cannabis 

poll points 

to yes vote 

COULD VOTERS be leaning 

towards yes in the cannabis 

referendum? 

A poll conducted on The Star’s 

Facebook page would suggest so. 

The poll found 67 per cent 

of 2934 respondents as of 

4pm yesterday, supported the 

legislation of cannabis with 33 

per cent against. This equates to 

1956 respondents being in favour 

of legalisation and 978 being 

against. 

Comments made on the 

Facebook poll exhibited a range 

of differing perspectives and 

opinions on the matter. 

Jo Margaret said she was voting 

yes, even though she doesn’t use 

cannabis or like it. 

“I want those who do use it 

to be safe, to not be a criminal 

for cannabis use. To not be 

associating with gangs and 

not put themselves at risk,” she 

said. 

Whereas Judy Ware warned 

against legalisation. 

“How can any observer vote 

yeas [sic]. Drugged drivers on our 

roads us a a [sic] scary concept. 

We have enough accidents and 

deaths now.” 

There were people like Paul 

McNeil who had not yet come to a 

final decision.

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. 

Located in the shed were 

McGrath, stablehand Robert 

Burrows, Steel The Show and a 

backpack containing 

tubing gear, including a coiled 

rubber hose, a plastic funnel, 

a twitch and an empty 800ml 

plastic drink bottle containing 

residue. 

McGrath refused to answer 

questions about the tubing gear 

and would not hand over the 

equipment, which has still not 

been recovered by the RIU. 

Combined with the expiry of 

the Colombo St store’s lease in 

12-months, a decision was made 

to seek a more suburban location, 

he said. 

“We see ourselves as a valued, 

trusted partner in the heart of our 

communities and that’s where 

we want to be. Being in Sydenham, 

one of Christchurch’s most 

diverse and vibrant neighbourhoods, 

gives us the opportunity to 

connect with customers in a more 

local setting. 

“The Colombo is Sydenham’s 

leading retail establishment and, 

like us, is locally owned and 

community-oriented. We are 

very pleased to be a cornerstone 

retailer alongside a wonderful 

diverse range of shops, hospitality 

and entertainment.” 

Allison said the closure of its 

flagship store will signal the end 

of an era for Smiths City. 

“While this has been a hard 

decision, we are looking forward 

to establishing ourselves in 

one of Christchurch’s iconic 

communities. Sydenham locals 

will soon be seeing our bright 

yellow exterior as we prepare the 

store for opening in a couple of 

months time.”

It is believed the fire was

Fire investigators are to 

speak to the children’s mother

Mulligan said she had gone

started about 10.45pm. 

Her partner and Arianna’s 

father, Des Cooke, was in the 

house when it caught fire. He 

escaped the blaze with two other 

children who were in the house. 

A Givealittle page set up for

AUCTIONS ARE taking 

place in large numbers in 

Christchurch and the houses 

under the hammer are selling. 

Ray White New Zealand 

South Island regional manager 

Jane Meyer said its latest auction 

event saw more than 100 people 

turn out for eight auctions. 

“Six of which sold under the 

hammer, and another selling 

post-auction,” she said. 

The top sale of the day was 136 

Weston Rd, St Albans, which 

went for $840,000. 

Elsewhere, 39 Mersey St, St 

Albans, sold for $838,000, 

2 Wedmore Close, Burwood, 

sold for $615,000, Beckenham’s 

13 Birdwood Ave sold for 

$556,000 and 164 Hoon Hay Rd 

sold for $470,000. 

Ray White Bishopdale sales 

agent Karen Ellis, who sold 97A 

Highstead Rd for $558,000 said 

there were 80 groups through 

during the campaign and that 

translated into nine registered 

buyers on the day – five of whom 

actively competed. 

“All nine bidders wanted to 

bid but the speed hindered their 

opportunity to do so. There was 

great competition throughout 

the auction and the final price 

far exceeded the client’s expectations,” 

she said. 

Said Ray White New Zealand 

auctioneer Ben East: “We say it 

time and time again but there’s 

no doubt the time to sell is now. 

Selling seven out of eight equates 

to an 87.5 per cent success 

rate – that’s incredible for our 

vendors.”

to own often exceeding 

vendor expectations.” 

Haley said this sort of success 

goes against what some predicted 

would happen as a result 

of Covid-19 and a few factors 

may explain it. 

“It’s all against the grain as 

far as prescribed anticipation 

post-Covid. We’ve got the first 

home market which is extremely 

strong, we’ve got strong bidding 

right through price points at 

and above $1 million, we’ve got 

23,000 Kiwis returning home 

and we’ve got very low-interest 

rates as far as options for gaining 

a mortgage.” 

Harcourts Grenadier 

auction manager Karen Phillips 

said the number of auctions and 

houses selling at them has been 

steady and similar to before 

Covid-19.

Name change 

for cemetery 

to recognise 

quake victims 


A CEMETERY has been renamed 

to recognise its wider significance 

as the home of unidentified 

victims of the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

agreed to rename Avonhead Park 

Cemetery to Avonhead Memorial 

Cemetery. 

The cemetery was approved as 

the interment site for the remains 

of unidentified victims from the 

quake. 

The Friends of Avonhead 

Cemetery have 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 quake victims. 

