Tenants of an Auckland state home, unhappy with building work in their backyard, “threatened to shoot” the social housing agency’s contractors. Tensions rose after builders removed the tenants’ chicken coop, a trampoline and a clothesline to make way for a Housing New Zealand home on the back section. The confrontation, detailed in a tenancy tribunal finding published online in December, came about after builders offered to replace the clothesline and the tenant responded by threatening to shoot. Work was immediately suspended for a fortnight, until the tenant calmed down.

Student nurses have been urged to apply for a South Australian scholarship named in honour of Kirsty Boden, the “‘angel of London Bridge” who died last year in a terror attack. The state government will provide $100,000 to fund the scholarship for at least the next five years in what Premier Jay Weatherill says is a fitting tribute to Ms Boden. The 28-year-old was killed in June when she ran to help other victims run down and stabbed on London Bridge. The annual scholarship will provide $10,000 each to two third-year student nurses from regional SA studying at Flinders University, where Ms Boden earned her degree. The grants will be awarded on the basis of financial need and academic commitment with applications for this year closing on January 31.
