WHAT ABOUT OUR 

FREE CONCERT DAVE! 

• By Dylan Smits 

IN 2015, Foo Fighters lead 

singer Dave Grohl made a 

pledge to the 27,000 strong 

crowd at AMI Stadium: The 

next time they played in 

Christchurch it would be for 

free. 

Grohl had looked around the 

city during his stay and was 

staggered by the damage the 

February 2011 earthquake had 

caused. 

“If you motherf**ckers sing 

as loud as you can, I promise, 

you have my word, that the Foo 

Fighters will come back. We’ll 

find some nice big space outside 

somewhere. Next time we come 

back, we’ll play a free f**cking 

show for y’all,” he said. 

Grohl added: “It might be 

2027, but I’m saying next time 

it’s on me.”

Mosque 

inquest: 

Survivors 

needed 

surgeons 

• By Danielle Clent 

AN AMBULANCE officer broke 

down in tears describing trying 

to treat worshippers who needed 

surgeons, not paramedics, after 

being shot in the terror attack at 

the Al Noor Mosque. 

Craig Stockdale was one of the 

first St John ambulance officers 

at the mosque after the mass 

shooting on March 15, 2019. 

He became emotional 

answering questions at the 

coronial inquest yesterday about 

potentially life-saving treatments 

for injured people in the Deans 

Ave mosque, saying they would 

not be carried out in a mass 

casualty situation because of the 

skill and time involved. 

“In my heart, I knew, what 

these people needed was a 

surgeon, not a paramedic on the 

periphery trying to help them,” 

he said. 

“They needed a hospital and we 

as a group, we knew that and that 

was our sole aim.” 

Stockdale said the mosque’s 

hallway was “littered” with 

bodies and paramedics had to 

step over people to help those 

who had survived.

THE DRIVER of a car which ploughed 

through a pole and a barrier at the 

Halswell shopping area miraculously 

escaped serious injury. 

The vehicle lost control on Halswell 

Rd and came to a halt on a grassed area. 

Parts of the vehicle were scattered. The 

driver fled the scene. 

A police spokesperson said a patrol saw 

a vehicle speeding and driving dangerously 

on Halswell Rd about 3.15am on 

Friday, but it was not pursued because of 

the manner of driving. 

Police have now identified a person of 

interest and inquiries are ongoing, the 

spokesperson said. 

The car was not stolen.

Speeding driver crashes; flees scene 

• From page 1 

The Coroners Court earlier 

heard a senior policeman, who 

was watching a delayed feed 

of the terrorist’s livestream 

of the massacre, relayed the 

information in error in a 

panicked transmission over 

police radio. 

For a few minutes, police and 

paramedics at the scene thought 

the terrorist was returning to the 

mosque, but they soon realised it 

was a mistake. 

It was one of the times where 

Stockdale felt the security situation 

at the scene changed. 

Stockdale told the court police 

at the scene did not tell him the 

information was incorrect, which 

was “unsettling”. 

There was no debrief about 

the situation and they all “just 

ploughed on”. 

Just minutes later at 2.15pm, 

the first two St John paramedics 

entered the mosque with an 

armed police escort to assess the 

situation. 

Soon after, injured survivors 

began being taken from the 

mosque, but Stockdale said he 

“absolutely” still believed the 

gunman might come back. 

He said if he had been told it 

was a false alarm, it may have 

reduced his concern. 

The inquest will examine 

the following 10 issues over six 

weeks: 

• Events of March 15, 2019 

from the commencement of the 

attack until the terrorist’s formal 

interview by police 

• Response times and entry 

processes of police and ambulance 

officers at each mosque 

• Triage and medical response 

at each mosque 

• The steps that were taken to 

apprehend the offender 

• The role of, and processes 

undertaken by, Christchurch 

Hospital in responding to the 

attack 

• Co-ordination between 

emergency services and first 

responders 

• Whether the terrorist had any 

direct assistance from any other 

person on March 15, 2019 

• If raised by immediate family, 

and to the extent it can be

Meth 

found 

in dog, 

trainer 

banned 

CANTERBURY greyhound 

trainer John McInerney has been 

banned for a year after one of his 

racing dogs tested positive for 

methamphetamine and another 

was mistreated. 

The Racing Integrity Board disqualified 

McInerney (above) from 

holding a greyhound training 

licence for 12 months for failing 

to produce a methamphetaminefree 

greyhound. He was also 

given a six-month concurrent 

ban for failing to comply with 

Greyhound Racing New Zealand 

health and welfare standards. 

He was ordered to pay $6026 to 

the RIB and $2500 to the adjudicative 

committee. 

But the ban will be academic – 

whilst he is still a licence holder 

Darfield-based McInerney 

effectively retired at the start 

of the racing season in August, 

handing over his dogs to son 

Jason to train. 

The hearing into McInerney 

heard his dog Alpha Riley was 

found to have methamphetamine 

in its system after routine drug 

testing. 

Investigators also say another 

dog, Impressive Isla, was found 

in “clear and visible pain and 

distress” in October last year. 

McInerney was also investigated 

last year after handing 11 

greyhounds over to a rehoming 

kennel, eight of whom presented 

with severe signs of neglect and 

mistreatment. 

He has previously been 

prosecuted and fined after 

five of his dogs suffocated to 

death inside a van on a Cook 

Strait crossing. He also has a 

long history of his dogs testing 

positive for banned substances, 

with incidents in 1997, 2001, 

2010, 2013, 2017, and 2023.

Concert promise 

‘got overlooked’ 

• From page 1 

People who were at the 2015 

concert are questioning why the 

2024 event isn’t free. 

The Star asked Grohl and the 

band’s management why they 

weren’t backing up on the pledge 

through New Zealand tour 

promoter Frontier Touring last 

week. 

Frontier Touring communications 

director Maria Robinson 

said yesterday she still had 

not received a response from 

Grohl or Foo Fighters management. 

The Christchurch concert 

is one of the nine shows in 

Australia and New Zealand 

starting in Perth on November 

29, following the release of 

the American rock band’s 

eleventh studio album But Here 

We Are. 

As part of their 2018 world 

tour, the Foo Fighters played 

their only New Zealand show in 

Auckland. 

But before the tour started, the 

band’s bassist Nate Mendel told 

Stuff the lack of a Christchurch 

concert was an oversight. He 

also made reference to Grohl’s 

promise of a free concert. 

“That promise got overlooked 

this time,” Mendel said then.

Grey Power concerns 

over cashless buses 

• By David Hill 

THE PROSPECT of cashless 

buses will cause anxiety for 

older residents, Grey Power’s Jan 

Pentecost says. 

She was reacting to 

Environment Canterbury’s 

decision to move to cashless 

buses next year, in the interests 

of staff safety. 

Passengers on the Greater 

Christchurch Metro Network 

will be unable to pay by cash 

from the second half of 2024, as 

part of the implementation of 

the National Ticketing Solution 

(NTS). 

“Many older people have used 

cash all their lives,’’ Pentecost 

said. 

