"Pushpay has not entered an agreement with any party, including either or both of BGH Capital and Sixth Street, to implement a transaction," it said in a statement to the NZX.

"Pushpay notes that the agreement is not a definitive transaction agreement and can be terminated immediately by either party on notice to the other."

Between them the two foreign investors own 20.3 percent of Pushpay.

Pushpay shares were put on a trading halt pending details of the approaches, but leapt 21 percent to a six-month high when trading resumed.

Last month, Pushpay disclosed it had received unsolicited, non-binding, and conditional expressions of interest or approaches from third parties looking to acquire the company, but had declined to give any details.

"Pushpay is continuing with a process that is already underway and is in an early stage with multiple parties, to explore the potential for a transaction which is in the best interests of shareholders as a whole," it said, adding there was no certainty any transaction would be done.

BGH said a subsidiary, Oceania Trust, had bought more than 3 percent of Pushpay $47.1m in the past couple of weeks and struck a pact with Sixth Street.

"Under the cooperation agreement, the parties have agreed to work together to consider, negotiate and implement the potential acquisition by Oceania and the Sixth Street Entities ... of all or a substantial part of the shares or PPH's assets and business by way of a scheme of arrangement," it said in a statement.

Pushpay, once a hot tech stock on the New Zealand stock exchange, has a market value of about $1.4 billion, although its core business, church donations in the US, has been affected by Covid and the emergence of rivals.

Investment analysts have speculated a price tag of up to $2b for the company.

Nappies and baby bibs will go in alongside bike helmets and running shoes when triathlete Andrea Hansen packs her bags for the upcoming Commonwealth Games.

Just 15 months after giving birth to daughter Flossie, Hansen (nee Hewitt) was one of six selected in New Zealand's triathlon team for Birmingham on Wednesday.

And it was easy to believe the 40-year-old when she said thoughts of competing again never slipped from her mind.

Just two weeks after the arrival of her daughter early last year, the three-time Olympian was back in the water swimming.

Runs with the pram soon followed, while young Flossie was also happy to nod off to the noise of mum's bike whirring away on the indoor wind trainer.

Fast-forward 15 months and Hansen has been named for her fourth Commonwealth Games.

"After having a baby I knew I wanted to get fit again, that was just the goal at the beginning.

"Not knowing how that was going to go, it worked out really well and I got pretty fit, pretty fast.

"I went for it and went to the qualifying races and here I am."

Two seconds and a third in those Oceania Cup qualifying races in New Plymouth, Mt Maunganui and Taupo proved Hansen remained more than competitive.

But she admitted there was more to do ahead of the Games in July.

"Definitely still improving, so the form is coming back.

"I was surprised with my races up North, so definitely still doing pretty well.

"I'm racing in two-and-a-half weeks in Leeds (on the World Series). I'll show on the world stage there what I can do.

Someone who knew all about doing that was Triathlon NZ general manager of performance Hamish Carter.

The 2004 Olympic gold medallist said knowing how determined Hansen was, he was not surprised at her selection.

"A number of athletes when they come back from having a baby seem to be stronger and triathlon is an endurance sport.

"But also, she had to come back and really perform to make the team and she did.

"That's her experience of being able to produce good performances when it matters."

A quality increasingly being shown by Hayden Wilde, the headline name in the six-strong New Zealand triathlon Commonwealth Games team.

Since heading back overseas, the Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist had won the Arena Games in Singapore and finished a close second at the World Series event in Yokohama.

Both have included good battles with the silver medallist from Tokyo, Alex Yee.

Wilde said he was looking forward to another big match-up with his British rival in Birmingham.

"Alex and I would normally come out of the water pretty close to each other and we'll probably work together pretty hard on the bike to bridge the gap up to the front guys.

"We're both same age, still young and learning lots, so it's going to be exciting to have another individual shootout."

Hansen also planned to be standing on the podium.

Already a two-time Commonwealth medallist, the self-described mum of the New Zealand team said being a mum for real hadn't changed her competitive aspirations.

"I'm a different now.

"I definitely still want to be in that mixed relay team and go for a medal.

"My goal is to get a medal [in the relay] and do the best I can in the individual race."

Tokyo Olympians Tayler Reid, Ainsley Thorpe and Nicole van der Kaay, and Commonwealth Games debutant Dylan McCullough rounded out the six-strong New Zealand team for Birmingham.

