  Arson Verdicts in Tragic Apartment Fire | Wellington News

  Sep 15, 20261 min

  An 82-year-old man, Ian David Moller, died four days after a fatal fire at his apartment — the third arson attack in under a month. A jury found two men guilty of manslaughter and arson but not murder, while a third was acquitted. Described as gentle and beloved by family and friends, Mr. Moller’s death shocked the community. Police praised the investigation team for bringing accountability, and the convicted men face sentencing in November, while another suspect pleads guilty to earlier fires and will be sentenced in December.

  Fugitive Dad’s Survival School Training | Wellington News

  Sep 15, 20262 min

  A fugitive dad who died in a police shootout spent months mastering survival skills at an elite private school — including firearms training and wilderness living — that prepared him to evade capture for nearly four years. His time at St. Paul’s Collegiate’s Tihoi Venture School, which immersed teens in the bush with no tech, solo trips, and wood-burning stoves, gave him the grit and know-how locals say made him a master of bushcraft. Now reunited with his family, his story underscores how extreme outdoor education can shape real-world survival — even when it leads to tragedy.

  Labour Slips as Greens Surge | Wellington News

  Sep 15, 20261 min

  Labour’s poll numbers dip to 31% in the latest Anacta survey — a four-point slide — as criticism over potential tax hikes from National takes its toll. But here’s the twist: if smaller party Opportunity allies with Labour, the left could surge. Meanwhile, National holds steady at 30%, Greens jump to 12%, NZ First falls to 10%, Act stays at 8%, and Opportunity climbs to 7%. The race is reshuffling — and fast.

  Crown Assets Under Review | Wellington News

  Sep 15, 20261 min

  The National Party is keeping its doors open on future state asset sales, even as it insists none will happen this term. Behind the scenes, Treasury is quietly reviewing whether Crown ownership of these enterprises still serves a clear public purpose — not about selling specific assets, but about justifying why the government holds them at all. Minister Simeon Brown, also National’s campaign chief, won’t reveal details but confirms more policy updates are coming soon — and leader Christopher Luxon hasn’t shut the door on campaigning on asset sales down the road. The review aims to ensure these entities deliver value and operate commercially for taxpayers, with no final sell-off advice issued yet.
