Plan to open dog adoption cafe 

HOME: Rescue dogs such as Caleb will have a good chance of finding their forever homes when Ally Mullord and 

Jack Penniket open New Zealand’s first dog cafe in Christchurch next year.

A CAFE WITH dogs on the 

menu could send some people 

barking up the wrong tree. 

But two Christchurch doglovers, 

Jack Penniket and Ally 

Mullord, believe it will help raise 

awareness about New Zealand’s 

low dog adoption figures, which 

sit at about 12 per cent. 

They are set to open The 

Barkery in Christchurch 

next year, which will be New 

Zealand’s first cafe space in 

which customers can spend 

time with rescue dogs that are 

available for adoption.

Victim not 

told her 

attacker 

was on 

the run 


POLICE HAVE said it was an 

“oversight” that a victim wasn’t 

alerted until a week after her 

alleged rapist went on the run. 

James Arthur Brown, 53, 

absconded from the Salisbury 

Street Foundation in Merivale late 

last month. 

Police have issued a warrant for 

his arrest and warned the public 

to not approach him. 

The Star understands Brown cut 

off his electronically monitored 

bracelet. 

He is expected 

to face trial in 

less than two 

months on 

charges of rape, 

assault with 

intent to injure, 

threatening to 

kill and four 

charges of 

unlawful sexual 

connection for 

James 

Brown 

alleged events that took place last 

year. 

The Star understands 

the alleged victim was not 

immediately told by police Brown 

had breached bail by removing 

his EM bracelet and leaving the 

address he was staying at, as the 

officer in charge was on leave.

A MEMORIAL five-a-side 

football tournament will be held 

to commemorate one of the 

victims of the March 15 mosque 

shootings. 

FC 

Twenty11 

will hold the 

Tariq Omar 

Memorial 

Cup, with 

the hopes of 

making it an 

annual event. 

Mr Omar 

was a former 

player for 

the club and died following the 

March 15 terrorist attacks where 

a gunman opened fire on the 

Linwood Islamic Centre and Al 

Noor Mosque, killing 51 people. 

The five-a-side football 

tournament will be held on 

November 2 at Avonhead Park. 

Event organiser Ollie Hawkins 

said the proceeds made from the 

tournament would go towards 

the Victim Support fund and Mr 

Omar’s family. 

“The immediate reason we 

wanted to do this was because 

Tariq was a member of our club 

and the club felt directly affected 

because of the tragedies that 

happened, and six months on 

nothing really has happened 

and we felt that we owed it to 

ourselves and to Tariq to organise 

something,” he said. 

Mr Hawkins said he planned 

on running the event every year. 

“We hope to make it as big as 

possible and leave a legacy for 

Tariq because he had a major 

impact on the Christchurch 

football community.” 

As well as playing for FC 

Twenty11 Mr Omar also coached

Candle, fertilisers 

cause fires 

A candle in an inappropriate 

holder sitting on a washing 

machine started a fire which 

caused extensive damage to a 

Sumner home yesterday. Five 

crews battled the blaze at the 

home near St Leonards Square at 

about 10.35am for more than an 

90min. No one was injured in the 

blaze Fire and Emergency New 

Zealand fire investigator Wayne 

Hamilton said. The occupants 

had a lucky escape as the two 

smoke alarms in the home 

weren’t activated. Mr Hamilton 

said the fire is a timely reminder 

to ensure smoke alarms are 

working and that candles are in 

appropriate holders. Meanwhile, 

A fire that completely destroyed 

a storage shed at Harewood 

Golf Club was caused by a pile 

of fertiliser. Fire crews were 

called to the blaze just after 8am 

yesterday. Fire and Emergency 

New Zealand fire investigator 

Jason Hobbs said the fertiliser 

was contaminated and selfignited. 

Three tractors, a loader 

and a truck received substantial 

damage but no one was injured. 

Dairy till stolen in 

ram raid 

A Sydenham dairy has been hit 

in a ram raid only months after it 

was robbed. The entrance at 

P & P Dairy on Huxley St 

was battered by a vehicle on 

Saturday about 12.30am and the 

dairy’s till was stolen. A police 

spokeswoman said inquiries into 

the incident were ongoing. In 

May, four men robbed the dairy 

of cash and cigarettes then fled 

in a stolen vehicle, which police 

later recovered. The men, whose 

faces were disguised, were not 

thought to have been armed and 

there were no injuries.

A bring-your-own-dog service 

will also be on offer for pet 

owners. 

Coupled with two rescue 

organisations, Dogwatch 

Sanctuary and Christchurch 

Bull Breed Rescue, The Barkery 

aims to create a space away 

from adoption shelters, which 

can often have “doggy-jail 

connotations,” Mr Penniket said. 

“Visiting a shelter can be 

intimidating, it does have this 

doggy jail connotation. That is a 

barrier for people because they 

feel guilty and feel like they have 

to leave with all the dogs.” 

A location for the cafe is yet 

to be decided, Mr Penniket said, 

as they work through “complex 

territory” to get the project 

under way. 

“Design and user experience 

is a massive body of work, also 

with building resource consents. 

We are on the lookout (for a 

location) but are not going to 

rush into anything,” he said. 

A strict vetting process will 

be undertaken by the rescue 

organisations to ensure the 

dogs are suitable to be in the 

environment. 

“The nature of rescue dogs and 

dogs that struggle to get adopted 

is that they are a little bit socially 

uneasy,” Mr Penniket said 

The dogs will require a good 

social attitude and temperament, 

as well as experience socialising 

with humans. 

A similar cafe exists on 

Colombo St. The Catnap Cafe 

revolves around adopting cats. 

“It was incredible talking to 

them about their learnings and 

journey, they have done a lot 

we are able to model on,” Mr 

Penniket said. 

“They mentioned that one in 

three customers will ask when 

the dog version is going to be 

available. When we approached 

them they said: ‘Yes, finally

The Barkery aims to open 

midway through next year and 

will be launching a PledgeMe 

campaign at the start of the year. 

In the meantime, a series 

of pop-up events will aim to 

provide a taste of what The 

Barkery’s user experience will 

be like. Rescue dogs will be 

available to pat and pet owners 

are encouraged to bring their

Detective Senior Sergeant 

Scott Anderson confirmed the 

delay in alerting the victim. 

“This instance of delay in 

informing the victim was 

unfortunately as a result of 

some oversight from the officer 

in charge,” Detective Senior 

Sergeant Anderson said. 

“Corrections immediately 

advised police of Mr Brown 

removing his bracelet, which 

resulted in an email being 

sent to the officer in charge 

advising of such and instant intel

contacted the victim and 

advised as such. The officer in 

charge is in regular contact

are continuing to ascertain Mr 

Brown’s whereabouts,” he said. 

Detective Senior Sergeant 

Anderson said police are 

supporting the victim. 

Brown appears on the police 

website as wanted for arrest. 

It describes him as medium 

build, 179cm, with his likely 

whereabouts listed as the 

Christchurch area. 

“For your own safety, Police 

recommend you do not approach

The Salisbury Street

to comment on residents at its 

facility due to privacy and legal 

obligations.



OUSTED CITY councillor 

Deon Swiggs has labelled the city 

council’s handling of allegations 

of misconduct against him as a 

“farce.” 

Mr Swiggs lost his Central 

Ward city council seat in the 

local body elections following allegations 

he 

sent “grossly 

inappropriate” 

messages 

to young 

people. 

He has 

denied any 

misconduct, 

which 

came to the 

attention of 

media when 

voting packs 

arrived in 

mailboxes last month. 

Mr Swiggs said he has “no 

idea” as to whether the city 

council will be continuing with 

the code of conduct investigation 

against him. 

New city council chief executive 

Dawn Baxendale 

said there is a number of matters 

the city council needs to deal 

with after the elections before 

making a decision on the investigation. 

“We will advise you if and 

when we are in a position to 

make any statement regarding 

the code of conduct process with 

Deon Swiggs,” she said. 


Swiggs takes swing at ‘farce’ 

Dawn 

Baxendale 

CONTROVERSY: Former city councillor Deon Swiggs says 

the city council’s handling of the allegations against him 

has been a “farce.” 

Mr Swiggs labelled the process 

a “farce.” 

“We should all question 

whether or not we live in a

question whether 

or not we live in a 

democracy’ 

– Deon Swiggs 

democracy,” Mr Swiggs said. 

He said it has “become 

increasingly clear the leak of 

the complaint to the media was 

politically motivated. 

“The damage this complaint 

did to my campaign is reflected 

in the ballot box result,” Mr 

Swiggs said. 

“The least the council could do 

now is give me some direction 

regarding their plans.” 

Mr Swiggs lost his seat to The 

People’s Choice candidate Jake 

McLellan by 1078 votes. 

He also labelled the code of 

conduct process as “not fit for 

purpose.” 

City council general manager 

of citizens and community 

Mary Richardson said it has 

not received any complaints 

of political interference in the 

elections. 

She said a review of the code 

of conduct process is under way 

and insisted the public should 

have full confidence the elections 

were held in a fair manner.

Councillors set to 

vote on new 

ECan chair today 


ENVIRONMENT Canterbury is 

set to appoint its chair and deputy 

chair today. 

In the newly-elected regional 

council’s first meeting, councillors 

are due to vote for who they want to 

lead them over the next three years. 

The role of chair pays $180,000 

per year. 

Last term’s chairman Steve 

Lowndes did not run for reelection. 

The new ECan table has 

seven women and seven men after 

what was the first fully democratic 

election since 2010, when the then 

National Government sacked the 

elected councillors and appointed 

government commissioners in 

their place. The commissioners 

were at the helm until 2016, when 

partial democracy was returned. 

Six of the previous councillors 

stood for re-election but only four 

were successful – Peter Scott, Lan 

Pham, John Sucknell and Claire 

McKay. 

Rod Cullinane and last term’s 

Ngai Tahu representative Iaean 

Cranwell were not re-elected. 

