‘Grave concerns’ for missing woman not seen for six months

Police have “grave concerns” for a woman who has not been seen for six months and are considering the possibility she may have been the victim of foul play.

They say her children want their mother back and the family are desperate for answers.

Rowena Walker was reported missing by her mother on 22 October.

In an interview with RNZ, Detective Senior Sergeant Jo Carolan said the 39-year-old’s last confirmed sighting was in Christchurch on 14 August last year.

“It appears that her last digital footprint, social media, phones, etc, was on the 15th of August 2025, she’s also had no contact with any of her children since around that date, which is very out of character for her.”

Carolan said the fact Walker had been missing without any trace for six months was “hugely concerning”.

“We’re really worried about her and have grave concerns for her safety, that she may no longer be alive is a possibility that we have to consider, but we’re exploring all the possibilities in detail,” she said.

“Rowena is a vulnerable person in the community, and we have to consider the possibility that she’s been the victim of foul play. We are keeping an open mind and exhausting all lines of inquiry, including that possibility. Rowena’s mother is caring for some of her grandchildren, and it’s really important that those kids have an answer as to where mum has gone.”

Asked if police had any persons of interest, Carolan said police were “talking to a number of people” and following every lead available.

“I won’t go into specifics of that, but it is fair to say that we’re sticking to everybody who is made known to us.”

Carolan said Walker was “reasonably transient” and was known to have family and associates all over the country.

“We don’t want to rule out any region of New Zealand, if there’s, if there’s somebody who would like to talk to us, who knows something about what has happened to her, we will speak to anybody from anywhere in the country,” she said.

“We have conducted a number of inquiries with people throughout Tasman, some Bay of Plenty, Auckland and Christchurch areas, and that is going to continue for as long as necessary.”

She said the last six months had been “very hard” on Walker’s family, particularly her mother and children.

“They haven’t seen mum now for six months and don’t understand why that is, they very much want to have mum back.

“They had almost daily contact with her, and now they don’t. And it’s it’s very sad situation. We just want to find out what’s happened to Rowena, so that we can let her family know”

Carolan said there will be someone out there who knows what happened to Walker.

“We are looking for more information, and we’re interested in hearing from anybody in the community who has anything to provide, whether they think it might not be very significant. We’d rather hear about it and make that assessment for ourselves. So we appeal to everybody in the community to come forward with any information that they have.”

She said the “best case scenario” was that Walker was alive and well.

“And for whatever reason, keeping herself to herself, and I would say to her that she’s got family and friends who are extremely worried about her and kids who miss her very, very much. And if that is the case, we would appeal to her to please, reach out to somebody.”

Carolan said despite the time between her last sighting and when police were notified, detectives had “really strong lines of inquiry” with a “significant number of staff” working on the investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to please contact Police online through 105.police.govt.nz or call 105, referencing file number 251022/9026.

Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

Ex-ministry staffer accuses government of ignoring education experts, teachers

Source: Radio New Zealand

RNZ / Quin Tauetau

A former Education Ministry staff member says the government’s curriculum rewrite ignored the views of many subject experts and teachers.

Waikato University academic Claire Coleman told Nine to Noon she worked on the curriculum until the middle of last year and said it was chaotic and politicised.

“There were changes, not following processes around procurement of the members of newly-appointed writing groups, getting rid of entire contributing groups and replacing them with people that had previous relationships with the minister, had conflicts of interest… being told ‘we’re not going to write this down because we don’t want people to know… so it’s not OIA-able’, essentially, that kind of behaviour,” she said.

Coleman made similar allegations during a submission to the Education and Workforce Select Committee on the government’s Education and Training (System Reform) Amendment Bill recently.

She told Nine to Noon she started working for the ministry on a rewrite of the Arts curriculum in 2022, but that was paused in late 2023 following the change of government.

“By the time that I left in the beginning of 2025, it was evident that none of the work that we had done was going to be used and they weren’t really interested in any of our expertise,” she said.

