ACT leader David Seymour is warning principals they're technically public servants - and must display political neutrality. The Associate Education Minister is hitting out at schools who've marked absences by students attending a national hīkoi as 'justified'. Thousands marched through Auckland today on the pilgrimage to Parliament, protesting the Treaty Principles Bill. Seymour says parents can only urge schools to do the right thing. "Ultimately, it's up to communities to say to principals through

A longtime Black Power member says he'll be waiting to see how enforcement of the gang patch ban plays out from Thursday next week. Denis O'Reilly says the extensive preparatory meetings between gangs and police could mean it goes well. He says care is needed. "We need calm heads and steady hands and careful words, I think."

Donald Trump is tapping the shoulder of billionaire Elon Musk for a new role. The incoming US president has handed the Tesla boss leadership of the new Department of Government Efficiency, alongside Republican Vivek Ramaswamy. Its goal will be cutting regulations and bureaucracy. But US correspondent Dan Mitchinson says it's not necessarily a job.

There's some new Government measures to regulate online gambling operators. Only 15 operators will be granted licenses - which will include mandatory age verification.

I've actually been surprised at the level of anger I've heard expressed today at that Treaty Principles Bill hīkoi crossing over the Harbour Bridge - and I don't think it's a good thing for this particular cause. Yesterday, completely out of the blue, I got an email from a mum I know complaining about the impact it will l have on kids trying to get to their NCEA exams on time. Today, I bumped into someone this morning furious about the timing because it was rush hour. And someone in my family is

I think the hardest news story to read today is of the kindergarten teacher in Victoria who died yesterday afternoon saving children from a truck that smashed into the kindy. The truck driver lost control, the truck ploughed into the kindy, the teacher pushed the kids out of the way, but died herself. The speed limit outside that kindergarten was supposed to be dropped from 50 to 40 kph – but hadn’t been. A similar thing happened a few weeks ago in Melbourne. An SUV crashed into a primary school,

After making it out of the car wash, staff gave the woman a flyer with an 0800 number she never heard back from. The car wash was back in service later that night.