The 10 new councillors include 

Ian Mackenzie, Elizabeth 

McKenzie, Vicky Southworth, 

former city councillor Phil 

Clearwater, Grant Edge, Hands, 

Craig Pauling, Jenny Hughey, Tane 

Apanui and Nicole Marshall.

THE NEWLY-elected council 

could become polarised across 

party lines, says a political 

commentator. 

Political scientist Bronwyn 

Hayward said a heightened 

presence of two political parties 

around the city council table 

could lead to a 

divide. 

Left-leaning 

and Labour 

aligned political 

group 

The People’s 

Bronwyn 

Hayward 

Choice managed 

to keep 

seven councillors 

around the 

table following the elections in 

spite of losing Glenn Livingstone, 

who lost out in the Burwood 

Ward to Phil Mauger, and Phil 

Clearwater who stepped down 

from the Spreydon Ward. 

Newly-elected councillors Jake 

McLellan and Melanie Coker join 

incumbent People’s Choice councillors 

Andrew Turner, Anne 

Galloway, Pauline Cotter, Yani 

Johanson and Jimmy Chen. 

However, they face increased 

competition from right-leaning 

political group Independent Citizens 

which has gone from having 

one seat to three. Newly-elected 

councillors Sam MacDonald and 

Catherine Chu will join fourthterm 

city councillor James Gough. 

“I think that there is a risk that 

decision-making could become 

polarised along party lines, and 

that would be a real shame,” Dr 

Hayward said. 

“With a heightened presence 

of two teams there is always a 

chance that they [city councillors] 

will become a little more 

polarised, and that would be a 

real shame.” 

She thought asset sales could 

become a contentious issue between 

the two parties. 

The People’s Choice has a firm 

policy against the sale of any 

city-own assets. Last year they 

block voted against a proposal to 

revalue the city’s assets. 

Whereas Independent Citizens 

want to evaluate the city’s assets 


Warning council could 

become polarised 

in order to see if it makes financial 

sense selling them. 

The People’s Choice chairman 

Keir Leslie thought the “numbers 

did not add up” when it came to 

selling assets. 

“It will be interesting to see if 

they [Independent Citizens] can 

come up with a realistic proposal. 

“We hope that we can work 

to move the city forward and 

not get hung up on this divisive 

and frankly not going anywhere 

sideshow,” he said. 

Independent Citizens councillor 

James Gough labelled The 

People’s Choice stance as “ideological.” 

“I don’t think any of us will 

be pushing for asset sales, but 

I think Independent Citizens 

candidates will be pushing for 

evidence-based decision-making 

and that would include a review 

of assets,” he said. 

SIX MONGREL Mob members

Men’s Prison in June resulted in 

the victim, who was not a gang 

member, needing surgery to 

repair his jaw. 

Five of the offenders pleaded 

guilty to charges of assault 

with intent to injure in the 

district court yesterday and two 

admitted assault charges, Stuff 

reported. 

Those pleading guilty to 

assault with intent to injure 

were Michael Jager, 25, Dean 

Andrew Mihinui, 40, Christian 

Belmont, 24, Petuera Clarke, 

32, and Benjamin Joshua 

Williams, 35. Clarke also 

admitted a charge of assaulting 

a Corrections officer. 

Levi Bartlett, 31, and a 

29-year-old man who has 

interim name suppression 

because of two upcoming trials 

admitted assault charges. 

The group was in the exercise 

yard when Williams spoke to

Gang members 

plead guilty to 

prison yard attack 

the victim and then took an 

aggressive stance towards him. 

Two others blocked his exit. 

Williams began the assault, 

kicking and punching the 

victim and six others joined in 

the fracas in the corner of the 

yard. 

Corrections staff intervened 

and separated the attackers 

from the victim. Two of the 

attackers stood back and began 

barking like dogs. 

Clarke grabbed a Corrections 

officer by the arm and punched 

him in the face. 

While Corrections officers 

were dealing with the others, 

Belmont made a sustained 

attack on the victim’s head 

with his feet, fists, and knees. 

Belmont refused to stop and 

had to be physically restrained 

by several officers. 

The victim received a broken 

jaw and bruising to the head. 

He needed surgery to repair his 

jaw. 

The men have all been 

remanded in custody to various 

dates for sentencing. One will 

be sentenced in Blenheim.

Firefighters attend more medical calls 


IN THE past seven years, the 

average number of medical calls 

attended by Christchurch fire 

stations annually has risen from 

12 to 61. 

The medical calls, also known 

as ‘purple calls’ include any 

emergency situation that may be 

life-threatening. This could include 

suicides, cot-deaths, heart 

attacks, strokes, and cardiac 

arrests. 

It follows a Memorandum of 

Understanding signed by FENZ 

and St John 

in 2014, who 

co-ordinate to 

ensure faster 

responses to 

emergencies 

and better 

outcomes for 

patients. 

Wattie Watson 

But now, 

firefighters 

face the potential of responding 

to even more medical calls, including 

not just ‘purple calls.’ 

A new agreement currently being 

drafted includes a clause that 

states: ‘Other incidents by exception’ 

which has the New Zealand 

Professional Firefighters Union 

concerned they will also be called 

to less serious medical calls. 

The union’s president, Ian 

Wright, said at times firefighters 

are responding to births. 

Out of the eight city fire stations, 

not including the volunteer 

stations, Christchurch City Station 

has responded to the most 

medical calls this year, 103 so far. 

Wigram was the second highest 

with 81 medical calls so far 

this year, which is looking to 

surpass its 2018 figure of 113 

medical calls. 

Back in 2012, the station only 

responded to 24 calls of this type 

all year. 

Spreydon station was the third 

highest with 75 medical calls this 

year so far. Last year it had 87 in 

total. 

In 2012, it only responded to 12 

all year. 

Since the 2014 MOU was 

signed, the survival rate for cardiac 

arrests has increased from 

12 per cent to 18 per cent. 

“In some parts of the country, 

the nearest fire station is a lot 

closer than the nearest ambulance,” 

FENZ spokeswoman 

Louise Robinson said. 

But it’s not all positive. 

Last month, The Star reported 

increased medical calls attended 

by firefighters were having a major 

impact on their mental health. 

The union says it has reached a 

“crisis point.” 

By 2018, about 10 firefighters 

in New Zealand had committed 

suicide. 

TAKING 

A TOLL: 

Firefighters in 

Christchurch 

are dealing 

with more 

than four 

times the 

amount of 

medical calls 

they once 

were and the 

numbers are 

continuing to 

rise. 

FENZ provides a range of mental 

and psychological services to 

its staff, including counselling, 

workshops, professional psychologists, 

peer supporters, dedicated 

safety, health and well-being 

advisers, a health monitoring 

programme, psychological first 

aid resources, chaplaincy and 

Maori-based support services. 

But, New Zealand Professional 

Firefighters Union general 

secretary Wattie Watson and 

Christchurch-based firefighter 

Gary Duncan say staff need 

better mental and emotional 

training before they reach a point 

where they need to seek help. 

When the 2014 MOU was 

BY THE NUMBERS 

Total number of medical 

calls answered by 

Canterbury fire stations: 

2012: 181

2015: 563 

2016: 780 

2017: 718 

2018: 758 

2019 (up until October 4): 

570 

signed, no extra training for 

emotional trauma was provided. 

Said Ms Watson: “There is 

an issue around the training of 

medical response, it’s not good 

enough. It should have always 

been coupled with mental health 

resilience and it wasn’t, and that’s 

a learning curve for everyone.” 

Said Mr Duncan: “We got an 

email about the memorandum 

of understanding, but we 

called it the memorandum of 

misunderstanding. Next minute 

we were getting all these calls 

to medicals and we were going: 

‘Hang on, we haven’t had any 

extra training, we want extra 

training’.” 

It comes after the Office of 

the Chief Coroner revealed in 

August that suicides have risen 

by 42 per cent in the region, since 

2007-2008.

Police worried about home detention 

Sentence fails 

to ‘protect 

victims’ 


A HOME detention sentence for 

a man who kidnapped, robbed 

and assaulted his victim is 

making the police’s job harder, a 

detective says. 

The victim of the prolonged 

kidnapping is also disappointed 

with his attacker’s six-month 

home detention sentence. 

Aggravated robbery and 

kidnapping charges both carry 

maximum sentences of 14 years 

in prison. 

Ihaia Morgan, 22, was 

sentenced in the district court 

on October 2, for the attack in 

December. 

His alleged co-offender and 

brother, Mikaira Douglas 

Morgan, is on the run after being 

arrested and charged for the 

incident, but then released on 

electronically monitored bail, 

which he breached in May. 

A warrant for this arrest was 

issued by police in June. He is yet 

to be located. 

Detective Sergeant Daniel 

Isherwood said sentences like 

this “certainly make police’s job 

SENTENCED: 

Mikaira Douglas 

Morgan is 

serving a 

sentence of 

home detention 

with an 

electronically 

monitored 

bracelet after 

he kidnapped, 

robbed and 

assaulted his 

victim. 

harder. “In this case, we 

have a victim who was held 

against his will for a prolonged 

period of time, during which 

he was assaulted, had his 

hands bound and was forced to 

withdraw money. Police work 

hard to support victims in 

bringing these sorts of cases to 

court, often in the face of gang 

intimidation.” 

“It certainly makes our job a 

little harder, convincing victims 

to work with us,” he said. 

In February, The Star reported 

the 45-year-old male victim was 

beaten and robbed of his car, 

cellphone and wallet after he 

picked up two 17-year-olds from 

a Woolston address. He had met 

one of them online. 

The tactic known as ‘honeytrapping’ 

often sees gangs and 

their associates using women 

and the internet to lure in 

unsuspecting men, who are then 

kidnapped, beaten and robbed. 

After driving for a short time, 

the teenagers asked him to 

pull over so they could have a 

cigarette. 

Then two men associated with 

the Tribesmen gang allegedly 

pulled up behind them in a 

vehicle and assaulted the victim, 

before getting in the car and 

locking him inside using the 

‘kiddie-lock.’ 

One of the men, Ihaia, punched 

the victim in the eye socket, stole 

his wallet and phone, then forced 

him to sit on his hands and told 

him: “If you try and run, we’ll 

stab you.” 

