The building closed in February after a report found the connection between the original courthouse and an extension added in 2007 was a safety concern, and may be as low as 15 percent of the national building standard.

An independent legal charity is taking court action over what it says is the government's failure to protect the country's rarest dolphins. Environmental Law Initiative has filed for a High Court judicial review over the Hector's and Māui dolphin threat management plan, saying it fails to protect the critically endangered dolphins from being killed by the fishing industry. It said the government needed to be doing more to prevent them from becoming extinct.

We may have been without sun for a week, but many in Te Tauihu are still being paid less than what they would be for the same job, elsewhere. I spoke to some of those surviving on the lowest average wages in the country, to hear what their lives are like. https://t.co/Qg8vimfiS7

I took @SBrettkelly on a tour around Nelson for @TheDetailNZ looking at some of the worst damaged parts of the region, three months after severe weather caused widespread damage to roads, homes and infrastructure
