Excellent results 

following supervised 

exercise sessions 

After receiving physiotherapy following a broken 

collarbone, Myfanwy Taylor was referred to 

UniRec’s MediFit Programme in order to rebuild 

the strength in both of her shoulders. 

UNIREC 

SPECIALIST 

PROGRAMMES 

Supervised by qualified 

Clinical Exercise Physiologist 

Kristina Driller, Medi- 

Fit is a group-based exercise 

programme designed to cater 

for people affected by a range 

of pre-existing or current medical 

conditions, including; osteoporosis, 

arthritis, epilepsy, 

diabetes, obesity and more. 

Having seen significant 

improvement following the 

completion of her first series 

of MediFit sessions, Myfanwy 

has now started her second 

round of sessions with the 

aim of continuing to improve 

her health and wellbeing. We 

caught up with Myfanwy to 

find out more. 

How did you first hear 

about UniRec’s MediFit Programme? 

After undergoing a course 

of excellent treatment following 

a broken right collarbone 

and ongoing injury to my left 

shoulder, my physiotherapist 

recommended the MediFit 

programme. I was a little apprehensive 

as I have avoided 

gyms since secondary school. 

However, it was important to 

improve the strength in both 

of my shoulders so I decided to 

give it a go. 

Describe your experience 

with the programme 

and tell us about the impact 

which attending the sessions 

has had upon your health. 

I was provided with an easyto-understand 

programme 

designed around my own individual 

requirements and immediately 

found the supervised 

sessions to be very enjoyable. 

The group-setting provides an 

encouraging atmosphere and 

the staff – Kristina, Maria and 

Tamaki - are incredibly knowledgeable, 

supportive and 

friendly. 

After notable improvements 

in the strength of my shoulders 

and upper arms following 

my first series of sessions, 

I returned to start a second 

series focused upon helping to 

improve my balance as well as 

to reduce the intermittent pain 

which affects my groin and 

buttocks. Again, I have noticed 

significant improvement after 

six sessions. I’d strongly recommend 

the programme to 

anyone who has sustained an 

injury and would benefit from 

undertaking regular exercise. I 

have already recruited two of 

my friends to join me in the 

sessions! 

Will you continue to exercise 

following the completion 

of your second series of 

sessions? 

Yes, I intend to maintain 

my membership and attend 

UniRec’s LifeFit classes (a programme 

designed for seniors 

and easy exercisers). I am also 

considering attending the 

weekly yoga classes which are 

offered within the centre in order 

to help further improve my 

balance and flexibility. 

For a one-time ‘gymophobe’, 

Krissie and the team 

have turned my attitude on its 

head and I no longer use my 

previous go-to line of “My daily 

walk is enough to keep me 

fit and healthy, thank you!” 

The entire staff (including the 

wonderful reception team) 

and other members help to 

create a real sense of belonging 

which encourages you to 

feel comfortable and relaxed.

Hamilton greypower Magazine – March 2017 3

President’s Report 

The silly season is over - hope you had a good 

one. It's back to work for most. The Hamilton 

Grey Power Office is in full swing preparing for the 

new financial year. 

BY ROGER HENNEBRY 

HAMILTON GREY POWER 

PRESIDENT 

We have had a very 

good year with membership 

standing at 

1629 with 1425 paid up - 199 

unpaid. Our membership fluctuates 

by about 200 each year. 

Subs are due by March 31 

and a new membership card 

will be supplied to you with a 

light green sticker for the 17/18 

year. 

I point this out so you will 

not be confused with what 

will be the ‘old’ blue card after 

March. 

Renewing membership is a 

big task for our volunteers. 

You can help us by paying 

early so we can reply early but 

remember that currently mail 

can take up to three or four 

days. 

John Key’s resignation as 

PM came as a shock to many, 

reminding us a General Election 

is looming. 

I know Grey Power is a- 

political but we do need to get 

real! 

Gold Card members are 

falling behind financially and I 

don’t care what they say, today’s 

Super does not buy what 

it used to. 

Housing, rent, insurance, 

electricity and gas... and increased 

council rates too which 

make it harder. We need to 

look at the political parties carefully. 