The victim was then driven to 

various locations around the city 

before eventually being driven to 

his home, where Ihaia bound his 

wrists with duct tape. 

A Holden vehicle was then 

stolen from the property. 

The victim was then driven 

back to the original location 

where he was assaulted before 

being allowed to return home in 

one of the vehicles. 

He was told he owed the men 

$5000. 

Sensible Sentencing Trust 

spokeswoman Jess McVicar said 

the sentence will now result in 

the victim living in fear. 

“This is an issue for victims. 

They feel as if there was no point 

in coming forward, and now 

many are not. The judges and 

justice system are not in any way 

taking the victim into account,” 

she said. 

“Can we honestly believe this 

is acceptable to do this to the 

victims who manage to have the 

courage to speak up? 

“Our system is meant 

to protect victims and the 

community. It, unfortunately, is 

doing the complete opposite.”

Evidence for quarry hearings released 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

EXPERT evidence supporting 

submitters’ views on the 

hotly-debated plan to open a 

quarry near Templeton has been 

released ahead of next month’s 

hearings. 

Environment Canterbury 

has published 27 reports 

from some of the individuals, 

businesses and community 

groups set 

to present 

evidence for 

and against 

the proposed 

quarry. 

Evidence 

has been 

provided by 

submitters 

Jolene Eagar 

including the 

city council, 

Christchurch 

Airport, New Zealand Transport 

Agency, Templeton Residents’ 

Association and Yaldhurst Rural 

Residents’ Association. 

The hearings on Fulton 

Hogan’s application to 

open a quarry on Dawsons, 

Jones, Maddisons and 

Curraghs Rd will start on 

November 18. 

Evidence has been released 

from groups in support of 

the quarry, including Aggregate 

and Quarry Association of 

New Zealand and Allied 

Concrete. 

Templeton Residents’ 

Association treasurer Jolene 

Eagar is due to speak at the 

hearings on behalf of the 

association’s ‘no quarry subcommittee’. 

The committee’s 

evidence says if the quarry 

application is approved, it will set 

a “dangerous” precedent for the 

future. 

“The TRA received a very 

strong message from residents 

and businesses of Templeton and 

its surrounding area, they were 

here first and they have worked 

hard to build happy, peaceful 

lives. They do not want the proposed 

quarry.” 

The committee’s evidence 

highlighted several concerns, 

including the quarry’s potential 

impact on water quality and 

property values, as well as traffic 

and noise. 

However, evidence provided 

by Aggregate and Quarrying 

The expert 

evidence can 

be viewed 

on the ECan 

website at 

https://bit. 

ly/2MOAUCK 

Association of New Zealand 

chief executive Wayne Scott 

said the quarry will benefit 

Canterbury. 

“Fulton Hogan is proposing 

the best practice mitigation 

measures for the site and has 

developed a detailed quarry 

rehabilitation plan. AQA is 

supportive of Fulton Hogan’s 

commitment to going beyond 

compliance.” 

Fulton Hogan has already 

made a number of changes to its 

plan before the hearings start. 

They include no processing of 

aggregates before 7am or after 

8pm and there will be a limit of 

800 truck movements per day. 

The NZTA evidence covered a 

range of issues, including traffic 

congestion in the Dawsons Rd 

area. It suggested installing electronic 

signs warning motorists 

not to use certain roads. 

On behalf of the Canterbury 

District Health Board, Stephen 

Gordon Chiles’ evidence said the 

proposed 

conditions 

do not adequately 

manage 

noise 

from off-site 

trucks. He 

made recommendations 

including 

imposing 

a consent 

condition 

Wayne Scott 

prohibiting trucks with audible 

engine brakes from entering the 

site. 

Meanwhile, the number of 

people speaking at the hearings 

is still to be finalised. An ECan 

spokeswoman said a schedule 

will be available a week before 

the hearings. The hearings are 

due to take place on November 

18-22, December 2- 6 and 

December 9-13.

is touching down in the city to encourage 

women to tackle new frontiers in science. 

Anna Fisher, who is also a chemist and a 

specialist in emergency medicine, will take 

part in a special panel discussion A Future 

for Women in STEM (science, technology, 

engineering and mathematics) on Wednesday. 

In 1983, just weeks before having her 

first daughter, Dr Fisher secured a spot 

in the Discovery shuttle 

crew as a mission 

specialist. She lifted off in 

1984 to become the first 

mother in space. 

Dr Fisher was also 

chief of the space station 

branch during the building 

of the International 

Anna Fisher 

Space Station and worked 

on the Orion capsule 

under development for 

NASA’s Space Launch System. 

She also served as the ISS capsule communicator 

at the Mission Control Centre. 

Her visit coincides with the 50th anniversary 

of the Apollo moon landing. 

Dr Fisher will join New Zealand scientists 

Rose Swears, Victoria Metcalf, Sarah 

Kessans and leading STEM educator 

Miranda Satterthwaite to discuss pathways 

for women in science and aeronautics, the 

development of young talent and leadership. 

Her fellow panellists also have a role in 

the world of space science.

about Ocean HeatMaster.

A HEAT pump company has come under 

fire for allegedly misrepresenting its 

services to elderly customers. 

The Commerce Commission is taking 

action against Christchurch-based Ocean 

Contracting, also trading as Ocean Heat- 

Master, which it says misrepresented its 

services to the public. 

The company is facing 10 charges under 

the Fair Trading Act for “representations 

made during servicing of heat pumps.” 

The charges relate to complaints from 

Otago and Southland customers, who received 

cold calls from Ocean Contracting 

in 2016 or 2017, with subsequent visits to 

service their heat pumps. 

The majority of complainants were 

pensioners. The commission alleges Ocean 

Contracting misled consumers by telling 

them their heat pumps were leaking refrigerant 

gas and that it would cost between 

$180 and $400 to “top up” the refrigerant 

gas. 

“None of the complainants’ heat pumps 

required a refrigerant top-up. The evidence 

gathered by the commission suggests that 

Ocean Contracting did not actually carry 

out the gas top-ups which it held out as 

necessary,” the commission said. 

One former customer, Madeline Clark, 

of Dunedin, complained about Ocean 

Contracting services in 2017 after the two 

service technicians advised her the pump 

had a gas leak, which would cost an additional 

$350 to replace. She agreed and the 

work took “around 10 minutes” she said. 

Davies Heat & Cool manager Peter 

Chettleburgh said the heat pump would 

simply stop working if it had a refrigerant 

gas leak. “It would also have taken much 

longer than 10min to clean and fix it – 

we’d estimate around two to three hours 

work, including the gas, which should cost 

around $250 plus GST for a full replacement.” 

Ocean HeatMaster subsequently waived 

Ms Clark’s $350 fee. Ocean Contracting 

owner and manager Mithun Naidu did not 

to return calls. 

IGNITION: The first woman and 

mother in space, Anna Fisher, 

will talk at Turanga about the 

importance of women in science. 

of Science (Research) at Waikato University, 

has recently undertaken a NASA 

internship, while Dr Metcalf – a marine 

biologist, geneticist and communicator – is 

the national co-ordinator of the participatory 

science platform for the prime minister’s 

chief science adviser. 

A research fellow at Canterbury 

University, Dr Kessans has initiated 

several projects in the foundation of a 

local space biotechnology industry, while 

Ms Satterthwaite has trained in STEM 

education at several NASA centres, and 

taught aerodynamics. 

A Future for Women in STEM panel discussion will be held in the TSB 

Space at Turanga on Wednesday, 5.30-7pm.

NEWS 


Harding 

WHEN EMILY Sullivan was in 

primary school she was ridiculed 

for her looks and often asked out 

by boys as a joke. 

“I didn’t grow up with the most 

friends – a lot of guys were mean 

to me. Often it was just to get a 

reaction and carried on into my 

teenage years,” she said. 

But now the 22-year-old is a 

strong feminist who uses beauty 

pageants to fight for women’s 

autonomy over their bodies. 

Looking back, the Wainoni 

resident said while the bullying 

hurt her, it has helped her develop 

a thick skin and appreciation for 

who she is. Her strong views and 

confidence has seen her named 

the New Zealand delegate for the 

Miss Global Organisation. Sullivan, 

a performer and Anytime 

Fitness Rangiora personal trainer, 

will travel to Mexico next year to 

represent NZ at the international 

beauty contest. 

“I am so flipping excited,” she 

said. 

She was named the New Zealand 

delegate on Saturday at the 

Miss Five Crowns New Zealand 

competition. She earned the title 

after coming in the top 15 at the 

World Supermodel Pageant in Fiji 

earlier this year. 

The competition raised $15,000 

for Youthline. 

Sullivan will need to raise 

$2000 for her entry fee to the 

competition in Mexico. 

Having raised $3000 for Youthline 

two years ago through her 

beauty pageant work, Sullivan 

described its work as “critical”, 

particularly in light of the mental 

health issues the city is dealing 

with today. 

She said “thousands and thousands” 

of people called Youthline 

following the March 15 attacks 

and it is a “cornerstone” of the 

community. 

While beauty contests have 

often come under fire for encouraging 

women to measure their 

self-worth through their physical 

attributes, for Sullivan it is more 

than a modelling competition. 

She has used her platform to 

discuss feminism and women’s 

right to abortion. 

“Often what people don’t realise 

is it is a huge decision for women 

to make. Women should have the 

right to choose what they want to 

do with their body.” 

Last year, the 22-year-old 

challenged National Party leader 

Simon Bridges at a community 

meeting in Taupo over why he 

hadn’t taken abortion out of the 

Crimes Act 1961. 

While her challenge received 

backlash, Sullivan does not regret 

using her position to stand up for 

what she believes in. 

A National Academy of Singing 

and Dramatic Art graduate, 

Sullivan first got into beauty 


Using pageants to promote women’s rights 

pageants two years ago to help 

her with her stage confidence. 

Never expecting her pageant 

career to take off in her first 

competition, she was named Miss 

Five Crowns South Island two 

years ago. 

