegates from more than 130
nations aimed to finalise a treaty
that will stigmatise nuclear
weapons.
Unlike chemical and biological
weapons, nuclear weapons
have not yet been outlawed
internationally.
Lucy Stewart and Lyndon
Burford, also from New Zealand,
will also attend the conference
that runs from June 15 to
July 7.
Dr Dewes has served on
disarmament
advisory boards of
two UN Secretaries
General. She has
been active in the
anti-nuclear movement
for more than
40 years.
“I feel deeply
honoured to be
heading this team
of New Zealand
civil society delegates in the
most exciting breakthrough
towards a nuclear weapon-free
world since the 1996 World
Court judgement.”
Commander Green, a former
operator of British nuclear
weapons spoke
out against nuclear
weapons before the
first Gulf War in 1991.
“The boycott of
these negotiations by
the nuclear weapon
states shows how
much they fear a
prohibition treaty, not
least because of the
impact it will have on military
operators of nuclear weapons,”
he said.

Onions – the must-have vegetable
.kiwi
Thursday May 18 2017
VERSATILE: Stagger plant your onions for a constant source of
supply.
IT’S OFTEN been said that
autumn can be the best
season for planting, because
new plants have time to settle
in before they’re faced
with their first summer.
Here are some other tasks
you could be doing before
winter strikes.
Fertilising
Spread organic pellets
around shrubs and flowerbeds.
Feed citrus and other
fruit trees with citrus food.
Clear away weeds and
grass at the base and spread
a layer of organic mulch
over the root area (keeping
well clear of the trunk).
Remember, feeding with

YES, I know I harp on about
must-have vegetables and herbs.
The problem is, once you start
growing and enjoying homegrown
food, the list of must-haves
seems to grow too. But I really do
think onions are at the top of that
list and should be grown in every
vegetable garden.
In my vegetable garden I like to
grow red onions. But I don’t stop
there. I also stagger-plant spring
onions, regular brown pukekohe
longkeeper onions, pearl drop
onions and red bunching spring
onions.
For the newbie gardeners
out there, stagger planting (or
staggering) is when you plant a
few seedlings of the same varieties
(ie broccoli or onions) every
few weeks to ensure you have a
constant supply of produce ready
to harvest.
You can grow onions pretty
much anywhere in the garden –
they also grow well in pots. But
make sure the soil is friable (goes
crumbly when you touch it). If
it’s not, simply give it a good dig
over and add a bit of compost and
fertiliser.
Red and pukekohe longkeeper
onions need to be planted 10cm
high potash fertilisers
encourages blooming and,
even more importantly,
builds plants’ resistance to
disease (essential at this
time of year when fungal
problems are rife).
Lawn care
Give lawns a feed with a
long-lasting fertiliser. Early
autumn is the ideal time
to rejuvenate tired lawns.
Spike with a fork or a purpose-designed
lawn aerator
and oversow with a lawn
seed blend.
Pest control
Watch out for the autumn
influx of caterpillars.
White moths and butterflies
attack cabbages,
cauliflowers, rocket and
their relatives, vine moth
caterpillars are demolishing
grape leaves, flax caterpillar
is stripping leaf sections of
leaves, leaf rollers are knitting
leaves and emerging to
graze on apples, feijoas and
other fruit.
Use low toxic options for
controlling most caterpillars.
Grass grubs and porina,
too, can destroy lawns.
Treat weeds
Many annual weeds are
approaching maturity and
should be removed before
they have the chance to
spread their seeds.

in rows, make the rows 20cm

spinach in between the rows. Or
you could try growing spring
onions in between.

eight weeks, so will be out of the

spring onions around 4cm apart

Your larger onions will take

Don’t worry if they’re green,
you can still eat them.