“There are a group of our 

older people who go down to 

the ATM on pension day and 

withdraw most of their money 

and pay for everything by cash, 

because that is what they have 

always done. 

“When they are 80-odd, they 

get really anxious about all these 

changes.’’ 

Over-65s can use their gold 

card to ride for free from 9am 

on weekdays and all weekend 

and public holidays, so many do 

not have a Metro card, 

Pentecost said. 

ECan customer service and 

public transport marketing 

manager Thomas McNaughton 

said Metro operators had 

advocated removing cash from 

buses and ferries for some time. 

“Over the last 18 months, 

staff have worked closely with 

operators and other partners to 

improve network safety for both 

staff and customers. 

“This has been in response 

to an increase in incidents and 

complaints around safety.’’ 

He said about 12 percent of 

passenger trips were paid for by 

cash. 

The new NTS will provide 

payment options such as debit/ 

credit card, a pre-paid card, or 

smart devices – but not cash. 

Patrons will be able to top-up 

pre-paid cards at service centres 

and online. 

Pentecost said overseas 

research has shown there will 

always be a group of people 

unable to use technology, 

whether due to cost or being 

unable to learn. 

“As we move to a cashless 

society and digital inclusion, 

it feels like old people don’t 

matter.’’

WORK IS about to start on the 

contentious 10km/h speed limit 

changes on Gloucester St. 

From Monday, contractors 

will be installing speed cushions, 

planters, seating and other street 

furniture in the section between 

Colombo St and Manchester St. 

The city council says the work 

is designed to make Gloucester St 

more people-friendly. 

Ninety per cent of the cost is 

being funded through Waka 

Kotahi’s Streets for People 

programme, aimed at making 

low-cost and rapid changes 

to streets ahead of permanent 

upgrades. 

The site was chosen because 

Gloucester St is home to the 

Performing Arts precinct and 

connects to New Regent St, 

as well as Tūranga, Te Pae 

Christchurch Convention Centre, 

Cathedral Square, and will also 

become home to the new Court 

Theatre when it opens in May 

next year. 

City council transport 

planning and delivery manager 

Jacob Bradbury said the trial will 

help the city council understand 

how the changes will affect the 

area before any permanent work 

is considered. 

“We are very keen to hear what 

people think about the changes 

once they’re installed so we’re 

really encouraging feedback 

during the trial,” he said. 

“We’ll also be actively 

monitoring traffic and watching 

to see how people move through 

and use the area. This helps us see 

what works and what doesn’t, and 

we can quickly make changes 

based on feedback.”

Once installed, people will

A trial was due to be launched 

earlier this year. It was put on

stakeholders. 

In September, city councillors 

moved a motion to continue the 

work with a design to allow for 

two-way traffic.

Man arrested following 

kindergarten burglaries 

A MAN has been arrested in 

relation to a series of burglaries 

targeting kindergartens and 

early childhood centres across 

the city. 

The 34-year-old man faces 

nine charges of burglary by 

night. 

He is due to appear in the 

district court next Thursday. 

The alleged incidents span 

from late September to this 

month. During this time, police 

received a number of reports 

of stolen planter boxes, worm 

farms and gardening equipment. 

“Inquiries are continuing, but 

police want to thank the people 

who have provided information 

that allowed our investigations 

to progress,” a police spokesperson 

said. 

It comes after a Givealittle 

page was set up for the Sydenham 

Community Preschool after 

it was the target of a burglary in 

early October. 

Parent Jon Sharpe set up the 

fundraiser to replace the stolen 

items. 

Sports equipment, gardening 

supplies, maintenance tools and 

educational resources were reported 

stolen from the preschool 

on October 7 and 8.

COURT 


Double fatal crash father on trial for 

• By Emily Moorhouse 

A FATHER has been accused of 

encouraging dangerous driving 

after a family gathering that led 

to a collision causing the death of 

his son and another young man. 

Mark Nicholl was dining with 

family and friends at a bar in 

Halswell when he and his family 

members allegedly began street 

racing, leading to a double fatal 

collision that not only claimed 

two lives but also left two of his 

other sons seriously injured. 

The 55-year-old is on trial in 

the district court facing two 

charges of being a party to 

dangerous driving causing death 

and one of dangerous driving 

causing injury. 

His son Mark Nicholl jnr, 

30, and family friend William 

Clark, 29 were both killed while 

another son Jayden Nicholl was 

seriously injured. A third son 

Shanan Nicholl suffered a traumatic 

brain injury. 

Shanan originally faced the 

same charges as his father but 

was considered unfit to stand 

trial due to his brain injury and 

was discharged. 

Nicholl senior’s nephew Ricky 

Nicholl was also involved and 

has pleaded guilty to the same 

charges, as well as a charge of 

attempting to pervert the course 

of justice by swapping seats with 

another man following the crash. 

COLLISION: The crash site where Mark Nicholl Jnr and his friend William Clark were killed. 

PHOTO: GEORGE HEARD/NZ HERALD 

Prosecutor Christina Hallaway 

opened the case describing the 

collision between a Subaru and 

ute that resulted in the “avoidable” 

deaths of two young men. 

It is the Crown’s case that although 

Nicholl senior wasn’t the 

driver of the Subaru at the time 

of the crash, he “intentionally encouraged” 

the driver, Shanan, to 

drive dangerously and therefore, 

he can be held liable under the 

term “party liability”. 

Hallaway said on the evening 

of September 25, 2021, about 

midday Nicholl senior and his 

family and friends were dining 

at Armadillos in Halswell before 

leaving in a group just before 

7.30pm. 

Nicholl snr, Nicholl jnr, 

Shanan Nicholl, Jayden Nicholl, 

Ricky Nicholl, William Clark 

and Matthew Gibbons were 

among those who left in four 

cars, travelling in a convoy. 

As the group travelled towards 

the Halswell Junction and Shands 

Rd intersection they began 

racing, overtaking one another, 

breaking heavily at traffic lights 

and speeding excessively when 

they turned green, the Crown 

alleged. 

During this time, she alleged 

some of the men jumped out of 

the driver’s seat and climbed into 

the passenger seat, taking turns 

racing each other. 

As the convoy approached the 

Halswell Junction and Shands 

Rd intersection, the Jeep, driven 

by Ricky, went speeding ahead 

and began “fishtailing”, appearing 

to have lost control, according 

to a witness. 

From the other side of the 

road, approaching the intersection 

was a couple in a ute towing 

a trailer. They were travelling 

home from the Halswell New 

World at about 7.30pm and 

both described hearing a loud 

screeching as they approached 

the intersection. 

As the couple looked around 

to see where the screeching was 

coming from, they described seeing 

the Jeep fishtailing towards 

them. 

As they watched the Jeep, they 

were hit head-on by the Subaru, 

allegedly driven by Shanan, 

which had spun out of control 

and was travelling sideways 

towards them.

COURT 9 

allegedly encouraging street racing 

Jayden, Nicholl jnr and Clark 

were passengers in the Subaru, 

Hallaway said. 