Sullivan believes the reason 

beauty pageants often get a bad 

name is because women are 

sometimes sexualised and many 

believe the contests encourage 

anti-feminism. 

She said the problem is 

women will often get into beauty 

pageants for the wrong reasons 

and will get lost in physical 

aspects of the competition rather 

than using it as a platform to 

discuss important issues. 

“You have got to have 

substance, you have to dig deep,” 

she said. 

While Sullivan’s views on 

feminism have grown, small 

issues such as being told she 

couldn’t play bullrush because 

she was girl “ignited a flame” in 

her as a child. 

But she said the issues she has 

faced are minor compared to 

what others experiences with 

human trafficking and domestic 

violence. 

UPCOMING: Emily Sullivan 

will represent New Zealand 

next year in Mexico at the 

Miss Global Organisation 

beauty pageant.

Uni’s top finance students to represent NZ 

YOUNG, SUCCESSFUL 

& on the move 

The Star continues showcasing the city’s 

successful young people. If you have a story 

to tell, email jess.gibson@starmedia.kiwi 

CANTERBURY University’s top 

finance students have won the 

biggest finance competition in 

the country. 

As a result, they will represent 

New Zealand in March 2020 at 

the Asia Pacific Regional Finals 

in Seoul, South Korea. 

Jonathan Manickam, Nicolas 

Adams, Caitlin Hendren, Jack 

Skerman and Nicholas Steyn 

had the winning presentation at 

the Chartered Financial Analyst 

Institute’s Research Challenge in 

Auckland on October 11. 

They competed against seven 

other teams from universities 

across the country after spending 

11 weeks preparing a professional 

valuation report on New 

Zealand’s stock exchange-listed 

company, Z Energy. 

Chris Wakefield coached the 

team with industry advice from 

Nick Webb, who is a credit trader 

with Westpac and UC alumnus. 

The team had access to Z 

Energy’s investor relations team, 

could submit questions to Z 

Energy management and use the 

support, resources and advice 

from their assigned faculty and 

industry advisors. 

Team captain Jonathan, a 

third-year Bachelor of Commerce 

student in finance and economics, 

hopes that the business school 

will increase its support of the 

competition given the team’s 

accomplishment this year. 

TOP TEAM: (Left to right) – Team adviser and coach Chris Wakefield, Jack Skerman, Caitlin 

Hendren, captain Jonathan Manickam, Nicholas Steyn and Nicolas Adams will head to 

South Korea for the Asia Pacific regional finals in March. 

The success of our team is due 

to the unique and diverse skillset 

that each member possessed.” 

“We learnt so many new skills 

and techniques during this competition 

and have enjoyed the opportunities 

to question company 

staff and receive guidance. The 

choice of the company proved 

very topical, given the recent Saudi 

Arabia oil attacks that caused 

supply shocks and the Commerce 

Commission inquiry into the 

profitability of downstream fuel 

retailers” he said. 

Said team coach and adviser 

Chris Wakefield: “The experience 

provides the students incredible 

exposure to potential future employers 

in the financial industry 

and we are looking forward to 

representing New Zealand in 

South Korea next year.” 

This year the global 

competition has involved 6200 

students and 4000 volunteers 

including coaches, advisers 

and judges from over 1100 

universities, representing more 

than 90 countries. 

Back to the pool after a long absence 

YOU KNOW how I said I missed 

the whole co-sleeping thing? 

Well on Tuesday I woke up 

to Vittoria breaking the laws of 

physics by putting her entire body 

weight onto my face through her 

face while lying down. She was also 

singing in my ear. 

It was way too early to make 

me miss waking up like that. No 

amount of adorable singing is 

enjoyable before sunrise. 

Laura flat out denied inserting 

a toddler between us, so I have no 

idea how she got into that position 

either. I’m not sure if I was woken 

up earlier and grabbed her into bed 

to settle her, if she jumped up on 

her own accord or if she has actually 

mutated the ability to teleport. 

Hell, can you imagine if it was 

the last one? Absolute nightmare. 

Beyond face-based wrestling 

moves, we finally started back to 

swim classes last week. 

It’d been three months since Vittoria 

had last been in a pool, so I 

was worried her water confidence 

would have waned. 

My ability to handle washing, 

drying and dressing both myself 

and a much less cooperative toddler 

post-swim was also in question 

(mostly in my head). Fortunately 

Laura had the day off so I had both 

change-time support and a photographer 

on call. 

Concerns around (Vittoria’s) confidence 

disappeared as soon as the 

water hit her face and she cracked a 

massive smile. It was like she’d not 

missed a whole term and she aced 

each activity. She even remembered 

the actions to the Aquagym class 

song better than me. 

The only thing I thought had 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

slipped was remembering to kick 

her legs when she did the activities 

designed to introduce her to swimming 

techniques, but she improved 

during the class. 

Unfortunately, time away hadn’t 

dulled her dislike of swimming on 

her back and it still held the same 

risk of being uppercut, hair pulled 

or getting fingers up your nose. 

Of course, her favourite thing is 

to jump off the foam mat into the 

pool, it remained top of the list. 

Hopefully this week the smooth 

sailing continues in the pool. 

Especially as Laura will be working 

and I’ll be having to address my 

concerns for my post swim admin 

ability.

BROUGHT UP in a strong 

Catholic family, Chris Archer 

never celebrated Halloween the 

way many Kiwi children do now. 

“I love the idea of dressing up 

and sharing gifts,” he said. “But 

I am not sure within that model 

whether kids fully understand 

that actually it is a day to 

celebrate those who have passed 

on.” 

His Catholic heritage has not 

stopped him from indulging his 

fascination with how the festival 

is celebrated around the world – 

particularly in Mexico. 

“I think I have always had an 

interest in the bizarre, the strange 

and the unexpected.” 

As part of the Festival of the 

(Un)Dead over Labour weekend, 

Archer, an accomplished pianist, 

will take audiences back in 

time as he accompanies the 

silent horror film Nosferatu: A 

Symphony of Horror with live 

piano music. 

The German film will be 

screened in The Great Hall at 

The Arts Centre of Christchurch. 

Archer is the centre’s 

programmes and partnerships 

manager. 

The screening will be a key 

feature of the festival, along with 

a screening of The Rocky Horror 

Picture Show straight after 

Nosferatu. The annual Thrill the 

World Christchurch global danceoff 

at Cathedral Square will also 

see residents dance to Michael 

Jackson’s Thriller to raise money 

for charity. 

While Archer plans to 

improvise part of the soundtrack 

throughout Nosferatu, he has 

spent more than 50 hours 

selecting mainly German music 

to match the mood of each scene. 

“Thrown in for good measure, I 

am using John Carpenter’s music, 

Halloween, which everyone will 

recognise just because it seems 

appropriate,” Archer said. 

One of the most influential 

horror films of all time, Nosferatu 

was directed by Friedrich 


Wilhelm Murnau and released 

in 1922. 

“It is a technical feat in 

cinematography but there are 

also some classic, suspenseful 

scenes that have inspired even 

contemporary modern horror 

movies we see today.” 

Archer said Murnau was 

very clever, putting scenes of 

incredible suspense against 

scenes of complete relaxation to 

take audiences by surprise. 

“There is a creepy element 

where you know someone is 

following someone else and the 

time spent preparing that and 

creating the suspense . . . there 

are so many horror films with the 

same technique,” he said. 

Archer first saw the film about 

20 years ago as part of a New 

Zealand Film Commission 

festival at the Isaac Theatre Royal. 

As well as playing the piano, 

he is an accomplished organist, 

accompanist, composer, music 

educator and was an organist 

at the Catholic Cathedral for 10 

years. 

•Nosferatu: A Symphony 

of Horror will be screened 

on Friday, 6.30-8.10pm. To

OUR PEOPLE – ROY CAMPBELL 

Boss keeps long-serving retail outlet 

Smiths City has been an 

institution in Christchurch 

for 101 years. Louis Day 

catches up with chief 

executive Roy Campbell 

How long have you been 

involved with Smiths City? 

I have been here about fourand-a-half 

years. I came back 

to Christchurch for this role, I 

returned for the role as group 

CEO. 

What were you doing for work 

before this? 

Well, that gets a little bit 

interesting. Directly before this, I 

was over in the US Virgin Islands 

and I was doing a restructuring 

of a duty-free company which 

had been bought by a private 

company and just integrating 

that into their overall corporate 

structure. The company was 

called Penha Duty Free it is a 

privately held Dutch company 

and it has been around for 300 

years I think. I was there for just 

a year. 

How has Smiths City changed 

over the years? 

Well that is a really interesting 

question, if you go right back 

to 1918 when Henry Cooper 

founded it and it was a seller of 

second-hand farm implements 

that he bought, refurbished and 

sold and then went from that into 

seed and grain and into livestock 

and then it was an auction house 

so it has changed massively over 

the last 100 years, it is continually 

evolving to meet the needs of the 

modern market. 

How have buying habits 

changed over the years? 

Well clearly in the last year 

term we have seen the rise of the 

online portal as a way to shop 

so that has materially impacted 

how people search, relate and 

purchase goods so that has 

ALL SMILES: 

Smiths 

City chief 

executive

Campbell

store. 

changed quite materially. 

Do you think online shopping 

is killing the face-to-face 

customer service experience? 

No I don’t, I think it is 

changing how that customer 

face-to-face experience happens. 

You now have a far more 

informed consumer entering 

your store now, but humans are 

social beings we like to interact 

so we may search online we 

may purchase things online, 

and certainly, we see fantastic 

growth in our online sales no 

question about that, but they are 

complementary to the in-store 

experience. So I am very fond of 

saying that there is not an online 

and offline experience there is a 

blended retail experience. 

Who has been the most 

famous customer you have 

served? 

All our customers are famous, 

anyone that really shops with us 

is a famous person to us because 

we really value their interaction. 

Kieran Read has shopped with 

us, I know that well. But we treat 

every customer the same. 

What have been some of the 

biggest challenges? 

