WHAT ABOUT OUR<br />
FREE CONCERT DAVE!<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
IN 2015, Foo Fighters lead<br />
singer Dave Grohl made a<br />
pledge to the 27,000 strong<br />
crowd at AMI Stadium: <strong>The</strong><br />
next time they played in<br />
Christchurch it would be for<br />
free.<br />
Grohl had looked around the<br />
city during his stay and was<br />
staggered by the damage the<br />
February 2011 earthquake had<br />
caused.<br />
“If you motherf**ckers sing<br />
as loud as you can, I promise,<br />
you have my word, that the Foo<br />
Fighters will come back. We’ll<br />
find some nice big space outside<br />
somewhere. Next time we come<br />
back, we’ll play a free f**cking<br />
show for y’all,” he said.<br />
Grohl added: “It might be<br />
2027, but I’m saying next time<br />
it’s on me.”<br />

Apollo Projects Stadium, in<br />
January.<br />

Mosque<br />
inquest:<br />
Survivors<br />
needed<br />
surgeons<br />
• By Danielle Clent<br />
AN AMBULANCE officer broke<br />
down in tears describing trying<br />
to treat worshippers who needed<br />
surgeons, not paramedics, after<br />
being shot in the terror attack at<br />
the Al Noor Mosque.<br />
Craig Stockdale was one of the<br />
first St John ambulance officers<br />
at the mosque after the mass<br />
shooting on March 15, 2019.<br />
He became emotional<br />
answering questions at the<br />
coronial inquest yesterday about<br />
potentially life-saving treatments<br />
for injured people in the Deans<br />
Ave mosque, saying they would<br />
not be carried out in a mass<br />
casualty situation because of the<br />
skill and time involved.<br />
“In my heart, I knew, what<br />
these people needed was a<br />
surgeon, not a paramedic on the<br />
periphery trying to help them,”<br />
he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y needed a hospital and we<br />
as a group, we knew that and that<br />
was our sole aim.”<br />
Stockdale said the mosque’s<br />
hallway was “littered” with<br />
bodies and paramedics had to<br />
step over people to help those<br />
who had survived.<br />

THE DRIVER of a car which ploughed<br />
through a pole and a barrier at the<br />
Halswell shopping area miraculously<br />
escaped serious injury.<br />
<strong>The</strong> vehicle lost control on Halswell<br />
Rd and came to a halt on a grassed area.<br />
Parts of the vehicle were scattered. <strong>The</strong><br />
driver fled the scene.<br />
A police spokesperson said a patrol saw<br />
a vehicle speeding and driving dangerously<br />
on Halswell Rd about 3.15am on<br />
Friday, but it was not pursued because of<br />
the manner of driving.<br />
Police have now identified a person of<br />
interest and inquiries are ongoing, the<br />
spokesperson said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> car was not stolen.<br />

Speeding driver crashes; flees scene<br />
• From page 1<br />
<strong>The</strong> Coroners Court earlier<br />
heard a senior policeman, who<br />
was watching a delayed feed<br />
of the terrorist’s livestream<br />
of the massacre, relayed the<br />
information in error in a<br />
panicked transmission over<br />
police radio.<br />
For a few minutes, police and<br />
paramedics at the scene thought<br />
the terrorist was returning to the<br />
mosque, but they soon realised it<br />
was a mistake.<br />
It was one of the times where<br />
Stockdale felt the security situation<br />
at the scene changed.<br />
Stockdale told the court police<br />
at the scene did not tell him the<br />
information was incorrect, which<br />
was “unsettling”.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was no debrief about<br />
the situation and they all “just<br />
ploughed on”.<br />
Just minutes later at 2.15pm,<br />
the first two St John paramedics<br />
entered the mosque with an<br />
armed police escort to assess the<br />
situation.<br />
Soon after, injured survivors<br />
began being taken from the<br />
mosque, but Stockdale said he<br />
“absolutely” still believed the<br />
gunman might come back.<br />
He said if he had been told it<br />
was a false alarm, it may have<br />
reduced his concern.<br />
<strong>The</strong> inquest will examine<br />
the following 10 issues over six<br />
weeks:<br />
• Events of March 15, 2019<br />
from the commencement of the<br />
attack until the terrorist’s formal<br />
interview by police<br />
• Response times and entry<br />
processes of police and ambulance<br />
officers at each mosque<br />
• Triage and medical response<br />
at each mosque<br />
• <strong>The</strong> steps that were taken to<br />
apprehend the offender<br />
• <strong>The</strong> role of, and processes<br />
undertaken by, Christchurch<br />
Hospital in responding to the<br />
attack<br />
• Co-ordination between<br />
emergency services and first<br />
responders<br />
• Whether the terrorist had any<br />
direct assistance from any other<br />
person on March 15, 2019<br />
• If raised by immediate family,<br />

Meth<br />
found<br />
in dog,<br />
trainer<br />
banned<br />
CANTERBURY greyhound<br />
trainer John McInerney has been<br />
banned for a year after one of his<br />
racing dogs tested positive for<br />
methamphetamine and another<br />
was mistreated.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Racing Integrity Board disqualified<br />
McInerney (above) from<br />
holding a greyhound training<br />
licence for 12 months for failing<br />
to produce a methamphetaminefree<br />
greyhound. He was also<br />
given a six-month concurrent<br />
ban for failing to comply with<br />
Greyhound Racing New Zealand<br />
health and welfare standards.<br />
He was ordered to pay $6026 to<br />
the RIB and $2500 to the adjudicative<br />
committee.<br />
But the ban will be academic –<br />
whilst he is still a licence holder<br />
Darfield-based McInerney<br />
effectively retired at the start<br />
of the racing season in August,<br />
handing over his dogs to son<br />
Jason to train.<br />
<strong>The</strong> hearing into McInerney<br />
heard his dog Alpha Riley was<br />
found to have methamphetamine<br />
in its system after routine drug<br />
testing.<br />
Investigators also say another<br />
dog, Impressive Isla, was found<br />
in “clear and visible pain and<br />
distress” in October last year.<br />
McInerney was also investigated<br />
last year after handing 11<br />
greyhounds over to a rehoming<br />
kennel, eight of whom presented<br />
with severe signs of neglect and<br />
mistreatment.<br />
He has previously been<br />
prosecuted and fined after<br />
five of his dogs suffocated to<br />
death inside a van on a Cook<br />
Strait crossing. He also has a<br />
long history of his dogs testing<br />
positive for banned substances,<br />
with incidents in 1997, 2001,<br />
2010, 2013, 2017, and <strong>2023</strong>.<br />

Concert promise<br />
‘got overlooked’<br />
• From page 1<br />
People who were at the 2015<br />
concert are questioning why the<br />
2024 event isn’t free.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> asked Grohl and the<br />
band’s management why they<br />
weren’t backing up on the pledge<br />
through New Zealand tour<br />
promoter Frontier Touring last<br />
week.<br />
Frontier Touring communications<br />
director Maria Robinson<br />
said yesterday she still had<br />
not received a response from<br />
Grohl or Foo Fighters management.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Christchurch concert<br />
is one of the nine shows in<br />
Australia and New Zealand<br />
starting in Perth on <strong>November</strong><br />
29, following the release of<br />
the American rock band’s<br />
eleventh studio album But Here<br />
We Are.<br />
As part of their 2018 world<br />
tour, the Foo Fighters played<br />
their only New Zealand show in<br />
Auckland.<br />
But before the tour started, the<br />
band’s bassist Nate Mendel told<br />
Stuff the lack of a Christchurch<br />
concert was an oversight. He<br />
also made reference to Grohl’s<br />
promise of a free concert.<br />
“That promise got overlooked<br />
this time,” Mendel said then.<br />

