This sermon was given at our Unichurch service on 5 October 2025. A technical error meant that the morning sermon was not recorded, unfortunately.

In Leaders Getting Coffee episode 49, our guest is Sky Television’s sports commentator Tony Johnson. As you might imagine, we’re talking sport, but we’re also chatting about the country’s highways, the Sounds murders and Prostate Cancer. Like many young sports mad kids of his time, Tony Johnson lay awake in the wee small hours, listening under the bed covers to radio commentaries of the All Blacks playing on the other side of the world. There, to the tones of commentator Bob Irvine, a love of radio was born. He grew up in the idyllic surroundings of the Marlborough Sounds, and as his father drove his delivery vessel around the famous waterways, those peninsulas and islands became his playground. A Radio New Zealand cadet programme launched the young Johnson in an industry that would see him become a household name. He talks of lucky breaks leading to opportunities, but one gets the impression that his modesty is underplaying the impact he was making, even at a young age. After four years overseas working as a news and sports journalist for Radio New Zealand, he returned home to stints as a sports presenter with the Paul Holmes breakfast on Newstalk ZB, and as TV3’s sports anchor, before his dream job came along. And so, twenty five years ago he joined Sky TV’s commentary team. As you might expect, this is a high energy and fun discussion about sport. Of course there are the All Blacks, who Johnson has toured with 25 times, but we also share a bird’s eye view of the America’s Cup, Wimbledon and his numerous appearances at the Olympic Games. Like all good media people, Tony Johnson is a storyteller. He talks fondly of memories of his late father and the special affection he has for the rebuilt Kaikoura highway on State Highway 1. There’s even a unique interchange with America’s Cup legend Dennis Conner that most of us won’t have known about. And then there was the afternoon out boating in the Marlborough Sounds with friends on New Years Eve in 1997, a day which culminated in a few hours at the famed Furneaux Lodge, on the same evening that Ben Smart and Olivia Hope disappeared, in what has become one of the country’s most intriguing murder cases. On the Leaders Getting Coffee podcast Tony Johnson shares with Bruce Cotterill that his career hasn’t all been plain sailing and he is refreshingly open about his health challenges, He’s had mobility issues since his late twenties, the result of a neurological condition. And a prostate cancer diagnosis seven years ago has led to him using his profile as an ambassador of Blue September. And the message could not be made more clear.

Due to a technical error, the sermon delivered by Evan McFarlane at St Matthew's 9am was not recorded. This sermon was delivered at St Matthew's Unichurch service on the same day and the same passage, by Ben Smart.

On New Year's Eve 1997, 17-year-old Olivia Hope and her close friend Ben Smart vanished after a party at the remote Furneaux Lodge in New Zealand's stunning Marlborough Sounds. They were last seen boarding a water taxi in the early hours of the morning with a man who's never been conclusively identified. What followed was one of New Zealand's most high-profile investigations, leading to the arrest and conviction of Scott Watson — a man who still claims he's innocent. But the deeper you look into this case, the murkier it gets. With wildly conflicting witness statements, contaminated evidence, an allegedly unreliable memory, and new information buried for decades, this case has everything: mystery, obsession, media bias, and a whole lot of reasonable doubt ... or is there? Today, Kristin dives deep into the 40,000-page police file and multiple sources on both sides of this controversial case to try and answer one big question: Did Scott Watson really kill Ben and Olivia… or was he wrongfully convicted?

Llegando a barrer de tarde y ya casi en fechas de San Valentin, llega la 3a cápsula de la serie de "Crímenes en Navidad" en este caso, les platicaré sobre una misteriosa desaparición de 2 chicos de Nueva Zelanda cuyos restos nunca fueron recuperados y cuyo caso se volvió uno de los misterios más mediáticos y controversiales del país de los maories. Acompáñenme a escuchar sobre este misterio que a la fecha sigue sin tener respuesta y cuyo principal responsable, posiblemente no haya tenido nada más que ver, que el hecho de pasar por ahí cuando todo ocurrió.

