Fuel pricesst to go up from 1 July

It’s official! A 10 cent per litre Auckland Regional Fuel Tax on all grades of petrol and diesel purchased within the greater Auckland region will come into effect on Sunday 1st July 2018. This tax will be 10 cents per litre but adding the GST charge to it will make the overall increase to 11.5 cents per litre. The average price in Auckland region is expected to be in the range of $2.30 per litre. The Auckland Regional Fuel Tax has been confirmed to help fund some of the Auckland’s infrastructure projects. There are some exemptions to this increase where you could claim back your increased tax such as fuel being used in power generation, rail and aviation, commercial marine or for the ‘non-registered’ off road vehicles, plants

or equipment. There are situations where increased tax will be able to be claimed back, such as fuel used in power generation, commercial marine, rail and aviation or for that used by ‘’nonregistered’’ off-road vehicles, and plant and equipment. Further details can be obtained from New Zealand Transport Agency. The new Fuel Tax boundary lies past Wellsford and Mangawhai to North and past Pukekohe, Waiuku and to the South till Bombay Hills. For company vehicles you still can save money on every fill with a discounted fuel card from various service providers. This is possible because most service providers have affiliations with major fuel providers which can give you discounts ranging from 9-11 cents per litre plus

GST, depending on which company you choose. Some other on road services can also be added to this plan. The Legislation to introduce a process for establishing a regional fuel tax, initially for the Auckland region, was introduced into Parliament on 22 March 2018 by Transport Minister Phil Twyford. The Land Transport Management (Regional Fuel Tax) Amendment Bill (the Bill) introduces a mechanism to raise funds for transport infrastructure programmes that would otherwise be delayed or not funded. The Bill will help Auckland Council address the transport funding challenge in Auckland and meet the transport needs of its growing population and the corresponding urban development.

Cover Story New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern introduces baby

Neve te Aroha to the world Jacinda Ardern, prime minister of New Zealand, announced on Sunday she had named her new-born daughter Neve Te Aroha as she prepared to leave hospital amidst an outpouring of public excitement.

Ms Ardern appeared before dozens of reporters and a flurry of camera flashes at Auckland City Hospital in her first appearance since giving birth, thanking the public for their support as her threeday-old daughter slept in her arms. “We really just wanted to say thank you and that we’re all doing really well. Sleep deprived, but really well,” she said. Ms Ardern, 37, became New Zealand’s youngest prime minister when she

took office through a coalition deal last year after an inconclusive election. She has now become the first woman in the country’s history to give birth while in office.

There were lots of contests happening all over the country to guess the baby’s name, sex and weight. The baby girl was born 3.31 kg and the Prime Minister kept it simple delivering in the country’s largest public hospital on Thursday afternoon, with her partner Clarke Gayford at her side. The couple had settled on the baby’s first name, Neve, after she was born, her mother said, explaining that it means “bright and radiant” and “snow”, which reflected that she was born in

the middle of winter during the nation’s indigenous Maori new year and Winter Solstice - the shortest day of the year. Her second name, Te Aroha, which means “love” in Te Reo Maori, one of the country’s national languages, was a nod to the many Maori iwi, or tribes, that had offered names as a gift to Ms Ardern while she was pregnant. “’Te Aroha’ was our way of reflecting the amount of love this baby has been shown even before she arrived,” Ms Ardern said. The island nation, with a population of 4.5 million, was in the grips of a baby-induced glow of optimism in recent days with many social media users dubbing the baby the “Prime Miniature” while they waited for her name to be announced. The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra recorded a version of Brahm’s lullaby “Cradle Song” translated into Te Reo Maori, and Auckland’s tallest building, the Sky Tower, was lit up pink for three

nights in honour of the occasion. Support also flooded in from around the world, with Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, whom Ms Ardern met in London in April, sending an emailed message of congratulations and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeting at Ms Ardern: “Pro tip, Jacinda: Briefing notes make excellent bed time stories.” Ms Ardern will take the next six weeks off, leaving her deputy Winston Peters in charge, and return to work in early August when Mr Gayford will care for the baby full-time.

“Hopefully these things that in these moments now are...a novelty...one day they aren’t new any more,” Ms Ardern said. “I hope for little girls and boys that actually there’s a future where they can make choices about how they raise their family and what kind of career they have that are based on what they want and what makes them happy.”

Making a positive difference

The abuse of elders by caregivers is a worldwide issue. In 2006 the International Network for Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA) designated June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) and an increasing number of events are held across the globe on this day to raise awareness of elder abuse and highlight ways to challenge such abuse. Bharitya Samaj celebrated this day on Saturday, June 9, 2018 by hosting an event to honour ‘the respectable elders’. There was an overwhelming response with more than 250 Seniors, many dignitaries and volunteers to commemorate the day. Many dignitaries were present to grace the occasion. To name a few Hon. Michael Wood, List MP Hon Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi, National List MP Ms Parmjeet Parmar, Labour List MP Ms. Priyanca

Radhakrishnan, Honorary Consul of Fiji Mr. Harish Lodhia, Honorary Consul of India, Mr Bhav Dhillon, GOPIO President Ms. Shefali Mehta QSM, Bhartiya Mandir President Mr Hemant Prashar, Shri Narinder Singla and executive committee members of Bhartiya Samaj. Everyone present there thoroughly enjoyed their day with the precious learnings from different aspects of the flow of short plays, videos, acts and speeches. Apart from refreshments and snacks served in the beginning, there was also a sumptuous lunch towards the end for everyone and all members savoured it completely. The event was yet another milestone achieved by Bhartiya Samaj Charitable Trust in their efforts to socially engage the community.