Coleman agreed a change of government could bring a change of direction for the curriculum, but she said the process was inappropriate and the public should be concerned.

She said she assumed government ministries would follow good-faith practices involving rigourous debate but that was not the case with the curriculum rewrite.

“What I saw was a case of ‘we’re not interested in talking to the people who know, this is what we want to do and we’re going to do it regardless’ and it’s a sort of ‘my way or the highway’ approach,” she said.

Coleman said the government should have listened to a wider range of views on the curriculum.

“You need a diverse range of opinions. You need to work through all of the nuances that are in education. It is a complicated space and you need to know enough to know what you don’t know and to bring in the right people into those conversations and to rely on the expertise and that’s, I think, the point of having a ministry,” she said.

“Regardless of which direction you want this to go in or regardless of what policy you want, you draw on the best people and the best evidence that you’ve got to make that a really solid piece of work.”

Coleman said proposed law changes would give future education ministers the power to rewrite the curriculum again, but that work should be left to education experts.

Education Minister Erica Stanford was asked to comment and her office referred Nine to Noon to an Education Ministry response supplied following Coleman’s select committee appearance.

It said the ministry was responsible for writing the curriculum and worked with a wide range of local education experts, teachers and other stakeholders.

“The curriculum-writing process is rigourous and includes multiple cycles of review and refinement. It combines evidence, insights, and experiences over the last 20 years with formal feedback and input from a wide range of groups from across the education sector,” the statement said.

“Ministers have always been responsible for the curriculum sign-off as part of the process.”

Watch: ‘Really special’ – team mates perform haka following Zoi Sadowski-Synnott’s medal win

Source: Radio New Zealand

Olympic medallist Zoi Sadowski-Synnott was honoured by her team mates with a haka following her silver medal win in the Big Air event at the Winter Olympics in Italy.

It was a record third medal in the event for Sadowski-Synott, who took silver in Beijing in 2022 and bronze in Pyeongchang in 2018.

“I went and saw my family, and then I turned around and the whole team was performing a haka for me,” she said. “It was really special and meant a lot to me.”

Sadowski-Synnott described the final is hugely inspiring.

“That was incredible! It was such a high level of snowboarding, and to see the progression over the last four years and see what it takes to get on the podium now, I couldn’t be more inspired,” she said.

“I’m just really grateful to be a part of it. It’s amazing seeing all these girls from all over the world who are really passionate about snowboarding doing so well.”

Sadowski-Synott went into the final as the top qualifier, but a disappointing first run put the pressure on her for the rest of the competition.

She was in tenth place after the first run when she failed to stick her landing and only managed a score of 27.75, with Japan’s Kokomo Murase leading the way with a score of 89.75.

With the best two scores from the three runs counting, Sadowski-Synott needed to pull out something special to salvage her competition.

The 24-year-old completed a backside triple-cork 1440 in her second run to score 88.75 and improved to eighth, while Korean Seungeun took the lead from Murase.

The Kiwi dropped in fifth in the final run, needing another high-scoring jump and responded with a switch backside 1260, which scored 83.50 and took her to the top of the scoreboard.

She held that position until the last two competitors, with Murase finishing on 179 points compared to Sadowski-Synott’s 172.25.

Sadowski-Synnott will defend her Slopestyle title next week.

NZ Post says deluge of UK passport applications causing delays

Source: Radio New Zealand

Some people following their applications’ progress using online trackers noticed they were being held up at an Auckland mail centre before being sent to the UK. 123RF

NZ Post says the volume of British passport applications is causing delays to them being sent to the UK.

A new requirement for dual nationality citizens to use a British passport to travel there took many travellers by surprise last month.

And with the deadline for the change only a fortnight away – 25 February – applications surged.

PostShop staff told customers they had to use an express service, which cost $121, to send their applications. But some people, following their packages’ progress using online trackers, noticed the applications were being held up at an Auckland mail centre before being sent to the UK.

