Original owner of the property was John Thomson (1813-1894). Born in Perthshire, Scotland, he immigrated to NZ in 1864 with his youngest children on the Lady Raglan and settled in Winton. His wife Jane died in 1860 and his two elder sons had arrived two years earlier on the Brothers Pride. With the money earned from ploughing, fencing and cartage contracts he purchased 2,000 acres from the Shand Bros (and a further 2,000 acres between 1866-1886), in the district now known as Thomson's Crossing, near Winton. Wheat cropping was his first experiment on the farm he named Winton Plains where he remained until his death in 1894. In 1876, the eldest son Peter settled on a 900 acre block of his father's property, later taking over the homestead, his main source of income being derived from sheep grazing and cropping. His second son James farmed 1,050 acres of the original estate. John, the third son farmed a 700 acre block of land to the south of the estate. In 2005 543 acres of the original estate is farmed by John Thomson's great great grandson, Peter William Thomson and his wife Norah, nee Adamson (Springburn Trust). The homestead they live in, `Springburn', was built in 1925 to replace John Thomson's original home. Quantity: 1 folder(s).

In the second frame his children are shown learning the ways of commerce in the school tuckshop; in the third frame Bill English explains that our experts have been able to postpone climate change until the farmers and carbon burners have made their profits and in the last frame he is shown arriving at his Karori home with the Beehive in the distance and 'Southland' on the gate. Refers to Bill English's embarrassing struggle with his Karori houng subsidy, and to the New Zealand's ETS strategy, a deal that has been stitched up between the National government and the Maori Party without the Labour Party that has resulted in taxpayers subsidizing big business and farmers for the next four years. (until 2013) The deal between the two parties provides that the new emissions trading scheme (ETS) will halve the cost of energy increases to consumers but polluting industries will have an easier ride and longer to adjust through taxpayer subsidies.