The man driving the ute 

described the collision as 

happening very quickly and 

said he didn’t even have time to 

realise what was happening as 

the Subaru hit him. 

He estimated he would have 

been travelling about 65km/h as 

he was towing a trailer and was 

anticipating the lights turning 

orange at the intersection. 

The Crown alleged the Subaru 

would have been travelling well 

over 100km/hr as it rotated 

clockwise and crossed the 

centerline, into the path of the 

ute. 

The Crown also alleged that 

Nicholl snr, who was following 

the Subaru in a Holden, was 

aware of the crash that involved 

his sons, but continued driving 

home. 

After the collision, the driver 

of the ute checked his partner 

was okay and they both climbed 

out of the passenger door side, 

as the driver’s door could not be 

opened. 

Once the pair saw the severity 

of the crash, they began to check 

the four men in the Subaru, some 

of whom were unconscious or 

making groaning sounds. 

The woman described a scene 

of chaos as people began turning 

up to the crash scene, including 

some girls who she said began 

screaming once they saw the state 

of the men in the Subaru. 

The man managed to pull one 

person from the vehicle and 

waited with him on the side of 

the road as emergency services 

began arriving. 

The man said he only had 

minor injuries such as bruising, 

while the woman required 

surgery and suffered whiplash, a 

concussion, scarring to the back 

of her eye and distorted hearing 

in her left ear. 

Nicholl jnr and Clark died 

at the scene while Shanan and 

Jayden were transported to the 

hospital. 

The Crown says that because 

Nicholl snr was participating in 

street racing and encouraging

Shanan to drive dangerously by 

lurching forward in his own car, 

the jury can be sure he is guilty of 

the charges he faces. 

However, defence counsel Jessica 

Campbell told the jury he 

denies encouraging such behaviour 

and is not responsible for the 

crash. He was “open and honest” 

with police, and the jury can be 

satisfied he is not guilty 

of the charges.

Wealthiest iwi files $95.5m loss, 

reflects on last 25 years 

• By Will Trafford 

TWENTY-FIVE years after its 

$170 million settlement, Ngāi 

Tahu has witnessed a tenfold, or 

1000 per cent, increase in assets. 

Now recognised by a TDB 

Advisory report as New 

Zealand’s wealthiest iwi, its 

leadership acknowledges that the 

group is not completely shielded 

from the macroeconomic 

headwinds affecting the global 

economy and, by extension, 

Aotearoa. 

Despite its impressive growth, 

the group has filed a $95.5m loss 

this financial year, largely related 

to property write-downs in the 

real estate market but business 

has been tough overall according 

to the group. 

“I think we’ve done well, considering 

the challenges – we’ve 

had some natural disasters come 

in,” said chief executive Lisa Tumahai, 

underscoring the group’s 

resilience amidst 

adversity. 

Revenues 

climbed to 

$372.8m, buoyed 

by sectors like 

farming, seafood, 

tourism, 

Lisa 

Tumahai 

and property 

but so too did 

operating costs, 

which jumped to $128.1m, with 

borrowing costs at $18.5m. 

Paper losses at the country’s 

wealthiest iwi have seen them 

book a $100m loss on the 25th 

anniversary of settlement, 

mostly related to the country’s 

volatile property market. 

A $42.7m loss from property 

investment revaluations, led to a 

trading shortfall. 

“The cost of living, the rising 

cost of interests . . . Farming and 

forestry had been exposed to 

higher costs and falling export 

prices,” chair Mike Pohio said. 

“We see that house prices are 

down. That has slowed demand. 

And that has therefore slowed 

the number of properties or 

residential sections that our 

property division sells,” he 

added. 

Even as the group grapples 

with these challenges, Pohio 

identifies strengths in the group’s 

diversified portfolio. 

“Seafoods and tourism have 

had great years,” he stated. 

Property ventures like the 

Mānia industrial land in 

Dunedin and Te Pā Tāhuna in 

Queenstown have shown strong 

performance, with property 

assets contributing a $54.5m 

surplus despite setbacks like 

the costly water damage in the 

Uku development in Auckland’s 

Hobsonville. 

Tourism initiatives like 

Shotover Jet and the All Blacks 

Experience faced a decrease 

in surplus, yet demonstrated 

resilience, and farming yielded a 

$9.4m surplus. 

“Our bottom line showed a 

reduction in valuations,” Pohio 

remarked. 

“However, it’s at times like 

these, the tough conditions that 

we’ve faced, that we’d benefit 

from a diversity in our portfolio.” 

A sour note was also the tough 

decision to shutter the Mānuka 

honey business, Oha Honey, 

which had seen its production 

plummet to 244 tonnes from 

the previous year’s 491 tonnes, 

culminating in a substantial 

$35.9m operating loss. 

As Tumahai reflects on the 

25-year journey, she places

“For this year, we’re celebrating 

the last 25 years post-settlement. 

It’s crucial we look back on all 

the gems, the highlights that 

have happened over the last 25 

years and celebrate those,” she 

said. 

Proud of the organisation’s

is Te Kounga Paparangi, our

extremely proud.” 

Tumahai reflects on her 

tenure with the iwi: “I’ve had an 

absolute privilege to be involved 

with the iwi in the early stages 

. . . to see some of these really 

foundational things that will be 

there for the next 25 years.”

THE COURT of Appeal has 

ruled lawyers for the man 

convicted of murdering Ben

include extra expert evidence in 

his appeal next year.

young people

during New 

Year’s Eve

Scott 

Watson 

Scott Watson 

has long claimed 

his innocence 

and is set to 

launch his latest appeal in June. 

At a hearing last month, 

Crown lawyer Madeleine 

Laracy argued Watson’s legal 

team needed to explain why 

they should be allowed to 

include two new expert reports 

about hairs, thought to belong 

to Hope, found on a blanket on 

Watson’s yacht Blade. 

Watson’s lawyer Nick Chisnall 

argued the full hearing 

panel would be better placed to 

decide on their relevance. 

In a decision released on 

Monday, the Court of Appeal 

agreed. 

“It is, at this stage, extremely 

difficult to assess the cogency of 

(the) evidence. The panel which 

hears Mr Watson’s appeal will 

be in a far better position to 

assess what, if any, cogency 

attaches to the challenged 

evidence after it considers all 

other relevant evidence,” the 

decision says, noting Laracy 

had accepted the court would 

have difficulty ruling on 

admissibility without knowing 

what other evidence would be 

covered at the appeal. 

“ . . . The Crown’s application 

to exclude the evidence can 

be pursued at the appeal if 

necessary.”

A MAN charged with aggravated 

burglary has walked free partway 

through a trial, while the victim, 

who was allegedly hit in the 

head with a hammer during 

the burglary, was sent to jail for 

calling a lawyer a “f***wit”. 

Things got heated at a trial in 

the district court when burglary 

victim Hamish Lucas* began 

swearing while being questioned. 

