Lowering the alcohol purchase age has been linked to a
long-term increase in the chance of drunk drivers aged 18 or
19 being involved in car crashes that cause death or injury.
A family preparing to build a home on their rural South
Auckland block of land are grieving over the death of a
5-year-old boy who fell from the back of a trailer at the
site.
Police are continuing the hunt for a dangerous escaped
prisoner who escaped custody just hours after being arrested
in relation to a violent kidnapping.
Those paying their respects at Anzac Day dawn services in
Auckland will do so under a cloudy sky, while those in
Wellington will brave a rainy morning.
