BeefGen director Patrick Lane says the Government has to reconsider the move in the interests of the national and regional economies. Live cattle exports from New Zealand will be banned from some time in 2023. BeefGen, which has its offices and live embryo and semen export facility in Glenroy Road at Whangara, has sent two live cattle shipments to China so far. The first shipment was in April last year during the Covid-19 lockdown when 3665 head were sent to China. Two animals died on the voyage. The second shipment of 3995 head went in January and no animals died. “We have our next shipment of 4100 head set to go in July and we are lining up a fourth shipment of 5700 for early September,” Mr Lane said. “The cattle have come from all around New Zealand, but in the second shipment, 1133 of the cattle came from this district. “Those Gisborne cattle were worth $1.387 million to the region’s farmers.” The live export trade from New Zealand to China was worth $500 million last year. Mr Lane said BeefGen was a New Zealand-based company handling live “As the video and pictures show, they’re GET THE FACTS: Long-time Whangara cattle breeder Patrick Lane (right) wants the cattle exports and germplasm export to together with other cattle in a big pen, Government to reconsider the live cattle export ban due to animal cruelty issues.

    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 14 April 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 07 April to Tuesday 14 April 2009 Give us a chance: WITH France joining Australia, Great Britain and New Zealand to make up an international quad-nations series this year, Fiji Bati centre Darryl Millard has called on the Pacific Nations to be considered too. After the 2008 Rugby League World Cup shake up of the international calendar by the Rugby League International Federation, it has been proposed that a Pacific Cup be held this year. The winner of the tournament enters the 2010 Rugby League Four Nations tournament (consisting of Australia, New Zealand, England and a qualifying nation). A Pacific Cup is also proposed to be held in 2011. Jones not available for Kiwis: He still has that magic touch but little general Stacey Jones has ruled himself out of contention for New Zealand's clash with Australia next month at Lang Park. The scheming halfback said he would not be available for selection for the Brisbane match which takes place on May 8, the day after his 33rd birthday. After one year out of rugby league, Jones made a shock return to the NRL this season and has shown he still has a knack for creating tries. Linwood win 17-try see-saw: Former Warrior Kane Ferris scored a match-winning try on the stroke of fulltime as the Linwood Keas snuck home in a 94-point rugby league thriller against east-side arch rival Aranui. Linwood's Canterbury Bulls hooker Nathan Sherlock and Aranui Eagles back Tim Rangihuna both scored four tries as the Keas clung to a 48-46 victory at Rugby League Park on Saturday.

So it stands to reason that UOW has maintained a close connection with the community of the Illawarra and South Coast of New South Wales ever since. This relationship was recognised in 2012 when the inaugural QS Intelligence Unit benchmarking audit of the world’s universities gave UOW 50 out of 50 points for engagement as part of a fi ve-star ranking for UOW across the audit’s six criteria of employability, teaching, infrastructure, internationalism, innovation and engagement. While the University is proudly international in our outlook, we arguably have never been more connected to our home community, through our main campus and the Innovation Campus in Wollongong and our facilities in the Shoalhaven, Batemans Bay, Bega, Moss Vale, Loftus and the Sydney CBD.
