regular payments.

“The difficulty of sending money home

was previously a big barrier for borrowers
but since that’s been removed by using
our free service fee options, we’ve seen a
steady pick up in overseas repayments.”

One of the big due dates for student loan

borrowers overseas is September 30.

Ms Newman says now is as good a time as

Student loan borrowers based overseas
are showing a greater commitment to
paying off their debt, latest figures reveal.
Loan repayments by overseas borrowers
are 40% higher than four years ago and
as a result, this eagerness to do the right
thing is slowing the rise of debt in default.
Inland Revenue customer segment leader
Bernadette Newman says people are
becoming more aware that their student
loan obligations don’t end when they
leave the country.
“No one wants that feeling of returning
home only to find their student debt
has spiralled out of control due to non-
payment penalties and interest.
“Luckily, it’s never been easier to pay off
your student loan while working overseas.
There is a range of fee free options that
makes it much more convenient to set up
any to remind family members overseas
to log-in to their myIR accounts, check
out their balance and then encourage
them to make a dent in it.
“The smart thing to do is keep up with
small and regular instalments to avoid
having to pay late payment interest when
you default.”
Fewer borrowers are defaulting on their
loans and the rate of increase in the
amount of default debt has slowed by half
over the past four years.
“The amount of debt in default at $1.32
billion remains significant,” says Ms
Newman, “but we’re hoping that the
change in attitudes we’re seeing and
the fact more ex-students are taking
ownership of their loan balance, will slow
any further growth in that figure.
“We’re seeing the majority of the
borrowers do the right thing but there are
still some people who have consistently
avoided and ignored their loan
obligations over a long period of time.
“Inland Revenue is tracking down more of
these borrowers all the time, so it always
pays to make contact with us and get
back on track before we contact you.”

Drone testing plans in Central Otago worries local flyers

A tech start-up wants to use airspace in
Central Otago to test large drones that
could be used for long-range humanitarian
and commercial work but local pilots are
worried about safety.
Skybase in Christchurch has applied to
the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to
use restricted airspace in the skies over
Alexandra in Central Otago. But some
pilots of light aircraft are worried it will
shut them out, or even endanger them.
The firm's founder and chief executive
Michael Read said for safety reasons,
testing had to be done in a controlled
environment.
Mr Read, a former Australian Air Force
pilot, said upwards of $1 million had been
invested in Skybase. Its focus is on using
existing technology to advance the use of
drones for commercial and humanitarian
work.
Skybase wanted to use the airspace over a
565 square kilometre area above Alexandra
to test whether, for example, unmanned
drones could be used for mapping natural
disaster zones.
Mr Pearce said Skybase wanted to use
airspace that, in some wind conditions,
was the only place safe enough for light
aircraft.
The application to the CAA said the
proposed test area was designed so it
would not impose on other pilots.
Mr Read said Alexandra was their first pick
for its weather, small population and not
too much air traffic. Mr Pearce said they
were not against the idea - but how it was
being handled. Comments about air traffic
have riled some local aviators, and to a
lesser extent, the Central Otago mayor.
Tim Cadogan said the council owned
the Alexandra Aerodrome, and Skybase
seemed a bit misguided in its perception
the skies were not busy.
Mr Read said any restriction would be
temporary, but they needed community
support to continue. -RNZ

Oxfam report on the tax affairs of
multinational drug companies labelled
misleading by Inland Revenue
The Oxfam report claiming
pharmaceutical companies in New
Zealand are underpaying tax by some
$21 million completely misrepresents
the situation here, says Inland Revenue
international strategy manager, John
Nash.
“Obviously we can’t comment on
specific taxpayers but taking a global
profitability figure and applying it across
the board, as this report does, cannot
illustrate what’s really happening in this
country,” he said.
“The report tries to apply a globally
derived profit margin figure of 15-
16% to New Zealand drug company
revenue of $519m and concludes that
they have underpaid tax by $21 million.
This is clearly incorrect given the
type of operations that multinational
pharmaceutical companies actually
undertake in New Zealand,” said Mr
Nash.
He said the Oxfam methodology
applied a global average profit margin
to the New Zealand operations of
pharmaceutical companies while at the
same time acknowledging that profit
margins were not uniform all over the
world.
“The main driver of profitability in
this industry is the creation and
development of intellectual property but
such activities are not generally carried
out in New Zealand.
“It’s important to examine what
multinationals actually do in a specific
country such as New Zealand and how
value is added, before arriving at a
conclusion that insufficient taxation has
been paid. The New Zealand operations
of pharmaceutical companies are
almost entirely lower margin activities
like distribution.
“We also have a very active regulator
in Pharmac, which impacts the
profitability of pharmaceutical
companies here.”
Mr Nash said Inland Revenue is working
closely with multinationals of all kinds
operating in New Zealand to ensure
compliance as well as working with
the OECD in the collective effort to
improve compliance by multinationals
worldwide.