A total of 37 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 recommended 

against changing the name of the 

cemetery, stating 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.

Christ’s College v Boys’ High 

Sky Sport commentator 

Ken Laban described 

Christ’s College’s 28-27 

home win over historic 

rivals Christchurch Boys’ 

High on Saturday as 

‘one of the great first 

XV games of all time’. 

Reuben Mama looks back 

on one of Canterbury 

sports great rivalries 

SATURDAY WAS the 137th 

meeting between Christchurch 

Boys’ High School and Christ’s 

College, a rivalry that dates back 

to the first 

game in 1892. 

Christ’s 

College were 

victorious 

in that first 

encounter, 

Anton 

Lienert-Brown 

winning 34-0, 

which would 

be their biggest 

winning 

margin in the history of the 

fixture. Since then CBHS have 

largely had the upper hand 

– winning 84 matches, with 

Christ’s College notching up a 

further 43 victories, while there 

have been nine draws. 

Anton Lienert-Brown is the 

last All Black to come out of 

CBHS in 2012, with good mate

Damian McKenzie his Christ’s 

equivalent in 2013. 

For both Lienert-Brown 

and McKenzie the history 

and prestige of the match 

was something they became 

immersed in from the moment 

they set foot onto their respective 

schools’ grounds. 

“As a year nine going into 

Christchurch Boys’ High School 

the Christchurch Boys vs Christ’s 

College fixture is one of the first 

things you hear about,” Lienert- 

Brown reflects. 

“It’s a tradition that’s been 

around for a long time and has 

a lot of meaning. I remember 

vividly the first match I went to, 

you learn all sort of outrageous 

chants and a lot of going back and 

forth between the schools, but it’s 

one heck of a time and such an 

enjoyable time to go down there 

with your school mates and get 

behind the 1st XV.” 

McKenzie has similar 

memories. 

“It was a great fixture to be a 

part of and for 

both schools it’s 

always one they 

look forward 

to. It’s been a 

longstanding 

traditional game 

and the rivalry 

particularly 

down in 

Christchurch 

with the schools is amazing. 

Damian 

Mckenzie 

“When I first moved up from 

Southland and went to the game 

I couldn’t believe it, especially 

some of the chants I heard, I 

thought ‘this is pretty over the 

top’. However, once you get out 

there it’s pretty awesome to be a 

part of. Unfortunately we never 

won in the years I was involved, 

but since then I think the boys 

have won a few of the games and 

this weekend hopefully we can 

make it another one.” 

Lienert-Brown attended 

Christchurch Boys during 

their unbeaten run of 16 

games against Christ’s College, 

stretching from 2001-2016. He 

remembers the distinct feeling of 

running out for his first college 

match.



NEWS 7 

- a rivalry steeped in history 

“It’s definitely not normal. I 

think they’ve got about 3000 

people around the field, so for 

a 17-year-old that’s pretty cool. 

The whole day’s a big one too. 

There’s normally a meeting in the 

morning, you have a lunch and 

then there’s a big build-up to the 

game. You’re warming up and 

all the schools pile on in, Christ’s 

on one side, Boys’ High are on 

the other and you can feel the 

meaning behind it.” 

What exactly makes this 

rivalry so significant? 

The two schools are the 

first all-male schools to be 

founded in Canterbury and 

were conveniently situated just 

100 metres away from each 

other when they were first 

formed. Now, it’s almost 4km 

that separates the blue and black 

of Straven Rd CBHS from the 

black and white of Rolleston Ave 

and Christ’s College. 

CBHS director of sport Glenn 

Davis is an old boy of the school 

and has been involved with many 

college matches both on and off 

the field. 

“I think there’s a mutual 

respect between college and Boys’ 

High. Yes there’s that private 

versus state school rivalry - a bit 

like Auckland Grammar School 

and King’s College in Auckland. 

There is respect across all sports, 

CHALLENGE: Christ’s College perform the haka prior to the match. 

not just rugby and it’s probably 

the school we have associated 

with the most in Christchurch. 

We have great rivalries with St 

Andrew’s College and St Bede’s 

College and the other single sex 

boys’ schools, but with college 

there’s always been that rivalry 

that’s developed over time. A 

lot of teachers bounce between 

schools as well, so everyone’s 

well known to each other,” Davis 

explains. 

One of those who have 

bounced between schools is 

Christ’s master in charge of 

rugby Stephen Dods, who was 

director of rugby at CBHS for 14 

years before joining Christ’s in 

2015. 

“The rivalry between the two 

schools for this match is because

Blacks vs South Africa

playing each other,” Dods said. 

“It’s as simple as that. I’ve been 

fortunate enough to view it from

both schools’ perspective and 

I think it’s the same for both 

of them. This game is a proud 

tradition.” 

New All Blacks assistant 

coach Brad Mooar was part of a 

winning CBHS effort in his final 

year of school in 1992 and even 

28 years on he remembers that 

game distinctly. 

“It was a great day, my last 

year of school playing first XV 

with mates who are still my great 

mates and I remember it being 

an overcast day when we played 

college at Straven Rd. 

“Leading into the day we had 

an assembly and capping. Our 

captain lived over the road from 

the field at Boys’ High. 

