An Antarctic blast is sweeping the nation on Tuesday, bringing icy temperatures, blankets of snow and significant swells to the North Island.
High winds and thick swathes of snow have resulted in multiple flight cancellations and widespread road closures in the South Island, but the north is also bearing the brunt of the polar blast. The capital was hammered by hail earlier this morning, with heavy snow carpeting several areas in the north, including the rural community of Taihape, certain parts of Taranaki and the Wellington region.

A man claiming to be a former employee of Noel Leeming is speaking out over what he claims are unethical sales practices at the retail chain.
He alleges salespeople are being sneaky about selling extended warranties on goods purchased by its customers.
Customers who want to cancel an extended warranty sold as part of a discounted "package deal" could potentially run into issues with salespeople if they try to get it refunded, he says.

OPINION: Jacinda Ardern is wrong about her own hate speech law. Completely and utterly wrong.
Not only is the Prime Minister wrong about the basic facts of the proposal, she was wrong to shut down debate on hate speech on The AM Show this morning with her glib, inaccurate dismissals.
