The CTU has launched a campaign to ban the import, supply and use of engineered stone in an effort to save workers' lives. Last-ditch mediation between Health NZ and the senior doctors' union has failed to avert an unprecedented 24-hour strike. Finance Minister Nicola Willis announced the government is halving its operating allowance. Tory Whanau has pulled out of the Wellington mayoral race, saying the entrance of Labour-endorsed Andrew Little has "changed the game".
