Greens announce bill to entrench Māori seats in law

Source: Green Party

Today, the Green Party is announcing a member’s bill, in the name of Hūhana Lyndon, to entrench Māori seats in law. 

“Entrenching Māori seats in law is only a start, but a necessary one,” says the Green Party’s Māori Development spokesperson, Hūhana Lyndon. 

“A thriving democracy, one which we can all be proud of, requires that all people participate in ways that make sense to them. Entrenching Māori seats protects that right for generations to come. 

“This Bill aims to correct a constitutional imbalance of the treatment of Māori seats. General Electorate seats are currently entrenched. Māori seats are not. That’s not democracy; it is constitutionally flawed, and prejudices Māori in the electoral system. 

“The Bill also implements the recommendations of the Independent Electoral Review 2023 to allow Māori to switch rolls at any time, and vote on a different roll for local elections. 

“The coalition government have ignored the real issues with our electoral system and independent recommendations to fix them.  

“Parliament has decided that some provisions of electoral law, such as the voting age and the method of voting, are so important, that they can only be changed with the support of 75 per cent of MPs instead of the usual 50 per cent. Currently, Māori seats can be abolished by a simple majority. 

“What we do with our democracy matters, who we shut out and who we afford special privileges shape the decisions made in Parliament and the direction this country is taken in. 

“With the coalition making every possible attempt to undermine te Tiriti and Māori voices, the time is now to implement independent recommendations to protect and strengthen the Māori roll. 

“It is high time that Luxon stood up for the good of our nation and upheld the dignity, meaning and integrity of our founding agreements. As such, I look forward to his support for this Bill,” says Hūhana Lyndon.

Donald Trump, Xi Jinping discuss Taiwan and soybeans in call aimed at easing China, US relations

  • Soybean futures rally on potential deal announced by Trump
  • Trump and Xi look to stabilize relations
  • US president may visit Beijing in April

China is considering buying more US-farmed soybeans, President Donald Trump says after what he called “very positive” talks with President Xi Jinping, even as Beijing warned Washington about arms sales to Taiwan.

In a goodwill gesture two months before Trump’s expected visit to Beijing, Trump said Xi would consider hiking soybean purchases from the United States to 20 million tons in the current season, up from 12m tons previously. Soybean futures rallied sharply.

Hours after Xi’s virtual meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Xi and Trump discussed Taiwan and a wide range of trade and security issues that remain a source of tension between the world’s two biggest economies. Both leaders publicly affirmed their personal stake in strong relations after the call, their first since November.

Trump said the call was “all very positive,” that his relationship with Xi is “extremely good” and that “we both realize how important it is to keep it that way.” An official Chinese government account said that Xi had said, “I attach great importance to Sino-U.S. relations.”

Though Trump has tagged China as the reason for several hawkish policy steps from Canada to Greenland and Venezuela, he has eased policy toward Beijing in the past several months in key areas from tariffs to advanced computer chips and drones.

“Both sides are signalling that they want to preserve stability in the US-China relationship,” said Bonnie Glaser, head of the Indo-Pacific program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, a think tank.

Areas of tension and goodwill gestures

One key area of tension is on Taiwan policy. The United States announced its largest-ever arms sales deal with Taiwan in December, including $11.1 billion in weapons that could ostensibly be used to defend against an attack by China. Taiwan expects more such sales.

China views Taiwan as its own territory, a position Taipei rejects. The United States has formal diplomatic ties with China, but maintains unofficial ties with Taiwan and is the island’s most important arms supplier. The United States is bound by law to provide Taiwan with the means to defend itself.

“The United States must carefully handle arms sales to Taiwan,” China said in an official summary of the meeting. The dismissal or investigation into several senior military leaders in China has stirred concern about the implications for Chinese foreign policy. Trump downplayed the investigation into Central Military Commission vice-chairman Zhang Youxia, saying over the weekend that “as far as I’m concerned, there’s one boss in China,” and “that’s President Xi”.

