A 67-year-old South Canterbury man made a formal complaint to the Royal New Zealand Navy about abuse he alleges he suffered while serving as a teenager, but a meeting with representatives has not resolved anything, he says.

The Government has quietly made it more difficult to get a mask exemption card, with Kiwis now required to apply through a disability organisation amid concerns they were being misused.

Under all COVID-19 alert levels, masks are required to be worn in certain settings. But there are exceptions - children under the age of 12 don't have to wear a mask, nor those with illnesses, conditions or disabilities that make the wearing of one unsuitable.