FAST work improves stroke outcomes Mount Ruapehu death of Indian man
The Health Minister Dr
David Clark has praised
the FAST stroke awareness
campaign, describing it
as a key tool to help more
stroke patients get the
rapid treatment they need,
while also enhancing
health equity.
His comments came
during a visit to Wellington
Regional Hospital focussing
on the FAST campaign, a
joint development between
the Ministry of Health,
the Health Promotion Agency and the
Stroke Foundation.
“This year’s campaign helps improve
equity as it focusses on increasing stroke
symptom awareness amongst Maori
and Pacific peoples, while continuing
to raise general awareness,” says David
Clark.
“Since the launch in July, I’ve noticed
the ‘FAST’ messaging throughout
New Zealand, in both English and Te
Reo Maori. It reinforces that people
should call 111 if they experience or
see someone else showing any signs of
stroke.
“Taking action and calling 111 straight
away gives people the best chance of
recovering.”
The FAST television commercial was
narrated in Te Reo Maori as well as
English, while the campaign has been
supported on social media by a number
of well-known Maori and Pacific
peoples.
After meeting the Clinical Leader
Stroke, Associate Professor Anna Ranta,
during the visit, David Clark praised the
teamwork involved in driving the FAST
campaign.
“Wellington Regional Hospital
exemplifies how all parts of the health
system can work together to give
patients the best chances of recovery
from stroke. I was also privileged to
meet patients who have recently had a
stroke and was particularly impressed
to see their resolve, and the dedication
of health professionals helping them
recover.”

Politics
Teachers are the Nation Builders
Anil Sharma
General Secretary
NZ Peoples Party
Primary and intermediate school
teachers in New Zealand staged a one-
day strike over salary rise and a bid
for smaller class sizes on August 15. It
was the first day of action called by the
members of the union of Educational
Institute after 24 years, and affected
thousands of pupils by 27,745 teachers
not being at work.
The fact is that teachers do not earn
enough to be able to buy even the
cheapest properties in Auckland. The
cost of living in areas such as Auckland
(and probably many other places) is
pretty high. No wonder teachers are
moving to cheaper areas, or out of the
profession completely.
Although the pay is one of the reasons,
there are also other reasons for leaving
teaching that is contributing to these
numbers. Wages are also low in New
Zealand compared to teacher’s wages
in most other developed nations.
The profession demands incredibly long
working hours, most of them starting
for work at 7.45 am and finishing at 5
pm. Teachers are not just dedicated
but extremely hardworking and
committed to the children despite the
stress they face handling all kinds and
temperaments of different children.
They are at an average, working until 8
or 9pm doing marking & preparation
for the following day, working the
majority of Sunday to stay on top of
the workload. The average teacher
can work up to and beyond 50 hours a
week.
People argue saying if you want a lot of
money, choose a profession that pays
a lot of money. However, teaching is a
very rewarding profession and most
dedicated teachers would never trade
their profession for any thing else
because they are passionate about
educating kids. Until teachers are paid
in line with the private sector, I imagine
this will be a general discontentment
trend for a long time.
The Deputy PM Winston Peters said on
a recent TV show that the decision to
strike for the first time in 24 years was
“hugely disappointing”. He also said
that the strike action ''does nothing for
the good of teachers and it is not going
to get them anywhere."
On the other hand, Chris Hipkins,
Minister of Education says, “I want to
let you know that this is a Government
that is listening to you”.
Is the strike justified? What could it
achieve?
This debate is huge.
For anything to change, the situation
will probably get worse before it gets
better!
The teachers are absolutely right to
strike. Alternative methods of voicing
their concerns seemed to have
fallen on deaf ears. As with many
other sectors, the need for strike
action in order to improve working
conditions and pay has been massively
increasing. I just hope we can bring
more focus to the current levels of
work conditions and crush what is
now the biggest threat to our jobs and
livelihood - privatisation.
For someone who thinks, 'If the
teachers aren't happy with their lot
then why did they choose teaching as
a profession'? and the reply is, “Be very
glad they did; your ability to read and
write weren't self-taught. Neither was
the physician or dentist you go to for
treatment, or the nurse who really saves
your life in a hospital, or the fireman
who gets you out of the burning
building or the police who come to
your aid. Teachers are the one who
help create all these professionals that
society is dependent on.
The health and wealth of any society
is to a great extent dependent on its
teachers. Since teachers generally have
high social awareness, they know there
is a shortage in the Education industry
and feel that they have a responsibility
to stay, despite the low pay. If all
teachers left the profession and the
city in search of better prospects, the
society is sure to collapse. Parents
will have to give up work and home
tutor their children or pay even more
money to childminders, and a whole
generation would miss out on an
education.
If you speak up, there are chances
you will be heard. The New Zealand
teachers have shown the way. Striking
doesn't automatically guarantee a
victory, of course. But failing to fight
back only guarantees a further retreat.
To be effective, strikes need to shut
down operations and be clear and
decisive about their support. They can
either go on rolling regional strikes
or press for a two-day national strike.
The constant mass rallies will not
just reinforce a sense of solidarity
among teachers but will also galvanise
the community support. Parents
should also come out in support of
the teachers and join to show their
solidarity.
No dates are set for further strike, but
NZPP says it will continue to support
the teachers in case the next round of
talks with the Ministry of Education
fail to make any progress. Anil Sharma
signs off saying, “The message to the
government is pretty clear. We want
them to support the teachers by paving
the way and leading New Zealand
in creating a world class education
system and in turn creating world class
professionals”.

