NZ News Today

New Zealand's news, and your city's: from Whangārei to Invercargill. NOT A GOVERNMENT APP: NZ News Today is independent. It does not represent the New Zealand Government, Parliament, any council or government agency, and is not affiliated with them. Every source is listed under SOURCES. NEWS By topic (politics, business, money and housing, Te Ao Māori, Pacific, rural, weather, rugby, cricket and more) and by city, with subscriber stories marked. A notification at most once a day for what you follow, never at night. Tap a term under a headline (OCR, KiwiSaver) to see what it means. TODAY For your city: MetService's severe weather warnings and watches, with alerts; the weather; earthquakes near you, with an alert when one is felt; volcanic alert levels, with an alert when one rises; state highway closures and the passes; tonight's southern lights in the South Island; the NZ dollar and the OCR; the next long weekend. CALENDAR AND LEARN Public holidays with Mondayisation, Matariki and your region's anniversary day, daylight saving and tax dates, with reminders. A te reo Māori word a day, and "New Zealand explained": 65 terms.