While The Front Page is on summer break, we’re taking a look back at some of the biggest news stories and top-rated episodes from the podcast in 2024. The disappearances of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope on New Year’s Day 1998 remain one of New Zealand’s infamous cases. Scott Watson has spent the last 25 years behind bars after being convicted of murdering them, despite no bodies ever being found. In June, Watson headed back to the courtroom four years after his case was referred to the Court of Appeal – it's his last shot at clearing his name. There’s still no word yet on the result of his latest appeal. We spoke with NZ Herald senior journalist Carolyne Meng Yee and editorial leader Oskar Alley – who took us back to 1999 when they both covered Watson’s infamous first trial, and ran through the evidence making up this appeal with senior reporter David Fisher. New episodes return January 13th. Host: Chelsea Daniels Audio Engineers: Paddy Fox, Richard Martin Executive Producer: Ethan Sills See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cynric Temple-Camp is one of New Zealand's top pathologists - and he has just published his third book about his work. The Final Diagnosis is a collection of stranger-than-fiction stories of death, disease and murder - as well as Temple-Camp sharing new perspectives on high-profile cases, including the disappearance of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope and the trial of Mark Lundy. A Moment In Crime host Anna Leask spoke with Temple-Camp about the book, his career and why he is sure beyond reasonable doubt that Lundy is guilty.  Episodes of A Moment In Crime - written and hosted by Leask - usually focus on old cases, cold cases or recent cases of national and international significance involving Kiwi offenders or victims. But this episode comes from the other side of the cordon - from a person often charged with determining how and why a person died and, who is responsible. To read more about Temple-Camp, the Lundy case and other crimes covered by Leask for the Herald, click here. Episodes of A Moment In Crime are usually released monthly and, so far, Leask has covered more than 55 cases including the murders of Grace Millane, Scott Guy, Austin Hemmings, Carmen Thomas, Karen Aim; the deaths of the Kahui Twins, the Edgeware Rd murders, the Bain family murders, the Christchurch House of Horrors and the massacres at Raurimu and Aramoana. Last year, a three-part special covered the case of rich lister and philanthropist James Wallace who was convicted of sexually assaulting three men and was jailed and had his knighthood stripped from him as a result. A Moment In Crime has topped the overall and true crime charts on numerous occasions, and has listeners in more than 80 countries. The podcast was a finalist at the 2024 NZ Radio & Podcast Awards and won a silver award in the true crime category at the inaugural New Zealand Podcast Awards in 2021.

The Spoiled Heart by Sunjeev Sahota: Nayan Olak is a union man through and through, who feels his time has come to take on the leadership of Britain's largest union and is almost guaranteed the job. He's never recovered from losing his mother and son in a house fire 20 years ago, but a relationship with Helen, a mysterious woman who's returned to his town with her teenage son after many years away, offers some kind of a future. Nayan though is a man on the edge of a precipice, and he's about to be blindsided. The author also wrote the wonderful China Room which was longlisted for the Booker Prize. The Final Diagnosis by Cynric Temple Camp: He's a forensic pathologist and the author of two previous books both of which were bestsellers. He says that the 'if' of death is certain. The 'when' is unknown. It's the 'why' that really gets people's interest and these are more strange-but-true stories of death, disease and murder, as well as new perspectives on high-profile cases, including the disappearance of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope, the trial of Mark Lundy, and the ill-fated journey of Ansett New Zealand Flight 703.

Of more 1500 people celebrating the New Year at Furneaux Lodge at the start of 1998, only Scott Watson had the propensity, motive and opportunity to kill Ben Smart and Olivia Hope according to the Crown at the Court of Appeal, Ruth Hill reports.

A detective told a key witness in the Scott Watson case he was "lying" when he initially said Watson wasn't the man he had seen on the night Ben Smart and Olivia Hope were murdered, Ruth Hill was in court for day 4 of the Court of Appeal hearing.

Today is the last day of the appeal hearing for Watson, who is trying to overturn his convictions for the murders of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope on New Year's Day 1998. Reporter Ruth Hill spoke to Corin Dann.

Just how reliable is the evidence of those two blonde hairs purportedly found on Scott Watson's boat? That's the big question for the Court of Appeal this week. It's day three of the hearing, which is Scott Watson's 4th attempt to overturn his convictions for the murders of Olivia Hope and Ben Smart in the Marlbrough Sounds in 1998.

We're only just a couple of weeks in, but this year's season of winter ills seems to have hit us full on. We talk to the Medical Director of New Zealand's Royal College of GPs, Dr Luke Bradford . The appeal by Scott Watson against his conviction for the Sounds killing of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope is coming to an end. We look back over what's happened in the past week. Later today, the second part of season three of Bridgerton drops. Why has is it so seriously popular? We chat with Lorna Piatti-Farnell, a professor in pop culture at the Auckland University of Technology.

Two blonde hairs linked to murder victim Olivia Hope have been the focus of Scott Watson's appeal in court today. Watson is attempting to overturn his convictions for the murders of Ms Hope, who was 17 and Ben Smart, 21 after a New Year's Eve party in the Marlborough Sounds in 1998. Ruth Hill reports.

Scott Watson's face "plastered" across TV screens months before his arrest for the murders of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope could have influenced eye witnesses, the Court of Appeal was told today, Ruth Hill reports.

A new report into witness reliability in Scott Watson's second attempt before the Court of Appeal has been challenged by the Crown. Watson was found guilty of murdering friends Ben Smart and Olivia Hope in 1999. The pair were last seen getting off a water taxi onto a yacht in the Marlborough Sounds on New Year's Eve. Open Justice reporter Catherine Hutton says the report presented as evidence by the defence today argues many witness accounts were unreliable in his trial. Meanwhile the Crown responded, saying there were many holes in the contents of the report. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Double murderer Scott Watson - who's spent a quarter of a century in prison for the murders of young Blenheim friends Ben Smart and Olivia Hope - will have his case heard again today Monday by the Court of Appeal. Ruth Hill spoke to Charlotte Cook.

