Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Central Hamilton businesses are welcoming police being given new powers to move on vagrants, with a city retail advocate saying the previous hands-off approach wasn’t working.

On Sunday the Government announced it would grant police powers to order any individual rough sleeping, begging, or displaying disorderly behaviour to move on.

What do you think of the new police move-on powers? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Chiefs resist rushing Damian McKenzie back for Super Rugby Pacific final

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The Chiefs are keeping Damian McKenzie on ice, with coach Jono Gibbes resisting the temptation to throw his star playmaker straight back into the fray against the Crusaders in Hamilton on Saturday night.
