agricultural
industry
is
the
backbone
of
the
New
Zealand
and
the
Indian
economy
with
agriculture,
forestry
and
fishing contributing 6.1% to
the countrys GDP (in 2015)
while agriculture and related
industries contributing 17% of
Indias GDP (2014).
This is the primary reason
why INZBC is holding the
first-ever agritech summit for
India-New Zealand industries.
The summit on June 13 at
Langham, Auckland will touch
upon areas such as major
trends and future market
opportunities in the sector,
technology
advancements,
animal
husbandry
for
increased
productivity
and scope of growth in
dairy farming.
The summit is being held in
partnership with New Zealand
National Fieldays, the most
respected organisation in New
Zealand for agriculture.
The summit has an
interesting
line-up
of
speakers from both New
Zealand and India including

representatives from National

Sameer Handa, Executive
Board Member, INZBC, said,
I am delighted to see such a
strong gathering of excellent
speakers from India and
New Zealand for agritech
summit organised by India
NZ Business council. The
background and experience
of speakers is diverse as they
come from dairy, farming,
banking, innovation, fruits,
robotics fields. I dont think
we have seen such a strong
gathering at one place before.
The timing of this summit
is very appropriate to discuss
the future growth of agritech,
as this will be followed by the
Executive Board Member of INZBC

Sameer Handa
Fieldays in Hamilton, our

annual agri show, which is the
biggest show of its kind in the
southern hemisphere.
There will be a session
with a focused discussion on
different areas of agritech.
The sessions will be managed
by NZTE, ATEED and
Callaghan Innovation.
The INZBC Summit looks to
take the conversation further,
on how collaborations can be
done in this sector between
India and New Zealand.

IWK Bureau
postage stamp to mark 125

years of Sikh migration was
recently released by National MP
Kanwaljit Singh Bakhi. Earlier this year,
due to efforts of Mr Bakshi, the Indian
community celebrated Vaisakhi in the New
Zealand Parliament for the first time. This
was a special occasion to mark the arrival
of Punjabs in New Zealand as well as to
highlight Indian culture and contributions.
Mr Bakshi then worked with the New
Zealand Punjabi Foundation to
honour the arrival of first Indian
origin Sikhs to New Zealand by
releasing Vaisakhi postage stamps.
This effort eventually came to fruition
on Sunday, June 5 in Papatoetoe at an
event organised by the New Zealand
Punjabi foundation.

Presence of family members from the

first pioneer Indian Punjabi families who
migrated to New Zealand in the early 19th
century made the occasion more special.Mr
Bakshi says that it is because of the hard

work and sacrifices made by early settlers
from India that the current and future
generation of Indians will enjoy successful
and happy lives in New Zealand.

A Pacific fusion fashion show
Red
IWK Bureau
he brainchild of Director
Nora Swann, the Pacific
Fusion Fashion Show
(PFFS) was created for a number
of reasons: firstly, for designers
from South Auckland to showcase
their fashion aesthetic and South
Aucklands ability to host a highend fashion event in the heart
of the pacific demographic of
New Zealand.
Secondly, to exhibit the
fashion talent that comes
from the people of Pacific
ancestry, allowing exposure and
network opportunities that can
further enhance their fashion
design careers.
Swann will also be running
an up-styling show on the night
and will be using the Ivy Park
brand to put together fashionable
ensembles in collaboration with
Topshop to give the audience
ideas on how to mix and
match pieces to create fresh,
stylish looks. PFFS will be held
on Saturday, September 3 in
Botany. Tickets will go on sale
via Eventfinder in early July. A
pop-up shop will be available
on the night for the audience to
purchase the designers garments.
The event, originally targeted
towards
pacific
designers,
generated a massive interest
from
non-Pacific
designers,
and therefore, is opened to
all ethnicities. PFFS is both a
fashion show and a competition.

The judges panel include
representatives from NZ Fashion
Week, VIVA (Herald) and
Auckland Arts Festival. The
prizes are donated by Spotlight,
Bernina, and MIT Enterprise to
name a few. Swann says, I cant
believe how big the event has

grown. My little community event
just kept on expanding every time
I shared my vision with others.
To me, that says there is a hunger
for this event. Weve had interest
from Australia and the Pacific
Islands from designers wanting to
take part in the event. PFFS ran

their first workshop on May 28at
Botany Town Centre with guest
speaker fashion designer Louina
Fifita. The workshop also included
a Q and A session and offered a
great networking opportunity for
the designers. The next workshop
Black
Orange
will take place on June 25. The

organising committee are calling
for interest from both, emerging
and established designers, and
aspiring and professional models
looking to be involved in a new
and exciting fashion event.
Wellington-based
fashion
designerDane
Dagger,
who specialises in creating
limited edition pieces with an
avant-garde, streetwear integrity,
will be showcasing in the show
along with local streetwear
designer KUJO clothing. PFFS
will also be looking for the Face of
Fusions 2017 with the modelling
competition scheduled to take
place on the same night.
Swann added, One thing is
certain. Our show is all about
innovation and will be full of
surprises. It is not going to be just
another fashion show.
Support from both the
local and wider community is
enabling the event to take place
although it is currently being
self-funded by Swann. There is
room for further development of
this event in years to come, and
Swann believes the show will be a
success and can hopefully draw in
a sponsor next year. Registrations
of interest for designers close on
August 6 and the model casting
call will take place on June 11 at
Botany Town Centre. Enquiries
can be made online via the event

A broader more intelligent immigration debate required

Sue Reidy
Auckland specialist immigration lawyer Alastair

McClymont is concerned that immigration statistics
are being distorted by politicians and fed to the media
to fit political agendas and do not reflect the true
situation. He says that the debate about whether or
not New Zealand needs to reduce its annual number
of migrants needs to be widened.
NZ First leader Winston

Peters has publicly stated
that
he
recommends
migration be reduced to a
maximum of 15,000 per year. But
which categories is he planning
to cut? I dont think you can
have a debate about the high
number of Indian and Chinese
migrants who gain residency
status unless we also have a
debate about the numbers of
international students who are
permitted entry to New Zealand
on a student work visa, says
McClymont. And the numbers
will vary from year to year based
on factors that are not within
our control.
For example, two years ago
New Zealand lost 11,000 people
to Australia. If we hadnt lost this
number, our net migration could
have been approximately 45,000.
Two things have changed
recently. There has been an
Alastair McClymont
increase in international student

numbers and were not losing so
many people to Australia. Partly
as a result of the collapse of the
mining bubble and undergoing a
recession, Australia has become
less appealing to New Zealanders
as a migrant destination. We
received a net gain of 2000
people from Australia to New
Zealand in the 12 months to the
end of April. So just who are
these people coming into New

Zealand? They are a complex
mix of international students,
temporary
workers,
holiday
makers, Kiwis returning home to
live and new residents (a number
of whom first entered this country
on student visas).
According to Statistics New
Zealand the 68,000 net migrants
in the past 12 months up to April
2016 include:
27% work visa holders who
originate
primarily
from
the UK, France, Germany
and Australia. This includes
young people on holiday
work schemes who may be in
New Zealand only for a year.
Many in this group identified
their
occupation
in
the
hospitality sector.
28% New Zealanders who have
been overseas for one year or
more returning home to live
and Australians who intend to
live here for more than a year
22% students who are counted
as net migrants because they
stay here for one year or more
23% people coming to settle
in New Zealand and of these
45% are Indians and Chinese
nationals. This is because most
international students are
Indian or Chinese and apply for
residency here after completing
New Zealand qualifications and

then succeed in applying for
residency for their parents (but
not their siblings).
Anecdotally, I understand that
a large number of international
students who come here to try
to obtain residency succeed,
says McClymont.
Stats for Indian

international
student arrivals
Nine thousand seven hundred

new students came to New
Zealand from India in the past
12 months
At a conservative estimate, each
foreign student spends $15,000
per year on their course of
studya total of $145 million
per year. Most courses are
for two years duration at the
very least.
Each student is required to
bring with them into New
Zealand $15,000 in financial
maintenancean
additional
$145 million
Total spending in New Zealand

bynewIndian students for
the past year was at least
$290 million
The Minister for Economic
Development,and Associate
Minister of Finance, Steven
Joyce, reported in mid-2015 that
tuition fee income from full feepaying international students
had increased by $129 million
to $884 million, an increase of
17%. International education is
New Zealands fifth largest export
industry, contributing $2.85
billion to the economy annually
and supporting more than
30,000 jobs.
If Winston Peters had his
way and New Zealand reduced
its migrants to a maximum
of 15,000, would we accept
fewer international students?
asks McClymont.
This would result in a massive
hit to our economy. Fewer young
Europeans on working holiday
visas? This would affect tourism
and the hospitality industry
staffing. Or do we make it tougher
for young Kiwis wanting to return
here to live?
There are serious implications
in every category if we reduce
immigration. The debate about
migrant numbers is a lot more
complicated than Mr Peters
would have us believe.

