Television New Zealand's hour-long weekly current affairs programme presenting mini-documentaries on topical local issues.

  • 1The Brew Case When New Zealand introduced the No Compensation principle, it was expected that long drawn-out battles for compensation would end. However, they are still taking place. Six years ago Auckland widow Margit Brew sought compensation from the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) for the accidental death of her husband. Finally, ACC paid her out last week. Now Margit Brew tells the story of her long-winded battle trying to secure a payout.