I remember being across 

there at lunch time with half 

the team because you’re just 

going about your school day as 

normal and then at the end of 

the day you’ve got this big game 

of footy. We’re just over there at 

lunch time having a yarn and 

I can remember the stereo is 

blasting and playing Burning

that moment.

Historic battle forged in respect 


“Then we had the game which

Rugby backs Will Jordan and 

Josh McKay combine for seven 

tries for CBHS. 

Turning around Christ’s 

fortunes has been an exciting

coach. 

“You really feel like you’re 

bleeding blue and black and 

everything the team’s doing on 

the field you feel as though you’re 

a part of it. That is probably the 

special part of it – everyone feels 

they’re on the field with the boys. 

Whether they’ve got aspirations 

to be on the field or not, whether 

they’re musically inclined, 

academic, or rugby players, 

everyone gets in behind the team 

and I think that just pulls the 

whole school spirit together.” 

For anyone who has attended 

these matches, it’s hard to look 

past the passionate crowd led 

by the students of the respective 

schools. Each of 

the students has school pride 

as they look to give their 

school a lift by way of the school 

song, a haka or a creative chant 

that their parents would be 

horrified to hear come out of 

their mouths. 

As bodies crash and bash 

into each other on the field and 

verbal jousts are slung across 

the embankments it presents 

the question - like many classic 

sporting rivalries, is there hatred 

between these two schools? 

“Hatred’s a strong word,” says 

Gibson. 

“It’s a respect thing. Christ’s 

College have typically in the past 

come in as underdogs, 

so they’ve always wanted to take 

the scalp of Boys’ High. I think 

in the past couple of years that’s 

certainly changed and the teams 

are a lot more even and both 

consistently up in the top four 

and it does come down to who’s 

going to deal with the pressure 

most and because of how evenly 

matched they’ve been it’s put 

more of a rivalry onto it.” 

Lienert-Brown believes 

the rivalry between the two 

schools is similar to that of an 

international encounter he’s been 

involved in on many an occasion. 

“In a way it’s like the All 

Blacks vs South Africa where 

you respect both teams, but on 

the field it’s pretty brutal. There’s 

a lot of pride that you associate 

with what school you go to, so 

there is respect off the field, but 

on the field there’s no respect at 

all.” - NZ Herald

Post-match ‘scuffle’ 

TWO Christchurch Boys’ High 

School students were stood down 

and temporarily suspended from 

playing rugby after their role in 

the post-match fracas after the 

match on Saturday. 

The students, who were spectators, 

were involved in “a bit of 

push and shove” between opposing 

supporters. 

After Christ’s gripping win, 

students from both schools met 

on the field after the final whistle, 

where some collar grabbing 

and shoving ensued, along with 

an exchange of words. 

CBHS principal Nic Hill told 

Stuff the passion associated with 

the fixture was welcomed but 

it spilled over and resulted in a 

serious incident requiring consequences. 

Christ’s College executive 

principal Garth Wynne described 

the incident as “scuffles” 

and had not received any formal 

complaints. No Christ’s College 

students have therefore faced 

disciplinary action. 

A history of sideline incidents 

between the schools dating back 

to the mid-90s had seen the 

presence of police and security 

guards introduced. 

A string of arrests in 2009 then 

saw CBHS endorse a Christ’s 

College initiative to eliminate all 

alcohol from the event.

Ex-Bandidos boss reveals why 

THE FORMER president of 

the New Zealand chapter of the 

Bandidos gang has spoken up 

about his decision to leave his 

life of crime last year in a series 

of videos where he also urges 

teenagers to stay away from gangs. 

Hamish Hiroki, who lives in 

Christchurch, left the gang last 

year and has taken to YouTube to 

explain the reasons behind the 

departure. 

He hopes his videos will inspire 

teenagers to steer clear of gangs. 

“I know there’s a lot of young 

followers that are joining clubs 

now and I think they feel the 

need to join clubs because everyone 

else is doing it,” he said in a 

video from May. 

He said he joined the gang originally 

because he was seeking “a 

sense of brotherhood and a sense 

of belonging to something”. 

He said he left after falling into 

a negative head space and realising 

he did not want his son to 

following in his footsteps. 

Hiroki initially joined the Bandidos 

gang when he’d just moved 

to Christchurch, where he didn’t 

know many people. 

“I wanted to join it since I was 

a young fella, because they were 

always guys I had looked up to, 

but plain and simple, I didn’t 

really know what I was getting 

myself into really. I thought I 

did, he said. 

He added that he “lost himself 

along the way”, just following 

what others were doing. 

He climbed up the ranks and 

eventually became the president 

of the NZ chapter of the gang. 

He said his first moment of 

clarity was when he visited his 

grandmother and she “noticed a 

change”. 

“She noticed that I certainly 

got a lot harder on the exterior 

and I couldn’t see that because 

you can’t see the changes when 

you’re with yourself every day,” 

he said in one of the videos. 

The man also says he attempted 

suicide while he was part of 

the gang but his mental health 

has improved since he left. 

He now runs a weekly support

group in Christchurch for men

He tells teenagers in his videos 

to avoid gangs as they will not 

find the brotherhood he too had 

sought in them. 

“I’ve had guys turn on me that 

were my best mates ... it’s not a 

brotherhood,” he said. 

“It’s a false sense of belonging 

to something, then at the drop of 

a hat everyone can turn on you.” 