They got even hotter during 

cross-examination when he was 

asked about the defendant, Marcus 

Bourne*, having slept with 

Lucas’ girlfriend. 

The self-employed father-ofthree 

responded by picking up 

a water jug and throwing water 

on Bourne before being forcibly 

removed back to the dock. 

“Usually, 

(that’s) the area 

that the defendant 

resides, not 

the complainant,” 

Judge Tom 

Gilbert said in a 

recently released 

decision describing 

how Lucas 

ended up being 

sent to prison for eight days for 

“serious” contempt of court. 

Judge Gilbert said he had never 

seen anything like what happened 

in his 25 years in criminal 

courts and in his seven years as 

a judge, while defence lawyer 

Allister Davis told NZME being 

called a f***wit was “just the 

job”. 

“He (Lucas) was getting a bit 

smart, and I had to ask him 

certain questions about his girlfriend 

playing ‘hide the sausage’ 

with my client. 

“That’s when he really lost his 

rag,” Davis said.

SERVICE 

Bourne was on trial earlier 

this year facing a charge of aggravated 

burglary in August 

2021. An initial trial was earlier 

abandoned when Lucas failed to 

show up. 

It was alleged Bourne and 

another unknown person went 

to Lucas’ house, apparently over 

a low-level drug exchange that 

went wrong. 

When Bourne and his associate 

arrived at Lucas’ house, there 

was talk about taking one of his 

vehicles. Lucas told them that 

would not be happening, and 

he was struck in the head with 

a hammer, allegedly by Bourne, 

while the other person smashed a 

window with the piece of wood. 

Bourne denied he was involved 

and said he’d been at home 

with his parents on the night in 

question. 

Judge Gilbert said in his recent 

decision that Lucas was using 

“unfortunate language” while 

giving evidence, but, given the 

stress of the situation, he was not 

overly concerned. 

Lucas was asked to calm down 

and give evidence without resorting 

to swearing. 

His volatility “ramped up” after 

the prosecution finished and 

Davis started questioning Lucas. 

Judge Gilbert activated the 

duress alarm to speed up his 

request for security officers in 

court. 

“That message was taking a 

wee while to be actioned, and I 

became sufficiently concerned 

that I activated the duress alarm 

to speed that along.” 

Lucas’ demeanour then “went 

up a gear” when the question 

about his girlfriend was raised. 

He was asked again to settle 

down, and when asked once 

more, he “arced up”. 

Lucas got up, left the witness 

box and advanced five or six 

metres towards where Bourne 

was seated in an aggressive and 

abusive fashion, threatening him. 

Court security and Corrections 

officers intervened in what 

appeared to be an imminent 

assault, but Lucas picked up 

the water jug and emptied it on 

Bourne. 

The jury retreated and Lucas 

was taken into custody while 

Judge Gilbert decided what to do 

with the charge and, secondly, 

what to do with Lucas. 

While in the cells, Lucas 

apologised for his outburst but

anger if the trial continued. 

Judge Gilbert exercised the 

jurisdiction available to him 

to dismiss the charge against 

Bourne. He said his decision 

was based on it being the second 

attempt at a trial but, more 

relevantly, because he thought 

there was little if any chance 

of the matter being able to get 

through to verdict because of 

Lucas’ volatility. 

“In a system that is so 

overstretched already, I am not 

prepared to allow this matter to 

continue.” 

In deciding an outcome at the 

subsequent contempt hearing 

for Lucas, Judge Gilbert set a 

starting point at five weeks in 

prison, reduced in recognition 

of Lucas’ apology, his genuine 

regret and the fact his outburst 

had led to the defendant walking 

free. 

Judge Gilbert said the decision 

wasn’t made lightly, but Lucas’ 

conduct had to be marked in a 

way that reflected the gravity of 

the situation.

Teen appeals fatal punch sentence 

• By Emily Moorhouse 

A TEENAGER who killed 

another teen by punching him 

in the head has appealed his 

three year jail sentence, arguing 

the punishment he received is 

“not a good fit” for the crime he 

committed. 

Armani Williams, 18, was 

jailed for three years after fatally 

punching 18-year-old Levi 

Haami at the Moorhouse Ave 

Countdown car park on December 

4, 2021. Williams was 16 at 

the time. 

Williams had been driving 

past Haami, who was urinating 

in the car park when Haami 

questioned Williams about looking 

at his private parts. 

Williams then approached 

Haami and delivered the fatal 

blow to the left side of his mouth, 

causing him to fall backwards 

and hit his head on the concrete. 

Haami suffered catastrophic 

brain injuries and died in 

Christchurch Hospital the next 

day. 

In May last year, Williams 

pleaded guilty to a charge of 

manslaughter, which had been 

downgraded from murder at the 

High Court in Christchurch. 

Williams appealed his sentence 

through his lawyer Ethan 

Huda, arguing the five-year 

starting point the judge adopted 

FATAL: Levi Haami died after being punched in the Moorhouse Ave Countdown carpark in 

December 2021. 

PHOTO: GEORGIA O’CONNOR-HARDING 

at his sentencing was too high 

and that his “youth and background 

merit higher reductions”. 

Huda referred to teen killer 

Mark Nagel, who was sentenced 

to two years imprisonment with 

the option to apply for home 

detention last month for killing 

61-year-old Anthony Kelly with 

a martial arts-style kick to his 

head in the central city. 

He said that in Nagel’s case it 

was a group attack against an 

elderly person, where the judge 

took a starting point of four-anda-half 

years imprisonment. 

In Williams’ case, however, the 

punch was delivered to a young 

man who was “not frail” and he 

received a starting point of five 

years imprisonment. 

“There’s a symmetry in these 

cases,” Huda said, pointing out 

the sentencing judge for Nagel 

arrived at that starting point by 

assessing a number of relevant 

cases. 

However, Crown prosecutor 

Kerry White said Williams 

accepted a sentence indication 

that stated a starting point of five 

years would be adopted. 

She said Williams approached 

Haami with a “high level of 

aggression” and anger before 

delivering a forceful blow to the 

left side of his mouth. 

While White accepted Williams 

had a difficult upbringing, 

This report was produced by Open 

Justice – Te Pātītī, a Public 

Interest Journalism initiative 

funded by NZ on Air 

she said there were periods when 

he was in the care of a family 

who loved and cared for him. 

Huda said his client was 16 at 

the time of the offence, was diagnosed 

with ADHD and had told 

a probation officer he “deserves 

to be locked up” for what he did. 

Huda said neurological 

development may not be 

complete until the age of 25 and 

said Williams received a 10 per 

cent discount for his youth when 

a discount of at least 15 per cent 

should have been available. 

“One young man looking at 

another young man urinating, 

it’s silly, it’s sad,” Huda said. 

Huda argued that a shorter 

term of imprisonment is 

warranted for his client due 

to his youth and background 

factors. 

Family and friends of Haami 

attended the hearing, wearing 

shirts with his face on. 