To this end I hope at our future 

seminars we will have the 

major parties presenting. 

Winston Peters always takes 

up the opportunity to come to 

Hamilton. 

Will we get Andrew Little 

and Bill English to present? 

Watch this space. 

Our local Grey Power mag 

news gatherers are looking for 

help. 

We currently print four issues 

per year but if we can’t 

get help we may have to drop 

to three editions per year. 

We really do need input 

from you. 

Your contributions make it 

more down to earth and interesting 

for other members. 

We are so keen to hear your 

stories, that we’ll put all contributors’ 

names in a draw 

from which a lucky three will 

win $50 each. Give it a go. 

You might be one of the lucky 

ones. 

On behalf of Grey Power 

I will be presenting to the 

Waikato Regional Council on 

its proposed Healthy Rivers 

Plan for Change - Part 1 of a 

bold, long term response to 

address water quality issues 

for the Waipa and Waikato 

rivers. Costing tens of milllion$ 

over 80 years with $3 

million just proposed in council’s 

Annual Plan for year one. 

Who will pay? 

Grey Power Hamilton will 

also be making submissions to 

the Hamilton City Council on 

its annual plan. Water meters 

and privatisation of water are 

hot topics and not supported 

by your committee. 

This will be the last magazine 

before the AGM on May 

31. I’ve enjoyed representing 

you and I will be putting my 

name forward again. 

I would to thank my deputy 

Jack for all the effort he has 

put into Grey Power especially 

the Monday morning seminars. 

He hasn’t been well and 

has decided to stand down 

from his positions. The committee 

will be organising the 

speakers in future but knowing 

Jack he will be there on 

Monday mornings to add his 

tuppence worth. I am looking 

for a replacement for Jack, see 

me if you are interested in doing 

this role.

Petition calls for return 

of community constables 

Feeling safe is important to the enjoyment and 

quality of life in the community. Part of the feeling 

of security is achieved by the pro-active roll of the 

police and a petition launched by an Hamilton 

community centre seeks the return of dedicated 

community police officers. 

In the early 1990s an allout 

effort was undertaken 

to established Community 

Policing Centres around 

New Zealand. These were 

staffed with a full-range of 

specialised personnel who set 

about getting to know their 

areas, and the local criminal 

elements, in detail. 

Purpose-built centres were 

established in West Hamilton, 

Hamilton East, Nawton, 

Hamilton North, Te Rapa and 

Glenview-Melville with publiccounter 

facilities. They now 

stand empty or have been repurposed. 

A national policy released 

in 2015 picked out 30 policing 

centres nationwide for closure 

including most in Hamilton, 

apparently as a cost-cutting 

move. 

The Te Rapa and Melville 

community policing centres 

were closed along with 

West Hamilton, Nawton and 

Hamilton North. Staff were 

reallocated to other policing 

centres or to the central 

station. 

In February Police 

Minister Paula Bennett 

said a four-year $388 

million ‘Safer Communities’ 

package would include 

500 beat and community 

policing officers among 880 

extra sworn staff aimed at 

strengthening emergency 

response and a focus on 

youth offending, burglaries 

and community crime. 

‘’Knowing there is a nearby 

police presence at all times is 

something the community 

expects,’’ she said. 

Western Community 

Centre manager Neil Tolan 

said the centre strongly 

advocated for the return 

of community police who 

worked in and focused 

within neighbourhoods 

across Hamilton - but had 

been ignored - and so 

launched a petition. 

Mr Tolan said having been 

established in the early 1990s, 

community-based police 

services have been dismantled 

over the past four years 

predominantly due to a freeze 

in funding. 

‘’For almost 25 years I have 

worked closely with police 

in the Hamilton west area. 

Myself and thousands of 

residents have seen the value 

in the work of community 

constables. It is a specialised 

and needed police service. 

‘’We have been advocating 

this issue for the past four 

years and will continue to 

talk about this piece of social 

infrastructure that is missing 

in our community and across 

Hamilton communities.

Mr Tolan’s views were 

echoed by Te Whare Kokonga 

- Melville Community House, 

manager Sharlene Roberts 

who said the dedicated 

constables provided a valuable 

link in the community on 

several levels. 

