American Magic team with Denmark SailGP, as fastest get faster

SailGP’s fastest may just have found even more speed.

Rockwool Denmark have never won the professional sailing league, but have the distinction of clocking the fastest-ever speed in the F50 boat, when they reached 103.93km/h at Sassnitz, Germany, last August.

In the process, they became the first team to top 100km/h.

As the fleet prepares for the New Zealand SailGP at Auckland this weekend, the Danish have confirmed they will join forces with American Magic in a deal reportedly worth US$60 million (NZ$99.3m), as they strive for more consistency in their racing performance.

American Magic founder Doug DeVos is one of the world’s leading investors, with ownership of the Orlando Magic NBA basketball franchise, but the organisation is perhaps best known to Kiwis as a challenger for the America’s Cup at Auckland and Barcelona.

At Auckland 2021, their boat ‘Patriot’ capsized and almost sank during round-robin stages of the Prada Cup. While they returned to competition for the challenger semi-finals, they were quickly dispatched by Italians Luna Rossa.

Four years later, they suffered an identical fate and, last October, announced they would not contest the next America’s Cup off Naples in 2027.

Instead, the organisation has created a new training facility at Pensacola, Florida, where the Danish SailGP outfit will now develop their programme.

“It’s super exciting,” driver Nicolai Sehested. “I think it’s a vote of confidence that such a cool team as American Magic believe in our team and what we’ve built over the last few years.

“It gives us the opportunity to go all the way, which we’ve dreamt of since we started.”

“We’ve been watching SailGP grow in terms of the excitement, the fans, the number of teams and incredible venues, but also the product is incredibly compelling,” said American Magic chief executive Mike Cazer.

“We’ve been rooting for it and, along the way, we said we needed to be part of this incredible league.

“We believe in this team and what Nicolai and his team have developed is a high-performance platform on the water, but also their values off the water. We’re embracing the Danish character of the team, we’re investing in it and we’re developing it.”

SailGP boss Russell Coutts hinted that American Magic’s interest may accelerate the creation of a second-tier ‘minor league’ to the professional sailing competition.

“American Magic bring a lot of expertise, not just in the sailing field, but in the business field,” he said. “To have them involved in the league and driving the league forward is enormous.

“The training centre at Pensacola is a state-of-the-art facility. They have an objective to train young talent, we obviously have a need to train young talent, so those goals are aligned.

“We are looking at a smaller catamaran, probably 25-30 feet [7.5-9 metres] long.

“We think there’s a model similar to other minor leagues in professional sports. We can develop a product that allowed the top young athletes in the world to develop their skills and be drafted into the top teams.”

That’s a hugely exciting pathway going forward, he said.

Denmark joined SailGP in 2021 and won their first event at Abu Dhabi last November.

Christchurch terrorist made almost 700 complaints about life in prison

The Christchurch terrorist made almost 700 complaints about life behind bars but his claims of torturous prison conditions are exaggerated, a court has heard.

Australian white supremacist Brenton Tarrant made the 686 complaints from 16 March 2019 until September 2024, amounting to more than one complaint every three days.

The 35-year-old is serving a life sentence without parole for the 2019 shootings at Al Noor Mosque and Linwood Islamic Centre but now wants the Court of Appeal to overturn his convictions and sentence.

The terrorist claims he was “forced” to plead guilty to 92 charges because he was irrational as a result of torturous and inhumane prison conditions.

The white supremacist left 51 people dead or dying in little over 15 minutes after taking an arsenal of semi-automatic rifles, shotguns and incendiary devices to the mosques as worshippers marked Jumu’ah – the most significant prayer of the Muslim week – and opening fire.

The terrorist initially pleaded not guilty in June 2019 to 51 counts of murder, 40 of attempted murder and one of committing terrorism.

The court has heard he wavered in late July 2019 and prepared to plead guilty before again changing his mind only days later.

In March 2020 he formally pleaded guilty to all charges and was jailed for life without the possibility of parole in August 2020.

The terrorist had 20 working days to file an appeal against his conviction or sentence but the “out of time” application came years later.

Crown solicitor Andrea Ewing told the court only four of the terrorist’s 686 complaints related to accessing a lawyer.

She said the terrorist had claimed a complaint was upheld in relation to some kind of physical incident.

“So what we have is a hearsay assertion from Mr Tarrant to his expert that a complaint was upheld,” she said.