I think that retail is evolving 

so making sure that you have 

the right customer experience 

that you have the right level of 

engagement in-store is crucial to 

us making sure that our teams 

are really giving the customers 

what they want and listen to 

their needs is the most important 

thing.

OUR PEOPLE 25 

trading with the current trends 

What is your best selling 

product at the minute? 

Well, you are talking in the 

middle of a Rugby World Cup so 

we can’t seem to keep televisions 

in the store at the moment for 

some strange reason, clearly, that 

is very situational, but they would 

be some of the hottest items that 

we have at the moment. 

What are some of the biggest 

changes you have made at 

Smiths City? 

Customers preferences and 

tastes do change over time and 

we move with that, in fact, one 

of the things I did back in 2015 

when I came in here we used 

to sell a lot of products that we 

weren’t well known for that we 

used to be well known for but 

as time had moved forward we 

actually took them out of the 

range. One of these products was, 

we used to sell a lot of firearms 

and I cancelled that before the 

unfortunate events of this year. 

So we evolve our product sets 

to meet the needs of what our 

consumers are asking for. 

Are there any types of 

products that you would be 

interested in looking at selling 

in the future? 

Clearly the connected home 

is emerging, clearly, the more 

wearable technologies that are 

coming through, these are areas 

that we are looking at as a natural 

enhancement of what we do. 

Where did you grow up? 

I grew up in Island Bay in 

Wellington but I would really 

classify myself as New Zealander 

rather than a Wellingtonian 

or an Aucklander or even a 

Cantabrian. I have lived and 

worked across New Zealand for 

many years now so I am quite 

proud to call New Zealand home 

and I am very proud to be back in 

Christchurch for the third time, 

it’s a great place to live. 

What was the first job you got 

out of school? 

My first job was an 

apprenticeship and I was 

an apprentice as a fitter and 

turner and that was with 

William Cables in Wellington. 

I completed my apprenticeship 

when I did some further work 

in that field I then decided that I

would like to retrain so I actually 

went back to high school as an 

adult student to do my university 

entrance because I left at 15 to 

do the apprenticeship, I duly 

received that I was then accepted 

into Mobil Oil from down here 

I was actually working up in 

Mt Hutt ski field and I applied 

for a role in Mobil Oil and was 

fortunately accepted into that. 

Then I went back to university, 

Auckland University and did a 

marketing diploma and an MBA 

and here I am I guess. 

What did you get in trouble at 

school for? 

Being cheeky. I was a very 

vocal child at school so I left 

when I was 15. Generally just 

being cheeky would probably be 

the best answer. 

How do you like to spend your 

free time? 

I do a reasonable amount 

of cycling and gym, I have a 

wonderful family I have a very 

supportive and sensational 

wife who is now a community 

magistrate down here in 

Christchurch and I have a 16 

and a 14-year-old, so they keep 

me busy and engaged. I love 

motorbikes and I love being out 

and about in the Christchurch 

environment. I do road cycling, 

I used to do a lot of running but 

cycling is far better for the body. 

I do it for fitness, I have done Le 

Race three times now for my sins, 

but looking at doing it again, was 

an interesting experience. 

Dead or alive, if there was 

anyone you could have a beer 

with, who would it be? 

The standard answer for me 

would be Winston Churchill. I 

would probably like to talk to 

Einstein or Michelangelo as well, 

great minds.

Updates on 

“The Shaun 

Wallace 

Celebrity 

Charity 

Quiz Show” 

Diabetes Christchurch Inc. presents 

Diabetes Christchurch are pleased 

to confirm three charities to 

be involved in this stimulating 

quiz show that will be held on 

Wednesday, November 20th at 

the La Vida Conference Centre in 

Upper Riccarton. 

These include The Christchurch Kidney 

Society, The Bone Marrow Cancer Trust and 

Age Concern Canterbury. 

This special one-off show featuring Shaun 

Wallace (the main compere) who will be 

posing the questions to the well-known local 

celebrities, who are competing in teams of 

two against each other. These teams will be 

the representatives of the five designated 

local charities. 

Our confirmed celebrity contestants so far 

are Sir Bob Parker, Brett and Angel from 

“Married At First Sight – NZ” and also 

Melinda Collins, editor for the Metropol 

magazine. 

Born on June 2, 1960 to Jamaican parents, 

Shaun Anthony Linford Wallace is a 

Londoner born and bred, and has been a 

devoted Chelsea fan since 1967. From the 

age of 12, Shaun knew he wanted to be a 

barrister and was determined to make it. 

Despite one or two setbacks along the way, 

he finally managed to fulfil his childhood 

ambition when he was called to the bar in 

November 1984, and proudly had both his 

parents present at this prestigious ceremony. 

Shaun has been a Criminal Defence 

Advocate for nearly 35 years and has worked 

tirelessly on cases ranging from murder 

to money laundering to firearms to drug 

trafficking. Shaun has also regularly appeared 

on British television quiz shows such as 

Fifteen-To-One, The Weakest Link, Greed, 

and Are You an Egghead?. Shaun catapulted 

to national prominence and recognition 

when, on the December 5th, 2004, he won 

the BBC’s renowned Mastermind. 

His subject in the final was “FA Cup finals 

since 1970” - with a score of 24 points and no 

passes. Amazing. 

Since 2009, he has become a household 

name, regularly appearing as ‘The Dark 

Destroyer’ on the smash ITV hit quiz show, 

The Chase. All this hard work, endless hours 

of study, his relentless “try again … and 

again” attitude have helped turn him into 

the man he is today: staunchly just and fair, 

ruthless when he needs to be, kind, fun, and 

a fiercely loyal friend. 

The proceeds from the show will go to 

Diabetes Christchurch and the prizemoney 

to the winning charity.

City cycleway routes roll onwards 

A CYCLEWAY connecting 

the central city with Rolleston 

will soon be under way, with 

construction due to commence 

on three new sections of 

Christchurch’s cycleway network. 

The South Express cycleway, 

which was consulted on last year, 

will run from the CBD through 

Riccarton, Sockburn and Hornby, 

to reach Templeton. It passes 

a number of schools and will 

connect to the Selwyn District 

Council’s planned cycle path 

to Rolleston. The work will be 

completed in stages starting at the 

city end. 

Stretching in the opposite 

direction will be the continuation 

of the Heathcote Expressway. 

Already linking the central city 

with The Tannery in Woolston, 

the route will continue out to 

Heathcote, providing a key commuter 

route as well as easy access 

by bike to Ferrymead Heritage 

Park. 

The third cycleway soon to be 

on the map is the Nor’West Arc, 

which will connect nine schools 

as it runs across the west of the 

city. Linking The Princess Margaret 

Hospital to University of 

Canterbury, the first part of this 

route will also serve to connect 

some of the existing and pending 

cycleways, such as Quarryman’s 

Trail, Little River Link, South 

Express, and Uni-Cycle. 

“These new routes are not only 

for the benefit of people on bikes,” 

said Lynette Ellis, Christchurch 

City Council’s planning and delivery 

transport manager. 

“Motorists and pedestrians will 

also enjoy improved safety and 

lighting at intersections, plus we’ll 

be repairing damaged infrastructure 

as we go.” 

As more of the cycleways link 

together, it becomes easier for 

people for give cycling a go, Ms 

Ellis said. 

“People who are new to biking 

feel comfortable using the new 

cycleways,” she explained, “and 

current riders are more likely to 

make different trips, like cycling 

with a child to school.” 

One resident who uses the 

Quarryman’s Trail cycleway for 

his daily commute from Beckenham 

to Lincoln is John Christie. 

Said Mr Christie: “About half 

my ride is off-road, and once the 

Halswell Junction Rd/Southern 

Motorway/Springs Rd intersection 

is completed that figure 

will jump to three-quarters. The 

remaining quarter is painted onroad 

cycleways.” 

Mr Christie enjoys the freedom 

that biking gives him. 

“I don’t get stuck in traffic, plus 

I’m not helping accelerate climate 

change. I find the exercise is very 

beneficial for my physical and 

mental health, and riding my bike 

is much cheaper than running a 

car.” 

The co-owner of Action Bicycle 

Club, Ken Ching, is finding the

cycleways are not just providing 

a safe and pleasant pathway to 

different parts of the city. 

“The infrastructure is more 

than just about transport,” he 

said. 

“It’s improving our public space 

and social cohesion. It’s helping 

create a liveable city.” 

Alice Terrien, of Bellbird Bakery, 

agrees. 

“The cycleways are great; direct 

and safe. Biking is the fastest, 

easiest, most hassle-free way for 

me to get to work.” Her bakery 

uses a cargo-bike to make deliveries 

and run errands around the 

central city. 

“We didn’t want to purchase a

to a car, the cargo-bike is more 

Biketober runs until 

October 31. The full 

programme can be found 

at biketoberchch.nz 

convenient to use, is often faster, 

and it’s fun.” 

Ms Terrien believes the cycleway 

network makes the city more 

appealing to locals and visitors 

alike. 

“I can’t see why Christchurch 

couldn’t become the Amsterdam 

of the south,” she said. 

As the infrastructure for 

Christchurch’s bicycles continues 

to develop, so too does the city’s 

biking culture. Biketober, the 

annual, month-long festival of 

the cycle, is on now and offers 

a diverse programme of events, 

from guided rides to workshops, 

competitions to seminars, for all

EVEN THOUGH it has been a 

wet October there are plenty of 

tasks to do in the garden. 

All summer vegetables should 

now have been planted. This 

includes beans, beetroot, cabbage, 

celery, corn, cucumber, lettuce, 

courgettes, spring onions, peas, 

pumpkin, radish, spinach, 

tomatoes, silverbeet and 

kumara. 

Make sure your developing 

vegetables are well watered – with 

the recent rain be careful not to 

over water. 

Continue to ‘lateral’ (nip out 

shoots that appear between the 

junction of a leaf and the stem) 

tomatoes and tie them to stakes 

for support. Keep staggering 

your vegetable plantings for 

continuous cropping over the 

season. 

New season herbs should also 

be planted in the next two weeks. 

