Police officer knocked detainee unconscious with excessive force
A man was knocked out by a custody officer after he was flung against a wall at the Counties Manukau District Custody Unit in April 2017.

The custody officer remains in the police force and will undergo an employment investigation.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