Third Commonwealth Games medal in sights for new mum Andrea Hansen - RNZ

I swung by ONeills for two containers of sour cream and a bottom round roast, which rang up to exactly $19.84. The freckle-faced cashier seemed of high school age, so I asked if she had read Nineteen Eighty-Four. She had not, which isnt her fault.

But it might make no difference anyway. Orwell himself knew his warning to the future was probably doomed, hinting his pessimism through protagonist Winstons secret alcove jottings:

How could you communicate with the future? It was of its nature impossible. Either the future would resemble the present, in which case it would not listen to him; or it would be different from it, and his predicament would be meaningless.

It is the first scenario that materialized: The future turned out to resemble the present (that is, a brainwashed citizenry) so that Winstons warning has no power to appall. America, once the home of free speech, now has a new federal bureau of speech censorshipand it will produce a big yawn.

ONeills freckle-faced cashier, even if she were to read Nineteen-Eighty-Four at this point, would think it a nothingburger. She has been well marinated in cancel culture, the forbidding of offensive opinions in class, the forbidding of nonmainstream medical views, and the commonplace specter of social network suspensions for violating community standards. Cancellable speech is now how she thinks.

My first thought when Biden announced the Disinformation Governance Board was: Has the man no self-awareness? No sense of irony? Wouldnt you want to conceal this dead ringer for the Ministry of Truth in Orwells dystopian 1949 novel? I myself can hardly pronounce Disinformation Governance Board without an exaggerated Russian accent. And administered under the DHS? You mean the federal department that, only second to the military, is armed to the teeth?

Who, pray tell, will decide what is disinformation? The people who suppressed discussion of Bidens foreign business dealings, berated those who suggested Chinese origins of the pandemic, claimed that all is well at our southern border, and called inflation temporary?

The freckle-faced cashier was driven to work today past yard signs with slogans: Love is love, Science is real, and Hate has no home here. She has no idea of the dark meanings assigned them, or historical or literary context to make a connection with fictional Oceanias War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength.

For those who do see whats happening in our land, how should we live? A good thing is that the worse things get, the more simplified, brass tacks, and less academically pretty our communications may become. Russian novelist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Siberian Gulag prisoner, offers this advice to the individual who feels helpless, in words hurriedly penned the day of his arrest on Feb. 12, 1974:

The simplest and most accessible key to our self-neglected liberation lies right here: Personal non-participation in lies. It is the easiest thing to do for us, but the most devastating for the lies. Because when people renounce lies it simply cuts short their existence. Let us refuse to say that which we do not think.

What follows is a partial list of things Solzhenitsyn suggests for the honest man:

Will not henceforth write, sign, or print in any way a single phrase which in his opinion distorts the truth.

Will utter such a phrase neither in private conversation nor in the presence of many people, neither on his own behalf nor at the prompting of someone else, either in the role of agitator, teacher, educator, nor in a theatrical role.

Will not allow himself to be dragged to a meeting where there can be expected a forced or distorted discussion of a question. Will immediately walk out of a meeting, session, lecture, performance, or film if he hears a speaker tell lies or purvey ideological nonsense or shameless propaganda (Live Not by Lies).

Sounds like something we already heard two thousand years ago: You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free (John 8:32).

[By Anne-Marie Brady]

In the Xi Jinping era, the Chinese Peoples Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (commonly known as the Friendship Association, or Youxie) promotes the Belt and Road Initiative, a strategic, political and economic vehicle driving towards a China-centred global order.

The Friendship Association isa hybrid partystate organisation with three mothers-in-law(to use the argot of the Chinese Communist Party system): the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; the CCP united front organization, the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference; and the CCPs International Liaison Department, which the party uses to conduct foreign policy discussions with foreign political parties.

The Pacific China Friendship Association is Chinas main point of contact for rolling out the Belt and Road Initiative in the Southwest Pacific.

The Pacific branch has been busy.

In 2018, at a meeting of friendship associations from the Americas and Oceania in Hainan, China, Tongas Princess Royal Salote Mafileo Pilolevu Tuita proposed establishing aPearl Maritime Road Initiative, extending the BRI into the Southwest Pacific.

Soon after that, all of Beijings Pacific island diplomatic partners signed agreements on the BRI, with infrastructure development the main theme. Some have already started BRI projects.