The last nuclear treaty between Russia and the United States is soon to expire, raising the risk of a new arms race in which China would also play a key role with its own growing nuclear stockpile. Trump has said that he wants China to be part of arms control. The Kremlin said it was a topic between Xi and Putin.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment about whether arms control had been discussed between Xi and Trump.

Soybeans, airplanes and oil

Economic issues continue to be a flashpoint between the world’s biggest consumer and its biggest factory. Trump has made tariffs on imports a pillar of his strategy to revive domestic manufacturing jobs. US Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday (local time) unveiled plans for a preferential trade bloc of allies for critical minerals, part of an effort to eliminate one key area of leverage that China has over the United States given its control of key metals. But the two sides are working to find areas of accord heading into an expected April state visit by Trump to Beijing. Trump and Xi last met in person in October in South Korea, where a fragile trade truce was struck.

Soybeans are a key issue because struggling US farmers are a major domestic political constituency for Trump, and China is the top consumer. Overseas sales of US soybeans this year slumped to the lowest in 14 years due to trade tensions with China. Benchmark Chicago Board of Trade soybean futures surged more than 3 percent to a two-month high after Trump’s post.

China’s commerce ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the soybean purchases Trump mentioned.

US Representative Ro Khanna, a House of Representatives Democrat who sits on a select committee focused on China, criticized Trump’s effort at dealmaking.

“He points to China’s soybean buying as proof of progress, despite volumes still trailing where they stood before he took office,” Khanna said in a statement. “He says nothing about China’s aggression towards Taiwan, support for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine or human rights abuses.”

In addition to soybeans, the US and Chinese leaders discussed Iran, Russia’s war in Ukraine, airplane engines and oil and gas, Trump said.

China has been Venezuela’s top oil buyer for years, and the sales helped Caracas repay massive loans to Beijing in debt-for-oil deals. The United States removed President Nicolas Maduro last month, and it has suggested that China will have to buy Venezuelan oil on US terms.

Yacht abandoned off the Far North Coast after arrests at sea

Source: Independent Police Conduct Authority

18 December 2025

The Independent Police Conduct Authority has found that Police should have sought advice on safeguarding a yacht before arresting its master and abandoning it at sea.

On the afternoon of 2 December 2024, the master of a 52-foot ketch (Mr X) made a mayday call off the Far North Coast of the North Island, reporting that he had been stabbed by his crew mate (Mr Y). In the hours that followed, Police organised their response, locating the yacht shortly after 8pm about ten nautical miles offshore.

Mr X and Mr Y were compliant when Police arrived. However, the Police team leader was concerned about the mental health of both men and the condition of the ketch. For these and other reasons, both men were arrested on existing arrest warrants and returned to shore, leaving the yacht adrift.

Mr X later complained about the decision to abandon his yacht and not allowing him to retrieve some of his property before it was set adrift. He also complained that he and Mr Y were not provided with lifejackets on the trip to shore and that Police failed to deal with them appropriately while in custody at the Whangārei Police Station.

The Authority found that the arrests of Mr X and Mr Y were lawful, but Police should have done more in the planning stages to mitigate the loss of the yacht if it were to be abandoned, and to enhance the chances of its recovery. The Authority also thought more consideration should have been given to allowing Mr X to retrieve some of his property, although we accept the circumstances were hazardous and reboarding the yacht may not have been without risk.

The officers did not provide the men with lifejackets. Police say that in the circumstances, the risks in removing the handcuffs from both men, to fit them with lifejackets, outweighed the risks in not doing so. We disagree with this assessment and find that not fitting the men with life jackets involved unnecessary risk. We also found that Police should have arranged mental health assessments for the men while they were in Police custody and more should have been done to deal with Mr X’s complaint against Mr Y in relation to the alleged assault.

Mr X’s yacht was his home and contained all of his possessions. Although considerable effort was made by Mr X to find his yacht in the days that followed, it has not been located.

Police conduct unlawful entry to arrest a man in Hawkes Bay

Source: Independent Police Conduct Authority

11 December 2025

The Independent Police Conduct Authority has found that Police in Hawkes Bay unlawfully entered a house to arrest a man for breaching bail.

