Dom Kalasih: Transporting New Zealand interim chief executive on the Government's bid to increase diesel reserves

It's been suggested that the New Zealand Special Air Service (NZSAS) could be the ones to find Tom Phillips and his three children in Marokopa - but one expert has voiced disapproval about the optics.

The four were recently filmed walking through the bush by pig hunters - the first sighting of them together since December 2021.

Barrister and military lawyer Grant Fletcher says within the Commonwealth legal system, there are tight restrictions on when armed forces can be used to help the Government internally.

"Obviously, there is a slightly murky area between what is a public service and what is a law enforcement role - and I think what's going to affect the decision makers in relation to this is that this is really stepping into a law enforcement role. Which is not the job of the military."

Chris Hipkins is adamant he's staying on as Labour's leader - and he'd put money on leading the party to victory in 2026.

A new poll says 75 percent of voters want Hipkins to stay on and lead Labour - despite the recent 1News-Verian poll showing Hipkins is down three points to 15 percent in the preferred Prime Minister stakes.

In an earlier interview, Hipkins told ZB's Nick Mills that he's absolutely put money on himself winning the next election - but senior political correspondent Barry Soper isn't convinced.
