New child restraint laws

From 1 November the mandatory use of child restraints in vehicles will be extended by two years, with all children

required to be correctly secured in an approved restraint until their seventh birthday.

NZTA Road Safety Director Ernst Zollner said the rule change would bring New Zealand into line with the

requirements of Australia, and was an important step forward in improving the safety of children on New Zealand

roads.

"Children are especially vulnerable to injury in crashes, and th

vehicles are designed to protect an average sized adult. Because children are smaller and have different body

shapes, they need more protection to keep them safe in a car. These changes will make travel s

Zealand children and they will help to reduce tragic and preventable deaths and serious injuries among our

youngest road users."

NZ Post to trial fingerprinting process for employment/immigration Wednesday, 30 October 2013 - 8:20am. National News

http://www.police.govt.nz/news/release/nz-post-trial-fingerprinting-process-employmentimmigration

NZ Post will undertake a three month trial in the Auckland area commencing on 31 October 2013 offering

fingerprinting for employment, immigration and other purposes, a service previously provided by New Zealand

Police.

National Manager, Forensic Services Inspector John Walker says currently 10,500 hours of staff time nationally

per annum are spent by Police in providing this service.

"Whilst the current service is time consuming, fully manual, and involves inking applicants' hands, NZ Post will

provide a cleaner, faster electronic capture and copy system,” Mr Walker said.

Currently, the three month trial is limited to the Auckland area, with the participating PostShops being

Wellesley Street (Auckland City), North Harbour, and Manukau. From 31 October Police will not be providing

this fingerprinting service in the Auckland area. Applicants will need to go to one of the PostShops mentioned

rather than to a police station to obtain the fingerprinting service. There will be a charge for this service.

Outside of the Auckland area, this fingerprinting service will still be available from Police Stations as usual until

further notice.

EXCEPTION

South African Nationals - Until further notice the South African High Commission has requested that Police

advise all South African nationals requiring their fingerprints taken to contact the South African High

Commission in Wellington.
