Million-dollar dumps: Auckland's $5.8m Carlile House deemed 'dangerous building'

Carlile House in Auckland’s Grey Lynn is slowly crumbling away.

Its owners, the United Church of Tonga, claim the land’s significance as home to the first Tongan congregation in New Zealand is being neglected by Auckland Council, in favour of its history as an orphanage, preventing the site from being developed.

Because of the building's status as a category one historic place and a stalemate with Auckland Council, Carlile House cannot be repaired or demolished.

However, the situation has recently become of higher concern to both parties, following the recent partial collapse of the building’s roof.

Stowaway mouse snared by biosecurity dog

A stowaway mouse has prompted a warning for people to check their gear carefully before visiting Auckland's Hauraki Gulf.

The caution follows capture of the creature which was hoping to spend a relaxing weekend on an island in the gulf.

The mouse was spotted darting out of a passenger's bag and scurrying onto a pest-free warranted vessel.

“This is a timely reminder of why bio-security practices are so important and why we ask passengers and boaties to check their gear carefully before heading out onto the gulf,” said Hauraki Gulf bio-security manager Liz Brooks.

“Most of the gulf islands are pest free and home to a wide range of rare and endangered birds. The “check, clean, close” message is a serious one and there to help protect those native birds.’

The mouse remained at large for three days, eluding all attempts of capture before Auckland Council's bio-security team called in Rosie the rodent detection dog.

She uncovered a chewed glove in the passenger's bag where the mouse had been living.

Rosie soon tracked down the mouse's hiding place, traps were set and the stowaway was caught.

"We were lucky the mouse was spotted before it had the opportunity to get onshore on one of the many pest-free islands," said dog handler Kerryn Johnson.

Covid-19: Pilot programme launched for students stuck in China due to travel bans

Chinese resident Jiayi ​Tang​’s plans to study in New Zealand were quashed last year when the country barred travellers from China and Iran as the Covid-19 pandemic raged.

But the Massey University student is persevering with her spatial design course thanks to a new pilot programme launched by the university with a varsity in China.

A learning centre has opened this year at Nanjing​ University of Finance and Economics where students can join classmates for online classes delivered by Massey University, backed by local learning support advisors.

“At first, I was like a fish out of water,” said Tang, a third year student in the College of Creative Arts.

“I felt stress on my study work without the chance of face-to-face with a teacher on campus,” the 20-year-old said.

“[Being] without a tutor in front of me is the biggest challenge and difficult for me.”

But the online course had turned out to be the best solution for Tang and her three classmates, she said.

Massey Business School student Jingyan​ Zhang​’s plans to study at the Auckland campus were also thwarted last year.

Zhang said he had been looking forward to seeing New Zealand’s beautiful views.

But the 24-year-old had spent a lot of time away from home before the pandemic hit.

“Now I have more time with my family and my friends, so I think it is not a bad thing for me.”

While learning online was more difficult than lessons with a tutor, the course was good, he said.

In his final semester, Zhang is part of a class of nearly 80 business students.

“I have got a lot of good friends here,” he said.

Zhang said he did a lot of meaningful things at the Nanjing campus, including forming the student union.

“... We go on trips together, go fishing, play a game of basketball and study.”

The online classes are being rolled out to 100 current students from Massey Business School and the College of Creative Arts, with potential to expand the programme into other disciplines during the second semester.

The Massey learners share access to the library, gyms, sports facilities and student canteen at the Nanjing college.

“We are committed to providing an excellent learning experience for our international students, which includes supporting them in developing these types of communities, ... to study together with peers in a welcoming environment with other students at NUFE...” said Massey deputy vice-chancellor of students and global engagement Tere​ McGonagle-Daly.​

Massey University has campuses in Albany, Auckland, Wellington and Palmerston North.

It is working with the New Zealand government on options to welcome international students back to campus when it is deemed safe, a Massey University spokesperson said.
