SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2021

A leaked telegram stating “Europeans frantically cheering on a band of coloured men” shocked the New Zealand public a century ago.

The telegram from visiting journalist Charles Blackell, intended for readers back in South Africa and written after the Springboks played the Maori All Blacks on September 7, 1921, said the Boks were “frankly disgusted”.

The fixture, played at Napier’s McLean Park, was won 9 to 8 by the first Springbok side to tour New Zealand.

Two Poverty Bay players were in the Maori side,

halfback Jimmy Mill and outside him, first five-eighth and Maori captain Parekura Tureia.

Both men were Ngati Porou.Mill was a future All Blacks great while Tureia, a veteran

of World War 1, was to be die in action in World War 2 as the commander of C Company, 28 Maori Battalion.

Maori and Pakeha alike were dismayed by the telegram but that did not prevent three post office workers from being sacked.

Springboks manager Harold Bennett disavowed the telegram.

Tuesday is the 100th anniversary of the controversial Maori All Blacks-Springboks match at Napier’s McLean Park, which featured two prominent Poverty Bay players. The Herald’s Wynsley Wrigley looks at the controversy and the players.

Telegram sparked dismay

He said it did not represent the opinion of the players.

Another future All Blacks great, Rangitukia legend George Nepia, watched the match as a 16-year-old student.

He later said the telegram “provoked a reaction and bitterness which within the heart of the Maori race have neither been forgotten nor forgiven”.

Tureia and Mill and four other Poverty Bay players also appeared for Hawke’s Bay-Poverty Bay against the Boks in Napier.

One of those other players was Tom Heeney who fought Gene Tunney for the world heavyweight boxing title in 1928.

The Boks won that match 14-8.Tureia also played for the Maori All Blacks

in 1923.Mill was playing for the Tokomaru Bay

Wanderers club in 1921.East Coast was only a sub-union of the

Poverty Bay union in 1921 and did not play its first match as a full province until the following year.

Mill was a gifted sporting all-rounder and opened the batting when Poverty Bay won cricket’s still prestigious Hawke Cup in a match against Whanganui in 1919.

In his four Hawke Cup innings, played over three matches, Mill was run out twice!

But it is his deeds as a footballer which made Mill a household name.

Mill, like Nepia, become a superstar of the 1924 Invincibles.

That All Blacks side won all 30 of their matches in Britain and France and featured other rugby luminaries such as Bert Cooke, Mark Nicholls and Maurice Brownlie.

Mill played 33 matches for the All Blacks between 1923 and 1930, including tests against England, France, Wales and the 1930 Lions, scoring 15 tries and kicking four conversions.

He also played for the great Hawke’s Bay side of the 1920s who defended the Ranfurly Shield 24 times.

But a low point came in 1928 when the New Zealand Rugby Football Union ruled Mill and Nepia ineligibile for that year’s first ever All Blacks tour of South Africa on racial grounds.

The national union had acquiesced to the wishes of the South African Government.

Mill was limited to playing provincial rugby in New Zealand as the other Invincibles halfback, Canterbury’s Bill Dalley, played all four test matches in South Africa in 1928.

Mill’s late daughter Patsy Mill said her father was deeply hurt by his omission and that of other Maori players and lived with a sense of humiliation for the remainder of his life.

He often discussed the matter with Nepia who had described the non-selection of Maori players as “leaving New Zealand indignant”.

Laurie Harrison, who first met Patsy Mill while demonstrating against the 1981 Springbok tour, and who gave a eulogy at her funeral last year, described her as a “firebrand”.

Harrison, and late cartoonist Murray Ball accompanied her as part of a (Gisborne) Halt All Racist Tours delegation which met with Poverty Bay rugby officials before the Springboks arrived in Gisborne to start their tour.

“They listened to us, but were committed to the tour,” said Harrison.

Patsy Mill told the rugby officials she was ashamed and disgusted. They had “forgotten the mana of my father” and didn’t understand the humiliation he felt.

Harrison said Patsy Mill felt consumed and disappointed.

She threw her father’s All Black cap on the floor before them and said “you can take it”.

He said to those present at her funeral, “ where is that cap (now)?”

