The team are donating $10 to the Cancer Society for every try that the All Blacks score during the tournament. “It seemed like a good way to support the team and a really good cause,” Trevor Hurley said. The entire office decked themselves out in black on Monday to really kick-start the pro- ceedings. After Saturday night’s victory against South Africa saw the All Blacks score two tries there’s already $20 in the coffers but with some big scorelines expected in their next three pool matches that total should grow significantly. Hurley said that, as an added incentive, if the All Blacks were to go on and win the tour- nament for the third consecutive time they would donate a further $500 to the cause.

Whether you’re a renter or a homeowner, everyone pays rates.

If you rent a house worth $250,000, $175 of your rent each month goes to the Council, so it’s in everyone’s interests that we keep a lid on rates.

We’ve seen massive cost blow-outs on Council projects. The Art Gallery and Museum cost 40% more than was budgeted. If we see a similar blow-out on the Library and Civic Centre, ratepayers are looking at an additional $20 million bill. That’s $1,650 for every household in the district.

I’ve been a local accountant for more than forty years, working with Ashburton businesses and community groups to keep costs down and prevent multi- million dollar disasters. I’ll bring that experience to Council.
