Twizel's water treatment plant shutdown on Tuesday, leaving many residents without water (file image).

Town left high and dry by water plant failure

Twizel’s water supply was cut off on Tuesday after a sudden shut-down of the treatment plant, leaving many residents without running water.

New Zealand Media and Entertainment (NZME) announced its new Early Edition host today.

Two new 'issues' found at NZME as workplace probe details released

An internal email sent to staff – signed by board chair Steven Joyce and chief executive Michael Boggs – outlined NZME's response and review "key findings".

Dame Julie Christie was chief executive of the documentary production company that got extended exclusive access to the case.

Chambers told Phillips docomaker 'love to catch up' before starting job

Police have just released two pages of emails between Richard Chambers and producer Karen Rutherford.

More than 148,000 colonies took part in the study.

Almost 13% of country's bee colonies were wiped out last winter

Majority of the losses were put down to the varroa mite — an external parasite that can weaken or even destroy entire colonies.