It is irresponsible to increase fuel taxes

record high in August, further adding
to the burden placed on New Zealand
households. In what has become a
trend for this Government, it ignored
expert advice and forged ahead with its
decision to reform the legislation that

advised the Government that this move
would drive landlords out of the market

Passenger offloaded from Kolkata- DAC approves procurement of
bound flight for security violation Rs 2300cr-worth engines for T-72 tanks
A passenger was offloaded from a
Mumbai-Kolkata IndiGo flight after he
tried to enter the flight's cockpit to charge
his phone.
Following the incident, the passenger was
disembarked from the flight and taken
to the Mumbai Airport Police Station by
the airline's security staff for further legal
action.
As per reports, the passenger was let off
after questioning.
Responding to a query posed by ANI, the
airline said "While an IndiGo aircraft was
on the ground, an unruly passenger tried
to enter the cockpit stating that his mobile
needs to be charged. Following standard
operating procedures, the captain
operating 6E-395 flight from Mumbai
to Kolkata (September 24, 2018) had
initiated the offloading of the passenger
on grounds of a security violation. As per
the prescribed rules, entry into the cockpit
is prohibited."
In a similar incident, a passenger on board
a GoAir flight from Delhi to Patna on
Monday attempted to open the rear door
of the aircraft mid-air. A co-passenger
raised an alarm, after which the passenger
was intercepted by the crew.
Post-arrival, the passenger was handed
over to the Central Industrial Security
Force (CISF) for further investigation.
The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC)
accorded approval for the procurement
of 1000 engines for fitment in T-72
tanks of the Army under 'Buy and
Make' category at an approximate cost
of Rs 2300 crore.
Post the transfer of technology, most of
these engines will be manufactured by
the Ordnance Factories Board (OFB).
The engines will enhance mobility,
agility, and acceleration of T-72 tanks
making them more versatile and
effective in the battlefield.

Ready to provide India everything Pakistan - the main deterrent
on Shastri: Uzbek diplomat for peace in Afghanistan
Special envoy of Uzbekistan
President, Ilhom Nematov, on
Tuesday said that Tashkent
is always ready to assist and
provide everything to New Delhi
with regard to former Prime
Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri.
"India is always helpful. It is
an important partner for us.
Uzbekistan is ready to provide
everything for India," Nematov
told in response to a question on
whether Uzbekistanwill provide
information to India with regard
to the death of former Prime
Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri.
Shastri died in Tashkent, which
was then part of erstwhile Soviet
Union, in the early hours of
January 11, 1966, after signing
the Tashkent Accord with
Pakistan President Mohammad
Ayub Khan on January 10,
1966. He reportedly died of
heart attack, but there have been
various theories on how the former
Prime Minister passed away. Some
even suspect he died of poisoning.
With the mystery surrounding Shastri's
death, there have been demands for
declassifying documents related to his
demise.
Admired by several generations of
Dream of owning a home?
Don’t let you dream get away
Uzbeks, Shastri is remembered fondly
for the historic declaration of 1966
between India and Pakistan, which he
signed in Tashkent, shortly before his
death. The Lal Bahadur Shastri Centre
for Indian Culture, which works under
the Indian Council for Cultural Relations
was established in Tashkent in 1995
and has been a household name in
Uzbekistan for its cultural activities.

