  • Children still missing after Tom Phillips shot dead
    Confronting and devastating - that is the reaction to a shootout early this morning which has left a police officer critically injured and missing man, Tom Phillips, dead. Phillips has been on the run in remote parts of the King Country since December 2021, after taking his three children from Marokopa. One of the children is now with police, but the hunt continues for the other children who police believe are by themselves in the bush. Libby Kirkby-McLeod reports.

The Asssociation of Salaried Medical Specialists declined the request and accused the minister of interfering in the collective bargaining process. ASMS's Sarah Dalton spoke to Lisa Owen.