Grey Power concerns<br />
over cashless buses<br />
• By David Hill<br />
THE PROSPECT of cashless<br />
buses will cause anxiety for<br />
older residents, Grey Power’s Jan<br />
Pentecost says.<br />
She was reacting to<br />
Environment Canterbury’s<br />
decision to move to cashless<br />
buses next year, in the interests<br />
of staff safety.<br />
Passengers on the Greater<br />
Christchurch Metro Network<br />
will be unable to pay by cash<br />
from the second half of 2024, as<br />
part of the implementation of<br />
the National Ticketing Solution<br />
(NTS).<br />
“Many older people have used<br />
cash all their lives,’’ Pentecost<br />
said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re are a group of our<br />
older people who go down to<br />
the ATM on pension day and<br />
withdraw most of their money<br />
and pay for everything by cash,<br />
because that is what they have<br />
always done.<br />
“When they are 80-odd, they<br />
get really anxious about all these<br />
changes.’’<br />
Over-65s can use their gold<br />
card to ride for free from 9am<br />
on weekdays and all weekend<br />
and public holidays, so many do<br />
not have a Metro card,<br />
Pentecost said.<br />
ECan customer service and<br />
public transport marketing<br />
manager Thomas McNaughton<br />
said Metro operators had<br />
advocated removing cash from<br />
buses and ferries for some time.<br />
“Over the last 18 months,<br />
staff have worked closely with<br />
operators and other partners to<br />
improve network safety for both<br />
staff and customers.<br />
“This has been in response<br />
to an increase in incidents and<br />
complaints around safety.’’<br />
He said about 12 percent of<br />
passenger trips were paid for by<br />
cash.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new NTS will provide<br />
payment options such as debit/<br />
credit card, a pre-paid card, or<br />
smart devices – but not cash.<br />
Patrons will be able to top-up<br />
pre-paid cards at service centres<br />
and online.<br />
Pentecost said overseas<br />
research has shown there will<br />
always be a group of people<br />
unable to use technology,<br />
whether due to cost or being<br />
unable to learn.<br />
“As we move to a cashless<br />
society and digital inclusion,<br />
it feels like old people don’t<br />
matter.’’<br />

WORK IS about to start on the<br />
contentious 10km/h speed limit<br />
changes on Gloucester St.<br />
From Monday, contractors<br />
will be installing speed cushions,<br />
planters, seating and other street<br />
furniture in the section between<br />
Colombo St and Manchester St.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council says the work<br />
is designed to make Gloucester St<br />
more people-friendly.<br />
Ninety per cent of the cost is<br />
being funded through Waka<br />
Kotahi’s Streets for People<br />
programme, aimed at making<br />
low-cost and rapid changes<br />
to streets ahead of permanent<br />
upgrades.<br />
<strong>The</strong> site was chosen because<br />
Gloucester St is home to the<br />
Performing Arts precinct and<br />
connects to New Regent St,<br />
as well as Tūranga, Te Pae<br />
Christchurch Convention Centre,<br />
Cathedral Square, and will also<br />
become home to the new Court<br />
<strong>The</strong>atre when it opens in May<br />
next year.<br />
City council transport<br />
planning and delivery manager<br />
Jacob Bradbury said the trial will<br />
help the city council understand<br />
how the changes will affect the<br />
area before any permanent work<br />
is considered.<br />
“We are very keen to hear what<br />
people think about the changes<br />
once they’re installed so we’re<br />
really encouraging feedback<br />
during the trial,” he said.<br />
“We’ll also be actively<br />

Man arrested following<br />
kindergarten burglaries<br />
A MAN has been arrested in<br />
relation to a series of burglaries<br />
targeting kindergartens and<br />
early childhood centres across<br />
the city.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 34-year-old man faces<br />
nine charges of burglary by<br />
night.<br />
He is due to appear in the<br />
district court next Thursday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> alleged incidents span<br />
from late September to this<br />
month. During this time, police<br />
received a number of reports<br />
of stolen planter boxes, worm<br />
farms and gardening equipment.<br />
“Inquiries are continuing, but<br />
police want to thank the people<br />
who have provided information<br />
that allowed our investigations<br />
to progress,” a police spokesperson<br />
said.<br />
It comes after a Givealittle<br />
page was set up for the Sydenham<br />
Community Preschool after<br />
it was the target of a burglary in<br />
early October.<br />
Parent Jon Sharpe set up the<br />
fundraiser to replace the stolen<br />
items.<br />
Sports equipment, gardening<br />
supplies, maintenance tools and<br />
educational resources were reported<br />
stolen from the preschool<br />
on October 7 and 8.<br />
Said Sharpe: “This is a huge<br />

TARGET: Sydenham Community Preschool’s shed was<br />
broken into in October and a lawn mower, water blaster<br />
and seedlings stolen.<br />
setback for a not-for-profit<br />
preschool with limited financial<br />
resources.<br />
“Community preschools have<br />
to work extra hard to stay afloat<br />
and rely on grants to be able to<br />
provide children with equipment<br />
and resources for learning.”<br />
Sharpe said there were several<br />
preschools hit over the same<br />
weekend, including Woolston<br />
Preschool.<br />
“Unfortunately, the police<br />
resources are stretched too thin<br />
and they weren’t able to investigate,<br />
which is frustrating,” he<br />
said.<br />
Sharpe said the burglary had<br />
left “the staff and tamariki devastated”.<br />
Said preschool curriculum<br />
leader Kylie Jay: “It isn’t just<br />

about what was stolen; it is<br />

and we’re wondering about what<br />
else these ‘unwelcomed’ visitors<br />
did.<br />
“It is a big priority and focus<br />
of ours to give our children the<br />
right space to learn and grow in.<br />
“That includes the community<br />
garden that we use to teach<br />
children and give back to the<br />
community.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> preschool lost seedlings,<br />
potting mix, a garden hose,<br />
compost, a lawn mower and a<br />
water blaster.<br />
“People in the community<br />
have reached out to the preschool,<br />
and we’re thankful for<br />
the setting up of the Givealittle<br />
page.”<br />

Double fatal crash father on trial for<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
A FATHER has been accused of<br />
encouraging dangerous driving<br />
after a family gathering that led<br />
to a collision causing the death of<br />
his son and another young man.<br />
Mark Nicholl was dining with<br />
family and friends at a bar in<br />
Halswell when he and his family<br />
members allegedly began street<br />
racing, leading to a double fatal<br />
collision that not only claimed<br />
two lives but also left two of his<br />
other sons seriously injured.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 55-year-old is on trial in<br />
the district court facing two<br />
charges of being a party to<br />
dangerous driving causing death<br />
and one of dangerous driving<br />
causing injury.<br />
His son Mark Nicholl jnr,<br />
30, and family friend William<br />
Clark, 29 were both killed while<br />
another son Jayden Nicholl was<br />
seriously injured. A third son<br />
Shanan Nicholl suffered a traumatic<br />
brain injury.<br />
Shanan originally faced the<br />
same charges as his father but<br />
was considered unfit to stand<br />
trial due to his brain injury and<br />
was discharged.<br />
Nicholl senior’s nephew Ricky<br />
Nicholl was also involved and<br />
has pleaded guilty to the same<br />
charges, as well as a charge of<br />
attempting to pervert the course<br />
of justice by swapping seats with<br />
another man following the crash.<br />
COLLISION: <strong>The</strong> crash site where Mark Nicholl Jnr and his friend William Clark were killed.<br />
PHOTO: GEORGE HEARD/NZ HERALD<br />
Prosecutor Christina Hallaway<br />
opened the case describing the<br />
collision between a Subaru and<br />
ute that resulted in the “avoidable”<br />
deaths of two young men.<br />
It is the Crown’s case that although<br />
Nicholl senior wasn’t the<br />
driver of the Subaru at the time<br />
of the crash, he “intentionally encouraged”<br />
the driver, Shanan, to<br />
drive dangerously and therefore,<br />
he can be held liable under the<br />
term “party liability”.<br />
Hallaway said on the evening<br />
of September 25, 2021, about<br />
midday Nicholl senior and his<br />
family and friends were dining<br />
at Armadillos in Halswell before<br />
leaving in a group just before<br />
7.30pm.<br />
Nicholl snr, Nicholl jnr,<br />
Shanan Nicholl, Jayden Nicholl,<br />
Ricky Nicholl, William Clark<br />
and Matthew Gibbons were<br />
among those who left in four<br />
cars, travelling in a convoy.<br />
As the group travelled towards<br />
the Halswell Junction and Shands<br />
Rd intersection they began<br />
racing, overtaking one another,<br />
breaking heavily at traffic lights<br />
and speeding excessively when<br />
they turned green, the Crown<br />
alleged.<br />
During this time, she alleged<br />
some of the men jumped out of<br />
the driver’s seat and climbed into<br />
the passenger seat, taking turns<br />
racing each other.<br />
As the convoy approached the<br />
Halswell Junction and Shands<br />
Rd intersection, the Jeep, driven<br />
by Ricky, went speeding ahead<br />
and began “fishtailing”, appearing<br />
to have lost control, according<br />
to a witness.<br />
From the other side of the<br />
road, approaching the intersection<br />
was a couple in a ute towing<br />
a trailer. <strong>The</strong>y were travelling<br />
home from the Halswell New<br />
World at about 7.30pm and<br />
both described hearing a loud<br />
screeching as they approached<br />
the intersection.<br />
As the couple looked around<br />
to see where the screeching was<br />
coming from, they described seeing<br />
the Jeep fishtailing towards<br />
them.<br />
As they watched the Jeep, they<br />
were hit head-on by the Subaru,<br />
allegedly driven by Shanan,<br />
which had spun out of control<br />
and was travelling sideways<br />
towards them.<br />