Mahesh Bindra
NZ First MP
hen members of the KiwiIndian

community
met
in Papatoetoe recently to
discuss the deteriorating law and order
situation, particularly in our South
Auckland communities, the anger and
frustration were palpable.
More than 200 community members
were present at the meeting, some of them
recent victims of crime, and they raised
their concerns in no uncertain terms.
We hoped the National government
would hear and act on those concerns since
a government MP was present.
Those hopes were shattered when
Budget 2016 came out.
We hoped the Budget would announce
increased police numbers in our
communities. But this did not happen
and all that was mentioned was a paltry
$8.5 million allocated for Police Primary

Response Management.
Our population has increased by
286,740 or 6.5% since 2012.
Taking into consideration that inflation
over this period has been 4.7%, the actual
increase in Budget works out to only 1.8%.
This is from a government that claims:
We will take a tough stance on crime!
Our policemen and women do a great
job under the circumstances but they are
under-resourced.
The government has unfortunately
chosen to ignore that fact.
The crime resolution rate has dropped
to just more than six per cent while the
government has been busy fudging figures
and spinning stories of how they have
been able to do more with less.
With tobacco prices going up, dairy
owners and others are concerned that
robberies and violence will increase,
particularly in South Auckland.
Action speaks louder than words, and
the government needs to live up to their
claim they are taking a tough stance
on crime.

this injustice was counteracted

by a positive action.
Narrating the incident, Amrit
told that an older man who was
walking past and heard the abuse
being thrown at him, came up
to him and apologised on behalf

him. This is what Amrit chooses

ties with India, India
New Zealand Business Council
(INZBC),
which
promotes
trade, investment and business
cooperation
between
the
two countries, launched its
Christchurch chapter recently.
At a function held on May 25 at
Ara Institute of Canterbury (AIC)
and attended by the citys mayor
Lianne Dalziel as well as several
members of the INZBC, the
launch is a signal of the growing
importance of India for Canterbury
as regards to trade and education
sectors, noted Beth Knowles, AICs
International Director.
INZBCs Christchurch chapter
will be led by Sushrutha Metikurke
who is also the market sector
manager for India at AIC.
India is our fastest growing
market. Last year, we had 518
Indian students studying at AIC.
These are students who are already
highly skilled and are incredibly
important in helping to fill the
skills shortage in Canterbury,

Knowles added. Moreover, the
establishment of the Christchurch
chapter will lead to greater
opportunities for Canterbury
industries and businesses, as
it will make networking and
collaboration between Canterbury
and
Indian
organisations
even easier.
Notably, AIC already has put in
place two student visit programmes
with educational institutes in
India to give students of both
countries international exposure
and help develop varied business
skills by gauging each others
economic environment.
Also,
there
are
various
Canterbury
businesses
with
considerable interests in India
including the Redesign Group and
Hamilton Jet.
INZBC is a great way to
develop networks and create
opportunities for our students
as well as help stimulate the
Canterbury economy. Everybody
benefits from such collaborations,
Knowles concluded.

of educational and business
links between Ara Institute of
Canterbury (AIC) and India, seven
students from the Kumaraguru

month to study New Zealand business.
The visit came just weeks after a MoU
was signed between AIC and KCT
by AICs business department head

India has the worlds second
largest population and offers huge
potential for business opportunities.
It is important for students to be
able to explore each others countries
and discover these opportunities
and establish networks themselves.
The two-week visit by the business

programme.
One of them was AICs Bachelor
of Applied Management student
Matthew McPherson. Recounting
his experience, McPherson said, I
learnt about the Indian culture. And
most importantly, the understanding
of the wealth gap there made me
realise
the
opportunities
that
exist for businesses to be socially
responsible and help in alleviating
poverty. AICs students tour
included classes, industry visits, and
cultural activities. CPIT Aoraki
and Jaipuria are collaborating to
increase international opportunities
for students of both institutions. Last
year we hosted a group of Jaipuria
students, and this opened up an
opportunity for our students to visit
India. Our focus was for students
to experience Indian businesses
and industries first-hand and gain
credits towards their respective
qualifications, informed Schwellnus.

RCEP negotiations started
in November 2012 with the
participation of New Zealand,
Australia, India, China, Japan,
South Korea and the 10 ASEAN

over
the
restrictions
on
government powers to regulate

to implement the TPPA is in New

eing a Mumbaikar (from

Mumbai, India) it is a
common sight to see poor
people including small children
begging on streets be it sun or rain,
with no clothes, food and shelter.
Growing up, I realised it is the
reality of life to see these people;
it cannot be avoided. Feeling sad,
sympathising, praying for them,
giving them some food or clothes
has been a common act by those
who are keen to help. But it is
not enough.
Walking past Queen Street or
Newmarket, you cannot miss the
sight of homeless people sitting
amidst the top shopping outlets
and food joints. How much
dropping a coin or two helps?
Some people dont even want
to give them their hard earned
money saying they would spend it
on booze and ciggie. Yes, it is true.
They dont need coins, they need
a change.
But that homeless person is
forgotten once you reach your
home or office. It reminds me of
the quote I recently read: Your
job is not to judge. Your job is not
to figure out if someone deserves
something. Your job is to lift the
fallen, to restore the broken, and
to heal the hurting.

I t
always made me wonder why
somebody didnt do something
about it. But then I realised I am
that somebody.
This is the first thought I
got when I was approached to
be a part of Lifewise Big Sleep
Out. It was not an easy decision.
However, since the issue of
homelessness is close to my heart,
I feel privileged to be a part of this
fundraising event.
Someone asked me why dont
I just donate instead of taking
this step of spending one night
on the streets sleeping rough on
a cardboard. To that I replied,
Telling someone you care about
them and not doing anything to
prove that, is a waste. So I liked

this idea of actually experiencing
what living on the streets is like;
the feeling of disconnecting
yourself from your loved ones
and [letting go the] comforts of
a cosy night; the idea of putting
yourself in someone elses shoes
to fundraise for them.
Being a full-time volunteer
worker, one of my jobs involve
being a victim support worker
and working for the betterment of
the community.
The Lifewise Big Sleepout
is a fundraiser to tackle the
growing issue of homelessness
in Auckland. Lifewise has a
unique no band-aids approach
for ending homelessness to help
people get off the streets and into
permanent homes.
I have decided to help the
homeless find shelter but I cannot
build a house alone. I will need
your help because every single
cent will make a difference. You

Food Safety Law Reform Bill

introduced
ood
Safety
Minister
Jo Goodhew last week
introduced
the
Food
Safety Law Reform Bill to
Parliament. The Bill is the
final step in implementing the
recommendations from the Whey
Protein
Concentrate
(WPC)
Contamination Inquiry.
We have made substantial
progress
implementing
the
WPC Inquiry recommendations
through operational means. The
final step is implementing the
recommendations, which require
legislative change.
The
Food
Safety
Law
Reform Bill will address these
recommendations and reinforce
New Zealands reputation as
a reliable supplier of safe and
suitable food, says Mrs Goodhew.
The Bill will amend the Animal
Products Act 1999, Food Act
2014, and Wine Act 2003 so that
the dairy-focused WPC Inquiry
recommended improvements can
be applied across the system.
Businesses these days are
multi-faceted and many work
under more than one food
safety Act. By better aligning
the processes under these three

food safety Acts there will be a
more consistent approach for
businesses across the whole food
safety system.
The Bill includes a range
of changes to strengthen our
responses to food safety incidents,
create a more consistent and fair
approach to enforcement for
non-compliance, and improve
the governments accessibility

to information from third-party
verifying agencies.
The Bill is a further step
in the governments ongoing
programme to streamline food
safety legislation. We need a
food system that encourages
innovation, drives value-add, and
inspires more food businesses to
export, Mrs Goodhew says.
2013 and associated regulations

came into effect on December 1,
2014 and industry participants
were given a two year transition
period to become fully compliant
and licensed.
As industry participants such
as banks and fund managers
are preparing their businesses
for the December 1, 2016
deadline they have identified
some technical issues with how
the regime works in practice in
different
circumstances.
We
are responding to this feedback
by making a number of small

changes are:

Red

n extra $3.6 million over four years

has been allocated in Budget 2016
for the New Zealand Storythe
initiative that builds New Zealands profile
internationally to benefit our exporters.
The New Zealand Story provides a
marketing toolkit used by thousands of
companies across all of New Zealands
export sectors to promote themselves and
the New Zealand brand internationally.
New Zealand is a small economic
player, so its important that we take every
opportunity when were overseas to work
together and tell people whats unique
about us as a country and what we bring
to the world, Economic Development
Minister Steven Joyce says.

