Love's partner in council fee controversy
Relevant offers
Sir Ngatata Love's partner was paid more than $170,000 to resolve a property dispute for the Wellington City Council, which was unaware she was also being paid by developers planning to build on the land.
Documents released under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act show the council engaged Lorraine Skiffington to secure a sale and purchase of 2 Lambton Quay.
The site of the former Cecil Hotel was acquired by the Government during World War II to house US troops, but the Edmonds family fought a protracted legal battle against the Crown and the council to win it back in 2005 and 2006.
Council chief executive Garry Poole told The Dominion Post the council was left in a weak position on land needed for the capital's transport system, with owners who had refused to negotiate with it.
Sir Ngatata, the Tenths Trust chairman, approached Mr Poole in May 2007, believing he could use his good relationship with the Edmonds "as a means of ending the stalemate".
He proposed Ms Skiffington be engaged as a lead negotiator to strike a deal between the Edmonds family and the council, which would cover her costs, at $350 an hour.
Mr Poole said the council believed she worked as a lawyer for the Wellington Tenths Trust.
Over the following six months she filed three invoices totalling $154,350 plus GST.
The invoices show the council was charged for dozens of meetings between Ms Skiffington and members of the Tenths Trust, as well as property developers, who at the same time were paying her to progress plans to build an office tower on the Lambton Quay site.
Last week Mr Poole said that at the time the deal was struck he was unaware Sir Ngatata and Ms Skiffington were in a personal relationship but it would not have stopped him hiring her.
He was also unaware that Ms Skiffington had a $3 million consultancy deal with a group funded by Auckland property developers Redwood and financiers Equinox. This included paying her to progress plans for an office tower on the Lambton Quay site.
"I did not know that was happening. We did not know that," Mr Poole told The Dominion Post.
It appears Ms Skiffington's arrangement with the council on the Lambton Quay site was also unknown to developers.
"It's news to me," Equinox partner Kerry Knight told The Dominion Post on Friday.
Ms Skiffington's agreement with Redwood and Equinox is part of a Serious Fraud Office investigation into transactions of the Wellington Tenths Trust.
Initially focused on the development of Pipitea Plaza, the headquarters of New Zealand's spy network, Ms Skiffington was also paid to progress other development proposals on Lambton Quay and Shelly Bay.
Shortly before The Dominion Post revealed the SFO investigation, Sir Ngatata stood down as chairman of a number of Maori Trusts, including the Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust.
Documents released by the council show Mr Poole had reservations about invoices Ms Skiffington sent him detailing the work she was charging for, with no certainty of how long the negotiations would take.
Twice he wrote directly to Sir Ngatata requesting an estimate of what the total cost of the negotiations would be.
"I have approved the Skiffington invoice without this cost estimate but it is clear this still needs to happen so that both parties can assess our respective commitments as we go forward," Mr Poole wrote.
Following a second request for a cost estimate, Sir Ngatata wrote to Mr Poole explaining that part of the reason the negotiations were uncertain was because of the animosity created by council officials.
"While the deal is not sealed we are close to getting over the line but as with the expectations of success at the World Cup nothing is certain until the final whistle."
Mr Poole said last week the Skiffington deal was a prudent use of Council funds given the "unique" situation.
"You do not get yourself into situations like this very often where you build a facility and over the passage of time it turns out to be someone else's land you built your facility on," Mr Poole said.
"I think the outcome we achieved given the circumstances was very satisfactory."
The Cecil Hotel, at 2 Lambton Quay, was owned by three generations of the Edmonds family from 1865. In 1942, it was acquired by the Government for use by American marines.
In 1989, the hotel's land was to be returned to the city council.
In 1995, however, the Edmonds family asserted their right to an offer back under the Public Works Act 1981 and the High Court ruled that part of the land should be returned to the family. A Crown appeal against the decision failed.
Sir Ngatata Love proposed that his partner, Lorraine Skiffington, negotiate with the Edmonds family, with whom he was on good terms.