International News
A London-based think tank recently
concluded that the primary hindrance
for peace in Afghanistan is Pakistan.
Speaking at a seminar organised by
The Democracy Forum (TDF), titled
'Afghanistan-the Challenges Ahead' on
September 13, Lord Bruce, the President
of the TDF said that Afghanistan's
unique set of challenges reflects and
reinforces the circumstances of its
historical geography.
Afghanistan's Ambassador Tayeb Said
Jawad appreciated western countries
for their help in Afghanistan and
underscored that a practical strategic
approach to peace in Afghanistan was
vital, adding that there was a need
to engage. Once the process began,
Jawad opined that there would be rapid
progress.
Meanwhile, Emily Winterbotham, a
senior research fellow at the Royal
United Services Institute, stated that
the recent escalation of attacks in
Afghanistan suggested that there were
no signs of the military campaign
stopping.
She also mentioned Pakistan as a major
obstacle to peace in Afghanistan due to
its role in the conflicts, and described
Pakistan's approach in Afghanistan
as unpredictable. Christine Fair,
another speaker, said that while she

supports the US' decision to suspend
aids to Islamabad, she also feared that
Pakistan may cut off ground line of
communications or use of airspace for
the US , used to supply Afghanistan's
national security forces. She also
mentioned that Pakistan had disallowed
Afghanistan port facilities, thereby
hindering movement of goods through
Pakistani territories.
She was also very critical about the
China Pakistan Economic Corridor
(CPEC), and said it was fomenting
corruption.
Questions were raised on the role of
India and Pakistan in Afghanistan,
to which Winter Botham opined that
Pakistan would not be happy with a
peace process that would not allow it to
have a strategic depth in Afghanistan.
Similarly, Fair stated that she had only
contempt for those who respected
the role of the Pakistan Army in geo-
political affairs, as professional armies
did not wage coups or run countries
behind the scenes. A heated discussion
also ensued when a member of the
audience accused Pakistan of being
responsible for thousands of murders in
the country through its support to the
Haqqani and other terrorist groups.
The seminar was held at the Institute of
Advanced Legal Studies, London.

