Can you help us with our investigations?
Police would like to hear from anybody who may have seen, heard or have any information on the Christchurch attacks of 15 March.
People with information that can help the investigation can now use a dedicated form on the NZ Police website here
This form can be used to submit information, photos and/or documents. You can also use the form to tell us if you have video footage, which can be submitted separately.
People are advised that this is not an emergency channel and that if they see anything suspicious or need urgent help they should ring 111.

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