Refreshments were served to the participants after the event. International Day of Yoga is celebrated annually on 21 June since its inception in 2015. An international day for yoga was declared unanimously by the United Nations General Assembly. Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice originated in India.

Community Elder abuse - an epidemic in South Asian Community It comes out as a very sad and stark reality that elder abuse is a very widely spread epidemic among the South Asian community but due to cultural and social stigma and pressures it is always under reported.

Asian Communities at their Onehunga premises since 1994. Their primary motto is to recognize, prevent and respond to abuse and neglect of older people of South Asian Communities and to ensure their wellbeing.

United Nations observes 15th June as International Elder Abuse Awareness Day worldwide. This is done to ensure, that the respective governments, agencies, community groups and society at large are reminded of safety, security and wellbeing of our senior members of society.

Shanti Niwas took the initiative to combat this problem in 2012 by staring “Khushi” programme that is elder abuse and neglect prevention service. It is a free and confidential service.

New Zealand’s one of the oldest community organisation, Shanti Niwas Charitable Trust organised a programme on 15th of June at Auckland War Memorial Hall, to commemorate the Elder Abuse Awareness Week from 15-22 June. Shanti Niwas Charitable Trust is a not for profit organisation and runs day programmes for the elders of South

Shanti Niwas runs “Khushi” to increase the awareness about growing incidence of abuse & neglect amongst older people, mostly done by the people who are closest to them such as family, friends or on whom they depend. Older people of South Asian Community aged 60 years or above are the target group, who are more vulnerable to such abuses that can be emotional, psychological, financial or physical.

Mrs. Nilima Venkat, General Manager, Shanti Niwas Charitable Trust, said a lot of elder abuse issues in our community can be eliminated by minimising the living in isolation in a new country with little support. While new migrant families are caught up in sorting out their jobs, home and their kid’s education, parents get neglected the most in the process. Among Indian community keeping families together is also a cherished goal, so we try to balance and be inclusive as much as possible. A cultural programme was also organised by Shanti Niwas members and other invited groups.

A lot of community leaders apart from Shanti Niwas trust Chairman Mr Ashok Gaur and a large number of Shanti Niwas members, present there were Ms Jenny Selesa, Ethnic Minster, Ms Priyanca Radhakrishnan, MP, Mr Kanwaljit Baxi, MP, Mr Bhav Dhillon, Hon Counsel of India, Josephine Bartley, Councillor Maungakiekie, Mr Don Allan, Community Constable, Mr Roshan Nauhria and Mr Hemant Prashar from Bharatiya Mandir and many others. More details about the delivery of Khushi service by Shanti Niwas Charitable Trust is available at www. shantiniwas.org.nz or (09) 6221010

Bharatiya Mandir Celebrates Silver Jubilee 25th Anniversary in style

T

he first purpose built Hindu temple of New Zealand Bharatiya Mandir, which was opened to people in 1993 has completed 25 years of its existence this month. To commemorate this very significant occasion, a series of programmes was planned for the whole month of June. During this period a nine days Bhagwat discourse, Bhajan Sandhya, launching of Silver Jubilee souvenir, several cultural events and Maha Yagna on final day, to conclude the event took place.

The two main events in this series were, the launching of the Silver Jubilee Souvenir and the regular three days Patotsava or anniversary celebration.

Trustee Chairman Mr Roshan Nauhria, who was the main person behind the idea of having a Hindu Mandir in New Zealand, got emotional in his address, remembering the time 32 years back when he first thought of the Mandir and the problems and the hurdles it faced. He said he was grateful to all his friends and colleagues who helped him in fulfilling this dream project for the people of Indian origin.

Later, Silver Jubilee mementos were presented to Mandir’s volunteers, long time members and other contributors. The festivities ended of a very high and happy note and all the Mandir members involved in the event, were excited that all their hard work and countless number of hours they spent for the preparation for the Silver Jubilee Celebration, have finally paid off with all devotees appreciating the entire Patotsava programme.

New taxes to jeopardise cost of living

The Labour led Government campaigned in the 2017 General Election with promises that they will not introduce any new taxes.

I don’t think I will be wrong in saying that they have broken all their preelection promises. They have formed a host of working groups and introduced new taxes to pay for these working groups. At a time when petrol prices are peaking we have a government that wants to fill its own coffers at the expense of everyday families. The ripple effect of higher oil prices due to taxation will without doubt affect our food and general items of everyday usage. This may well start the cycle of people buying less and our economy slowing down. Small and medium enterprises will start producing less and employ less people.

A number of our small and medium enterprises are located in my electorate of Manukau East. During the recent Parliamentary recess break I met quite a few of our SME’s who have shared that their businesses have started to suffer because of this Governments policy changes. Further, the crippling effects of this Labour Government’s taxes are not limited to our small to medium enterprises.

