Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko tētahi tāne pakeke i werohia e tētahi ngārara i a ia e tākaro ana i te korowha, kua parea e ia te mea i whakaeke i a ia, e kī ana he nui ake te wehi o te ngārara 1.2 mita i a ia, ā, ko te mea i werohia e ia ko te take o te kaitākaro korowha. Ko te patunga, ko John Lahiff i korero mai i tana moenga hōhipera i Cairns Base Hospital, e oati ana ka hoki mai ia ki te karaka i muri i te tukinga kino ki te ngoki i te papa korowha o Port Douglas o te kaitōrangapū a Clive Palmer. I te ahiahi o te Mane, i whakapono te tangata i roto i ona tau 70, i tu ohorere ia i runga i te ngeru e wera ana i te ra i te poka 11 i te Palmer Sea Reef Golf Course, na te mea i tere te whakahoki a te ngeru. 'I taraiwa au i te kaata ki te tiki i te pōro - ā, kāore au i kite i te ngārara i te rā i te taha o te wai,' i kī a Mr Lahiff ki a ABC News. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko te patunga, ko John Lahiff i kōrero mai i tōna moenga hōhipera i Cairns Base Hospital, e oati ana ka hoki ia ki te karaka i muri i te tukinga kino ki te ngārara. I te ahiahi o te Mane, i whakapono te tangata i roto i ona tau 70, i tū ohorere ia i runga i te korokoro o te ra i te poka 11 i te Palmer Sea Reef Golf Course, na te mea i tere te whakautu a te korokoro. I whiwhi te kaitakaro korowha i nga wharanga i runga i tona waewae me te waewae, tae atu ki tetahi ki raro ki te wheua. 'I haere au i mua i a ia, kātahi ka mau ia i ahau i te hokinga mai, ā, i te mea kua mau ia i ahau, ka rere atu ki te wai.' I werohia ia ki te waewae me te waewae, tae atu ki tetahi ki te wheua. 'Kāore au i ite i tētahi mea,' i kī a Mr Lahiff ki a Ninemsn. 'Ko te mamae anake i a au i te pō o inanahi i a rātou e wero ana i ngā ngira ki roto i ahau.' He mea whakamiharo i taea e Mr Lahiff, i takaro takitahi nei, te whakahoki i tana karaka kōaro ki te whare karapu ki te rapu āwhina hauora. 'Ko te wāhanga o taku he... no te whakararuraru i te reira i te mea i sunbaking,' ka mea ia. 'Ki taku whakaaro he nui ake te wehi i a ia i ahau. He pai ia.' E mea ana a Mr Lahiff, kāore ia i te pōhēhē ki te hoki mai ki te māra, e whakamārama ana ka āta karohia e ia ngā ngārara ā muri ake nei, ā, ka whakarite kia kaua ia e patu i ngā pōro i roto i te wai.

I whakaekehia te kaitakaro poitūkohu matua a John Lahiff e tētahi ngoki i Queensland. I tākaro takitahi a Lahiff i te Palmer Sea Reef Golf Course i te Mane. E ki ana ia kaore ia i ite i tetahi mea i te wa o te whakaekenga a ka taea e ia te taraiwa i runga i te karaka korowha ki te whare karapu ki te rapu awhina. I tonoa e te rangatira o te poaka, e Clive Palmer, tana mihi pai ki te tangata i muri i te whakaeke. I a ia e ora ana i te hōhipera, e ai ki a Lahiff, he nui ake te wehi o te ngārara i a ia. Ka pouri a Lahiff mō te whakararuraru ohorere i te ngārara e kai ana i te rā, kāore i kitea e ia i a ia e tiki ana i tana pōro kōaro.
