Harness 

racing 

figure 

banned 

over drugs 

• By Louis Day 

A RISING harness racing 

star has been banned for six 

months for supplying drugs to 

other drivers and refusing to 

supply information to racing 

investigators about the drug deal. 

Canterbury-based trainer and 

driver Matthew Jason Anderson, 

27, has been disqualified by the 

statutory racing body, Judicial 

Control Authority, after a hearing 

last month. 

The JCA released its decision to 

The Star yesterday. 

Anderson was charged with 

supplying two “prominent 

harness reinsmen” with Class 

B drug ecstasy and refusing 

to provide investigators from 

the Racing Integrity Unit with 

information about his supply 

and possession of a prohibited 

substance. 

The names of the two 

drivers are suppressed because 

of ongoing criminal court 

proceedings. 

Anderson was arrested by 

police in 2018 during Operation 

Inca, an undercover operation 

into race-fixing and drug-related 

matters within the harness racing 

industry.

Huge response to call for death penalty 

MOSQUE shooting survivor 

Mohammad Alayan’s call for the 

death penalty to be reintroduced 

in New Zealand has prompted 

a huge response from The Star 

readers. 

Dr Alayan was at the Al Noor 

Mosque on March 15, 2019, 

when he was shot in the head 

and chest. His son, Atta, was 

killed. 

Calendar Girls launches 

first Playboy-style mansion 

• By Kurt Bayer 

NEW ZEALAND’S first Playboystyle 

mansion is about to be 

unveiled. 

Voting has begun to select 10 

strippers to live in a sprawling, 

multi-million dollar Christchurch 

mansion for 12 weeks 

and have their every move recorded 

by 18 high-tech cameras 

and streamed live online. 

Cameras will be placed inside 

bedrooms, changing areas, 

lounges, movie room and bar, as 

well as around a heated swimming 

pool and spa. 

CG’s Mansion has been 

launched by Calendar Girls, 

which has R18 strip joints in 

Christchurch, Wellington and in 

Auckland’s Karangahape Rd. 

It’s understood that if the mansion 

is successful, they will look 

to replicate the idea in Wellington 

and Auckland. 

It has been described as a 

scantily-clad, adults-only Big 

Brother house. 

“Nobody else has ever tried 

doing anything like this before 

in New Zealand,” says Calendar 

Girls’ “house mum” Courtney. 

“You can get sick of Netflix 

pretty quick – this will be something 

completely different.” 

The 10 strippers will live inside 

the luxury two-storey property for 

free and be waited on by a chef, 

bartender, and house cleaner. 

They will also host Sunday 

pool parties with live DJs where 

Said Dr Alayan: 

“Since March 15, my 

heart is yearning for 

restoration of justice 

to the victims of the 

heinous massacre, and 

a call for the death 

penalty for the brutal 

and conscienceless 

criminal. 

“Crimes like the one 

punters can bid at online auctions 

to attend. They’ll also 

have cocktail nights and formal 

dining. 

The house will be livestreaming 

24/7 but Courtney thinks 

they’ll be taking Mondays off. 

After 12 weeks, the highest 

earner will take home a MG 3 

car. 

“From pool parties to pillow 

fights … what could possibly go 

wrong?” CGs says online, saying 

it will give “10 gorgeous girls the 

chance to live their best life in an 

actual mansion.” 

Said Courtney: “Lingerie is the 

maximum amount of clothing. 

It’s like the Big Brother house but 

we’ve been joking we should call 

it Little Sister.” 

Mohammad 

Alayan 

committed on March 

15, are so heinous and 

inherently wrong that 

they demand the death 

penalty to deter such 

heinous crimes in the 

future, and to keep the 

society safe. 

“The death penalty 

is a must if justice is to 

prevail.’’ 

Calendar Girls launched CGs 

Live during the lockdown after 

their clubs were forced to close 

with dancers giving online shows 

from home. 

But CGs bosses found that 

many customers wanted to be 

more than pure voyeurs and 

sought interaction with the 

dancers to “find out more about 

them”. 

The online move proved so 

successful, the adult entertainment 

company began redesigning 

its site. 

“We apologise to everyone 

we annoyed with the disruption 

while we were redesigning the 

site and that’s why we’re giving 

a $100 voucher to every current 

subscriber,” Courtney said. 

Dr Alayan said he understood 

New Zealand’s law did not have 

capital punishment, so in lieu 

of death, he would call on the 

judge to sentence the terrorist 

to life-long imprisonment 

without parole, and immediate 

deportation to Australia, where 

he was from.

University to replace 

coal boiler 

Canterbury University will 

replace its coal boiler with an 

eco-friendly option by March 

2022, which will reduce its 

carbon emissions by 9000 

tonnes per year. It is one of six 

projects across the country 

getting a share of $12.7 million 

from the Crown’s clean 

powered public service fund. 

UC will use $9.36m of its own 

money on top of the $6.34m 

of Government funding to 

replace its current boiler with 

a biomass boiler. UC has been 

using 4300 to 6270 tonnes 

of coal annually to heat its 

campus. 

Cash for Canty fire 

station upgrades 

The Government has 

announced a $23.8m 

cash boost for fire station 

improvements across 

Canterbury, including $12m 

to build a new fit-for-purpose 

Christchurch City Fire Station 

on its old site in Kilmore St. It 

is part of a $57.5m project for 

rebuilds and upgrades across 

the country. Around $3m 

has been approved to rebuild 

Sumner Fire Station, which 

was also significantly damaged 

during the Christchurch 

earthquakes. 

Mediation under way 

over donations 

Muslim groups are in 

mediation to break an impasse 

holding up the distribution 

of $2 million donated to 

Christchurch victims of the 

March 15, 2019, mosque 

shooting. Factions within 

the Federation of Muslim 

Associations have been in a 

dispute since earlier this year. 

A High Court hearing has 

been scheduled and in the 

meantime, a panel of eminent 

Muslim have convened in 

Wellington to mediate and 

avoid court action. Parties say 

the negotiations have gone well 

and a resolution is likely. If an 

agreement can be reached, the 

court will be able to unfreeze 

the federation’s bank accounts.

‘Chaos’ as deadly fire destroys house 

• From page 1 

The description of the page 

reads: “Your donations will help 

the family of Brayden and Arianna 

cover funeral costs and help them 

get back on their feet without 

the financial burden that will 

accompany this horrific loss.” 

The father and four children 

were the only occupants of the 

house when fire broke out. 

At a press conference 

yesterday, Fire and Emergency 

NZ assistant area commander 

Mike Bowden said Brayden was 

rescued from the 

burning house but 

he died at the scene 

shortly after. 

Mr Bowden 

described 

Eddie 

Rodden 

the bedroom 

Arianna was in as 

“unsurvivable” and 

said the fire could 

have taken just three minutes to 

spread. 

He said the house had smoke 

alarms, which helped the father 

and two other children escape. 

A neighbour, whose house backs 

onto the damaged property, said he 

heard screams and the crackle of 

flames at 10.30pm. 

He quickly rushed out of bed 

and grabbed his garden hose, 

pointing it towards the burning 

house. 

The man said he saw the fire 

crew carry a young boy out of the 

burning house last night. 

Two others in the home when 

the fire broke out were taken to 

hospital for treatment. 

Fire investigator Wayne 

Hamilton was at the scene on 

Wednesday to determine the cause 

of the fire. He said the investigation 

will continue until Friday. 

Neighbour Eddie Rodden 

described the fire as “chaos, really”. 

He said he woke to noise and 

the smell of smoke, and he looked 

outside to see two ambulances 

and police. 

Three fire crews arrived to 

find the single-storey home well 

involved. 

Another Vivian St resident, 

who wanted to remain 

anonymous, captured footage of 

the fire, which can be viewed on 

StarNews.co.nz and said he feared 

for his own safety. 

He was one of the first people

two ambulances and two rapid

Thwarting social media aim of 

new police drink driving tactic 


POLICE ARE using new tactics 

to catch drink drivers in a bid to 

thwart social media sites warning 

them where checkpoints are. 

One or two patrol cars are now 

being put into in high risk drink 

driving areas instead of the usual 

highly visible booze buses. They 

set up on the side of the road 

with a sign telling vehicles to pull 

over where the driver is tested. 

Inspector Greg Cottam said 

a key reason for the micro 

checkpoints is because Facebook 

groups like Christchurch Police 

Check Points are warning 

motorists where booze buses are. 

The Facebook page is not a 

police site. 

“We’re always changing our 

techniques. Obviously, with 

social media, it gets around 

where the checkpoints are,” said 

Inspector Cottam. 

He said the strategy was 

proving successful. 

“But unfortunately, we’re still 

catching people who have been 

drink driving but it hasn’t been 

as high as it could be, which is a 

positive thing.” 

Police launched an antidrink 

driving campaign at the 

start of this month. In the first 

week 3474 drivers were breathtested 

at police checkpoints 

in Canterbury. Nineteen were 

over the breath alcohol limit of 

250mcg/l limit. 

Bigger police checkpoints are 

still taking place but the addition 

of micro checkpoints is part of a 

police effort to stop drink drivers 

from avoiding them. 

Inspector Cottam said they are 

significantly less time consuming 

to set up and require far fewer 

police resources than booze 

buses. 

“The booze buses are set up 

with the full evidential breath 

testing machine. We now have 

hand-held devices where we 

can do the full process on the 

roadside and get that evidential 

reading rather than needing to 

go back to a police station, 

so that all helps at the micro 

checkpoints.” 

CLAMPDOWN: Micro 

checkpoints are being 

trialled in Canterbury to 

catch motorists trying to 

avoid breath tests by viewing 

Facebook groups like 

Christchurch Police Check 

Points.

Defence lawyers fight to keep evidence 

• From page 1 

He pleaded guilty to three 

charges relating to the possession 

and supply of ecstasy in the 

district court in December the 

following year. Judge Raoul 

Neave discharged Anderson 

without conviction. 

Anderson was then charged 

by the RIU which led to his JCA 

appearance and ban. 

He denied both charges at the 

JCA hearing. 