One customer said her package was waiting In Auckland for nearly two weeks, without anyone contacting her to say there was an issue.

The tracker now showed ‘air transport planning is underway’.

NZ Post last week said incorrect customer declarations were responsible for delays.

But it has now apologised and said it was working to overcome the hold-up.

“Due to the increase in the number of passport applications being sent to the UK at the moment, it is taking a bit longer than usual for some of these items to move through their journey,” said a spokesperson. “We’re sorry for the delay and can assure customers that we are working as fast as possible to get these important items where they need to be.”

Staff checked that each item had complete information on its customs declaration, she said.

“This is a manual process and is taking a bit longer than usual due to the increased number we are receiving. We can assure customers that we are working through these as quickly as possible, including contacting individual customers who have missed some information off their Customs Declarations. We’re actively working on a solution to help speed this process up and get these items moving as fast as we can.”

EIT carpentry course lays foundation for Gisborne apprentice

Source: Eastern Institute of Technology

23 hours ago

Max Elsmore is building a future in the construction industry after completing a certificate in carpentry at EIT Tairāwhiti.

The 20-year-old from Gisborne completed the NZ Certificate in Construction Trade Skills (Carpentry Strand) (Level 3) last year, and has recently begun a building apprenticeship with Brendan Fry Building Ltd.

“The course prepared me really well. It helped me understand what was going to be happening on site and what would be expected of me.”

Max Elsmore completed the NZ Certificate in Construction Trade Skills (Carpentry) (Level 3) last year, and has recently begun a building apprenticeship with Brendan Fry Building Ltd.

His pathway into trades began while he was in Year 12 at Gisborne Boys’ High School through the Trades Academy – a year-long trades programme for secondary students.

“That gave me a good idea of what I was actually interested in.”

After leaving school at the end of Year 12, Max spent time working in several jobs before deciding to commit to a trade career.

“I tried a few different things, but none of them really stuck. That’s when I decided to go back to EIT and get some proper knowledge behind me.”

Encouraged by discussions with EIT Assistant Head of Trades (Tairāwhiti) Tim Jagusch, Max enrolled in the NZ Certificate in Construction Trade Skills (Carpentry Strand) (Level 3) – a 36-week course focused on core building skills, tool use and worksite expectations.

He said the learning environment at EIT played a key role in preparing him for employment.

“The tutor explained things in a way I could understand, and the class was really good. We shared information and helped each other out, which made it easier to learn.”

Now in the early stages of his apprenticeship, Max says he is enjoying the challenge of working on site and learning from experienced builders.

“I’m enjoying learning everything about it. My workmates are keen to teach me, which makes it even better.”

As part of his apprenticeship, Max will continue completing theory and assessments through EIT’s NZ Certificate in Carpentry (Level 4) alongside his practical training.

For Max, the appeal of building lies in seeing projects take shape.

“Watching something being built from the ground up is pretty satisfying. Knowing you helped create something that will be there for a long time – that’s what I enjoy most.”

Looking ahead, he hopes to become a qualified builder, gain his Licensed Building Practitioner status, and eventually run his own business.

“I’d like to get qualified first, and then maybe one day have my own building business if that’s achievable.”

He encourages others considering trades training to explore study at EIT.

“It’s a great place to learn. And it’s a really good environment.”

Howard Irving, School of Trades and Technology Tutor, said Max arrived on the course genuinely eager to learn, and that enthusiasm showed from day one.

“His consistent attendance and positive attitude made him an absolute pleasure to teach. The supportive environment created by us, along with the encouragement from his fellow ākonga, helped Max thrive throughout the programme. Altogether, these factors contributed to a highly successful pre trade experience and set him up with a solid foundation for his future pathway.”

Motorcylist nearly twice the limit after fleeing Police

Source: New Zealand Police

A motorcyclist’s decision to flee saw his wheels impounded and a variety of illicit drug items seized this morning.

