The High Court trial of two men charged over the wrongful 1980s conviction of Alan Hall has been further delayed.

It had been due to start in Auckland on Monday but one of the defendants was too unwell to attend.

At another hearing on Wednesday, the four-week judge-alone trial was pushed back to next Monday.

The men, whose names and occupations are suppressed, are jointly charged with wilfully attempting to pervert the course of justice.

They earlier pleaded not guilty.

Alan Hall was jailed for life in 1985 for the murder of Arthur Easton, but was acquitted by the Supreme Court in 2022 and awarded $5 million in compensation.

At the time Chief Justice Helen Winkelmann said it was a trial gone wrong, and that there had been a substantial miscarriage of justice and he should be acquitted.

Winkelmann said to conclude, it was clear that justice had seriously miscarried – either from extreme incompetence, or a deliberate strategy to achieve a conviction.

A third man facing similar charges to those in the current case died in 2024.

Care facilities have switched back to a paper-based system to manage medication, and are dishing it out by hand, while prescription portal MediMap is offline following a hack.

MediMap is used by some health providers in the aged care, disability and hospice sectors and the community to record medication doses and coordinate with pharmacies – and it includes people’s medication histories.

It was breached on Sunday, and the company has now taken the platform offline while it investigates.

According to information sent by MediMap to care providers in the early hours of Wednesday morning, and seen by RNZ, fields that were changed included patient name, date of birth, location within the facility, assigned prescriber or pharmacy, allergy or intolerance information or discharge or deceased status.

Providers with the portal offline have told RNZ medication was now being organised the old-fashioned way – on paper.

A Nurses Organisation member at George Manning Lifecare and Village in Christchurch told RNZ they needed double the number of registered nurses on each shift just to give out medication.

Aged Care Association chief executive Tracey Martin said every care home had a “disaster” plan to fall back on in case of something like a system outage.

“Basically, they had to switch back to paper-based.”

She understood it was not having an effect on residents, who were all still receiving medication, but some facilities might have needed to bring in extra staff who were qualified to double check the medication, before it was given to residents.

“It certainly takes longer, it’s certainly more painful than the efficiencies that you get through a digital system,” Martin said.

Most of the questions being asked were: “Is my mum still getting her medication?” and “How are you making sure that she gets what she needs?”

“With regard to somebody being marked as deceased or not? Well, our facilities have got the person there, so they know they’re not deceased. So while from a system perspective that is really interesting and needs to be sorted, from a real-life perspective, that individual’s still there, still being cared for.”

FAQs released by MediMap

Among the information sent from MediMap care providers were lists of frequently asked questions those companies might be getting, and how to respond to them, along with a draft email providers could use as a template to inform patients, residents and families.

MediMap said it was working with external cyber security and forensic specialists, Health NZ, and relevant authorities to identify which facilities and resident records had been affected, and passwords were being reset across all users “as a precautionary measure”.

“Importantly, we have been advised that there is currently no evidence that medication charts or medication administration records have been altered,” it said.

“Has resident data been exposed? – At this stage, we cannot confirm whether any resident data has been accessed beyond viewing, extracted, or exposed externally. The investigation is ongoing.”

“When will our facility be brought back online? – Facilities will be restored in phases. Facilities where current resident information has not been modified will be restored first following internal validation. Facilities where resident information may have been impacted will be contacted directly by MediMap to confirm current resident details prior to restoration.”

“Why are discharged or deceased residents being reviewed? – Some resident status information may have been incorrectly modified. Historical records will be reviewed following restoration of current residents.”

What is the health agency saying?

Health New Zealand, while supporting the company’s investigation, said MediMap, as a privately owned company, was solely responsible for its security and it needed to do everything it could.

Its digital services acting chief information technology officer Darren Douglass said New Zealanders expected companies involved in healthcare to secure systems and platforms so private information was safeguarded.

MediMap has declined an interview with RNZ, but has again been approached for comment.

Two people are critically injured after the car they were in collided with a freight train near New Plymouth on Wednesday.

Emergency services responded to the crash off Mountain Road, State Highway 3A in Lepperton around 8.40am.

A spokesperson for Hato Hone St John said a helicopter, two ambulances, and one operations manager attended.

Two patients in a critical condition were taken to Taranaki Hospital, one by helicopter, and one by ambulance, they said.

Fire and Emergency shift manager Alex Norris said firefighters had to cut the car’s occupants free from the wreck.

The Serious Crash Unit was investigating and the road was down to one lane.

Kiwirail chief operations officer Duncan Roy said the accident happened on the Marton-New Plymouth Line at a private level-crossing.

He said the train was heading north to New Plymouth and the crossing is controlled by stop signs.

“In line with our standard practice our driver will be given leave, and all of our staff involved will be offered support from KiwiRail,” he said.