He also warns that it’s hard to 

leave once you’re already in. “If 

you’re man enough to join that 

club you be man enough to leave 

that club,” he said. 

“You came in the front door 

you go out the front door.”

One Small Step 

Can Change.... 

Everything 

These are all questions being asked by Brett Muir, who is spearheading the 

dynamic “Point of Change Forum” in Christchurch. It’s a one day re-set, it’s 

hope, it’s connection, it’s new perspective. And it’s affordable, for both the 

employed , those between jobs - and the Covid impacted. 

Brett is bringing ten presenters from all over the country to share their own 

true life stories, their individual challenges, and the tools they used to help 

them move towards a resilient mind set and a new sense of direction. 

Kylie Tolman, of Canterbury, survived Stage 3 breast cancer and founded 

charity C.A.R.E.S., which helps survivors move on from cancer. Alistair Boyd, 

of Auckland, shares his experience of both the highs and lows of business, 

and offers a perceptive understanding of transferable skills. 

David Humphries, of Canterbury, will speak about the trauma of facing and 

overcoming major medical challenges, including organ transplant. Award 

winning singer/songwriter Julia Grace, of Auckland, talks about her journey 

through anxiety and burn-out to mental well-being. And Mykle Booth, of 

Auckland, will be interviewed about his rebound after the traumatic loss of 

his business, following New Zealand’s earthquakes. 

“I want to empower people,” Brett says. He himself, 

presently with Groutpro, is creating his own new future 

with his commitment to studying Life Coaching 

with Worklife Solutions. 

“It’s also a great opportunity for people or businesses 

to sponsor someone they know to attend. It’s one 

day that could make a world of difference. 

“I feel like this is the right thing at the right 

time, and my intention is that participants 

will leave the forum re-energised , with a new 

clarity of direction.”

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 

Georgina Torrington, director of sales and marketing 

at luxury five-star boutique hotel The George 

JONATHAN JAYET and two of his 

children may have been killed by 

an out of control car if it wasn’t for 

a fence outside their home. 

At about 12.30am on Friday, 

while his children Matthew, 

Luke and Lilly slept, a motorist 

lost control of his vehicle on 

Springs Rd, Hornby, and smashed 

into Jayet’s fence, as well as his 

neighbours’ fence and house. 

Jayet said he slept through the 

sound of the impact but woke later 

to see the damage. 

He said the car would have 

crashed into his children’s 

bedrooms if the fence wasn’t there 

to slow it down. 

“All I can say is I’m thankful 

because it would have killed us if 

the fence wasn’t there,” he said. 

Jayet’s flatmate Oksana Cottrell 

said she heard the car hitting 

the fence and “thought it was an 

earthquake to begin with.” 

She went outside, checked if the 

driver was okay and gave him some 

water and a blanket. 

“He kept saying sorry,” she said. 

The driver was transported 

to Christchurch Hospital with 

moderate injuries. 

Police, a fire engine and 

ambulance were called to the crash. 

Jayet said it took two tow 

trucks to remove the car from the 

property next door. 

He said a brick dislodged from

Christchurch City Chorus 

has the sound of friendship 

LOCAL women’s a capella 

group, the Christchurch 

City Chorus, boasts a 

membership of vibrant 

women who have a passion 

for singing. Members 

take immense pride in 

creating beautiful four 

part harmony, a capella 

and barbershop music and 

love the sense of belonging 

which being part of the 

chorus brings to them. 

As Australasia’s 

premiere international 

award-winning women’s 

a capella chorus, they are 

dedicated to enriching the 

lives of members and the 

wider community through 

friendship, performance, 

education and barbershop 

musical excellence. 

Talking to members, it is 

evident the chorus’ success 

is due to so much more 

than a love for singing. In 

fact, members consider 

each other to be family. 

Long term member 

Amelia Davis of Huntsbury, 

has called the chorus

years “I love the camaraderie 

- as a chorus we are 

a diverse group all going 

in the same direction. 

We support each other 

in tough times and we

celebrate the good times 

together” 

Jill Copplestone, who 

has been singing with the 

chorus for 10 years, loves the 

challenge of learning new 

music and the excitement 

when it all comes together 

as a great performance. “I 

love to sing, even if it only 

used to be with my pepper 

grinder microphone on New 

Year’s Eve. I went along to a 

rehearsal, watched the chorus 

and knew I just wanted 

to be a part of it.” 

Award winning master 

director and in-house 

musical coach, Virginia 

Humphrey-Taylor says the 

chorus are keen to extend 

their family further and 

are actively looking to 

embrace new members. 

If you love to sing, have 

an ear for harmony, want 

to meet new friends and 

are keen to learn from 

two top music coaches 

Virginia Humphrey Taylor 

and Richard Marrett, 

the chorus practise every 

Wednesday evening at 

Cashmere High.

OPINION 


When a spark sets off a mob 

From the 

editor’s desk 

Barry Clarke 

HISTORY SHOWS it doesn’t 

take much to spark a mob. 

It only needs a few agitators 

and strong personalities to get 

others to follow, who in normal 

circumstances wouldn’t have the 

strength, courage or conviction 

to make a stand or get involved. 