The Papatoetoe man was also allegedly found to be nearly twice the legal breath alcohol limit.

A unit located the Harley Davidson on Great South Road, Papatoetoe at around 1.38am.

Counties Manukau West Area Response Manager, Senior Sergeant Steve Albrey says two people were on the bike at the time.

“Due to the driving behaviour, the unit activated lights and siren to stop the bike,” he says.

“The rider has failed to stop and sped away from the unit at high speed and was seen running a red light.”

The Harley Davidson wasn’t pursued, but the Police Eagle helicopter deployed overhead and tracked its movements.

“Eagle located the motorcycle heading into a Papatoetoe property, attempting to hide in a garage,” Senior Sergeant Albrey says.

“Ground units attended the address and located both the rider and his passenger.”

While at the rider’s property, Police made further illicit discoveries.

This included a bag of cannabis, a cannabis plant and methamphetamine utensils.

Senior Sergeant Albrey says the rider appeared intoxicated and allegedly returned a breath alcohol result of 441mcg.

The 48-year-old man will be summonsed to court for the drink driving offence, with enquiries ongoing into the drug offences.

“Operating any vehicle or motorcycle while under the influence of alcohol is extremely risky,” Senior Sergeant Albrey says.

“It’s fortunate that the rider, his passenger or anyone else in the community wasn’t injured as a result of his actions last night.”

The passenger on the motorcycle, a 34-year-old woman, was also arrested for an unrelated warrant to arrest.

ENDS.

Bremworth shareholders told to expect less cash in hand if takeover goes ahead

Source: Radio New Zealand

Bremworth carpet wool. Bremworth

  • Carpet maker Bremworth earnings hit by tough trading
  • Company under takeover offer from owner of main rival Godfrey Hirst
  • Cash return to shareholders likely to be less than first estimated
  • Commerce Commission has concerns over proposed takeover

Shareholders in carpet company Bremworth have been told they will likely get less cash in the hand if a proposed takeover by the owner of their main competitor goes ahead.

The company has been made an offer by the world’s biggest flooring company US-based Mohawk Industries, which also owns competing brands Godfrey Hirst and Feltex.

It has offered 75 cents a Bremworth share, with the offer to be topped up by a distribution of excess Bremworth capital, which was estimated at the time between 30 and 40 cents a share, taking the total takeover price to between $1.05 and $1.15 cents a share, valuing Bremworth at between $70 million and $77m.

In an update on the proposal, the company said its earnings were struggling and it may not have as much spare cash as originally thought to pay to shareholders if the takeover goes ahead.

“The trading conditions that Bremworth has faced have been more difficult than anticipated. This has impacted Bremworth’s earnings, and resulted in a deterioration of Bremworth’s cash position.”

It said the capital return to shareholders now looked to be 20-30 cents a share, reducing the total takeover price to 95c-$1.05.

“Bremworth emphasises that this estimate is based on assumptions of market conditions, business performance and the timing of implementation. It therefore remains subject to change,” the statement said.

The takeover, which is backed by the Bremworth board, is being considered by the Commerce Commission which has issued a list of concerns including the prospect it would substantially lessen competition, impact prices, and that it might reduce choice for consumers.

The commission has extended its decision deadline to mid-March, but Bremworth said that might be pushed out again to mid-to-late May.

Bremworth said if the takeover does not proceed it was likely its finances would worsen.

Former Silver Ferns’ assistant Deb Fuller to coach Malawi Queens

Dame Noeline Taurua’s coaching bench will have a new look to it at the Commonwealth Games with long-time Silver Ferns assistant Deb Fuller to coach the Malawi Queens.

Fuller has been appointed as the new High Performance Netball Consultant for the Malawi Queens on a one year contract.

In an announcement on its website the Netball Association of Malawi (NAM) said Fuller brought a wealth of international expertise to support the team’s preparations for the 2026 Commonwealth Games and the 2026 Africa Netball Cup.