The Crown called on the court to dismiss the terrorist’s application for leave to appeal.

Crown solicitor Madeleine Laracy said there was no possible risk of a miscarriage because the terrorist had no legal defence to offer a trial and conviction was certain.

She also called on the court to provide finality for his victims, New Zealand’s Muslim community and the wider public.

“There are literally hundreds of directly harmed victims in this case and keeping this case alive is source of immense distress for those individuals,” Laracy said.

The terrorist’s lawyers reiterated the conditions their client was confined in were unlike anything else present in the prison system.

Justices Christine French, Susan Thomas and David Collins reserved their decision.

What’s with the AI caricatures taking over social media feeds?

Source: Radio New Zealand

Has your social media feed been populated by amusing caricatures of your friends and whānau this week? As fun as these images may seem, their creation has raised questions around privacy and what is being done with personal information shared with AI software.

What is this trend?

People upload an image of themselves to the OpenAI platform and give it prompts to generate an animated image based off everything it knows about them.

The resulting image is a caricature of the person surrounded by their hobbies, job or any other interests that ChatGPT knows they might have.

District court judges give evidence at conduct hearing for fellow judge Ema Aitken

A district court judge described as one of the best on the bench, has had her behaviour scrutinised by a Judicial Conduct Panel this week.

Judge Ema Aitken is before the panel accused of yelling at Winston Peters during an event at Auckland’s Northern Club in 2024, calling him a liar.

She argues she did not yell, did not recognise Peters, and did not know it was a political event.

The panel hearing, which began earlier this, heard from district court judges on Friday who were there on the night of the alleged disruption.

They had been called after Special Counsel for the Inquiry requested the panel ask them to appear and give evidence.

Judge David McNaughton was among those sat at Judge Aitken’s table during a dinner of other judges and their partners.

He told the panel no one at the table was drinking to excess that night, with the “possible exception” of lawyer Michael Reed, KC.

Reed had been captured on video trying to photograph inside the NZ First event, despite being told not to.

Judge McNaughton read from his letter prepared for the Judicial Conduct Commissioner, but noted some of the words were not his.

“It’s not phrased exactly as I originally had,” he said.

“Some of this phrasing is not mine.”

He said there had been a panic to have the letter sent to the commissioner by deadline, and he signed it on a busy working day.

“It was emailed to me, it was a working day, I was very busy, I quickly read it, and signed it, and emailed it straight back because it had to go, I think, that day or the next day.”

Judge McNaughton had high praise to give Judge Aitken before the panel.

“I think she is one of the best judges on our bench,” he said.

“Her judgements are sound, they’re well reasoned, her reserve judgements are usually immaculate, of a very high standard.”

The judge would make an excellent High Court judge, Judge McNaughton said.

“In some ways, she was too good to be a district court judge, that’s my personal view of her.”

But by her own admission the day prior, the judge said she had acted rudely.

“I cannot really explain why I responded like this, other than that I was tired, and the speaker’s statement was so palpably wrong,” Judge Aitken said.

“It was reactionary, and rude of me which is not consistent with my character or reputation, I am not normally rude or intrusive in any setting.”

Another member of the bench, Judge Pippa Sinclair told the panel she had also been at a table with Judge Aitken, while the NZ First event was taking place in another part of building.

She recalled Judge Aitken coming back to the table at one point in the night, telling her she had called out Winston Peters.

“Sometime around the main course being served, Judge Aitken came back to the table and said ‘I’ve just told Winston Peters’, and I quote ‘he’s lying,’ and I further quote, ‘how could he say that,’ in response to him discussing tikanga in the law schools,” she said.

“Judge Aitken then said she realised it was Mr Peters when she saw a person whom she recognised and then, and I quote ‘clicked,’ it was Casey Costello.”

Judge Aitken told the panel on Thursday she had been at the club after a challenging day at court when she overheard comments about Tikanga Māori law overriding the Westminster system being taught in law schools.

She mouthed words to someone looking at her from inside the room where the event was taking place, who she later realised was NZ First MP Casey Costello.

“I made an audible remark once I reached the bottom of the stairs where I paused briefly,” Judge Aitken said.

Judge Sinclair told the panel she had not seen any signage for the NZ First event on her way in or out of the club that night.

The panel had been told on Thursday by NZ First Party president Julian Paul there had been a roughly two-metre tall banner by the door to their event.

Judge Sinclair was pressed on details about the night.