During the evening of 14 July 2024, seven Police officers went to a house in Flaxmere to arrest a man for breaching his electronically monitored bail. At the front door, officers told the man he was under arrest. The man denied breaching bail and refused to cooperate with the officers, trying to shut the door. Officers then entered the house, relying on a power they believed was available to them under section 7 of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012; they considered the man had been arrested and was therefore deemed to be unlawfully at large when he refused to come out of the house.

We found this power was not available in this case, as officers had not effected the arrest of the man as he stood inside the house (police had no lawful power to enter and complete the arrest). Police should have applied for an arrest warrant, under section 37 of the Bail Act, if they suspected entry to the house would be required to complete the arrest.

The issues in this case are not isolated. From other complaints we receive, there is widespread misunderstanding by officers of section 7 of the Search and Surveillance Act, and the powers available when arresting someone for breach of bail or arresting someone while they are inside private property.

In this case we also found that initial force used against the man was unjustified because the first Police entry into the house was unlawful. Later force, and subsequent entry to the house, was lawful and justified because officers believed there was risk to the man’s life.

The Authority recommended Police deliver training on this issue to frontline staff across all districts and to consider how officers can obtain a warrant to arrest when outside of Court hours.

Man suffers serious head injury after Taser use by three officers in Wellington

Source: Independent Police Conduct Authority

27 November 2025

On 9 January 2025, Police were dispatched to an urgent family harm incident on Cockayne Road in Wellington. A man was reportedly armed with a large knife and was chasing a woman who was holding a baby in the street.

Three officers located the man at a nearby bus stop. He was standing at the entrance of the bus shelter, while the woman was sitting on a bench behind him, still holding the baby. The man had half of a hedge-trimming scissor in his hand. An officer attempted to communicate with him, and the man became focused on Police. The woman managed to escape from behind him and began to run away. The man noticed her fleeing and moved purposefully toward her with the weapon in hand.

One officer deployed a Taser against the man, but it was ineffective. At that moment, the man turned around and faced the officers in an aggressive stance. As he started pulling out the Taser wires that had made contact with him, two other officers discharged their Tasers at him in quick succession.

This time, the Taser was effective, causing the man to fall and hit his head on the tarmac road surface. He sustained a serious head injury and was taken to Wellington Hospital.

The Independent Police Conduct Authority conducted an investigation and concluded that the officers were justified in using their Tasers against the man to protect the woman and the baby, as well as to ensure their own safety and that of their colleagues. We also concluded that the Police did not delay medical care for the man and that they appropriately discharged their duty of care toward him.

Officer’s failure to recognise conflict of interest led to inappropriate use of Police database

Source: Independent Police Conduct Authority

20 November 2025

The Independent Police Conduct Authority has found that an officer who was involved in a driving incident while off duty and subsequently used the Police database to obtain information and contact the other driver, failed to recognise that he had a conflict of interest.

On 24 July 2024, an off duty officer was involved in an incident where two cars attempted to merge into the same lane. The officer took note of the other car’s registration and the next day, while on duty, discussed the matter with a senior officer. He believed from that conversation that he was authorised to access the Police database to obtain the other driver’s contact details. He subsequently contacted the other driver to discuss the incident and their manner of driving.

The other driver complained to the Authority that the officer had been aggressive on the telephone and should not have been able to access his personal information. The Authority conducted an independent investigation into the matter.

The Authority accepts the officer was not conscious of his conflict of interest. He believed he had authorisation to obtain information from the Police database. In our assessment, the officer demonstrated poor judgement and decision making, but did not act dishonestly or breach Police policy (because he consulted a senior officer).

Review of Police handling of complaints against Jevon McSkimming

Source: Independent Police Conduct Authority

In a report released today, the Independent Police Conduct Authority has found significant failings in the way in which senior Police responded to serious complaints made against Jevon McSkimming in 2023 and early 2024.

The complaints, formally referred to the IPCA on 10 October 2024, included allegations of sexual interaction without consent, threats to use an intimate visual recording, and misuse of a Police credit card and Police property to further a sexual relationship. Some of the complaints alleged criminal conduct, while others alleged behaviour constituting a potential breach of the Police Code of Conduct.