ISAF Sailing World Cup - Lucas and Pascoe pick up GBR's first medals
by RYA on 5 Apr 2014
At the 2014 ISAF Sailing World Cup Mallorca Helena Lucas and Megan Pascoe picked up Britain's first medals, Friday 4 April, claiming the two top steps of the podium in the 2.4mR class on the penultimate day of the event.
The Paralympic Champion Lucas added Palma gold to her Miami World Cup bronze from February to ensure a lucrative start to her 2014 season, with Pascoe also continuing her early season form by taking silver behind her teammate having edged out Lucas to take Miami victory.
Lucas had taken an impressive scoreline, with a worst race result of second, into Friday's final three-race day for the Paralympic fleet.
But the London 2012 gold medallist admitted to giving herself a bit of a scare when she opened her day with an uncharacteristic 11th out of 16 boats amid shifty light wind conditions in the first race.
'The first race was a complete nightmare. We were really close to the shore and the wind died – there were some crazy shifts going on and I was just relieved when that race was over!' confessed the 38-year-old.
'It was one of those painful races where whatever I did was wrong!' Lucas managed to regroup for the final two races, finishing third in both to close out the event victory by three points over Pascoe, with Norway's Erikstad winning all three races on Friday to claim bronze.
'It's been one of those days where it felt like everything was stacked against you a little bit, but it was a solid third in the other two races.
'I knew I just needed to kind of keep in solid and finish inside the top three in both of those races and it would all be fine, but it was definitely a tricky day!'
Pascoe took the day's conditions in her stride to finish second in all three races behind Erikstad, and was also buoyed by her second World Cup podium finish of the season. 'It was a tougher event [than Miami]. Helena was sailing well and so was Bjornar, so it was very close but I'm generally happy with the way it's going.
'It was shifty stuff today,' Pascoe continued. 'It was more the condition that I go very well in – a bit more like inland pond sailing conditions which I grew up with. Bjornar was going well today – he was tacking in the right places, but I got round a couple of the windward marks first so I'm happy.
'Both Helena and Bjornar have gone to the Games a number of times now, and we have quite a few Worlds medals between us so it's nice to have good competition every time we come racing on the World Cup circuit.'
Saturday will see the conclusion of this 2014 Princess Sofia Trophy, with 15 British boats qualifying for the final 10-boat medal races for each of the 10 Olympic Classes.
No racing was possible for the Finn fleet on Friday with light winds blighting any prospect of completing their schedule, so Giles Scott will head into the final medal race in pole position.
The 2011 World and European Champion has an eight-point lead over Frenchman Thomas Le Breton, while fellow British sailors Andrew Mills and Ed Wright have also made the 10-boat cut in sixth and tenth places respectively.
Three British boats will also feature in the three-race 49er finale on Saturday, with Dylan Fletcher and Alain Sign heading into the day in overall third. John Pink and Stuart Bithell enjoyed a race win and a third from their three races to qualify in sixth place, with teammates Dave Evans and Ed Powys just one point behind them in seventh.
The 49er and 49erFX fleets will race three short, single-points scoring races to determine their winners tomorrow.
The British Sailing Team's Charlotte Dobson and Sophie Ainsworth are in contention in the 49erFX event, picking up a race win among their three races today to place them in overall third.
Olympic silver medallists Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark will battle it out for bronze in the 470 women's event. They're poised in third overall, with France's Camille Lecointre-Helene Defrance and Kiwi World and Olympic Champions Jo Aleh-Olivia Powrie set to duel for the gold as the two boats enjoy an unassailable lead over the rest of the fleet heading into the final day.
French windsurfer Charline Picon already has gold in the bag in the RS:X women's event, but the British Sailing Team's Bryony Shaw will be one of four sailors fighting it out for the remaining two podium spots on Saturday. The world silver medallist and Miami World Cup winner will start the day in fourth, as will Chloe Martin in the Laser Radial event who'll fight it out for bronze with Belgium's Evi Van Acker.
There'll be a tight battle for bronze in the Nacra 17 event as well, with Britain's world silver medallist Ben Saxton and Hannah Diamond in that mix, while Lucy Macgregor and Andy Walsh ensured a second British berth in the final day's double-points medal race for the multihulls.
The new pairing of Luke Patience and Elliot Willis have qualified for their first World Cup medal race together in the 470 men's event, although a painfully light-wind finish to their final race on Friday saw them lose touch of the podium spots. They head into the final race in seventh.
Nick Dempsey will also be in final day action in the men's RS:X event, but there was disappointment on Friday night for Laser sailor Nick Thompson, who ended the day in 10th position in the medal race spots, but late evening results changes following protests saw him drop to 12th and out of contention.
Medal race schedule for Saturday 5 April (times are local)
Course A:
1120 – 49erFX (Three races)
1220 – 49er (Three races)
Course B:
1110 – 470 Women

The first module, the bogie support structure, standing 22 metres high, with a diameter of 30 metres and weighing 1300 tonnes will be transported to Korea to integrate with the Prelude FLNG vessel. Other modules will soon follow.
The Prelude FLNG unit will be 488-metres long and when fully loaded will weigh more than 600,000 tonnes. It will be the largest structure ever sent to sea displacing as much water as a fleet of six aircraft carriers. The vessel is to work at the Prelude offshore field 200 kms from the Australian coast.
The turret for Prelude FLNG is the biggest turret ever built and over 800 workers are engaged in its construction. It is being built in five modules which when put together will weigh in at 10,500 tons. The first steel cutting took place on May 5, 2012. The nearly 100-metre mooring turret is a vital element of the vessel and along with four groups of mooring chains and suction pile anchors will constitute the largest system in the world and help the vessel to remain stable in high velocity tropical cyclone territory.
Drydocks World has extensive experience in building turret structures having built the internal turret for SBM Frade project, two external turrets for Saipem (installed on board FRSU Toscana and FPSO Firenze) and a smaller internal turret for BW Offshore.

