Recovery efforts are back underway at the site of the fatal Mount Maunganui slip after they were earlier suspended when more land movement was detected. One of the six people missing has now been formally identified. A child and grandmother were also killed when a landslip hit a house in Papamoa during last weeks severe weather. The tragedies have renewed focus on the risks of land movement, so how aware are New Zealanders of the hazards they pose and what are the warning signs? Lauren Vinnell, a senior lecturer at Massey University's Joint Centre for Disaster Research, spoke to Lisa Owen.

The prime minister says it could take up to six months to remove masses of soil dumped on damaged roads on the East Cape from last week's storm. Christopher Luxon visited weather-hit Te Araroa and Hicks Bay by helicopter, and spoke to media at the Tai Rawhiti emergency coordination centre. Like locals, he's bracing for a long and tough road ahead. The PM's comparing the devastation in some places to 20-23's Cyclone Gabrielle. Meanwhile, work has just resumed at Mount Maunganui a week on from the deadly land-slip there. Rescue workers were pulled out of the disaster site this morning after technology that had been installed to monitor land movement was triggered and work suspended. It came ahead of a vigil tonight for a community still reeling over the deaths of six people. Kim Baker Wilson spoke to Lisa Owen.

Part of the cordon has been lifted near the site of the deadly Mt Maunganui landsip, allowing about a dozen businesses to reopen for the first time in six days. But just a few hundred metres around the corner, the recovery effort to find those buried continues - and that continues to weigh heavily on locals' hearts. Lauren Crimp reports from Mount Maunganui.

This morning we spoke to our reporter at Mount Maunganui for an update on the recovery mission. There's confusion over changes to rules for people travelling to the UK. We were joined by the British High Commissioner to answer some of your questions. As kids go back to school, we look at the cost of school uniforms.

One of the victims of the deadly Mount Maunganui landslide has been formally identified as Max Furse-Kee. RNZ Reporter in Mount Maunganui, Lauren Crimp spoke to Corin Dann.

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Sarah Perrim-Lampp and Michael Moynahan. First up, misinformation has been circulating online about the safety of the Mount Maunganui landslide and how preventable this disaster was. But is it actually possible to guarantee safety from these events? The Panel talks to Dr Tom Robinson, a senior lecturer in disaster risk and resilience at the University of Canterbury. Then, is it time to call time on the school uniform? Journalist Gamaliel Ramos Oliver reckons so. He says uniforms are expensive and wants them gone.

Tauranga City Council's confirmed staff were working around Mount Maunganui on the morning a landslide buried six people at the campground. Surrounding cordons were reduced this morning, on day seven of work to recover those buried. A rāhui's been declared for parts of Pilot Bay and Mount Main Beach and the cordoned search area. Mayor Mahé Drysdale says the council's independent review will help narrow down which staff were in the area - and their jobs. "They were in the process of closing Mount Maunganui and putting fences up to stop the public from going into the Maunga, and that's because there were a lot of slips."

The government is mulling an inquiry into the events surrounding the deadly landslide that crashed down Mount Maunganui on Thursday, leaving six campers missing - presumed dead. While the recovery effort continues, questions are being asked about whether the council-owned campground should have been evacuated earlier, when the alarm was raised about other slips on the maunga. Lauren Crimp is in Mount Maunganui and filed this report.

There is a "strong case for an independent government inquiry" and families of those missing in the Mt Manuganui landslip "deserve" the facts, according to the Prime Minister. He has appointed Chris Penk to advise cabinet on the possible scope of an inquiry into the fatal disaster. Tauranga City Council is already planning to investigate but the Prime Minister said there is an inherant conflict. Newly appointment Associate Minister for Emergency Management and Recovery, Chris Penk spoke to Lisa Owen.

Last week, following weather warnings and torrential rain, slips across the Coromandel and  Bay of Plenty wreaked havoc, cutting off communities, damaging houses, and worst of all, taking lives. At the base of Mauoa, Mount Maunganui, a slip hit a council-owned campsite, claiming six lives and now eyes are turning towards how a tragedy like this could be prevented in future. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon was among the world leaders offered membership on Trump's post conflict government body, the board of peace. The board has received scathing criticism for including people under investigation for war crimes and failing to have a representative voice for the Palestinian people. Luxon has, in turn, received criticism for not ruling out the invitation. Finally, the New Zealand Defence Force has begun to incorporate uncrewed vehicles and drones as it moves into a new era of increased defence spending For our weekly catchup with the Green Party, Wire host Manny spoke with MP Ricardo Menéndez March about Luxons refusal to rule out joining Trump's board of peace, and the New Zealand Defence Forces incorporation of drones but began with asking him about the fatal slip in Tauranga,  

Landslide experts say it was a matter of when, not if, the slope overlooking the Mount Maunganui Beachside Holiday Park failed. Speculation has swirled online about the slip, where the recovery of the six people missing could still take weeks. Canterbury University's Tom Robinson says the slip was going to happen regardless if trees had been removed from the mountain. Emergency Management Minister Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking misinformation doesn't help the mental health of those impacted by the disaster. He says they have to do an inquiry, but they don't want to force more mental health issues. Labour agrees there's a need to do an inquiry, with Ginny Andersen telling Hosking it's important people are able to get the answers they need.