She said it was difficult to remember, given how much time had passed.

Under cross examination from the judge’s lawyer David Jones, KC, Judge Sinclair said she could be sure about the sequence of events, but not about what exactly was said.

“Of course I can’t be exactly sure down to the minutiae of what she said, because it was over a month after the incident, and I was recalling that, and I didn’t record the incident,” Judge Sinclair said.

“I’ve done the best to recall what I remember she said.”

Jones asked Judge Sinclair to share what she thought of the judge’s work.

“She is a very sound, and fine judge,” she said.

“I have the utmost respect for her ability as a judge and work as a judge.”

Judge Sinclair was asked by panel member Justice Jillian Mallon how loud Judge Aitken had been speaking when she returned to the table.

“She spoke clearly, she wasn’t shouting or anything like that,” Judge Sinclair said.

“She just spoke very clearly and matter of factly.”

The panel next heard from Judge Sinclair’s partner Trevor Haysom, who had also been at the judge’s table that night.

He was asked by special counsel if the judge had made any indication her comments had been an error or mistake.

“It wasn’t apparent to me at the time,” Haysom said.

“She made the statement but there was no significance in it, at that stage of the dinner anyway.”

The husband of another judge present that evening, Mark Sinclair, made glowing remarks about Judge Aitken and her husband Dr David Galler.

Sinclair said he had been made aware earlier that evening an NZ First event was also being held that night, saying he was surprised the party was holding a fundraiser at the Northern Club.

He described Judge Aitken as a useful mentor for his wife, Judge Allison Sinclair, who had been appointed after Judge Aitken.

Sinclair also spoke about the judge’s work establishing the Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Court as well as her and her husband’s time working in Samoa.

“I hope when all this is over, I wish them all the best, and that their good work is not forgotten, because of the accusations that have been made as part of this process.”

The inquiry continues next week.

Wet weather may force use of outfall pipe near Wellington beaches

Wellington Water says it is monitoring wet weather forecast for the capital this weekend as its Moa Point plant continues to leak raw sewage.

The sewage plant melted down last week, flooding the building with waste and sending raw sewage into the nearby south coast.

Nearby beaches remained off limits due to tens of millions of litres of screened but untreated sewage flowing out the plant’s 1.8-kilometre outfall pipe each day.

The water company said it may have to use its outfall pipe nearby the beaches at short notice due to increased water flows.

It said if that happened a clean-up crew would be sent to the shoreline.

MetService was forecasting rain and large swells up to seven metres in size on Sunday and Monday in Wellington.

Wellington Water said removal of sewage from the plant and cleaning its rooms were ongoing.

It was also working on understanding the state of the plant’s equipment and operations.

“This assessment will take some time, and we still expect there will be an extended outage at the plant.”

Sewage spill raises bird strike fear at Wellington Airport

Wellington Airport says it has noticed increased bird activity near its runway this week, and it is taking safety measures for planes following the Moa Point failure.

With the risk of bird strike for aircraft in mind, its head of operations, Matthew Palliser, told RNZ they were monitoring the animals.

“We are keeping a close eye on bird activity around the airport and have noticed some increased activity at times this week, but we are always prepared for this.”

Palliser said the airport had regular patrols checking the runway and that they worked closely with the Airways control tower.

“When required, we use a range of tools to scare birds off, including different noises.

“We also have a full-time Wildlife Officer who monitors bird activity.”

Land earmarked for new Kumeū high school

Source: New Zealand Government

The Government is delivering for the rapidly growing communities of North-West Auckland, with land now prioritised and earmarked for a much-needed new secondary school in Kumeū, Education Minister Erica Stanford says. 

“This Government is delivering for growth communities and acting now to support families with the schools they need. Protecting land through the Resource Management Act 1991 for a new Kumeū high school is a major milestone for North West Auckland,” Ms Stanford says. 

“This decision is part of a broader programme of delivery that is getting results. Through careful stewardship of public funds and a relentless focus on value for money, we are delivering more school property than ever before.” 

Ms Stanford says the Government has fundamentally changed how school property is delivered. 

“We have halved the cost of building a standard classroom while maintaining quality. That has allowed us to build 187 more classrooms, announce and fund 14 new schools and expansions, and purchase land for five future schools.

“In just two years, we have also invested nearly twice as much in school property maintenance as was spent in the six years prior. This is building for the future, spending wisely and delivering more for communities. 