On today's episode, the Government says its reversal of the oil and gas exploration ban is a necessary move in the country's transition to clean energy, we hear from Resources Minister Shane Jones and Greens co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick, in the just released NBR's annual Rich List, the Mowbray family have overtaken Graeme Hart to become the country's wealthiest person or family, double murderer Scott Watson - who's spent a quarter of a century in prison for the murders of young Blenheim friends Ben Smart and Olivia Hope - will have his case heard again today Monday by the Court of Appeal and we cross the Tasman to get the latest from Kerry-Anne Walsh.

He's already served 25 years for murdering Olivia Hope and Ben Smart in the Marlborough Sounds; today, the Court of Appeal will begin hearing Scott Watson's latest bid to prove his innocence. Mike White, who's investigated the case since the start, explains how Watson hopes to overturn his conviction. Plus: Why loan sharks seem dead in the water, the next play for streaming giants and the mayor literally caught with his pants down.

The 1998 deaths of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope remain one of New Zealand's most talked about cases. Scott Watson has spent the last 25 years behind bars after being convicted of murdering them, despite no bodies ever being found. Now, Watson is heading back to the courtroom four years after his case was referred back to the Court of Appeal, in what is his last shot at clearing his name. Today on The Front Page, we're going back to 1999 with NZ Herald senior journalist Carolyne Meng Yee and editorial leader Oskar Alley who covered Watson's first trial, and then get a rundown on the appeal case with investigative reporter David Fisher.  For more on the Scott Watson case, listen to Chasing Ghosts: Murder in the Sounds wherever you get your podcast.  And for more on Scott Watson's trial, click here: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/double-murderer-scott-watson-to-stay-behind-bars-as-parole-board-seek-clarity-over-differing-psychological-reports/QXMO2GJ32JFRRMHF36Y77B3PS4/  A previous version of this episode didn't include the fact hairs were found on a blanket on the Blade and two of those hairs on the blanket were found to have DNA characteristics that matched Olivia.

Episode 252: Heavy-Duty Aftermarket Week in Grapevine, Texas is the time and place where Manufacturers and Distributors come together to find ways of supporting the independent service channel and the trucking industry. This year I got to sit down with some of the best in the business to talk about how advances in technology and new regulations impact the heavy-duty parts and service industry.  One subject that came up several times was the recent announcement from the EPA about the new targets to further lower emissions on diesel engines manufactured in 2027 and beyond. As with previous EPA regulations, this is going to impact the design and performance of the engines and historically these changes have added complexity that drive up fleets total cost of operation. It has also created challenges for the independent parts and service channel.   Show Notes: Visit HeavyDutyPartsReport.com for complete show notes of this episode and to subscribe to all our content.

Andi continues the tale of Olivia Hope and Ben Smart. Andi takes Ayla on a two-parter, covering the disappearances of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope. The two friends were celebrating the New Year of 1998 at Furneaux Lodge in Marlborough Sounds, and went back to their yacht in the early morning. With no place onboard to sleep, they were picked up again around 3.30am where they were offered a place by a stranger. They were dropped with the stranger between 4 and 5am, and have not been seen since. A boat was seized shortly after that found hairs on board matching Olivia. Scott Watson was found to be the stranger and was sentenced to life imprisonment. This is despite there being no evidence for the two-trip theory, which meant Scott had to leave his yacht and come back to shore before hopping on the water taxi with Ben and Olivia. It has led many to think this was a case of wrongful imprisonment.

Todays we present two insane crimes that happened decades ago, however recent developments within them have brought them back into the news. The first one, while despite being considered solved, remains highly disputed and thus it is considered the most controversial case in New Zealand. The second story just recently got the development that everyone was hoping for, and the cold case of Joy Hibbs may finally have been solved.--------------------------------------------

It's New Year's Eve, 1997, and 17-year-old Olivia Hope is getting ready for a party at Furneaux Lodge, a beautiful old residence that sits at the head of one of the bays and coves that make up The Marlborough Sounds. A picturesque holiday spot on the northern end of New Zealand's south island where the bush meets the sea. The lodge is only accessible by boat, so Olivia, her older sister, and their friends have booked a chartered yacht called Tamarack that will deliver them to the celebrations after an afternoon basking in the sun. Furneaux is the place to be on New Years and the local teenagers are getting ready to dance away the night with 15-hundred other partygoers. Over in Punga Cove, just across the inlet, Ben Smart is partying the afternoon away with mates. He too has plans to join the fun at Furno and hitches a ride over on a boat as the party gets started. But what happens to Ben and Olivia after the clock strikes midnight, will become one of the most high-profile and hotly contested murder investigations New Zealand has ever seen.

Despite our current world situation, many people are planning for pretty epic New Year's events this coming weekend, and to celebrate in our own way, we decided to cover people who were murdered while at parties. And wow, this topic is vast, with so many different types of parties to choose from - boat parties, New Year's parties, even meth fueled parties (the worst kind, we think)! But who can really rank how terrible each party is if they all end in murder? We certainly try!

This episode covers the disappearance of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope on News Year's Day 1998 in New Zealand

It was New Year's Eve 1997 in the Marlborough Sounds of New Zealand when 17-year-old Olivia Hope and 21-year-old Ben Smart enjoyed a long night of partying. When friends couldn't locate the pair the following day, they assumed the two may have gone off on their own. But after days without contact, it became evident that something was very wrong.