People in my electorate of Manukau East that I recently met during an event have shared with me that it appears the purpose of them working hard is not to support their families rather it is to pay taxes so that this ideology led government can continue to pay for its working groups. Several people from the migrant communities too have shared similar thoughts. Their thinking on moving to New Zealand is to work hard, contribute to

the local economy and save for a better future. However, when all their hard work has to go towards paying taxes then one loses the motivation.

New Zealanders deserve better decision making from their Government, such decision making certainly doesn’t involve paying extra taxes for ideological reasons.

During the National Party’s time in Government we provided record investment towards new roading projects across the country. We invested immensely in public transport as well as new transport technologies. It was our far sightedness that delivered us the Victoria park Tunnel, the Western Ring Route and the improved Waterview connection in Auckland It was our efforts that delivered widening of lanes on the Southern motor way or the urban cycleway or the Puhoi to Warkworth project. We need a mixture of roads and improved public transport for New Zealanders.

Pay equity settlement for mental health and addiction support workers Health Minister Dr David Clark is pleased to announce an estimated 5,000 mental health and addiction support workers will soon receive the same pay rates as care and support workers. “This Government is committed

to pay equity and lifting wages, particularly for our lowest paid workers,” said David Clark. In an agreement with unions and employers, the Government will extend the Care and Support Workers (Pay Equity) Settlement Act

to include mental health and addiction support workers. Nearly half will get an increase of more than $3 per hour which means full-time workers will be paid approximately an extra $120 a week before tax. A further 20 percent of workers

what they deserve will help deliver a robust workforce,” says Dr Clark.

The new pay scale reflects workers’ qualifications and experience. It will be backdated to 1 July 2017.

The $173.5 million settlement extension will be implemented over a five-year term and funded through an increase to Vote Health.

“This agreement puts right a problem created by the previous Government, which deliberately excluded mental health and addiction workers from the Care and Support Workers settlement. These workers often support New Zealanders when they are most vulnerable, and they deserve a fair go. This Government has delivered that,” says Dr Clark. “Ensuring our mental health and addiction workers are paid

“I would like to thank the Public Service Association, the Council of Trade Unions and provider representatives for the crucial and constructive role they played in successfully negotiating the agreement,” Dr Clark said. “And my thanks also go to the employers who will implement the new wage structure and pay the new rates to their staff.”

Greetings to Bhartiya Mandir It was my great pleasure to attend and speak at the 25th anniversary commemorations of Bharatiya Mandir on Sunday 17 June alongside my Labour colleague Priyanca Radhakrishnan.

State-of-affairs... New Zealand People’s Party has been raising concerns and this is yet another windfall this week by the ineffective and inefficient handling of law and order related problems being faced by the Indian community at large. A national system under strain, law and order and rules under threat, sociopolitical challenges making it harder to grapple with normal day to day living and the threat of protection of businesses from the criminals. Gita Patel and her son Siddharth Patel were stabbed multiple times in the incident at Hylite Dairy in Grey Lynn on Tuesday evening. Siddharth Patel received serious stab wounds in the incident while Gita Patel received wounds to her stomach and head. They were taken to Auckland Hospital where they underwent surgery. While one person was arrested, a second

or third person waiting outside, fled the scene and ran down Turangi Rd. Not just limited to Auckland, on Saturday night, Brookfield Superette in Tauranga was targeted by a masked man in black wielding a large knife and demanding money. Dairy owner Baldish Kaur was working alone and ran into a back room as soon as she saw the weapon. The offender unsuccessfully tried breaking into the till, fleeing empty-handed soon after. Kaur escaped unharmed physically, but the ordeal has left her broken and disillusioned. From the time Kaur opened the shop three years ago, she has been targeted three times. “The first time with a gun, the second time with hammers and third time with a knife.” Our voice is fairly unheard, on the government and other fronts. Police are facing a myriad of challenges they are

not in many cases equipped to tackle. It is not clear if adding another 100 police officers also will make much difference. Not much has been said or done by the present government on the law and order situation which is not looking like its getting any better. A 900 million increase in funds for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade in the government’s first budget has been announced that will enable the ministry to employ an additional 50 diplomats, reopen an embassy in Sweden and provide more foreign aid, mostly to the Pacific but also to United Nations. Members and supporters of NZPP are surprised that these should be the leader’s priorities. A need for more diplomats, embassies and foreign aid ? Really, are these the most prominent issues we are facing currently, or do we have other priorities that we need to look at, especially the safety of our women and children first ?

International News 7 out of 9 Indians swept in flash flood rescued by Nepali Army

PM Oli reaches Nepal after sixday China visit After winding up his six-day official visit to China, Nepali Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Sunday arrived in Kathmandu.

Nepali Army rescued seven out of nine Indians swept in the flash flood” in Chitlang- Thankot route of Kathmandu. The Nepali Army took to their Facebook handle on Sunday to inform about the same. “On 9th Asar, 2075 (23rd June 2018) the sudden rainfall triggering flash flood”, in which 9 Indian en route back from the Chandragiri Hills through Chitlang-Thankot walkways, were swept away. Out of 9, 7 have been rescued unharmed by the team deployed from Bridging Division of the Nepali Army,” read the post.