The New Zealand Story helps
companies of all types tell a
consistent message about New
Zealands commitment to high
quality and fresh thinking that
builds our brand in cities as
diverse as Singapore, Shanghai
and Houston.
Minister Joyce announced the additional
funding while on a visit to Vietnam and
Singapore promoting New Zealand trade,
tourism, and international education.
This visit to Ho Chi Minh City
underlines the size of the challenge of
growing and maintaining the awareness of
New Zealand not just here but in hundreds

of key cities across the Asia-Pacific region
and the wider world, Mr Joyce says. New
Zealand Story was launched in 2013 as
part of the governments Business Growth
Agenda and will contribute to the goal of
increasing export earnings from 30 per cent
of GDP to 40 per cent of GDP by 2025. The

additional funding for New Zealand Story
will help lead the shift in perception needed
in key target markets, and engage targeted
international buyers and influencers. It will
also enable regional partners to support
exporters to tell their own versions of the
New Zealand Story.
We have to work hard to differentiate
ourselves against other nations to be visible
and competitive.
The New Zealand Story helps get more
cut through with markets, influencers and
buyers of New Zealand goods and services,
Mr Joyce says.
First home buyers must be

protected from unintended
consequences of DtI ratios
abours Finance spokesperson

Grant Robertson says that the
Labour government would protect
first home buyers from the unintended
consequences of debt to income ratios.
Macroprudential tools such as debt to
income ratios can often be far too blunt
when applied in a blanket fashion. We saw
that with loan to value ratios that were
originally applied to all buyers in all regions
at the same rate.
Blanket debt to income ratios will cause
havoc for first home buyers who wont
have the income to buy houses, especially
in places such as Auckland, Tauranga

and Queenstown.
According
to
economists,
spiralling home loan debt has been
driven by investors.
If the government wants to use debt to
income ratios, they should limit them to
the speculators and investors and give first
home buyers a break.
Along with building more affordable
homes through KiwiBuild, Labour would
focus on cracking down on the speculators,
not punishing first home buyers, says
Grant Robertson.
Accelerating success.

Cracking down on crime

John Key
Prime Minister
he
National-led
government
remains as focused as ever on
preventing crime and helping keep
our communities safer.
Thats why last months Budget included
a nearly $300 million boost to support
police and the good work they do preventing
crime in our communities. Since we came
into Government, weve increased the
number of police on the beat by 600.
Weve also increased frontline policing

by half a million hours a year by investing
in new technologythats equivalent to
around 350 more police out and about
protecting New Zealands communities.
Our unrelenting focus on tackling crime
is delivering results. Total crime is down
16 per cent on five years ago; thats 53,000
fewer crimes, and youth crime is down
almost 40 per cent.
In 2011, we made reducing crime part
of our top 10 better public services targets,
which are aimed at getting better results for
New Zealanders and their families. As part
of that, we set an ambitious target to reduce
overall crime by 20 per cent by 2018. These
latest figures show we are well on our way
to achieving that. We are also focused on
rehabilitation and reducing re-offending.
We set a similar target in 2011 to reduce

re-offending by 25 per cent by this time
next year. This would mean around 18,500
fewer victims each year and we are making
progress on that.
Our Budget 2016 investment of more
than $53 million into initiatives that
support reintegration and rehabilitation, as
well as GPS monitoring for the highest-risk
offenders, demonstrates our commitment
to reaching this target. Were also setting
up a child sex offender register to keep Kiwi
children safer.
As part of our social investment
approach, we are investing more money
in vulnerable New Zealanders early on to
help them lead better lives and prevent
them from potentially going off the rails.
Budget 2016 includes a $652 million
Black
Orange
social investment package that is focused

on evidence-based early intervention and
tailored public services in areas such as
corrections, education, and health.
We know from the evidence that if you
carefully target early investment in young
people, the benefits over a lifetime can be
significantfor themselves, their families,
and for the wider community.
A major part of this package is nearly
$200 million to overhaul our child care and
protection system to ensure it has a more
child-centred approach to help keep our
young people safe.
Theres always more work to be done
and we want to build on this good progress.
We will continue to focus on getting better
results for New Zealanders and investing in
areas that really matter to peoples lives.
Health investment increases to a

record $16.1bn
Parmjeet Parmar

elivering better health services

remains
this
governments
number one funding priority.
Budget 2016 sees substantial investment
in health reaching a record $16.1 billion in
201617 with an extra $568 million to be
investedthe biggest increase in seven
years and almost $170 million more than
last year. DHBs will benefit an extra $1.6
billion over four years to invest in services,
improve access, and to meet cost pressures
and population changes. This increase

in funding sets the direction for a more
integrated and patient-centred system and
will help New Zealanders continue to access
the healthcare they need.
This extra funding over the next four
years includes:
$124 million for Pharmac to provide
more access to new medicines
$96
million
to
provide
more
elective surgery
$39.3 million to start the roll-out of a
bowel screening programme
$42 million for vulnerable groups:
$18 million to expand the Healthy
Homes Initiative, which aims to reduce
preventable diseases in young children
$12 million to increase support for
primary care and social services to
enable people to access mental health

help earlier
$12 million to expand a successful
programme, which provides intensive
alcohol
and
drug
support
for

Access to elective surgery is a priority for
this government. As New Zealanders live
longer, doing more elective surgery each
year is crucial. Providing New Zealanders
with better access to elective surgery will
make a real difference to patients and
their families.
With around 3,000 New Zealanders
diagnosed with bowel cancer each year, the

early detection and treatment. The roll-out
of a national bowel screening programme is

Budget disappointment
Phil Goff
Labour MP
ucklanders looking for solutions to

growing gridlock on our roads and
the worsening crisis in housing
affordability from the Budget would have
been disappointed.
Over recent months, Ive got a good idea of
the things that concern people in our city. Ive
talked at meetings organised by political parties
across the spectrum including Act and National,
business and residents associations and service
clubs such as Rotary.
Theres been surprising unanimity about
what people regard as the critical issues for
which they want answers from the government.
Overwhelmingly,
they
are
worried
about traffic congestion and that our roads
and motorways are becoming increasingly
gridlocked. They cant understand why
government seems prepared to tolerate $3
billion a year being wasted in lost productivity

and other costs arising from congestion. It
would surely be better to invest in improving
transport infrastructure to deal with the problem
than continuing to pay the price for inaction.
People are also worried about housing
availability
and
affordability,
if
not
for themselves, then for their children
and grandchildren.
Those who own their own homes quite like
the thought of what their homes are now worth.
However, if they or their children have
bought them in the last few years, they
are concerned about how they will service
mortgages of $500,000$800,000 when interest
rates rise again.
With such high mortgages they are worried
about what will happen if immigration slowed
dramatically or the economy stumbled. That
would cause the housing bubble to burst. People
could end up with finding their mortgages are
larger than the value of their homes if prices fall.
How then will they be able to hold onto them?
When first home buyers are watching their
dreams of ever owning their own homes fade,
they ask why property speculators can make
thousands of dollars a week from inflation in
house prices. Understandably they believe that

this is unfair. With 4,000 fewer houses being
built each year than what is required to meet the
needs of a growing population, more families
cannot find houses. When people see a new
born baby living in a tent because her parents
are homeless, they know this isnt right and we
need to tackle the problem.
It is hard to understand why the Budget
did not address the problems of housing and
transport in Auckland. The government was
keen to put the blame on Council for Aucklands
housing problems and it is true that Council
could do better. Yet it is central government that
has the resources and levers of power to make
the greatest difference to solve these problems.
The government is happy for the population
to grow in Auckland by more than 800 people
a week. If we are to have that growth, it also
needs to ensure that the needs created by
growth for better transport and more houses are
properly met.
Treasury has advised the government
that Council cannot borrow and ought
not to raise rates to cover the $17 billion
cost of new infrastructure that is needed.
Central government has the ability and

implemented, the programme is expected
to screen more than 700,000 people every
two years.
Our dedicated health workforce is
making a difference to the lives of New
Zealanders. As of 31 March 2016, there
were more than 7,880 doctor full-timeequivalents and 22,500 nurse full-time
equivalents employed by DHBs. In total the
number of doctors and nurses working in
DHBs across the country has increased by
more than 6,100 since 2008an increase
of 25 per cent. New Zealanders need a
health workforce that is well equipped to
handle current and future demands. More
doctors and nurses in our DHBs will ensure
faster treatment and better experiences for
patients and their families.
the responsibility to raise money for

infrastructure bonds to meet those costs. It
should do so or empower Auckland city to
do so.
Speculation should not be allowed to run
rampant while home buyers are squeezed
out of the housing market by investors.
The government needs also to embark on
a partnership with the building industry
to create affordable homes. Currently,
almost no houses catering for lower income
families are being built.
People do not want to see a blame
game develop between central and local
government while the problem is allowed
to get progressively worse. What they
really want is to see the two branches
of government work together to tackle
the problem.
Thats what I will be working for if Im
elected mayor later this year. Ive been in
the government long enough to know there
are no silver bullet solutions. However,
I also know that until you acknowledge
the problems and show the determination
to address them, things cant start to
get better.

he Auckland council is
proposing a change to
the way it manages its
portfolio of housing units for
older Aucklanders.
The new proposal is to
partner with a third party social
housing provider to form a new
Community Housing Provider
(CHP) that is separate to the
council but that council has a
minority interest in.
The new CHP will have expert
input from the chosen partner
and will be entitled to access the
government Income Related Rent
Subsidy (IRRS).
It will also consider and
undertake refurbishment of the
councils current portfolio over
time to improve its quality.
This will be carried out under

Student reception hosted to strengthen

New Zealand-Fiji ties
egional
students
sponsored by the New
Zealand Aid Programme
were hosted to an annual
reception at the New Zealands
High Commission in Nasese,
Suva, on Thursday, June 2.
NZ High Commissioner to Fiji
Mark Ramsden said the reception
was a way for the commission
and NZ government to recognise
their relationships both across the
region and at the centre in Fiji.
Tonights (Thursdays) event
recognises two parts of our
scholarships programme and
Pacific scholars who come here to
Fiji to study, Mr Ramsden said.