In 2019, Siamelie Latu, secretary-general of the Tonga China Friendship Association and a former Tongan ambassador to China, announced that the Pacific China Friendship Association wasworking on a feasibility studyfor a regional airline to connect all Pacific Islands Forum countries with China.

FromKiribati, toVanuatu, toFrench Polynesia, China has repeatedly tried to gain access to militarily significant airfields and ports, all in the name of BRI. Beijing has established military cooperation relations with Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Tonga, and provided police support to Vanuatu and Solomon Islands,frequentlyin combination withhumanitarian aid activities. Just this week, China and Solomon Islands signed a security agreement, despite the protestations of the Australian and US governments.

China is rolling out the Digital Silk Road in the Pacific, using its Pacific embassies to set up ground stations for itsBeidou satellite navigation system. Meanwhile, China makes use of commercial operations for Beidou-equippedreference stationsin the Pacific. Ground stations and reference stations work together to provide centimeter-level accuracy for satellites. Beidou is Chinas GPS equivalent, and it is now on a par with, if not better than, GPS. Like GPS, its a military technology, crucial for missile targeting and timing.

The CCPs political interference and grey-zone activities aim to co-opt Oceanian political and economic elites and to access strategic information, sites and resources in the Southwest Pacific. The establishment of military installations in Oceania could substantially alter the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific. It could cut off the Pacific island nations, Australia and New Zealand from the US and other partners, turning the region into a China-dominated vassal zone.

South Pacific leaders meet regularly to discusscollective securityandgeostrategicmattersin other words, joint concerns about China. However, their worries about this relationship are usually onlyhintedat and rarely madepublic, and their overriding priority tends to be development. China offers assistance with development projects but, unlike most donors, the loan must be paid back, with interest. The Cook Islands, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu all have crippling levels of debt to China.

Pacific island leaders tend to have a strong sense of history. Few would welcome dependency on China, or the Pacific turning into a Sinocentric order. Yet a degree of reactivity towards calls for vigilance about the CCPs malign activities is usually couched in anti-European, anti-colonial rhetoric.

Given the continued presence of historic colonial powers in the region, its been easy for some to conflate concern about the real dangers of CCP political interference and grey-zone activitieswhen expressed by Western actorswith neo-colonialism and calls ofwhataboutism.

This conflation plays into CCP narratives seeking to equate the party with the Chinese people, recasting any critique that its inherently racist. But imperial power and racism are by no means a monopoly of Western powers.

Theres real a danger that in their kneejerk response against Western colonialism, Pacific elites will embrace external domination in a new and more dangerous form. The air of schadenfreude that some segments of the Pacific elite display towards traditional Pacific powers will be a short-lived pleasure if they cant transcend this reactionism and recognize the need to plan a way forward in an era of dangerous strategic competition.

Perhaps surprisingly to some, the return of a more active role of the US, UK, Japan, India and the EU in the Pacific, and a resurgence of Australian, New Zealand and French presence and assistance, has beenappreciatedandwelcomedby many Pacific governments. But Pacific leaders want to be treated as equals, not pawns in an international power play, and not as somenameless group of islandsin a strategically important region. The US, EU and other partners need to take the time to better understand the individual countries of the Pacific, their histories and their concerns.

Its especially important that Pacific nations not just be the subject of analysis about CCP political interference in the region. They should be drawn into the international conversation. Pacific civil society must be engaged in this work too, not just governments. In many of the Pacific states, elements within the government are already compromised, and they will not welcome discussions on CCP political interference. Further, CCP united front work is often comingled into corruption and organized crime, which has entangled many political and policy actors, making raising the issues even more difficult.

Pacific journalists also needmore supportso they can do the due diligence that will enable a factual, informed, depoliticized and public conversation about the CCPs foreign interference activities in their respective states and territories.

The Dracovish being given away is based on the one used by competitor Marco Silva during the 2020 Pokemon Oceania International Championships.

The European International Championships kick off on Friday, Apr. 22, and run through Sunday, Apr. 24, with dedicated tournaments for Pokemon Sword and Shield, Pokken Tournament DX, Pokemon Go and the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Each competition will be streamed on its own Twitch channel. You can learn more about when each stream will begin and how to watch them on the official Pokemon website.

Spice up your small talk with the latest tech news, products and reviews. Delivered on weekdays.
