Scientists have simulated how Auckland could recover from a major volcanic eruption within the city - costing industries billions of dollars and transforming entire residential areas. Auckland straddles a large volcanic field home to more than 50 volcanic centres, posing an ever-present hazard to the city s 1.6m-strong population.
While its existing volcanoes are thought unlikely to erupt again, the Auckland Volcanic Field is young and potentially active - with the potential to bring fast-moving surges of hot rock and gas, and widespread ashfall.
One of Australia s most exclusive boys schools could become co-ed in a move designed to change its culture after it was included among other schools in a petition started by young women urging a change to the culture surrounding sexual assault.
Cranbrook School - which has past students including generations of the Packer family, Atlassian billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes, Channel Nine boss David Gyngell and entertainment icon Garry McDonald - has been a boys-only school since its founding in 1918.
Now there is a plan, circulated between principal Nicholas Sampson, senior staff and directors for Cranbrook to admit girls to join its International Baccalaureate Diploma classes from as soon as next year.

Fans of Seinfeld understand the perverse pleasures of spending time with the Costanza family – watching these pugnacious people bicker and yell and jump down each other’s throats, turning what might have been sedate occasions into epic shouting matches. I daresay that the Beare family in Mother and Son – particularly the titular characters, brilliantly played by Ruth Cracknell and Garry McDonald – could give George and his folks a run for their money. This great Australian sitcom is so devoted to capturing their arguments that watching it feels almost like a form of assault.
Retrospectively viewed through the prism of a proto-Seinfieldian exercise in narrative minutiae, this terrifically spiky and shouty series – which ran for six seasons, between 1984 to 1994, collecting much acclaim and popularity – is in some respects more devoted to matters of inconsequence than the famous “show about nothing”.