Ambitious comedy based on politics

by Georgia O’Connor-

THERE IS no doubt the
Canterbury Repertory Theatre’s
latest show Yes, Prime Minister is
an ambitious one, and it is clear
its cast has worked very hard to
pull it off.
The show has merits, with an
aim to predominantly take the
mickey out of the British Government
and the cast executing
the show’s humour well.
But I feel this show would have
captivated far more laughter out
of the audience if it was modernised
and adapted to relate
to us Kiwis. The New Zealand
Government has provided much
material for creative writers
to work around with pulling
ponytails, flying sex toys and a
tragically failed flag referendum
which, for me, would have made
the show a lot funnier.

Ian Lester does a splendid job
of playing a prime minister who
appears to have minimal knowledge
about the state of affairs in

in his job.
The sassy, slick permanent secretary
Sir Humphrey played by
Raoul Neave is a favourite who
is hilariously transparent in his
bid to keep the Prime Minister
from knowing anything that is
going on.
Because Sir Humphrey is
known for being a master of
obfuscation, Neave is often
required to recite long-winded,
confusing sentences which
would have taken both a lot of
skill to memorise and execute –
Neave mastered this.
The shows’ jokes are very
clever but I didn’t find them relatable
– I don’t believe younger
audiences would quite appreciate
talent of the show.
But if you have a vested interest
in British politics the show
will be enjoyable.

ON TRACK: Check out the sights on a Forgotten World Adventure – a King Country rail route utilising converted golf carts. Dress warm for the tunnels though.
Forgotten world unforgettable
• By Mike Yardley
I RECENTLY ventured to the
eye-catching King Country to
sample the much-buzzed about
offerings of Forgotten World
Adventures.
Based in Taumarunui, this
incredibly enterprising tourism
venture boasts a platter of soft adventure
excursions, prising open
the stories, legends and unspoilt
scenery of the hinterland.
The pioneering founder of
Forgotten World Adventures, Ian
Balme, was a Waikato farmer who
dared to dream big, turning a
mothballed rusting eyesore into a
visionary business.
In 2012, he secured a 30-year
lease from KiwiRail to operate
semi-guided tours along the
142km decommissioned line
between Okahukura and Stratford,
studded with 24 tunnels and
92 bridges.
I joined the 5 Tunnel RailCart
Tour, a four-hour return romp
from Taumarunui. I was struck
by the mounds of pumice and
mud that had been painstakingly
dug off the tracks, after ploughing
down hillsides in the April
rainstorms.
Our guide remarked that the
prohibitive costs of constant track
maintenance underpinned Kiwi-
Rail’s decision to pull the plug on
the line’s operation in 2010.
The safety briefing included
a beginner’s guide on how to
“drive” the railcarts – converted
golf carts, petrol-powered and
limited to a top speed of 22km/h.
The commercial glory of the
Forgotten World region may have
long faded but the wrap-around
COMFORTABLE:
Stay overnight
at the Forgotten
World Motel.
scenery is deliriously good.
Animals vastly outnumber
people in these parts, as we
tootled by goats, deer, alpacas and
happy herds of cows on elevated
pastures, while flocks of sheep
were crowd-wrangled by sheepdogs.
But the undeniable highlight
of riding these storied rails are
the tunnels, including the 1500m
tunnel.
Boring through these tunnels
and admiring their damp, jet
black walls, illuminated by the
headlights on our carts was absolutely
thrilling. Wrap up warm –
they can be bone-chillingly cold.
Clattering along the tracks in
our carts, curling through valleys
and creased hills, the countryside
is sprinkled with clutches of ramshackle
houses and dilapidated
farm buildings.
They are vestiges of the boom
times, when primary industries
like timber-milling and coalmining
thrived. It’s sobering to
reflect on the dramatic population
changes in some of these
settlements.
We stopped for scrumptious
home-made snacks in the sleepy
village of Matiere. When the line
opened 80 years ago, it was home
to 750 residents. Now, there’s
only a couple of dozen locals and
housing is dirt cheap. A rating
valuation of $15,000 is not
uncommon.
Information posts along the
route, complete with historical
photographs, illustrate how bustling
many of these lineside communities
used to be. Rail travel
has always exuded romanticism.
The supreme sense of scenic
intimacy is not matched by road
travel and the novelty of piloting
your own passage along the tracks
is an undeniable winner with the
Kiwi love affair with anything
DIY.
Forgotten World Adventures
offers a variety of touring options.
The 20 Tunnel Tour is a 10-hour
affair reaching Whangamomona.
“The Ultimate” is a two-day
tour spanning the full 142km
length of the line, all the way to
Stratford, after sleeping overnight
in Whangamomona.
In addition to the railcarts, you
can also try your hand at the New
Zealand-made RailBikes, with
side by side seating, on the 5 Tunnel
and 10 Tunnel tours.
Only a moderate level of fitness
is needed. I also took a ride on the
Forgotten World Jet for a flavour
of the beauty, reverence and heritage
of the Wanganui River.
My driver/guide was Robert
Carter, a local legend who has
been guiding visitors along the
river for 35 years. He pointed out
to me the astonishing amount
of volcanic material, discharged
by Taupo and Ruapehu, that
has stamped its presence on the
landscape.
Forgotten World’s new custombuilt
15-seater jetboat operates
various excursions including
a 232km return journey to the
Bridge to Nowhere, and on the
multi-day excursions, she’ll zip
you all the way down to Wanganui
city.
In fact, Forgotten World
Adventures operate the longest
commercial jetboat rides in the
Southern Hemisphere. If you’re
taking an overnight excursion,
be sure to spend a night in
the self-proclaimed Republic
of Whangamomona and get
your passport stamped at the
Whangamomona Hotel. It’s truly
one of New Zealand’s legendary
watering holes.
While in Taumarunui, my head
hit the pillow at the Forgotten
World Motel (formerly known as
the Hilton.) My well-appointed
unit was clean, quiet and toasty,
the beds are cloud-comfortable
and there’s free
wi-fi.