COURT 9<br />
allegedly encouraging street racing<br />
Jayden, Nicholl jnr and Clark<br />
were passengers in the Subaru,<br />
Hallaway said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> man driving the ute<br />
described the collision as<br />
happening very quickly and<br />
said he didn’t even have time to<br />
realise what was happening as<br />
the Subaru hit him.<br />
He estimated he would have<br />
been travelling about 65km/h as<br />
he was towing a trailer and was<br />
anticipating the lights turning<br />
orange at the intersection.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Crown alleged the Subaru<br />
would have been travelling well<br />
over 100km/hr as it rotated<br />
clockwise and crossed the<br />
centerline, into the path of the<br />
ute.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Crown also alleged that<br />
Nicholl snr, who was following<br />
the Subaru in a Holden, was<br />
aware of the crash that involved<br />
his sons, but continued driving<br />
home.<br />
After the collision, the driver<br />
of the ute checked his partner<br />
was okay and they both climbed<br />
out of the passenger door side,<br />
as the driver’s door could not be<br />
opened.<br />
Once the pair saw the severity<br />
of the crash, they began to check<br />
the four men in the Subaru, some<br />
of whom were unconscious or<br />
making groaning sounds.<br />
<strong>The</strong> woman described a scene<br />
of chaos as people began turning<br />
up to the crash scene, including<br />
some girls who she said began<br />
screaming once they saw the state<br />
of the men in the Subaru.<br />
<strong>The</strong> man managed to pull one<br />
person from the vehicle and<br />
waited with him on the side of<br />
the road as emergency services<br />
began arriving.<br />
<strong>The</strong> man said he only had<br />
minor injuries such as bruising,<br />
while the woman required<br />
surgery and suffered whiplash, a<br />
concussion, scarring to the back<br />
of her eye and distorted hearing<br />
in her left ear.<br />
Nicholl jnr and Clark died<br />
at the scene while Shanan and<br />
Jayden were transported to the<br />

Wealthiest iwi files $95.5m loss,<br />
reflects on last 25 years<br />
• By Will Trafford<br />
TWENTY-FIVE years after its<br />
$170 million settlement, Ngāi<br />
Tahu has witnessed a tenfold, or<br />
1000 per cent, increase in assets.<br />
Now recognised by a TDB<br />
Advisory report as New<br />
Zealand’s wealthiest iwi, its<br />
leadership acknowledges that the<br />
group is not completely shielded<br />
from the macroeconomic<br />
headwinds affecting the global<br />
economy and, by extension,<br />
Aotearoa.<br />
Despite its impressive growth,<br />
the group has filed a $95.5m loss<br />
this financial year, largely related<br />
to property write-downs in the<br />
real estate market but business<br />
has been tough overall according<br />
to the group.<br />
“I think we’ve done well, considering<br />
the challenges – we’ve<br />
had some natural disasters come<br />
in,” said chief executive Lisa Tumahai,<br />
underscoring the group’s<br />
resilience amidst<br />
adversity.<br />
Revenues<br />
climbed to<br />
$372.8m, buoyed<br />
by sectors like<br />
farming, seafood,<br />
tourism,<br />
Lisa<br />
Tumahai<br />
and property<br />
but so too did<br />
operating costs,<br />
which jumped to $128.1m, with<br />
borrowing costs at $18.5m.<br />
Paper losses at the country’s<br />
wealthiest iwi have seen them<br />
book a $100m loss on the 25th<br />
anniversary of settlement,<br />
mostly related to the country’s<br />
volatile property market.<br />
A $42.7m loss from property<br />
investment revaluations, led to a<br />
trading shortfall.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> cost of living, the rising<br />
cost of interests . . . Farming and<br />
forestry had been exposed to<br />
higher costs and falling export<br />
prices,” chair Mike Pohio said.<br />
“We see that house prices are<br />
down. That has slowed demand.<br />
And that has therefore slowed<br />
the number of properties or<br />
residential sections that our<br />
property division sells,” he<br />
added.<br />
Even as the group grapples<br />
with these challenges, Pohio<br />
identifies strengths in the group’s<br />
diversified portfolio.<br />
“Seafoods and tourism have<br />
had great years,” he stated.<br />
Property ventures like the<br />
Mānia industrial land in<br />
Dunedin and Te Pā Tāhuna in<br />
Queenstown have shown strong<br />
performance, with property<br />
assets contributing a $54.5m<br />
surplus despite setbacks like<br />
the costly water damage in the<br />
Uku development in Auckland’s<br />
Hobsonville.<br />
Tourism initiatives like<br />
Shotover Jet and the All Blacks<br />
Experience faced a decrease<br />
in surplus, yet demonstrated<br />
resilience, and farming yielded a<br />
$9.4m surplus.<br />
“Our bottom line showed a<br />
reduction in valuations,” Pohio<br />
remarked.<br />
“However, it’s at times like<br />
these, the tough conditions that<br />
we’ve faced, that we’d benefit<br />
from a diversity in our portfolio.”<br />
A sour note was also the tough<br />
decision to shutter the Mānuka<br />
honey business, Oha Honey,<br />
which had seen its production<br />
plummet to 244 tonnes from<br />
the previous year’s 491 tonnes,<br />
culminating in a substantial<br />
$35.9m operating loss.<br />
As Tumahai reflects on the<br />
25-year journey, she places<br />

successes and looking forward<br />
with ambition.<br />
“For this year, we’re celebrating<br />
the last 25 years post-settlement.<br />
It’s crucial we look back on all<br />
the gems, the highlights that<br />
have happened over the last 25<br />
years and celebrate those,” she<br />
said.<br />
Proud of the organisation’s<br />
strategic direction, Tumahai<br />

Tumahai reflects on her<br />
tenure with the iwi: “I’ve had an<br />
absolute privilege to be involved<br />
with the iwi in the early stages<br />
. . . to see some of these really<br />
foundational things that will be<br />
there for the next 25 years.”<br />

New<br />

allowed<br />
in Watson<br />
appeal<br />
THE COURT of Appeal has<br />
ruled lawyers for the man<br />
convicted of murdering Ben<br />
Smart and Olivia Hope can<br />
include extra expert evidence in<br />
his appeal next year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two<br />

Scott Watson<br />
has long claimed<br />
his innocence<br />
and is set to<br />
launch his latest appeal in June.<br />
At a hearing last month,<br />
Crown lawyer Madeleine<br />
Laracy argued Watson’s legal<br />
team needed to explain why<br />
they should be allowed to<br />
include two new expert reports<br />
about hairs, thought to belong<br />
to Hope, found on a blanket on<br />
Watson’s yacht Blade.<br />
Watson’s lawyer Nick Chisnall<br />
argued the full hearing<br />
panel would be better placed to<br />
decide on their relevance.<br />
In a decision released on<br />
Monday, the Court of Appeal<br />
agreed.<br />
“It is, at this stage, extremely<br />
difficult to assess the cogency of<br />
(the) evidence. <strong>The</strong> panel which<br />
hears Mr Watson’s appeal will<br />
be in a far better position to<br />
assess what, if any, cogency<br />
attaches to the challenged<br />
evidence after it considers all<br />
other relevant evidence,” the<br />
decision says, noting Laracy<br />
had accepted the court would<br />
have difficulty ruling on<br />
admissibility without knowing<br />
what other evidence would be<br />
covered at the appeal.<br />
“ . . . <strong>The</strong> Crown’s application<br />
to exclude the evidence can<br />
be pursued at the appeal if<br />
necessary.”<br />

A MAN charged with aggravated<br />
burglary has walked free partway<br />
through a trial, while the victim,<br />
who was allegedly hit in the<br />
head with a hammer during<br />
the burglary, was sent to jail for<br />
calling a lawyer a “f***wit”.<br />
Things got heated at a trial in<br />
the district court when burglary<br />
victim Hamish Lucas* began<br />
swearing while being questioned.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y got even hotter during<br />
cross-examination when he was<br />
asked about the defendant, Marcus<br />
Bourne*, having slept with<br />
Lucas’ girlfriend.<br />
<strong>The</strong> self-employed father-ofthree<br />
responded by picking up<br />
a water jug and throwing water<br />
on Bourne before being forcibly<br />
removed back to the dock.<br />
“Usually,<br />
(that’s) the area<br />
that the defendant<br />
resides, not<br />
the complainant,”<br />
Judge Tom<br />
Gilbert said in a<br />
recently released<br />
decision describing<br />
how Lucas<br />
ended up being<br />
sent to prison for eight days for<br />
“serious” contempt of court.<br />
Judge Gilbert said he had never<br />
seen anything like what happened<br />
in his 25 years in criminal<br />
courts and in his seven years as<br />
a judge, while defence lawyer<br />
Allister Davis told NZME being<br />
called a f***wit was “just the<br />
job”.<br />
“He (Lucas) was getting a bit<br />
smart, and I had to ask him<br />
certain questions about his girlfriend<br />
playing ‘hide the sausage’<br />
with my client.<br />
“That’s when he really lost his<br />
rag,” Davis said.<br />