It’s now safe to plant herbs like 

basil and coriander as the chance 

of frost is minimal. Remember 

herbs grow best in a fine, welldrained 

soil in full sun. They 

struggle in heavy clay soil and in 

shady parts of the garden. 

Often the best month for roses, 

full, clean blooms are growing 

on healthy plants. Side dress with 

fertiliser every 4-6 weeks. Dead 

head regularly to aid continuous 

blooming. 

For hedges, aim to trim them 

‘a little and often’– they are best 

trimmed after a flush of new 

season growth. Water and fertilise 

plants regularly to help achieve 

a strong dense hedge. This is 

especially important with newly 

planted hedges. 

Mulching is incredibly 

important over the next few 

months to keep your garden 

healthy. 

The best mulch is a form of 

organic matter that is applied as 

a layer on top of your soil in your 

garden, around plants, trees, and 

especially in your pots, to help 

protect them against the elements 


Don’t let wet ground stop you gardening 

and retain moisture. 

Timing the application of 

mulch is very important and 

it’s better to wait until soil 

temperatures have risen. In the 

colder areas of New Zealand; 

such as parts of the South 

Island, apply mulch in mid-late 

November. In warmer regions, 

mulch can be applied from now 

until early November. 

This is the last month to sow or 

patch large parts of your existing 

lawn before it becomes too dry. 

For a lush green lawn, fertilise 

regularly with fertiliser and water 

it in well.

GARDENING 


Lights can be fun 

and decorative 

GARDEN lighting is 

practical. 

Lights on a pathway will 

help you and your friends 

find their way to your 

front door in the dead of 

night, and will help deter 

unwanted guests. 

But it doesn’t have to 

stop there. Lights can 

also be fun, dramatic and 

creative. 

When you add lighting 

to your garden, follow the 

philosophy ‘‘less-is-more’’ 

and you will add a new 

dimension to your garden. 

Place a light behind a pot 

or statue, this will create 

interesting silhouettes. 

Add a submersible light 

to your water ponds or 

water feature. 

Light up a painted wall 

as a back drop to a favourite 

garden bed or plant 

feature. 

Place down lights in a 

tree to create pools of light 

on featured plants or ornaments. 

Lights will let you 

enjoy the garden at night 

SAFETY: Light up your driveway. 

throughout the year. A 

simple flick of a switch 

can make the winter night 

garden a fantastic composition 

when viewed from 

inside, and help to brighten 

up those dark gloomy 

nights. 

Lay out your cable 

around the desired area 

from the point where 

it will connect to the 

transformer ensuring you 

follow any directions on 

the transformer and its 

packaging. Plug transformer 

into a weatherproof 

exterior power point 

and switch on. 

At twilight, you can 

adjust the position and 

angles of the lights, if 

required. Your lighting is 

ready for you to enjoy.

COREOPSIS ARE a 

fantastic plant to grow at 

this time of year. 

Planted now, they will 

thrive in the summer sun 

– which, fingers crossed, 

should arrive at some 

point. 

Their love of the sun 

makes them super easycare. 

Once planted, unless 

there’s a drought, they don’t 

need much watering at all. 

Three varieties which 

produce, bright, yellow, 

sunny flowers are early 

sunrise, rising sun and 

sunburst. 

Early sunrise has green 

leaves with golden-yellow, 

semi-double flowers. Rising 

sun produces double 

golden-yellow flowers with 

red eyes. Sunburst also 

produces golden-yellow, 

semi-double and double 

flowers. 

All three make great 

borders and lovely cut 

flowers. 

Once you’ve got your 

plants, be sure to grow 

them in the sunniest spot 

in your garden around 40- 

50cm apart. 

Give them a light watering 

and then let them do 

their thing. 

COLOUR: Coreopsis make great borders and 

lovely cut flowers. 

When they start 

flowering be sure to 

deadhead (remove the dead 

flower heads) to encourage 

them to keep producing 

flowers. 

And in late summer you 

can either leave them to 

do their thing or cut them 

back by one-third to get 

them flowering again. 

Not all varieties of 

coreopsis are perennials, 

but many are, so every 

two to three years in early 

spring you can dig up the 

plants, divide them and 

expand your garden.

The start of a blooming garden 

THE JOY of spring is that there 

are plenty of jobs to do in the 

garden, especially now the soil is 

warming up. 

Towards the end of October, 

early season varieties of 

strawberries will begin to ripen. 

Check plants regularly for signs 

of grey mould (botrytis), and 

remove any affected leaves and 

fruit. 

Add pea straw, hay or clean 

bark mulch around the plants 

to provide a clean ‘nest’ for 

developing strawberries. 

Raspberries, boysenberries, 

loganberries and blackberries 

should be growing at a very fast 

rate as we move through the 

month. 

Train canes on a wall or a 

wire framework. It may be 

necessary to remove some 

surplus canes where growth is 

exceptional. Mulch with compost 

to suppress weeds and conserve 

soil moisture, and fruit and berry 

fertiliser. 

Lawns are now in very active 

growth and require regular 

mowing. Fertilise with lawn 

fertiliser and repeat every four to 

six weeks. 

This is the last month for 

‘easy’ laying of a new lawn or 

for patching and existing 

lawn. 

It’s a great time to plant up 

BEST DISPLAY OF YEAR: Roses should now be coming into bloom. 

your container gardens with 

ornamental annuals, perennials 

or herbs, and even small green 

salad veges. 

Always start with fresh 

container mix and ensure the 

containers are well drained. 

Summer annuals that thrive in 

containers include dwarf cosmos, 

marigolds, petunia, portulacas, 

salvias and zinnias. 

If you are establishing a new 

herb garden or restoring an 

existing one, try and position the 

herb garden close to the kitchen 

so it’s easy to access. 

Ideally, herbs prefer a sunny, 

well-drained position. You may 

need to plant more of the herbs 

you frequently use for example 

basil, chives, parsley. 

Roses will now start coming 

into their own. 

The first blooms are the best 

display of the year before the 

dreaded blackspot and rust 

appear. 

Fertilise them every four to 

six weeks with rose fertiliser as 

this enhances regular and ‘strong’ 

flowering. 

Mulch with compost to help 

retain soil moisture and ‘dead 

head’ (the removal of old flowers) 

regularly to help promote 

continuous flowering. 


GARDENING 33 

Keep safe by 

taking 

precautions 

SPRING IS a time when 

working in the garden is the 

place to be. 

However, there are hidden 

dangers and one of those is 

developing legionnaires’ disease. 

Here are some guidelines to 

avoid that happening 

•Minimise the amount of dust 

present when working in the 

garden. 

•Water gardens and indoor 

plants using a gentle spray. 

•Read the warning label on 

bagged composts or potting mix. 

•Wear gloves. 

•Wear a mask so that any dust 

is filtered out before you can 

breathe it in. 

•Dampen potting mixes 

before use. 

•Open bags of soil products 

slowly, away from the face. 

•Make sure the working area 

(for example, the glasshouse or 

potting shed) is well ventilated. 

•See a doctor if you develop a 

flu-like illness that seems to be 

worsening. 

•Wash hands thoroughly 

after gardening or handling soil 

products. 

These are simple, easy and 

natural steps that all gardeners 

can take to reduce risk while 

continuing to enjoy their 

garden.

SPORT 

On Saturday, Canterbury 

have a shot of winning 

their third straight Farah 

Palmer Cup title. The Star 

continues its Canterbury 

sporting legends series by 

taking a look back at a tryscoring 

machine from the 

late 1980s and early 1990s, 

who also represented the 

province in netball. Sports 

reporter Gordon Findlater 

caught up with Helen 

Mahon-Stroud 

WHEN HELEN Mahon-Stroud 

began playing rugby in the late 

1980s the sport was in a far 

different position than today. 

The former New Zealand 

winger got introduced to the 

sport somewhat by chance when 

Canterbury netball teammate 

and Black Ferns legend Anna 

Richards was on the hunt for a 

ringer. 

“I think it was after a Canterbury 

netball training one Sunday 

morning. Anna [Richards] said 

she was off to play rugby and 

that they were short on players 

and did I want to go along, so 

I ended up going from Hagley 

netball courts across to South 

Hagley rugby fields and putting 

on someone’s spare boots which 

were about two sizes too big 

. . . I played on the wing, scored 

a couple of tries and that was it,” 

said Mahon-Stroud. 

“I ended up going home and 

saying to my father: ‘Wow I’ve 

just played a game of rugby,’ to 

which he replied in the very traditional 

sense: ‘Girls don’t play 

rugby,’ and that was the beginning 

of a rugby career.” 

Her early rugby days were 

spent playing for the Crusadettes 

– a Canterbury University team 

put together by Laurie O’Reilly 

who converted many netballers 

to the game. 

“Kay O’Reilly was the matriarch 

of the Hearts club. Her 

husband Laurie used to come 

down to netball and was running 

a bit of a talent ID and recruitment 

programme. He used to 

come down and spot all the tall 

netballers and say: ‘You’ll be a 

lock,’ or: ‘You’re quick, you’ll play 

on the wing.” 

The Crusadettes broke new 

ground when they toured the 

United States and Europe in 

1988 which saw them play in 

six different countries. The 

team won 17 from 21 matches 

abroad and racked up a staggering 

520 points with only 67 

conceded. 


Helen Mahon-Stroud: Women’s rugby pioneer 

“We were sleeping on floors of 

clubrooms. In Wales we slept on 

the floor at a pub . . . I look back 

at it now and you just think how 

crazy it was, but what it did for 

us in terms of us for our passion 

of the game was incredible,” said 

Mahon-Stroud. 

The side were a milestone 

for both Canterbury Women’s 

ROUND BALL: Mahon-Stroud played provincial netball for 

Canterbury before going onto coach the Tactix for their first 

four seasons in the transtasman competition. 

HONOURED: 

Helen 

Mahon- 

Stroud was 

among 46 

former Black 

Ferns who 

received test 

caps at a 

ceremony in 

Auckland last 

year. 

Rugby and New Zealand Rugby 

as 10 members played for the 

country’s first women’s team at 

the first ever Women’s Rugby 

World Cup in 1991 in Wales. 