Mill was noted for the speed of his pass, and it was this that helped the backs outside him scored a lot of tries.

The schoolboy sprint champion was a deadly threat running down the blindside.

“When Jimmy decided to go . . . It would be a try, “ wrote the country’s most famous rugby journalist, the late Terry McLean.

“He had a sort of lopsided, deferential grin which rather gave the impression of excessive modesty.

“So far as I remember he was modest. “But when he moved in that tryscoring

movement, he wore a lopsided, deferential grin which suggested that he was really sorry, he shouldn’t be doing things like this to your team.”

Tureia had suffered racism at the hands of South Africa as a Maori footballer before 1921.

He had been part of the New Zealand army rugby team which won the post-World War 1 British Empire army tournament and toured Britain.

The side stopped off in South Africa in 1919 to play matches while returning home from the war.

Corporal Tureia and Sergeant Nathaniel “Ranji” Wilson, who was part West Indian, were both forbidden from playing at the request of the South Africa Rugby Board.

Tureia served in the Pioneer Battalion in the first world war and in C Company (East Coast) of 28 Maori Battalion in the second.

Captain Tureia was killed on November 23, 1941, and is buried in the Halfaya Sollum War Cemetery in Egypt.

Tureia worked in the Department of Native Affairs.

He and wife Henihou both came from prominent Maori whanau and together raised six children.

His parents were Waiheke and Ruihana Tureia (nee de Jones).

Jane Tureia, whanau spokesperson, said he tried to look after his family while serving overseas in the army.

A tuberculosis epidemic was raging in New Zealand and Tureia sent poignant letters home.

He wrote beautifully in Maori and English, she said.

Tureia was educated at Tititiki Native School and Te Aute College.

He was an officer of great mana.The family was very proud of his many

‘DEEPLY HURT’

FUTURE STAR: The Maori All Black - Springboks match of 1921 was the first big match of Jimmy Mill’s stellar rugby career. He debuted for the All Blacks in Australia in 1923, before becoming one of the all time greats after playing for the 1924 Invincibles in Britain and France. Mill ended his All Black career against the 1930 Lions. Terry McLean, writing in the early 1980s, said he reluctantly picked Mill ahead of Sid Going as the greatest Maori halfback. File photo

LEAD

A self-described “walking hat stand”, Hamiora Gibson — the East Coast catchment coordinator with NZ Landcare Trust, keen surfer, whio

protector, father and writer for NZ Outdoor Magazine — is a busy man. He has even made it on to an episode of the TV series Wild Kai Legends.

His travels have taken him to the US, Europe and Australia, and more recently south, to the awe-inspiring yet inhospitable Fiordland National Park.

While he was working for the Department of Conservation in the deepest parts of the South Island, Hamiora was faced with a reality check.

He lost a friend and co-worker on the job.“He fell off a bluff and died, and that really

knocked me round,” said Hamiora.“That made me realise that you better like

what you do, otherwise you shouldn’t be doing it. Because that’s a reality of working in the bush.”

As much as rangers focused on health and safety, the bush wasn’t a controlled environment and there were risks, he said.

In case his friend’s death wasn’t enough, Hamiora had his own brush with a bluff afterwards.

“I fell off one down in Fiordland and I busted my leg. It was like a proper freefall drop where you have time mid-air to think, and so it was quite a big one.

“I landed on a mossy rock and luckily the moss allowed me to sort of skid on it instead of taking the full impact. But yeah, that was pretty bad.”

He walked to a hut using his rifle as a crutch.

After a night in the hut with no sleeping bag, he was picked up by a rescue helicopter after news of his fall got through via radio.

The fall tested and strengthened his resolve.“It put the s.... up me, this job is real.

“But for me, it goes to show that I’ve made a conscious decision in my life, that biodiversity is important to me. It is a commitment in my life. And it is even more so when you know what could happen.”

Having been pushed beyond what he thought he was capable of by deep gullies, cold winds and rock, ignorant of human comfort, Hamiora decided it was time to come to the East Coast.

“Here the rivers are loaded full of food, the hills are more hospitable. The way the typography works, for me, it feels much more welcoming.”