The allegations arose from a sexual relationship between the complainant and Mr McSkimming that developed in 2016. The complainant was 21 and Mr McSkimming was 42. Each party gives a markedly different account of the nature of the relationship.

Most of the complaints before October 2024 were made through various emails and other Internet communications to individuals, but they were also made by way of:

  • a comment on a Police LinkedIn announcement that Mr McSkimming had been appointed a statutory Deputy Commissioner in April 2023; and
  • three complaints through the Police 105 on-line reporting portal in April 2024.

The Police response to these complaints was characterised by inaction and an unquestioning acceptance of Mr McSkimming’s narrative of events.

While there was no evidence of collusion between officers in this respect, the IPCA has nevertheless found serious misconduct by a number of very senior officers and other senior Police employees during 2023 and early 2024 that has undermined the integrity of the organisation as a whole.

Those findings are made in respect of, among others, the then Commissioner, two Deputy Commissioners and an Assistant Commissioner. In particular:

  • No effective action was taken to investigate the comment on the LinkedIn announcement.
  • A report by the joint Police/Health Fixated Threat Assessment Centre in February 2024 identified the fact that potential criminal and Police Code of Conduct concerns relating to Mr McSkimming were being alleged in the emails and suggested referral to the Police National Integrity Unit and the IPCA with a view to possible investigation. However, the Deputy Commissioner and the Acting Assistant Commissioner (Investigations) to whom this recommendation was directed took no action. Instead, the only investigation that was launched focused on potential offences by the complainant under the Harmful Digital Communications Act, leading to her prosecution.
  • The complaints to the Police 105 reporting line were not immediately acted on and not notified to the IPCA as is required by statute and by agreed processes between Police and the IPCA. There was an unacceptable delay in initiating an investigation, which effectively did not commence until July 2024. When the complaints were eventually referred for a preliminary investigation, the terms of reference were inappropriately worded and did not comply with Adult Sexual Assault Policy.
  • When Police referred the matter to the IPCA in October 2024 then-Commissioner Coster attempted to influence the nature and extent of the investigation and the timeframe for its completion. Those attempts were perceived by some others within Police as designed to bring the investigation to a rapid and premature conclusion so as not to intersect with the Commissioner appointment process and jeopardise Mr McSkimming’s prospects of being appointed as the next Commissioner of Police, notwithstanding the seriousness of the allegations being made.
  • In 2023, while a member of the interview panel for the statutory Deputy Commissioner appointment process, Commissioner Coster failed to disclose to the Public Service Commission his knowledge of Deputy McSkimming’s relationship which had subsequently led to the emails alleging misconduct. This failure clearly fell below what a reasonable person would have expected of a person in his position. Subsequently, Commissioner Coster’s disclosure to the Public Service Commission on 8 October 2024, during the interim Commissioner appointment process, also fell well short of what a reasonable person would have expected, given what he knew at the time.

The serious misconduct identified by the Authority in this report should not tarnish the reputation of those Police staff throughout the country who deal with difficult and risky situations every day with restraint, impartiality and fairness. It is also important to note that the report draws attention to a number of staff who acted with integrity and moral courage in their efforts to do the right thing in the face of considerable pressure from more senior colleagues.

Nevertheless, the findings in this report graphically demonstrate that the integrity system needs to be strengthened in order to ensure that it operates with transparency, fairness and independence when conduct issues arise at any level in Police. While Police have made significant advances towards a more positive culture since the Bazley inquiry in 2008, the settings in place to protect and enhance integrity are still not sufficiently robust to enable the public to have confidence that Police will do their job ‘without fear or favour.’ A sustained plan of action is required to effect further substantial change. There ought to be a focus on leadership, but supported by stronger organisational settings that sustain good practice and protect integrity, including even when leadership fails.