Anderson’s ban comes as 

lawyers acting for a number of 

harness racing figures fight to 

keep evidence gathered by the 

police during Operation Inca 

from the RIU – the industry’s 

investigative unit. 

The RIU is seeking the 

evidence so it can determine 

whether to prosecute individuals 

facing a number of criminal 

charges. They would then go 

before the JCA and potentially 

face bans. 

Widespread court suppression 

orders on the evidence are in 

place. 

The Anderson disqualification 

also comes only a week after 

prominent Canterbury trainer 

and driver Nigel McGrath 

was banned for eight years 

after pleading guilty to three 

serious racing offences. They 

were unrelated to Anderson’s 

offending. 

McGrath was charged with 

attempting to administer a 

prohibited substance to a horse, 

refusing to make a statement 

on the matter, and obstructing 

racecourse investigators. 

The charges arose after the 

RIU raided McGrath’s West 

Melton property in March, hours 

before two of his horses - Steel 

The Show and Could Nine - were 

due to race at Addington. 

The charges for Anderson 

arose after the RIU was supplied 

with the summary of facts 

presented to the district court 

and the probation report that 

had been prepared by the 

Department of Corrections for 

his sentencing. 

This springboarded an 

investigation from the RIU 

into Anderson which found he

had supplied ecstasy to the two 

suppressed individuals the day 

after they had raced in a meeting 

in Winton and the day before 

they were set to race in Waimate. 

Counsel for Anderson, Allister 

Davis highlighted there was 

no evidence the individuals 

supplied with the drugs had 

actually ingested it. 

The JCA ruled while there was 

no definitive proof the drugs 

were taken, Anderson still gave 

rise to a situation which could 

have led to the drivers being 

impaired or compromised when 

driving in Waimate less than 24 

hours after the deal took place. 

Anderson was also interviewed 

by the RIU in January. 

RIU manager of integrity 

assurance Neil Grimstone, 

who conducted the interview 

alongside racing inspector 

Simon Irving, told the JCA 

Anderson would reply with no 

comment when asked about 

his drug dealing or who he had 

supplied drugs to. 

Mr Davis said during the 

interview if Anderson answered 

the questions he would be in 

breach of the suppression order.

Transcripts of the interview 

show Anderson even avoid answering 

questions about his own 

drug use. 

Mr Grimstone asks him: “In 

your probation report it talks 

about you using Ecstasy whilst 

trying to obtain the junior apprentice 

of the year on a number 

of occasions. Is that correct?” 

To which Anderson responds 

“No comment.” 

Mr Grimstone continues: 

“And that you’d obtained your 

MDMA through an associate 

and that it was the only way you 

would be able to function at the 

time and create some form of 

normality, is that correct?” 

Mr Anderson again responds 

with “no comment.” 

Mr Irving continues to probe: 

“If I was to direct you to submit 

to a drug test, how would you 

go?” 

Anderson replies with “pass” 

and gives the same answer when 

asked how he would fair if he 

was to submit a hair sample that 

could date back to a year. 

The interview was terminated 

after Mr Grimstone conceded 

he and Mr Irving were “getting 

nowhere.” 

The JCA stated in its ruling 

answering the questions posed 

during the interview would not 

have been in breach of the sup-

“The answering of questions 

by Mr Anderson to the

have resulted in inappropriate

arena. The information would 

have remained within the domestic 

disciplinary investigation 

of the RIU and would not have

the JCA stated.

Fulton Hogan appeals conditions 

• By Devon Bolger 

FULTON HOGAN is making 

a bid to change the conditions 

under which it must operate 

its controversial quarry near 

Templeton. 

The roading giant was given 

resource consent in April to 

build a 170ha quarry close to 

State Highway 1 between Templeton 

and Weedons. 

Residents living near the site 

were unsuccessful in a bid to 

stop the consent 

being granted. 

Now Fulton 

Hogan is appealing 

conditions 

imposed 

which, if successful, 

could 

Simon 

Moore 

see less monitoring 

of dust, 

work able to be 

carried out at night and on Sundays 

and heavy trucks be able to 

use roads in the area which are 

not part of the resource consent. 

Nearby resident Simon Moore 

said he was “disgusted” with 

Fulton Hogan’s appeal. 

“The dust has always been one 

of the top issues for us. A condition 

being appealed calls for 

four regulatory certified PM10 

monitors and Fulton Hogan 

want just one permanent one. 

I am speechless, to be honest. 

We didn’t even think four was 

enough,” he said. 

One of the resource consent 

conditions was the ongoing 

monitoring for respirable crystalline 

silica. 

Said Mr Moore: “In Canterbury, 

the concentration is worse 

due to the nature of the rocks we 

have, greywacke. I think it is our 

next asbestos issue. It can cause 

lung disease, silicosis it’s called. 

“From what I have read and 

seen, it is our next issue for residents 

and workers.” 

One of the 15 conditions 

Fulton Hogan is appealing is 

the requirement to design and 

implement a 12-month respirable 

crystalline silica monitoring 

programme and prepare a report 

on the results within one month 

of its completion. 

Fulton Hogan wants a two, 

four-month monitoring campaigns 

instead. 

The company says the 

financial impact of the 

conditions is unnecessarily 

onerous when considered in 

light of the low potential for RCS 

impacts, according to expert 

evidence. 

Fulton Hogan South Island 

general manager Craig Stewart 

did not answer specific questions 

put to him by The Star about the 

appeal. 

In a statement he said: “Fulton 

Hogan’s goal for the quarry 

remains to be a showcase for 

other quarry operations in New 

Zealand, and will lead the way 

in terms of best practice and 

environmental sustainability. 

“We are actively and constructively 

engaged in the 

Environment Court process 

and recognise that determines 

the outcome from this stage of 

the Resource Management Act 

process.” 

The resource consent was 

granted in April by a panel of 

five commissioners appointed by 

Environment Canterbury and 

the Selwyn District Council. 

Weedons resident Stephen 

Bain has lodged an appeal in the 

Environment Court to overturn 

the commissioners’ decision. 

“I think it was a strategic move 

that they have made because of 

my appeal. I don’t think they 

were going to do it until they 

saw other people were appealing,” 

said Mr Bain. 

Craig 

Stewart 

Stephen 

Bain 

The approval of the quarry – 

which granted consent for 35 

years – imposed a number of 

conditions, including setting up 

a dust management plan, truck 

movements limited to 1200 a 

day and no work can take place 

at night during the quarry’s first 

five years. 

The city council has also became 

involved. 

It decided to become a party 

to proceedings on behalf of the 

Hornby-Halswell-Riccarton 

to try and stop the conditions 

of the resource consent being 

changed. The community board 

has been prompted by Templeton 

residents. 

Fulton Hogan is appealing: 

•Depositing clean fill is only 

allowed between 6-8pm Monday 

to Saturday. Fulton Hogan wants 

it changed so the activity can 

occur during evenings, night 

time and Sundays.

over operating new quarry 

•Heavy vehicle movements leaving 

or accessing the quarry need 

to use the direct route comprising 

State Highway 1, Jones and Dawsons 

Rds. Fulton Hogan wants it 

changed so it just has to take all 

practicable steps to ensure the 

vehicles associated with the quarry 

do not travel on those roads. 

•Loaded heavy vehicles arriving 

at the site must have their 

load covered. Fulton Hogan 

wants this condition removed. 

•Heavy vehicles with aggregate 

or other quarry material leaving 

the site must cover their load 

and have it dampened with 

water spray. Fulton Hogan wants 

it changed so that the vehicles 

must either cover their load or 

have it dampened. 

•Once a year ECan may 

serve notice of its intention to 

review the conditions of these 

consents for the purposes of 

(amongst other things) “offsetting 

or compensating for any 

adverse effects on human health 

arising from suspended particulate 

matter (including dust 

and respirable crystalline silica) 

generated by quarry activities.” 

Fulton Hogan seeks the removal 

of the sub-paragraph referencing 

adverse health effects. 

• Four regulatory certified 

PM10 monitors and two dust 

management monitors are to 

be installed prior to quarry 

activities occurring and during 

operations. Fulton Hogan 

wants it changed to require one 

permanent, regulatory certified 

monitor and four calibrated, 

mobile monitors. 

•Prior to the start of quarrying, 

the consent holder must design 

and implement a Respirable 

Crystalline Silica monitoring 

programme in consultation with 

the Canterbury District Health 

Board and ECan and prepare 

a report on the results of the 

12-month programme within 

one month of its completion. 

Fulton Hogan is proposing 

two, 4-month-long monitoring 

campaigns rather than one 

12-month campaign. 

•Quarry activities (except dust 

suppression measures) within 

250m of a sensitive receptor 

location must not be undertaken 

when the wind direction places 

quarry activities directly upwind 

of the sensitive receptor location 

and the wind speed reaches or 

exceeds 7 m/s. Fulton Hogan 

wants it changed so only a subset 

of the activities that may occur 

on-site are required to stop 

under certain meteorological 

conditions. 

• It must take all reasonably 

practicable measures to minimise 

the discharge of dust from 

quarry activities which include 

ensuring trucks leaving the site 

with loads of fine material and 

PLANS:

impression of 

the Roydon 

Quarry. 

trucks entering the site with 

loads of clean fill are covered. 

Fulton Hogan wants it changed 

so that trucks can alternatively 

pass under a water spray boom. 

•Should the ability to take 

water cease at any time, the consent 

holder must cease quarry 

activities requiring water usage 

to manage dust. Fulton Hogan 

wants it changed so the company 

will assess the need to temporarily 

cease some or all parts of 

operations itself. 

•Excavation of aggregate and 

deposition of clean fill must only 

occur where the quarry floor 

maintains at least 1m separation 

depth to groundwater. 

Fulton Hogan is seeking a minor 

change so that permissible excavation 

depths are defined by reference 

to an RL level, as opposed 

to metres below ground level. 