His early years were spent hunting with his koro, who he remembers saying, “It’s good to go away and get different perspectives, and then come back and implement them at home.”

His mother Michelle Vette is a nurse and his father Clayton Gibson was a school teacher at Gisborne Boys’ High and then Campion. He was also a teacher at the first Rudolf Steiner School in Gisborne in Valley Road in the 1980s.

His father would take school students into the back country on hikes and Hamiora would tag along.

The family grew up at Okitu, on land where an old glue factory once stood. Growing up, Hamiora would find horse hooves in the weeds.

When his koro passed away, Hamiora’s parents decided to move to Hawke’s Bay where he attended the Rudolf Steiner school, which he says helped give him a strong foundation in life.

As part of his education, he had to complete a final-year project which was a trapping programme, where he took on a section of bush and completed a conservation project.

Like many fresh out of high school, he gave university a crack, studying environmental science and politics with poor results.

“I’m a real face-to-face person, I like to learn by doing. Lecture theatres with 300 people really weren’t my vibe.”

He dropped out after a year and decided to travel, shepherding, looking after farms and surfing.

Then, “my old man pulled me aside and realised I was up to bugger-all in life”.

His dad found a diploma in environmental management at Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology in Bay of Plenty, which could extend into a bachelor of biological science through Waikato University.

But his previous attempt at higher education had hit his confidence.

“I didn’t think it was very smart that, because I dropped out of uni. I was pretty dark on myself as far as my intelligence went.”

However, the diploma was just up his alley.The course was practical, applied and

exactly what he needed.“My tutors would give me time off just to

go contracting in the bush. I was catching frogs, kiwi, monitoring bats, cutting tracks right the way through.”

In comparison to the lecture theatre, some 50 percent of the learning was out in the field.

“I went from being someone who thought they were crap at academia, to someone who thrived.”

Now the East Coast catchment coordinator for NZ Landcare Trust, his role is to help landowners implement positive land practices, especially where endangered kiwi, karearea and whio are holding on in the bush.

One of the projects he runs with the trust is Eastern Whio Link, which is trying to connect whio populations from Te Urewera to Te Araroa.

The whio project intertwines with another social good — helping steer people away from

stumbling down a rough path in life.“I’ve always taken younger fellas who need a

bit of a run under my wing. We’ve always got younger people coming on doing voluntary stuff with us, and we work them through and we try to hook them up with a job at the end of it.

“Through the Eastern Whio Link project, we’ve had kids who are in state care come out and do work on the project. We’ve got parents who come out and we do parenting programmes, like Building Awesome Whanau.

“We teach them about traditional kai species and rongoa (medicine) — all of these things that were common a few generations ago.”

He says the bush can act like a switch, where people can turn off for a while and reset.

“We take people into the bush and we get them trapping and eating good tucker from the land, and drinking water from the stream. It slows down the pace and helps them come back to a point of balance.”

And now he and his partner Roimata are sharing all this knowledge with their two-year-old son Rehua.

The long game Hamiora wants to see is an abundance of sustainable food from the bush for everyone, but especially for tangata whenua, as well as thriving wildlife.

“There’s no reason why we can’t have kiwi on Titirangi. There’s no reason we can’t have toutouwai (North Island robin) on Titirangi. There’s no reason why we can have whio in the Waihirere stream.

“In Wellington there are kaka flying around everyone’s backyards, there’s kakariki in the park.

“That’s totally achievable for us here, especially with the amount of open space around our city, if we decide it is important to us.”

A POINT OF BALANCE: Hamiora Gibson is a man about the bush, writer and champion of biodiversity. After travelling the world and picking up skills from farms and fiordlands, he came back to Gisborne to help regenerate the land he hails from. Picture supplied

Hamiora Gibson loves the bush. The stories he tells, the life he lives, and even his nickname, Sam the Trap Man, is connected to the great outdoors. He talks to reporter Jack Marshall about his life as an outdoorsman.

You know when the weather starts to warm up, it’s time to plant your tomatoes. Tomatoes are a must-

have in any garden, the feeling of satisfaction as you pick a fresh tomato off your vine is . . . Plus homemade pasta sauce? Yes, please!

