Auckland Airport says it's gaining momentum.

It's reported a four percent increase in revenue in its half-yearly results. 

The airport says that lift in revenue is being driven by a two percent increase in passenger numbers to 9.6 million.

Chief Executive Carrie Hurihanganui says there's still more work to do - since numbers still haven't caught up to pre-pandemic levels.

The popular Piha campground has been closed down by Auckland Council, with no indication of when it will reopen ahead of the summer season.

The campground has been popular with Kiwi travellers for over 26 years, and it's unclear if it will be up and running in time for Labour weekend.

Waitākere Ranges Local Board chair Mark Allen says they received new information about possible flooding risks, and extra work had to be undertaken.

"We decided we needed to do some work on it, just to make sure everything was good... the position is, we want it to reopen it for the summer, while we do further work."

New data shows one in seven Kiwi men aren't wearing seatbelts - and a new campaign has been launched to bring down the risks of injury or death.

NZTA is partnering with four provincial rugby teams to encourage young men to buckle up and stay safe.

Northern Rescue COO Karl Taylor says too many younger men between 18-40 think they're 'bulletproof' and that's a factor behind these stats.

"We need to get the message out there, and we just need to keep sounding that message out there and keep beating the drum."

A law expert says the Family Court's dismissed warnings before, like those raised about the Marokopa children. 

An inquiry's laid bare failures by police and Oranga Tamariki before and during the four-year search for fugitive Tom Phillips and his children.

Their mother repeatedly expressed fears before Phillips went on the run with them a second time, but Oranga Tamariki assured the Court, they were fine in his care. 

Auckland University associate professor Carrie Leonetti says such failures are well established.

She explained almost nothing stops fathers getting extensive, unsupervised access to their children - even mental health conditions, substance abuse and a history of violence.