“After the rescue operation the people were handed over to the Metropolitan Police Office, Thankot after providing them primary treatment,” the post added.

The incident took place when the Indians were returning back from the Chandragiri Hills, esteemed Tourism and Religious site in the outskirts of Kathmandu.

long ban on women’s driving and granting licenses to them earlier this month. A Saudi woman, who used to drive earlier outside Saudi Arabia, now drove within her native place for the first time after the ban was lifted. While unable to explain her feeling in words, she managed to say, “My eyes are everywhere. I am not used to this.. I need not ask anyone to take me around. It is very important for us to drive. A lot of us don’t need to drive. I used to drive and do my own things and now I could do it again.” She then drove to her father’s house who was also delighted to see her independently driving the vehicle. One of her second-generation female relatives also expressed her happiness and said, “It feels natural for them to do something (driving) that every other woman is doing in this world.” The religiously conservative kingdom,

which has some of the world’s tightest restrictions on women, started issuing its first driving licences for female motorists earlier this month, as per Al Jazeera. The move was ordered by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman last September with an aim to reform the country. Though the government has taken a positive move it is still a long way for Saudi women to have equal driving rights as men. “The fees for having lessons are six times more than men. This is one of the restrictions and this makes women not being able to access driving licenses in a fast way, in addition to the limited driving schools in Saudi Arabia,” Al Jazeera quoted Suad Abu-Dayyeh, Middle East consultant for the Equality Now non-governmental organisation as saying. A special driving school for women is also in the pipeline.

Saddam Hussein’s 30 million dollars yacht repurposed as a hotel Deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s 30 million dollars, 270foot presidential yacht, named the Basrah Breeze, will now operate as a hotel facility for Iraqi maritime pilots shipping in and out of Basra. Despite having a presidential suite and luxurious guest rooms, Hussein never stepped onboard the yacht, which was built for him in 1981, as reported by NBC. Following a court battle, the Iraqi government reclaimed the vessel in 2010 but struggled to find a buyer considering its huge price tag.

The yacht has a presidential suite, 17 smaller guest rooms, a clinic, and 18 cabins for crew. For the past two years, the yacht has accommodated marine researchers from Basra University.

Indian News Cleaning drive initiated in Dal Lake ahead of tourist season The Lakes and Waterways Development Authority (LAWDA) on Monday initiated a massive mission to clean the famous Dal Lake here. Unbridled growth of weeds particularly in the Hazratbal Basin of the lake is taking a heavy toll on the fragile ecosystem of the water body. The thick growth of lily weeds also hampers the movement of shikaras, which are light,

flat-bottomed boats, and affects the overall aesthetic beauty of the lake. The mission, therefore, aims to clear weeds like lily pads, creepers, algae, water plants and other waste material present in the water body. Being one of the most noteworthy tourist destinations, Dal Lake attracts a large number of tourists from across the world every year.

“It contributes majorly to the economy of the area, having a large number of people depending on it during the tourist season,” said Ajaz Ahmed, a local resident. On a related note, peak tourist season in Kashmir started in early May and will subside towards the end of August.

Climate change: How a Hyderabad girl made a difference climate change in future, she said, “I see a lot of potential in the education sector, children are so full of hope. I want to do a long-term environment curriculum with them. I have been taking sessions with corporate employees of companies that have already sponsored me.” Hyderabad girl, Prathyusha Parakala, a software professional, was among the 90 Global Climate Force ambassadors selected to visit Antarctica, to create awareness about climate change. She was felicitated by the Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao for her achievement. Planning to spread awareness on

Parakala was selected in 2017 after which she undertook three and half month preparations to raise money and awareness. “My expedition was called as the International Antarctic expedition where we went to the seventh and last continent of the earth. Going so far wasn’t just a tour but it was a travel with a purpose. It was a climate change expedition where ambassadors around

the world came there to brainstorm our ideas to how best we can do to preserve our continent,” Parakala said.

She got to know about the expedition in 2013 when she was a fellow for ‘Teach for India’ programme. The expedition was headed by Robert Swan, the first person who has walked to both the North and the South Pole.

“The Southern Ocean is considered one of the roughest oceans especially Cape Horn. The expedition team is very strong. Every person was a stand-alone person. Before going to the expedition, we got a safety brief on the ground of things we should and should not do. The basic fitness is non-negotiable, other than that I practice Yoga,” she added.

Recalling her experience, she said her experience was extremely beautiful and reaching there was almost like an impossible situation. “My experience was extremely beautiful, but Antarctica is unlike any other place you see. It’s a week journey to reach there and you have to cross some of

She urged people to put little thought and effort in the right direction and contribute to the environment in whatever little and positive manner they can.

Business Government to reduce reliance on consultants The Government will reduce the reliance on expensive consultants and contractors, saving taxpayers many millions of dollars a year, State Services Minister Chris Hipkins said today. “The Government has made a decision to lift the ‘cap’ on core public servant numbers put in place by the previous Government,” Chris Hipkins said. “The cap was introduced at the height of the global financial crisis, but it created perverse incentives and in the following years its arbitrary nature forced the previous Government to find creative ways to get around it.

