Tim Sanson:

This Canterbury farmer was brought to tears, watching a regional council contractor use a digger to bury thousands of eels that had been stranded on his land. The fish had become stranded on his property, near Lake Ellesmere, after high winds and tides broke the bank. This comes after a two-year dispute with Environment Canterbury, over the maintenance of the stop bank. He says no living creature deserves to die struggling when it could have been prevented.

Chris Brandolino:

NIWA’s weather forecaster warns of a cold blast coming our way next week.

Barry Soper:

Our political correspondent ponders Todd McClay and consultants.