The panel of judges thanked 

Haami’s family and friends 

for attending court and 

acknowledged how difficult it 

is to sit through a hearing of 

this kind. They reserved their 

decision.

HINDSIGHT IS a wonderful 

thing. I’ve thought that a few 

times listening, watching and 

reading some of the media 

coverage of the coroner’s inquest 

into the 2019 mosque attacks. 

It’s obviously something that 

Mike Ardagh has thought too. 

If the name rings a bell – he’s a 

professor of emergency medicine 

at Otago University, Christchurch. 

He’s also a specialist in 

the emergency department at 

Christchurch Hospital. 

He’s been in the news a lot over 

the years. And he’s in the news 

again with some pretty strong 

comments about the inquest into 

the mosque shootings, which 

has been going for the last three 

weeks and is expected to go for 

another four weeks. 

In a nutshell, he’s saying that 

the way it’s being run is unfair 

and mean to the emergency responders 

who have been hauled 

in to give evidence. Those are the 

words he’s using to describe it – 

“unfair and mean”. 

He says ambulance and police 

staff are being treated as if 

they’re the ones on trial. Saying it 

appears to be all about winning 

arguments instead of finding 

facts. And, from what I’ve seen, I 

think he’s spot on. 

There was one line of questioning 

in particular that I couldn’t 

believe one of the lawyers representing 

the victims’ families 

asked. It was last week, when a 

member of the Armed Offenders 

Squad involved in the response 

that day was on the stand. 

Lawyer Kathryn Dalziel 

wanted to know why he stopped 

people outside the mosque from 

going in after the shootings, and 

he explained he didn’t know 

who they were and there was a 

risk that one of them could have 

been an offender. Or a ‘sleeper’, 

so someone pretending to be a 

member of the mosque community 

but actually being a terrorist 

themselves. 

And, as she told the court, 

these people were desperate to 

get inside and help. 

She then went on to say this. 

And this is the bit that staggered 

me. 

I’ll quote her directly. She said: 


“My clients, and this is really 

important to them, they want to 

know, would you have been so 

cautious about there being a possible 

sleeper if you had been talking 

to a group of white people?” 

The report I saw said the AOS 

member “appeared surprised by 

that question”, which is probably 

putting it mildly. But he 

responded as you would expect 

an AOS person to respond. He 

said: “I would have dealt with the 

situation the exact same way.” 

Which, of course, he would’ve. 

But this is what Mike Ardagh 

is getting at. He’s saying the 

whole approach seems to be 

about challenging the emergency 

responders. Prove to us that you 

didn’t cock-up. That’s why he 

thinks it is unfair and mean for 

the emergency responders giving 

evidence. 

You can imagine how gobsmacked 

the Armed Offenders 

guy would have been with that 

question. And, from the coverage 

I’ve seen, it does feel like the lawyers 

representing the victims and 

families are doing what lawyers 

normally do in criminal trials. 

They create murkiness. They create 

doubt. And we’ve seen plenty 

of that so far. 

As Ardagh says, the emergency 

responders being questioned 

and treated this way are good

people. They are not accused of 

any crimes. But it seems, doesn’t 

it – from the way they are being 

spoken to and questioned – that 

they are on trial. 

In some respects, the response 

that day itself is on trial. But how 

fair is it that individual people – 

who put their own lives on the 

line that day – are questioned 

and treated the way they are in 

such a public way? I think it is 

very unfair. 

Because, as Ardagh points out, 

many of these people are already 

significantly distressed by what 

they went through on that day. 

And he reckons what he calls a 

“more collaborative exploration” 

would not only be better for the 

responders in the dock, but it 

would probably get more useful 

information. 

And I’m with him 100 per 

cent. I think it is completely 

unfair that individual emergency 

responders are being asked to 

publicly defend suggestions that 

they were too slow, confused or 

biased in their decision-making.

Big money raised for Cox’s treatment 

• By Dave Di Somma 

THE KATIE Cox Appeal is 

now expected to be at about 

$300,000 after a massive last few 

days, including a Melbourne 

Cup fund-raising luncheon at 

Addington on Tuesday. 

The 33-year-old Leeston harness 

racing trainer and driver 

is battling a rare form of lung 

cancer, with a trust fund set up 

to help pay for expensive medication. 

She recently started her 

first round of treatment. 

Trust founder Craig Wiggins 

told the 200 people at Tuesday’s 

luncheon the total was already 

at $195,000, after a number of 

sizeable donations, including 

$25,000 from Entain, $10,000 

from TAB NZ and $5000 from 

Harness Racing New Zealand. 

On top of that the luncheon 

then raised close to $100,000. 

Money was raised from the 

luncheon itself ($1200 for a table 

of 10) as well as an auction featuring 

about 50 items that had 

been generously donated. 

Cox was at the luncheon 

which was also attended by 

a who’s who of Canterbury 

harness racing, including high 

profile trainers, breeders, owners 

and drivers. 

It had been organised at short 

notice by racing presenter Greg 

O’Connor who MC’d the afternoon 

and was involved in some 

spirited banter with auctioneerfor-the-day 

(and former junior 

driver) Stevie Golding. 

The highest bid was $8500 

forked out for a trans-Tasman 

horse flight with IRT, while a 

service fee to multiple Group 1 

winner King Of Swing sold for 

$6000. 

A trip for two to the world’s 

richest harness race, the Eureka 

in Sydney, fetched $4300, while 

a 10 per cent lifetime share in 

Levi (courtesy of Tim Vince) 

raised $4000. Levi, a What 

The Hill two-year-old, has had 

one placing from three starts 

and will race again as early as 

tomorrow night. 

A full driving set by 10-time 

Kiwi champion and now USAbased 

Dexter Dunn was also 

offered up. It went for $1100. 

The final tally from the 

auction and luncheon isn’t 

known yet but it will be “close 

to six figures”, according to 

O’Connor. 

“It was a great vibe and 

everyone has been extremely 

generous – it was a very 

successful day.”

Defending champs chances at 

making semi finals hurt by rain 

FORMIDABLE: A strong Elmwood team, including Louise 

Oxnevad, take on defending champs Te Kura Hagley, who 

need to win to secure a place in the play-offs. 

• By Diane Keenan 

DEFENDING champions Te 

Kura Hagley face the possibility 

of not making the semi-finals 

of Premier interclub women’s 

tennis due adverse weather 

restricting this season’s 

competition to one match to 

date. 

The final round-robin games 

in the men’s and women’s 

competitions will be played 

this weekend, with semi-finals 

scheduled for November 25 and 

finals on December 2. 

The weather has proved 

frustrating, particularly for 

the women, whose games last 

Friday night were again rained 

off, making it three out of four 

round-robin matches cancelled. 

“We were looking forward to 

the new competition format, but 

it doesn’t make much sense in 

having playoffs based on only 

two rounds of play,” Te Kura 

Hagley’s Michelle North-Kelsen 

said. 

“However, it is what it is and 

we are playing because we enjoy 

our tennis.” 