Melville had police officers 

dedicated to the area and 

based in the former Richmond 

Park School near to the 

community house. 

‘’We had a talk when the 

move to centralise police 

was first undertaken. Small 

communities like Nawton and 

us. It was supposed to a trial 

but we knew it wasn’t going 

to be.’’ 

Ms Roberts said other 

police would come in to patrol 

the area but they could be a bit 

‘staunch’. 

‘’Because they knew 

the people, the dedicated 

community constables 

provided a valuable between 

families and individuals that 

needed help and support and 

some of the services available,’’ 

Ms Roberts was supportive 

of the petition in an effort to 

have dedicated community 

constables re-established. 

Former West Hamilton 

police senior sergeant Carl 

Fischer who spent 12 years 

leading community policing 

in West Hamilton said 

Community Policing Centres 

were designed to provide a 

complete policing service and 

were fully staff with CIB, Youth 

Aid, burglary investigators and 

front line staff responsible for 

delivering all services in the 

area. 

‘’Local staff got to know 

the local crims. Crime figures 

dropped considerably, 30 

percent of burglaries were 

solved as opposed to about 

16 percent now. But it is not 

a cheap option. The police 

(administration) say there are 

better ways of doing things. 

This is not working - compare 

the statistic over the past 10 

years with the appalling rate 

of clearances for dishonesty 

offences now. We still have 

a WINZ office in Dinsdale 

providing a service to clients - 

pro-active policing works and 

we want our police stations 

staffed again.’’ 

Police Association president 

Chris Cahill said while local 

knowledge was a valuable part 

of policing it was resourceintensive 

when there were 

many competing demands for 

police resources. 

‘’You could have a 

community policing station 

in an area where there is very 

little demand. It is not a good 

use of resources to have an 

officer stuck in a building. 

I can understand from 

the point of view of older 

people that they like the reassurance 

of having a police 

presence and with the extra 

police numbers announced 

there may be a possibility of 

re-visiting the issue.’’ 

Mr Cahill said a return to 

community policing, as it had 

been, had not been identified 

among initiatives including 

those targeted at organised 

crime and family violence. 

However, proposals including 

a new national 24/7 number 

for non-emergencies and 12 

mobile policing units in areas 

where they are most needed 

including smaller towns and 

rural areas, may help to allay 

public frustration. 

Waikato district commander 

Bruce Bird was not available 

to comment on the matter. 

Waikato police had also had 

no confirmation of numbers 

of new resources so were also 

unable to comment on what 

might come our way. 

However, Mr Bird has 

previously acknowledged that 

police were open to discussion 

around policing models. 

The public petition to 

Parliament, calling for the 

reintroduction of dedicated 

community police officers, 

has been organised through 

the Western Community 

Centre and can be seen on 

the counter at the centre in 

Hyde Ave in Nawton and

Healthy rivers plan - but who will pay? 

Healthy Rivers now referred to as Plan Change 1 

is still the most topical item for most rural people. 

Ignore it at your peril! 

We all know that the 

Plan was adopted by Regional 

Council days before 

the elections last year. 

The vote was tied 7 for 

and 7 against with then 

Chair Southgate using her 

casting vote to push the plan 

through. 

The process in developing 

the Plan was then successfully 

challenged in the court by 

Hauraki Iwi which resulted in 

a reasonably large area of the 

catchment being removed 

from the plan while council 

consults with Hauraki Iwi. 

The next court case was 

then initiated by a number 

of farmer organisations 

challenging the process that 

council had undertaken. 

This looks set to go to 

court around the middle of 

the year. 

Already $14million has 

been spent on activating this 

plan. 

In February this year council 

discussed changes to its 

annual plan and budget for 

the next year commencing 

July 1, 2017. One proposed 

change was to include an additional 

sum of $1.68m for 

capital expenditure required 

to implement the proposed 

Plan together with a further 

$1.068m for operational 

work associated with the 

Plan. This was approved by 

majority vote as well as the 

decision not to consult the 

community on this change as 

it was being loan funded and 

as such will have minimum 

effect on rates. 

