Several former Gloriavale workers are planning to sue the Crown for negligence.

Members of the group have accused public servants of knowing about the slave labour within the community - and refusing to do anything about it.

Lawyer Brian Henry says these public servants knew about the witnesses who were interviewed and the allegations.

"You just don't go to the potential criminal and say - did you steal that? And if he says no, he'll walk away. You actually go evaluate the evidence and look around further."

Iran has targeting energy facilities across the Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar in response to an Israeli attack on Iran's South Pars gas field - the largest natural gas field in the world. 

It is believed that 17% of Qatar's export capacity has now been wiped out, and could take up to five years to repair.

Qatar-based journalist Courtney Hammond said the attack in Qatar "marks a huge escalation in this war."

She told Andrew Dickens that there are concerns of retaliation from the targeted states as energy facilities are a strong-hold of the Gulf countries' economies.