New Zealand sponsors nearly 180
students from around the Pacific
to study at regional institutions
[such as] USP (University of the
South Pacific) and FNU (Fiji
National University).
Mr Ramsden said having
students to come and study here
showed off Fiji as a regional hub.
Fiji is an important regional
hub. The main campus of the
premier regional University of the
South Pacific is here, he said.
New Zealand has already had
a long established relationship
with USP as we were a foundation
member of the university back

in 1968. And so that relationship
remains really strong to us and
really important.
And we have Fiji National
University and New Zealand
has had a really long standing
relationship with FNU particularly
through the Fiji School of
Medicine. USP vice-chancellor
and
President
Professor
Rajesh Chandra said the NZ
scholarship programmes not only
strengthened their relationship
with USP but also contributed
to regionalism. Vanuatu student
Gwendoline Kalsev, who is a
final year student at USP, was

thankful to the NZ government for
the opportunity.
This scholarship has helped
me financially and has allowed me
to come to Fiji with my family. I
enjoy studying here in Fiji and
it feels like home away from
home, she said. Solomon Islands
student Jesse Dorauvo, 34, who
is completing his Diploma in
Electrical Engineering at FNU
also shared similar sentiments.
I have benefitted a lot from
this scholarship like financially
and other areas, Mr Dorauvo
said. Despite having health
problems, Mr Dorauvo said he

was determined to complete his
studies with the help and support
from NZ Aid.
The
New
Zealand
Aid
Programme
offers
several
different types of scholarship,
two of which benefit Pacific
island students such as the New
Zealand Pacific Scholarships
and the New Zealand Regional
Development Scholarships.
The regional students are from

Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu
and Vanuatu.

Martin Luther King Jr
Editorial
From the desk of the

Managing Editor
Like [Sherlock] Holmes, hackers strip the unnecessary from their lives. They
zero in on what matters. Like great writers, innovators have the fortitude to
cut the adverbs.This is why Apple founder Steve Jobs closet was filled with
dozens of identical black turtlenecks and Levis 501 jeansto simplify his choices.
US presidents do the same thing. Youll see I wear only grey or blue suits, President
Barack Obama told Michael Lewis for his October 2012 Vanity Fair cover story. I
dont want to make decisions about what Im eating or wearing. Because I have too
many other decisions to make.
~Shane Snow from Smartcuts
Many things have been written about not sweating the small stuff. Theres also
the 8020 rule. So it is about zeroing in on what is most important and zoning out
on what does not really matter. In that way, our genius is concentrated on the most
important.
In some ways, our Kiwi Indian Hall of Fame is much the same. It engulfs everything
in one big honour. Anyone who qualifies to be inducted into the Hall of Fame has
been unparalleled in every sphere of their area of endeavour. No wonder the awards
is considered the highest honour in the Kiwi-Indian community.
The date in now drawing closer and we are all looking forward to seeing who it
will be this year.
We bring you a packed issue again. Some interesting happenings from around the
world, too, with the Obama-Modi friendship taking the next step, Hillary proving her
grit and preparing for the final leg, and the loss of Cassius Clay or Mohammed Ali as
we fondly know him. We bring stories on each of these and hope you enjoy keeping
abreast with your news and views with our publication.
Junk Free June is on and while this is a call to consider what we eat, let us also
make sure we are looking after our health. It seems like it is the peak of the flu season,
and so it is important to look after our immune systems and keep hydrated. Also
with the cold weather, make sure we keep warm. And while we do that, let us spare
a thought for the homeless. If there are old blankets or warm gear that we have,
this may be a good time to consider donating it so it can be used by someone less
fortunate.
Pick of the week
Until next time.

Will Modi bow to RSS on Raghuram Rajan?
Red
Black
Orange
Amulya Ganguli
n addition to the NGOs,

including the one run by
Teesta Setalvad, the saffron
brotherhoods new target is
a
formidable
oneReserve
Bank of India (RBI) Governor
Raghuram Rajan.
Till now, the Hindutva camp
hadnt trained its guns on one so
high who is not a politician. There
is little doubt, however, that the
Sangh Parivars motive is political.
The attack on Rajan is not
a frontal one. It is a flanking
movement with none other than
the new Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) Rajya Sabha member,
the
perennially
combative
Subramanian Swamy, leading
the charge.
It is not clear if the targeting
of Rajan has the approval of the
BJPs top brass, for there are
conflicting indications.
While Finance Minister Arun
Jaitley disapproves of the personal
nature of the attacks, he has been
silent on the question of extending
Rajans term beyond September
considering that Swamy wants his
immediate dismissal.
However, the problem with
Swamys
offensivehe
has
accused Rajan of acting at the
behest US multinationals to
damage the Indian small and
medium industriesis that the
Prime Minister Narendra Modi (right) with RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan
voluble MP cannot always be taken

seriously. The reason is that he is
a maverick to beat all mavericks.
As a result, he is perceived of as
something of a loose cannon that
can go off at a tangent from his
partys line.
As much is clear from his earlier
backing of the disgraced godman,
Asaram Bapu, to the more recent
call for building the Ram temple by
the year-end, about which the BJP
has been more than circumspect.
Moreover, he is supposed to
have been elevated to the Rajya
Sabha only to serve a specific
purposethat of needling the
Nehru-Gandhisand not open
fire at random. Swamy has been

performing the first task with
considerable zeal, pursuing the
allegations against the Congresss
first family in the National Herald
and Agusta Westland cases.
More
recently,
he
has
called upon the Enforcement
Directorate to probe the supposed
transgressions of the business
deals of Robert Vadra, the first
familys son-in-law.
In the midst of these
endeavours, the sudden turning
of his attention to Rajan
is surprising.
In view of the governments
eagerness to maintain friendly
ties with the corporate sector,

the latters unfavourable reaction
to Swamys antics was only to
be expected. The Confederation
of Indian Industry has already
expressed its displeasure.
None of this is unexpected,
for Rajan is known to be a
favourite of India Inc. and
of the media, especially the
financial newspapers.
The hullabaloo created by
Swamy appears to have persuaded
Rajan to decide not to seek a
second term although he has
described the controversy as
evidence of a noisy democracy
and the sign of its vibrancy.
It is possible that Rajans
observation about India being the
king in a land of the blind hasnt
pleased the BJP.
Besides, he is something
of an odd man out where the
Hindutva camp is concerned,
being a typical representative of
the urbane, English-speaking,
secular establishment that is
vastly different from the Hindispeaking,
conservative-minded
present-day rulers.
It is not impossible, therefore,
that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak
Sangh (RSS), the BJPs mentor,
wants to see the back of him.
After all, the RSS has succeeded
in placing its nominees in most
of the institutionsthe Indian
Council of Historical Research
(ICHR), the National Book Trust,

the Film and Television Institute,
the Central Board of Film
Certification, and so on.
The objective behind all these
appointments was, firstly, to
find sinecures for its followers
and, secondly, to peddle the proHindu agenda. So, why should
the RBI be left in the hands of a
purported secularist?
It goes without saying that if
India Incs blue-eyed boy quits
office, the initial effect on the
market will be worrisome.
That is not something that
Modi will appreciate. But he
has generally had to walk a tight
rope between the predilections of
the RSS and his own more openminded attitude. There has been
a constant give-and-take between
him and the Nagpur patriarchs in
this respect.
In some matters, Modi
has had the upper hand such
as in persuading the saffron
fundamentalists to go easy
on their ghar wapsi and love
jehad campaigns.
In others, he has given way
to the RSS as, for instance, in
the appointments of unworthy
nominees to the ICHR and other
institutions.
The Rajan affair will be a
major test for Modi. Will he bow
to the RSS or will he allow his
pro-business instincts to prevail?
Are Indian cities ready for the coming migration wave?