Council had engaged consultants, 

Insight Economics in 

Auckland to review the funding 

options for implementing 

the proposed Plan. 

Their estimate was a total 

cost of $19.8m over 10 years. 

They further recommended 

that this was funded by all 

ratepayers not just farmers. 

What was of concern was 

their advice “that economic 

modelling suggests that the 

Plan will reduce farming profits 

by around four percent per 

annum, which is significant”. 

Town and country folk 

alike are encouraged to submit 

on any part of the proposed 

Plan. 

Do you support or oppose 

it? 

Remember all submissions 

must be made by March 8, 

2017.

Maturing with dignity 

As we age there are certain obvious changes 

that occur. Our muscles begin to soften and 

sag, we can gradually lose our muscle strength 

and some of us start to slow down. 

We may need glasses 

to read the small 

print, hearing may 

be compromised and mobility 

will possibly begin to decrease. 

But we are still okay. 

We want to continue as 

we have in the past. Our 

minds are sharp and we still 

feel as though we are fifty. 

However there are also 

less obvious changes that 

are occurring and if neglected 

can really compromise 

your quality of life, putting 

a stop to many outings and 

both social and physical activities. 

Do you have complete 

control over your bladder 

or does it control you? 

Are you ever anxious that 

you might wet yourself? Do 

you worry where the next 

toilet may be? Do you need 

the toilet often? Do you minimise 

your fluid intake to 

stay safe? 

Do you have nights interrupted 

by toilet visits? Do 

you need to wear pads or 

liners? 

When these changes 

start to occur it is common 

for people to moderate their 

activities to avoid being left 

in a compromising situation. 

The issues are private and 

often not shared. They will 

not go away and the consequences 

will gradually get 

worse. 

Pelvic floor neglect is not 

unusual. Various strategies 

are implemented to cope 

Attention all women... 

Do you have a wetting problem? 

When you cough, sneeze, 

laugh, run, jump, dance... 

• Do YOU plan outings around 

toilet stops? 

• Do YOU need spare underwear 

“just in case”? 

• Do YOU go to the toilet twice 

or more a night? 

• Do YOU have problems with 

bowel function? 

• Do YOU have decreased sexual 

sensation? 

You do not need to put up with this problem!

Paraprosdokiansa 

The first time I heard about 

paraprosdokians, I liked 

them. Paraprosdokians 

are figures of speech in which 

the latter part of a sentence 

or phrase is surprising or 

unexpected and is frequently 

humorous. (Winston Churchill 

loved them.) 

1. Where there's a will, I want 

to be in it. 

2. The last thing I want to do 

is hurt you.... but it's still on 

my list. 

3. Since light travels faster than 

sound, some people appear 

bright until you hear them 

speak. 

4. If I agreed with you, we'd 

both be wrong. 

5. We never really grow up.... 

we only learn how to act in 

public. 

6. War does not determine 

who is right, only who is left. 

7. Knowledge is knowing a 

tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is 

not putting it in a fruit salad. 

8. To steal ideas from one 

person is plagiarism. To steal 

from many is research. 

9. I didn't say it was your fault, 

I said I was blaming you. 

10. In filling out an application, 

where it says, "In case of 

emergency, notify...." I 

answered, "a doctor." 

11. Women will never be equal 

to men until they can walk 

down the street with a 

bald head and a beer gut, 

and still think they are sexy. 

12. I used to be indecisive, but 

now I'm not so sure. 

13. To be sure of hitting the 

target, shoot first and call 

whatever you hit the target. 

14. Going to church doesn't 

make you a Christian, any 

more than standing in a 

garage makes you a car. 

15. I'm supposed to respect 

my elders, but it's getting 

harder and harder for me

Your life’s story 

It’s often not until someone dies that families 

realise there’s a great deal about mum or 

dad’s early life they don’t know. 

They may have heard snippets 

over the years, but 

there are many gaps and 

some interesting facts have 

simply never come to light. A 

common situation is different 

members of the family know 

different things, or have conflicting 

views as to the correct 

version of a story. 

Sadly, the one person who 

can set the record straight is no 

longer there. 

