Wattie’s, Hipkins, Wellington’s library and a ‘hugely significant’ legal battle | The Spinoff

Robbie Nicol's back to explain four big news stories in one short video. First, Heinz Wattie’s is set to close manufacturing lines across New Zealand at the cost of 350 jobs. Then, Nicol explains what led to a teary-eyed Chris Hipkins fronting media, responding to claims made online by his ex-wife Jade Paul. In happier news, 11,500 Wellingtonians turned up to Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui, Wellington’s central library, for its grand reopening, and Claire Mabey joins us from Wellington to show us what makes it so good. Finally, Nicol explains the “hugely significant” legal case between a group of activist climate lawyers and the New Zealand government. Made with the support of NZ On Air.