“Emergency services are attending the scene and any further comment should come from the police.”

A controversial North Taranaki composting company has been fined more than $71,000 for discharging offensive odours described by neighbours as smelling like “faecal and pig effluent” from its site near Uruti.

The company pleaded guilty at the New Plymouth District Court to discharging odorous compounds between March and May 2024, when the discharges were not permitted by the resource consent held by Remediation NZ.

Site inspections from March to June 2024 by Taranaki Regional Council officers found a number of issues with the management of the site operations which contributed to “odour generation”.

This included uncontrolled venting of odours from compost piles due to insufficient capping materials and poor management of associated site operations resulting in the generation and subsequent discharge of offensive odours beyond the site.

Remediation NZ holds 10 resource consents at the site and conditions for these include that discharges of odour beyond the site’s boundary should not be “offensive or objectionable”.

Following the 2024 inspections, officers said the odour had an “unpleasant pig effluent character” and an “unpleasant faecal character” and was assessed as “offensive and objectionable”.

One inspection on 19 April 2024 detected an odour linked to the RNZ facility about 2.5km from the site’s entrance.

Assessments on 7 March and 24 April by the council were proactive monitoring while monitoring on 19 and 23 April, 11 May and 18 May were in response to complaints.

‘Offensive odour can be pervasive and life altering’ – judge

Prosecutor Karenza de Silva told the court that on five of the six dates, the alleged occurrences of the odour was assessed as offensive and objectionable at a residential address.

The court heard a victim impact statement from a neighbour who rated the odour’s severity as between six to eight out of 10 when he made several complaints.

Judge MJL Dickey said there was no doubt the odour was objectionable during the site assessments and it was likely the offensive odours were also emitted at other times.

“Offensive odour can be pervasive and life altering. It is difficult to escape, and I have no doubt that those experiencing it would have been revolted and distressed. I find the effects of the offending were serious.”

Judge Dickey took into account measures the company put in place to improve systems and infrastructure, but the offending demonstrated the site was not being adequately managed. The company’s culpability was “highly careless”.

While a 25 percent sentencing discount was applied to the $95,000 fine starting point for Remediation NZ’s guilty plea, no discount was applied for the “belated” remedial steps which were necessary and not a circumstance for a discount.

A discount for good behaviour was also denied by the judge due to the company’s long enforcement history at the facility.

TRC had issued Remedation NZ 16 abatement notices and 34 infringement notices between July 2009 and January 2024.

Remediation NZ had eight previous convictions under the RMA, including a conviction in 2010 for five discharges from its site.

‘A hugely detrimental impact’

Council compliance manager Jared Glasgow welcomed the fine imposed on Remediation NZ given the company’s long history of failing to comply with its resource consent obligations.

“We are pleased with the outcome of this case as the odours have made life very difficult for those living near to the composting site,” Glasgow said.

“The victim impact statements show that the offending had a hugely detrimental impact on residents in the Uruti Valley. Our officers saw this for themselves during the inspections and this was why it was important to bring this prosecution.

“The level of the fine and the fact no discounts were allowed for mitigation or good behaviour reflect the seriousness of the case.

“Hopefully the $71,250 fine will act as a deterrent and a reminder to resource consent holders that they have a duty to follow the rules and ensure discharges are not negatively impacting people living nearby.”

• The Reserve Bank says banks should provide basic cash services
• Services should be walkable distance in urban areas or driveable in rural areas
• Services should include cash withdrawals, deposits and change
• The RBNZ suggest banking hubs in addition to what individual banks provide
• It says banks earn big enough profits to cover costs
• The RBNZ is seeking submissions, which close on 10 April

The Reserve Bank (RBNZ) is suggesting the banking industry should be forced to provide basic cash handling services to consumers and businesses throughout the country.

The central bank has opened a six week consultation process to get public views on ensuring and maintaining a minimum level of cash in districts.

RBNZ director of money and cash Ian Woolford said providing and handling cash should be a basic banking service.

“We believe banks must provide cash services to customers, free-of-charge, because cash is an essential part of a customer’s relationship with their bank.”

He said banks had been reducing the places where customers could get cash, bank cash or get change, especially in rural areas, with about 40 percent of bank branches closed over the past decade.

“We want this to change, and we are open as to how,” Woolford said.

“Cash benefits society, as it is used for economic, social and cultural reasons, and as the steward of cash we are focused on ensuring the cash system is healthy and available.”

The bank cash hub – walkable, driveable

The RBNZ said the most efficient way to provide minimum access standards was a ‘multi-bank, full-service cash site’.

Such hubs would offer customers of any bank three types of cash service – cash withdrawals, cash depositing, and cash swapping of high denomination bank notes for lower notes and coins.

It said five full service hubs currently existed in Martinborough, Ōpōtiki, Twizel, Waimate and Whangamatā, but were only available to ANZ, ASB, BNZ, Kiwibank, TSB, and Westpac customers.

