  • Our Port History to Modern Day August 2013
    Port History to Modern Day S:\Port Information\Our Port History to Modern Day August 2013 2 EARLY HISTORY OF THE PORT OF TAURANGA 1290 Judge Wilson in his Sketches of Ancient Maori Life and History records that the canoe Takitumu carrying immigrants from Hawaiiki arrived in approximately 1290 AD and found Te Awanui (as Tauranga was then named) in the possession of a tribe of aborigines whose name, Puru Kopenga, or full net testified to the rich harvest to be drawn from the surrounding waters. 1769 In November, Captain James Cook passed close to Tauranga (pronounced Towrangha ) but did not enter the harbour. 1828 Probably the first European vessel to visit Tauranga was the missionary schooner Herald that called during this year. 1853 Captain Drury in HMS Pandora surveyed and charted the coast and harbour. 1864 Under the Marine Board Act of 1863, the Auckland Provincial Government Superintendent appointed the first pilot Captain T S Carmichael on 8 December 1864. He fixed leading buoys and marks in position to define the navigable channel, and his first piloting assignment was to bring HMS Esk into the harbour. The first house at Mount Maunganui was built for him late in 1866, to replace the tent in which he had lived during the previous two years. Copies of his early diaries are held in Tauranga s Sladden Library. Tauranga is probably the only Port in the country to experience a naval blockade. The Government of the day, fearful that arms would be run to hostile Maori warriors, imposed the blockade by notice in the New Zealand Gazette dated 2 April 1864.

Summary and Recommended Investment Strategy. Successful non-resource exporters will continue to benefit significantly from the downturn in the resource sector and the resulting lower Australian dollar exchange rate. Remain fully invested. Investment Outlook. Our Stockmarket Forecasts remain relatively Bearish to Stockmarket Forecasts Neutral and sentiment remains depressed, but it is difficult One-Month One-Year to make a case for a significant stockmarket decline. Australia: 25% (Bearish) 58% (Neutral) Media reports on the Australian Resource sector are New Zealand: 64% (Bullish) 41% (Neutral) depressing, but are an example of Peter Lynch's “penultimate preparedness”. Commodity prices have fallen and new mining developments have been cut back 80-90% . so the media (and investors) are now expecting and “prepared” for commodity prices to fall and mining developments to be cut back! Stockmarkets peak (and subsequently decline significantly) from an environment of excessive optimism New Zealand and over-valuation. The sort of thing that we saw in the NZX 50 Index 1980's Investment and Property boom or the late 1990's Internet boom. That is certainly not the case in most of the world.

  • 1 ISSN 1179-4275 August 2011 NOT the 9 OCLOCK NEWS
    ISSN 1179-4275 August 2011 NOT THE 9 OCLOCK NEWS Members will no doubt have watched with morbid fascination as the British gutter press tactics have been dragged into the harsh light of day recently. The NZSA constantly reminds people that good governance is the keystone without which the whole corporate castle can come crashing down. Rupert Murdoch, an octogenarian Australian who became an American primarily for business purposes, and the rest of his motley bunch have provided a clear example of why this is all so important. Murdoch built his empire from Australia, and despite some debt issues in 1992, he has now accumulated a vast media empire. To put this in perspective, worldwide he controls over 70 major newspapers ( including the Times and Wall St Journal), two book publishers (HarperCollins is one), 3 music publishers, 30 major magazines, 17 TV studio/network conglomerates, over 80 major TV channels and over 30 major internet channels. There is much, much more as well. In short, pretty much anything you read, watch or hear will have his influence on it. He has also in the past, been quite successful at “avoidance.” In 1999 it was reported that despite earning over a billion pounds per annum for the previous 11 years, he had paid no net corporate tax. The Murdoch empire has two classes of shares. Only one of these has voting rights. The Murdoch family owns about 35% of News Corp, but nearly all are voting shares, effectively giving him absolute control. The huge 17 member board is dominated by Murdoch and 3 of his children.