•Should the groundwater level 

increase so that the separation is 

less than 1m between the measured 

groundwater levels and the 

current ground level within the 

active quarry floor quarry site, 

Fulton Hogan must apply virgin 

materials to that area, so as to 

reestablish a 1m separation distance 

throughout the site. Fulton 

Hogan wants it changed to include 

that this requirement does 

not apply to any areas which 

have already been rehabilitated. 

•If the results of the second 

groundwater samples show an 

exceedance of the trigger concentrations, 

the consent holder 

must sample all domestic wells 

within 500m downgradient of 

the affected bore. If any domestic 

bore sample reveals an adverse 

effect on drinking-water quality, 

then the consent holder must 

either provide the well user with 

an alternative supply of potable 

water, provide an appropriate 

water treatment system, or 

install a deeper well for the user. 

Fulton Hogan wants it changed 

to state that the exceedance must 

be more than likely attributable 

to the quarrying operations.

Botanic Gardens 

now home 

to rare pines 

A NUMBER of rare and 

endangered pine trees have 

been planted inside the Botanic 

Gardens. 

Six wollemi pines – which 

have just been planted – can be 

found in an avenue near the visitor 

centre, said Botanic Gardens 

director Wolfgang Bopp. 

They join another specimen of 

the tree growing near the children’s 

playground, which in 2013 

was the first wollemi planted in 

New Zealand. 

One of the world’s oldest tree 

species, wollemi pines were 

thought to be extinct until they 

were discovered by a park ranger 

in 1994 in Wollemi National 

Park near Sydney. 

“Fewer than 100 mature trees 

are known in the wild and their 

native habitat was preserved by 

firefighters during last summer’s 

Australian bush fires,” Mr Bopp 

said. 

“They are now being grown 

in botanic gardens around the 

world to ensure their survival 

in case their native habitat is 

destroyed, or pests or diseases 

cause damage. 

“These trees are living relics 

with links to the past and they 

are closely related to the New 

Zealand native kauri. We have 

chosen a high profile area to 

give them more prominence,’’ he 

said. 


A CALL has been made to 

axe street lighting across the 

residential red zone, which is 

costing the city council $140,000 

a year. 

There are a total of 1149 lights 

within the red zone. 

City councillor Aaron Keown 

believed all of 

these should 

be removed in 

order to save 

money as the 

council looks 

to trim back 

its budget in 

the face of a 

$99 million 

revenue shortfall resulting from 

the pandemic. 

“We should be taking out the 

whole lot. If it is no longer on a 

street people are living on, we 

should be taking them out,” he 

said. 

“Leaving street lights on where 

no one lives, that just does not 

make sense.” 

City council manager of 

transport planning and delivery 

Lynette Ellis said 689 of the lights 

could be removed as they are 

located on roads closed to vehicle 

access. 

The annual cost of the 689 

lights is $78,000 and the cost to 

remove them is $52,000. 

Cr Keown questioned whether 

the removal costs would be

so high. 

Dallington Residents 

Association chairwoman 

Bebe Frayle did not 

think it would be wise 

to remove all of the 

streetlights across the red 

zone. 

“There are probably 

lights in there that 

could be removed but wholesale 

removal is probably not good for 

public safety,” she said. 

“A lot of people use the red 

zone and I think if you are not a 

regular user of the red zone you 

Bebe Frayle 

can’t really appreciate 

how many people use it.” 

Things are not as 

simple as just switching 

lights off. 

Said Ms Ellis: “Lights 

are connected in groups 

which can cover a 

number of streets, there 

is not a switch available 

for each individual light remotely. 

While it may be possible 

to completely disconnect some 

groups from other groups, it 

would disconnect lights that are 

still required to service occupied

properties within the red zone or 

streets adjacent to the red zone.” 

The city council has not proposed 

to cut the cost of any of the 

street lights within the red zone 

from this year’s draft Annual 

Plan. 

Ms Ellis said this was considered 

but it was ultimately decided 

to leave a decision on the future 

of the lights to when the council 

addresses its Long Term Plan 

next year. 

However, the lights could be 

axed before then if councillors 

agree upon their removal.

City shooting survivor 

among Istanbul 

mosque celebrations 

CONTENT MARKETING 

Each week we profile a local Christchurch organisation 

to give them a plug and see how they’re going as 

the country eases into recovery. This week we spoke 

to Rick Hill, a director of accounting and business 

advisory firm Hargreaves 

On the up 


A MOSQUE shooting survivor 

was among celebrations in Turkey 

around the decision to convert the 

historic Hagia Sophia back into a 

mosque. 

Hundreds of Muslims, including 

mosque shooting survivor 

Wasseim Alsati, have gathered 

outside the historic site after 

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan 

announced it would be converted 

back into a mosque following a 

High Court ruling which stripped 

the site of its museum status. 

Mr Alsati and his four-yearold 

daughter suffered multiple 

gunshot injuries at the Al Noor 

Mosque during the March 15 terror 

attacks. 

Photos posted on his Facebook 

page show him waving a flag 

outside the Hagia Sophia while 

wearing a face mask. 

Turkish authorities made wearing 

facemasks compulsory in 

Istanbul and 46 other provinces 

as cases began to climb following 

the reopening of businesses last 

month. 

Mr Alsati did not respond to 

requests for comment from The 

Star. 

The first Muslim prayers are set 

to be held at Hagia Sophia next 

Friday. 

Hagia Sophia was built as a 

Christian cathedral nearly 1500 

years ago and turned into a 

mosque after the Ottoman conquest 

of 1453. It became a museum 

in 1934 under Turkish Republic 

founding father Ataturk. 

While the move to reconvert 

the site to a mosque has been welcomed 

by the Islamic community, 

it has been opposed by Turkish 

secularists and the Catholic 

Church. 

At a service in the Vatican, Pope 

Francis said he was “pained” by 

the decision to convert the site 

back into a mosque. 

The World Council of Churches 

has also called on the Turkish 

president to reverse his decision. 

One of Turkey’s most famous 

authors, Orhan Pamuk, also told 

SURVIVOR: 

Wasseim Alsati, 

who suffered 

multiple gunshot 

wounds in the 

March 15 terror 

attacks, was 

among the 

hundreds of 

people celebrating 

outside the historic 

Hagia Sophia in 

Istanbul after it 

was announced 

it would be 

reconverted into a 

mosque. 

the BBC that the decision would 

take away the “pride” some Turks 

had in being a secular Muslim 

nation. 

Burglars target retail outlets 


RETAIL SHOPS and other 

businesses in the central city have 

been hardest hit by burglaries 

over the last few months. 

New data from police shows 26 

per cent of the premises burgled 

between April 1 and June 30 had 

electronic security equipment 

that was not on or not working, 

while 88 per cent of construction 

sites had no electronic security 

features. 

Data released from police has 

revealed there were 396 burglaries 

of commercial premises during 

this time period. 

Retail shops were hit in 31 per 

cent of these burglaries, other 

commercial premises came in a 

close second at 21 per cent. 

Detective Senior Sergeant 

Damon Wells said the reason 

central city retail and commercial 

premises were targeted most 

for this three month period was 

because there were far less people 

around as a result of Covid-19 

restrictions. 

As a result, empty businesses 

such as car yards were some of 

the main targets. 

Of these burglaries, 69 per cent 

took place in Christchurch city, 

while 17 per cent took place in 

more rural parts of the district 

including Selwyn and Banks 

Peninsula. 

The statistics cover some areas 

outside of Canterbury including 

Mackenzie District, Ashburton, 

Timaru and Waimate. Fourteen 

per cent of these burglaries occured 

in these areas. 

The methods used to break into 

non-residential premises have 

been simple during this time, 

with doors being used as entry 

points 47 per cent of the time. 

However, the number of nonresidential 

burglaries was 39.8 per 

cent less than between January 1 

and March 31. 

Tell us about Hargreaves 

We are a small longestablished 

accounting 

and business advisory firm 

operating from Christchurch’s 

CBD fringe. One little-known 

fact about our business is that 

until recently we ran the New 

Zealand arm of Interflora. 

We’re part of the team that 

made sure those flowers and 

box of chocolates you sent 

your mum always arrived on 

time. 

The recent lockdown has 

been tough on everyone, 

what was the toughest aspect 

for Hargreaves and its 

people? How did you adapt? 

Lockdown was in some 

respects deja vu – it wasn’t 

that long-ago businesses in the 

CBD were scrambling in the 

aftermath of the earthquakes. 

Thankfully, we learnt our 

lessons from that episode 

and were able to transition 

swiftly to at-home work. The 

technology side of things was 

relatively painless – just pick 

up a laptop and go. What’s 

more, Zoom, Facebook 

Messenger video and chat 

minimised the feeling of 

isolation. 

Now that lockdown 

has been relaxed, are 

you expecting to operate 

differently? What aspects of 

your business do you think 

will change permanently? 

We’re back in the office, 

though with a new outlook 

on workplace flexibility. 

When it makes sense to work 

at home – when someone is 

sick, for example – then we’re 

geared up to do it. We can 

trust our staff to be 

productive, but sometimes coordinating 

work is a challenge, 

when people in remote 

locations are working on the 

same set of accounts. 

Supported by 

What role does technology 

play at Hargreaves? Which 

technology has been most 

helpful? Are you using any 

new technology now? 

In the days after the 

earthquakes we relocated our 

servers to CCL’s data centre 

and rolled out Windows 

Remote Desktop, which gave 

us the ability to work from 

almost anywhere. Now we’re 

planning our next move to 

Microsoft 365, which will 

further simplify workplace 

flexibility and document 

sharing. We’re also looking 

forward to using Microsoft 

Teams. 

Do you have a sense of 

what the future looks like for 

Hargreaves? 

The future of workplace 

systems is in the cloud. 

Correctly done, cloud 

services run trouble-free, 

flatten running costs, and 

give everyone the tools 

and information they need 

wherever they choose to 

work. 

Finally, what lessons 

have you learned from 

this chapter in our 

history? 

More than anyone else, 

Cantabrians know to expect 

the unexpected. You’ve got to 

be resilient – and that means 

having a plan in place. That’s 

how we were able to cope 

with lockdown. However, 

the one proviso is that 

everything must be set up 

correctly. Security must be 

right from the start. Cloud 

systems might be a quick way 

to get up and running but 

the untrained operator will 

leave them full of holes. There 

are plenty of horror stories 

out there. Our partner CCL 

ensures everything is done 

properly.