Tax Working Group publishes Interim Report
The Tax Working Group is updating the
public on its progress and thinking with
the publication of its Interim Report
today.
Chair Sir Michael Cullen says that the
Group has conducted a wide-ranging
review in order to assess the structure,
fairness, and balance of the tax system.
The Group has also brought a broad
conception of wellbeing and living
standards to its work – including a
consideration of Te Ao Maori concepts
and perspectives on the tax system.
Thousands of New Zealanders –
including iwi, businesses, and unions
– have engaged with the Group over
the past months. “The thousands of
public submissions have given us a clear
indication of the key challenges and
opportunities for the tax system,” says Sir
Michael.
“We see clear opportunities to improve
the balance of the system by introducing
environmental taxes, while measures to
increase tax compliance would increase
the fairness of the system. We have also
identified important issues regarding the
treatment of capital income in the tax
system.”
The highlights of the interim report
include:
• The taxation of capital income. The
Group’s work on capital income is not
yet complete. The Interim Report sets
out two potential options for extending
Market Warms up as Prices Increase and KiwiBuild Grows
The market is beginning to loosen its
winter blues as we head into spring with
some good news coming from REINZ
that indicate the local market may be
shaking off its trend of decreasing prices,
as well as another twenty-five houses
being added to the KiwiBuild projects to
help get first-home buyers back into the
market.
Property Market Warms Up for Spring
Auckland housing market is showing
signs of shaking off its winter chill as the
median house price for Auckland saw its
first year-on-year increase in six months
according to the Real Estate Institute of
New Zealand, rising 1.4% to $852,000 in
August.
The increases have been following the
trend of homeowners looking to the
outer suburbs for cheaper properties,
with solid increases including Manukau
(10.1%) and Waitakere Cities (5.1%). In
contrast, the North Shore saw a fall of
-14.6% year-on-year, with a median of
$915,000 – the lowest has been since
January 2016.
This trend of outer lining suburbs having
major increases has been a result of
first home buyers looking for affordable
homes to enter the market. REINZ chief
capital income taxation: extending the
tax net to include gains on assets that
are not already taxed; and taxing deemed
returns from certain assets (known as
the risk-free rate of return method of
taxation). Feedback on these options
will inform the recommendations in
the Group’s Final Report in February
2019. The Group is not recommending
the introduction of wealth taxes or land
taxes.
Environmental and ecological outcomes.
The Group sees significant scope for
the tax system to sustain and enhance
New Zealand’s natural capital. Short-
term opportunities include expanding
the Waste Disposal Levy, strengthening
the Emissions Trading Scheme, and
advancing the use of congestion charging.
• Housing affordability. The Group has
found that the tax system is not the
primary cause of unaffordable housing
in New Zealand but is likely to have
exacerbated the house price cycle. The
Group’s forthcoming work will include
consideration of the housing market
impacts of the options for extending
capital income taxation.
• GST. The Group is not recommending
a reduction in GST, or the introduction
of new GST exceptions. Instead, the
Group believes that other measures (such
as transfers) will be more effective in
supporting those on low incomes.
• Business taxation. The Group is
executive Bindi Norwell predicted that
above average warmer weather in the
final months of winter also played a part
in the increase.
Nationwide, the median house price has
also seen an increase of 3.6% year-on-
year to $549,000. Excluding Auckland, the
increase across New Zealand was even
greater with a 6.2% annual increase from
$428,500 to $455,000.
Properties sold in Auckland however saw
a decrease in August from 1837 to 1792
compared to last year.
KiwiBuild Continues to grow
Twenty-five apartments in Onehunga
have been added to the KiwiBuild
initiative as the Government enlists a
private developers' plans to bolster its
KiwiBuild total. The @340 Onehunga
properties will be available to eligible
KiwiBuild buyers in August 2019
and includes six studio apartments
priced from $380,000, 12 one-bedroom
apartments priced from $490,000, and
seven two-bedroom apartments priced at
$600,000.
Housing Minister Phil Twyford described
the apartments as being built to
specifications to minimise ongoing
not recommending a reduction in the
company rate or the introduction of a
progressive company tax. The Group is
still forming its views on the best ways
to reduce compliance costs and enhance
productivity.
• The administration of the tax system.
The Group has identified several
opportunities to improve tax collection
such as increasing penalties for non-
compliance as well as recommending a
single Crown debt collection agency to
ensure all debtors are treated equally.
A taxpayer advocate service is also
recommended to assist small businesses
in disputes with Inland Revenue.
Sir Michael says that extending the
taxation of capital income will have a
range of advantages and disadvantages.
The Group is still weighing up these
issues and will come back with firm
recommendations in its Final Report in
February 2019.
“Extending the taxation of capital income
will have many benefits,” says Sir Michael.
“It will improve the fairness and integrity
of the tax system; it will improve the
sustainability of the revenue base; and
it will level the playing field between
different types of investments. Yet the
options for extending capital income
taxation can be complex, resulting in
higher compliance and administration
costs.
“We have made some good progress in
maintenance costs and maximise living
space, and include additional hidden
costs such as blinds, washer/dryers and
dishwashers for the first home buyers.
As with all KiwiBuild homes, only eligible,
pre-qualified buyers can enter the ballots,
and those who are successful will need
to pay a 10 per cent deposit, and the
rest when the apartment are finished.
Competition is heating up among the
banks to lend to KiwiBuild buyers as ASB
Bank announced this month that some
participants may only need a 5% deposit.

setting out the main choices and options
– but there is still a great deal of work to
do before we provide our Final Report in
February.”
The Group’s Final Report will provide
full recommendations on all the issues
examined by the Group, including the
rates and thresholds for income tax.
“The Group will be mindful of the
distributional impacts of any changes
it recommends in its final report. It
also recognises that some people may
need time to transition to the new
arrangements. “It’s also worth pointing
out that any extension of capital income
taxation would apply from a future date
and would not have a retrospective
element.
“Everyone on the Group believes we have
a unique opportunity to improve the tax
system. We are all determined to deliver
recommendations in February that
will make a positive difference for New
Zealanders,” says Sir Michael.
Last month, Kiwibank announced it
required only 10% deposit on KiwiBuild
homes.
Some of the eligibility criteria for
KiwiBuild includes being a first-time
buyer, being a New Zealand citizen or a
permanent resident, having an income
of no more than $120,000 for a single
purchaser, or no more than $180,000
for more than one purchaser, and must
live in and own home for three years
minimum.