• By Ross Kiddie
IT WAS only a matter of
time before Lexus’ new
2-litre turbocharged engine
stretched across more
product.
The four-cylinder unit
first arrived in the Lexus
NX sport utility vehicle, it
then found its way into the
IS sedan, and it is an option
in the RC, a two-door sport
coupe and, as you would
guess, it is badged RC200t.
I’ve long been an RC
series fan, the 350 with
its 3.5-litre V6 engine is a
stunner, it delivers vivid
performance and fits
well with the concept of
manageable power and
reasonable economy. The
same could be said of the
new 200t, it has stunning
economy (7.3l/100km or
39mpg) and its 180kW
(5800rpm) is more than
adequate for the RC’s
concept.
Sure, it gives way 53kW
to the 350, but that is
negligible, it’s not often you
can exploit an engine’s true
potential, and the RC200t
delivers honest power and
still imparts the fun factor.
Lexus also rates the
twin-camshaft, 16-valve
unit with 350Nm of torque,
and if you take into account
the areas where maximum
torque is produced –
1650rpm to 4400rpm
respectively – it has a solid
flow of energy across the
rev band.
There’s a global trend
towards smaller capacity
turbocharged engines
and Lexus’ entry is a true
gem, it is smooth, silent
and very flexible. It works
unimpeded through an
eight-speed automatic
transmission; the latter
provides a seamless ratio
spread and changes which
are almost undetectable,
bar the needle shift on the
tachometer.
In true sports car
fashion, the RC200t drives
through the rear wheels
which is pretty much as
Lexus hallmark, and it
offers an involving driving
experience.
There is something
about rear-wheel-drive
which contributes to a pure
handling feel, encouraging
driver input. You also get
a deliberate feel of control
from the rear with the fully
independent multiple links
controlling suspension
movement and keeping the
wheels in constant contact
with the ground, that on
LEXUS RC200T: True touring car.
top of the most amazing
feedback from the front.
While it is like steering
on velvet, there is definite
feel which encourages
quick turn-in, it is forceful
yet delicate in the same
movement.
I took the test car on
the gorgeous road to Lake
Coleridge Village. On that
road there are a mixture
of corners, fast and slow,
which really tests chassis
control, the RC200t served
to prove it is a true touring
car. It sits low at just
1395mm; consequently,
there is a low centre of
gravity, so body movement
is well contained.
• Price – Lexus RC200t,
$102,900
• Dimensions – Length,
4695mm; width,
1840mm; height,
1395mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
rear-wheeldrive,
1998cc, 180kW,
350Nm, eight-speed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 7.5sec
• Fuel usage –
7.3l/100km
The spring and damper
rates are a mix of what is
needed to control balance
and allow for freedom and
absorption for comfort.
When powering out of a
corner, there is just enough
power to test grip at the
rear. In saying that there
is plenty of grip on offer
through sticky Bridgestone
Potenza sport specification
tyres (265/35 x 19in), and
with the traction control
settings there is little to
suggest the RC200t would
oversteer, although that
could be manufactured
by disengaging the TCS.
I don’t do that in any car,
and the RC200t can still be
an engaging drive without
making it twitchy at the
rear.
It is also a car which uses
different size tyres front to
rear, the combination of
grip and control, along with
the involving nature of the
steering has an end result of
desire, the 200t is a driver’s
car of true genius.
It looks the part too, the
edgy, coupe-type styling is
eye-catching and suggests
definite sporty appeal.
Inside, there is the sporty/
luxury combination which
Lexus does so well; it is
well specified with all
of the Lexus trim detail
that makes the brand so
appealing.
In terms of figures, the
Lexus RC200t delivers
the goods. It can cut out
a standstill to 120km/h
time of 7.5sec and lunge
though a highway overtake
in around 5sec (80km/h to
120km/h). According to its
comprehensive fuel usage
readout, it will also sip fuel
instantaneously at the rate
of 6l/100km (47mpg) at
100km/h, the engine very
unstressed at 1600rpm.
Lexus also claim a 230km/h
top speed if laws allowed.
All in all the 200t has
respectable all-round
performance, it also sits
well at $102,900 for the
F Sport model as tested.
This represents a $23,100
saving over its V6
stablemate, and by my
reckoning makes it a very
desirable purchase.
I’m quite smitten with
Lexus product, there’s just
enough sporty appeal and,
of course, as a luxury brand
there is no skimping on
detail.
The RC200t is beautifully
built and feels fabulous to
be in as a driver, and as
a passenger too for that
matter. Sure, the rear is a
little tight to access, but
once seated there two
occupants can be made
comfortable.
For me, I see the 200t as a
driver’s car and one which
excels in all situations, I’d
expect nothing less from
Lexus as a brand.

