Warning: This story deals with child drownings and may be upsetting to some people. The drownings of eight children aged under six in one summer have prompted an investigation by the coroner who says adults must more closely supervise young children near the water. The children, who ranged in age from nine months to five years, died in rivers, private paddling and above ground pools, a public pool, a lake and at a beach during the summer of 2021-2022.

Former Hamilton councillor Mark Donovan, who quit last month after taking on a full-time job late last year, said he was never a controversial character. "Like I say, I'm the most vanilla councillor out there. I'm not controversial."Donovan resigned on 5 March, effective immediately, after taking on the role of national sales manager for packaging firm Tetra Pak in October. At the time, Donovan told RNZ that the new role would not affect his ability to be a councillor.
