Poll: Do you use Manage My Health?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Victims of the Manage My Health hack were notified at just after 7pm on Thursday night of exactly what elements of their health data had been stolen, nine days after the hack happened.

Manage My Health holds data on about 1.8 million Kiwis, and has been in crisis since December 30, with hackers demanding a ransom of more than $100,000 for more than 400,000 health files belonging to about 127,000 people.

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
