Hi everyone,
Hope the hunting has been going well.
Sorry for the delay in getting this newsletter out. This will be the last
newsletter we put out due to the cost of printing and mailing and the
time involved. A closed TKPHC facebook members page has been
set up for club info such as weights, comp info, lost dogs & dogs for
sale. Notices will also be put on the public TKPHC facebook page
which has a lot of followers. To join, search facebook for “Te Kuiti
Pig Hunting Club Members” & click “Join Group”.
Life Member, long-term committee member and foundation member
Steve McFall has stepped down from the TKPHC Committee. Thanks
for all the years of service to the club and committee.
Welcome to the TKPHC committee - Brooke Kimber and Byron
McGowan.
Great to see a good turnout of people at the Kids’ Hunt last November
including a few we haven’t seen for a while. Thanks to the committee
and anyone else who helped out. Congratulations to all of those who
weighed in animals.
Subs are now due, and a 10 day stand down for weighing in a pig will
apply from the end of May, which means if you pay your sub after the
end of May you have to wait 10 days from paying to weigh in a pig.
ANNUAL HUNT: The TKPHC Annual Hunt will be held on 6th, 7th, 8th,
July (first weekend of the school holidays) with the weigh-in & BBQ
prize-giving on Saturday 6th July from 1 to 3pm. We hope to see you all
there.

Legal framework for gun buyback scheme
announced
10 APRIL 2019
Police Minister Stuart Nash has announced a legal framework for the gun buyback will be
established as a first step towards determining the level of compensation. It will include
compensation for high capacity magazines and parts.
Mr Nash has outlined changes to the Arms (Prohibited Firearms, Magazines and Parts)
Amendment Bill which will be debated during the committee stages of the legislation.
The Supplementary Order Paper reflects changes arising from the Select Committee
process. It sets out the framework for dealing with the legal ownership of weapons,
magazines and parts and the broad approach for determining payments.
“The regulations will create a framework to set compensation based on make, model and
condition of the items. They will provide for rights of review and appeal,” Mr Nash says.
“Independent advisors will develop the price list for approval by Cabinet. A separate expert
panel of advisors will be established to determine fair compensation for high value firearms.
“Police have also consulted extensively with Australian officials to familiarise themselves with
the pitfalls and legal risks encountered there. Australia has had almost thirty amnesties and
buyback schemes since the 1990s.
“The new measures make it clear that surrendered firearms will be the property of the Crown.
Owners will be compensated for them, if the guns were lawfully obtained and the person had
the appropriate firearms licence. Price lists will be set out in regulations which are now being
drafted.
“This framework provides certainty for all participants in this process and sets out a clear
appeal process if the compensation is disputed.
“A number of transitional measures are also being put in place to handle one-off
questions. This includes weapons which were in transit from overseas when the ban took
effect. Customs officials may deliver them to Police as part of the amnesty and buyback
arrangement.
“Police are already collecting bank account details from people who are taking part in the gun
amnesty. They are well placed to begin paying compensation once the scheme is confirmed.
I can reassure firearms owners there will be plenty of time for them to hand over their
weapons as part of the amnesty and to have their compensation processed under the
buyback as well.
“The government has listened closely to official advice about the need to provide statutory
authority for decisions and payments under the buyback scheme,” Mr Nash said.
The regulations are expected to be considered by Cabinet in May. If necessary, the amnesty
can be extended by a month or so to run alongside the buyback.