“The total cost to taxpayers of contractors and consultants up to June last year (2017) was more than $550 million*. “This is an increase of $272 million – nearly double – on the amount spent in

2008/09, before the cap was introduced. “We want to bring this spending back down over time and invest any savings in permanent staff. “In removing the cap, this government wants to see the public service re-build their in-house capability and invest in permanent and long-term staff, rather than spend millions on temporary contractors,” Mr Hipkins said. “This Government has big ambitions for the Public Service. “We want a public service with an international reputation for excellence and that means attracting and retaining the best talent to careers in the Public Service. “It’s important we invest in the Public Service because public servants are the people who deliver the vital services that improve the wellbeing of New Zealanders and their families every day.” “The most effective way to manage the

Public Service is fiscal discipline and accountability,” Mr Hipkins said.

“Lifting the cap creates incentives for agencies to find efficiency savings. It’s up to agency chief executives to demonstrate why they can no longer manage within existing budgets.” “The Government will also be held to account on public service numbers through Parliament’s select committee process and beefed up answers to annual estimates and financial review questionnaires, which asks departments to justify spending on external consultants and contractors and why internal resources could not be used. “I’ve made my expectations to the State Services Commissioner very clear and he is confident that he and agency chief executives can reduce the dependence

on consultants and contractors as we invest more in rebuilding the Public Service,” Mr Hipkins said. Service departments. Twenty two of them provided answers to Select Committee on contractors and consultancy expenditure. The total spend was $546 million). For those same agencies, the increase since 2008/09 was $272 million (99%). Information for the other seven agencies has not been published by Select Committee.

‘Smalls Sales Growths and Continued Restrictions’ Current Home Loan Restrictions to Remain

proportion of loss-making resales, up from 3.3% to 3.7%

After easing restrictions slightly early on in January, the Reserve Bank announced at the end of last month that the current property loan restrictions would remain on hold for the time being.

Overseas Investment Amendment Bill to Become Law Next Month

But economists are predicting that restrictions could be eased again by the end of this year, citing new government policies coming into effect, and investor demand for housing, as motivators for change. The Reserve Bank governor Adrian Orr said that any further decisions around restriction easing won’t be addressed until the next financial stability report is released, which is due in November. Property Sales Update The latest CoreLogic data has revealed that continued growth in property values across New Zealand netted sellers $3.1b in profit during the first three months of 2018. Data for Auckland revealed that the city continued to get the lion’s share of the country’s median profits per resale at $352,000, but also saw an increase in the

The Government is proceeding with its plans to restrict the sale of residential property to overseas buyers, Associate Finance Minister David Parker has confirmed. Parker cited figures released by Statistics NZ which highlighted the high level of house purchases by overseas buyers in New Zealand’s least affordable areas, 3.3 per cent of house ownership transfers in the March quarter were to non-citizens or non-residents - up from 2.9 per cent in the December 2017 quarter. But many who do not support the need of the ban have questioned the results of the data, suggesting that the increase of overseas purchases is a direct result of the looming ban itself. Navigating the property market can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be, working with an experienced mortgage broker can give you a valuable upper hand when navigating banks, and can save you from getting into more debt than you need to.

Business Power Boating - A Lucrative Professional Career for New Kids on the Block Power boating is no longer considered just a fun and relaxing hobby. Powerboat training is now being recognised as a full-time career option as compared to the earlier recreational boating qualification. With students flocking towards these alternative opportunities like flying or becoming pilots, youngsters are looking for something more stimulating and different from conventional professions.

Due to Powerboat Training’s strong and active promotion of the internationally recognised Royal Yachting Association powerboat syllabus, New Zealanders are now undertaking more practical onthe-water training. Andrew Flanagan who is the man behind this concept says,

“Every boater must know the basic law that vessels must operate in a counterclockwise direction on the waters. Sometimes the simplest of rules are the most important ones to remember.” That’s just one of the many rules of the water. Andrew compares navigating a boat for the first time to driving a car in a foreign country where the speed limits and road signs are different; you need to pay careful attention because everything’s new. He

gave a similar analogy to stress the point that boaters should thoroughly know the ins and outs of navigation. “The skills remain the same; once you have learned to drive a small boat, you can use the same skills for driving a much bigger vessel too. It’s not difficult at all,” he adds.

“I feel comfortable once I see that they’ve learned what they need to learn, I make it a practical hands-on experience, where I’ll actually take them out on the boat, show them the navigation equipment, how to use the ,GPS and basic rules of giving way. Handling a life-size human dummy for rescue is part of the training, and I also have them steer the vessel until they get more comfortable with it,” Andrew said. Boaters have to be hyper-aware of their surroundings and alert to who they’re sharing the water with - other boats, jet skis and swimmers. For that reason and others, it is also advisable to refrain from drinking and navigating, Andrew says, “We can offer private tuition on your boat or you can come and get training on ours. We are highly specialist providers and believe cramming 20+ people into a class deteriorates quality. All our practical courses are run with a maximum of 3 people and our classroom courses rarely exceed 9. This way, we get to know them personally and their style of boating.” They also have a Superyacht RYA Level 2 Course combined with RYA PWC jetski certificate. Powerboat Training NZ has

now created a new course combo featuring the RYA Level 2 and RYA PWC certificate which is 2 of the main qualifications required in the superyacht industry. So if one is looking for employment in the superyacht industry nationally or internationally, they will benefit immensely from these courses.

advanced, Club Safety boat (Jetski) PWC, launch cruising as well as Yachtmaster Prep Courses which is one of the commercially recognised skipper qualifications in Europe. For the not so adventurous learners, there are theory courses which are equally well designed for sailing enthusiasts.