Amit Kapoor
ccording to the World

Urbanisation Prospects
of the UN Population
Division, the percentage of people
residing in urban areas is slated
to rise to 60 per cent by 2030
and to 66.4 per cent by 2050, up
from 54 per cent in 2015. In 1950
the corresponding figure was just
under 30 per cent. This shows the
magnitude of change happening
across the world with an everincreasing percentage of people
residing in urban areas.
India, as a country, has been
slow to urbanise. At present,
according to census 2011, roughly
31 per cent of Indians reside in
urban areas. Over the next few
years, India is expected to urbanise
rapidlyand this percentage is
slated to rise sharply.
A pertinent question that
arises is: do Indian cities
have the wherewithal to be
resilient in the face of such
un-precedented migration?
At the core of finding an answer
is a multi-stakeholder group
comprising citizens, governments
and businesses that can solve
many of the urban issues that are
being faced.
In
the
case
of
India,
governments before the present
dispensation and the present
dispensation have been trying to
find solutions to these questions.

part of the resolve to improve
Indias urban ecosystem.
It is in this context that a recent
book by the World Bank becomes
pertinent. Regenerating Urban
LandA Practitioners Guide to
Leveraging Private Investment
has laid focus on a hitherto
less-focussed area in urban affairs
that can be leveraged for better
livability and competitiveness,
namely, regenerating urban land.
The book details a conceptual
framework for understanding the

urban regeneration process as
well as mentions eight case studies
of such projects from across
the
world.
According
to
this
important
work,
urban
regeneration
is
done in areas where there
are
pockets
of
underused
and
under-utilised
land
or
distressed
and
decaying areas.
A successful urban renewal
process has four phases. These
include an initial scoping phase,
which primarily provides decision
makers with analytical tools
to confront issues facing the
city. It is both forward looking
and backward looking. It looks
backwards for the citys history
and DNA and looks ahead to what
is required.

exercise that took a long time
for completion.
The second step is the planning
phase. This involves designing a
web of actions and institutions.
The book explicitly mentions that
a successful planning framework
brings together an inspiring
vision with a clear regulatory
process. A planning process
with the help of scoping process
must detail all the vital assets
and elements including land,
community and environmental
issues. In the case of SRDP, the
planning phase was initiated
once the special purpose vehicle
(SPV) for riverfront development
was established.
Post this, the third stage
is financing. Here, there are
generally two types of tools
available. Financial tools involve
direct
financial
assistance
such as value capture methods
(impact fees, special assessments,
extractions). Regulatory tools
utilize regulatory powers of a
city to incentivise private sector
participation in the form of taxbased/non-tax based incentives,
zoning, land use planning and
the like. In the case of Ahmedabad,
an innovative financial scheme
was utilised for financing.
Fourteen per cent of the reclaimed
land was used to finance complete
regeneration of the riverfront. The
city used its serviced public land to
raise a loan from the Housing and

Urban Development Corporation,
a central government public
sector undertaking.
The
final
step
is
the
implementation
stage
that
translates the vision for sustainable
change into financial, contractual
and institutional relationships
between the public and private
sectors. This involves creating an
organisational structure, which is
sustainable and can exist through
multiple political administrations.
In the case of SRDP, post
the establishment of SPV, a
diverse board was enabled
with members from the private
sector, the bureaucracy and the
political parties (both ruling and
opposition) which enabled the
project to be viewed as a civic
work rather than one aligned with
any partys agenda.
The other case studies in the
book are equally insightful. The
book is a welcome addition to the
body of work for policymakers
and development practitioners in
India and elsewhere. It will aid
development professionals and
policymakers understand how
urban regeneration projects can
be conceived and can contribute
to revitalising the economy and
build its competitiveness and
resilience for the future.
Over the next few years, more
such thinking is required for
countries like India to face some of
the challenges that may arise due
to their massive and haphazard
urbanisation that is underway.

of together ascending Mt Everest, the

We committed that we will not give
birth to a child until we climb Mt Everest,

want to become parents, she said, and

cited the love and dedication afforded
by my husband for accomplishing their
cherished goal. Rathod, however, said
that they were really saddened after
hearing that three Indian nationals lost
their lives in the climb, but once they
reached at the top themselves, they
were overjoyed. Three Indian nationals
from West Bengal were killed during
their attempt to ascend the Everest this
season. The Rathods, both aged 30 years
old, entered in police service in 2006.
Before this, they had climbed the highest
peak of Australia and other peaks and
conducted several adventure sky diving

and other mountain related expeditions.
Along with the Indian couple, two
Nepali Sherpas, Furba and Fushemba,
also reached the top of Everest. The trip
was organised by Makalu Adventure.
More than 70 Indian nationals have
successfully climbed Mt Everest this
season.
Mohan Lamsal of Makalu
Adventure said that such kind of
attempts will help trust between the
people of Nepal and India. The couple
took permission to climb Everest in 2015
but due to the earthquake, postponed
their plan.

Kejriwal alleges jungle raj

in Delhi, targets Modi
lleging complete jungle raj in Delhi,

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has blamed
Prime Minster Narendra Modi and Lt.
Governor Najeeb Jung for the state of affairs.
Complete jungle raj in Delhi. LG/Modiji
failed miserably. What have they done to control
deteriorating law and order? the Aam Aadmi Party
(AAP) leader asked in a tweet on Monday, June 6.
His comment came a day after a 50-year-old
woman and her two daughters, aged 19 and nine,
were found murdered at their house in Delhis
Brahmapuri area.
Separately, a four-year-old girl was allegedly
raped by an 11-year-old boy in Mangolpuri area.
Kejriwal said rapes and murders were happening
in Delhi but Jung is busy round the clock creating
hurdles in (our) governments works. He is unable
to perform his duty.
Will LG and Modiji do something please? Law
and order situation deteriorating by the day in
Delhi, he added.
Because of the national capitals unique status,
Delhi Police reports to the central government, not
to the city government headed by Kejriwal.
Kejriwal and his government have been feuding
with the central government since taking power in
February 2015 over issues of governance.
Kejriwal is pushing for full statehood for Delhi,
saying this will help him implement his plans for
the capital in a better way and also improve the law
and order situation.

Delhi govt clears

solar policy with 1
GW target by 2020
Red
Black
Orange
he Delhi government on Monday,

June 6 announced implementation
of its solar policy with the aim of
making the national capital a solar city
with installation of 1 GW solar power
capacity by 2020. This target is proposed
to double it to 2 GW during further next
five years (by 2025). The decision to clear
the policy, which outlines a combination of
regulations, mandates, incentives, and tax
breaks for the growth of rooftop solar power
in the capital was taken by Delhi cabinet
in a meeting, chaired by Chief Minister
Arvind Kejriwal.
The policy promotes net-metering for
all solar plants above 1 kW based on the netmetering regulations already issued by the
Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission.
It also mandates the deployment of solar
plants on all government-owned rooftops
in the next five years. It requires Discoms
to meet at least 75 per cent of their solar
renewable purchase obligation (RPO)
within Delhi, said a statement.
Kejriwal said, Making Delhi a solar city
is one of our 70-point agenda points. This
policy, which is very progressive will help in
providing clean and green energy.
Rooftop solar systems offer sustainable
energy,
environmental
benefits,
low gestation period and minimum
transmission and distribution losses.
Land That Job Now!

WHY WAIT?
The Delhi government also expressed its

commitment to work towards increasing
Delhis share of renewable energy to
help combat climate change, reduce air
pollution, and enhance energy security.
The key highlights of the policy are
mandatory deployment of solar on
government/public institutions, concept of
virtual net-metering, group net-metering,
generation based incentive for three years,
building bylaws amendment for rooftop
solar installations, tax breaks, benefits
and subsidies, and solar system up to 200
KWp being exempt from certification by an
electrical inspector.
Now, no permission needed

new building bye-laws, which now
permit construction on residential
plots of up to 105 square meters without
any requirement of get the building plans
cleared. Residential plots of size up to 105
square meters are not required to obtain
sanction of building plans, an official
statement said on Monday, June 6.
With the new bye-laws that has been
changed after 33 years, the owners only
need to submit an undertaking about the
construction along with requisite fees and
other documents to begin construction.
The local bodies have to grant the
permission within 30 days, the statement
said, adding, Building with built up area

The new bye-laws also allows the
applicant to just fill one centralised
online form, and the application would
automatically be forwarded to the
agencies concerned such as the Municipal
Corporation of Delhi, Delhi Jal Board and
fire department. The new bye-laws also
require measures for ensuring safety in
terms of provisions for structural design
and earthquake disaster mitigation. They
also talk of a single window mechanism so
as to improve the ease of doing construction
business in the national capital, thus
promoting investments.