'Today' Show Star Willard Scott Marries Longtime Girlfriend at 80
Willard Scott, former weatherman and a contributor for "Today" show, is a married man. Scott, who turned 80 this year, and his longtime girlfriend Paris Keena exchanged vows on Tuesday, March 1 in Fort Myers, Fla.
Matt Lauer shared the happy news on Wednesday episode of the show. "[Savannah Guthrie] is not the only one who recently got married," he said. The announcement was followed by congratulatory messages from others.
Scott joined the popular morning show as weatherman in 1980. He passed the job to Al Roker in 1996, but he keeps making regular appearances.
Scott met Keena for the first time in 1977, when she worked for NBC's Washington affiliate, WRC. The pair have been together for 11 years before getting married. The newlyweds, however, apparently have no honeymoon plan after celebrating their nuptials. Keena told Today.com, "Our whole life has been a honeymoon."
Only last month Guthrie announced her marriage to communications strategist Mike Feldman and her pregnancy. "We set the wedding date, I bought my dress, and then I found out," Guthrie shared. "We are so excited, overjoyed and feel so blessed."
"It was beautiful. Just everything I could have dreamed. We just wanted to have this private moment. It was a small wedding. We just wanted that moment with our close friends and family to basically drop a big bomb on them," she said of her wedding. Guthrie and Feldman tied the knot in front of guests which included Roker, Lauer, Willie Geist and NBC News reporter Chuck Todd. Her brother Camron walked her down the aisle.

Our guide was highly knowledgeable and provided an amazing tour experience. He let us know where we were headed so we could all stay as a group. He shared about the history of the Red Light District, as well as, other information that we wouldn't have otherwise known about Amsterdam in general. We explored areas that we wouldn't have checked out, if we hadn't of gone on the tour. Great time, I would definitely recommend it.

Our walking tour of Amsterdam with Terry O'Leary was absolutely wonderful. Such a great guide with many stories to tell about each spot we visited. Even though we had some pretty hard rain at times, Terry kept us captivated and always found a place for us to gather to learn about the city. Highly, highly recommend this tour, especially with Terry!
Doing what: Amsterdam Walking Tour
The guide, Marianne Goedhart, was exceptional. The tour of Amsterdam gave a great overview for the city, its history and attractions. The time spent at the diamond factory was a real treat! We thoroughly enjoyed the Delft factory with the craftsmen at work. The town square visit was a good opportunity for shopping and individual sightseeing. We were in The Hague just following the latest war crimes conviction. That really brought home the meaning of this city's significance in the world. The evening visit to the Madurodam had the added attraction all the little lights being on in the tiny houses. Would recommend this pair of tours to give a flavor of the area to help decide areas to visit on an extended time in the area. It was perfect for our two day stay.
Doing what: Amsterdam Super Saver: City Sightseeing Tour plus Half-Day Trip to Delft, The Hague and Madurodam
There were only 4 of us in the group for this tour on a grey day in March, but the friendliness of Terry and his quirky way of telling the Story of Amsterdam in his charming Irish accent was a delightful way to spend a few hours. He was full of little insights and pointed out things that I wouldn't have picked up on about the character of Amsterdam without him!
Doing what: Amsterdam Walking Tour
The tour was great, but you did a PISS POOR job of explaining where to find the boat - the Amsterdam port is HUGE, more specific directions are essential, as we nearly missed the boat despite having hired a local cab to find it for an extra 75 bucks. SHAME!

Really enjoyed the Heineken experience visit. Pre-booked tickets meant we could queue jump and enter straight away. The pizza tour was also brilliant. Lots of free drinks and delicious pizza. A great way to enjoy two of Amsterdam's attractions for a cheap price.

Great evening! Food was excellent considering the chef cooks on boat. Service was charming. The captain drove us to some points of Amsterdam that we would have never seen. Great point of view from the water. Highly recommend this tour.

The bike tour is a great way of seeing the main attractions in Amsterdam. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a good insight into the history and famous landmarks in the city. It was great fun and we would thoroughly recommend it!