Mob and pack behaviour is 

part of our DNA, which ranges 

from positive outcomes in bringing 

down oppressive governments 

and regimes to the cowardly, 

where people are attacked 

because they are a different race, 

creed or religion, or for simply 

no reason at all. 

The dust-up between Christ’s 

College and Christchurch Boys’ 

High School supporters after 

their annual rugby match on 

Saturday is a classic case of a few 

stirring up and the rest following. 

It wasn’t much of a scrap, 

but again the historic rivalries 

at this particular match came 

to the fore, prompted by a few, 

joined by many. Nothing much 

happened apart from pushing 

and shoving and maybe the odd 

punch thrown. 

But a spark can set off a powder 

keg. 

Years ago at Aranui High 

School I played basketball. I was 

selected for my speed, not my 

height. 

The school had always produced 

top basketball teams over 

the years and the era I was there 

was no different. 

A double-header home Friday 

match against Xavier College 

involving our open grade team 

(fifth, sixth and seventh forms) 

and us, the fourth-form side, 

was memorable, but not for the 

basketball. 

Our match was fiery; the open 

grade clash even more so, which 

fed an increasingly restless and 

hostile crowd. 

When the main game ended 

and the Xavier teams and their 

supporters headed back to their 

RIVALS: Differences over who we are and what sports teams we support can set off an 

angry mob like these rival German football fans. 

PHOTO GETTY IMAGES 

van, they were jostled, kicked 

and punched by Aranui supporters. 

The Xavier van was 

damaged. 

A number of us players tried to 

intervene and protect the Xavier 

players and supporters but the 

mob, while not large, was by now 

well out of control. Normally 

mild-mannered supporters had 

the smell for blood. 

The fallout between the 

schools was considerable. Weeks 

later our team was dispatched to 

play Xavier at Xavier. Not sure 

why, as the game was scheduled 

for Cowles Stadium and it was 

our open grade team and their 

supporters, many of them who 

had left school, where all of the 

after match trouble had stemmed 

from. 

But clearly we were the sacrificial 

lamb. It was to be payback. 

The Xavier gym was full with 

their students and they gave it 

to us. 

We were glad to get out of 

there.

Death penalty 

I agree 100 per cent with Dr 

Alayan regarding the death 

penalty. 

It’s fine to say its “barbaric” or 

“go back to where you come from” 

by those who are living in safe – 

possibly, regularly police-patrolled 

ares – and have never been 

directly affected by this horrific 

tragedy, but ask the families of 

those who may have lost their only 

child, their only bread-winner for 

no fault of their own and whom 

they’ll never see again. 

However, if New Zealand feels 

the death penalty is inappropriate 

then the least our Government 

can do is to immediately deport 

this killer, where he should be 

made to serve a life sentence of 

rigorous imprisonment. 

It’s obvious such criminals do 

not appreciate the kindness of the 

Kiwi culture nor the benevolence 

of Kiwi law. There should be no 

place for such criminals – as they 

can never change their basic way 

of thinking in our peace-loving 

country – Inderjit Chadda 

No I do not believe under any 

circumstances we should bring 

back the death penalty. But such 

horrible crimes should be life 

inside. – Brenda Sawyers 

Contractors compo 

I agree wholeheartedly with 

Anthony Brooks (The Star July 

16) assertion that the contractors 

making claims for losses incurred 

due to the Covid-19 don’t 

feel part of the five million. 

I was appalled reading in last 

week’s Star that Isaacs were making 

a multi-million dollar claim 

against the council. 

This smacks of the sense of 

entitlement born of the “culture 

of me” that has blighted New 

Zealand since the Roger Douglas 

social and economic revolution 

followed by then Ruth Richardson’s 

austerity and rammed home 

Jenney Shipley and National’s 

“Brat Pack.” – David Marra 

(Abridged) 

Barrett v Mo’unga 

Great Gregor Paul article 

about the Beauden Barrett v 

Richie Mo’unga first-five debate. 

He is absolutely correct. Richie 

Mo’unga is the best first-five. 

His second-half performance 

last week against the Blues once 

again showcased that. Many 

pro-Barrett scribes and commentators 

are pushing the idea , 

he is still the best just not playing 


there, (at first-five). What they 

continually ignore is Richie’s 

outplaying of him regularly when 

he was playing in that position 

for the Hurricanes. – Graham 

Paterson 

University boiler 

Last week The Star reported 

that Canterbury University is 

changing its coal boiler to a biomass 

boiler to save 9000 tonnes 

of CO2 emissions per year. The 

biomass in this case is most likely 

trees, so my question is, does the 

9000 tonnes of savings include 

the CO2 emissions involved in 

the felling, cutting, and transporting 

of trees? 

I am concerned about the 

environment and therefore 

concerned that sometimes, not 

just in this case, that calculations 

of CO2 savings is simply of the 

end result, in this case burning 

of trees for energy. I feel the 

whole process needs to be taken 

into account to know the overall 

impact on the environment and 

the CO2 emissions being created. 

– Dianne Downward 

Canterbury University’s energy & 

carbon manager|Kaiwhakahaere 

Pūngao Tony Sellin responds: 

Our new biomass boiler will 

run on wastewood, a by-product 

of forestry from renewable plantations. 

