Good afternoon. I'm Malcolm Jordan and this is your midday
news fix for Monday, the fifteenth of September. The country's
chief nurse is assuring people that including Farno in hospital
patient care is normal practice. Health New Zealand's expanding family
visiting ours to twenty four to seven. The Nurses Union
is concerned it's in response to staff shortages, but National
(00:26):
Chief Nurse Nadine Gray told news talks ATB's Carey Wooden Mornings,
this policy responds and guides the principles in the Healthy
Futures Act and TA thirty or White Tonguey.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
This is not unusual to have Farno supporting. This is
about a nominated partner, perhaps a parent of a child,
the family or friend, so it's not like it's a
big group of people.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
There's concerns Tom Phillips's children could be used as pawns
to catch those who may have assisted him. Phillip's nearly
four years on the run with his three children ended
after he was fatally shot by police after he fired
at an officer. Auckland University Professor of Law Mark Hennigan
says he's worried the children would feel responsible for identifying
(01:09):
anyone who helped keep them hidden.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
That's not their responsibility. I mean they've been through all
the trauma.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
We have to remember that when he went into the
bush the second time Vilil was done, we took months
for anyone to do anything. Some secondary school teachers are
on strike today after rejecting their latest settlement offer. Union
members won't teach years twelve and thirteen today, year eleven tomorrow,
year ten on Wednesday and year nine Thursday. The Public
(01:34):
Service Commissioner believes they're choosing strikes over students. PPTA President
Chris Abercrombie says no one wants to engage in industrial action,
but it's a last resource.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Now we're really hopeful we won't have to carry it on,
but we have appeared to help get the government to
shift the need on this, to make the political decision
to support education here and out to our in New
Zealand by supporting the teachers, the ones that.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Are doing the may. An inmate has died at Hawkesbay
Regional Prison after being found in their cell by staff.
Police say they were alerted yesterday afternoon that a man
had died at the prison following an incident the Department
of Corrections says the prisoner was in their cell at
the time and while staff made every effort to save him,
he was unable to be revived. They're treating the death
(02:14):
as unexplained and police are investigating how a man became
seriously hurt with unexplained injuries in Queenstown last night. He
was found at the intersection of Moake Lake Road and
Glenorchy Queenstown Road about six pm. Discussions around sending more
Kiwi police to the Pacific Prime Minister Chris Luckson says
(02:36):
the international drug trade is of concern across all Pacific nations,
claiming it flows on to New Zealand's drug market. Luxon
says discussions around a Pacific policing initiative are ongoing. He
told Mike Hosking concerns about methamphetamine were a big part
of talks at last week's Pacific Islands Forum.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
You think about tom Osama, Fiji, Australian New Zealand being
really impacted by global meth trade, particularly with ME cartels,
those the kind of conversations we got into.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Thousands have descended on Wellington's waterfront this morning to mark
fifty years since the Maori language petition was presented to
Parliament to sport fin Allen Devon, Conway lockey Ferguson, Tim
Seifert and Kane Williamson have agreed terms to play on
New Zealand Cricket International casual playing contracts. This season, two
French players have been cited, one for an alleged bite
(03:26):
during their Rugby World Cup quarterfinal win over Ireland. Bragging
rights for the Blue half of Manchester City have beaten
United three mil in their Premier League Football derby and
golfer Dame Lydia Coe has finished tied for fourteenth in
the defense of her LPGA tournament title in Ohio. I'm
Malcolm Jordan. That's your latest news fix. We'll be back