Bourne was on trial earlier<br />
this year facing a charge of aggravated<br />
burglary in August<br />
2021. An initial trial was earlier<br />
abandoned when Lucas failed to<br />
show up.<br />
It was alleged Bourne and<br />
another unknown person went<br />
to Lucas’ house, apparently over<br />
a low-level drug exchange that<br />
went wrong.<br />
When Bourne and his associate<br />
arrived at Lucas’ house, there<br />
was talk about taking one of his<br />
vehicles. Lucas told them that<br />
would not be happening, and<br />
he was struck in the head with<br />
a hammer, allegedly by Bourne,<br />
while the other person smashed a<br />
window with the piece of wood.<br />
Bourne denied he was involved<br />
and said he’d been at home<br />
with his parents on the night in<br />
question.<br />
Judge Gilbert said in his recent<br />
decision that Lucas was using<br />
“unfortunate language” while<br />
giving evidence, but, given the<br />
stress of the situation, he was not<br />
overly concerned.<br />
Lucas was asked to calm down<br />
and give evidence without resorting<br />
to swearing.<br />
His volatility “ramped up” after<br />
the prosecution finished and<br />
Davis started questioning Lucas.<br />
Judge Gilbert activated the<br />
duress alarm to speed up his<br />
request for security officers in<br />
court.<br />
“That message was taking a<br />
wee while to be actioned, and I<br />
became sufficiently concerned<br />
that I activated the duress alarm<br />
to speed that along.”<br />
Lucas’ demeanour then “went<br />
up a gear” when the question<br />
about his girlfriend was raised.<br />
He was asked again to settle<br />
down, and when asked once<br />
more, he “arced up”.<br />
Lucas got up, left the witness<br />
box and advanced five or six<br />
metres towards where Bourne<br />
was seated in an aggressive and<br />
abusive fashion, threatening him.<br />
Court security and Corrections<br />
officers intervened in what<br />
appeared to be an imminent<br />
assault, but Lucas picked up<br />
the water jug and emptied it on<br />
Bourne.<br />
<strong>The</strong> jury retreated and Lucas<br />
was taken into custody while<br />
Judge Gilbert decided what to do<br />
with the charge and, secondly,<br />
what to do with Lucas.<br />
While in the cells, Lucas<br />
apologised for his outburst but<br />
indicated it was unlikely he<br />

COURTROOM<br />
DRAMA: <strong>The</strong><br />
burglary victim<br />
called the<br />
accused’s lawyer<br />
‘a f***wit’ before<br />
pouring a jug of<br />
water over the<br />
accused. Judge<br />
Tom Gilbert<br />
sent the man to<br />
prison for eight<br />
days for ‘serious’<br />
contempt<br />
of court and<br />
dismissed the<br />
aggravated<br />
burglary charge.<br />
PHOTO: GETTY<br />
would be able to control his<br />
anger if the trial continued.<br />
Judge Gilbert exercised the<br />
jurisdiction available to him<br />
to dismiss the charge against<br />
Bourne. He said his decision<br />
was based on it being the second<br />
attempt at a trial but, more<br />
relevantly, because he thought<br />
there was little if any chance<br />
of the matter being able to get<br />
through to verdict because of<br />
Lucas’ volatility.<br />
“In a system that is so<br />
overstretched already, I am not<br />
prepared to allow this matter to<br />
continue.”<br />
In deciding an outcome at the<br />
subsequent contempt hearing<br />
for Lucas, Judge Gilbert set a<br />
starting point at five weeks in<br />
prison, reduced in recognition<br />
of Lucas’ apology, his genuine<br />
regret and the fact his outburst<br />
had led to the defendant walking<br />
free.<br />
Judge Gilbert said the decision<br />
wasn’t made lightly, but Lucas’<br />
conduct had to be marked in a<br />
way that reflected the gravity of<br />
the situation.<br />

Teen appeals fatal punch sentence<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
A TEENAGER who killed<br />
another teen by punching him<br />
in the head has appealed his<br />
three year jail sentence, arguing<br />
the punishment he received is<br />
“not a good fit” for the crime he<br />
committed.<br />
Armani Williams, 18, was<br />
jailed for three years after fatally<br />
punching 18-year-old Levi<br />
Haami at the Moorhouse Ave<br />
Countdown car park on December<br />
4, 2021. Williams was 16 at<br />
the time.<br />
Williams had been driving<br />
past Haami, who was urinating<br />
in the car park when Haami<br />
questioned Williams about looking<br />
at his private parts.<br />
Williams then approached<br />
Haami and delivered the fatal<br />
blow to the left side of his mouth,<br />
causing him to fall backwards<br />
and hit his head on the concrete.<br />
Haami suffered catastrophic<br />
brain injuries and died in<br />
Christchurch Hospital the next<br />
day.<br />
In May last year, Williams<br />
pleaded guilty to a charge of<br />
manslaughter, which had been<br />
downgraded from murder at the<br />
High Court in Christchurch.<br />
Williams appealed his sentence<br />
through his lawyer Ethan<br />
Huda, arguing the five-year<br />
starting point the judge adopted<br />
FATAL: Levi Haami died after being punched in the Moorhouse Ave Countdown carpark in<br />
December 2021.<br />
PHOTO: GEORGIA O’CONNOR-HARDING<br />
at his sentencing was too high<br />
and that his “youth and background<br />
merit higher reductions”.<br />
Huda referred to teen killer<br />
Mark Nagel, who was sentenced<br />
to two years imprisonment with<br />
the option to apply for home<br />
detention last month for killing<br />
61-year-old Anthony Kelly with<br />
a martial arts-style kick to his<br />
head in the central city.<br />
He said that in Nagel’s case it<br />
was a group attack against an<br />
elderly person, where the judge<br />
took a starting point of four-anda-half<br />
years imprisonment.<br />
In Williams’ case, however, the<br />
punch was delivered to a young<br />
man who was “not frail” and he<br />
received a starting point of five<br />
years imprisonment.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re’s a symmetry in these<br />
cases,” Huda said, pointing out<br />
the sentencing judge for Nagel<br />
arrived at that starting point by<br />
assessing a number of relevant<br />
cases.<br />
However, Crown prosecutor<br />
Kerry White said Williams<br />
accepted a sentence indication<br />
that stated a starting point of five<br />
years would be adopted.<br />
She said Williams approached<br />
Haami with a “high level of<br />
aggression” and anger before<br />
delivering a forceful blow to the<br />
left side of his mouth.<br />
While White accepted Williams<br />
had a difficult upbringing,<br />
This report was produced by Open<br />
Justice – Te Pātītī, a Public<br />
Interest Journalism initiative<br />
funded by NZ on Air<br />
she said there were periods when<br />
he was in the care of a family<br />
who loved and cared for him.<br />
Huda said his client was 16 at<br />
the time of the offence, was diagnosed<br />
with ADHD and had told<br />
a probation officer he “deserves<br />
to be locked up” for what he did.<br />
Huda said neurological<br />
development may not be<br />
complete until the age of 25 and<br />
said Williams received a 10 per<br />
cent discount for his youth when<br />
a discount of at least 15 per cent<br />
should have been available.<br />
“One young man looking at<br />
another young man urinating,<br />
it’s silly, it’s sad,” Huda said.<br />
Huda argued that a shorter<br />
term of imprisonment is<br />
warranted for his client due<br />
to his youth and background<br />
factors.<br />
Family and friends of Haami<br />
attended the hearing, wearing<br />
shirts with his face on.<br />
<strong>The</strong> panel of judges thanked<br />
Haami’s family and friends<br />
for attending court and<br />
acknowledged how difficult it<br />
is to sit through a hearing of<br />
this kind. <strong>The</strong>y reserved their<br />
decision.
HINDSIGHT IS a wonderful<br />
thing. I’ve thought that a few<br />
times listening, watching and<br />
reading some of the media<br />
coverage of the coroner’s inquest<br />
into the 2019 mosque attacks.<br />
It’s obviously something that<br />
Mike Ardagh has thought too.<br />
If the name rings a bell – he’s a<br />
professor of emergency medicine<br />
at Otago University, Christchurch.<br />
He’s also a specialist in<br />
the emergency department at<br />
Christchurch Hospital.<br />
He’s been in the news a lot over<br />
the years. And he’s in the news<br />
again with some pretty strong<br />
comments about the inquest into<br />
the mosque shootings, which<br />
has been going for the last three<br />
weeks and is expected to go for<br />
another four weeks.<br />
In a nutshell, he’s saying that<br />
the way it’s being run is unfair<br />
and mean to the emergency responders<br />
who have been hauled<br />
in to give evidence. Those are the<br />
words he’s using to describe it –<br />
“unfair and mean”.<br />
He says ambulance and police<br />
staff are being treated as if<br />
they’re the ones on trial. Saying it<br />
appears to be all about winning<br />
arguments instead of finding<br />
facts. And, from what I’ve seen, I<br />
think he’s spot on.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was one line of questioning<br />
in particular that I couldn’t<br />
believe one of the lawyers representing<br />
the victims’ families<br />
asked. It was last week, when a<br />
member of the Armed Offenders<br />
Squad involved in the response<br />
that day was on the stand.<br />
Lawyer Kathryn Dalziel<br />
wanted to know why he stopped<br />
people outside the mosque from<br />
going in after the shootings, and<br />
he explained he didn’t know<br />
who they were and there was a<br />
risk that one of them could have<br />
been an offender. Or a ‘sleeper’,<br />
so someone pretending to be a<br />
member of the mosque community<br />
but actually being a terrorist<br />
themselves.<br />
And, as she told the court,<br />
these people were desperate to<br />
get inside and help.<br />
She then went on to say this.<br />
And this is the bit that staggered<br />
me.<br />
I’ll quote her directly. She said:<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
“My clients, and this is really<br />
important to them, they want to<br />
know, would you have been so<br />
cautious about there being a possible<br />
sleeper if you had been talking<br />
to a group of white people?”<br />
<strong>The</strong> report I saw said the AOS<br />
member “appeared surprised by<br />
that question”, which is probably<br />
putting it mildly. But he<br />
responded as you would expect<br />
an AOS person to respond. He<br />
said: “I would have dealt with the<br />
situation the exact same way.”<br />
Which, of course, he would’ve.<br />
But this is what Mike Ardagh<br />
is getting at. He’s saying the<br />
whole approach seems to be<br />
about challenging the emergency<br />
responders. Prove to us that you<br />
didn’t cock-up. That’s why he<br />
thinks it is unfair and mean for<br />
the emergency responders giving<br />
evidence.<br />
You can imagine how gobsmacked<br />
the Armed Offenders<br />
guy would have been with that<br />
question. And, from the coverage<br />
I’ve seen, it does feel like the lawyers<br />
representing the victims and<br />
families are doing what lawyers<br />
normally do in criminal trials.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y create murkiness. <strong>The</strong>y create<br />
doubt. And we’ve seen plenty<br />
of that so far.<br />
As Ardagh says, the emergency<br />
responders being questioned<br />
and treated this way are good<br />