Indian couple launches

lawsuit against
Australian bank
n Indian businessman and his

wife on Monday, June 6 launched
the largest legal action in the state
of Victoria, seeking more than $1 billion in
compensation from an Australian bank.
Pankaj and Radhika Oswal accused
the Australia and New Zealand Banking
Group (ANZ) of underselling shares in their
West Australian fertiliser company after
it was seized by receivers, Xinhua news
agency reported.
Opening the case in Victorias Supreme
Court on Monday, senior counsel for the
Oswals, Tony Bannon, said his clients 65
per cent stake in Burrup Fertilisers was sold
for $400 million in 2010.
Bannon said he will demonstrate to the
court that the true value of the couples
shares was in fact $990 million.
Our evidence will demonstrate the
current value is in the order of 2.36 billion
Australian dollars ($1.68 billion), he said.
Oswal claims he was bullied by ANZ

executives during the sale six years ago,
alleging that one executive put him in a
headlock and threatened to destroy him
before Burrup went into receivership.
The Oswals found themselves in
significant debt last month when the
Australian Taxation Office (ATO) issued a
departure prohibition on the couple over an
unpaid $136 million tax bill.
A $50 million house dubbed the Taj
Mahal on the Swan River was left halfcompleted by the couple when they were
forced to sell their share in Burrup as well
as a luxury jet worth tens of millions of
dollars and a fleet of luxury cars.
The trial has already cost tens of millions
of dollars with 25 barristers appearing in
court on both sides on Monday.
It is expected that the complex trial will
run for between three and six months.

Indian Lisa Singh of Labor Party.
Shashi Bhatti, who migrated from India

born to Indian parents from Bangalore, are
also contesting the elections from Labor
Party. 39-year-old Mohit Kumar is the only
India-born who is contesting the elections
from Liberal party. He is a Faridabad
resident who migrated to Australia in 1994
as an international student.
Kumar said it was his consistent hard
work that paid off for him to win the
party ticket.
It was imperative for Indians to join

the high offices of the country and to be
a part of policy making, he said. True
multiculturalism does not come from lip
service or attending Indian events. It also
comes from having a fair representation
at all the levels including government,
parliament, business and other areas,
Kumar said.
Gambian said, while there was a low
representation of Indians in the Australian
politics more Indian background people
should become its part.
I joined the Labor party when I was
16-years-old and I thought it was a party
of social justice and fairness, Gambian
said adding that his key to win the party
was getting involved in party works and
believing party policies.

Turnbull had announced that Australia

After being hospitalised for a respiratory

condition, former heavyweight boxing
champion Muhammad Ali passed away
on June 3
Esha Chanda
he world mourns the

loss of a man who has
left a vacuum in many
hearts. Muhammad Ali embodied
greatness. The genius captivated
the world with his magic not only
in the ring but also beyond. An odd
twist of fate led to the discovery of
young Alis talent. At the age of
12, when his bike was stolen, he
told police officer Joe Martin, Im
gonna whup whoever stole my
bike! Martin, who trained young
boxers at a local gym, told him
that he better learnt to fight before
he challenged people. And after a
mere six-month training, Ali, then
still known as Cassius Clay, won
his debut match.
His untamed spirit and fervour
continued in the years to come. In
1960, he was selected for Rome
Olympicsa path that paved
way for the future three-time
heavyweight world champion.
His agility and effortless footwork
in the ring and his lightning
punches earned him the fearsome
reputation as a fighter. Known for
his sharp verbal jabs, the King
of Trash Talk remains infamous

for taunting world heavyweight
champion Sonny Liston: If Liston
even dreamed he could beat me,
hed wake up and apologise.
But boxing was one facet of
this towering figure who left an
impression through his work as
a philanthropist, a humanitarian
and as a peoples champ. A vocal
activist for civil rights, he spoke
against racism, intolerance and
war. His work built the America
we know today.
In 1965, he renounced his
slave name and declared that he
has become a Black Muslim. When
he refused to enter the Vietnam
Warthe first to speak out against
the warhe was stripped of his
championship titles, his licence
was revoked and he was sentenced
to five years in prison when
found guilty of violating Selective
Service laws.
Speaking on his stance to
refuse to serve in the war, he said,
... I have said it once and I will
say it again. The real enemy of my
people is here... I have nothing
to lose by standing up for my
beliefs. So Ill go to jail, so what?
Weve been in jail for 400 years.
Ali remained undaunted to voice

his opinions. He fought not only
inside the ring but also outside. In
June 1971, the US Supreme Court
overturned the conviction and he
made an extraordinary comeback
after four years of exile.
On Friday, June 3,
the world lost not
only the greatest
sportsman
of
the century but
also a man who
was kind and
benevolent;
who was never
afraid to speak
his mind and
who stood up for
peoples rights.
Muhammad Ali
will always be
remembered as a
man who inspired
the world to chase
their dreams.
He said it
best himself: I
would like to be
remembered as a
man who won the
heavyweight title three times,
who was humorous and who
treated everyone right. As a man
who never looked down on those
who looked up to him...who stood
up for his beliefs...who tried to

Clinton
has
clinched the Democratic
Partys
presidential
nomination, becoming the first
woman in Americas 240-year
history to be the presumptive
nominee of a major US
political party.
Hours after the news, Clinton
got endorsement from House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a
California Democrat, on Tuesday,
June 7, as voters in California
headed to the polls.
Clinton, 68, secured 1,812
pledged delegates and 572
superdelegates for a total of 2,384
delegatesone more than needed
for the nomination.
The former first lady, senator
from New York, will officially
become the Democratic nominee
at next months convention and
face Republican nominee Donald
Trump in a general election battle.
The former Secretary of State
clinched the required number
after a strong showing in Puerto
Ricos Democratic primary on
Sunday and additional support
from superdelegates.
According to the news, we
are on the brink of an historic,
historic, unprecedented moment.
But we still have work to do, dont
we? Clinton said in Long Beach
on Monday, June 6.
Democratic Partys presidential nomination Hillary Clinton
Its been an
incredible journey.
Having a woman
president will make
a great statement,
historic statement
about what kind
of country we are
and what we stand
for. Its really
emotional.
Her nomination will put further

pressure on her Democrat rival
Bernie Sanders to exit the race.
Clinton raked in the magic
number a day after President
Barack Obama spoke to Sanders
over phone for around 30 minutes
in a bid to unify the party ahead
of the general election against
Republican presidential nominee
Donald Trump, said Bloomberg.
However, Sanders has vowed
to stay in the race and force a
contested convention. Secretary
Clinton does not have and will
not have the requisite number

of pledged delegates to secure
the nomination, Sanders said
in a statement on Monday.
She will be dependent on
superdelegates who do not
vote until July 25 and who can
change their minds between now
and then.
As she crossed the final
threshold,
Clinton
said
in
Compton, California: Its been
an incredible journey. Having a
woman president will make a great
statement, historic statement
about what kind of country we
are and what we stand for. Its
really emotional.
Hillary Clinton enjoys near
universal name recognition after
her almost four-decade-long
public life, which started as a
political spouse in 1979 when her
husband Bill Clinton became the
governor of Arkansas.
In 1992, when Bill Clinton
campaigned for the presidency,
he once quipped that he was
offering voters two presidents for
the price of one, Xinhua news
agency reported.
As the First Lady of the US,
Hillary Clinton raised her profile in
1993 by aggressively campaigning
for universal healthcare for all
Americans. The campaign ended
up being a fiasco.
Between the mid-1990s and the

end of his second term in office, Bill
Clinton became deeply involved
in various scandals, including
an investigation into a failed real
estate project in which the Clintons
had invested and his affair with a
White House intern that led to
impeachment proceedings.
In 2000, Hillary Clinton
successfully ran for senator in
New York State and easily won reelection in 2006.
She launched her first White
House run in 2008 and was
immediately viewed by many
as the front-runner in the
Democratic field.
However, she was defeated
by then first-term Senator
Barack Obama from Illinois
in the nomination race, who
later won the general election
and became the first US
African-American president.
Hillary Clinton was confirmed
by the US Senate as Secretary of
State in January 2009.
She
entered
the
2016
presidential race with strong
momentum in April 2015.
But since then, her candidacy
has been dogged by controversy
around her exclusive use of
a private email account and
server while helming the US
State Department.