To that end, the IPCA has made a number of fundamental recommendations for change. These include:

  • more specific recognition of who is responsible for the protection of integrity at senior management level;
  • a revamp of Police internal policies and programmes to promote positive culture around integrity issues and ethical behaviour;
  • changes to the Integrity and Conduct Unit within Police to enable it to play a stronger and more independent role and more effectively to act against poor behaviour when it arises;
  • legislative and structural changes to enable more robust criminal and employment processes and outcomes in relation to alleged misconduct by Police officers;
  • a strengthening of the IPCA’s oversight role; and
  • enhanced Ministerial and Parliamentary oversight.

The report describes complaints and allegations made against Mr McSkimming. It does not make any findings as to the truth of these allegations.

We have assessed Police actions solely on the basis of what the officers concerned knew at the time. The outcome of any investigation into those complaints and allegations is irrelevant to the findings in this report, as are any other allegations relating to Deputy Commissioner McSkimming that have subsequently come to light.

The IPCA will not be making any further comment.

Postscript

Today’s report only concerns the first aspect of the Authority’s investigation: the question of whether Police responded appropriately to the allegations made by the complainant, before the formal investigation into these complaints was launched in November 2024. The Authority is still reviewing the adequacy of that investigation. The IPCA will be reporting on this as soon as practicable.

A Harry Potter villain is now an unlikely new-year mascot in China

Source: Radio New Zealand

Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter’s privileged teen nemesis in J.K. Rowling’s wildly successful book series, is popping up in festive displays in the country ahead of the Lunar New Year.

The good fortune is in the name: “Malfoy” is transliterated as “Ma Er Fu” in Mandarin. The first word “Ma” means “horse” (马), while the third refers to good fortune (福). Read together, it sounds like horses are bringing good luck.

Videos on Chinese social media show people adorning their homes with red posters carrying well-wishing phrases, known as fai chun or chunlian, in an annual festive ritual.

Only this time, alongside messages wishing for wealth and health is the signature grin of the blond bully from Hogwarts school.

The Year of the Horse begins on 17 February with the end of the Year of the Snake (an animal equally apt for Malfoy, as the symbol of Slytherin, his house at Hogwarts).

The Harry Potter franchise has been a hit in China. Nearly 10 million translated copies of books were sold even before the last instalment was released in 2007, its Chinese publisher told state broadcaster CCTV that year.

When the re-mastered version of the first Harry Potter movie was released again in 2020, the film raked in US$27.6 million (NZ$46m) at China’s box office, state news agency Xinhua reported.

Tom Felton, who played Malfoy in the Harry Potter film series for a decade from 2001, marked his most famous role’s unlikely crossover.

He posted a picture on his Instagram of a giant banner hanging at the atrium of a Chinese shopping mall, featuring the character in a wizard costume.

A short clip on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok, shows someone sticking their Malfoy-faced fai chun on their fridge. The video garnered more than 60,000 likes, with another user commenting: “You’re genius.”

Some in China have spotted an opportunity to make a few bucks, selling the posters on Chinese e-commerce platforms.

“The fu has arrived,” one customer wrote on Pinduoduo, another e-commerce platform.

“Bring me some fortune in 2026, young master,” they said.

Wellington surfers fear return of ‘turds in the waves’ era after Moa Point failure

Untreated waste water is leaking onto the capital’s south coast beaches due to the Moa Point Treatment Plant flooding. RNZ / Samuel Rillstone

Surfers and surf lifesavers are devastated Wellington’s south coast is off-limits while sewage spews into the sea, worrying it’s a return to a time when there were “turds in the waves”.

An equipment failure at the Moa Point wastewater treatment plant has flooded the site, and sewage is flowing into the coastline, with no timeline on a fix.

Wellington mayor Andrew Little labelled it a “catastrophic failure” and an “environmental disaster”.

Wellington Water is focusing on cleaning up the flooding so it can safely restore power and allow sewage – still untreated – to be pumped through the long outfall pipe nearly 2km into Cook Strait, rather than into Tarakena Bay close to shore.

People have been told not to swim in the water, RNZ / Samuel Rillstone

That could take days.

In the meantime, people are being urged not to enter the water, collect seafood, or walk their dogs on the beach, and a rāhui is in place.

Jamie McCaskill from Wellington Boardriders told Morning Report he was gutted and devastated.

