It's been revealed the documentary on the disappearance of Tom Phillips will screen on Netflix.

He and his children were missing for four years when the saga ended with a shootout in September - killing the fugitive. 

Dame Julie Christie is creating a documentary on the case with the help of the police, and has been granted exclusive access.  

NZME editor-at-large Shayne Currie says the final product could just be a piece of police PR. 

"There are these clauses within there that do allow police (A) to have viewing and vetting rights and (B) by the sounds of it, to have the ultimate call on whether it even screens certain contact."

Between phones, smartwatches and new apps, it's fairly easy for people to stay in contact and keep an eye on where they are.

Some couples and families use location sharing to enforce trust and keep each other safe, but concerns have been raised as to when it crosses the line.

Psychologist Sara Chatwin says it's important to discuss parameters and boundaries when it comes to location sharing. 

"There are many reasons why location sharing can be a really good thing...I just think at the extreme end of the continuum, you have people that perhaps, by location sharing, feel like they're being coerced by their partner."

The High Court's ruled the Crown breached its promise to ensure self-employed midwives are paid fairly and reasonably. 

After 18 months of waiting, the decision's been published.

Justice Cheryl Gwyn also says the Crown unlawfully discriminated against the midwives on the basis of sex - and breached their human rights.

NZ College of Midwives chief executive Alison Eddy says workers weren't being paid based on reasonable comparators.

"And the fact that they're self-employed and had to carry the costs of that and providing a 24/7 service, 365 days a year."

The Government says it will appeal the decision.