Traditionally Labour weekend is the time to plant your tomatoes but any time from September to early January is OK.

Tomatoes thrive in a sunny, sheltered spot, protected from strong winds. It’s important to switch up your planting positions and plant your tomatoes in a different spot from the previous season. This just helps prevent any disease.

Switch it up by planting tomatoes in pots or if you’re low on space you can plant cherry and dwarf tomato varieties in hanging baskets, add some marigolds and herbs to your hanging baskets to attract beneficial insects as well as to ward off any unwanted pests.

Tomatoes aren’t a fan of soil with a low PH. If it’s been raining cats and dogs in your area, we recommend

adding a bit of lime to your soil prior to planting. Lime provides a great source of calcium which encourages healthier and larger fruit and helps prevent blossom rot. Calcium also helps improve the soil structure which encourages earthworm activity.

The Awapuni nursery stocks a variety of tomatoes. If you are planting tomatoes for bottling then our heirloom mix, brandy wine, black Krim, money maker and beefsteak are great options. If you’re after smaller varieties that don’t require a lot of room and are great for salads and picking straight off the vine then the gold nugget, black and red cherry and acid-free tomatoes will do the trick.

Grab your Awapuni seedlings from your local supermarket — The Warehouse or Bunnings store or alternatively order them from our online shop and have them delivered straight to your door.

Once you’ve decided on your varieties and your soil prep is complete, dig a hole approximately 5cm deep and space your tomato

seedlings about 40-50 cm apart. If you’re companion planting, we

recommend planting your tomatoes with basil, marigolds, onions, cosmos, cucumber, lettuce, sage and mint.

Avoid planting with brassicas and corn. Corn is likely to attract fruit worm. We also don’t recommend planting your tomatoes with potatoes as potatoes require quite a lot of nutrients which will reduce the growth of your tomatoes — they’re also likely to cause blight.

Once planted, spray your tomatoes with liquid copper to prevent fungal disease and add some Tui Organic Seaweed to the surrounding soil to encourage larger and juicier fruit.

When it comes to watering, avoid overhead hosing as it could leave your plants more susceptible to diseases like powdery mildew, rust, and blight. You can retain moisture by adding a layer of newspaper around your plants and then cover your newspaper with pea straw or soil.

We hope you have a successful tomato growing season.

Once you grow your own tomatoes, you will never want to go back. Smart planting means picking a good spot. They’re easy to grow and if looked after well, yield plenty of delicious fruit for months, writes Henri Ham, owner of Awapuni Nurseries.

It was the best deal I could find at the time — a direct flight from Auckland to Berlin with an overnight stop in Doha, with Qatar Airways.

I was bound for Berlin to join the World Choir for Peace in a performance of The Armed Man, by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins. The year was 2018, and the performance was to mark the centennial of the end of World War 1.

That part of my trip has been written about in previous articles, but my Doha overnighter has been waiting in the wings.

The flight took off from Auckland at 4.15pm, and 18 hours later — at the time, the longest long-haul flight in the world — we landed at Hamad International Airport, Doha. It was midnight, Qatar time.

Eighteen hours sounds like an awfully long time to be in a Boeing 777, but the time went surprisingly quickly. The flight wasn’t full and I was able to stretch out across a middle row of four empty seats and sleep for a few hours. This was also the long-haul flight where I discovered the latest series of True Detective.

Flight attendants circulated through the cabin throughout the night, offering water and snacks.

I had sent on my big yellow suitcase to Berlin, so just had a day pack with enough for an overnight stay, and my shoulder bag.

Emerging into the arrivals hall at the airport I

saw a fellow holding up an iPad with my name in large letters on the screen. This was the ride I’d booked from New Zealand through the Rideways website, to take me to my hotel, the Warwick Doha.

The drive took about 20 minutes, the expressways relatively quiet at that hour of the night, through this modern city of futuristic skyscrapers. I noticed on the way posters everywhere for the 2022 World Cup, scheduled for the end of next year to be held in Qatar. It will be the first time this famous football tournament has been held in the Arab world.

It was late October and I had read the average day-time temperature could be 35 degrees, with a night time minimum of 24.