The RYA Level 2 Powerboat course is designed for people who want to learn how to drive their boat like a professional. This qualification is valid internationally, and the student is awarded a photo ID at the end of the training which is accepted as a license in many countries around the world where a license is required to operate a boat.

In 2011 Powerboat Training NZ’s CEO Andrew Flanagan was recognised and awarded the Coastguard’s national award for enterprise and his role in promoting practical boating courses.

Their training courses include own boat tuition, Powerboat Level 1 and Level 2, intermediate and

Evading tax just got even harder uses it to provide things we all need – like hospitals and schools. That’s why the New Zealand government has joined an OECD initiative to combat global tax evasion. It’s called the Automatic Exchange of Information or AEOI.

The New Zealand government has joined an OECD initiative to combat global tax evasion. Today, money can be sent electronically anywhere in the world in the blink of an eye. This is vital to international

trade and modern economies. But some people try to use this flexibility to avoid paying the right amount of tax. Most of us know that paying the right amount of tax is important. The government

We’re one of more than 100 countries that have agreed to share foreign tax residents’ financial account information as part of AEOI. This means it will be even harder for people to try to evade tax by hiding money or investments overseas.

HOW INFORMATION SHARING WORKS Since 2017 financial institutions – like banks and some investment managers – have been collecting information from customers to figure out if they’re foreign tax residents and to support AEOI. This information includes their customers’ names, birth dates, addresses, tax residence, tax identification numbers, account details and gross income on any investments. Financial institutions will share this information with Inland Revenue each year. Then Inland Revenue will share it with each person’s home country, if it’s an AEOI partner. In return, Inland Revenue will receive financial information from AEOI

partners about New Zealand tax residents who’ve earned money overseas. WHAT COULD THIS MEAN FOR YOU? If you’re a New Zealand tax resident with a bank account or investments overseas, your information may be shared with Inland Revenue. So now’s the time to check you’re paying the right amount of tax. If you need help getting your tax right, talk with a tax agent or accountant. If you sign up for a new bank account in New Zealand, your financial institution will ask some extra questions about your tax residence.

‘Prime’ baby creates ripples around the world, but ‘crime’ wave dampens community’s spirit

June 26, 2018

Community The 25 years of glorious journey of

Bharatiya Mandir

While the whole world has welcomed the arrival of the new born to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and her partner Clarke Gayford, the Indian community in New Zealand is rejoicing the news with dampen spirit. The reason being yet another very violent and unprovoked attack on a very hard-working mother and son of Indian community, who run this dairy in Grey Lynn suburb of Auckland. The long wait of New Zealanders, came to end with an announcement by Jacinda’s partner on Facebook of their first born, a baby girl at 4.45 pm on Thursday, 21st June. As the news broke the word spread around the world with major news channels reporting it as breaking news and most news papers across the globe congratulating the couple and welcoming the new born. Many head of states from around the world wasted no time in congratulating the Prime Minister and her partner. The Queen of England was among them, with whom Jacinda Ardern had recently met. Putting aside all ideological and political difference, the deputy leader of National Party Paula Bennett moved a motion in the Parliament without any prior notice and it was passed in record time unanimously for extending couple the best wishes. Moving the motion Paula said its an exceptional day in the couple’s life, setting a precedence, that will be remembered for a long time to come, for showing a very humane, goodwill gesture to her political opponent. As a matter of fact, Jacinda Ardern is the first Prime Minister of New Zealand to give a birth to a baby while in office and only second in the world, Pakistan’s late Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto being the first in world to give birth to a baby while in office. Coincidently, it happened to be Late Benazir’s birthday on 21st June. Prime Minister Jacinda was discharged from Auckland hospital on Sunday 24th June and she spoke to the waiting media outside the hospital thanking everyone for their concern and best wishes for the new born and the family. We at Indian News, wish both mother and the baby a very good health. In a yet another brazen robbery attempt, a 16-year-old youth who entered the Hylite Dairy in Grey Lynn suburb of Auckland at around 7 in evening, waited for a customer to leave the shop and then attacked the unsuspecting duo of son and the mother with a knife resulting in serious to life threatening injuries. The insensitivity of the attacker shows that when the old mother of the boy being attacked, tried to defend him, the attacker did not spare her as well and wounded her seriously. These are all repeat occurrence, only thing changes about this is the name of victims and the place and the victims are invariably hard-working people of Indian community. I think for these repeat incidents of attacks on Indian businesses, apart from lacklustre policies and loopholes in the law, partly the community needs to be blamed because whenever any attempt is made to unite the community and to raise a collective “voice” the response from the community has been very dispiriting. We as Indian community, don’t even qualify to debate on topics such as three strike law or making tougher laws about young offenders until we are united under one umbrella and put ‘one voice’ before the authorities. We should never forget the age old saying” United we stand, divided we fall” - Yugal Parashar