Several other locations offered only partial services, or were open only to account holders of the bank providing the service.

The RBNZ has been running a trial in Waipukurau with an automated teller machine which offers 24 hours a day allowing people to swap cash for bigger or smaller denominations, to withdraw cash, and soon to be able to deposit business takings direct into accounts.

The proposal said banks should be responsible for ensuring enough cash service sites around the country, it suggested 2.5 sites for every 10,000 people.

Urban sites should be in areas where there were at least 1,000 people within three kilometres walking distance.

Rural sites would cater for between 200 and 1,000 people and be within 15 kms drive, or no more than 30 kms for remote areas.

The RBNZ produced 66 district maps with suggested urban and rural locations for the hubs.

It said arrangements for supplying and collecting cash from districts should be worked out later.

The banks should pay, they make enough profit

Woolford said the benefits of making cash available outweighed the costs.

He said cash services provided benefits to the country of $2.83 billion a year, with an estimated annual cost to the banks of around $104m.

“This cost is negligible when compared to the more than $10bn annual pre-tax profits earned together by the banking sector.”

Woolford said several other countries were moving in the same direction, and research showed a high level of demand for cash with more than 70 percent of small businesses saying they would be adversely affected if cash was unavailable.

The RBNZ’s own research showed 80 percent of adults used cash sometimes, more than half store cash and 8 percent relied on cash as their sole means of payment.

Antarctica New Zealand is on the hunt for 40 people willing to brave the sub-zero temperatures and work in one of the most remote places on Earth.

The organisation is looking for everything from medics to chefs, electricians and engineers for its next summer and winter seasons at Scott Base.

Antarctica NZ chief executive and scientific advisor Professor Jordy Hendrikx told Morning Report it’s not necessary to have been to Antarctica,

“Basically, we are running a small town down there. We have to manage our own water, we have to manage our own power, manage our own sewage and also all the food and all the services will be provided to support science,” he said.

“Any of those support roles are really critical for us to ensure that we can be successful with our mission down in Antarctica.”

Hendrikx said the majority of roles are for the ‘summer season’, which runs in Antarctica from September through to February. During summer in Antarctica, the sun doesn’t set.

About 12 staff stay all through winter until October, which is a 13-month season at Scott Base.

The positions are in hot demand, as going to Antarctica, for many people, is a bucket-list opportunity.

Hendrikx said successful applicants will have specific qualifications and a good, can-do attitude.

“We need that real can-do attitude and a willingness to be part of a family, and to work down there and to live down there as part of a really tight community,” he said.

“It’s more than a job.”

It’s shaping as a chilly end to summer for the South Island as a cold snap brings low temperatures over the weekend.

A stunning day is forecast on Wednesday for most of the North Island and the top of the South Island with temperatures reaching the mid to late 20s, NIWA says, but the bubble is set to burst after that.

NIWA weather is forecasting that a front will deliver “some of the coldest air of the year so far to the South Island”.

️A sharp front is set to bring some of the coldest air of the year so far to the South Island, while a tropical low lurks north of NZ heading into the weekend.

MetService has forecast a high of just 15 degrees for Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill on Friday, and temperatures won’t get much warmer over the weekend.

MetService meteorologist Mmathapelo Makgabutlane told Morning Report from Wednesday night a cold front will deliver chillier temperatures for Southland, Otago, Canterbury and up to parts of Marlborough.

The second cold front, due towards the end of the weekend, would continue the trend of cooler weather, especially along the south and east coasts of both islands.

“The South Island gets it from Friday and through the weekend but it does reach the North Island into Monday.”

NIWA meteorologist Chester Lampkin said a west south-west change will lead to showers and even thunderstorms across parts of the South Island on Thursday.

By Friday temperatures will be 3C to 5C below what is considered average in the South Island, he said.

Makgabutlane said it was also the middle of the tropical cyclone season at present.

Meteorologists would be keeping a close eye on a possible low pressure system forming near Vanuatu.

“It all depends on how it develops and also where it ends up moving … at this early stage it looks like it should be staying away from us but I think it is one to keep an eye on.”

Modelling would be updated daily with the latest atmospheric conditions and how it was tracking, she said.

A 34-year-old man has been arrested after a shooting in Manurewa, Auckland.

Detective Inspector Shaun Vickers said officers were called to a property on Marumaru Lane at about 8.45pm on 18 February.

“The offender has gone to the door and asked for the victim, before allegedly shooting him when he came to the door,” Detective Inspector Vickers said.

“The victim was taken to hospital in a serious condition, and was very fortunate to have not suffered life-threatening injuries.”

Armed police carried out search warrants in Takanini and Manurewa in south Auckland at 3pm on Tuesday.