I’d packed my togs and made sure the hotel I booked had a pool.

At the Warwick, the pool was on the rooftop, offering uninterrupted views across the Doha skyline, already hazy in the 8am heat.

I don’t think a swim has ever felt as good, stretching out in the cool water after that 18 hour flight and a fitful sleep. It was the only time my togs saw the light of day in my three weeks away, but they didn’t take up a lot of room in my suitcase and it was worth it.

Downstairs I helped myself to a delicious breakfast from the buffet in the dining room.

What to do now? It was before 10 and I didn’t

PARK VIEWS: From the paved pathway to the museum you can look out to a park and the dhow harbour.

have to be back at the airport for my fl ight to Berlin until 2.

My sister and her husband had fl own to Europe earlier in the year, via Doha, and they had recommended a visit to the Museum of Islamic Art.

I inquired at the hotel desk about a taxi to the museum and soon I was on my way. Before this I had asked about getting some Qatar cash and was sent around the corner to another hotel, which had an ATM machine.

� e 6km drive to the museum took about 15 minutes, along a busy city road and then the Corniche, a waterfront promenade which extends for 7km along Doha Bay on the shores of the Persian Gulf.

� e museum is at one end of the Corniche, and is built on an island off an artifi cial projecting peninsula near the traditional dhow harbour.

Chinese American architect I M Pei had to be coaxed out of retirement for the project. He was 91.

� e museum is infl uenced by ancient Islamic architecture yet has a uniquely modern design involving geometric patterns. It is the fi rst of its kind to feature over 14 centuries of Islamic art in the Arab

States of the Persian Gulf.Inside this magnifi cent building is

Islamic art from three continents over 1400 years. Its collection includes metal work, ceramics, jewellery, woodwork, textiles, and glass obtained from three continents and dating from the 7th to the 19th century. It is an astonishing collection, gathered since the late 1980s and including manuscripts, textiles and ceramics. It is one of the world’s most complete collections of Islamic artefacts, with items originating in Spain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, India, and Central Asia.

So prepare to be stunned, impressed, overwhelmed at the breathtaking beauty of the items on display here.

In the atrium of the museum is the MIA cafe with spectacular views of the West Bay skyline from the fi ve-storey, 45m windows. Above is the oculus, at the top of the atrium, which captures and refl ects patterned light within the faceted dome.

At the museum shop I bought a few bits and pieces for gifts, and then ordered a coff ee and a biscuit at the cafe. I sat for a while, enjoying the magnifi cent surroundings.

But time had ticked on and I needed to get back to the hotel for my ride to the

airport. � e hotel had said I would be able to

hail a taxi from outside the museum, but the fi rst two I tried wanted to take me on a tour of Doha fi rst. � ey lost interest in my business when I said I just wanted to get back to my hotel. Which they claimed they’d never heard of anyway.

Not quite panicking, I thought I could manage the walk back to the hotel and thought I knew the way.

Very soon I realised I didn’t really have a clue and it was hot as anything.

Traffi c was travelling very fast along the Corniche and I couldn’t see that I had any chance of hailing a cab.

I went to cross a side road and a limousine stopped nearby. Summoning courage I didn’t know I had, I asked if he could take me back to the Warwick Hotel.

� ankfully he knew where it was and I hopped in. During the ride I noticed there was no meter in the car. When we arrived I asked how much I owed him and he asked how much I thought I should pay! I handed over probably more Qatar currency than I needed to but where else was I going to spend it?

I had packed before going to the museum so after a quick dash to my room to collect

my suitcase and freshen up, I was on my way to the airport for the next stage in my adventure.

• If I’d had time, I would have gone to the Souq Waqif. � e souq sells traditional garments, spices, handicrafts, and souvenirs. It is also home to restaurants and Shisha lounges. � e original building dates back 100 years to the early 20th century and is in a traditional Qatari architectural style. It was renovated in 2006.

• Qatar has one of the world’s largest reserves of petroleum and natural gas and employs large numbers of foreign workers in its production process.

Its expatriate population — 2.3 million in 2017 — far outnumbers the 313,000 Qatari citizens.