The Emergency Management Associate Minister says it's vital we understand exactly what went wrong leading up to the Mount Maunganui landslide. The Government led inquiry will investigate the events surrounding Thursday's deadly slip, where recovery of the six people missing could still take weeks. Meanwhile, it's dishing out $2.4 million to help storm-hit communities. Chris Penk told Mike Hosking it's a high stakes event, with low information and lots of emotion. He says the lessons we learn about avoiding preventable disasters won't be worth its weight in paper if we don't know what happened at Mount Maunganui. There's also an assurance that the Government's funding for storm-hit communities is just the start. About 500 people have been displaced across the North Island, nine left dead, with one still missing. The Government's funding $200 thousand to Rural Support Trusts, $1.2 million into mayoral relief funds, and $1 million into reimbursing marae helping out. Penk told Hosking the funding's on top of Government investments into flood resilience. He says it's not about just giving a small amount for this incident, it's about getting the cash flowing.

Six people remain missing - with recovery efforts slow faced by the unstable land, with floral tributes surrounding the cordon. Cabinet's discussing allocating funding to areas hard hit by severe weather. Emergency Management Minister Mark Mitchell says he's spoken to Tauranga mayor Mahé Drysdale - but the council may still proceed with their own investigation.

Concerns about how many investigations will be held into Mount Maunganui's deadly landslide, with six people still buried and careful recovery work continuing. WorkSafe will look into organisations with a duty of care at the holiday park, the Council's reviewing events beforehand, and Fire and Emergency could launch a probe. The Institute of Safety Management's Mike Cosman says police will investigate on behalf of the Coroner, and could do so in their own right too. He says others may also be looking deeper. "One of my concerns here is that when you've got multiple simultaneous investigations going on - is witnesses, whanau, first responders having to retell their stories multiple times to multiple different agencies. It can be incredibly traumatic." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's less than a month to my son's first birthday and whenever anyone asks me about my experience of becoming a father, I feel like I have nothing new to offer tens of thousands of years of established observations and discourse. “I just feel,” I say. “Like all the cliches are true. The intensity of the love. The joy. The exhaustion. It's all true!” But one of the things I've come to appreciate more is the difference between theory versus experience. There's stuff I knew about parenting. I understood the theory. But it has taken experiencing it to properly get it, to appreciate it in my marrow. Case in point: newborn babies almost never look very good. They're always a bit squished or alien, a bit like a bald marsupial. And yet, when you're a new parent, you're sure that your baby is different. Perfect and symmetrical and gorgeous in every way. I knew this before we had our son. I had observed the phenomenon in close friends. And yet when our boy arrived, I was convinced. ‘He really is gorgeous. I know it's a thing. I know new parents get new parent goggles. But this is different!' I thought. I look back now, and I've sobered up a bit. In the photos he looks like a newborn. It took experiencing that to properly get it. I'd love this to be a funny little story but sadly it's not. I just wanted to use the point to illustrate something else. Before having our boy, other parents told me how having a child changed they felt when they heard about accidents or tragedies affecting children in the news. I could understand it, but I couldn't understand it if you know what I mean. This last year, I've really noticed the change – for someone who's worked in news all his life, it's quite something. This morning, I just cannot stop thinking of the poor families at Mt Maunganui, especially the parents of the young people who are still missing. Could there be a more iconic Kiwi campground? A happier summer spot? The response effort is ongoing. But the thought of those families enjoying a summer holiday and all of the joy that brings, the ice creams and the card games and the memories... and for that to end in a moment, in a freak accident, like this... it's just hideous. This really isn't about me. It's just to say that after Mt Maunganui, I couldn't help but think a lot about my own boys and just imagine how awful these days and this waiting will have been for those poor families whose kids are missing. It's another dimension to parenting I had to experience to fully understand. I love my boys so intensely, but we all know there's nothing any of us can do to fully protect anyone in this world. Some things are left up to chance and luck. And freak accidents happen. I just hope the poor families at the centre of this have every last bit of support that will possibly help them in any way.

Destruction and tragedy have come in the wake of slips caused by record rainfall in the upper North Island. Police have confirmed two bodies have been found following an early morning landslide on Pāpāmoa's Welcome Bay Road. As well, a man is still missing after being swept away by the Mahurangi River north of Warkworth on Wednesday. Hundreds of homes remain without power and there's widespread closures on the Coromandel Peninsula, Bay of Plenty and Gisborne District on State Highways 2, 25 and 35. Emergency Management Minister Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking unfortunately tragedies like this happen with the amount of rain we received. He says the ground loses its ability to soak up any more water, which is why slips have been so widespread across the eastern seaboard. Rescuers at the base of Mount Maunganui have been working through the night and into the morning to find campers buried by a landslide. A source has told the Herald there could be up to nine people unaccounted for —including children— after the hill gave way and smashed through a popular campsite and hot pools. Mitchell told Hosking there's no timeline for how rescue efforts will unfold. He says a lot of earth has come down and destroyed buildings, campervans, and caravans.