Te Kura Hagley needs to win 

on Saturday against what North- 

Kelsen describes as a formidable 

Elmwood team to secure a place 

in the play-offs. In the only competition 

round played to date, 

Te Kura Hagley was upset by 

Bishopdale with Adele Aorangi 

the defending champion’s only 

player to secure a win. 

“Some of us haven’t been playing 

a lot in the off-season and it 

certainly showed that the young 

players in the Bishopdale team 

had been hitting a lot more balls 

than us. They played really well 

and thoroughly deserved their 

win,” North-Kelsen said. 

Elmwood’s line-up includes 

Abby Mason, along with Louise 

Oxnevad and Tessa McCann, 

who are both playing the Caro 

Bowl competition in Auckland 

on Friday nights and flying back 

to Christchurch for Saturday 

interclub. 

Waimairi and Bishopdale lead 

the women’s competition by one 

point and they will play each 

other at Waimairi, while Cashmere 

and Shirley, both needing 

a win to secure their semi-final 

spot, play at Cashmere. 

Tennis Canterbury’s Bevan 

Johns said fine weather last Saturday 

allowed for results in two 

of the three men’s competition 

match-ups, while Bishopdale 

and Burnside Park shared points 

after not completing their match. 

The top four men’s teams are 

Elmwood, Cashmere, Burnside 

Park and Bishopdale. 

Elmwood scored maximum 

points in its win over Edgeware 

Waimairi last weekend, while 

Cashmere was equally convincing 

against Te Kura Hagley. 

This week’s men’s competition 

is on Friday night, with competition 

leaders Elmwood taking on 

the talented Burnside Park team 

at Elmwood. 

The home team’s ranks were 

boosted last week with the inclusion 

of James Watt who played 

top singles. Watt, standing at 

208cm, hits the ball hard, moves 

well and has great hands, Johns 

said. 

He and his brother, Ryan, who 

plays in the club’s division one 

team, have a long association 

with the Elmwood club. 

Watt, who is unbeaten in both 

singles and doubles for his Caro 

Bowl competition leading Next 

Generation team, has returned 

to his Melbourne base to train 

and compete in money tournaments. 

He has now qualified 

to represent Elmwood in the 

playoffs. Even without Watt this 

weekend, Elmwood has a strong 

pool of players including Elliott 

and Lawrence Darling, Jamie 

Garbett, Jack Tiller and Benji 

McGillivray to call on. 

Burnside Park has fielded Finn 

Emslie-Robson, Jordan Edwards, 

Emilio Gonzaga and Ricky 

Kotepong as its singles players in 

both of its matches, bringing in 

club coach Remi Feneon for the 

doubles. 

Cashmere also used its top 

player, James Meredith, to play 

doubles in its win last weekend 

against Te Kura Hagley. His 

older brother Tim has been 

filling Cashmere’s top singles 

role with James playing Caro 

Bowl for Cockle Bay where he is 

unbeaten in singles. 

This week Cashmere will take 

on Edgeware Waimairi who have 

a strong top singles duo of Paddy 

Ou (Otago) and Nick Jenkins. 

Te Kura Hagley this week plays 

Bishopdale at Bishopdale.

Robertson’s All Blacks: What 

will the team look like now? 

The All Blacks are 

gearing up for a 

transformative chapter 

under new coach 

Scott Robertson. Luke 

Kirkness looks at what 

might lie ahead and 

what the AB’s might 

look like 

ROBERTSON’S coaching style 

is far different to Ian Foster, 

characterised by his visionary 

mindset, in which campaign 

themes and imagery play a 

prominent role. Unlike Foster, 

Razor will embrace new-age 

coaching methods and challenge 

the status quo. His desire 

to be himself and connect 

with younger generations 

sets him apart from more 

conservative elements in rugby 

administration. 

Robertson’s coaching philosophy 

is expected to be a blend of 

traditional rugby values with 

a sense of freedom and lack of 

inhibition. He aims to make the 

All Blacks a team that speaks to 

younger generations both figuratively 

and literally. 

As he steps into his role, 

Robertson brings with him a 

seasoned coaching team of Jason 

Ryan, Leon MacDonald, Jason 

Holland, and Scott Hansen. 

While Robertson has been tightlipped 

about his game plan, he 

has acknowledged the need for a 

different approach in test rugby 

compared to Super Rugby but 

what will his side look like? 

Scott Robertson’s (possible) 

starting All Blacks line-up 

Fullback: Will Jordan 

All Blacks fans will finally 

see Will Jordan unleashed from 

fullback next year, with Beauden 

Barrett joining Japanese club 

Toyota Verblitz. Whenever Jordan 

is on the field, he can’t stay 

out of the action and things just 

seem to happen. He has the x-factor 

and that’s been shown on full 

display at the World Cup, where 

he was the leading try-scorer. 

Reserve: Stephen Perofeta. 

Honourable mentions: Zarn Sullivan, 

Sam Gilbert. 

Wingers: Mark Tele’a and 

Shaun Stevenson 

Mark Tele’a has been one of the 

form wingers in New Zealand 

over the past two years and 

Shaun Stevenson is knocking 

on the door. His ability to run 

through defenders – not just 

around them – is Ben Smith-like. 

The man with uncanny footwork 

has also developed a skilful kicking 

game and is a safe pair of 

hands under the high ball. 

Stevenson, meanwhile, can 

play on either wing and covers 

fullback too. He had a breakout 

year for the Chiefs and despite 

being chased by NRL coach 

Wayne Bennett, decided to stay 

in New Zealand. 

Honourable mentions: Emoni 

Narawa, Caleb Clarke, Sevu 

Reece. 

Midfield: Rieko Ioane, Jordie 

Barrett 

Jordie Barrett can seemingly 

play anywhere in the backline – 

possibly to the detriment of his 

desire to play in the midfield. 

But he’s forming a powerful connection 

alongside Rieko Ioane. 

Barrett has a phenomenal skillset 

and is renowned for his longrange 

kicking ability and skills 

under the high ball. He’s quick 

and strong too, useful in both 

attack and defence. 

Ioane is a fan favourite and 

for good reason. The speedster’s 

exhilarating pace and strength 

caught the attention of the All 

Blacks selectors in 2016, and he 

was selected for the Northern 

Tour in November. Ioane hasn’t 

looked back since and has been 

one of the first selections for the 

All Blacks since his debut. In that 

time, he has proved to be a tryscoring 

machine. 

Reserve: Braydon Ennor. Honourable 

mentions: Levi Aumua, 

David Havili, Anton Lienert- 

Brown, Quinn Tupaea. 

First five-eighths: Damian 

McKenzie 

Arguably the best player 

in Super Rugby Pacific 2023, 

Damian McKenzie struggled 

to get game time at the World 

Cup behind Richie Mo’unga and 

Beauden Barrett. With both stars 

leaving New Zealand’s shores, 

the firecracker McKenzie has the 

chance to make the No 10 jersey 

his own. The silky McKenzie is 

great with ball in hand and has 

electric footwork that sees him 

frequently duck and weave away 

from defenders. 