This potential problem can 

be overcome by a service offered 

by former newspaper 

editor, Dennis Trotter, who interviews 

individuals (and family 

members, if required) to create 

a script titled “Your Life’s 

Story”. 

In most instances people 

choose a fairly basic review 

of their life, from childhood, 

through their working and 

married life, parenthood, business 

or employment, sporting 

interests, hobbies and eventual 

retirement. Something suitable 

for reading as an eulogy 

can be produced for as little 

as $300-$500. Others opt for 

something more extensive and 

are happy to spend $1500 or 

more. 

Following an initial, noobligation 

interview, Dennis is 

able to give an estimate of cost 

before undertaking an assignment. 

He was prompted to establish 

his business after being frequently 

asked to prepare information 

for eulogies which he is 

sometimes asked to deliver. 

“I enjoy interviewing families 

and learning about their 

loved ones. But it is easier to 

Let me write 

“Your Life’s Story” 

interview the subject personally. 

After all, who knows the 

story better than the person 

who is the main character?” 

he says. “Also, while family 

members may have an opinion 

on the most significant aspects 

of their loved one’s life, the 

person themselves may have a 

different view.” 

Something that has been a 

pleasant surprise to Dennis is 

the number of adult children 

who request his services to 

write their parents’ life story. 

He now has gift vouchers 

which are proving popular and 

Grid n°26277 medium 

serve as a catalyst to get this 

task completed before it’s too 

late. 

Most “You Life’s Story” assignments 

are completed with 

6-7 days. They involve the interview, 

writing, a review of 

the draft script and, following 

acceptance and approval, the 

printing of a hard copy. Clients 

are also given a copy of 

the script in electronic form so 

that it can be easily added to at 

some later stage. 

Dennis can best be contacted

Easing access to medical 

cannabis a good move 

The Grey Power Federation has commended 

the Government for finally easing access to 

medical cannabis. 

Associate Health Minister 

Peter Dunne recently 

announced that authority 

to approve applications for 

non-pharmaceutical grade medicinal 

cannabis will be held by 

Ministry of Health professionals 

rather than the minister. 

Grey Power Federation president 

Tom O’Connor said there 

has been a long campaign by 

several groups and individuals 

seeking a relaxation of the law 

around cannabis use. 

“Unfortunately the genuine 

needs of seriously ill people 

were clouded by a noisy 

group seeking the right to 

grow their own cannabis 

for recreational use and so 

called self-medication. 

“We had a bit of a stoush 

Comprehensive Eye Examinations only $79 

07 829 4975 

1158 River Road, Flagstaff, Hamilton 

www.flagstaffeyecare.co.nz 

with them a few months ago 

when they jumped on the 

band wagon but we tossed 

them off again,” said Tom. 

In our discussions with 

Health Minister Jonathan Coleman 

and Associate Health 

Minister Peter Dunne both 

promised to give careful consideration 

to our request to 

make access for people in genuine 

need easier. 

Until now it could take several 

months for an application 

to be approved and then only 

fully tested products were considered. 

“We saw no justification 

in people suffering when 

help could be made available 

much faster and easier.” 

Tom said: “There is a 

world of difference between 

cannabis-based pharmaceuticals, 

fully tested or otherwise, 

and home grown cannabis 

for self-medication, 

which the federation did not 

support. 

“There is still some way to 

go in terms of making a greater 

range of products available 

and funded by Pharmac but 

this is a very good start which 

probably could have been 

made earlier if the recreational 

use lobby had not slowed the 

process,” he said. 

Monday morning meetings 

Monday Morning 

Meetings. River 

Lounge at the Celebrating 

Age Centre commencing 

at 10.30 am. 

The Hamilton GreyPower 

Committee has decided that 

because of the ongoing problems 

in getting speakers who 

are both interesting and free to 

speak during the day, it is going 

to limit speakers to once 

a month. This will be the last 

Monday of the month . 

The good news is that on 

the Mondays where there is 

no speaker, we will have a coffee 

morning for members to 

meet, greet and get to know 

each other… something that 

tended not to happen when 

people were simply sitting and 

listening. 

Even better coffee, tea and 

milo will be served FREE of 

charge. 