flakes
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 2 tsp amchoor powder
• (dried mango powder)
Wash and thoroughly dry the okra (kitchen roll is great for this).
Remove the tops and slice the okra in half lengthways. Place the coriander seeds and red chilli into
the pestle and mortar and pound until you have a coarse powder, then leave to one side.
Heat the oil in a wok or non-stick pan on a medium heat, then stir in the sliced onions and cook
until they just begin to brown.
Add the okra and fry for about ten minutes, stirring now and then.
Add the salt, turmeric along with the coriander and chilli mixture. Reduce the heat and leave the
okra to cook for five more minutes (do not cover the pan).
Once cooked, remove from the heat, sprinkle with garam masala and dust with the armchoor
powder to serve.
Served with:
If you like to okra fairly crisp but if you prefer them slightly more soft continue to cook them for a
little longer. These make a great accompaniment to any saucy dish and add a lovey contrast.

PM Jacinda has brief talk on
tariffs with Trump at UN
(Continued from pg. 1)
Ms Ardern remained expressionless
during Donald Trump's half hour speech
this morning in which he lashed out
at Iran. He told world leaders that
the regime in Iran was corrupt and
its leaders sowed chaos, death and
destruction.
"They do not respect their neighbours
or borders, or the sovereign rights of
nations, instead Iran's leaders plunder
the nation's resources to enrich
themselves, and to spread mayhem
across the Middle East and far beyond."
Donald Trump said the US planned
to impose further sanctions on Iran
and called on all nations that import
Iranian crude oil to cut their purchases
substantially.
Mr Trump's speech continued his
direction of taking making the United
States more inward looking and
promoting patriotism over globalism.
He also said the US would provide
no support or recognition to the
International Criminal Court.
"As far as America is concerned the ICC
has no jurisdiction, no legitimacy and
no authority."
Mr Trump also said his country would
reconsider all its foreign aid.
"The United States is the greatest giver
in the world, by far, of foreign aid, but
few if anything give anything to us, that
is why we are taking a hard look at US
foreign assistance.
"Moving forward we are only going to
give foreign aid to those who respect us
and frankly are our friends."
Trump remarks no surprise
Ms Ardern said later Mr Trump had
made similar remarks before and she
was not surprised by his comments to
the UN.
"He obviously takes a very particular
view around issues of sovereignty,
multilateralism and of course Iran, I
don't think that would have surprised
anyone today.

contractors have been caught dumping
rubble from road works into a stream
that feeds into Whangarei Harbour.
The agency has been forced to clean up
its act after a local MP raised the matter
with Northland Regional Council.
National MP for Whangarei Shane Reti
was contacted by a constituent worried
about a number of problems to do with
roading near his house, which backs
onto State Highway 1, about 15 minutes
from the city.
The resident showed the MP the

Wet winter could result in veggie shortages - grower
A wet winter could lead to a vegetable
shortage over winter, warns one of New

of potatoes a year, similar volumes of
onions and 5000 tonnes of carrots on
farms in Northland, South Auckland,
Waikato, Ohakune and Canterbury.
General manager for supply Brent
Wilcox said continuous rain stopped the
ground from drying out and that had
impacted vegetable quality.
"Crops become very waterlogged, so
they start to deteriorate in terms of their
skin finish and cosmetic appeal, but also
it starts to take it's toll in terms of rots.
So the recovering levels are a lot lower
than what we would have hoped for," he
said.

"They still had fluorescent markings on

Dr Reti and the local who raised the

Roading was a pollutant in the stream

Dr Reti immediately contacted

on to the transport agency.
The council told him the rubble was
promptly removed, and the agency made
it clear to its staff and contractors that
the situation was unacceptable.

The wet ground was very hard to work
with - a few tractors had got stuck and
some work had to be delayed, he said.
"Usually when you have late planting
the crops don't mature and yield as
productive as they could do because
their season has been short-tailed some
level, so we'd expect crop yields to be
relatively low as a consequence."
Mr Wilcox said this could affect the

Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly
said that a coach should take a back seat

football team. Cricket is a captain's game
and the coach has to take a back seat,"
the 46-year-old said at an event here on
Monday.
Furthermore, Ganguly quipped that
if given a chance, he would like to ask
the Indian cricket team's head coach,
Ravi Shastri who picks the team, him or
Rohit Sharma. Ganguly also said that he