To Rose and Robbie and families on behalf of the NZ pig hunting fraternity and the Te
Kuiti Pig Hunting Club, I offer our condolences with the passing of Bob.
Have no doubt, Bob was a great ambassador for the sport of hunting wild pigs in NZ. He
was passionate about pig hunting and took every instance to advocate on its behalf
whether through his involvement as a contributor to the NZ Rod & Rifle magazine for over
20 years or as editor of the NZ Pig Hunter magazine or as a leader of the pig hunting
competition Judging teams.
He always ready to have a chat and or share his knowledge about matters around the
sport. He would take on anything that would improve the image of pig hunting and pig
hunters. To quote Ewan, Bob was a good mentor.
My recollections are
• Bob was in the forefront to set up the Te Kuiti PHC, becoming its first secretary and
newsletter editor. At this point we must acknowledge the immense support he had
from his wife Liz. A lot of Bob’s success would not have happened without Liz’s help.
• Bob’s membership number was 007, when everyone else was trying to be 001, 002
etc, Bob was cunning enough to land 007 (James Bond).
• The original clubrooms were at Barry and Vida Aidridge’s and then came the
opportunity to purchase the Hangatiki Hall. Bob was very much instrumental in the
process of that purchase. It would be very fair to say, that without Bob’s input, the
purchase would not have occurred. At that time, I cannot recall any other Pig Hunting
Clubs in NZ owning their own clubrooms.
• Tired of all the differences in the rules of Pig Hunting competitions, Bob and Neville
(Hoppy) Hopkinson and the late Thomas Takawae sat down in the Te Anga Tavern
and drew up a set of rules for competitions that have gone on to be used as a
reference for Pig Hunting Clubs around the country.
• Bob then went on to become the editor of the NZ Pig Hunting Magazine. In 2003, Bob
and I and Jack Pihama were invited by the Govt to represent pig hunters in the debate
around 1080 at a 3 day hui in Kaikoura.
• 2003 was also when Bob and I set up the Pig Hunting competition judging system
sponsored by Ridgeline, this is for any pig hunting competition that wanted
independent unbiased judges. Our first one was at Westshore, Hawkes Bay in 2004,
starting at Easter, at MaruMaru Wairoa, Bob and I were away every second weekend
judging some where between Northland to Motueka in the South Island, finishing the
season at Bayview, Hawkes Bay at Labour weekend. it became so successful that at
one stage we had 4 teams judging on the same weekend, some where in NZ. At that
time, all the judges were TKPHC members. Jack Pihama and Dawn & Family, Greg
Peck, Darryl, Cilla, Ewan, Tony, Blue Scott, Ike, Beef, Kevin to name a few, all gave a
hand.
Bob would be pleased to see how it has gone Nationwide.

11NEWS: Up to five dogs die on Interislander ferry,
calls for urgent review of animal transport policies
Thursday Feb 14 - ONE News - By Imogen Wells
The SPCA is investigating an animal welfare incident on an Interislander ferry after as many
as five dogs died on board earlier this week.
Interislander crew discovered the dead dogs in an aluminium box at the back of a ute on
Monday evening and immediately reported the case to police.
Three other dogs, also found in the box, had to be euthanised due to the extent of their
condition.
Police have confirmed to 1 NEWS they attended the incident along with an SPCA inspector,
but say as this is an investigation relating to animals the case is the responsibility of the
SPCA.
The SPCA said due to the nature of the investigation, it cannot provide comment.
The Interislander ferry is a state-owned and operated service.
The head of campaigns for animal rights group SAFE said the ferry company should hold
responsibility for the care of animals on board as they cannot rely on owners to put their
animal's welfare first.
"SAFE is appalled that these dogs have had to endure such horrific conditions. No animal
deserves to be put through this suffering," SAFE said.
The group is now calling for an urgent review of both Interislander and Bluebridge's animal
transport policies.
It was real bloody hot and the ute was right in the middle of the deck - Marty O'Dea, witness
Marty O'Dea, a passenger on the same ferry, said the box where the dogs were held didn't
appear to have any proper ventilation.
"It looked more like a tool box. It wasn't a proper dog box. It was real bloody hot and the ute
was right in the middle of the deck. Nothing was open on the box," Mr O'Dea said.
He said there were roughly six dogs involved and the owner appeared to be doing nothing to
remedy the situation.
"I wondered if he was in a state of shock. He was doing nothing."
He said he witnessed the owner throw one of the deceased animals into the ute's tray, and
claims there were three or four other dogs lying on the ground, not moving.
Interislander's General Manager, Mark Thomspon, called the incident tragic for everyone
involved and stressed the company has specific policies for people carrying pets in cars that
have been in place for many years.
"These are clearly stated on our website when booking travel. We make it very clear that
keeping pets fed and watered is the owner's responsibility," he said.
Mr Thompson said pets travel on the Interislander every day and other owners manage to
care for their animals in a responsible way.
Interislander ferry services have kennels available for hire on board. For $15 per crossing,
the cages are in "shaded, well-ventilated" areas.
Frequent user Liz Wilkinson said this service has improved.
"When we first used the ferry [in 2017], we were placed in full sun and numerous dog owners
were also upset about the lack of communications with dog care," she said.
Ms Wilkinson said although Interislander have become better with their animal care since her
first experience with them, the kennels don't appear to be cleaned often and once smelt of
urine when she went to place the family dog in one.
Mr Thompson said the system they currently have in place appears to work for responsible
pet owners and the company has no plans to change its policy.