HAVE YOUR SAY: What<br />
do you think of the way<br />

Email your response in 200<br />

people. <strong>The</strong>y are not accused of<br />
any crimes. But it seems, doesn’t<br />
it – from the way they are being<br />
spoken to and questioned – that<br />
they are on trial.<br />
In some respects, the response<br />
that day itself is on trial. But how<br />
fair is it that individual people –<br />
who put their own lives on the<br />
line that day – are questioned<br />
and treated the way they are in<br />
such a public way? I think it is<br />
very unfair.<br />
Because, as Ardagh points out,<br />
many of these people are already<br />
significantly distressed by what<br />
they went through on that day.<br />
And he reckons what he calls a<br />
“more collaborative exploration”<br />
would not only be better for the<br />
responders in the dock, but it<br />
would probably get more useful<br />
information.<br />
And I’m with him 100 per<br />
cent. I think it is completely<br />
unfair that individual emergency<br />
responders are being asked to<br />
publicly defend suggestions that<br />
they were too slow, confused or<br />
biased in their decision-making.<br />

Big money raised for Cox’s treatment<br />
• By Dave Di Somma<br />
THE KATIE Cox Appeal is<br />
now expected to be at about<br />
$300,000 after a massive last few<br />
days, including a Melbourne<br />
Cup fund-raising luncheon at<br />
Addington on Tuesday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 33-year-old Leeston harness<br />
racing trainer and driver<br />
is battling a rare form of lung<br />
cancer, with a trust fund set up<br />
to help pay for expensive medication.<br />
She recently started her<br />
first round of treatment.<br />
Trust founder Craig Wiggins<br />
told the 200 people at Tuesday’s<br />
luncheon the total was already<br />
at $195,000, after a number of<br />
sizeable donations, including<br />
$25,000 from Entain, $10,000<br />
from TAB NZ and $5000 from<br />
Harness Racing New Zealand.<br />
On top of that the luncheon<br />
then raised close to $100,000.<br />
Money was raised from the<br />
luncheon itself ($1200 for a table<br />
of 10) as well as an auction featuring<br />
about 50 items that had<br />
been generously donated.<br />
Cox was at the luncheon<br />
which was also attended by<br />
a who’s who of Canterbury<br />
harness racing, including high<br />
profile trainers, breeders, owners<br />
and drivers.<br />
It had been organised at short<br />
notice by racing presenter Greg<br />
O’Connor who MC’d the afternoon<br />
and was involved in some<br />
spirited banter with auctioneerfor-the-day<br />
(and former junior<br />
driver) Stevie Golding.<br />
<strong>The</strong> highest bid was $8500<br />
forked out for a trans-Tasman<br />
horse flight with IRT, while a<br />
service fee to multiple Group 1<br />
winner King Of Swing sold for<br />
$6000.<br />
A trip for two to the world’s<br />
richest harness race, the Eureka<br />
in Sydney, fetched $4300, while<br />
a 10 per cent lifetime share in<br />
Levi (courtesy of Tim Vince)<br />
raised $4000. Levi, a What<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hill two-year-old, has had<br />
one placing from three starts<br />
and will race again as early as<br />
tomorrow night.<br />
A full driving set by 10-time<br />
Kiwi champion and now USAbased<br />
Dexter Dunn was also<br />
offered up. It went for $1100.<br />
<strong>The</strong> final tally from the<br />
auction and luncheon isn’t<br />
known yet but it will be “close<br />
to six figures”, according to<br />
O’Connor.<br />
“It was a great vibe and<br />
everyone has been extremely<br />
generous – it was a very<br />
successful day.”<br />

Defending champs chances at<br />
making semi finals hurt by rain<br />
FORMIDABLE: A strong Elmwood team, including Louise<br />
Oxnevad, take on defending champs Te Kura Hagley, who<br />
need to win to secure a place in the play-offs.<br />
• By Diane Keenan<br />
DEFENDING champions Te<br />
Kura Hagley face the possibility<br />
of not making the semi-finals<br />
of Premier interclub women’s<br />
tennis due adverse weather<br />
restricting this season’s<br />
competition to one match to<br />
date.<br />
<strong>The</strong> final round-robin games<br />
in the men’s and women’s<br />
competitions will be played<br />
this weekend, with semi-finals<br />
scheduled for <strong>November</strong> 25 and<br />
finals on December 2.<br />
<strong>The</strong> weather has proved<br />
frustrating, particularly for<br />
the women, whose games last<br />
Friday night were again rained<br />
off, making it three out of four<br />
round-robin matches cancelled.<br />
“We were looking forward to<br />
the new competition format, but<br />
it doesn’t make much sense in<br />
having playoffs based on only<br />
two rounds of play,” Te Kura<br />
Hagley’s Michelle North-Kelsen<br />
said.<br />
“However, it is what it is and<br />
we are playing because we enjoy<br />
our tennis.”<br />
Te Kura Hagley needs to win<br />
on Saturday against what North-<br />
Kelsen describes as a formidable<br />
Elmwood team to secure a place<br />
in the play-offs. In the only competition<br />
round played to date,<br />
Te Kura Hagley was upset by<br />
Bishopdale with Adele Aorangi<br />
the defending champion’s only<br />
player to secure a win.<br />
“Some of us haven’t been playing<br />
a lot in the off-season and it<br />
certainly showed that the young<br />
players in the Bishopdale team<br />
had been hitting a lot more balls<br />
than us. <strong>The</strong>y played really well<br />
and thoroughly deserved their<br />
win,” North-Kelsen said.<br />
Elmwood’s line-up includes<br />
Abby Mason, along with Louise<br />
Oxnevad and Tessa McCann,<br />
who are both playing the Caro<br />
Bowl competition in Auckland<br />
on Friday nights and flying back<br />
to Christchurch for Saturday<br />
interclub.<br />
Waimairi and Bishopdale lead<br />
the women’s competition by one<br />
point and they will play each<br />
other at Waimairi, while Cashmere<br />
and Shirley, both needing<br />
a win to secure their semi-final<br />
spot, play at Cashmere.<br />
Tennis Canterbury’s Bevan<br />
Johns said fine weather last Saturday<br />
allowed for results in two<br />
of the three men’s competition<br />
match-ups, while Bishopdale<br />
and Burnside Park shared points<br />
after not completing their match.<br />
<strong>The</strong> top four men’s teams are<br />
Elmwood, Cashmere, Burnside<br />
Park and Bishopdale.<br />
Elmwood scored maximum<br />
points in its win over Edgeware<br />
Waimairi last weekend, while<br />
Cashmere was equally convincing<br />
against Te Kura Hagley.<br />
This week’s men’s competition<br />
is on Friday night, with competition<br />
leaders Elmwood taking on<br />
the talented Burnside Park team<br />
at Elmwood.<br />
<strong>The</strong> home team’s ranks were<br />
boosted last week with the inclusion<br />
of James Watt who played<br />
top singles. Watt, standing at<br />
208cm, hits the ball hard, moves<br />
well and has great hands, Johns<br />
said.<br />
He and his brother, Ryan, who<br />
plays in the club’s division one<br />
team, have a long association<br />
with the Elmwood club.<br />
Watt, who is unbeaten in both<br />
singles and doubles for his Caro<br />
Bowl competition leading Next<br />
Generation team, has returned<br />
to his Melbourne base to train<br />
and compete in money tournaments.<br />
He has now qualified<br />
to represent Elmwood in the<br />
playoffs. Even without Watt this<br />
weekend, Elmwood has a strong<br />
pool of players including Elliott<br />
and Lawrence Darling, Jamie<br />
Garbett, Jack Tiller and Benji<br />
McGillivray to call on.<br />
Burnside Park has fielded Finn<br />
Emslie-Robson, Jordan Edwards,<br />
Emilio Gonzaga and Ricky<br />
Kotepong as its singles players in<br />
both of its matches, bringing in<br />
club coach Remi Feneon for the<br />
doubles.<br />
Cashmere also used its top<br />
player, James Meredith, to play<br />
doubles in its win last weekend<br />
against Te Kura Hagley. His<br />
older brother Tim has been<br />
filling Cashmere’s top singles<br />
role with James playing Caro<br />
Bowl for Cockle Bay where he is<br />
unbeaten in singles.<br />
This week Cashmere will take<br />
on Edgeware Waimairi who have<br />
a strong top singles duo of Paddy<br />
Ou (Otago) and Nick Jenkins.<br />
Te Kura Hagley this week plays<br />
Bishopdale at Bishopdale.<br />