Djokovic beats Murray to win his

first French Open title
erbian tennis star Novak
Djokovic on Sunday, June
5 won his first French Open
title, after defeating Britains
Andy Murray 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 in
3 hours and three minutes in an
overcast day Paris, thus becoming
the eighth man in history to
complete the career Grand Slam.
It was his fourth Grand Slam
title in a row. The last man to hold
all titles at the same time was Rod
Laver in 1969.
The crowd has not always
been in the favour of Djokovic in
previous years but this year he
has had to overcome the heavy
conditions by playing three
matches on four consecutive
days and he garnered a lot of the
support of spectators after his
celebratory dance with the ball
kids after winning the matches.
The atmosphere at times was more
like that of Davis Cup rather than
a Grand Slam. Ironically, it was
Murray who had spent more time
on court as compared to Djokovic.
It was the British World No.2
who made the stronger start as
23
first game but at 1-1, some poor

volleying from Murray enabled
Djokovic to reach breakpoint and
he broke serve on another simple
volley error from Murray.
Thereafter Murray was in
constant trouble on his serve
and the Serbian was quick to run
down a good drop shot to hit a
cross court winner for the double
break to 4-1. Murray, to his credit,
showed character gaining four
breakpoints but couldnt get the
vital break and he went down
two sets to one. Djokovic now
had the momentum and quickly
went up 2-0. Soon it was 5-2 and
Djokovic was serving for title at
5-2. The Serbian showed he was
human showing some nerves with
a double fault and Murray seized
the opportunity to break serve.
At the second time of asking,
Djokovic
reached
double
championship
point
after
Murray missed a lob. Again there
was drama as Murray saved
both. However, on his third
championship point, Murrays
backhand won the net and
Djokovic fell on his back after
completing a famous victory.
eteran doubles specialist

Leander Paes said on
Tuesday, June 7 his
partnership with Rohan Bopanna
will be Indias best bet for a medal
at the Rio Olympics.
It will be Leanders recordsetting seventh appearance at the
mega event for his country. But
his dream has seen a potential
roadblock after falling down
the mens doubles rankings in
recent times.
He moved up five spots to 46
in the latest mens rankings but
that wasnt enough to get a direct
qualification berth for Rio.
Bopanna grabbed that berth
after gaining a place in the top
10 rankings and has the luxury
of choosing his partner from
among Paes, Purav Raja (103)
Divij Sharan (114), Saketh Myneni
(125), Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan
(134) and Mahesh Bhupathi (164)
for the Rio Games.
Without a shadow of doubt,
Rohan and I are the best team for a
medal at Rio. I am sure that AITA
(All India Tennis Association)
will send the best team in
doubles for Rio, Paes said at a
press conference.
Bopanna has a history of bitter
relation with Paes after refusing
to partner him during the London
2012 Games. Paes relationship
with Bopanna and Bhupathi has
been a long-standing issue for
Indian tennis.
Indias doubles star Rohan
Bopanna says the bitterness that
had developed between him and
Paes in the build-up to the 2012
London Games is long gone and
over and he was not averse to
playing with the Kolkatan again
for the sake of the country. Paes
won the recent French Open
Indian tennis players Leander Paes and Rohan

mixed doubles title with his Swiss

partner Martina Hingis, his 18th
Major victory. But his mixed
doubles form didnt translate into
success in mens doubles with the
42-year-old losing in the quarterfinals of the major event.
The right-hander, however,
remains positive in his approach
and said his first-ever mixed
doubles trophy at Rolland Garros
was a career highlight and showed
he has still got it.
This French Open trophy is
very special, we have shown the
world that Indians can be world
beaters, he added.
His advancing age has forced
him to face uncomfortable
questions regarding his future
and willingness to retire, but
Paes remained coy to make a call,
playing the guessing game when
asked again.
One day curtains gonna come
down, maybe at Rio, maybe after
another Grand Slam, may be after
another 23 years... the day I feel
am done, he said.

Understanding exposurepart 3/3

T
Jeffery Chan
he next element in understanding

exposure is shutter speed. Also
referred to as exposure time, it is
measured by the length of time the shutter
remains open. The shutter is like a curtain in
front of the cameras sensor and depending
on how fast it opens will determine the
amount of light is captured by the sensor.
The longer the shutter remains open, the
more light is captured and vice versa.
Shutter speed is measured in
milliseconds. A very fast shutter could be
1/1000s and a slow shutter could be 1/4s. A
fast shutter will be useful to freeze motion;
for example, a moving object such as a car.
A slow shutter is used to capture movement
like a waterfall that will produce a milky
effect to the water movement.
Heres a guide of shutter speed and how
it can be applied.
This will result in the

object looking sharp
and the background
blurry.
This
takes
some
experimenting
to determine the speed
of the object. Try to
photograph with and
without panning and see
the difference.
To take milky water
photos (image 3), youll
need to use a tripod, as any handheld at
1s will produce blurry shots. To be sure, a
remote trigger for your camera will be handy
or you can set your camera to delay trigger
by 2s. Check your camera manual on how to
do this.
Long exposure is also used in night
photography (image 2) where you want
to capture the surrounding landscape. Its
common to use a shutter speed of 1s and
above when photographing the landscape.
In the photo below, the shutter was 2s.
Tripod is a must.
TRY
Panning is a method of focusing on an

object while following its movement. So in
the photo (image 1) to the right, I started
by focus when the bike is at my 10 oclock
and followed it until it is right in front
of me.
o determine what shutter speed to use,

first determine what kind of effect you
would like to achieve. Then its a matter
of trying out different shutter speed, and
dont worry if you dont get it right the first
time round.
Image 1
Image 2
TIPS
Image 3
enerally,
if
you
are
photographing
indoors
while holding your camera, you
do not want to go below 1/60s,
as that can cause blurry shots. I
normally keep mine to 1/125s. It
also depends on how steady your
hands are.

A Merchant
a n d h is Donkey
ne beautiful spring morning,

a merchant loaded his
donkey with bags of
salt to go to the market in order
to sell them. The merchant and
his donkey were walking along
together. They had not walked far
when they reached a river on the roa
d.
Unfortunately, the donkey slipped
and
fell into the river and noticed that
the bags of
salt loaded on his back became ligh
ter.
There was nothing the merchant cou
ld do, except return
home where he loaded his donkey
with more bags of salt.
As they reached the slippery rive
rbank, now deliberately,
the donkey fell into the river and
wasted all the bags of
salt on its back again. The merchant
quickly discovered the
donkey's trick. He then returned hom
e again but re-loaded
his donkey with bags of sponges.
The foolish, tricky donkey again
set on its way. On
reaching the river he again fell into
the water. But instead
of the load becoming lighter, it bec
ame heavier.
The merchant laughed at him and said
: You foolish donkey,
your trick had been discovered, you
should know that, those
who are too clever sometimes ove
r reach themselves.

money for the Cancer Society of
New Zealand by eating junk free
for the month of June.
to the participants health, but

also really fun to be part of, says
Junk Free June Creative Director
Matt Clayton.

feel better having eliminated their
chosen type of junk.

the month of June, and have their
friends and family donate money
in support. While they do that,
the participants are encouraged
to share their little and big
victories on social media using the
#junkfreejune.
The definition of junk has
been kept fluid and can be
self-defined and different for
everyone. Junk Free June is about
sacrificing something that you
eat often and know is not good
for you. By cutting out ones own
version of junk for the month,
individuals raise money for the
Cancer Society of New Zealand.
The Cancer Society provides free
and confidential support and
information to people dealing with
a cancer diagnosis, promotes ways
we can reduce our risk of cancer
and invests in cancer research.

The interesting thing though

is that for New Zealand, June
is the middle of winter when it
can be so easy to cave into those
temptations of comfort food. So,
rather than make your month
boring and about cutting out, why
not make it a month of trying out
new and fun recipes, discover new
places to eat out , try new flavours
and generally have fun.

I hope people
make Udta Punjab tax-free:
Shahid Kapoor
Uma Ramasubramanian
is much-awaited film Udta Punjab is still awaiting

clearance from the censor board, but actor Shahid
Kapoor hopes that the film, which addresses the
issue of drug menace in Punjab, is made tax-free so that it
could reach a wider audience.
Asked about how important it is for an actor to do a film
with a relevant social message, Shahid said, It is a choice.
I dont think when you sign a film as an actor it is your duty
to do that. If the opportunity comes along which is passing
a message that is beneficial then it is great. I cant take any
credit for it as the entire credit goes to Abhishek Chaubey.
The actor, who is essaying the character of a high-ondrugs, long-haired rock star Tommy Singh, who sings with
glee and abuses with impunity, asserted that it is important
to add entertainment quotient to reach out to the masses.
He added, To be able to put a message across and to
reach out to a number of people you have to entertain them.
I hope they make this film tax-free so that people can watch
this for less money because it is telling something that you
need to know.
Udta Punjab, which also stars Alia Bhatt, Kareena
Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh, is a story that revolves
around drug abuse in north of Punjab and how the youth
there have succumbed to it.
According to media reports, the Central Board of
Film Certification denied a release certificate for Udta
Punjab, citing excessive swearing, abusive language
and drug consumption in its content. But the films coproducer Anurag Kashyap put an end to the rumours
surrounding the alleged ban on the film and asserted that
Udta Punjab has not been banned. When questioned
about the no-permit buzz, Shahid said, I dont want
to comment on something that hasnt been defined
yet. Once it gets defined and once we understand what
the expectation is and what the final decision is (then
we can talk about it). Right now, it is in the process

part of the process. I just feel that when I did Haider the
content was definitely evolved and the film came out and
it is one of my most liked films... You need to make films
which talk about something which has certain substance.
The censor board is the right body to give a certificate to