Most of them live in Doha. Because of its oil wealth, the country’s

residents enjoy a high standard of living and a well-established system of social services.

THE GISBORNE HERALD

Inside our bodies we host a world one could base a fantasy novel on. Tiny characters in a landscape of blood and tissue take on tactical invaders in a fi ght

between the good and the bad, in a constant battle for homeostasis. When baddies mutate and gather for a fresh attack, the good guys are sometimes caught off guard and unable to strategise. By supplying tools, for example, a vaccine, they can prepare a small but mighty army. Our bodies are remarkably clever. Unfortunately, the brain’s ability to perceive what’s happening is not straightforward. We are subject to fl oods of

information and susceptible to persuasion. Our brain’s ability to extricate good

information from bad information is hindered by social factors including literacy, systemic barriers, culture, personal/collective trauma and economic factors. Social media and technology corporations have reacted to pressure from the public and governments with insipid attempts to temper the deluge of disinformation. � e Centre for Countering Digital Hate found that when people reported misinformation to social media platforms, only one in 20 posts were dealt with.

Although the best approach will rely on a

collaborative, multi-stakeholder response, we are not there yet. Community leaders need to band together to protect citizens from making decisions based on bad information. In this case, life-and-death decisions.

In a Stuff article last week, New Plymouth district councillor Anneke Carlson was criticised by experts for spreading misinformation about vaccinations. However, there does not appear to be any follow-up from NPDC to condemn this behaviour.

In an open letter to the council, anti-disinformation campaigners FACT (Fight Against Conspiracy � eories) — a group

of academics, health professionals and indigenous rights activists — are calling for local government to take a fi rm stance against dis/misinformation. Mayor Neil Holdom has stated the council does not share those “views” but has not asked Carlson to remove her post. At the time of writing this article, her misleading video is still publicly available, along with a new and even more concerning Bitchute video, featuring two OGs (original gangsters) of disinformation, David Icke, who believes reptilian elites are ruling the world, and Judy Mikovits, responsible for the factually barren “Plandemic” video.

In their open letter, FACT request that NPDC censure councillor Carlson. FACT spokesperson Dr Frank Kueppers makes it clear this is not an attack on an individual but a show of solidarity for the section of our society who are vulnerable to disease and will potentially be harmed or die from the Delta strain, due to low vaccination rates. Although the individual councillor’s right to express personal views is protected under the Local Government Act, so too are the rights of the community to live and be healthy under the Human Rights Commission.

One person with a highly infectious virus can shut down an entire ward or surgical department, resulting in many people who don’t get treatment or become infected. Does the right to live and be healthy supersede the right to express an opinion? Especially when that opinion is incorrect and harmful? Is the right to refuse treatment still valid if information from qualifi ed people has been ignored, in favour of “poorly sourced, incorrect or misleading misinformation”?

Historically, the answer has been technically, yes. Our High Court has described the right to refuse medical treatment as a fundamental right under common law. However, evidence provided in the case of New Health v Taranaki District Council, in which water fl uoridation was seen as a breach of the right to refuse treatment, the public health benefi ts justifi ed the limitation on rights.

FACT members and signatories ask the NPDC to consider the rights of the public when dealing with one of their own who is essentially infl uencing a low vaccine uptake. Being immunised is a human rights measure. Under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Government is obliged to protect the public by “prevention, treatment and control of epidemic, endemic, occupational and other diseases” and to recognise the right to “enjoy the benefi ts of scientifi c progress”.

� e United Nations and the World Health Organisation declare that immunisation is a “core health service that should be prioritised and safeguarded during the Covid-19 pandemic”. Freedom of expression, on the other hand, has always been conditional. You can’t yell “fi re” in a crowded theatre. It would be cruel to allow freedom of speech to justify irresponsibility or to ignore the rights and freedoms of others.

FACT suggests that until a collaborative plan is developed to stem the fl ow of dis/misinformation, the best approach is de-platforming. Removing peddlers of disinformation from their soapboxes is a highly eff ective short-term solution to disinformation and online radicalisation. It is as simple as the two-part treatment of a disease. De-platform: stop the spread. And educate: treat the infection.