A concern for Robertson 

though will be that for the first 

time in a long time, first fiveeighths 

is a position in which 

New Zealand doesn’t have a lot 

of depth. 

Honourable mentions: Josh 

Ioane, Fergus Burke, Ruben Love. 

Halfback: Cam Roigard 

Irrepressible halfback Cam 

Roigard played his way into the 

World Cup squad through an 

impressive 2023 Super Rugby 

Pacific campaign. Roigard was a 

revelation for the Hurricanes this 

season after earning selection in 

the All Blacks XV last November. 

The 22-year-old is a constant 

threat with the ball in hand, as 

showcased during the pool stages 

of the World Cup. He should get 

the start over Finlay Christie. 

Reserve: Finlay Christie. 

Honourable mentions: Folau 

Fakatava, T.J. Perenara. 

No 8: Ardie Savea (captain) 

Undeniably the best player in 

the world, Ardie Savea should be 

the first name on the team sheet. 

Don’t be surprised if Robertson 

opts to make Savea his captain. 

But what may cause concern for 

Robertson’s first squad is that the 

Hurricanes loose forward is soon 

heading to Japan – he returns 

to New Zealand in June 2024. 

The dynamic powerhouse has 

continued to go from strength 

to strength since making his All 

Blacks debut against Wales in 

2016. His combination of tremendous 

speed, athleticism and an 

ability to stay alive in the tackle 

is second to none and he always 

leads from the front. 

Honourable mentions: Cullen 

Grace, Hoskins Sotutu, Akira 

Ioane.

COACH: Scott Robertson, known as Razor, took the reins 

last week. 

PHOTO: GETTY 

Openside flanker: Sam Cane 

Sam Cane has faced the nearimpossible 

task of following the 

greatest player ever, Richie Mc- 

Caw, first as the All Blacks openside 

flanker and later as captain. 

That job only got harder after he 

became the first man to be redcarded 

in a World Cup final on 

Sunday. Still, the current skipper 

tackles like no other. Cane’s defensive 

crunch and his strength 

at the collision point are second 

to none, coupled with his ability 

as a clean-out operator that puts 

fear into the opposition. 

Those who criticise Cane may 

have forgotten how devastating 

he was against Ireland in the 

quarter-finals. 

Reserve: Dalton Papali’i. 

Honourable mentions: Du’Plessis 

Kirifi, Billy Harmon, Tom Christie. 

Blindside flanker: Ethan 

Blackadder 

Brought into the World Cup 

squad as an injury replacement 

for Emoni Narawa, Ethan Blackadder 

will be the frontrunner 

to become Shannon Frizell’s 

replacement at blindside flanker. 

Frizell, who heads to Japan, had 

a physically epic 2023 season, 

something Blackadder could 

match. The Crusaders loosie goes 

from 0 to 100 as soon as the kickoff 

drops and plays the game all 

gas, no brakes. That style of play 

does come with its drawbacks, as 

Blackadder is prone to conceding 

the odd penalty or three, but it’s 

a fair price to pay for the good he 

brings to a team. 

Honourable mentions: Luke 

Jacobson, Samipeni Finau. 

Locks: Scott Barrett, Tupou 

Vaa’i 

Discipline has, at times, been 

an area of weakness for Scott 

Barrett, though he generally 

makes up for that through the 

rest of his play. Equally as 

comfortable at lock or blindside 

flanker, Barrett brings physicality 

every time he steps onto the 

pitch. He’s added to his rugby 

resume with captaincy at Super 

level, which has only lifted his 

overall game. 

Tupou Vaa’i is the latest in a 

string of formidable locks for 

the All Blacks. Vaa’i has filled in 

superbly when his number has 

been called. 

Reserve: Josh Lord. Honourable 

mentions: Pari Pari Parkinson, 

Quinten Strange. 

Props: Tyrel Lomax, Ethan de 

Groot 

Tyrel Lomax and Ethan de 

Groot are the latest in a long 

line of impressive New Zealand 

props. 

Raised in the deep south, 

loosehead de Groot is massive 

at 1.90m and 122kg and puts his 

size to good use at scrum time 

and in attack. 

Lomax, son of former Kiwis 

international John, grew up 

playing league in Wellington but 

switched to rugby when his family 

returned to Canberra. A good 

scrummager, and active in open 

play where he is always looking 

for the tackle and trying to get 

stuck into the ruck, he is a strong 

talent. 

Reserves: Tamaiti Williams, 

Fletcher Newell. Honourable 

mentions: Joe Moody, Ofa 

Tu’ungafasi, Aidan Ross. 

Hooker: Codie Taylor 

Codie Taylor is equipped with 

a strong and swift running game, 

deft passing ability, a high IQ for 

the game, strong defence and a 

terrific engine. He will be one of 

Robertson’s leaders. 

A powerful scrummager and 

surprisingly quick runner, Taylor 

has worked his way back into 

favour with the All Blacks selectors 

after a rocky series against 

Ireland in 2022 that saw him 

dropped, and had a strong World 

Cup. 

Reserves: Samisoni Taukei’aho. 

Honourable mentions: Asafo 

Aumua, George Bell.

May ‘speechless’ after big win 

SEBASTIAN MAY stormed 

home to win the biggest 

title of his young career – 

the New Zealand Amateur 

Championship. 

The 17-year-old Clearwater 

player beat Auckland’s Steven 

Van Heerden 6&5 in the 36-hole 

final at Hamilton Golf Club – St 

Andrews Course, to write his 

name next to Danny Lee, Stuart 

Jones, Walter Godfrey, and Brian 

Silk, who all won at the venue. 

After making golf his primary 

focus earlier this year, May 

struggled to comprehend he had 

won the amateur championship 

and has written his name alongside 

some New Zealand golfing 

legends. 

“I’m pretty speechless. It’s 

pretty unreal – I don’t think it’s 

sunk in just yet,” he said after his 

victory. 

The St Andrew’s College 

student beat Glenn Solomann, 

Dominic Brettkelly, Harry 

Goakes and Tom Lee to get to 

the final. The final started off as 

a close affair with both players 

trading 1up leads, which was the

insurmountable lead. He quickly 

found himself dormie 6, and 

calmly rolled in a 15-foot putt to

With school exams just around

a couple of weeks ago whether 

he was going to play this event. 

He certainly didn’t anticipate

Said event organiser and

demand for spots that we have

DIABETES AWARENESS 

Diabetes Christchurch - Supporting 

The Diabetes Christchurch Society’s theme for World Diabetes Month, November 

2023 is “Education to Protect Tomorrow” and “Access to Diabetes Care”. 

Now 101 years after the discovery of insulin, millions of people with diabetes 

around the world struggle to access the care they need. People with diabetes 

require ongoing care, diabetes education and support to manage their 

complicated condition and avoid complications. 

Just over 26,000 people have diagnosed diabetes in Canterbury. 

