Last update: 2 hours agoOrganised Crime: Police and Customs say five people have been arrested after an estimated $80 million cocaine shipment was intercepted—the second major Auckland bust this week. In a separate trans-Tasman crackdown, 39 people were arrested in New Zealand, with 67 firearms and nearly 1,500 3D-printed gun parts seized; a suspected pipe bomb was found in Hastings. Te Tiriti: The Waitangi Tribunal says the Crown blindsided Māori by removing school boards’ Treaty obligations without consultation and should apologise. Election 2026: Nearly 3.8 million people are enrolled to vote, but the provisional rate of 93.6% is below the final rates for the last two elections; enrolment among Māori is 85.9%. Public Health: Consumer NZ found seven of 10 tested sunscreens failed to meet their advertised SPF claims, including one labelled SPF50 that tested at SPF14. Migrant Workers: An Employment Court ruling confirms New Zealand’s ban on job-recruitment fees applies to payments made overseas, potentially helping Pacific workers challenge debts incurred to secure work here. Air Travel: Air New Zealand’s economy sleeping pods are delayed until after the summer peak while overseas certification is completed.