An informal coffee morning 

will give members the opportunity 

to talk to their committee 

and we will arrange discussion 

sessions on a topical 

subjects or things suggested 

by the group. We want your 

input and we will be guided by 

your views and ideas. 

We recently enjoyed a very 

interesting talk from Tony Armstrong 

– rates control team. 

On March 27 we will host 

Barry Quayle, Fieldays general 

manager for 20 years. Barry 

will share some interesting stories 

about Fieldays which has 

grown from small beginnings 

to an international event drawing 

visitors from all around the 

world. 

We appreciate all those 

members who regularly attended 

our meetings during 

2016 and we welcome any 

other members who would 

like to come along to either 

hear a speaker or to simply to 

enjoy coffee and a chat. We 

would dearly like to see more 

of you attending and hope this 

new format will bring more of 

you along.

Power Annual General Meeting 

will be held on Monday,

Are you having problems 

with your vision? 

There are many causes of vision loss, and conditions of the eye 

such as Cataract and Glaucoma, that we can diagnose and treat. 

One specific disease called Macular Degeneration causes progressive 

loss of vision in the centre of your visual field but leaving your 

peripheral or side vision intact. 

It is the leading cause of legal blindness and severe vision loss in New Zealand 

(It does not result in total or ‘black’ blindness). One in seven New Zealanders 

over the age of 50 years are affected. Smokers are three times more likely to 

develop the disease and at least a decade earlier than non-smokers. People 

with a family history of macular degeneration have a 50% chance 

of developing the disease. 

Symptoms may include 

Difficulty with reading or any other activity that requires fine vision 

Everything looks blurred or distorted 

Distinguishing faces becomes difficult 

Dark patches or empty spaces in the centre of your vision

If you are concerned about your vision you should talk to your GP or Optometrist, 

or contact us to find out about an appointment with one of our specialists. Our email for an

Scammers swipe almost $12,000 

Shirley McGuire, co-owner of green world health 

and Lifestyle in Motueka, was approached by a 

telephone scammer claiming to be from Spark. 

BY MARTIN DE RUYTER 

A 

Motueka business owner 

has been left feeling 

violated after a phone 

scammer nearly got away with 

$12,000 of her and her husband's 

life savings. 

This follows a warning from 

police last week after three elderly 

residents in the Tasman 

district were scammed out 

of $120,000 through phone 

scams. 

Shirley said she wanted to 

warn others not to unwittingly 

"open the door" to those 

who called and pretended to 

be from legitimate companies. 

"They use trusted names," 

Shirley said after a person 

claiming to work for Spark 

called her green world health 

& Lifestyle store on Wednesday, 

under the guise of addressing 

a faulty modem. 

"He introduced himself 

by name and he said they'd 

been monitoring the modem 

and it hadn't been working 

properly." 

Shirley said she and her husband, 

Mike, had just bought a 

new Spark modem and had 

been having difficulties with 

internet dropping in and out, 

so the call seemed legitimate. 

The man used the "right 

technical language" which 

made her even more assured 

that he was legitimate. 

He told her a technician 

would come and replace some 

equipment the next day, and 

even gave a false name, Spark 

staff ID number, and appointment 

time. 

The phone scammer ran a 

diagnostic through the computer 

after Shirley had given 

him remote access through 

Teamviewer software. It 

seemed to fix errors and alerts, 

"Other professionals who 

have come and done work on 

my computer have used Teamviewer 

so I didn't think anything 

of that," she said. 

The man told her the computer 

and router were faulty 

and she was owed $900 by 

Spark, and he would transfer 

the money into her bank 

account as "they weren't allowed 

to use cheques". 

He then told her to log into 

her internet banking to check 

the money had gone in. 

Because the Teamviewer 

software was still running, the 

scammer was able to access to 

her account, but Shirley said 

she hadn't put two-and-two 

together. 

"The computer screen kept 

going black and I said: 'what's 

happening'? and he said" 

'don't worry ma'am, we're 

giving you $900 and I'm just 

trying to put it into your account'." 

When $9000 appeared in 

the account both Shirley and 

her husband became suspicious. 

She said the man tried to 

assure her it had been a mistake 

and they needed to give 

him back the money or he'd 

lose his job, but her husband 

didn't buy it. 

