Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good afternoon. I'm Rayleen Ramsey. This is your afternoon news
fixed for Thursday, the thirty first of October. Cruz not
knowing how to turn off ar Teddy's auto pilot is
to blame for the Fairies grounding. In June, the Transport
Accident Investigation Commissions published initial findings on the inter island
of fairies beaching off Picton. It's confirmed earlier reports a
(00:27):
steering issue was to blame. Investigator naven A Kazu Pakalam
says turning off auto pilot required pressing a button for
five seconds. All we have established is that they did
not know that they had to haul the button down,
nor were they are aware that they did not know.
Associate Health Minister Casey Costello says the Health Ministry dropped
(00:48):
the ball by not informing her about a conflict. Here's
political reporter to Melsa Jackson.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
The Ministry has apologized for not passing on the message
as staffer related to Labour's Aisha Verral was working on
smoking reforms. Costello says she doesn't feel the ministries served
the program of work well. She says there have been
issues from the start, with documents leaked to the media
and out of wack advice based on old data.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Our newsrooms approached the Ministry for comment. A person's died
after fleeing police and crashing into another vehicle in the
route DU's Ufater. Police say a vehicle of interest took
off after being signaled to stop on Hopapa Street, but
after a brief chase, it crashed on Vaughan Road. The
driver died at the scene and the passenger received minor injuries.
(01:34):
Two people in the other vehicles suffered moderate injuries. Meanwhile,
the police watchdogs found an Auckland officer who fired at
an armed man in a fleeing car in twenty twenty
one was in the wrong. Police confronted the man at
Alleslie after a motorway pursuit. The ipca's found even though
the passenger took aim at the officer, he shouldn't have
(01:56):
fired given the risk of hitting the driver and civilians.
It's found officers were justified in later shooting the offender
when he aimed at them In Hillsborough. Believes say the
officer only had seconds to decide. Thankfully no one else
was hurt. Labor MP Ginny Anderson says re sharing an
explicit joke about King Charles on her personal social media
(02:20):
was inexcusable. The former police minister is again apologizing for
posting it on her Instagram account, but says she's not
been told off by her party. The meme showed a
photo of our Prime Minister and the King in Samoa
and compared a fold in the King's trousers to female anatomy.
Anderson says it was bad behavior.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I didn't comment. I shed something else that someone else
had seed, but commenting on appearance as not the appropriate
things for EMPs to be doing.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
The government's looking into changing court room rules to let
people attend via zoom. Courts Minister Nicole McKee says regulations
around remote technology were put in place fourteen years ago,
it haven't changed since. Political editor Jason Walls has more Key.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Says she wants a modern fit for purpose law that
enables increased remote participation, which will promote efficiencies in court.
Remote access, she says, will reduce the costs and time
required to come to court in person and would benefit
people with a disability or those who live rually to sport.