Senior Warriors escape axe after Penrith debacle
• By Michael Burgess
WARRIORS COACH Stephen
Kearney has resisted swinging
the axe in the wake of the
embarrassing defeat at Penrith
last Saturday
Kearney has made just one
change to his 17-man squad
to face the Dragons tomorrow
night, with Ken Maumalo replacing
the injured Solomone Kata.
Kata was making his comeback
from a hamstring complaint last
week when he was forced from
the field with another leg injury
in the 69th minute.
With Kata out, David Fusitu’a
switches from the wing to the
centres, Ken Maumalo is back
replacing Fusitu’a after playing
in the Intrust Super Premiership
last Saturday, and Bunty Afoa,
who started on the bench against
Penrith, has been named to start
at loose forward.
Simon Mannering wasn’t

from the hamstring injury which
forced him out of Saturday’s loss
to Penrith. Manu Vatuvei is sidelined
with a calf injury he picked
up in the final field session last
Friday when he was set to make
his return to the NRL.
Meanwhile, Ben Matulino
becomes just the fourth player
to make 200 appearances for
the Warriors when they face St

and his 135th career game.
Matulino follows Stacey Jones
and current teammates Simon
Mannering and Manu Vatuvei in
joining the club’s elite 200-game

Matulino was the first graduate
from the under-20 competition
to play both 100 and 150 NRL

have held him up since.