Diabetes Matters 

This campaign is to promote the 

importance of affordable and equitable 

access for all people living with diabetes 

and people at risk of getting type 2 

or gestational diabetes to be able to 

access essential diabetes medicines and 

technologies, self-management education 

and information they require to achieve 

optimal diabetes outcomes and to 

strengthen their capacity to prevent type 2 

diabetes. 

Fundamental Components of 

Diabetes Care include: 

• Access to Diabetes Medicines: Many 

people with diabetes need access to a 

range of suitable medicines to manage 

their condition well. These still remain 

unavailable or unaffordable in many 

countries. 

• Access to Self-Monitoring: Blood 

glucose monitoring is a fundamental 

component of diabetes care. Many 

people with diabetes do not have access 

to the equipment and supplies they need 

including Blood Glucose Testing Monitors, 

Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) and 

Insulin Pumps at an affordable cost. 

• Access to Education and Psychological 

support: People living with diabetes need 

ongoing diabetes education and mental 

support to manage their condition well. 

• Access to Healthy Food and a Safe 

Place to Exercise: People living with or 

at risk of diabetes need access to healthy 

food and a place to exercise. Both are 

fundamental components of diabetes care 

and prevention. 

What is Diabetes 

Diabetes is the result of the body not 

creating enough insulin to keep blood 

glucose (sugar) levels in the normal range 

(between 4 and 8). Everyone needs some 

glucose in their blood, but if it’s too high it 

can damage your body over time. 

The two most common types of diabetes 

are type 1 and type 2. 

Type 1 Diabetes is an ‘auto-immune’ 

condition where the body attacks the 

insulin producing cells in the pancreas. 

Insulin must therefore be delivered several 

times daily by injection or insulin pump. 

There is no known cause and no cure to 

date. 

In Type 2 Diabetes your body makes 

insulin but it isn’t used efficiently. This 

is also called insulin resistance. As the 

condition progresses, a lack of insulin may 

also develop. The most common cause 

is excessive body weight and not enough

meter or, visit www.doable.co.nz 

exercise. For many people (but not all) type 

2 diabetes may be prevented by making 

healthy food choices and staying active. 

Diabetes that happens during pregnancy 

is called Gestational Diabetes and while it 

usually disappears following the pregnancy, 

it may lead to Type 2 diabetes later in life. 

Symptoms of Diabetes 

may include: 

• Thirst 

• Passing more urine 

• Weight loss 

• Very tired 

• Mood changes 

Type 1 symptoms may 

also have: 

• Abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting 

• Skin infections, thrush 

• Extreme hunger 

• Poor concentration and performance 

Diagnosis and Treatment 

Diabetes is diagnosed by blood tests 

which can be organised through your 

doctor. If you are very unwell you should 

seek medical assistance immediately. If 

you have type 1 diabetes, you will need 

to manage your blood glucose levels 

with insulin. Healthy eating and physical 

activity will also help you stay well. 

With type 2 you may start with some

modifications to your diet and increase 

exercise levels, treatment may also include 

some oral medications, and some people 

may also be placed on insulin as well. 

Does It Run in Families? 

If you have a blood relative with diabetes 

you are more likely to develop type 1 

diabetes. However Type 1 diabetes often 

occurs in people who have no one in their 

family with the condition. 

Is there any cure for type 1 diabetes? 

Currently there is no cure for type 1 

diabetes. There is a lot of research going 

on in the field of finding a cure for Type 1 

diabetes. 

Founded in 1956 Diabetes 

Christchurch is a support 

organisation for people living 

in the Canterbury region who 

have diabetes and for their 

family, whanau and friends.

recipes and medical devices, as well as 

involvement with local, national and 

international diabetes research. 

Our Diabetes Christchurch membership 

offers you contact with other people

activities with our age-related support 

groups and discounted diabetes related 

shop products. Our friendly staff can

Education to Protect Tomorrow 

Our government needs to substantially 

increase investment in diabetes care and 

prevention. The rising number of people 

affected by diabetes is putting added strain 

on our healthcare systems. Healthcare 

professionals must know how to detect 

and diagnose the condition early and 

provide the best possible care; while 

people living with diabetes need access 

to ongoing education to understand their 

condition and carry out the daily self-care 

essential to staying healthy and avoiding 

complications. 

Education to Protect Tomorrow 

is the theme of the third year of the 

International Diabetes Federation World 

Diabetes 2021-23 campaign. Activities 

will focus on highlighting the need for 

better access to quality and relevant 

diabetes education from diabetes health 

professionals, diabetes societies’ and likeminded 

health organisations for all people 

living with diabetes. 

Fundraising for most charities is 

ongoing and hard work. We are extremely 

grateful to our dedicated members 

that have joined and given support and 

donations over many years. Including 

our advertisers in this feature and the 

wonderful Foundations and Trusts that 

continue to provide funding to our local 

diabetes society. Thank you all. 

If YOU have an idea or would like to 

organise a local special event as a diabetes 

fundraiser for our society we can provide 

information brochures and promotional 

resources to help you with YOUR

‘It gave me a sense of hope’ 

Care package 

boosts mums 

with sick 

babies 

Thursday, November 9, 2023 

Christchurch’s best read and largest circulating newspaper 

the gift that gave her hope. 

Soon after her newborn son 

Callum was admitted to the 

neonatal intensive car unit in 

June last year, Naude received a 

care package from charity One 

Mother to Another. 

“I was pregnant with my first 

baby and everything was fine 

as far as I knew, then all of a 

“There was a lot of grieving 

. a lot of unknowns and a lot 

of worry . riding those ups 

and downs was really difficult. 

“I honestly felt like we were 

never going to leave the neonatal 

unit and I get emotional just 

Naude said the One 

Mother to Another care 

package was the ‘sense 

of hope’ she needed 18 

months ago when her son 

Callum was in intensive 

care. 

it was really hard to remain 

hopeful.” 

A few days after Callum was 

born prematurely, Naude was 

gifted the package. 

Said Naude: “It was just so 

impactful . When you’re in 

this sterile hospital environment 

where everything is new 

and unfamiliar and foreign to 

you, it was a touch of warmth 

and compassion. 

“The pack really gave me 

a sense of hope . it just reminded 

me that actually, you 

can do this – you’re strong and 

capable,” she said. 

Naude is now on the One 

Mother to Another volunteer 

team, which has started a 

crowdfunding Givealittle 

campaign in support of other 

mothers and carers who are in 

period. 

The campaign 

will run until 

November 17, 

with the aim of 

raising $7500 to 

fund 300 care 

packages. 

“Just knowing 

there are other 

Joy Reid 

backing you and rooting for 

you and cheering for you is so 

special,” said Naude. 

Said the charity’s co-founder 

and chief executive, Joy Reid: 

“While we all wish for health 

and happiness for our loved 

ones at Christmas, unfortunately 

for some, who will be 

“We wan them to know they 

are not alone.” 

One Mother to Another 

also started providing ‘Dad’s 

care packages in September to 

“recognise the father figures”, 

Reid said.