The couple hung up the 

call, rang their bank, and got 

the ANZ account closed just 

in time. 

"What we didn't realise is 

[the scammers] had just transferred 

the $9000 from our 

credit account," she said. 

ANZ closed the account just 

minutes before the scammers 

completed a $12,000 withdrawal. 

Shirley said it had been an 

emotional couple of days and 

she kept feeling distraught 

that she'd nearly lost them so 

much money. 

"You think you're an intelligent 

person and that you're 

doing the right thing [in cooperating 

with the caller]," 

she said. 

"I just keep thinking about 

my responsibility in it. It really 

does affect you because you 

think 'I opened the door that 

let them in ...'" 

She didn't want to go 

through life suspecting people 

but felt it was important to be 

aware of the dangers of these 

kinds of scams. 

Shirley said if people were 

cold-called they should ask the 

caller for a phone number and 

offer to call them back. 

If the caller was legitimate 

they'd be able to give a local 

number that could be verified. 

Police told her that a lot of 

people had been hit in Motueka, 

and many people had lost 

a lot of money in similar scams. 

Shirley said they were 

pleased the bank moved so 

quickly and prevented them 

from losing their savings. 

ANZ spokesperson Stefan 

Herrick said there had been 

three reported scam attempts 

in Motueka and Richmond in 

the space of two hours on 

Wednesday afternoon, and 

there may have been more 

they weren't aware of. 

New Zealand Bankers' Association 

(NZBA) spokesperson 

Philip van Dyk said these 

scams were not an uncommon 

occurrence. 

"These scams are happening 

all the time regrettably, 

and the main thing we're 

asking people to do is be vigilant 

and take care," Mr van 

Dyk said. 

"The horrible thing is 

fraudsters are always looking 

for new ways to trick people 

into providing confidential information 

which allows them 

to access bank accounts." 

NZBA advises people to 

never give out confidential 

information such as PIN numbers 

or bank account usernames. 

It's also issued a reminder 

that utility companies, such 

as telcos, will never transfer 

you to your bank or ask for 

access to your bank account.

Shining a light on elder abuse and neglect 

Seniors Minister Maggie Barry is calling for a 

light to be shone on elder abuse over concerns 

the 2000 documented cases each year 

represent only a small part of thousands more 

that go unreported. 

At an event to mark 

World Elder Abuse 

Awareness Day, the 

Minister said it was time to 

bring the issue out of the 

shadows. 

“It still is the secret a lot of 

people don’t talk about and 

until we do shed light on this 

dark space, we don’t really 

know the extent of the problem,” 

Ms Barry says. 

“We know there are many 

others that occur. Based on 

our population, if you look 

at international trends, there 

would be more than 17,000 

cases a year.” 

The Minister was joined 

by three SuperSeniors Champions; 

high-profile advocates 

for older people. 

Actor Dame Kate Harcourt 

told the audience 

“ageing is not for sissies” 

and advised seniors to appoint 

a power of attorney 

to keep their finances safe. 

Champion weightlifter Precious 

McKenzie recommended 

keeping fit to remain 

sharp while Dame 

Malvina Major, who said she 

was “retiring” very soon, 

outlined work commitments 

which will keep the international 

opera star connected 

to the community. 

That connection is vital 

for seniors’ self esteem and 

wellbeing as they age. 

In launching a new survey, 

‘Attitudes Towards Ageing’, 

the Minister revealed many 

seniors reported feeling 

lonely and isolated despite 

eight out of 10 people having 

respect for older people. 

“Social isolation and loneliness 

among our seniors is 

particularly concerning as it 

increases vulnerability to elder 

abuse and neglect. 

“I want people to be 

aware of the many forms and 

nuances elder abuse takes. 

“It takes a village and a 

very aware community, to 

ensure our vulnerable people 

are kept safe. We all need 

to be diligent and aware of 

what can go wrong.” 

The Government directly 

funds 27 elder abuse and 

neglect prevention services 

and last year the Minister 

launched Community Connects, 

an umbrella programme 

to encourage agefriendly 

communities, and 

reduce social isolation.