Topai-Aveai signs three-year Sharks deal
• By Gordon Findlater
ONE OF the best players in
last year’s school rugby UC
Championship has continued
his rapid rise in rugby league
by signing a three-year contract
with the Cronulla Sharks.
Cruz Topai-Aveai, 18, needed
just a handful of games in
the under-20 national youth
competition with the South
Sydney Rabbitohs to convince
the Sharks that he is worth a
first-grade contract.
Before injuring himself against
the Penrith Panthers under-20
side last month, the forward was
proving to be a standout for the
Rabbitohs. In his last full game,
he made 12 runs, including two
line breaks, which resulted in
him gaining 208 metres.
Topai-Aveai will add some
much needed youth to the
Sharks roster which has seven
forwards who are 29 or older,
including 35-year-olds Paul
Gallen and Chris Heighington.
Last year, Topai-Aveai was
awarded the Philip McDonald
Memorial Medal, with
opposition coaches recognising
him as the most valuable player
in the UC Championship.
He helped lead Shirley Boys’
High School to grand-final
appearances in both 2015 and
2016.
After finishing the first XV
rugby season, he decided to
make the switch to league even
though he had less than 12
months experience in the 13-
man code.
Are there too many
cards in Super Rugby?
• By Gordon Findlater
FORMER ALL Blacks and
Crusaders half back Justin
Marshall has come out swinging
over Super Rugby rulings on foul
play.
Marshall highlighted incidents
in recent
weeks, including
Crusaders captain
Sam Whitelock’s
two-week-ban for
what he said was “a
Justin
Marshall
rub against an opponent’s
face with
his elbow”, and
the red carding of
Highlanders wing Waisake Naholo
and Bulls lock RG Snyman
at Loftus Versfeld.
Marshall said the brutal
physicality has been taken out
of rugby to the detriment of the
game.
Said Marshall in his weekly
column in the NZ Herald: “For
me, there are two issues involved.
The first is that it’s a contact
game – players are trained and
programmed to run hard at each
other and there are going to be
times when there is often hard
physical contact. That includes
the aerial aspect – players contesting
high kicks.
“I feel we’re taking the really
brutal physicality out of the
game, and the second issue is
that players are thinking twice
about how to react to fast-changing
events in front of them and
that’s not good for the game.”
He said players are now going
into areas of contact without
confidence due to the fear of
being carded. He made note of
instances where players are being
carded for high tackles that
are the fault of the ball carrier
and not the tackler. For example
cards have been given in the
YOU’RE OFF: Former All Blacks and Crusaders half back Justin Marshall says yellow and red
cards are being overused in Super Rugby
PHOTO: HAGEN HOPKINS
past for high tackles that have
involved the ball carrier slipping,
which has resulted in their head
coming into the contact zone
lower than the tackler would
have expected.
“I’m not condoning foul play
and am certainly a supporter of
getting on top of concussion and
serious injuries in the game, but
we’ve got to respect rugby for
what it is. It’s a physical game
about contact and winning
possession but, bit by bit, we’re
eliminating contact from the
game,” he wrote.
“For me, Naholo was trying
to get the ball and he used his
shoulder to protect himself from
the other player. The Bulls player
was hit high but I believe that’s
just part of game.
Marshall said the red card of
Snyman was also harsh, stating
that he was cleaning a Highlanders
player out of the ruck, who
was there illegally slowing down
the ball, when the Bulls were in a
try scoring position.