However, the perplexing question iswill the temple by itself be enough? Surely this a controversial issue but let us try and find the answer through the Vedas. Every Hindu by Vedic rites should understand the significance of “Pran Pratishtha”- consecration. It is the ceremony of imparting life to the temple and the idol. The idol no longer remains a statue or a mere artwork but is the presence of Godhead truly and divinely. The temple which was anon living lifeless building until “Pran Pratishtha”, becomes animate, living and full of life. The body enlivened by the grand entrance of the soul. Thus, the deities are the soul of the temple, which is the body. Both are very essential for our devotional practise. A holy place and the living-presence of the beloved Lord in it. Thus, holding such a dignity and respect. The Supreme Lord constantly resides in the holy place. We are to pay our tributes, obeisance and offerings to the Beloved Lord with complete faith and love, not doubting for a moment “His Divine Presence”. However, because these material eyes of ours can’t perceive the real Divine form of the Lord, it is again and again reminded of the Lord’s presence through the idol. It is our faith that must be built to derive benefits from the all-pervading Lord.

Though we can’t create divine feelings with the material mind and intellect, yet if the resolution is for the Divine, then according to irrefutable rules of the spiritual realms, the reward will be the Divine. So, we see that the reward for having faithful, loving feelings of divinity in animate or inanimate will be the “Divine”. Thus, a stone idol when worshiped and paid reverence with spiritual feelings, will give spiritual rewards because Godhead Personality is Omnipresent and Omniscient. However, if one dedicates the same amount and degree of worship to a statue or a photo of a living person, one will not attain the reward of the feelings, because the person worshiped is not all-pervading or all knowing. Henceforth, we individuals are greatly blessed with a temple in the heart of the city and the deities of the Lord are placed on the alter, this Bharatiya Mandir shall become the abode of our beloved Lord. Going to the temple with our common feeling of love and service to our beloved Lord should become our aim. Thus, gathering in a common holy place, with one common feeling of divinity and offering our entire being, in service to one common Lord of all different seekers, shall be our purpose. So, shall we see that a sincere aspirant, naturally will have all the differences and lower qualities replaced by a strong spiritual quality of love, humbleness, brotherhood and tolerance. On this note, we conclude this series of Bharatiya Mandir Silver Jubilee celebrations and Mandir’s journey through all these years. We will keep you posted through our news items and articles about Mandir’s events and any other development in future.

The Veda festival started with a keynote speech by eminent journalist Mr. Venkat Raman followed by a panel discussion on ‘Good Karma, Bad Karmahow does it work’? It was followed by a tea break after which there were two concurrent workshops - One was the presentation on ‘Karma de-mystified,’ and the other was ‘Reflections’ by the speakers and participants.

Par Excellence Erum Ali meets Mandeep Kaur

The first Indian born female Police Officer in New Zealand

As Ethnic People’s Community Relations Officer Mandeep Kaur strolled through the large building, guiding me to her firstfloor office chambers, it was like following a bundle of endless energy. Giving out a radiant smile and welcoming me with a hug like candy, it seemed like we had known each other forever. I was greeted with warmth and smiles from the officers who crossed us in the corridors, as I walked along chatting with her, instantly changing my perception of the Police department. “HEY!” she smiled at the officer across her desk as we reached the office. “Are you not going away for lunch?” More jokes and introductions and then we were left alone to settle down and talk – this time a feeling of pride for me to see the first female Indian officer in the New Zealand Police. Mandeep was born in a small town in Punjab and grew up in Chandigarh. It is where in reality, she first started her dream of becoming a police officer. She was younger then, still idealistic, unaware that two decades later at the age of 33 she’d be actually transforming her dream in front of a whole new nation in New Zealand. As a grandmother of a ten months old baby (although she looks and feels 21, she says), her earliest childhood memory is that of her mother who gave her the thought of wearing the uniform. Since in those days when Mandeep was in her teens, uniform was meant only for men, realistically it was not even possible to think of it. Mandeep, still young was soon married off and became a mother. But soon after the marriage her life took a dark turn. “I had two babies, my son was 2 and daughter was 4 when I had to face domestic challenges, there was a dysfunctional marriage however I was trying hard to keep it working for the sake of my little children in it. I didn’t know anything

different. This is what is expected of me by family and relatives. This is where I belong. These are my people, it is what it is,” Mandeep would tell herself. As things got worse, she eventually took a stand and it was a delicate line. At a time when women were not allowed to break a marriage, families were not supportive of such decisions, communities were highly judgemental, her mother and children seemed to be caught in the middle of a precarious balance; as she puts it, she had to make a final choice, and she decided to leave the country alone. Mandeep’s life has seen many acts. She came to New Zealand and started driving a taxi. My separation with my children was long and it took me 6 years to get them to New Zealand,” Mandeep said. She would drive the taxi everyday till 3 am. After work, she would always sit down and share her entire day’s experiences with John, a retired Police officer who she fondly remembers as her Kiwi father. The environment was slowly building up and one day, a passenger who was a psychologist by profession started talking to her about happiness. She talked about how fulfilling our childhood dreams can sometimes give us an immense feeling of accomplishment. When John heard of this, he got the information pack the very next day, made her fill up the forms and apply for the job of a Police Officer. That’s how her practical journey towards becoming a Police officer started in 2002 at the age of 32. The journey was not easy. There were more challenges. “To pass the fitness test at that time, learning swimming was a mandatory requirement. We had to clock 50 metres under 54 seconds. I was tall, 5’ 8”, had to wear a swimming costume and had to go to public pools, which was not culturally supported. I also had to lose 20 kg to pass the fitness test”.

