A petition to change New Zealand's "archaic" law preventing victims of domestic violence from divorcing their partners has been launched, attracting more than 1300 signatures in its first few days online.

At present, married or civil union partners have to be officially separated for at least two years before either party can apply for a divorce, formally known as a dissolution.

The Royal New Zealand Navy's newest and largest-ever ship HMNZS Aotearoa has made its first visit to its ceremonial home port in New Plymouth today.

The $450 million supply ship came into service last year and at 173m long it can carry 10.5 million litres of fuel - or enough to 'top up' a frigate almost 14 times.

Consumer prices are on their way up, as petrol, transport and rent are becoming more expensive.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) survey measures how price changes affect the average consumer. It looks at goods and services people spend money on and records the quarterly and annual price change - how much prices have gone up or down.

The flyer by Billy Te Kahika's group The Freedom Alliance, perfectly matched the Covid-19 colour scheme, came complete with Ministry of Health logos and even featured the Director-General of Health.
