The lawyer for an Auckland man and his partner who police say could be charged for flouting alert level 4 lockdown rules to fly to Wanaka, says she will be seeking name suppression for her clients. 

Police say the pair, a 35 year old man and a 26 year old woman used their essential worker exemption to get through Auckland’s southern boundary at Mercer on Thursday.

Women in Afghanistan will be allowed to study in universities as the country seeks to rebuild after decades of war but gender segregation and Islamic dress code will be mandatory, the Taliban's new Higher Education minister said on Sunday.

The minister, Abdul Baqi Haqqani, said the new Taliban government, named last week, would "start building the country on what exists today" and did not want to turn the clock back 20 years to when the movement was last in power.

Over the last few months more than a few commentators at home and abroad have become highly sensitive to changes in the New Zealand government’s China settings. Statements about everything from Hong Kong, cyber-security, the origins of covid-19, and the treatment of the Uighurs have been subjected to forensic scrutiny. Yet last week, perhaps lost amidst a late deluge of Olympic medals, a significant development in New Zealand’s position on China’s claims in the South China Sea went largely unnoticed.

New polling commissioned by a leading think tank in the UK, the Adam Smith Institute, has revealed that a significant majority of UK citizens back freer movement with New Zealand.

The new poll, conducted in conjunction with C|T Group RSR, shows that while the UK is negotiating a new trade deal with New Zealand, provisions for the free movement of citizens and mutual skills recognition should be included as part of the negotiations.
