Roadworkers in Rotorua have been shot at with a BB gun, verbally abused and left traumatised in Rotorua, Waka Kotahi claims. Police have since issued a formal warning to one person after the incident, which took place at a detour point near the Utuhina Stream Bridge. Waka Kotahi's David Speirs says the bridge repairs have caused a spike in traffic delays during peak times, but there's no excuse for abuse and threats. "There was quite a high level of trauma as a consequence for the workers involved,

The election is on a knife-edge, with the gap between the left and right blocs narrowing in tonight's latest political polls. Both the Newshub-Reid Research One News Verian polls show National and ACT need New Zealand First to govern.

National's finance spokeswoman Nicola Willis says it's closer than she'd like. "I think that that is because there are

The daughter-in-law of an elderly woman scammed out of $100,000 believes the bank should've picked it up.