Robertson’s All Blacks: What<br />
will the team look like now?<br />
<strong>The</strong> All Blacks are<br />
gearing up for a<br />
transformative chapter<br />
under new coach<br />
Scott Robertson. Luke<br />
Kirkness looks at what<br />
might lie ahead and<br />
what the AB’s might<br />
look like<br />
ROBERTSON’S coaching style<br />
is far different to Ian Foster,<br />
characterised by his visionary<br />
mindset, in which campaign<br />
themes and imagery play a<br />
prominent role. Unlike Foster,<br />
Razor will embrace new-age<br />
coaching methods and challenge<br />
the status quo. His desire<br />
to be himself and connect<br />
with younger generations<br />
sets him apart from more<br />
conservative elements in rugby<br />
administration.<br />
Robertson’s coaching philosophy<br />
is expected to be a blend of<br />
traditional rugby values with<br />
a sense of freedom and lack of<br />
inhibition. He aims to make the<br />
All Blacks a team that speaks to<br />
younger generations both figuratively<br />
and literally.<br />
As he steps into his role,<br />
Robertson brings with him a<br />
seasoned coaching team of Jason<br />
Ryan, Leon MacDonald, Jason<br />
Holland, and Scott Hansen.<br />
While Robertson has been tightlipped<br />
about his game plan, he<br />
has acknowledged the need for a<br />
different approach in test rugby<br />
compared to Super Rugby but<br />
what will his side look like?<br />
Scott Robertson’s (possible)<br />
starting All Blacks line-up<br />
Fullback: Will Jordan<br />
All Blacks fans will finally<br />
see Will Jordan unleashed from<br />
fullback next year, with Beauden<br />
Barrett joining Japanese club<br />
Toyota Verblitz. Whenever Jordan<br />
is on the field, he can’t stay<br />
out of the action and things just<br />
seem to happen. He has the x-factor<br />
and that’s been shown on full<br />
display at the World Cup, where<br />
he was the leading try-scorer.<br />
Reserve: Stephen Perofeta.<br />
Honourable mentions: Zarn Sullivan,<br />
Sam Gilbert.<br />
Wingers: Mark Tele’a and<br />
Shaun Stevenson<br />
Mark Tele’a has been one of the<br />
form wingers in New Zealand<br />
over the past two years and<br />
Shaun Stevenson is knocking<br />
on the door. His ability to run<br />
through defenders – not just<br />
around them – is Ben Smith-like.<br />
<strong>The</strong> man with uncanny footwork<br />
has also developed a skilful kicking<br />
game and is a safe pair of<br />
hands under the high ball.<br />
Stevenson, meanwhile, can<br />
play on either wing and covers<br />
fullback too. He had a breakout<br />
year for the Chiefs and despite<br />
being chased by NRL coach<br />
Wayne Bennett, decided to stay<br />
in New Zealand.<br />
Honourable mentions: Emoni<br />
Narawa, Caleb Clarke, Sevu<br />
Reece.<br />
Midfield: Rieko Ioane, Jordie<br />
Barrett<br />
Jordie Barrett can seemingly<br />
play anywhere in the backline –<br />
possibly to the detriment of his<br />
desire to play in the midfield.<br />
But he’s forming a powerful connection<br />
alongside Rieko Ioane.<br />
Barrett has a phenomenal skillset<br />
and is renowned for his longrange<br />
kicking ability and skills<br />
under the high ball. He’s quick<br />
and strong too, useful in both<br />
attack and defence.<br />
Ioane is a fan favourite and<br />
for good reason. <strong>The</strong> speedster’s<br />
exhilarating pace and strength<br />
caught the attention of the All<br />
Blacks selectors in 2016, and he<br />
was selected for the Northern<br />
Tour in <strong>November</strong>. Ioane hasn’t<br />
looked back since and has been<br />
one of the first selections for the<br />
All Blacks since his debut. In that<br />
time, he has proved to be a tryscoring<br />
machine.<br />
Reserve: Braydon Ennor. Honourable<br />
mentions: Levi Aumua,<br />
David Havili, Anton Lienert-<br />
Brown, Quinn Tupaea.<br />
First five-eighths: Damian<br />
McKenzie<br />
Arguably the best player<br />
in Super Rugby Pacific <strong>2023</strong>,<br />
Damian McKenzie struggled<br />
to get game time at the World<br />
Cup behind Richie Mo’unga and<br />
Beauden Barrett. With both stars<br />
leaving New Zealand’s shores,<br />
the firecracker McKenzie has the<br />
chance to make the No 10 jersey<br />
his own. <strong>The</strong> silky McKenzie is<br />
great with ball in hand and has<br />
electric footwork that sees him<br />
frequently duck and weave away<br />
from defenders.<br />
A concern for Robertson<br />
though will be that for the first<br />
time in a long time, first fiveeighths<br />
is a position in which<br />
New Zealand doesn’t have a lot<br />
of depth.<br />
Honourable mentions: Josh<br />
Ioane, Fergus Burke, Ruben Love.<br />
Halfback: Cam Roigard<br />
Irrepressible halfback Cam<br />
Roigard played his way into the<br />
World Cup squad through an<br />
impressive <strong>2023</strong> Super Rugby<br />
Pacific campaign. Roigard was a<br />
revelation for the Hurricanes this<br />
season after earning selection in<br />
the All Blacks XV last <strong>November</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 22-year-old is a constant<br />
threat with the ball in hand, as<br />
showcased during the pool stages<br />
of the World Cup. He should get<br />
the start over Finlay Christie.<br />
Reserve: Finlay Christie.<br />
Honourable mentions: Folau<br />
Fakatava, T.J. Perenara.<br />
No 8: Ardie Savea (captain)<br />
Undeniably the best player in<br />
the world, Ardie Savea should be<br />
the first name on the team sheet.<br />
Don’t be surprised if Robertson<br />
opts to make Savea his captain.<br />
But what may cause concern for<br />
Robertson’s first squad is that the<br />
Hurricanes loose forward is soon<br />
heading to Japan – he returns<br />
to New Zealand in June 2024.<br />
<strong>The</strong> dynamic powerhouse has<br />
continued to go from strength<br />
to strength since making his All<br />
Blacks debut against Wales in<br />
2016. His combination of tremendous<br />
speed, athleticism and an<br />
ability to stay alive in the tackle<br />
is second to none and he always<br />
leads from the front.<br />
Honourable mentions: Cullen<br />
Grace, Hoskins Sotutu, Akira<br />
Ioane.<br />