Diamond 

Harbour 

parking 

problems 

PARKING PROBLEMS near 

Diamond Harbour wharf 

have sparked a proposal for 

restrictions in two areas. 

There are currently no 

restrictions at the car parks 

beside the Banks Peninsula 

wharf or at the Stoddart Point 

main parking area. 

It has attracted freedom 

campers, and others using the 

spaces all day, which creates 

problems for people needing to 

park their cars and commute 

across Lyttelton Harbour on the 

Black Cat Cruises’ ferry. 

Black Cat Cruises chief 

executive Paul Milligan said 

parking has been an issue for 

“quite some time.” 

“It is an area that needs to be 

managed and controlled to make 

it fair for everyone. 

“Obviously, for our customers, 

we’d like to see as much parking 

available as possible.” 

The city council is asking for 

feedback on a proposal to change 

the area beside the wharf to include 

six parking spaces with 180min 

restrictions. It could also keep eight 

unrestricted parking spaces and 

retain two mobility spaces. 


A DECISION on the name of a 

cemetery, home to unidentified 

victims of the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake will be made next 

week. 

The Avonhead Park Cemetery 

which first opened in 1983, was 

approved as the interment site 

for the remains of unidentified 

victims from the earthquake. 

The Friends of Avonhead Cemetery 

has previously called on 

the name of the cemetery to be 

changed to Avonhead Memorial 

Cemetery in recognition of its 

wider significance as the home 

of the unidentified victims from 

the quake. 

City council staff have 

recommended the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board, which has 

been delegated authority to make 

a decision on the matter, to not 

change the name at its meeting 

on Monday. 

Public consultation on 

potentially changing the 

name did not find a conclusive 

preference from the public. 

Out of 114 submissions, 51 

wanted to change the name, 52 

did not want to change the name, 

10 suggested a combined name 

and one submitter stated they 

were happy either way. 

Within the central circle 


Decision soon on cemetery name 

DECISION TIME: A decision on whether to change the name of the Avonhead Park 

Cemetery or leave it as it is will be made on Monday. 

of the interment site, one 

segment contains the remains of 

unidentified victims, while two 

segments have been reserved 

for the four unfound victims. 

The outer circle of the site has 

been set aside for all victims of 

the earthquake and their family 

members. 

Thirty-seven earthquake 

victims and families of victims 

have used the site as a place of 

burial, which represents a small 

number of the 5000 plots the 

cemetery is home to. 

City council staff say the 

potential distress or offence that 

could result from a change of 

name could potentially outweigh 

the positive feelings of those in 

favour of a name change. 

“Consultation feedback 

indicates that many families 

and individuals have chosen 

to be interred in a park-like 

cemetery, especially within the 

lawn area and that for many the 

removal of the word park would 

be distressing,” city council staff 

said.

ELECTION 2020 


Banks Peninsula electorate set for 


THE BATTLE for Banks 

Peninsula is set to begin ahead of 

September’s general election. 

Next Friday, the Labour 

candidate Tracey McLellan, 

National hopeful Catherine Chu 

and Green Party MP Eugenie 

Sage will face each other for the 

first time in the campaign in 

a debate at the Governors Bay 

Hotel. 

For the first time in several 

elections it may not be a fait 

accompli for Labour which has 

held the seat for 27 years – the 

retirement of long time MP Ruth 

Dyson and boundary changes 

possibly opening the 2020 race 

right up. 

The new Banks Peninsula 

electorate has emerged from what 

was previously known as Port 

Hills. A boundary change sees 

6500 people who were part of 

the traditionally National voting 

Selwyn electorate now in Banks 

Peninsula. 

The absence of an incumbent 

only adds uncertainty to the 

pursuit for the peninsula with 

the retirement of Ms Dyson, who 

has held the seat under various 

different titles for 27 years. 

In spite of the hold the 

Labour has had over the area for 

almost the past three decades, 

Ms McLellan refused to take 

Tracey McLellan Catherine Chu Eugenie Sage 

anything for granted. 

“Certainly our campaigning 

to date has been really positive, 

but I would absolutely not take 

anything for granted at all,” she 

said. 

Ms McLellan has been a 

member of the Labour Party 

since 2011 and became acting 

party president following Nigel 

Harworth’s resignation over the 

handling of sexual abuse claims 

made against party members. 

Ms Chu, who attracted 

criticism for deciding to stand for 

the Banks Peninsula seat whilst a 

city councillor for the Riccarton 

Ward and also a Canterbury 

District Health Board member, 

said running for the electorate 

was one of the most difficult 

decisions she had ever made. 

“Ultimately the reason why 

I decided to run was because 

I felt that I had something to 

offer and it was something I 

truly believe in. It was a way for 

me to represent Christchurch 

as a whole and I felt that I 

had something to offer to our 

residents. It was a really difficult 

decision but in the end I stand 

by my decision and I know it was 

the right decision,” she said. 

Ms Chu said her commitments 

to the city council and CDHB 

would always come before her 

campaign. 

Ms Sage, who is the Minister 

of Conservation, Minister of 

Land Information and Associate 

Minister of Environment, 

thought recovery from the 

pandemic while ensuring 

everyone has enough money to

SHAKE-UP: The new Banks Peninsula electorate has 

gained 6500 people from the traditionally National voting 

Selwyn electorate. 

“Banks Peninsula is a 

recreational playground for 

Christchurch residents, Akaroa 

is a centre for nature-based 

tourism and the peninsula is 

important for farming and some 

horticulture. A predator free 

Banks Peninsula is something 

close to my heart and I want to 

help make that happen,” she said. 

Ms McLellan said recovering 

and rebuilding from the 

pandemic was “head and 

shoulders the No 1 issue.” 

Ms Chu said the key issue she 

was hearing from constituents 

across the electorate was the 

provision of jobs under a 

recovering economy.

A CHRISTCHURCH-BASED 

political party inspired by 

Donald Trump has fallen short 

of registering in time for the 

general election. 

Oytcho Visha’s main policies 

listed on its website include cancelling 

daylight 

saving, scrapping 

the cigarette 

tax and 

not requiring 

workers to wear 

fluorescent 

vests, failed to 

register with 

the Electoral 

Commission in 

time to contest the party vote. 

In order to register, parties had 

to prove they had 500 paying 

members who were enrolled to 

vote by last month. 

Party leader Rhys O’Brien, 

who told The Star the party was 

inspired by the United States’ 

president, said the group only 

managed to attract 200 members. 

If the party was able to register 

in time, it would have been eligible 

for $41,457 of taxpayer money 

from the Electoral Commission’s 

broadcasting allocation, which 

is given to political parties to aid 

Rhys O’Brien 

them in advertising for the elections. 

In spite of failing to register 

in time, Mr O’Brien remained 

optimistic. 

“There is always the next election,” 

he said. 

His views on immigration 

struck similarities to those of Mr 

Trump’s. 

“All of these other people are 

coming into our country with 

these different religions that I 

can’t understand or relate to,” 

said Mr O’Brien. 

“There is too much 

immigration, it is effacing Anglo- 

Saxon culture. The country has 

been overloaded with people 

from India and Thailand. They 

speak their own lingo, they 

have nothing in common with 

New Zealanders.”

OUR PEOPLE 

FEATHER SHAW 

No featherweight when it comes to 

Feather Shaw recently 

started a full-time 

role as co-owner of 

Christchurch venue 

Darkroom. She has 

been heavily involved 

in the arts scene as a 

performer and support 

person. Matt Slaughter 

spoke to her about her 

goals to support city 

musicians and artists 

in this role and her 

background in creative 

arts 

Your real name is Emma, why 

do you use the name Feather? 

I’m quite a little human and 

I was very, very light as a baby 

and a toddler and I was light as 

a feather and then it became a 

nickname and then when I got 

older and started using it as a 

stage name, when I started 

doing burlesque and cabaret 

and stuff, it just was natural to 

use Feather. 

What do you want to achieve 

for the Christchurch arts 

community during your time as 

Darkroom co-owner? 

Our venue is a really small 

space and it’s quite forgiving. 

It’s the kind of place where an 

emerging band can play to 20 

people and do those kind of 

really low risk [shows]. The 

space is still going to feel full 

and okay if only 10 or 20 people 

come to your gig. A lot of more 

established artists played some 

of their very early gigs here. 

So, Yumi Zouma played their 

first-ever gig at Darkroom under 

its old management when it 

first opened in 2011, people like 

Marlon Williams, Nadia Reid 

and Aldous Harding have played 

there over the years and I think 

it’s a really important stepping 

stone in getting to a place of 

higher success or producing 

more work as a performer of 

any medium, is having those 

accessible, little spaces to start 

out in. 

We provide that space as 

a small venue, but then, my 

business partner and I, we’ve 

worked in various event 

management and venue roles 

and performance and backstage 

and logistics and administrative 

roles within the arts, that we’re 

like, wow, we’re sitting on quite 

an incredible skillset here that 

we want to share with others free 

of charge to help them develop, I 

suppose, the admin skills to back 

up their creative talents. 

In particular, we have a real 

focus on reaching out to young 

adults, so emerging artists, 

people who are maybe still 

students or in their late teens or 

early 20s. 

Also, we want to really focus 

on making sure that we provide 

space for diversity, so it’s not 

all, kind of, straight, white men 

on the stage. It’s like are we 

seeing indigenous artists, people 

of colour, LGBTQI+ artists? 

And, for me, as a woman in 

the scene, it’s really important 

to have female and non-binary 

representation on the stage as 

well. 

What is your background in 

creative arts? 

I’m from Ōtepoti, Dunedin. 

That’s where I grew up and went 

to high school and university. 