“We’ve got a few events coming up, this is a bad time for us … it’s just really not a good time, especially at this time of year.”

The worst part was not knowing when the water would be safe, McCaskill said. He wanted clear communication from Wellington Water about that.

McCaskill worried it would be a return to decades prior, before the long outfall pipe was built.

“I’ve been talking to a few of the legend surfers, and kind of before 1989 there was just … raw sewage, smells on the rocks, on the wall, surfing in barrels with turds in the waves,” he said.

“There were sicknesses, ear infections, skin infections, gastro, so we’re just trying to avoid that, that’s for sure.”

Wellington’s Moa Point wastewater treatment plant has been shut down and staff evacuated from the site, after an equipment failure flooded multiple floors. RNZ / Samuel Rillstone

There were no other places nearby to surf, he said.

“We could go to Wainuiomata or over to the Wairarapa but it’s just such a long way, it’s a bit of a bummer that we just can’t go locally.”

‘It’s really concerning’

Lyall Bay Surf Lifesaving Club chairperson Matt Flannery said his members were as disappointed as the rest of the community.

“We can’t use what is a beautiful part of the city,” he said.

“It’s really concerning.”

The club has had to reschedule this weekend’s planned competitions, and it has disrupted members’ training for national competitions.

“We’re at the final part of the season where we’ve got very regular use on the beach, with probably 70 or 80 club members in the water on a daily basis, so that’s a fairly big impact,” Flannery said.

“It’s at a time of the year that we’re training for national championships four weeks out, and obviously the uncertainty about when the beach will reopen is of a major concern for us.”

That uncertainty made their rejigged training plans “a bit of a guessing game”, Flannery said.

Lifeguards would not be patrolling the beach this weekend, and a red flag would fly at the club to show the beach was unsafe.

The mayor told Morning Report he shared residents’ anger and frustration.

“This is my neighbourhood, this is where I take my dog for a walk, and along that coastline is where I spend my time, that’s where I go kayaking and swimming,” Andrew Little said.

Wellington Water is taking water samples from a wide area and expected to provide an update later on Thursday.

‘Hero’ saves family of four from drowning

Source: Radio New Zealand

Kai Iwi Lakes. RNZ / Peter de Graaf

A family of four have been saved from drowning by a fast-thinking local man being described by police as a “hero”.

The rescue happened earlier this month at Kai Iwi Lakes, north of Dargaville.

Haruru man Aaron Stott was walking along the beach with his wife, family and a friend one early evening when they saw “a couple of kids in the water and noticed something wasn’t quite right”.

“Then all of a sudden the mum ran in and basically just went under,” he said in a statement released by police on Thursday.

He ran after them, and pulled the mother and a child into shallow water.

“And then I thought, ‘Oh thank goodness, I’ve got them out and they’re okay.'”

Then someone yelled out there were two more people in trouble. Stott could not see anyone, so dove under – and found two more people at the bottom of the lake.

He pulled them up to the surface.

“Someone grabbed the father and he was okay, but I was holding the boy who was blue and unresponsive.

“I carried him up to the beach and whacked him on the back a couple of times before putting him on his side and he started breathing again.”

By then a nurse had arrived on the scene and paramedics were on their way.

“If I was 10 seconds later I think it would have been a really different outcome.”

A Hato Hone St John ambulance crew treated family members at the scene.

“He’s a hero – there’s no two ways about it,” Senior Sergeant Dave Wilkinson said. “He didn’t hesitate, he dove in and rescued four people and he deserves to be recognised for his actions.”

Stott said he hoped sharing the experience would encourage others to stay safe around water.

“Just don’t go in if you’re not experienced in the water, and if you are going on any type of craft then always wear a life jacket.”

Water Safety NZ Interventions lead Esther Hone said while Stott undoubtedly saved lives, not every rescue attempt was successful.

“The instinct to save others is a natural human instinct, however around water it can be very dangerous. Every year we lose New Zealanders who drown attempting to rescue others.”

Hato Hone St John encouraged people to call 111 immediately in water-related emergencies, and urged people to learn first aid and CPR.