COACH: Scott Robertson, known as Razor, took the reins<br />
last week.<br />
PHOTO: GETTY<br />
Openside flanker: Sam Cane<br />
Sam Cane has faced the nearimpossible<br />
task of following the<br />
greatest player ever, Richie Mc-<br />
Caw, first as the All Blacks openside<br />
flanker and later as captain.<br />
That job only got harder after he<br />
became the first man to be redcarded<br />
in a World Cup final on<br />
Sunday. Still, the current skipper<br />
tackles like no other. Cane’s defensive<br />
crunch and his strength<br />
at the collision point are second<br />
to none, coupled with his ability<br />
as a clean-out operator that puts<br />
fear into the opposition.<br />
Those who criticise Cane may<br />
have forgotten how devastating<br />
he was against Ireland in the<br />
quarter-finals.<br />
Reserve: Dalton Papali’i.<br />
Honourable mentions: Du’Plessis<br />
Kirifi, Billy Harmon, Tom Christie.<br />
Blindside flanker: Ethan<br />
Blackadder<br />
Brought into the World Cup<br />
squad as an injury replacement<br />
for Emoni Narawa, Ethan Blackadder<br />
will be the frontrunner<br />
to become Shannon Frizell’s<br />
replacement at blindside flanker.<br />
Frizell, who heads to Japan, had<br />
a physically epic <strong>2023</strong> season,<br />
something Blackadder could<br />
match. <strong>The</strong> Crusaders loosie goes<br />
from 0 to 100 as soon as the kickoff<br />
drops and plays the game all<br />
gas, no brakes. That style of play<br />
does come with its drawbacks, as<br />
Blackadder is prone to conceding<br />
the odd penalty or three, but it’s<br />
a fair price to pay for the good he<br />
brings to a team.<br />
Honourable mentions: Luke<br />
Jacobson, Samipeni Finau.<br />
Locks: Scott Barrett, Tupou<br />
Vaa’i<br />
Discipline has, at times, been<br />
an area of weakness for Scott<br />
Barrett, though he generally<br />
makes up for that through the<br />
rest of his play. Equally as<br />
comfortable at lock or blindside<br />
flanker, Barrett brings physicality<br />
every time he steps onto the<br />
pitch. He’s added to his rugby<br />
resume with captaincy at Super<br />
level, which has only lifted his<br />
overall game.<br />
Tupou Vaa’i is the latest in a<br />
string of formidable locks for<br />
the All Blacks. Vaa’i has filled in<br />
superbly when his number has<br />
been called.<br />
Reserve: Josh Lord. Honourable<br />
mentions: Pari Pari Parkinson,<br />
Quinten Strange.<br />
Props: Tyrel Lomax, Ethan de<br />
Groot<br />
Tyrel Lomax and Ethan de<br />
Groot are the latest in a long<br />
line of impressive New Zealand<br />
props.<br />
Raised in the deep south,<br />
loosehead de Groot is massive<br />
at 1.90m and 122kg and puts his<br />
size to good use at scrum time<br />
and in attack.<br />
Lomax, son of former Kiwis<br />
international John, grew up<br />
playing league in Wellington but<br />
switched to rugby when his family<br />
returned to Canberra. A good<br />
scrummager, and active in open<br />
play where he is always looking<br />
for the tackle and trying to get<br />
stuck into the ruck, he is a strong<br />
talent.<br />
Reserves: Tamaiti Williams,<br />
Fletcher Newell. Honourable<br />
mentions: Joe Moody, Ofa<br />
Tu’ungafasi, Aidan Ross.<br />
Hooker: Codie Taylor<br />
Codie Taylor is equipped with<br />
a strong and swift running game,<br />
deft passing ability, a high IQ for<br />
the game, strong defence and a<br />
terrific engine. He will be one of<br />
Robertson’s leaders.<br />
A powerful scrummager and<br />
surprisingly quick runner, Taylor<br />
has worked his way back into<br />
favour with the All Blacks selectors<br />
after a rocky series against<br />
Ireland in 2022 that saw him<br />
dropped, and had a strong World<br />
Cup.<br />
Reserves: Samisoni Taukei’aho.<br />
Honourable mentions: Asafo<br />
Aumua, George Bell.<br />
Full list of possible reserves:<br />
16. Samisoni Taukei’aho, 17.<br />
Tamaiti Williams, 18. Fletcher<br />

May ‘speechless’ after big win<br />
SEBASTIAN MAY stormed<br />
home to win the biggest<br />
title of his young career –<br />
the New Zealand Amateur<br />
Championship.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 17-year-old Clearwater<br />
player beat Auckland’s Steven<br />
Van Heerden 6&5 in the 36-hole<br />
final at Hamilton Golf Club – St<br />
Andrews Course, to write his<br />
name next to Danny Lee, Stuart<br />
Jones, Walter Godfrey, and Brian<br />
Silk, who all won at the venue.<br />
After making golf his primary<br />
focus earlier this year, May<br />
struggled to comprehend he had<br />
won the amateur championship<br />
and has written his name alongside<br />
some New Zealand golfing<br />
legends.<br />
“I’m pretty speechless. It’s<br />
pretty unreal – I don’t think it’s<br />
sunk in just yet,” he said after his<br />
victory.<br />
<strong>The</strong> St Andrew’s College<br />
student beat Glenn Solomann,<br />
Dominic Brettkelly, Harry<br />
Goakes and Tom Lee to get to<br />
the final. <strong>The</strong> final started off as<br />
a close affair with both players<br />

the line-up of sporting stars<br />

charity golf tournament at<br />

Sir Bob, 87, has been an avid<br />
supporter of the previous two<br />
tournaments. But this year<br />
he will tee off<br />
with former<br />

Olympians,<br />

cricket bowler put the accelerator<br />
down and birdied four of the<br />
next nine holes to establish an<br />
insurmountable lead. He quickly<br />
found himself dormie 6, and<br />
calmly rolled in a 15-foot putt to<br />
win on the 31st.<br />
With school exams just around<br />
the corner, May was tossing up<br />
a couple of weeks ago whether<br />
he was going to play this event.<br />
He certainly didn’t anticipate<br />
reaching the final as he and<br />
his mother needed to find new<br />
Golfing with the <strong>Star</strong>s<br />
tournament is one of the most<br />
popular events on the golfing<br />
calendar.<br />
Said event organiser and<br />
BrainTree board member<br />
Brendan Prendergast: “<strong>The</strong><br />
response is phenomenal. We<br />
have a waiting list of both stars<br />
and players wanting to be part of<br />
the tournament where all funds<br />
raised go to BrainTree, the first<br />
wellness centre of its kind in the<br />
country to support people with<br />
neurological conditions.<br />
“Every one of the stars playing<br />
or volunteering at the event, as<br />
well as those competing in the<br />
four person teams, supports<br />
the BrainTree cause. Such is the<br />
demand for spots that we have<br />
accommodation for the final<br />
day, as they thought they would<br />
already be at home.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> goal was to make the top<br />
32 for the match play when I<br />
decided to play. I have a couple<br />
of exams lined up next week. I<br />
wasn’t actually sure if I was going<br />
to play this week – I’m glad I<br />
did,” he said.<br />
His mother Paula followed<br />
him every day while his older<br />
brother and sister Zach and<br />
Maddie watched from afar, as<br />
increased the size of the field<br />
from 25 teams to 32.”<br />
Prendergast said each team<br />
will be allocated a player from 32<br />
current and past legends of their<br />
various sports.<br />
Newcomers to the tournament<br />
include former Olympians,<br />
rowing gold medallist Eric<br />
Murray and one of the country’s<br />
best ever<br />
swimmers Moss<br />
Burmester, and<br />
Rugby World<br />
Cup winning<br />
Black Ferns Amy<br />
du Plessis and<br />
Alana Bremner.<br />
Amy du<br />
Plessis<br />
they are in college in the US pursuing<br />
their own golf careers. He<br />
admitted the victory still might<br />
not give him the ‘best golfer in<br />
the family’ title but said it’s a<br />
positive step in his development.<br />
“I’m not sure they would be<br />
happy with me claiming that<br />
title,” he said.<br />
“It’s certainly a step in the<br />
right direction. I’ll have a bit<br />
of a break over the summer<br />
and will try and play as many<br />
tournaments as I can next year.”<br />
Other former<br />
top liners include<br />
rugby’s Andy Ellis,<br />
cricket’s Nathan<br />
Astle and<br />
former Warrior<br />

the 2022 Commonwealth Games<br />
in Birmingham, and<br />
New Zealand sprinter Rosie<br />
Elliott.<br />
“We are aiming to raise more<br />
than $150,000 from the event<br />
to support BrainTree. Last year<br />
we raised a whopping $120,000<br />
more than double that at the<br />