Mahon-Stroud created a bit of 

world rugby history herself by 

scoring the tournament’s first try 

in a 24-8 win over Canada. New 

Zealand went onto be defeated 

by eventual winners United 

States 0-7. 

However, her fondest memory 

with rugby came just last year 

when she was one of 46 Black 

Ferns acknowledged at a capping 

ceremony at Eden Park which 

was held as a 20th-anniversary 

celebration of the Black Ferns 

first World Cup title in 1998. 

“A number of the former and 

current players performed a haka 

at the back of the room as we 

were presented with our caps. 

That was hugely emotional, it really 

hit home the culture and the 

value these women placed on the 

importance of that first team,” 

she said. 

Mahon-Stroud played both 

rugby and netball for Canterbury 

through the late 1980s and 

early 1990s. One year she says 

she even played both codes at 

both club and provincial levels 

at the same time which was 

manageable due to netball being 

played on Saturday and rugby on 

Sunday. 

In 1993 Mahon-Stroud 

finished playing rugby due to 

commitments with netball and 

beginning full-time work as a 

police officer. However, she continued 

playing national league 

netball through to 1998 before 

the birth of her first child Ben. 

Following her playing career 

Mahon-Stroud began a coaching 

career which started with humble 

beginnings as a player-coach 

with Heart’s B team and finished 

with her coaching the Tactix in 

the transtasman competition 

between 2008 and 2011. 

In 2008 and 2009 the Tactix 

finished a respectable eighth and 

sixth in the 10-team competition, 

but finished last in 2010 and 

2011. 

“It was a pretty challenging 

four years. Huge learning experience, 

but with it I was given a 

big opportunity. It was a new 

competition and the beginning 

of semi-professionalism. The 

insights that I got from that and 

the learnings was pretty huge,” 

said Mahon-Stroud. 

Mahon-Stroud also spent 

three-and-a-half years with 

New Zealand Cricket as the 

White Ferns’ high performance 

manager before returning to the 

police where she now works as 

an investigator. 

“After 23 years it’s what I 

know, what I’m good at and what 

I enjoy. Being back working for 

the police is really nice, it’s like 

coming back home,” she said. 

“One of the things that attracted 

me to working for the 

police in the first place was that it 

is a very big team environment. 

You work with people, you work 

for people and in sport that’s no 

different.” 

While working full-time in 

sport has been put on the backburner 

for now she says she will 

“never say never” to another high 

performance role.

CANTERBURY coach Kieran 

Kite says his side are taking a 

robust approach and training 

hard this week as they build to 

the Farah Palmer Cup final on 

Saturday. 

The two-time defending 

champions have a chance to 

make the 

three-peat 

and finish 

the season 

undefeated 

when they 

face Auckland 

at Rugby Park. 

After a slow 

start which 

saw them 

trail Counties 

Manukau 

with 20min to play in their 31-22 

semi-final win over the weekend, 

Canterbury are seeking to make 

a strong start in the final. Kite 

believes a lighter approach to 

training last week did not help 

their performance. 

“There was some good stuff 


A DODGY shoulder didn’t stop 

Matt Holstein hitting the stumps 

from the deep to take a matchwinning 

direct run out and help 

defending one-day premiership 

champions St Albans to a tworun 

win over Burnside West 

Christchurch University. 

With just over six overs 

remaining in the match on 

Saturday at Burnside Park, the 

home side trailed by two runs 

with one wicket in hand at 134/9. 

When all-rounder Matthew 

Hay, who amassed 80 runs from 

120 deliveries, squirted a ball 

into the leg side, two runs looked 

on the cards after making the 

turn at the non-striker’s end. 

However, testing the left-arm of 

Holstein, who was fielding near 

the boundary at fine leg, proved 

costly when the spinner’s throw 

hit the wickets to win the match. 

“I was trying to hide myself at 

fine leg like I tend to do, hoping 

the ball wouldn’t come to me. 

It went to my left, I picked it up 

and Matt Hay probably knew his 

fielder pretty well and realised 

I don’t traditionally have the 

best arm because of my dodgy 

shoulder and decided to take it 

on, which is probably the smart 

play. But that’s just cricket,” said 

Holstein.

Earlier in the match, Burnside 

West’s Sam Carlaw wreaked 

havoc by picking up five wickets 

for 13 runs from 10 overs, while 

a handy 44 from Tyler Lorton 

helped the Saints through to 

136/8. Burnside West then 

looked to be dead in the water at 

53/7 before the inspired innings 

from Hayn with help from Josh 

Peake who contributed 16 while 

seeing out 47 balls. 

The Saints’ victory was their 

second down-to-the-wire win 

in just three weeks. In their 

opening match, they made four 

late run outs to complete a threerun 

victory over Riccarton, 

which needed just 10 runs to win 

with six wickets in hand.

Holstein.

opponent this weekend. 

“They’ve got a good all-round 

game and play at a high tempo. 

They’ll punch you through the 

middle and then hit you out 

wide,” said Kite. 

One area Canterbury may look 

to test Auckland is by pressuring 

the side’s 16-year-old first-five 

Patricia Maliepo. 

A strength in his own side Kite 

will hope can reap rewards on 

Saturday is their set piece, which 

has been a large focus for the

“We brought in Simon

Pride need to win 

home and away to 

boost final hopes 


A DOUBLE-HEADER southern 

derby this weekend will be 

pivotal to Canterbury United 

Pride’s hopes of qualifying for 

another National Women’s 

League final. 

The Pride had their perfect 

start to this year’s campaign 

bought to halt by Northern 

Lights 1-3 at English Park over 

the weekend. Now they will face 

third-placed Southern away on 

Saturday before hosting them 

again on Monday. 

“I have put emphasis on this 

weekend being more important 

than dropping three points last 

weekend,” said Pride coach Alana 

Gunn. 

“As a group the feeling is fine. 

We’re still on target for what our 

goal is and dropping three points 

wasn’t the end of the world.” 

Southern are currently two 

points behind Canterbury, meaning 

the Pride have a chance to 

potentially open the gap on their 

rivals to eight. 

However, Gunn knows that 

will be a tough task against the 

southerners who have improved 

vastly in recent years and turned 

heads with a 5-5 draw against 

Northern last month. She expects 

STRIKER: Nicola 

Dominikovich fought hard 

during the Pride’s 1-3 loss to

their physical and direct game 

to be on full display over the two 

games. 

“They’ve been really effective 

with that. They put five goals past 

Northern, which is impressive,” 

she said. 

The match is also expected to 

have a rivalry feel. The majority 

of the players know each other 

having come through South 

Island age group camps and tournaments 

together. 

“It will be interesting because 

we have Lara [Wall] and Britney- 

Lee [Nicholson] who played for 

Southern last year. Lara has been 

right through their system the 

whole time so it will be interesting 

to see how she feels. I think 

she’s quite looking forward to it,” 

said Gunn. 


Bulls face NRL stars 


THE CANTERBURY Bulls 

have the rare chance to test 

themselves against some of the 

NRL’s biggest stars when they 

host Samoa at Nga Puna Wai 

tomorrow night. 

While the odds will firmly 

be stacked in favour of Samoa 

outclassing the provincial side, 

Canterbury will have hopes of 

causing an upset and replicating 

the accomplishments of the 1990 

side which upset a touring Great 

Britain side 18-10. 

“It’s pretty cool that it’s happened 

in Canterbury with us 

beating a national team before, 

we’ll definitely be using that as 

inspiration,” said Canterbury 

Bulls coach Andrew Auimatagi. 

Matt Parish’s Samoa side 

arrived in Christchurch on Tuesday 

full of NRL talent. He says 

a full strength side will be put 

out on Friday night which they 

are using as a dress rehearsal for 

their test against Fiji in Auckland 

on November 2. 

“We think it’s ideal preparation 

other than being a bit chilly 

. . . the new facilities in Christchurch 

are fantastic,” said Parish, 

who saw Canterbury defeat New 

South Wales Country earlier this 

month 17-16. 

“They’ve got some big boys 

who can run the ball and a good 

half [Tevin Arona] that played 

for Cook Islands at the nines 

STAR POWER: Sea Eagles prop/lock Martin Taupau is one of 

many NRL players in the Samoa side. 

‘The new facilities in 

Christchurch are fantastic’

over the weekend, so they will be

Tonight Samoa will hold an 

open training session for the 

public at Nga Puna Wai from 

4-5pm. 

•Entry for Friday’s match is 

$15 for adults and $5 for 16 and 

under. Kick-off 7.30pm.

in brief 

Over-50s provincial 

cricket tournament 

Christchurch will host New 

Zealand’s best over-50 cricketers 

in the next four days. The 

inaugural over-50s interprovincial 

tournament will see 

four teams play each other in a 

round-robin followed by a grandfinal. 

The teams are Auckland, 

Districts, Wellington/Tasman and 

Canterbury/Otago. Canterbury/ 

Otago are due to open their 

campaign against Wellington/ 

Tasman at Burnside Park today. 

They then play Auckland at 

Hagley Park’s nursery ground on 

Friday and Districts at Burnside 

on Sunday. The final will be at the 

nursery ground on Monday. 

Van Klink wins NZ Rally 

Championship section 

Christchurch’s Marcus van Klink 

has secured the two-wheel drive 

section of the New Zealand Rally 

Championship after a thrilling 

battle in the final round at the 

Rally of Waitomo. Van Klink 

came into the round in his triple 

rotor Mazda RX8 tied on points 

with Anthony Jones in a Ford 

Escort. Jones took the first three 

stage wins to open a 26sec gap. 

Van Klink reduced it to 7sec 

after a win on stage four. Going 

into the sixth and final stage, 

he trailed Jones by 9sec. On the 

43km, Jones was forced to retire 

with mechanical issues, giving 

van Klink the title. 

Cricket schedule a shambles 

THIS WEEK has seen some of 

the best quality cricket played 

at Hagley Oval since it became 

Christchurch’s home of cricket, 

but you likely wouldn’t have had 

a chance to witness it. 