I did a theatre studies degree 

down there and I actually only 

moved to Ōtautahi, Christchurch 

about three years ago. Since 

being up here, I’ve done a bunch 

of different things, I’ve studied 

contemporary dance at Hagley 

College, I worked at the Court 

Theatre as a stage manager and 

follow spot operator, I worked 

in some backstage roles at Isaac 

Theatre Royal, I worked at Hang- 

Up Entertainment in logistics for 

big touring shows pushing road 

cases and hanging lights and 

stuff like that and then the job 

at Bromley Community Centre, 

which was event and community 

development kind of stuff. 

In terms of a performance 

skillset, I do stand-up comedy, 

burlesque, cabaret, lots of event 

hosting, I MC quite a bit, dance, 

circus, theatre, I’ve written and 

directed plays, so [I’m] kind of 

a performing arts all-rounder, I 

guess. 

What are some of the most 

memorable things you’ve done 

as a performer? 

One of my most recent ones 

that I’ve been really excited 

about was my first experience 

with making videos and online 

content. During lockdown, I 

did a social history series called 

Woolston Walkies, because I 

live in the suburb of Woolston. 

Every day I visited a different 

location and it was kind of funny 

and goofy. I’m out for my daily 

exercise walk and we’re going 

to the old fish factory, the old 

gumboot factory. 

There were all these underlying 

themes of, like, poverty and that 

it was a low socio-economic 

area and that the river’s really 

polluted, but the river used

performing arts 

Have you performed with 

anyone famous or noteworthy? 

In terms of comedy, I’ve 

opened for or been on the same 

lineup as the likes of Ben Hurley, 

Nick Rado and Cori Gonzales- 

Macuer, who was in What We 

Do in the Shadows. I opened for 

Cori independently at a show 

in Dunedin some years ago and 

then with Nick Rado and Tarun 

Mohanbhai and Ben Hurley, we 

were involved in a pilot for a silly, 

little TV series, web series thing 

called Flat Gigs Dunedin and we 

filmed a comedy show just in a 

grungy student flat in Dunedin. 

Have you had any 

embarrassing moments on 

stage? 

I think I’ve been pretty lucky 

generally speaking, but working 

backstage at Court Theatre as 

an assistant stage manager on 

the summer musical, Chicago, 

there were some moments of just 

absolute chaos when something 

would go wrong and I’d be 

hidden on the side of the stage 

with a roll of duct tape taping 

back a set piece together or 

whatever while trying to hide 

from the audience view. 

How supportive has your 

family been of your creative 

endeavours? 

I grew up pretty normal. I 

grew up in a pretty bogan family 

and we grew up pretty poor and 

we grew up pretty bogan but 

my parents were always really 

relaxed, like, there was never 

any pressure to have to succeed 

academically or have to want 

to have children and buy the 

house and have the mortgage 

and be a doctor or an astronaut 

or whatever. As, a kid, I really 

wanted to be a rubbish truck 

runner. 

I think what has helped me 

a lot is that my parents never 

really forced me into things. 

My dad has passed away now 

but he was my absolute biggest 

fan with comedy and cabaret, he 

would come to all my shows. My 

mum lives down in Invercargill 

and she loves what I’m doing 

and is really supportive of it all 

as well. My family has absolutely 

backed me. 

TALENTED: 

Feather Shaw 

is a performing 

arts all-rounder 

and has done 

stand-up comedy, 

burlesque and 

cabaret. 

Tell me why you decided to 

leave your previous job to start 

co-managing Darkroom fulltime? 

I was working 20 hours a 

week, just a part-time job which 

was enough for me to live off, at 

Bromley Community Centre. 

I was the programme support 

worker there, so I largely helped 

facilitate all the community 

groups like low impact exercise 

for elderly people, toddlers 

playgroups for parents and, like, 

pre-schoolers and then, all the 

community events – the big fair, 

the big Matariki celebrations, 

market days [and] all sorts of bits 

and pieces. I really liked that line 

of work. 

Then, my business partner 

Nick and I bought Darkroom 

and because it was a pretty scary 

venture going fully into selfemployment 

in the beginning, 

I decided that I could keep both 

jobs, so still do my 20 hours a 

week at Bromley and then do 

another 20 [or] 30 hours a week 

running Darkroom. I did that 

for a year, kept both jobs, and, 

after a year, Darkroom was in a 

financially stable enough position 

that I kind of weighed things 

up and thought I can take my 

skillset from Bromley, which is 

kind of community development, 

and apply that to my job running 

a venue. 

What impact of the Covid-19 

pandemic on Darkroom and 

tell me about the fundraiser 

that happened to support the 

venue? 

It was a really uncertain time 

not knowing how long it would 

take to contain and work towards 

eliminating the virus, not 

knowing is this going to be four 

weeks we’re out of action, three 

months, six months? 

I don’t think Darkroom was 

ever at risk of closing, that wasn’t 

an option for us. We started 

thinking are their grants? We 

started to think is there some 

funding or grant money that 

we can apply for and we had a 

look around and then we saw 

that some other venues had had 

success with crowdfunding. We’d 

never done it for anything before 

and we were like, okay, let’s do 

one. 

For ours, we made $16,000, our 

goal was only $10,000. 

Pou to be 

unveiled at 

timeball site 

LAYERS OF Maori history, 

heritage and rich culture 

encapsulated in a new pou 

whenua will be unveiled at 

Lyttelton’s Timeball Station 

today. 

The landmark, carved 

by Caine Tauwhare of 

Ngati Wheke, celebrates the 

navigational achievements of 

Maori and commemorates 

ancestral connections of iwi to 

Whakaraupō/Lyttelton Harbour. 

It represents traditional 

knowledge and navigational 

tools which Maori have held for 

centuries, and will be formally 

revealed at a special ceremony 

coinciding with Matariki, or 

Maori New Year. 

Heritage New Zealand 

Pouhere Taonga cares for the 

timeball site, and chief executive 

Andrew Coleman said it is “very 

proud” to have the wonderful 

taonga, or treasure, and delighted 

to host the historic event. 

“Today is the culmination of 

four years hard work, dedication 

and carving craftsmanship. The 

pou references and acknowledges 

traditional narratives 

from the centuries of navigation 

by Maori prior to the arrival of 

Pakeha and the creation of the 

Timeball Station.” 

The Whakaraupo Carving 

Centre and Ngati Wheke 

proposed having a pou situated 

at the timeball as part of the 

on-site interpretation after being 

approached by Heritage New 

Zealand Pouhere Taonga in 

2017. 

Ngai Tahu Funds subsequently 

approved a considerable 

grant for Ngati Wheke to carve 

the pou. 

The pou replaces a temporary 

pou – a tryptic panel – that was 

installed at the reopening of the 

Timeball Station timeball and 

SIGNIFICANT: A new pou 

whenua carved by Caine 

Tauwhare will replace a

Station today. 

flagpole in November 2018. 

The tower was rebuilt with the 

support of the community and 

key donors and supporters after 

the earthquakes of 2010 and 

2011 significantly damaged the 

much-loved iconic structure. 

”Heritage New Zealand 

Pouhere Taonga will always remain 

grateful for the support of 

the community which enabled 

the organisation to return what 

we see today to the Lyttelton 

streetscape. The building and 

daily dropping of the timeball at 

1pm is part of Lyttelton’s history 

and heritage that needed to be 

returned and maintained,” Mr 

Coleman said. 

“I’m delighted to be part of an 

added chapter to the Timeball 

Station’s history with the unveiling 

and dedication of this pou. It 

is a truly representative story of 

Aotearoa New Zealand. 

“It’s also very appropriate that 

we unveil and dedicate the pou 

at a time when we celebrate and 

commemorate Matariki.”

In with 

the New! 

Well-known furniture retailer Target Furniture has taken 

the opportunity to open their latest store in central 

Christchurch – and it is certainly different from anything 

Christchurch shoppers have seen before. 

Target Furniture has had a long-term presence in 

Christchurch and has now relocated and reinvented 

the shopping experience for customers with this new 

concept store. 

The large, open store has gone and been replaced with 

a showroom that encourages customers to explore and 

discover more as they stroll through rooms that have 

been created to showcase the furniture. Target has 

partnered with Resene to illustrate the types of colours 

that are proving popular in New Zealand homes, and 

these are incorporated into the displays. 

“Furniture shopping should be fun, easy, inspirational 

and a highlight of the customer’s shopping year,” says 

Rob. 

“The new store is a result of significant local and 

international research, a considerable amount of recent 

experimentation in existing stores and feedback from 

customers,” says company director Rob Bielby. 

Technology is another innovative feature of the new 

store. Unlike traditional ticketing and signage, most of 

the signage is now digital, creating a more personalised 

message for customers and telling more about the 

Target story and the services they offer. 

Target is one of the first major retailers to use QR 

(Quick Response) labels. This allows customers to scan 

the ticket on their phone to get immediate access to 

detailed information on the furniture, including sizes, 

materials, guarantees, availability, and other items in the 

range. 

Brochures are also available with details of the different 

furniture ranges for customers not wanting to go digital, 

Rob says, while staff are always on hand to answer 

questions and offer advice. 

There is also a digital kiosk equipped with computers 

where customers can log onto the Target website and 

view the 2500-plus products online, with images also 

displayed on Facebook and Instagram. 

“We aim to highlight all the shopping options we offer 

– digital and instore. Our point of difference is the 

experience and we cater for all our customers’ shopping 

preferences – from totally digital to totally bricks and 

mortar.”


Prompt delivery is an important part of the customer 

experience, Rob adds. 

“We have invested in our own fleet of trucks and are 

committed to regular weekly deliveries in Christchurch. Our 

goal is to have furniture delivered into Christchurch within 

10 days of being ordered, if it is available in our Auckland 

distribution centre.” 

Target Furniture is located on the ground-floor level of the 

Spotlight building on the corner of Moorhouse Avenue and 

Durham Street, with several other furniture outlets in the 

vicinity. 

“This encourages customers to the area as they have more 

options to look at,” Rob says, “and while customers do 

have a choice, we believe we know how to buy for Kiwi 

homes, and offer furniture that gives people the chance to 

add a dash of luxury to their home without it costing an arm 

and a leg. 