Biomass from renewable 

plantations is considered to be 

carbon neutral and will enable 

UC to reduce coal emissions by 

80 per cent while we continue to 

work to make the 76ha campus 

completely coal-free and move 

to renewable ground source 

heat pump energy. This is more 

sustainable but requires us to first 

upgrade our older legacy building 

stock. 

UC has committed to reducing 

carbon emissions with Toitū carbonreduce 

(formerly CEMARS) 

since 2010 and its GHG inventory 

is audited and certified annually.

OPINION 

TODAY THE city council will 

be meeting to discuss and adopt 

the 2020-21 Annual Plan, after 

receiving over 1000 written 

submissions and hearing from 

more than 116 submitters in 

person. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed the 

Annual Plan process this year, 

having chaired all of the meetings, 

briefings and then the hearings in 

my role as chair of the finance and 

performance committee. 

The development of the plan 

has, however, been a challenging 

process for the city council, as 

we originally released the draft 

Annual Plan for consultation in 

February. Then the impact of the 

Covid-19 pandemic caused some 

major changes to our finances and 

we needed to revise the draft Annual 

Plan to reflect this, resulting 

in the release of an updated draft 

Annual Plan and a new consultation 

document on June 12. 

This new time line only allowed 

a short time for consultation 

with the community, but I 

have been really impressed by 

the quantity and quality of the 

feedback we received in written 

submissions and from people 

speaking to us at the hearings. 

After taking this valuable 

feedback into account, we made 

further changes to the draft Annual 

Plan. 

The majority of submitters opposed 

the city council reintroducing 

the weedkiller, Glyphosate, so 

we now propose not to increase 

its use and to retain the current 

policy. 

The excess water use charging 

proposal has been included in the 

plan, with 65 per cent of submitters 

in favour of this. We also got 

a very clear message that residents 

are not happy with the condition 

of some of our roads, so we have 

made a further $4.5 million available 

in the budget specifically for 

road sealing work over the next 

year. 

The revised draft Annual Plan

July 23, 1952 – Yvette Williams 

leaps to Olympic gold. 

Williams won the long jump at 

Helsinki to become New Zealand’s 

first female Olympic medallist. 

Thanks to amateur radio 

operators who were monitoring 

shortwave broadcasts, New Zealanders 

who stayed up through 

the night were able to follow her 

progress. 

July 24, 2000 – New Zealand 

soldier Private Leonard Manning 

was the first New Zealander 

killed in combat since the Vietnam 

War. Manning’s patrol was 

part of New Zealand’s contribution 

to the United Nations peacekeeping 

force in the fledgling 

nation of East Timor. 

July 25, 1981 – Anti-Springbok 

tour demonstrators invaded 

Hamilton’s Rugby Park, forcing 

the abandonment of the 

Springboks-Waikato match. 

This announcement was greeted 

with chants of “we want rugby.’’ 

Spectators attacked protesters as 

the police ushered them from 

the ground. 

July 26, 1865 – Parliament 

moves from Auckland to more 

centrally-located Wellington 

on the recommendation of a 

specially appointed Australian 

commission. The former 

Wellington Provincial Council 

chamber became the new home 

for Parliament. 

July 27, 1963 – Pioneer aviator 

George Bolt dies. Bolt was an 

outstanding figure in the development 

of commercial aviation. 

Among his many achievements 

were taking New Zealand’s first 

aerial photographs in 1912 and 

delivering its first official airmail 

in 1919. He served with the 

RNZAF during World War 2. 

July 28, 1893 – The women’s 

suffrage petition was presented 

to Parliament. The monster 

petition contained the signatures 

of more than 25,000 women. A 

dozen other, smaller petitions 

were also submitted around the 

same time. Together they contained 

the signatures of nearly 

32,000 women − almost a quarter 

of the adult European female 

population of New Zealand. 

July 29, 1981 – Up to 2000 anti-Springbok 

tour protesters were 

confronted by police who used 

batons to stop them marching 

up Molesworth St, Wellington, 

to the home of South Africa’s 

consul to New Zealand. Former 

Prime Minister Norman Kirk’s 

prediction eight years earlier that 

a Springbok tour would result in 

the “greatest eruption of violence 

this country has ever known,’’ 

now seemed prophetic.

GARDENING 23 

GARDENING ADVICE 

Today’s winning question came 

from Iris Goodmanson. 

Congratulations! 

Q 

My ornamental bay trees have a 

lot of dead leaves in the middle. 

How do I bring them back to 

health? What are they trying to 

tell me? 

A 

Brown leaves on the inside of bay trees are a 

regular occurrence, particularly after long, 

dry summers. It is caused by the plant 

becoming excessively dry over January 

and February. Bay trees grow especially 

well in a rich soil that is kept well-watered. They 

also love nitrogen fertiliser, especially when applied 

early in the growing season. 

Where bay trees have been well fertilised, the leaves 

will be a deep green colour as opposed to the light 

green colour when they are lacking in nutrients. You 

can either remove the brown leaves by hand, or they will

soup recipe is made 

with cumin, coriander, 

turmeric and ginger. It 

really is a heart-warming 

bowl of goodness 

Curried parsnip soup 

6 servings 

Ingredients 

750g parsnips (about 6-7),

2 tbsp olive oil 

¼ tsp ground cumin 

1 tsp ground coriander

2 garlic cloves, crushed 

2 bay leaves 

1.3 litres fresh vegetable stock 

Fresh coriander leaves to serve 

Directions 

Heat the oven to 180 deg C/160 

deg C fan. Slice about 100g of 

the parsnips very thinly on a 

mandoline or using a sharp knife. 