Since Monday, Canterbury 

and a star-studded Northern 

Districts side have been battling 

it out in the season’s opening 

four-day Plunket Shield match at 

Hagley Oval. 

Monday and the early part 

of Tuesday saw a Canterbury 

side containing Black Caps 

Tom Latham, Henry Nicholls 

and Todd Astle battle to an 

impressive 390 against a ND 

bowling line-up containing 

Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Neil 

Wagner, Ish Sodhi and Mitchell 

Santner. 

What a great spectacle to 

wander along to Hagley Oval 

and witness for free – well for 

anyone who doesn’t work during 

the week or attend school. 

It’s no secret that sport at a 

provincial or domestic level 

in New Zealand is waning in 

interest, but sometimes you 

can’t help but think sporting 

organisations aren’t doing 

themselves any favours with 

promoting their game. 

It would have been well known 

for some time by New Zealand 

Cricket that Black Caps players 

were going to be available for the 

opening round of the Plunket 

Shield. With Canterbury and 

ND stacked with Black Caps 

at Hagley Oval – including 

captain Kane Williamson – it 

seems nothing short of a wasted 

opportunity not to start the 

game at the weekend rather than 

on Monday. 

To rub salt into the wound

the weekend was an absolute 

belter. The thought of spending 

Sunday in the sun on the grass 

embankment watching three 

of the world’s top 10 ranked 

test batsmen and two of the 10 

bowlers is tantalising, not to 

mention it wouldn’t cost a cent. 

It’s just as much a loss to Joe 

Public hunting for something 

to do in Christchurch at the 

weekend other than joining 

every other person in the city 

at the latest nook and cranny 

which has opened up as part of 

the rebuild in the CBD. 

On Monday, Nicholls and 

Cole McConchie both scored 

centuries during a partnership 

of 182, which set a new 

Canterbury fourth-wicket 

record. Their stand broke a mark 

of 181 that was set by Vaughn 

Brown and Latham’s father Rod 

more than 30 years ago. 

It’s a shame the milestone 

couldn’t be celebrated in front of 

at least a couple of hundred who 

would have surely wandered 

down to see witness the high 

profile Black Caps making a rare 

domestic cricket appearance. 

Instead it was met with the 

applause of around 30 purists 

who had ventured down from 

their over-60s units with the 

quintessential camping chair 

and Thermos flask. 

I’m all for the instalment of 

lights at Hagley Oval – which is 

going through public feedback 

currently – however, I can’t help 

but be cynical about the fact 

we’re going to such lengths to 

gain an audience in India when 

the powers that be can’t put a 

little more thought into making 

our domestic game more 

accessible.

Haul those big loads in a Toyota Hiace 

IF YOU ARE a courier driver in 

Christchurch, the chances are 

you are probably driving a Toyota 

Hiace van. 

I can say that with absolute 

confidence, for several years Star 

Media was located opposite a 

courier company and there was 

a constant succession of Hiaces 

arriving and departing. 

Sure, there were other brands 

but they were few. Toyota has 

captured that market well and if 

you take into account the number 

that are used by tradies and companies, 

New Zealand has been a 

lucrative market for Toyota. 

For those who like the square, 

boxy shape of Hiace, don’t be 

disappointed, there’s no sign of it 

ending its lifecycle anytime soon. 

However, there’s also a new Hiace 

on the market, and the two will 

dovetail in the light commercial 

segment. 

The new van is quite a departure 

from what we see as 

the traditional Hiace, its nose 

protrudes from the front, housing 

the engine which sits forward and 

under the windscreen line. 

However, don’t be fooled, the 

engine still sits longitudinally and 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

drives through the rear wheels, 

Toyota haven’t yet been lured into 

making the Hiace front-wheeldrive 

like some of its rivals. 

The newcomer arrives here in 

five variations, four of those are ZR 

specification, panel and glass vans, 

and a 10-seat mini bus. There’s also 

a long-wheelbase ZX variant. 

This evaluation encompasses 

the ZR glass van and the jumbo 

ZX, the latter is simply enormous 

at almost 6m, and although it was 

a single side door model only, 

those landing from September 

will have twin sliders, one on 

each side. 

The ZX’s cargo carrying space 

is massive, it’s a monster in terms 

of presence, it won’t fit into a 

standard car park space, and 

every time you are leaving the vehicle 

you need to be conscious of 

how much of the planet you are 

claiming. I took the ZX into the 

New World supermarket car park 

in Wigram and had to use four 

parks so that it wouldn’t block 

any accessways. 

The ZR on the other hand, is 

a lot more manageable; at 5.2m 

it’s not quite so selfish, but the 

benefit of both variants is that the 

TOYOTA HIACE: Short or long-wheelbase models. 

load space is cavernous. 

Generally I’ve been pretty lucky 

having load bearing vehicles 

coinciding with items that have 

needed to be transported. During 

my time with both Hiaces, 

I managed to use them both for 

carrying duties – green waste 

to the recycling centre and an 

unexpected shopping expedition 

where my wife and I bought several 

bulky items of furniture, the 

latter devoured easily in the ZX. 

Apart from its voluminous 

cargo carrying space – 6200-litres 

(ZR) and 9300-litres (ZX) – the 

new Hiace stands out for its 

comparative high comfort levels, 

once you’re in either of the two 

front seats, bearing in mind it 

is a bit of climb up, support and 

cushioning is in abundance. One 

of the benefits of the engine sitting 

forward is the amount of in-cabin 

space and quiet operating manner. 

There are plenty of knick-knack 

• Price – Toyota Hiace ZR, 

$44,990 (ZX, $50,990) 

• Dimensions – Length, 

5265mm (5915mm); width, 

1950mm; height, 1990mm 

(2280mm) 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

rear-wheel-drive, 

2755cc, 130kW, 450Nm, 

six-speed manual or 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 10.1sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.5l/100km 

trays, drink holders and pockets 

for all those essentials that the 

business operator would need in 

his/her daily travels. 

Along with a new look, the 

new Hiace also gets a new engine. 

It’s the 2.8-litre four-cylinder 

turbocharged diesel that first 

found its way here in Hilux three 

or four years ago. It stands out for 

its power, efficiency and smooth 

operation. A lot of the latter is 

attributed to its positioning out of 

the cabin proper, it must be said 

refinement in the new Hiace is 

remarkable. 

Power is rated at 130kW and 

450Nm, it needs those healthy 

outputs, even empty the Hiace is 

tubby at 2235kg (ZR) and 2305kg 

(ZX), but I’m sure that with a 

load on there will be plenty of 

power for all applications. 

On the subject of figures, one of 

the most important to any owner/ 

operator will be that of fuel usage. 

From my experience of this 

power plant in the Hilux it is a bit 

of a fuel miser. 

Toyota claims a 7.5-litre per 

100km (38mpg) combined cycle 

average for the ZR in manual form, 

as tested. The ZX automatic is listed 

at 8.4l/100km (34mpg) which I 

would expect to be quite achievable 

depending on driving style. 

Yes, it must also be remembered 

that six-speed manual and 

automatic transmission options 

are still offered in the Hiace 

range, the ZR was a manual, 

and for those who like manuals 

I can report it is a beauty with 

slick shifts and clutch action that 

doesn’t tax the leg. 

The Hiace also qualifies for a 

five-star Australasian New Car 

Assessment Program safety rating 

and that is mega in this part of 

the market.

Tips for first home buyers 

Struggling to get on the property ladder and feeling fed 

up? You’re not alone. Real Estate Authority (REA) research 

has found that more than half of all first home buyers – even 

the ones who successfully buy a property – find the process 

stressful and overwhelming. 

“We know it’s hard for people when they’re trying to buy 

their first home – it’s a complex legal process and a huge 

financial deal,” says REA chief executive Kevin Lampen- 

Smith. 

1. SORT OUT YOUR FINANCES 

You’ll already know that saving is a big part of getting ready 

to buy, but do you know what else you need to do? 

Getting financial advice from a qualified advisor could be a 

useful step in your planning. Owning a property means you’re 

responsible for all the maintenance and repairs – and for 

paying rates and insurance. 

“It’s also a good idea to get conditional pre-approved 

finance arranged so you can move quickly when you spot 

a property you really like,” Lampen-Smith says. “Having 

conditional pre-approval lets you know the price range you 

can buy in and it shows agents and sellers that you’re a serious 

buyer. It’s also crucial if you’re planning to bid on a property 

at auction.” 

Don’t forget to explore ways that you might be able to 

get help from the Government. There are various forms of 

assistance available if you’re a KiwiSaver member, buying in 

certain areas, want to buy a former Housing New Zealand 

property or are Māori and want to live on your ancestral land. 

2. NEEDS VS WANTS 

Many first home buyers discover a big gap between what 

they’d like to buy and what they can afford when they first 

start looking. 

“Sit down and write a tight list of what your absolute musthaves 

are, then work out what you’re willing to compromise 

on,” Lampen-Smith says. 

If you’re thinking about pets and children arriving in the 

short-to-medium term, think about how these will change 

your needs. Will you need to be near to childcare or schools? 

Will you need a fenced property? 

3. DO YOUR HOMEWORK 

Don’t let your desperation to find somewhere blind you to 

a property’s faults. 

“Do as much research as you can about a property,” 

Lampen-Smith says. “That means getting a lawyer on board 

to make sure all the paperwork is in order and to help you 

understand if there are any issues. We also recommend getting 

a qualified building inspector who has professional indemnity 

insurance to prepare a comprehensive report on the property.” 

If you’re worried about paying for this kind of report before 

you make an offer (due to a lack of time or funds), you can 

make them a condition of your offer. 

4. RECOGNISE YOUR LIMITS 

Buying a ‘doer-upper’ is a Kiwi tradition, especially for 

first-home buyers, but we’re not all blessed with the right 

skills. Factor this in before you make an offer on a ‘renovator’s 

dream’. 

“Getting professionals in to help will cost more, but it will 

also make the process faster. It may also be better in the long 

term when it comes to selling the property if any work has 

been done properly with the right consents.”