“Target is determined to shake up the traditional furniture 

retail landscape making fashionable, practical and 

affordable furniture available to everyone in a shopping 

environment that surprises and delights.” 

Target Moorhouse is the first of the new-generation stores 

and the concept will be rolled out to all existing stores and 

new stores that are planned.

OPINION 


Fighting the big boys 

The coming week in our history 

THERE SHOULD be no 

surprises Fulton Hogan is 

appealing conditions imposed 

when resource consent was 

granted to build and operate a 

big quarry on the outskirts of 

Christchurch. 

Nearby residents fought 

in vain to stop the Roydon 

Quarry near Templeton. But 

the go-ahead was granted by an 

Environment Canterbury and 

Selwyn District Council hearings 

panel. 

No surprises there, the little guy 

rarely succeeds in these battles. 

But the hearings panel put 

a number of conditions when 

granting the consent which included 

which roads heavy trucks 

can only use to get to and from 

the quarry, dust monitoring for 

health reasons and when quarrying 

work can take place. 

Fulton Hogan, which has as 

much legal grunt as it needs, 

has now appealed conditions on 

the resource consent. This has 

prompted the city council to get 

involved on behalf of the Hornby- 

Halswell-Riccarton Community 

Board, which is acting for 

Templeton residents. 

A nearby resident has also decided 

to appeal the resource consent 

to the Environment Court, 

and is seeking crowdfunding to 

pay for what will be an expensive 

process. 

From the 

editor’s desk 

Barry Clarke 

•HAVE YOUR SAY: Send us 

your views on the appeals. 

Email barry@starmedia.kiwi 

The city council looks set to 

argue against Fulton Hogan’s bid 

to ease the conditions. 

If those conditions are 

changed to what Fulton Hogan 

wants it will mean heavy truck 

movements will happen on 

roads other than main ones 

in the area, there will be less 

monitoring of dust from the site, 

trucks won’t have to cover their 

loads and work will be able to 

happen on Sundays and at night. 

So we have two appeal 

processes in the wind – the 

resident’s against the resource 

consent, and Fulton Hogan’s 

against the conditions of the 

resource consent. 

The lawyers will be happy; 

people who live near the quarry 

will be very anxious.

July 16, 1965 – Gunners of 

161 Field Battery fired New 

Zealand’s first shots of the 

Vietnam War from their base at 

Bien Hoa, near Saigon. 

July 17, 1939 – Paddy 

the wandering dog dies in 

Wellington. The brown airedale 

terrier was the pet of a young 

girl whose father was a seaman. 

After the girl’s death in 1928, 

Paddy began to wander the 

wharves. As he aged, Paddy 

wandered less. When his health 

deteriorated, he slept in a shed 

on the wharves. Death notices 

were placed in local newspapers 

and a radio tribute was 

broadcast. A drinking fountain 

near the Queen’s Wharf gates 

commemorates his life. 

July 18, 1855 – New Zealand’s 

first postage stamps go on sale, 

the adhesive, non-perforated 

stamps for prepaid postage 

showed Queen Victoria in her 

coronation robes. 

July 19, 1982 – Privy Council 

rules on Samoan citizenship. 

When it granted New Zealand 

citizenship to Western 

Samoans born since 1924, the 

Government did not accept 

this decision. It rushed through 

an Act granting New Zealand 

citizenship only to Western 

Samoans who were living in 

New Zealand on September 14, 

1982. 

July 20, 1965 – A riot 

rocks Mt Eden prison. The 

disturbance followed a botched 

escape attempt and lasted into 

the next day. Prisoners took 

several warders hostage and 

fire gutted part of the prison. 

Firefighters had to retreat 

under a barrage of bricks and 

other missiles. Armed police, 

warders and troops stood guard 

around the prison, discouraging 

any attempts to break out 

with warning shots and highpowered 

hoses. Eventually the 

lack of food, fuel and shelter 

took its toll, and the prisoners 

surrendered 33 hours after the 

riot began. 

July 21, 1925 – Te Haahi 

Rātana established as church. 

Founded in 1918 by Tahupōtiki 

Wiremu Rātana (1873-1939), 

the religious movement that 

bore his name gave hope to 

many dispossessed Māori and 

later became a political force. 

July 22, 1987 – Lotto goes

The death penalty: Should it be 

Readers respond to last 

week’s article on March 15 

mosque shooting survivor 

Mohammed Alayan, who 

lost his son in the tragedy, 

calling for the death 

penalty to be introduced 

to New Zealand. 

The death penalty must never 

be reinstated. It has been proved 

time and time again in the 

United States that it does not 

act as a deterrent. It is barbaric 

to even contemplate this whilst 

considering ourselves to be a 

civilised country. – Bronwen 

Summers 

The offender I think should be 

given one year for each person he 

killed, and no parole, then sent 

back to Australia to serve his 

sentence in Tasmania with the 

other mass murderer. This would 

be a worse sentence than being 

executed even if it was legal in 

NZ. Hopefully they would then 

have the opportunity to kill each 

other. – Sandra Humphrey 

I believe people like (mosque 

terrorist) really shouldn’t be 

breathing our air and living on 

our taxes. He will cost millions 

of New Zealand tax money. 

Take him to the Bruce Rifle 

Club south of Dunedin. His 

friends can shoot (him) because 

JUSTICE? Mohammed Alayan, who survived the March 15 mosque shooting, but lost his 

son in the tragedy, has called for the death penalty to be introduced to New Zealand. 

that’s were he trained before he 

came to Christchurch and killed 

51 people at two mosques. 

To me it’s all about justice. 

– Joe Shaw 

Life-long imprisonment 

is a better solution to capital 

punishment because a terrorist/ 

criminal could realise he did 

very wrong and at least can 

improve himself just for himself 

in life-long imprisonment. 

Imprisonment or any other 

punishment is to realise for 

criminals they did something 

wrong and can improve 

themself. 

Moreover the person who can 

kill 51 people is never afraid 

from his death. 

Capital punishment can not 

stop some people to commit 

crime because they are not afraid 

from death as in 09/11 USA 

attack. 

We can only stop these actions 

prior to it happening by making 

our system strong. – Jagroop 

Singh 

We support Dr Alayan’s comment 

on the death penalty for 

the heinous crimes and injury 

caused at the two Christchurch 

mosques. 

Losing someone at the hands 

of others is hard to cope with, 

as we know losing a daughter to 

murder. 

We supported the death penalty 

in the USA. But the three 

men, one of whom confessed 

to Michelle’s murder, have now 

been released and are living and 

studying in Brisbane. 

The law in NZ will never 

change and this terrorist should 

be released immediately back 

to his country of origin so we 

don’t have to pay for his care for 

the rest of his life. 

This event will live with your 

community for the rest of your 

lives and our thoughts will be 

with Dr Alayan and the days 

you all have to go though the 

court sentencing. – Jean and 

Peter Strathern 

• Michelle Strathern and seven 

other New Zealand, British, 

and American tourists were

of the group hoping to catch 

a glimpse of rare mountain 

gorillas.

used in NZ? Compo and Otautahi 

The pain and anguish of the 

survivors and victims of the 

March 15 massacres must be 

unbearable at times, as must the 

anger and rage. 

As Dr Alayan says, we strive to 

be a “land of love and compassion.” 

Taking the lives of other human 

beings for revenge or to 

serve as a warning to others, to 

make a point, are not acts of love 

and compassion, in my view. 

If it is acceptable, as a 

matter of principle, to take 

lives under some circumstances 

to make a point, it is then only 

a matter of opinion and 

opportunity as to which 

circumstances are acceptable. The 

means create the end. Spilling 

blood does not lead to peaceful 

co-existence. 

– Marney Ainsworth 

Mohammad Alayan has a 

nerve calling for the reintroduction 

of the death penalty in NZ. He 

should look to the reasons why 

we abolished it. We have the 

world’s best judicial system. It may 

be the norm in most Middle Eastern 

countries to execute but not in 

this civilised country. 

– D. Robinson 

Sadly Mr Alayan has misjudged 

this country. If he demands the 

death sentence then go back to 

his own country of birth where 

that penalty may be the case. 

– Malcolm Waitt 

In this case it is very tempting 

to make an exception. But overall 

I say no to capital punishment. 

– Sharon Clements 

Yes I totally believe that the 

death penalty should be available 

to be used in criminal law where 

human life has been taken as well 

as other crimes that have caused 

the victim to suffer from an attack 

to a degree that death of the 

attacker is the best outcome. 

– Russell Ramsden 

I am very much against bringing 

back the death penalty in 

New Zealand. 

There have been too many 

miscarriages of justice over the 

years plus the fact you are 

expecting some person to 

carry out your wishes which 

is not the right thing to do. 

– B. Turner 

I think capital punishment 

should be reintroduced for 

criminals who have multiple 

offences for the same violent 

crimes and who we know will 

never change and will always be 

dangerous to society if they get 

out of prison. 

– Garry Edwards 

Contractors 

As a ratepayer I am tired 

and confused. Contractors are 

requesting payments from the 

council to make up losses they 

incurred due to the lockdown 

and they are being paid out. 

The lockdown was put in place 

by the Government and not 

the council and it seems to me 

that the contractors making the 

claims don’t feel part of the five 

million. 

I see two options: The council 

withhold further payment and 

let the contractors take them to 

court, or payments continue and 

contractors receiving payments 

receive no new contracts for the 

next five years. 

Isn’t it about time the council 

stood up for the ratepayers 

instead of making them 

everybody’s lapdog. 

– Anthony Brooks 

Otautahi Chch 

There was a full page 

advertisement placed by the 

Christchurch City Council entity 

ChristchurchNZ in the Sunday 

Star Times (July 12). 

The bold heading 

was: “OTAUTAHI 

CHRISTCHURCH,” and this 

name was repeated six times in 

the body copy. 

Has this been debated 

and agreed to by our elected 

councillors or are our bureaucrats 

renaming Christchurch for its 

residents? 

The ratepayers of Christchurch 

do not need this time consuming, 

expensive and confusing 

nonsense. Has the council a 

mandate to rename the city? 