Pat dry with kitchen paper, toss 

with 1 tbsp of the oil, the cumin 

and some salt and pepper, then 

spread out on a large baking

Heat the remaining oil

• By Reuben Mama 

WHEN replacement prop Jack 

Jones took his place on the 

Christ’s College bench ahead of 

their match against bitter rivals 

Christchurch Boys’ High School 

on Saturday, he could’ve never 

imagined 65min later he’d have 

his name etched in history. 

Jones scored one of the most 

spectacular individual tries seen 

in this prestigious contest, to 

give his school just their second 

win over CBHS in 20 years, as 

they hung on to be 28-27 victors. 

Said Christ’s coach Reuben 

Thorne: “It was right in front of 

us, so we were pretty pumped. 

Jack’s a dynamic guy, he’s a 

front-rower, but at school he 

competes in the 100m sprint, 

so is that sort of athlete. It was a 

really special moment and fantastic 

he had the ability to come 

on and turn the game like that.” 

It was a game that had everything, 

with passion and desire 

oozing out of both schools on 

and off the field. Both sides 

traded tries early, before CBHS 

right winger Will Brownie 

scored two tries in quick succession 

including an astounding 

contorting finish for his first 

five-pointer to give the visitors a 

15-8 advantage. Christ’s added 

a penalty through first-five Nick 

Shearer, before midfielder Angus 

Hammett barged over for a 

converted try to give Christ’s an 


JUBILANT: Jack Jones dives over to score the winning try that secured Christ’s College’s second win over Christchurch 

Boys’ High School in 20 years at Christs’ College on Saturday. He celebrates after scoring.

18-15 advantage at the break. 

Consistent pressure from 

CBHS in the second half saw 

them edge in front 22-18. They 

looked to have landed a killer 

blow in the 48th-minute, when 

co-captain and centre Callum 

Saunders latched onto a Christ’s 

cut-out ball and raced 55m to 

score in front of the biggest contingent 

of his supporters. 

They stormed the in-goal and 

enveloped Simpson in a collective 

embrace which typified just 

what this rivalry means. 

Shearer closed the gap to 

27-21 with a well-taken drop 

goal under advantage and it was 

game on for the final 15min. 

Christ’s continued to build 

pressure on the CBHS goal line. 

Guy Jensen was shown a yellow 

card for one too many team 

penalties, leaving CBHS to play 

out the remainder of the game 

with 14 players. 

Then came the pivotal moment 

of the game. 

CBHS failed to find touch and 

relieve pressure from a penalty, 

which enabled Christ’s to venture 

into their half. After seven 

phases the ball fell into the 

hands of Jones in the 17 jersey. 

Defying his propping stature, 

he dummied to his outside 

backs, stepped off his left foot 

and beat three defenders, 

galloping 25m and diving under 

the post to score the matchwinning 

try with 4min to play.

young age, but Obel-Hall’s dual 

Danish citizenship enables him to 

compete as a local player. 

“I feel super-lucky. That Danish 

passport is definitely my golden 

ticket,” says Obel-Hall whose Danish 

mother Camilla will travel with 

him to help him get set up. 

“Once I am all sorted with my 

apartment and with a new school, 

my mum will head back to New 

Zealand and I will be looking after 

myself. It will be a great experience,” 

says the teenager who has 

played in the Christchurch United 

first team under former All Whites 

star Danny Halligan for the past 

two seasons, regularly competing 

in the Mainland Premier League. 

Obel-Hall last year trialled at 

professional clubs in Germany, 

the Netherlands and Denmark 

and went back this year to 

Winston Reid’s former club, FC 

Midtjylland, who were interested 

in signing him. 

“Unfortunately, they had no 

spots left on their roster but 

recommended me to Esbjerg fB,” 

Obel-Hall said. 

Obel-Hall will initially join the 

club’s under-17 squad and can’t 

wait to test himself against his 

peers on a day-to-day basis.

LEISURE 



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. “We want to 

empower them to feel more confident 

and in control when they’re making such 

a big decision.” 

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. Owning an 

apartment may also mean you need to 

pay body corporate fees. These costs 

can be a bit of a shock to the system if 

you’ve rented for a long time. 

“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 preapproval 

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 must-haves are, then work 

out what you’re willing to compromise 

on,” Lampen-Smith says.

throughout Christchurch

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? 

“If you’re the sort of person who likes a 

good list, we’ve got a useful ‘researching 

the property’ checklist on settled.govt.nz 

that will help you keep track of all the 

questions to ask about a property. This 

is especially useful if you’re looking at 

more than one property at a time.” 

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. 

Remember that paying for good advice 

is an investment that will buy you more 

peace of mind than a quick once-over by 

a mate. 

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’. 

“Be honest with yourselves about how 

much DIY you can really do, especially 

if you’ve got pets and kids,” Lampen- 

Smith says. 

“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.”

Manager Hearings and Council Support 

Powered up in 

fully electric Ioniq 

IF THERE was one good 

thing to come out of the 

alert level three coronavirus 

lockdown, it would be that 

it heightened my awareness 

of hybrid technology. 