do you think of the red and
yellow card-friendly nature
of Super Rugby? Email

What others think of
Marshall’s column
Reuben Thorne, former All
Blacks captain: “I thought
the Bulls player
charged into a
ruck against a
defenceless guy
and deliberately
went for his head
which probably
warranted a red
card. The Naholo one, he made
contact with the head but I don’t
think it was intentional but more
reckless. Whether it should be a
yellow or red card is the question
there.”
Scott Pawson, New
Brighton division one
coach: “Even down at club
level it’s become
very officious.
It was talked
about during the
coaches meeting
at the start of the
year, any kind of
contact with the head is now a
yellow card. I think common
sense needs to prevail in some
cases. If the ball carrier slips or is
going for the try line his head is
sometimes around knee height,
how are you meant to stop that?”
Martin Dodgson, Sumner
division one coach: “It all
comes down to the law changes.
Referees can be
held accountable
as well, if their
bosses are saying
you need to pay
attention to this
then they’ve got
to do it, so I can sympathise
with them. At the end of the day,
though you want 30 guys on the
field, there are some tackles you
look at and think did that really
deserve a card.”

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.

Home
& Property
Four things you MUST
do before buying a home
Buying a home is a big deal. It’s likely to be the most
expensive thing you buy, and it can be a complicated
legal process. It’s even tougher in a hot market, where
there is a lot of competition for a limited number
of properties. It might be tempting to take a few
shortcuts, but failing to do things properly could
cause more problems later.
Here are our top four tasks for home
buyers.
1. Research the property
The real estate agent selling the property
acts on behalf of the seller, however they
are also required to tell you everything
they know about the property. They
must respond professionally to all your
enquiries and not withhold any details.
Remember that you still need to do your
own due diligence. That means getting
a title search so you can find out all the
facts about the property’s ownership,
boundary and access, as held by Land
Information New Zealand (LINZ). It’s
a good idea to get a Land Information
Memorandum (LIM), which shows
information held by the local council
about the property and land. For valuable
feedback on the property’s condition, get
a report done by an inspector who has
professional indemnity insurance and
carries out their work in accordance with
the New Zealand Property Inspection
Standard. Although this all costs money,
it will save you more in the long term.
Sellers may occasionally provide some of
this information for you. If this happens,
check that it is up-to-date.
2. Get legal advice
Buying property is expensive, and it
can cost even more if something goes
wrong. That’s why it’s important to get
legal advice before you sign anything.

throughout Christchurch
For more information
and bookings, contact
Mike Fulham
M: 021 300 567
E: mike@starmedia.kiwi
A lawyer will handle all the paperwork
involved in the process, including the
title search, and offer impartial advice.
If you don’t have a lawyer, the New
Zealand Law Society can help you find
one at propertylawyers.org.nz.
3. Understand the sale process
There are several methods of buying and
selling property, for example, tender or
auction. It’s important to understand the
process for the property you are buying.
Practices can vary between agencies
so make sure you confirm details with
them. The Home Buyer’s Guide at
buyingahome.reaa.govt.nz has more
helpful advice.
4. Read the sale and purchase
agreement and understand what it
means
The sale and purchase agreement is your
contract with the seller. It is crucial to
read it very carefully and get legal advice
before you sign. You can negotiate the
terms and conditions of an agreement,
but once you sign it, there’s no going
back.

Home Buyers’ Guide at buyingahome.

call the Real Estate Agents Authority

classics featured
in Superstar Show
MULTI-talented New Zealand based
singer, songwriter, guitarist and vocal
coach, Stuart Clarke headlines
alongside well respected entertainer
Paul Madsen in a Superstar Show at
the Hornby WMC in June.
Presented by Madsen Promotions,
the Superstar Show features Paul
performing tributes to the BeeGees,
Eagles, Queen and Neil Diamond

Johnny Cash classics.
Stuart has been involved in the New
Zealand music scene for more than 20
years. During this time public
performances have included
Auckland’s Christmas in the Park
(TV3), Tauranga Jazz Festival,
Clevedon Jazz Festival, Auckland Sky
City Casino, and Rhythm and Vines,
to name a few. He has shared the

Roots, The Black Seeds, Hollie Smith,
John Butler Trio, and Donovan
Frankenwreiter. He has been
nominated for a B-Net Music Award,
as well as recording collaborations
released on Warners Music.
Blessed with a wonderfully rich
bass-baritone voice comparable to
Johnny Cash, Stuart performs the
music of Johnny Cash to perfection.
