C.S. Lewis: God’s PR Man — by David H Lane

by Leave a Comment

David Lane SPCS. David H Lane recalls the life of C.S. Lewis, a literary giant of the 20th century, and the vision he sought so passionately to communicate through the witness of his life and writings.

Lane’s article “C.S. Lewis: God’s PR man” was published as a feature in New Zealand’s Christian Newspaper – The Challenge Weekly – on 5 December 2005 and on the website of the Wellington Christian Apologetics Society Inc. It was first published in the Evening Post (Wellington, New Zealand) on Thursday 26 November 1998 to mark the centenary of the birth of Clive Staples Lewis on 29 November 1898 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. See PDF: CS Lewis Evening Post

The article drew a number of responses from readers of the Evening Post in its Letters to the Editor columns, in the days following publication. C.S. Lewis died on 22 November 1963 and he was a novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian, and Christian apologist.

Listed Chinese firm targets Lochinver and other NZ farm assets

by Leave a Comment

The National Business Review reported yesterday in its lead story:

The goal posts have shifted in the deal to buy Lochinver Station with a second Chinese company now involved in the overseas investment application process.

NBR ONLINE has learned Shenzhen-listed Hunan Dakang Pasture Farming is raising capital to acquire the New Zealand acquisition vehicle from Shanghai Pengxin Group.

The deal includes 16 Crafar farms and the 75% stake in Canterbury’s Synlait Farms, already acquired by Shanghai Pengxin, and also the potential acquisition of Lochinver, a 14,000ha property near Taupo….

Wellington man David Lane, who writes on the blog “Society for Promotion of Community Standards” [SPCS] says the recent delays lack transparency.

“The OIO [Overseas Investment Office] clerarly instructed Shanghai Pengxin to set up a wholly-owned subsidiary in New Zealand as an appropriate vehicle to purchase the Lochinver Station”.

Lane says if Dakang is now buying that subsidiary through An Yuan Dairy, the scheme runs counter to what the OIO requested.

‘Some 45% of the ownership of the assets will be in the hands of those who have not been scrutinised by OIO”.