– N.G. Smith 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

responds: Ōtautahi 

Christchurch has been used on 

many occasions to reflect the 

pre-European history of the city 

at the same time as referring to 

the city. 

We want to hear your views 

on the issues affecting life 

in Canterbury 

Send emails to: 


There has been no name 

change for the city as claimed by 

your correspondent. 

The Ō is the reference to the 

place and Tautahi refers to a 

prominent Ngāi Tahu chief 

who had settlements within the 

Christchurch CBD prior to the 

arrival of European settlers. 

Ōtautahi literally means the place 

of Tautahi. 

As a council we added 

Ōtautahi to our vision statement 

as part of the city’s strategic 

framework last year. It reads: 

“Ōtautahi-Christchurch is a city 

of opportunity for all – open to 

new ideas, new people and new 

ways of doing things – a city 

where anything is possible.”

“I THOUGHT rieslings 

were all sweet,” is a 

comment that I hear 

regularly. 

This is a common misconception 

that hinders 

interest in riesling to this 

day. 

The truth sees riesling 

covering the gamut of dry 

to sweet styles, with today’s 

selection showcasing it in 

all its guises. 

A racy, dry and refreshing 

pair are followed by 

two playfully off-dry versions. 

A sumptuous aged 

release version shows the 

marvellous complexity that 

comes with time, while 

a lusciously sweet noble 

riesling takes things to 

another level of richness.

SELWYN SOUNDS 


Rocker to sing from big back catalogue 


WHEN JON Stevens’ song 

Jezebel reached number one on 

the New Zealand charts in 1979, 

a career in music wasn’t on his 

mind. 

Said Stevens: “I made a record 

when I was 16, it came out when 

I was 17, which was Jezebel. It was 

released and three weeks later it 

was No 1 and all of a sudden, I 

was famous in New Zealand. 

“It [music] was something 

that I didn’t pursue at all, it 

was like a happy accident 

actually because it wasn’t 

something I was actually into 

doing,” he said. 

But Stevens, who is entertainer 

Frankie Stevens’ brother, 

couldn’t stay away from music, 

and more than four decades 

later, he is set to headline Selwyn 

Sounds on March 6 at Lincoln 

Domain. 

Jon Stevens is best known 

for being the lead singer of 

Noiseworks. He was also lead 

singer of legendary Australian 

band INXS for four years after 

former frontman Michael 

Hutchence died. 

The Selwyn Sounds crowd can 

expect Stevens to belt out a set 

of hits from both of these bands 

when he takes the stage. 

Said Stevens: “I’ve got a 

pretty good setlist going with, 

obviously, both bands’ songs. 

You can’t please everybody, but 

nobody’s disappointed ever. 

“It’s just hit after hit, you 

know,” he said. 

Stevens said these hits will 

include INXS songs Need You 

Tonight, Don’t Change and 

Suicide Blonde and Noiseworks’ 

Hot Chilli Woman. 

Stevens fronted INXS in the 

early 2000s after Hutchence’s 

death in 1997 and toured with 

the band for four years. 

“When I joined INXS, it was 

just one of those things where it 

seemed like a perfectly natural 

fit and it was, and it’s something 

that I know, and we all knew, 

Michael would have been more 

than happy for me to do because 

we were compadres.” 

Stevens said he and Hutchence 

had “mutual admiration” for 

ROCKING 

OUT: Jon 

Stevens will be 

performing a 

set including 

songs from 

Noiseworks 

and INXS at 

Selwyn Sounds 

on March 6. 

The Lady Killers 

will also be 

performing. 

each other. 

“He [Hutchence] was a very 

warm and engaging fellow. He 

was a lovely bloke [with] charisma 

to burn. One thing people didn’t 

realise about Michael was he had 

a really, really big voice, it was 

really so loud. 

“Because his subtlety in his 

lower register was just incredible 

and his tone was incredible, 

when he jumped up an octave 

and started belting it out, it was 

just like, man, so full-on, and 

that’s probably a big part of his 

magic,” he said. 

Stevens is looking forward 

to the Selwyn Sounds crowd 

hearing his spin on the INXS 

songs and said he has the band’s 

blessing to perform them. 

Some of Stevens’ best career 

memories have been playing 

shows with artists including 

Elton John, Aerosmith and Slash 

and performing at venues such 

as Madison Square Garden in 

New York and Wembley Stadium 

in London. 

He said he is looking forward 

to seeing the huge Kiwi lineup 

set to take the stage at Selwyn 

Sounds and his highlights will be 

seeing Stan Walker, The Jordan 

Luck Band, The Lady Killers and 

Annie Crummer.

Add bacon, in one layer, to 

a large pan over medium heat. 

Cook, stirring occasionally until 

the fat renders and the bacon is 

crispy – 6-8min. Take the pan off 

of the heat, and then use a slotted 

spoon to transfer the bacon to a 

bowl and save for later. 

Remove all the bacon fat 

from the pan except for one 

tablespoon. Leave more or less, 

depending on your preference. 

One tablespoon tastes great, but 

doesn’t make the cabbage greasy. 

Place the pan back onto 

medium-high heat then add the 

cabbage, garlic, red pepper flakes, 

and the salt. It might seem like 

too much cabbage for the pan, 

but as it cooks, the cabbage will 

wilt down. 


NUTRITIOUS: Seriously good bacon fried cabbage, lemon garlic fried cabbage. 

Cook, occasionally stirring until 

the cabbage is tender and some 

of the cabbage begins to turn 

light brown – 10-15min. Stir in 

the mustard, apple cider vinegar, 

and the cooked bacon. Taste then 

adjust with more salt, pepper, and 

vinegar as needed. 

Lemon garlic 

fried cabbage 

4 servings 

Ingredients 

1kg white cabbage, 

core removed and 

shredded (10 cups) 

1½ tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

½ tsp sea salt or more to taste 

½ a lemon, cut into wedges 

Directions 

Heat the olive oil in a large pan 

over medium-high heat. Add the 

cabbage, garlic, red pepper flakes 

and the salt. It might seem like 

too much cabbage for the pan, but 

as it cooks, the cabbage will wilt 

down. 

Cook, stirring occasionally until 

the cabbage is tender and some of 

the cabbage begins to turn a light 

brown – 10-15min.

salt, pepper, and lemon juice as 

needed.

Following the Crusaders’ 

thrilling clash with the 

Blues on Saturday night 

in Super Rugby Aotearoa, 

Gregor Paul analyses the 

Beauden Barrett v Richie 

Mo’unga All Blacks debate 

– and writes that the 

decision is obvious 

IT IS time for all of New Zealand 

to realise just how good Richie 

Mo’unga is. At the moment he’s 

the best first-five in the country 

and whether the All Blacks 

persist with their dual playmaker 

strategy or not, Mo’unga has to 

be wearing No 10. 

Beauden Barrett is the better 

rugby player – equipped with 

more skills and weapons to strike 

an effective attack, but Mo’unga 

is the better specialist No 10. 

If that wasn’t definitive coming 

into Super Rugby Aotearoa 

post lockdown, it is now after 

Mo’unga did the hardest thing in 

rugby by putting a forgettable 40 

minutes behind him against the 

Blues to somehow find a way to 

win his team the toughest contest 

they have had in years. 

No one should underestimate 

the resilience and mental capacity 

Mo’unga showed to glue himself 

together in Christchurch, 

patch up the psychological crack 

that was threatening to split him 

open and produce a brave, innovative 

and frankly brilliant final 

quarter to ensure the Crusaders 

stretched their unbeaten run at 

home to 36 games. 

Dan Carter is the greatest 

New Zealand has ever produced 

and while he had a vast range of 

skills, it was his composure and 

refusal to ever panic or doubt 

himself that set him apart. 

And Mo’unga seems to have 

that same gift: that same unflappable 

nature which doesn’t allow 

mistakes to eat him up or get 

inside his head. 

It’s a treasured skill to possess 

and so few have it naturally and 

not many learn to develop it 

either.

WE’RE BACK! 

Plenty of young No 10s have 

made a few mistakes in big 

games and fallen apart. The first 

test Aaron Cruden started in 

2010 he kicked the ball out on 

the full, made a few more mistakes 

and was subbed long before 

the end and not then initially 

picked in the World Cup squad. 

Barrett also suffered a memorable 

meltdown in the 2015 

Super Rugby final, failing to 

deliver the sort of magic against 

the Highlanders which he had 

produced all year. 

His demons engulfed him in 

Wellington five years ago and 

that disappointment was the 

making of him as a world-class 

No 10. 

He returned in 2016 mentally 

tougher and his performances 

in the three playoff games were 

tactically smart, technically 

immaculate and about the most 

composed, polished rugby he’s 

ever produced. 

Mo’unga has steered the Crusaders 

to three successive titles 

and played at a World Cup, making 

it seem a little strange to suggest 

that a mid-season encounter 

against the Blues is the moment 

he came of age. 

But never before has he so obviously 

found a way to respond 

and react so effectively under 

pressure. He won that game for 

the Crusaders and with it, they 

have just about secured the title. 

It was almost a final and for 

50 or so minutes, the Blues were 

threatening to win it. They had 

Cantabrians have known 

for a few years now 

what a special talent the 

Crusaders No 10 is but the 

rest of the country hasn’t 

been quite as sure. 

the game where they wanted it 

after Rieko Ioane scored his try 

and the only hope the Crusaders 

had was if they could find a hero, 

a means by which someone could 

do something extraordinary and 

wrestle back the momentum. 

It was Mo’unga who stood 

up and did just that. And what 

made it so much braver was that

service 

a few things in the first half had 

enormous potential to undermine 

his confidence and see him 

crawl into a conservative mindset 

and stop trusting himself to 

play his natural game. 

He kicked an easy penalty 

into the dead ball area, 

squandering a golden 

opportunity to set-up for a 

short-range lineout drive. 

Mo’unga kicked a couple 

of times when he had men 

screaming outside him to keep it 

in hand and there were two wild 

inside passes to no one. 

