Have you caught up with the latest on the missing Marokopa dad?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Police believe Tom Phillips was one of the people who robbed a Te Kūiti bank in May.

Phillips has been missing -bar a few sightings - since he fled into the bush with his three children in January 2022. The family had previously been at the centre of a mass search.

A warrant is out for Phillips' arrest on the bank robbery charges.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

Poll: Do you know someone affected by this?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Family members caring for loved ones with dementia are having to book up to a year in advance for a day off as a crisis hits respite care availability across the Waikato.

Carers with no options to take a break are left facing a breakdown themselves, says one advocate.