“The alleged offender was not located at either address, but as a result, he handed himself into Papakura Police Station not long afterwards and was taken into custody,” Vickers said.

Two arrests have now been made over the offending.

A 29-year-old woman, who is co-accused, will appear in court on Wednesday after initially being arrested last week.

The man will also appear in the Manukau District Court on Wednesday, jointly charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and commission of an offence with a firearm.

Vickers said further arrests cannot be ruled out as the investigation continues.

After months of negotiating and strike action, Health New Zealand and the union for allied health workers have reached a deal.

The Public Service Association (PSA) said its more than 12,000 members – including physiotherapists, anaesthetic technicians, and social workers – voted overwhelmingly to accept the union-backed offer. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/582490/health-workers-should-accept-proposed-collective-agreement-union

The new collective agreement included a pay increase of 2.5 percent from December 2025 and a further 2 percent from December this year, in addition to a $500 lump sum payment.

The union said there was also a commitment to a new pay scale for sterile sciences technicians (who work with medical devices in operating theatres and wards), to improve safe staffing and set up a $400,000 national professional development fund.

PSA national secretary Fleur Fitzsimons said while the union didn’t get everything it asked for, it accepted it was the the best offer it could get for now.

She put the result down to industrial action.

“These workers went on strike during the Mega Strike on 23 October 2025 as well as a further strike late last year and their actions have made a difference.

“This outcome after seven months of bargaining shows what workers can achieve when they stand together.”

Fitzsimons said allied health workers delivered essential care to New Zealanders every day and the settlement was recognition of their contribution.

She said voting was now underway for two other collectives that covered more than 4000 members including mental health and public health nurses.

The Wellington Mountain Bike festival kicks off this Friday with three days of racing, shuttle runs, food, beer and entertainment in three different trail spots around the city.

Local riders said up to 265km of trails made the capital a world-class riding destination worth celebrating.

They said riders in the capital were spoilt for choice.

Publicly accessible trails wind through the hills just a short pedal from almost every part of the city.

Matt Farrar – co-founder of festival organisers, Trails Wellington – said organisers could have chosen nearly a dozen locations to hold the events.

“We tried to get the right mix for beginner riders through to the more technical riders. Wainuiomata was perfect for the technical stuff as well as the family stuff. Matairangi’s so amazing being right in the centre of the city – we had to go with that one – and then Mākara’s our original famous mountain bike park, so they’re the three that gravitated to the top,” Farrar said.

Mākara Peak mountain bike park ranger Mark Kent said the sport’s popularity had exploded in Wellington over the last 20 years.

He said about 72,000 people visited the park – in the suburb of Karori – every year, and there was room for plenty more.

“Every second car coming into Karori on a Saturday has a bike on the back. The spinoff of that, the economic benefits for the cafe’s and for the bars in the suburb’s been fantastic and that’s similar across the city. Biking is social and so is going for a beer or going for a good feed afterwards as well,” Kent said.

The Wellington Off Road Riding Department, or WORD, runs skills courses for kids from seven to 17 years old.

The charity even has its own race team – Fast ForWORD.

Chief executive Nic Johnson said the festival was a chance to showcase the huge range of riding that had grown from trail builders’ efforts all around the city.

“Rotorua is very much one place, one network and same with Queenstown, you’re on the hill up at Skyline. Whereas we’ve got separate trail areas and it’s all a bit of insider knowledge about where the best trails are. We just need to connect them in a way and I think this mountain bike festival will do that. We’ve got three different venues over three days and people will get to taste a bit of each of them,” Johnson said.

Sixteen-year-old Ruben Armstrong said he would been taking advantage of the shuttles running in Mākara on Friday and competing in the Mt Victoria In’Duro Race on Saturday.

He said he loved riding the city’s terrain but it was the people he met out on the trails that made the capital so special for him.

“It’s awesome, it’s so buzzy. There’s always a good crew of people out. The trails are awesome, the location is awesome. It’s not a big drive out from the city. It’s always fun riding with people, everyone’s so friendly,” Armstrong said.

Co-founder of the Capital Kiwi Project, Paul Ward, said volunteers’ work building trails had helped provide access to the city’s green spaces, and was supporting planting and pest trapping efforts.

The work – along side Zealandia and groups like Predator Free Wellington – had resulted in a massive resurgence in indigenous wildlife around the city over the last 25 years.

“I grew up in Johnsonville in the nineties and my backyard was blackbirds, sparrows and possums and rabbits at night. Now I can open my door in the morning and hear kaka parrots, tui, kererū, kārearea the falcon and on the edges of Karori and places like Waimapihi you’re probably going to hear kiwi calling at night too,” Ward said.

The Wellington Mountain bike festival begins with a WORD-hosted youth ride, music, food and free shuttles trips about Mākara Peak Mountain Bike Park this Friday.
