National party leader Christopher Luxon was forced to move his media stand-up on Monday after it was hijacked by a heckler. Luxon was in Pakuranga with local MP Simeon Brown when he was interrupted by Vision New Zealand candidate Karl Mokaraka. Mokaraka accused him of not visiting Otara - a south Auckland suburb that forms part of his Botany electorate- something Luxon denied. So what do people in the Botany electorate think? How often do they see not only Luxon but any of their local candidates? First Up's Leonard Powell went to find out.

The price of petrol and diesel's about to go up, as the government's 25 cent cut to the fuel excise duty comes to an end. From the first of July the excise tax is back to full price, which will push unleaded 91 prices closer to the three dollar mark. Meanwhile on Waiheke Island, residents are paying about three dollars twenty-six for a litre of 91. First Up reporter Leonard Powell jumped on the ferry and paid them a visit.

First Up's resident Chiefs fan, Leonard Powell, headed to Hamilton ahead of tomorrow's final, to get some scoreline predictions.

That's the staggering difference in the cost of a litre of unleaded 91 petrol across Auckland and the AA says the difference could be up to 65 cents a litre for diesel. Motorists have enjoyed a fuel subsidy for the past 15 months, but that's set to end at the end of this month. First Up's Leonard Powell hit the road to find out if people will drive across town to save more than thirty dollars to fill up an average car. And by our calculations, the cost of filling up your average 50 litre tank at Costco compared to Mobil in St Heliers is $30.50.

The deputy leader of the opposition, Nicola Willis, has hit back at accusations from Prime Minister Chris Hipkins that National was dog-whistling in its criticism of bilingual road signs. On Friday, National's transport spokesperson Simeon Brown said the party did not support having road signs in both te reo Maori and English, saying it would be confusing for drivers. Since then National has walked back on its opposition. Nicola Willis clarified her party's stance on First Up this morning, saying National is open to concept of bilingual signage but has empathy with those New Zealanders who have anxiety about them.

Green Party co-leader and minister, Marama Davidson, has clarified her comment that white cis men cause violence in the world, but is adamant she will not apologise. Her controversial comments were made to a far right person from counterspin media 30 minutes after she was struck by a motorcycle at a trans rights rally in Auckland on Saturday.  Davidson told First Up the important takeaway was that trans people were not a threat to women's safety in New Zealand.

Heavy rain is forcast to hit Coromandel Peninsula again today  Businesses say what seen like never ending storms means they're doing 50 to 90 percent less business than they were last year due to the fragility of road access to the region.. State Highway 25A between Kopu and Hikuai is closed indefinitely and with limited access to the peninsula businesses fear visitors won't visit for the Easter holidays. And as First Up's Matthew Theunissen reports, it's not just tourism operators who are worried.  Some residents are leaving the Coromandel altogether to move closer to the hospital and other essential services.

Nearly 50,000 teachers and principals across the country will strike today.  The industrial action has been organised by the Post Primary Teachers' Association and New Zealand Educational Institute On Tuesday, the Government made a failed attempt to avert the strike. First Up's Mahvash Ikram met with teaching staff at Western Heights Primary School in Auckland.   

The Breakers live to fight another day, and to catch yet another flight across the ditch to Australia.  The sole New Zealand team in the Australian National Basketball League took the final series to a deciding 5th game, by defeating the Sydney Kings 80-70 at Spark Arena on Sunday night.  The team was flying out on Tuesday afternoon, so Leonard Powell from First Up headed to the airport to meet them.

The Azad family fled their Swanson home in the floodwaters with just the clothes on their backs. Izma Azad told First Up producer Mahvash Ikram the family is still paying rates, insurance and mortgage for a yellow-stickered home they can't and don't want to live in.  IAG has confirmed they have settled two car claims for the Azad family and paid eight weeks of their rent. Their home and contents claims are still open. The company says it is working through information provided by customers to calculate settlement and do not need need receipts as proof of purchase.
