Dunedin Hospital has hit capacity and the Southern District Health Board has declared a "code black" as it calls on the public to avoid the emergency department if possible.

SDHB chief executive Chris Fleming said this afternoon that the hospital was doing its best to deal with heavy demand at a time of high occupancy, but patients could experience delays and some operations had been postponed.

Labour and the Greens are under fire for voting down a law that would make it mandatory to notify schools when there's a sex offender nearby.  

Informing schools when a sex offender is being placed in the community is not a new practice for Corrections. National MP Matt Doocey's Member's Bill sought to make it mandatory but it was voted down on Wednesday night.

An asteroid named after the Egyptian god of evil that was tipped to smash into the Earth in 2068 has been demoted.

New measurements by astronomers show the 350m-wide Apophis won't hit us anytime in the next century, so it's being taken off the European Space Agency's notorious Risk List of potential civilisation-destroying asteroids.

Landlords were taken aback earlier this week when the Government announced they would no longer be able to deduct interest payments from rental incomes to reduce their tax liability.

But it's not a policy that's come right out of the blue, having been phased in over the past four years in the UK.