“A highly respected figure in the global netball community, Debbie is a former elite player and an accomplished coach with over 25 years of experience in the sport. She has served as Assistant Coach for the New Zealand Silver Ferns from 2018 to 2025, contributing to significant international successes.”

“We are grateful to Jane Patterson, Interim CEO of Netball New Zealand, for allowing Debbie to support NAM in this endeavour, and for understanding our efforts in strengthening our high-performance and organizational capability under a new management structure. Netball New Zealand views this as a positive opportunity and one that aligns with its broader objectives of supporting global netball relationships.”

Fuller told RNZ her contract with Netball NZ ended in December and a friend in England connected her to the role.

“Netball NZ and Noel’s [Silver Fern coach] have been super supportive of the opportunity to work with Malawi Netball, it has been in discussion since late November last year,” Fuller said.

NAM president Vitumbiko Gubuduza said they were confident that Fuller’s strategic, athlete-centred approach will inspire players and help unlock the full potential of the Queens’ squad while training the next generation of coaches.

As head coach, Fuller will interview and select her management team, including an assistant coach and manager, who she will lead during her contract.

Patterson was announced interim CEO in mid January, following the resignation of Jennie Wyllie in December after what was a disastrous year for the national body.

In September, Silver Ferns’ coach Dame Noeline Taurua and her coaching team were suspended, over concerns about the high performance environment, sparked by complaints from some of the players.

Dame Noeline was later reinstated, with Netball NZ saying the two parties had agreed to embed changes to the Silver Ferns’ programme and environment.

It wasn’t clear what would happen to her long-time assistant coach Deb Fuller, or specialist coach Briony Akle.

In early January, Stephen Hotter resigned from his role as head of High Performance, which he had held since the start of 2023.

In mid January, Netball NZ also announced Chelsea Lane’s appointment as Head of Performance – Silver Ferns.

Netball NZ said Lane would help to “assemble the team that will take the programme forward” and strengthen leadership within the Silver Ferns’ high performance programme.

Fuller was re-appointed Silver Ferns’ assistant coach in 2024, a few months after Taurua reapplied and was re-appointed.

Like Taurua, Fuller went through an interview process and was up against other candidates.

In 2019 the pair pulled off a remarkable victory at the World Cup in Liverpool.

During their partnership, the duo also enjoyed two Constellation Cup victories over rivals Australia and a bronze medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Malawi, who are currently ranked eighth in the world, have been ranked as high at fifth.

Fuller is due to arrive in the country on 21 February for a training block with the Malawi Queens.

Love Food Hate Waste grants now open

Source: Auckland Council

Got a clever idea to help Aucklanders cut down on food waste? Auckland Council’s Love Food Hate Waste grants are open again, and this year there’s extra funding on the table.

From 9 February to 15 March, individuals and organisations can apply for $500–$6,000 to run projects that teach people how to make their kai go further. The maximum grant has increased this year to help cover the rising costs of running community activities.

Projects can be anything that helps households waste less food. From cooking classes and meal‑planning workshops to digital content, community events, or creative ways of sharing food‑saving tips.

Community ideas making a difference

Kaipātiki Project Ecohub ran a series of food‑waste‑minimisation workshops last year using funding from the programme. Fundraising and Programme Manager Joanne Kyriazopoulos says people loved learning new ways to save money and reduce waste.

“Our workshops were well attended and people loved walking away with simple, practical tips they could use straight away. They discovered that making the most of food isn’t hard or time‑consuming and it can be tasty! These workshops wouldn’t have been possible without the support from the Love Food Hate Waste grant.”

Auckland Council General Manager Waste Solutions Justine Haves says the fund helps communities share skills they already have.

“The Love Food Hate Waste grants are designed to support practical, community‑led ideas that help Aucklanders enjoy more of the food they buy and grow. I strongly encourage individuals and organisations to apply. Every initiative, big or small, plays a part in preventing edible food from being wasted.”