Co-produced by Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane and
Vikas Bahl as part of their Phantom Films banner,
along with Shobha Kapoor, Ekta Kapoor, Aman Gill
and Sameer Nair, Udta Punjab is slated to release
on June 17.
Shahid was given the tag of an actor with
chocolate boy looks when he started
off his career with Ishq Vishk in
2003. But since then, the actor has
tried to explore various genres
from Haider, Vivah, and
R... Rajkumar to Kaminey.
Shahid, who is awaiting his
first child with wife Mira
Rajput, says it is liberating to
not be limited to any category.
He said: I am very happy.
Its very liberating to not be
limited to any category. People
tell me they like me more when I
am experimenting so it is great to
know people are ready to back me
when I am taking a risk... That is a
great thing to know as an actor then
there are no boundaries, you can go
out there and express yourself.
Shahid also feels settled on the
personal front. The Jab We Met star
said: I feel settled. I feel at ease. I feel
centred. I dont look at things as best and worst
because I really feel there is always something
across the country and ensure that all

students in these schools take the pledge
for Clean India.
Dia is a youth icon and has been an
active campaigner for Swachh Bharat.
We felt that she would be the best person
to help us reach out to more youngsters.
Our aim is to make it a viral youth led
movement, said Swachh Bharat Mission
Director Praveen Prakash. As the brand
ambassador, Dia would be interacting with
thousands of school and college students
from across the country through awareness
sessions, community cleaning activities and
motivational videos.
Over the years I have tried to engage
as many minds as possible to understand
that our planet and our country need the
immediate involvement of all its citizens,
so that we can take responsibility and make
our world a better place to live in, said Dia.

dramatic loony lan with which he nails it,

had me in splits.
Ritesh Deshmukh is in his defaultmodegetting pass grades in comedies
where there are two other heroes. Even
less impressive is Abhishek Bachchan
who caricatures himself with gratuitous
references to Amitabh Bachchan and
Aishwarya Rai, which flatter them but
not him. I find Boman Irani to be a much
superior actor in serious movies (as in My
Wifes Murder) than the comic roles, which
audiences in general like him more for.
Double standards afflict the films
race-based takes. A soccer selector yells:
Indians are only fit to remain slaves,
and ignores Akshays fantabulous football
strikes. Later we see that the three female
maids in the Patel palace are all of African

ancestry. Granted that there are lots of
African descendants living in England but
the film-makers seem to have conveniently
assumed the film to be set in Uganda, not
U.K while casting those roles.
Or did casting white ladies as maids
pose the danger of deflecting attention
from the pics three Indian beauties for
an audience, which is often assumed to be
skin-colour-sensitive?
Housefull 3 is at its best when it
brainstorms to unleash the shenanigans of
its three handicapped heroes.
While taking care not to make fun of
the disabled, the films dialogues and
slapstick humour are at their broadly funny
peak when it focuses on their fabricated
histories and others attempts to expose
their pretence.

not similarly succeed on the storylines

This is a technically solid movie with
first-class cinematography and crisp
editing. The best asset of the songs is that
they dont grate on your nerves.
It doesnt take a trade pundit to figure
out that Housefull 3 will mint millions at the
box office, and yes, it sure does sport some
hilarious moments but more consistency
in smart scripting would have elevated
this occasionally funny movie into a truly
memorable one.

where vegetarianism was only a little less

rare than were mango trees, he felt obliged
to cook his own food and half-starved with
irregular mealtimes and demanding work.
World War I thundered in with its own set
of horrors and shortages. The screenplay
pulls no punches in revealing how doomed

the young man felt.
We may never know whether it was
tuberculosis, hepatic amoebiasis or some
other agent of doom that brought on the
fevers, deliriums, aches and coughs that
haunted Ramanujan. The irony is that
while proofs for his dazzling formulae were
continually asked of Ramanujan, there
was no laboratory proof of tuberculosis for
which he was continually treated to no avail.
Doctors failed this great mathematician,
otherwise, he would have lived longer
but the movie is not interested in further
investigating this key issue.
That should not detract from the fact
that Brown marshals his actors abilities,
recreates a yesteryear Cambridge and builds
emotion, all so effectively that although I
had keenly sifted through Ramanujans life
several times in the past, I felt more deeply
for this great man at the movies end.
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Writer-Director: Matthew Brown
Housefull 3
tar-studded comedies such as

Housefull 3 , I regret to say, are criticproof. No matter what the critics say,
audiences will flock to the theatre expecting
their dose of masala, cotton candy, nitrous
oxide and Khudaa jaane what else. But
laughter even in small quantities is good
for health and even critics need to look after
their health, and so it is that I went to see
Housefull 3 for health reasons.
Admittedly, I laughed many times but
those instances were outweighed by a bigger
number of mediocre sequences, weak jokes
and cringe-worthy situations. Writers of
mainstream Hindi cinema, shackled by
dim-witted producers, are perfectly capable
of penning hilarious lines but struggle
mightily in constructing consistently
funny storylines.
The basic plot is actually geared for ripe
comedy. Batook Patel is a big-shot London
businessman who has a decent bank
account50 billion pounds to be precise
and lives with his three darling daughters in
a Disneyland modern castle.
The three young and attractive ladies
seem destined for an army of suitors but
Patel cites his traumatic past and bars them
all strictly from the perils of matrimony. To
circumvent his draconian diktats, his bitiyas
surprise Pitaaji with three bridegrooms
one is blind, another is mute while the

third is lame. Three beautiful and glamorous
actressesJacqueline Fernandes, Lisa
Hayden and Nargis Fakhri (we are gloriously
secular when it comes to filmi beauties)
round up the troika of daughters but only
Jacqueline enhances those gorgeousprincess looks with a brightly breezy turn.
Among all the current crop of experienced
actors who have perpetrated their herogiri mostly in second-class movies, Akshay
Kumar ranks first.
Excelling in his gags, crackling with
wicked energy and armed with all the best
lines, his is the films best act. Witness his
narration of an incident at a dinner table
where a toy train delivers naansthe story
he tells is not very funny but the sobbing
The Man who knew Infinity
he life of Srinivasa Ramanujan

ranks as both a great treasure
and an immense lost potential
in the history of modern knowledge. He
bequeathed to us a mountain of pioneering
mathematics that continues to inspire and
awe the best minds in the field. Drawing
on Thomas Kanigels book, writer-director
Matthew Brown marries fact and cinema
with exemplary finesse in this biopic about
the iconic Indian mathematician, while
never forgetting to inject the requisite
dramatic energy.
Born in 1887 in Kumbakonam, a humble
town in the southern Indian state of Tamil
Nadu, Ramanujan grappled with penury
and the lack of an academic degree even
as his staggering mathematical intuition
made him conjure complex unheard-of
formulas. His pleas for guidance finally
caught the attention of G.H Hardya
leading Cambridge mathematician who
brought Ramanujan over to the prestigious
university. Clash of methodology, culture
and religious beliefs aside, Hardy held
Ramanujans talent in the highest esteem,
putting him on the same rarefied level
as Euler and Jacobi. They eventually
collaborated on acclaimed papers that
finally merited the latter the Fellowship of
the Royal Society.
The opening sequences in Kumbakonam
sport a carefully composed mise-en-scne
that unwittingly misses the redolence of the
real India. Done-to-death flute music, with
little tune variations, permeates the film
with its melodramatic cloy. But the picture
admirably allocates enough space and
sensitivity to show Ramanujans disrupted
marital life (their real-life age difference
was much more awkward).
Jeremy Irons is pitch-perfect in his
performance as G H Hardy. With a
consistently droll sense of humour, he
comes across as a tough world-weary
Cambridge don who reserves an honest and
good heart. The film is terrific in showing
how he calmly and relentlessly instructs

the increasingly frustrated Ramanujan
that showing methodical proofs is more
important than miraculously birthing
incredible formulae.
Dev Patel, in a commercially safe casting
choice, essays Ramanujan; as though he
were expected to pull off a different kind of
Slumdog Millionaire. Patel is a British-bred
actor of Gujarati ancestry and although he
is intense and reasonably convincing in the
film, I did not find the expected Tamilian
either in his speech or physicality (accents
aside, the real-life Ramanujan had a fullness
of face and body unlike the lean Patel).
Regrettably, we never witness Patel
being given his personal space for reflection
so that we could glimpse more of the man
behind that vaulting genius. But one of
Browns best triumphs is evidenced in his
indirect way of showing the films terminal
event and the hidden reason behind this
choice. We see the exquisite emotion in a
person in whom we never saw that depth of
feeling before.
The film is unflinching in showing the
violent jealousy and racial hatred that
additionally afflicted Ramanujans progress.