He looked like the occasion 

was getting to him. That the 

mistakes were compounding and 

eroding his confidence and then 

suddenly he took control, pulling 

off the nearly impossible act of 

retrieving his own short kick-off 

and then delaying beautifully his 

perfect pass to put Will Jordan 

over for the critical try. 

But he came of age on Saturday 

night and ended any lingering 

debate about who should be 

wearing the All Blacks No 10 

jersey this year. - NZ Herald

Graham 

to hold 

court 

again 

• By David De Somma 

SIX YEARS on, and veteran 

harness racing trainer Graham 

Court is about to take over the top 

job at Harcourt Lodge, again. 

Now 70, Graham Court will 

become the stable’s official trainer 

when 40-year-old son Paul and 

his young family relocate to 

Canada next month. 

In 2016 Paul Court took over 

from his father, after the pair had 

trained nearly 100 winners together 

(2009-2015). That included 

three consecutive New Zealand 

Cups with Terror to Love, the 

horse they’ll forever be associated 

with. 

This season Paul has trained 

27 winners, the latest being Stick 

Man at Addington on July 5. 

Said Paul: “It’s not been an 

easy decision. But we’re ready 

for something new… it’s time to 

put the family first and go from 

there.” 

He married Canadian-born 

Chantelle Swanson sight unseen 

in a “Three Strangers and a Wedding” 

radio promotion in 2007. 

Now they and their two children 

are heading back to her home 

country. It’s not the first time Paul 

Court has spent extended time 

there – though this time it seems 

it’s for keeps. 

On his own account Graham 

has trained 204 winners, his career 

starting in the late 1970s. 

“A lot of owners I’ve had for 

over 40 years and I’ve got some 

new ones with Paul and I’m not 

prepared to throw it all away. I’m 

just the boss again.” 

Court senior has always been 

hands-on. 

‘We are doing about 30 with 

about 15-20 yearlings to come 

back into work so there are plenty 

of numbers.” - Harness News Desk

Skoda going from strength to strength 

CALL ME A nosy neighbour if you 

like. But I’m very interested in what 

people drive, always looking out as 

cars drive by. 

Two residents on our street drive 

Skodas, one’s a reasonably new 

Octavia wagon that I would suggest 

is a good choice for a company 

car given that it is signwritten. The 

other is an old Fabia hatchback, 

although it is looking a bit tired it’s 

still giving good service. 

Interestingly, Skoda has just 

released a new model, a trendy 

hatchback that sits between Fabia 

and Octavia, it’s named Scala and 

sits in the market from a bargain 

price of $29,000. There are three 

Scala variants the other two list at 

$34,990 and $38,990 depending 

on what level of specification you 

would prefer. 

This evaluation focuses on the 

entry level model, and it sits apart 

from its stablemates through its 

1-litre turbocharged three-cylinder 

engine, the other two variants 

have a turbocharged four-cylinder 

engine of 1.5-litre. 

I’m so pleased the evaluation 

car was the three-potter. Regular 

readers will relate to my affection 

for this configuration ever since I 

had a Star Media Suzuki Alto for a 

work day commuter, I embraced its 

honesty and economy. 

Nothing has changed with the 

new-generation three-cylinder 

engines that are appearing in 

increasing numbers, and Skoda 

has capitalised on the technology 

that is coming out of the wider 

Volkswagen enterprise, this 

engine is working its way through 

several models throughout the 

organisation’s product line-up. 

Skoda Auto rates the 999cc unit 

with a feisty 85kW, which is quite 

gutsy for its size, there’s also a beefy 

200Nm of torque on hand, and it is 

where those outputs are developed 

that makes the most interesting 

reading. 

Peak power is available from 

5000rpm, maximum torque is 

delivered all of the way from 2000 

to 3500rpm, the result is a broad 

spread of power, delivered in true 

three-pot style, the harmonics of 

this type of engine are audible, 

but it’s not overbearing, and if you 

think like I do you will relate to the 

difference and will certainly enjoy 

the feel of mid-range boost which 

is characteristic of turbo engines. 

Drive is delivered to the front 

wheels through a seven-speed 

direct shift gearbox. Even though 

DSG is largely considered a 

manual gearbox, think automatic, 

for the Scala – and those other 

vehicles which use DSG – only has 

SIMPLISTIC: Driving the Skoda Scala is like wearing your 

favourite pair of slippers. 

SKODA SCALA AMBITION: Entry model has thrifty three-cylinder engine. 

two pedals, if you treat DSG like 

a traditional automatic then 

you will never really notice any 

difference. 

The benefit of this type of 

transmission is that it doesn’t load 

the engine in the way a torque 

converter does, drive is unimpeded 

and while you can detect shift 

changes they are quick and smooth. 

I’m very keen on this type of 

drive, and if you do want to get 

involved in the gearchange process 

you can do so through the main 

gearshift lever. 

In terms of figures, the Scala’s 

acceleration is far from disgraced, 

it will launch to 100km/h from a 

standstill in 9.8sec and will make 

a highway overtake (120km/h 

from 80km/h) in 6sec, the latter 

willing through that mid-range 

torque. 

The big benefit of the threecylinder 

layout and small 

capacity is the economy which 

can be extracted. Skoda Auto 

claims a combined cycle average 

of 5.3-litres per 100km, the trip 

computer readout in the evaluation 

car was constantly showing 

6l/100km, with 4.4l/100km listing 

at a steady 100km/h, the engine 

turning over quite responsive at 

2300rpm. 

These figures are impressive, 

which means fill-ups won’t tax the 

credit card. But if maximum fuel 

• Price – Skoda Scala 

Ambition, $29,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4362mm; width, 1988mm; 

height, 1471mm 

• Configuration – Threecylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

999cc, 85kW, 

299Nm, seven-speed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 9.81sec 

• Fuel usage – 5.3l/100km 

economy isn’t a consideration, 

check out the 5.7l/100km figure 

of the 1.5-litre engine, that is also 

quite remarkable. 

Driving the Scala is just like 

wearing your favourite pair of 

slippers, it is comfortable, easy to 

manoeuvre at just 4.3m, and is 

quiet on all surfaces. 

Skoda Auto market the Scala as 

a small-to-medium hatch, and that 

pretty much sums it up. It is small, 

but rear space isn’t compromised 

greatly and you do get the benefit 

of an under-hatch load area of 

467-litres. 

Even though the entry-level 

model doesn’t get all the bells and 

whistles of its stablemates, you do 

get a good level of kit for a 30k 

outlay, items that figure across a lot 

of Volkswagen product. 

In base form the Scala rides on 

205/55 x 17in Dunlop tyres, that is 

quite a sizeable amount of rubber 

for a small car, but the benefit is the 

grip that can be gleaned and the 

associated ride benefits. 

The Scala gets a torsion beam 

rear suspension; put simply, each 

wheel is not independent from the 

other, there’s an axle tying them 

together which doesn’t allow as 

much freedom as there would be 

otherwise. 

That’s fine, so long as the spring 

and damper rates have been well 

chosen; thankfully, Skoda has 

done a lot of development work 

for global roads, and the Scala has 

a comfortable, absorbent ride with 

tidy handling manners. 

At under 1.5m tall, you wouldn’t 

expect much gravitational force, 

and there isn’t, any body movement 

is arrested well without lurching 

occupants. 

It’s a busy time in the Skoda 

dealerships, there’s been three 

significant new arrivals in recent 

months – the Scala, a new 

crossover model badged Kamiq 

and an upgraded Karoq that I 

evaluated early last month. 

I’m so looking forward to a drive 

in the new Kamiq soon, but in the 

interim the Scala did nothing to 

dampen my enthusiasm for Skoda 

product, it is all quality built and is 

practical to boot.

Get the TLC 

experience.

Fix those minor 

defects 

Start out front, cleaning, clearing and decluttering 

the yard to make a good impression on buyers. 

It’s a rare house that doesn’t have 

defects. Even newly renovated ones 

can have features that detract for 

buyers. But there are ways for sellers 

to deflect attention from them without 

pretending they’re not there. The three 

main ways of dealing with defects are: 

1. Fix them. 

2. Draw the eye away from them. 

3. Use them as a selling point. 

Simple defects can be fixed easily. 

Start out front. Overgrown bushes can 

be trimmed, or replaced with a few 

matching plants, old fences and front 

doors can be painted or stained, and 

the paths cleaned. 

Do this even if a property is a do-up. 

You want to give the impression that 

buyers can move into the house and 

chip away at the work in their own 

time. 

If you have time and money, paint 

sills and eaves using accents. 

Inside, the first thing buyers see is 

the hallway, which can be brightened 

up with a lick of paint. The neutral 

paint trick can also be used to paint 

over dated wallpaper, completely 

changing the look and feel of a tired 

house. 

Bathrooms and kitchens are 

important to buyers, and the eye settles 

on vanities and benches. These can be 

resurfaced relatively quickly to give a 

modern look. 

Home & Property appears every Thursday, delivered FREE 

throughout Christchurch 

For more information and bookings, contact Mike Fulham 

M: 021 300 567 E: mike@starmedia.kiwi 

If the seller can’t repaint or tile 

the bathroom bring in high quality 

matching towels, which become a 

feature in the room and draw the eye 

from the less than desirable walls and 

features. Nice vases and flowers will do 

the same. 

Replacing handles and knobs to 

draw attention away from the units 

themselves. This reduces the number 

of “I have to do this” thoughts in 

potential buyers’ minds. 

Drawing the eye away from a 

multitude of sins is exactly the thing 

to do. 

If you see an empty house the eye 

always goes to marks on the carpet 

and walls and this will lower the price 

expectation.” 

Drawing the eye to the furniture and 

furnishings, creates better flow, and de 

cluttering makes buyers feel the home 

would be a nice place to live in. 

The other way to handle the 

property’s defects is to raise them with 

the buyer before they see them. 

If the carpet is bad, for example, 

you can say: “Hey, they were going to 

replace the carpet but they decided to 

leave it to you to choose a new carpet 

and priced it accordingly.” 

Finally, good old fashioned elbow 

grease is essential in all properties 

to remove those sins that are simply 

cleanable.
