The government's radical overhaul of pay equity laws is having its final reading in Parliament, with opposition parties fuming that the controversial reforms are being rail-roaded through under urgency. Workplace Minister Brooke van Velden on Tuesday announced the government will raise the threshold for proving work has been historically undervalued when making a pay equity claim. Nick James filed this report from Parliament.

Opposition parties and protestors have come out in force - quite literally on the steps of Parliament - within hours of the coalition announcing a law change that will make it harder to pursue a pay equity claim. The furore over the government's decision to raise the threshold for proving work has been historically undervalued as part of a claim, has forced ministers to go on the defensive. Nick James has been following developments from Parliament.

Nick James joins Emile Donovan from the capital where MetService have warned of a threat to life from flying items and falling trees.

It's taken the best part of a decade but sod has finally been turned on Wellington's Golden mile upgrade. The $116 million dollar plan was part of the "Let's Get Wellington Moving" intiative before it was canned and is supposed to transform the capital's entertainment precinct. But some local businesses who will be affected by the upgrade say the timing is off - and one bar reckons it could be the final straw that sinks nearby businesses. Nick James reports.

Wellington mayor, Tory Whanau, has quit the mayoralty race. Whanau announced on Monday night she won't be running for a second term as mayor and will instead run for the Māori Ward. Wellington Issues reporter Nick James spoke to Corin Dann.

Drivers wanting to travel faster on State Highways around the country will soon get their wish. 38 sections of the roading network will be reversed back to their previous higher speed limits by NZTA over the next five months. It brings an end to speed reductions brought in under the last Labour Government. There are concerns that faster speeds could lead to more crashes on our roads, but the government insists the changes are safe. Nick James reports.

$220,000 has been pocketed in fines for the misuse of a bus lane opposite Wellington Regional Hospital - in just one month. Nick James reports.
