The Foreign Affairs Minister says the invitation for Christopher Luxon to join the Board of Peace for Gaza is a "multi-faceted" issue and requires a "measured look".
There's a "strong case" for a government inquiry into the deadly Mt Maunganui landslide where six people remain unaccounted for, the Prime Minister says.
The family of a child and grandmother killed when a landslide hit a house in Tauranga say they're "absolutely devastated" by the loss of a "treasured son" and his "beloved Nai Nai".
Geotech engineers told Tauranga City Council 20 years ago buildings shouldn't be allowed in the "runout" zones of potential landslides, unless they had specially constructed protection.
WorkSafe says it will be looking into the organisations that had a duty of care for everyone at the Mt Maunganui holiday park, but for now the priority is on the recovery efforts.