When she joined the force, for her the police culture was very different. So the sense of belonging did not come straight away. Things started to change as I grew into my policing experience and started to understand the organisational culture. While I was growing in the job, simultaneously the organisation also has come a long way to make ethnic officers feel warm, welcome and invited.

“I am always going to be a woman of colour but I only see myself as a police officer as long as I continue to wear the uniform,” Mandeep said. It makes no difference to me or my department and that’s that.

The happiest moment came when my mother attended the graduation ceremony. An innocent dream that my mother had in mind was knowingly or unknowingly fulfilled not by her son but by her daughter instead. Mandeep’s rebrush with academic education started again recently with a post graduate diploma in business administration. She says the beginning for anything is always hard. In the Police force, I started with frontline

Par Excellence

policing for a couple of years and then went into performing my duties for road policing, community policing and neighbourhood policing. Then I became a family violence investigator, an intelligence officer, and my current role is that of an Ethnic People’s Community Relations Officer. In this role I work with South East Asian communities, finding out about their issues and educating them about the values of Community Policing. Initially, the passion for me to join the Police was mainly to wear the uniform and catch bad people. However, I have grown in this organisation by understanding my role as a police officer which has changed to a different level now. However, family harm matters remain the key driving factor for me till today, perhaps due to my own personal background. Regarding the role of a Police Officer it has unique challenges however we are well trained to deal with those challenges. NZ Police does not carry guns although we have access to guns when we attend any firearms incident and our cars are equipped. The logic behind not carrying the weapons is that NZ Police doesn’t want our communities to be intimated, we want to be approachable. NZ police is a service, not a force. We don’t believe in carrying guns, to maintain law and order. In some countries, the police are being forced to carry arms. In a way it shows the plight of the country and its individuals at large. Honestly, I quite like the way we were. On the contrary, we believe in resolving things by communicating, talking and educating, not by fear of arms and intimidation. That’s not a sustainable solution. That’s how we as New Zealanders have been. We believe in policing by consent not by force.

We also have Media interaction to promote our ethnic officers to invite more people to join the police. We are looking for more and more people to join us especially women. Currently we have 10+ ethnic women in the police. Mandeep said the aim is to have 50 percent women - equal numbers by 2021. She called the NZ police “one big happy family” and said she never noticed any sexism or racism. There is so much respect that comes with the job. The salary is attractive with steady increments if you are in the job for a considerable time, there is job security, lot of benefits like police holiday homes where you get very reasonable rates to travel with family. Also if you have an interest in sports, you are encouraged to pursue that option and travel around. There are study options that are also supported if they are relevant to your work, the department gives flexibility to study in the university and to work.

Giving education is giving power. I also wish for more pople to join the police because if we want to make a difference we have to start playing a role from our own homes and slowly extending it to the communities. When you see community issues, you become less complaining and more responsive to the needs of those around you. This is a good medium to empower citizens who want to initiate the change that we are always looking for. We have to leave a legacy that would make the ones who come after us totally proud to say they knew you or they were part of your bloodline,” Mandeep said. “So, for me each day that I live I feel that I’m living for the thousands of people who live in New ZEALAND and to me they are my family members.” We salute this woman of strength, a Real Hero who inspires a whole new generation of Kiwi Indians.

1-1 stalemate in their opening fixture.

to

Midfielder Tony Kroos’ sensational stoppage-time winner helped Germany revive their campaign with a dramatic 2-1 win over Sweden in a Group F match of the the ongoing 21st edition of the FIFA World Cup at the Fisht Stadium in Sochi on Saturday. Coming back from a humiliating 0-1 defeat against Mexico in their opening match of the tournament, the defending winners dazzled Sweden with its swift passing in the opening exchanges and kept its cool till the last minute of the game - when Kroos’ goal managed to keep them alive in the World Cup.

Kroos found the net with a curling set-piece in the 95th minute of the game, that brought out the best and worst of Germany, who were reduced to 10 men after Jerome Boateng was sent off with eight minutes remaining. Ola Toivonen gave Sweden the lead with a superb finish in the 32nd minute. Following that, Germany displayed large doses of their famed fighting spirit as they staged a strong comeback in the second half with Marco Reus scoring the equaliser in the 48th minute.

The rest of the game saw the Germans dominate as they created and wasted a lot of chances. The Swedish defence also did well, holding the defending champions at bay. The result leaves Group F wide open with no team yet mathematically through. Mexicolead the way on six points, while Germany and Sweden are on three, and South Korea still on zero. Germany will next face South Korea in their final group engagement on June 27. Meanwhile, Sweden next take on Mexico on the same day.