Ms Stanford says initiating the designation of land for a Kumeū high school reflects forward planning in one of New Zealand’s fastest growing areas. 

“Before Christmas I initiated the process, and a Notice of Requirement (NoR) has been lodged with Auckland Council. The Council is now reviewing the NoR, which is subject to statutory timelines. 

“The land is adjacent to Huapai District School, and I look forward to providing an update later this year.” 

Local MP for Kaipara ki Mahurangi, Chris Penk, welcomed the announcement, saying it delivers on longstanding advocacy for the area. 

“I have long advocated for a new high school in North-West Auckland, both while in opposition and now in government, because I know how important this is for local families,” Mr Penk says. 

“This is a growing community that needs certainty, and I am delighted that we are now delivering for my constituents. Designating the site for a Kumeū secondary school is a significant step forward.” 

Ms Stanford says more school property announcements are expected this year. 

“We are building for the future and making smart investments today so communities have the schools they need tomorrow.” 

Notes to editor:  

  • Designations are used to facilitate the future education needs of growing communities. Lodging a Notice of Requirement is an important step to signal to the community that planning for their children’s educational needs is moving ahead.

Black Foils boss Peter Burling first to earn SailGP demerit points for Perth scrape with Swiss

Source: Radio New Zealand

New Zealand SailGP

4pm Saturday, 14 February & Sunday, 15 February

Wynyard Point, Auckland

Live updates on RNZ

Black Foils driver Peter Burling has found himself on the wrong side of history, after the incident that sidelined his SailGP boat at Perth last month.

Early in the opening race of the new season, New Zealand and Switzerland collided at high speed, with the Swiss shearing the transom off ‘Amokura’.

While the Europeans were able to repair their F50 cataraman overnight and return to the water for the second day of competition, the Kiwis were consigned to their sheds, copping the blame for the melee and earning penalty points for causing it.

They finished the weekend with no championship points and faced a nervous process to bring their boat to full integrity before this weekend’s home event at Auckland’s Wynyard Point.

The punishment took on an even more personal note for Burling, when he became the first recipient of demerit points under the league’s new ‘Super Licence’ for drivers, similar to Formula One motor-racing requirements.

“I seem to have become the first driver with the ‘honour’ of getting demerit points on my license,” he told the official media conference. “It’s a whole new thing and I’m not even sure how many I can get in a season – I should probably work that out at some stage.

“Got the email the other day – all part of the fun.”

Burling revealed to RNZ he received three demerit points, but bore no grudges.

“To me, the demerit points and the new licensing system that SailGP has put in is a real sign of maturity in the league. It’s a really cool step to see the league putting protocols in, so people have to go through a process to get on the F50 and be responsible for one of the roles onboard.

“Everyone has to pass a minimum standard in terms of their knowledge of the boat, knowledge of how the league operates… to be responsible for that role. It’s a good step for the league and also holding people accountable with its demerit points.

“Everyone’s going to have the odd crash. If you’re not bringing the boats close together, you’re not really racing.”

Burling still didn’t agree with the decision to penalise his team, but organisers seemed happy to play up the actual or perceived rivalry between the Kiwis and the Swiss.

“On the water, we got deemed that we didn’t turn quick enough, which – for me – is in the grey zone, if you look back at a lot of other incidents,” he said. “That’s the umpire’s call.

“In sailing, there’s Rule 14 as well, which is, if you can avoid a collision, you should. For me, at some stage, you can’t just disappear and I feel like there were two parties to the incident.

“That’s all in the past now, we’ve got to live by the decision and move forward.”

At the media conference, Burling was seated at the far end of the couch to Swiss counterpart Seb Schneiter, a detail that didn’t escape the attention of NZ-born Italy driver Phil Robertson.

“Why have you sat them so far apart?” Robertson chirped.

“We obviously spoke in the protest and a little bit after sailing,” Schneiter explained. “We had a birthday party last weekend and Pete was on the invite list, but he didn’t make it unfortunately.

“I think it’s part of the nature of racing these boats at such high speeds. It’s going to happen and, as Pete said, we have to learn as a league.

“No-one wants the boats to come together. Either you’re right or wrong, and there’s certainly a lot to learn from this.”

Burling was quick to explain his absence: “Just to set the story straight, last weekend, the weather was a bit nice down at Coromandel, so we decided with the family to stay there and not make the trip back to Auckland.”

