Most of those spoken to in the South Island by RNZ last night were convinced of the need to lock down, despite the one positive case so far being located in the North Island.

Less than an hour after the announcement, cars were queuing out onto the street at supermarkets and bottlestores all over Christchurch as people stocked up on essentials.

The Afghan Taliban said on Tuesday they wanted peaceful relations with other countries and would respect the rights of women within the framework of Islamic law, as they held their first official news briefing since their shock seizure of Kabul.

The Taliban announcements, short on details but suggesting a softer line than during their rule 20 years ago, came as the United States and Western allies evacuated diplomats and civilians the day after scenes of chaos at Kabul airport as Afghans thronged the airfield.

Defence Force personnel could be deployed as nearly as Wednesday to help New Zealanders and their families evacuate from Afghanistan, as well as at-risk Afghan nationals who have helped state agencies.

The country has fallen quickly under Taliban control since the US' evacuation of the Bagram airbase at the beginning of July.
