It's more missed classes on the timetable for secondary students, as teachers walk off the job again after overwhelmingly rejecting their latest pay offer. Members of the Post Primary Teachers Association voted against the offer of three pay rises over two years plus a $4500 payment. The offer is almost identical to one accepted this week by primary teachers. The rejection means from Monday industrial action will ramp up at high schools. PPTA members will refuse to teach two year levels per day, except on Fridays, for the remaining three weeks of the school term. We asked parents what they thought about it. PPTA Te Wehengarua acting president Chris Abercrombie spoke to Lisa Owen.

More than 30 cabins owned the Queenstown council are sitting empty despite the region facing a rental housing crisis.

A proposed jump in Airport fees could make flying unaffordable for a significant number travellers according to Air NZ boss, Greg Foran.

Auckland Airport will start rolling out the graduated increases in landing charges from July, to help fund the its mult-billion dollar renovation plans; including integrating the domestic and international terminals, a new baggage system and airfield expansion.

Over five years, domestic jet charges will increase 130 percent to $15.45 per pasener by 2027.

International fees will nearly double to just over $46 per passenger, and domestic regional charges will increase 141 percent to $10.70.

The state carrier and Qantas are the airport's largest customer and both object to the size of the increase.

Air NZ chief executive Greg Foran says in the end customers will pay.

The Auckland Mayor's been forced to make an 11th hour peace offering after facing stiff resistance to his plan to sell the council's stake in Auckland Airport.

The council has been locked in debate as it chews over its crucial and contentious annual budget - and will return in the morning to continue.

Wayne Brown promised he'd ditch cuts to services if councillors backed his plan to sell the 18 percent of airport shares the council owns.

But as he sounded them out one by one, it became clear he didn't have the numbers to pass it. So then came the watered down proposal - selling just 8 percent of shares, increasing rates 7.7 percent on average, bringing back some cuts to local boards, and tasking the CEO to find some more.

Now he hopes that will be enough to get councillors on side. Finn Blackwell reports.
