At 2.50pm on Monday the 4th of
April a male approached a female not known to him on Lambton
Quay and assaulted her, the assault had intimate overtones.
Yesterday a 28 year old local Wellington man was charged
with the assault and will appear in the Wellington District
Court next week. Senior Sergeant Jason McCarthy said that
the CCTV photograph provided to media early in the week led
to the identity of the offender.
The investigator received
two nominations which were positive and the offender himself
also came forward to talk with police. I can reassure the
community that police will thoroughly investigate offending
of this nature.
I’d also like to thank those members of
the community who assisted in identifying the offender which
led to his arrest, Mr McCarthy
said.

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More
