Dog, can you come to the pad? My Mrs is dead. Duff, a patched Mongrel Mob member, is accused of beating his partner of eight years, Bronwyn Aroha Whakaneke, 33, with a metal scaffolding pipe before dumping her outside a bus at the mob headquarters in Waitangirua. The text message, allegedly sent by murder accused Quentin Duff to a Mongrel Mob associate soon after Duff's partner's death, was among several revealed in Porirua District Court yesterday. Duff, who has yet to enter a plea, appeared expressionless in court yesterday for a depositions hearing. Her naked and battered body was found on January 8. Phone records in court revealed that before police were called, Duff text-messaged a Mongrel Mob associate: . It will determine if he will face trial...

Police prosecutor Claire Boshier told the court Duff and Ms Whakaneke had argued before Duff inflicted the fatal injuries. Police prosecutor Claire Boshier told the court Duff and Ms Whakaneke had argued before Duff inflicted the fatal injuries. Drag marks on the gang pad floor and gravel marks on Ms Whakaneke's face and clothing were consistent with being dragged from the headquarters to the bus, Ms Boshier said. The pipe, covered in blood, had fingerprints on it. Ms Boshier told the court Duff admitted resulting in the fatal injuries and told police he had been trying to sleep when Ms Whakaneke punched him in the nose. The first of three videotaped police interviews with Duff was played for the court. During the interview Duff said Ms Whakaneke had left the gang pad about midnight. He then said he locked up, went to sleep and found her body in the morning. She just said she was going to wait for her ride, Duff told police. They had not argued and when she left she was in a happy mood . Three witnesses who gave evidence to the court had name suppression. Justices of the peace Ian Symonds and Bernardine Poole remanded Duff in custody. The hearing continues today. Maori land blocks frustrated surfers' access . Maori land blocks frustrated surfers' access - Wednesday, 20 August MIKE SCOTT/ WORST NIGHTMARES: Taranaki surfers' worst nightmares are coming true, as access to premium surf breaks is cut off as fences go up on Maori family land. Taranaki surfers' worst nightmares are coming true, as access to premium surf breaks is cut off. In the past two weeks, Maori family land, right on the coast, has had 2m high gates and a fence erected around it, blocking access to the world-class breaks. Surf breaks at Mangahume and Sky Williams, just south of Opunake, have become the latest casualties. Mrs Hohaia said she did not want to restrict access to surfers, but wanted to protect three urupa (cemeteries) on the land. Owners Teresa and Donald Hohaia, of New Plymouth, said they knew nothing about the gates and fence. I know nothing about it, she told the . It wasn't done with my knowledge. Surfers say the South Taranaki District Council should be doing more to secure beach access for the future. Mrs Hohaia said other family members who did not live in the region were involved with the land, but she could not provide contact details. I think that it is negligent that they are not doing it, Mr Arthur said. Surfer Wayne Arthur said the STDC should be ensuring coastal access for everyone. The marketing of Surf Highway 45 is a South Taranaki initiative, and they are not managing the assets at all. The lockout could affect tourism in the area. Mr Arthur said surfers were facing constant battles to retain access to surf spots as coastal property was sliced up and sold off. They have got a gem, but it needs a bit more polishing than what they are doing. If we have got some sort of historical access, then the council should be doing whatever it can to secure that for the future. Local surfer Craig Williamson said the STDC should negotiate for access when approval for land to be subdivided was given. He was devastated to see the fence and gates blocking access to page 1 / 18 The House of Oojah AudioBooks New Zealand Kiwi Audio CD mp3 - www.Audio-Books.co.nz the two breaks. Once it is gone, you can't get it back, Mr Williamson said. I was heading down for a surf, and found I couldn't get down there. I'm gutted, absolutely gutted. Surf Highway 45's attraction would be lost if nobody could get to the surf. People from all over the world are surfing down there in the summer, Mr Williamson said. Surfers were grateful to farmers who, for years, had allowed them to cross their land for access to surf breaks. Surfers were grateful to farmers who, for years, had allowed them to cross their land for access to surf breaks. An Opunake surfer, who did not want to be named, was not concerned at the loss of easy access. He said there were other routes to the breaks. It just means I get to enjoy surfing there without the crowd. STDC Mayor Ross Dunlop said the region was renowned for its surf breaks. When possible, the council negotiated access to the beach with developers, but it might not be in the same place as before. In the past access across private land was at the land owner's discretion. I would be very concerned if some of our popular surfing spots are being cut off from the public, Mr Dunlop said. We want to be creating more, rather than reducing them. Rerun for rally that led to riot . Rerun for rally that led to riot and NARELLE SUISTED - Wednesday, 20 August Police are bracing for hundreds of Canterbury University students to defy authorities and converge on Dunedin in a rogue Undie 500 car rally this weekend. Last year, 69 people were arrested and charged over rioting in Dunedin streets the following day the rally arrived in the city. An anonymous Canterbury University student created a dummy student email address to circulate two emails on Saturday and yesterday, detailing how this year's unsanctioned event will run. The year before, 25 of the 56 students arrested for disorderly behaviour over the Undie 500 weekend were from Christchurch. The anonymous email from the self-styled Undie 500 master said: There will be drinking, along with theme cars and costumes! An entire Dunedin courtroom was set aside to deal with students arrested over last year's rioting. Two students intending to go to the event told they expected the controversial rally to be at least as big as those of the last two years. This year's event will proceed despite the urging of student and civic leaders, the university and police. The last of those charged cleared the court system only last week. It's bad for the city (Dunedin), bad for our reputation and we don't need it. All the Undie 500 does is cause us a considerable amount of grief, Dunedin and Clutha police area commander Inspector Dave Campbell said. We believe we're well-prepared. Police were caught out by events last year and would have a zero tolerance approach to any more trouble, he said. The Undie 500 was previously organised by the Canterbury University Engineering Students' Society (Ensoc). We certainly have a significant number of staff rostered on this weekend. Ensoc and the University of Canterbury Students' Association (UCSA) tried to organise another event this year but gave up when Dunedin Mayor Peter Chin refused to support their proposals. Since 1989, students have bought cars valued under $500, decorated them to a theme and driven to Dunedin, stopping at designated pubs along the way. Yesterday, Walker said he did not know who was behind the alternative event and did not support it. In July, when Ensoc president Graeme Walker formally withdrew support for the event, he warned that an alternative event would go ahead regardless. This individual has basically organised the event themselves. We have been working really hard this year to protect the Undie 500 name and we don't want to compromise that at all, Walker said. It's still our students and we're trying to make sure they don't go down, Goldstein said. UCSA president Michael Goldstein said he did not want to talk about the event because we don't want any publicity given to it . People have just said since this was cancelled, everyone will still go, Alex Crossan, 18, said. Two first-year students living at Christchurch's University Hall said they were not worried by the lack of support from student leaders. He expected hundreds more from the university's five other halls as well as student flats to go on the rally.