He explained to RNZ that the Black Foils had history with the Swiss, who also clipped Amokura during a start at Abu Dhabi last November.

“That’s two from two events they’ve hit that corner of the boat,” Burling chuckled. “Hopefully, we can keep apart this weekend and, hopefully as a league, we can learn from the incidents.

“The incident we had you probably see 5-10 times a weekend, where people make a tiny mistake on the timing and other boats help alleviate the problem, in terms of two boats not coming together, and both get to carry and race.

“Hopefully, the Swiss learn from that.”

Ironically, New Zealand have gained one tiny benefit from their misfortune.

With a weather bomb hovering over the North Island on Friday, SailGP teams lost their only official practice day in Auckland.

The only boats allowed on the water were the home team, Spain and Germany, which had all undergone major modifications since Perth and needed to test out repairs, before racing began on Saturday.

Welcome to the Year of the Horse

Source: NZ Department of Conservation

The 2026 Chinese New Year is on Tuesday February 17, entering the Year of the Horse. As part of the celebrations, many people will be sharing gifts, including American ginseng and other traditional Chinese medicines.

Some of these products contain ingredients from species protected under CITES. To bring them into New Zealand, you need a CITES permit. Without a permit these items could be seized.

What is CITES

CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna, is an agreement between countries that regulates the illegal wildlife trade – the fourth biggest illegal activity worldwide behind arms, drugs and human trafficking.

CITES is one of the oldest conservation agreements in the world, and aims to ensure the international trade in wild animals and plants does not threaten the survival of species. ‘Trade’ in this instance refers to any movement of specimens or items across international borders.

Each country puts the agreement into law through their own legislation. In New Zealand this is the Trade in Endangered Species (TIES) Act 1989.

CITES covers over 40,000 species. This includes many plant and animal species used in traditional Chinese medicine, including Tiān Má, Renshen Guipi Wan, Shí Hú and American ginseng.

Traditional or alternative medicines which contain CITES species come in various forms. Some are raw materials or ingredients like whole and sliced roots and stems. Others are in commercial medicine packages like tablets, pills and plasters.

How does it work?

Regulation of the international wildlife trade requires international co-operation, and CITES provides this framework. CITES regulates and monitors the trade in plants, animals and their parts as they cross international borders. Once a species is CITES listed, it requires imports and exports to be authorised through a permitting system.

Because CITES is species-based, items that were sustainably harvested, hunted or farmed still require permits if their species is protected.

What happens at the border?

In New Zealand, MPI and NZ Customs detain suspected CITES items at the border for DOC’s CITES Officers to check and follow up. This includes items carried by international air passengers, cruise ship passengers or private boat users, or sent via international mail or freight.

People who bring in traditional medicines containing CITES protected species without the correct permits will have the product confiscated and may be fined or prosecuted.

Having items seized by border authorities can be embarrassing and disappointing for travellers and family members coming to celebrate. The best way to avoid these situations is to simply not bring these products into New Zealand.

Traditional Chinese medicines and American ginseng are both widely available here online, and in retail stores, so you do not need to import them. Buying within New Zealand also supports local businesses, makes it much easier for buyers, and generates economic activity in our communities.

Chinese New Year Festival and Market Day

In Auckland, the Chinese New Year Festival and Market Day will be on Saturday 14 February 2026 at the Auckland showgrounds. Staff from the CITES team will be onsite to provide more information about CITES and what you need to do if you want to bring CITES-protected traditional medicines into New Zealand.

Where do I start?

If you are buying traditional medicines online or having them sent or brought in by family overseas, make sure to check the rules on our website first.

Have a look at the CITES information on the DOC website. There is a special section, here, which lists traditional Chinese medicines covered by CITES. There are also CITES website pages in Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. CITES is complex, so if you need help working out what you need to do for a specific item, email us at cites@doc.govt.nz.

‘It’s appalling’ – the Auckland academic who appears in the Epstein files

Source: Radio New Zealand

“Lolita will never cease to shock”, wrote Brian Boyd in the introduction to his two-volume biography about Russian writer Vladimir Nabokov.

Fourteen years ago, when he spoke to Jeffrey Epstein about funding to write a book about the novel, the billionaire financier’s child sex abuse conviction “was not well known at all,” he says.

“If I’d known he’d been convicted, the last thing I would ever have done would be to suggest a book on Lolita,” Boyd tells RNZ’s Nights.