Great activity to see the whole city. We used the service for 48 hours, The second day we went back to the places of most interest to us. The bus picked us up right across the street from the Marriott and Hard Rock Café. It was very convenient. The clear roof of the bus kept us dry through the periods of rain.
I would do this tour again next time we are in Amsterdam.

ZION NATIONAL PARK — This week, Zion National Park welcomed volunteer astronomer Scott Spence to conduct astronomy programs for park visitors.
Spence will be working in the park through Oct. 18. He will conduct informal day and night viewing sessions using solar scopes and telescopes. The sessions will take place at various times and locations throughout the park.
Interested visitors should inquire about these programs at the Zion Visitor Center and Zion Human History Museum. Spence will also be conducting a presentation at the Canyon Community Center in Springdale on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at 8 p.m. The presentation will be followed by telescope viewing outside.
Spence also will work with Zion to complete a lighting inventory of park buildings and facilities. The information will be used to inform park management of further steps that can be taken to protect dark skies in Zion National Park.
Spence is a volunteer representative of the Colorado Plateau Dark Sky Cooperative. The organization says it is "a geographic region where public lands, tribes, communities, businesses, schools, clubs, and citizens join to support a set of principles resulting in mutual benefits and the long term conservation of our starry night heritage."

I was planning on buying a Genesis Alfine Day One from another well known store, but then I spotted the fantastic price that Cycle Gear were selling it for on Google.
Despite the fact that they were busy (very busy!) moving to their new store, they let me in via the back door, gave us a cuppa, did a great mechanical set up on the bike and took time to discuss the purchase in a way that puts many other stores (big and small) to shame.
Well done guys, thanks and good luck with your new store. You have gained a new customer!

Marvel Heroes 2016 is a game I've been playing since launch, though I did quit for a little bit back when Marvel Heroes was still a diamond in the rough. I even wrote a review about it, which I agree was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction from me just because I was disappointed it wasn't as good as Marvel Ultimate Alliance. I was hating on it because of the genre of the game. Eventually, I wrote a revisit review... Read more

In 2006, I built my very first PC. It, at the time, was a fairly impressive machine. I used a Core 2 Quad back when Core 2 Quads were new. It served me faithfully for 10 years or so. During that time, every now and then, I would play around with the idea of upgrading my rig, researching on parts and prices. After getting married in 2015, I had saved up enough funds to finally get a new rig. I immediately... Read more

When going to the movies, a huge part of the movie-going experience is the quality of the cinema itself. A great movie in a crappy cinema can make for a horrible experience, which tends to sway a person's opinion on the movie itself. That's why if you're serious about having the absolute best experience (or close to it), you should totally read on.

By the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth! Quite some time ago, Benedict Cumberbatch was announced as the lead for Marvel's Dr. Strange. Then a couple days back, the very first trailer dropped. Ever since then, Cumberbatch and Dr. Strange fans have been in a constant state of giddiness because, as far as anyone can tell, Cumberbatch nailed it. But who is Dr. Strange exactly?

Hey Potterheads!

Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt is one of the best reviewed video games of the current generation. It's up there with giants like The Last of Us, GTA V, and Journey. Each quest is masterfully crafted, making side questing a joy. Unfortunately, there are only so many quests and the way xp works in this game makes leveling up quite controlled. Once you level past the threshold for quests, you're only awarded a measly 1 point xp. Good thing there's an... Read more

Maybe it was the fantastically long lead-in to this movie, or all the hype Disney's stellar marketing team built up around it's release, but I found myself slightly disappointed with their new Avengers: Age of Ultron.

It's hard not to compare Netflix's first Marvel show, Daredevil, with Fox's Gotham. Both are based on superhero comics that are relatively well known, and both are kind of experimental in a way. The former is Marvel's first foray into video-on-demand programming through US Internet subscription service, Netflix, and the latter is a Batman show without Batman. However, both of them share a strong crime drama bent; they focus more on the crime and corruption in their cities, rather... Read more

Once when Ty Cobb, a partner at Hogan Lovells, was trying a case before a particularly cantankerous judge, he wondered if he should worry when the judge asked him to approach the bench. Cobb was a young lawyer at the time, cocky and given to cracking the occasional joke to the jury. It was only his third time before this particular judge, who was known for dressing down lawyers for missteps. The opposing counsel rose with Cobb, but the judge waved him away. When Cobb approached, the judge smiled at him. "Are those new boots?" he asked.

Kathryn Bigelow has undoubtedly been one of Hollywood's most significant female players, well known in popular terms for films such as "Point Break" and "Blue Steel," yet relatively unexplored in academia. Soundbites about women and guns and speculation about the role of ex-husband James Cameron ( "Aliens, Titanic") in her career have often helped obscure rather than eluci ...more