In the interest of public 

safety, the local Hyundai 

dealership closed its doors 

early, a couple of days 

before lockdown. It was 

on one of those days that I 

was scheduled to return an 

Ioniq plug-in hybrid, that 

being the case, I was left 

with it in my care for that 

month. 

During that time I used 

it to take my wife to work 

on a daily basis, she was 

deemed an essential worker. 

I grew to appreciate that 

hybrids have their place 

and the Ioniq PHEV made 

a marked impression for its 

economy and ease of use, it 

really is much the normal 

car. 

As its nameplate would 

suggest, the Ioniq in this 

form has a petrol engine 

and electric motor which 

work together in traditional 

hybrid fashion; however, it 

also has the benefit of being 

able to charge the battery 

through a plug-in household 

electric supply, or 

from a charge station such 

as those at malls. Really it’s 

the best of all worlds for 

those who feel they need to 

do their bit for the environment. 

Or else, you could do 

away with the petrol engine 

in total. The Hyundai Ioniq 

is also on the market as 

an electric vehicle only, its 

sole source of propulsion is 

through an electric motor 

powered by a 38kWh 

lithium-ion polymer battery 

bank, charged through 

plug-in. 

This evaluation focuses 

on the $66,000 Ioniq EV 

($72,000 Elite). It is there 

for those who want to make 

the total commitment to get 

away from burning fossil 

fuel. Those who do want 

totally electric will need to 

be prepared to pay for it, 

it’s $12,000 more expensive 

than the PHEV, although it 

would be expected that cost 

would be recovered over a 

period of time, buying electricity 

is said to be much 

cheaper than buying petrol. 

It would cost between 

$5 and $10 cost to recharge 

the Ioniq from low 

charge to full charge, that’s 

just a rough guide, there 

are many factors which 

determine cost – supplier, 

night and day rates, length 

of charge, the list goes on. 

You must also factor in that 

not all homes have wiring 

conducive to supplying the 

current needed, a designated 

charge point correctly 

wired is preferred. Of 

course, there are the charge 

HYUNDAI IONIQ EV: Plug-in, charge up and drive off. 

stations which are being 

rolled out in ever-increasing 

numbers nationwide. 

In terms of length of time 

to charge, the Ioniq needs 

over six hours to charge 

from empty, that’s using a 

designated charge point. 

If you are at a fast charge 

station, 80 per cent capacity 

can be reached in about 

an hour. From a household 

supply using a three-pin 

plug cable, a full top-up 

will take up to 17 hours. 

That being the case, regular 

top-ups would be more 

productive. 

• Price – Hyundai Ioniq 

EV, $65,990 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4470mm; 

width, 1820mm; 

height, 1460mm 

• Configuration – 

Electric motor, frontwheel-drive, 

100kW, 

295Nm, automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 10.5sec 

The Ioniq’s power plant 

is pretty much the same 

design as that which powers 

its stablemate Kona – a 

small SUV. However, the 

Ioniq is a small-to-medium 

liftback that stands out for 

high level of specification 

and purposeful design. It is 

a definite five-seater and it 

gets plenty of features. 

Driving the Ioniq needs 

no special effort, there are 

just four central push buttons 

which are self-explanatory, 

drive, reverse, neutral 

and park. From that point 

on you just drive as you 

would in a petrol-powered 

car. The only notable difference 

is there is lot of motor 

braking associated with 

deceleration. I particularly 

like that, it means you are 

less reliant on the brakes, 

and it feels reassuring. 

Hyundai claims 100kW 

and 295Nm power outputs 

and that’s feisty enough, I 

particularly like the feel of 

electric energy, there is a 

strong feeling of acceleration 

as the torque from the 

electric motor winds up. 

Speed isn’t overly vivid, but 

there is a solid pull of motor 

power when you ask for 

it, and that steady supply is 

seamless and constant, providing 

more of a sensation 

of speed than you would 

otherwise imagine. 

The Ioniq is rated with a 

311km distance between 

charges. The evaluation car 

was sitting on 160km range 

when I picked it up, and it 

quickly dropped to 100km 

with just a few inner-city 

commutes in very cold 

weather, that scenario not 

conducive to batteries 

retaining charge. 

Nevertheless, once on the 

highway at legal open road 

speed, the Ioniq is relatively 

thrifty with its use of available 

power. 

My best friend is an EV 

Nissan Leaf owner in the 

United States, his car is old 

but it’s still on the original 

set of batteries which are 

giving him satisfactory 

distance, well at least in 

warm temperatures, it’s 

not so flash in the cold of 

Virginia. 

He often charges free of 

cost at some of the several 

sites near his home; he tells 

me it’s not all plain sailing 

though, several times he 

has had to wait in a queue 

to charge, and has been 

confronted by others who 

have said while his car was 

on charge: “Move on, you’ve 

had long enough.’’ 

I’m not saying that would 

happen in New Zealand, 

but there are complications 

that will arise until New 

Zealand’s EV infrastructure 

is fully supported. In the 

meantime, there are many 

other good reasons to go on 

the EV journey. 

The Ioniq is just one car 

of many which is making 

its mark in that part of the 

market. For me, I’m still 

leaning towards a hybrid 

as the preferred option 

between the two.
