The music lesson that ended a teacher’s career

A campervan booking and return flights made it look like an ordinary New Zealand holiday. But hidden in a visitor’s suitcase lining was around $619,000 worth of cocaine — and Customs stopped him before he left the airport.

On Case by Case, Jane Yee speaks with Open Justice reporter Ric Stevens about the smuggling attempt that led to a four-year, two-month prison sentence. They also explore New Zealand’s growing cocaine market, the links between overseas cartels and local organised crime, and the harm behind the drug’s party reputation.

A woman was found with maggots in a wound and another's breast cancer went undiagnosed until it was too late. These are just two of four complaints made against a Dannevirke rest home in a major Health and Disability Commissioner investigation.

In this episode of Case by Case, Jane Yee speaks with Open Justice reporter Brianna McIlraith about the failures uncovered at the facility, the recommendations that followed, and what happened after the rest home changed hands.

They also take a closer look at the Health and Disability Commissioner: what it does, who can make a complaint, and what happens when healthcare providers fall short of the standards patients are entitled to.

Maggots and missed cancer revealed in damning rest home investigation

Former Dilworth School teacher and housemaster Ian Wilson has been released from prison after serving his full sentence for sexually abusing former students.

Wilson was denied parole seven times, with the Parole Board repeatedly finding he continued to pose an undue risk to the community. But reaching his statutory release date means he must now be freed.

Open Justice reporter Tara Shaskey joins Jane Yee to examine Wilson’s offending, the survivor who attended every parole hearing to oppose his release, and why that exhausting process became a source of both trauma and vindication.

They also explain how New Zealand’s parole system works, what constitutes an “undue risk”, how victims can participate and why being eligible for parole does not mean a prisoner will receive it.