In his first start since<br />
turning professional,<br />
Kobori finished with a<br />
superb final round of 66<br />
on the Nudgee course<br />
which included an eagle<br />
on the fourth, a par 5.<br />
His 17 birdies and<br />
an eagle over the four<br />
rounds was the second<br />
best of the tournament.<br />
Kobori pocketed just<br />

DIABETES AWARENESS<br />
Diabetes Christchurch - Supporting<br />
<strong>The</strong> Diabetes Christchurch Society’s theme for World Diabetes Month, <strong>November</strong><br />
<strong>2023</strong> is “Education to Protect Tomorrow” and “Access to Diabetes Care”.<br />
Now 101 years after the discovery of insulin, millions of people with diabetes<br />
around the world struggle to access the care they need. People with diabetes<br />
require ongoing care, diabetes education and support to manage their<br />
complicated condition and avoid complications.<br />
Just over 26,000 people have diagnosed diabetes in Canterbury.<br />
Diabetes Matters<br />
This campaign is to promote the<br />
importance of affordable and equitable<br />
access for all people living with diabetes<br />
and people at risk of getting type 2<br />
or gestational diabetes to be able to<br />
access essential diabetes medicines and<br />
technologies, self-management education<br />
and information they require to achieve<br />
optimal diabetes outcomes and to<br />
strengthen their capacity to prevent type 2<br />
diabetes.<br />
Fundamental Components of<br />
Diabetes Care include:<br />
• Access to Diabetes Medicines: Many<br />
people with diabetes need access to a<br />
range of suitable medicines to manage<br />
their condition well. <strong>The</strong>se still remain<br />
unavailable or unaffordable in many<br />
countries.<br />
• Access to Self-Monitoring: Blood<br />
glucose monitoring is a fundamental<br />
component of diabetes care. Many<br />
people with diabetes do not have access<br />
to the equipment and supplies they need<br />
including Blood Glucose Testing Monitors,<br />
Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) and<br />
Insulin Pumps at an affordable cost.<br />
• Access to Education and Psychological<br />
support: People living with diabetes need<br />
ongoing diabetes education and mental<br />
support to manage their condition well.<br />
• Access to Healthy Food and a Safe<br />
Place to Exercise: People living with or<br />
at risk of diabetes need access to healthy<br />
food and a place to exercise. Both are<br />
fundamental components of diabetes care<br />
and prevention.<br />
What is Diabetes<br />
Diabetes is the result of the body not<br />
creating enough insulin to keep blood<br />
glucose (sugar) levels in the normal range<br />
(between 4 and 8). Everyone needs some<br />
glucose in their blood, but if it’s too high it<br />
can damage your body over time.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two most common types of diabetes<br />
are type 1 and type 2.<br />
Type 1 Diabetes is an ‘auto-immune’<br />
condition where the body attacks the<br />
insulin producing cells in the pancreas.<br />
Insulin must therefore be delivered several<br />
times daily by injection or insulin pump.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is no known cause and no cure to<br />
date.<br />
In Type 2 Diabetes your body makes<br />
insulin but it isn’t used efficiently. This<br />
is also called insulin resistance. As the<br />
condition progresses, a lack of insulin may<br />
also develop. <strong>The</strong> most common cause<br />
is excessive body weight and not enough<br />

exercise. For many people (but not all) type<br />
2 diabetes may be prevented by making<br />
healthy food choices and staying active.<br />
Diabetes that happens during pregnancy<br />
is called Gestational Diabetes and while it<br />
usually disappears following the pregnancy,<br />
it may lead to Type 2 diabetes later in life.<br />
Symptoms of Diabetes<br />
may include:<br />
• Thirst<br />
• Passing more urine<br />
• Weight loss<br />
• Very tired<br />
• Mood changes<br />
Type 1 symptoms may<br />
also have:<br />
• Abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting<br />
• Skin infections, thrush<br />
• Extreme hunger<br />
• Poor concentration and performance<br />
Diagnosis and Treatment<br />
Diabetes is diagnosed by blood tests<br />
which can be organised through your<br />
doctor. If you are very unwell you should<br />
seek medical assistance immediately. If<br />
you have type 1 diabetes, you will need<br />
to manage your blood glucose levels<br />
with insulin. Healthy eating and physical<br />
activity will also help you stay well.<br />
With type 2 you may start with some<br />

modifications to your diet and increase<br />
exercise levels, treatment may also include<br />
some oral medications, and some people<br />
may also be placed on insulin as well.<br />
Does It Run in Families?<br />
If you have a blood relative with diabetes<br />
you are more likely to develop type 1<br />
diabetes. However Type 1 diabetes often<br />
occurs in people who have no one in their<br />
family with the condition.<br />
Is there any cure for type 1 diabetes?<br />
Currently there is no cure for type 1<br />
diabetes. <strong>The</strong>re is a lot of research going<br />
on in the field of finding a cure for Type 1<br />
diabetes.<br />

Education to Protect Tomorrow<br />
Our government needs to substantially<br />
increase investment in diabetes care and<br />
prevention. <strong>The</strong> rising number of people<br />
affected by diabetes is putting added strain<br />
on our healthcare systems. Healthcare<br />
professionals must know how to detect<br />
and diagnose the condition early and<br />
provide the best possible care; while<br />
people living with diabetes need access<br />
to ongoing education to understand their<br />
condition and carry out the daily self-care<br />
essential to staying healthy and avoiding<br />
complications.<br />
Education to Protect Tomorrow<br />
is the theme of the third year of the<br />
International Diabetes Federation World<br />
Diabetes 2021-23 campaign. Activities<br />
will focus on highlighting the need for<br />
better access to quality and relevant<br />
diabetes education from diabetes health<br />
professionals, diabetes societies’ and likeminded<br />
health organisations for all people<br />
living with diabetes.<br />
Fundraising for most charities is<br />
ongoing and hard work. We are extremely<br />
grateful to our dedicated members<br />
that have joined and given support and<br />
donations over many years. Including<br />
our advertisers in this feature and the<br />
wonderful Foundations and Trusts that<br />
continue to provide funding to our local<br />
diabetes society. Thank you all.<br />
If YOU have an idea or would like to<br />
organise a local special event as a diabetes<br />

‘It gave me a sense of hope’<br />
Care package<br />
boosts mums<br />
with sick<br />
babies<br />
Thursday, <strong>November</strong> 9, <strong>2023</strong><br />
Christchurch’s best read and largest circulating newspaper<br />
the gift that gave her hope.<br />
Soon after her newborn son<br />
Callum was admitted to the<br />
neonatal intensive car unit in<br />
June last year, Naude received a<br />
care package from charity One<br />
Mother to Another.<br />
“I was pregnant with my first<br />
baby and everything was fine<br />
as far as I knew, then all of a<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re was a lot of grieving<br />
. a lot of unknowns and a lot<br />
of worry . riding those ups<br />
and downs was really difficult.<br />
“I honestly felt like we were<br />
never going to leave the neonatal<br />
unit and I get emotional just<br />
Naude said the One<br />
Mother to Another care<br />
package was the ‘sense<br />
of hope’ she needed 18<br />
months ago when her son<br />
Callum was in intensive<br />
care.<br />
it was really hard to remain<br />
hopeful.”<br />
A few days after Callum was<br />
born prematurely, Naude was<br />
gifted the package.<br />
Said Naude: “It was just so<br />
impactful . When you’re in<br />
this sterile hospital environment<br />
where everything is new<br />
and unfamiliar and foreign to<br />
you, it was a touch of warmth<br />
and compassion.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> pack really gave me<br />
a sense of hope . it just reminded<br />
me that actually, you<br />
can do this – you’re strong and<br />
capable,” she said.<br />
Naude is now on the One<br />
Mother to Another volunteer<br />
team, which has started a<br />
crowdfunding Givealittle<br />
campaign in support of other<br />
mothers and carers who are in<br />
period.<br />
<strong>The</strong> campaign<br />
will run until<br />
<strong>November</strong> 17,<br />
with the aim of<br />
raising $7500 to<br />
fund 300 care<br />
packages.<br />
“Just knowing<br />
there are other<br />
Joy Reid<br />
backing you and rooting for<br />
you and cheering for you is so<br />
special,” said Naude.<br />
Said the charity’s co-founder<br />
and chief executive, Joy Reid:<br />
“While we all wish for health<br />
and happiness for our loved<br />
ones at Christmas, unfortunately<br />
for some, who will be<br />
“We wan them to know they<br />
are not alone.”<br />
One Mother to Another<br />
also started providing ‘Dad’s<br />
care packages in September to<br />
“recognise the father figures”,<br />
Reid said.<br />