At a glance

Applications open: 9 February 2026

Applications close: 15 March 2026

Funding available: $500–$6,000

Best suited for: Projects helping households reduce avoidable food waste

Not covered: Composting or food‑scrap processing (apply to the Waste Minimisation and Innovation Fund instead)

More info: Details are available now on the Auckland Council website.

Auckland Council supports Love Food Hate Waste NZ, a nationwide movement encouraging New Zealanders to reduce the amount of edible food thrown away. The 2025 Rabobank–KiwiHarvest Food Waste Survey found that Kiwis waste around $3 billion of food a year, money that could be saved simply by using more of what we buy.

Palace ready to help UK police in any inquiry into king’s brother Andrew

Source: Radio New Zealand

By Michael Holden, Reuters

Britain’s King Charles III has made clear his “profound concern” at allegations against Andrew, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said. AFP / POOL / PAUL ELLIS

Buckingham Palace says it is ready to support any police investigation into King Charles’ younger brother after emails suggested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor might have shared confidential British trade documents with Jeffrey Epstein.

Mountbatten-Windsor, already cast out of the royal inner circle over his close relationship with Epstein, has faced fresh scrutiny since the recent publication of millions of new documents relating to the late convicted US sex offender.

“The king has made clear, in words and through unprecedented actions, his profound concern at allegations which continue to come to light in respect of Mr Mountbatten-Windsor’s conduct,” a palace spokesperson said.

Royal family ready to back investigation of Andrew

In the latest files released in the US, emails suggest he shared official British trade documents with Epstein in 2010, after Epstein’s conviction for child sex crimes, leaking information from his then-role as an official government envoy.

The documents appear to show that Andrew forwarded Epstein reports about Vietnam, Singapore and other places, which he had been sent in relation to an official trip.

Trade envoys are usually barred from sharing sensitive or commercial documents. The 65-year-old second son of the late Queen Elizabeth has always denied any wrongdoing and has not responded to requests for comment since the latest release of Epstein files.

Thames Valley Police said the issue had been reported to them and that they were assessing whether to formally investigate.

The palace added: “While the specific claims in question are for Mr Mountbatten-Windsor to address, if we are approached by Thames Valley Police, we stand ready to support them as you would expect …

“As was previously stated, their majesties’ thoughts and sympathies have been, and remain with, the victims of any and all forms of abuse.”

The king’s son Prince William and his wife Kate had said on Monday they were deeply concerned by the continuing Epstein revelations, in another pointed message from the royal family.

“Their thoughts remain focused on the victims,” their spokesperson told reporters ahead of the prince’s arrival on a high-profile tripto Saudi Arabia.

Andrew and Epstein an embarrassment for King and royals

Mountbatten-Windsor was forced to quit all official royal duties in 2019 over his ties with Epstein and, in October, King Charles removed his title of prince. Last week, he was forced to move out of his royal mansion.

In 2022, he settled a lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre which accused him of sexually abusing her when she was a teenager, through her association with Epstein. Giuffre died by suicidelast April.

While the royal family have attempted to distance themselves from Mountbatten-Windsor, he remains a thorn in their side.

“Charles, how long have you known about Andrew and Epstein?” a man shouted from the crowd as the king arrived in Clitheroe, northern England, the second time he had been heckled in a week.

Last week, police also said they were reviewing a new allegation against Andrew, triggered by the latest files, involving a woman being taken to an address in Windsor near London, where he has lived on the royal estate.

Over the last 10 days, revelations from the files have also engulfed Prime Minister Keir Starmer in what is widely viewed as the biggest crisis of his premiership for having appointed Peter Mandelson, an acquaintance of Epstein, as ambassador to the U.S.

Like Andrew, it appears that Mandelson also shared sensitive government files from 2009 and 2010 with Epstein, and police are investigating claims of misconduct in public office.
