Whanganui iwi cancelled Waitangi celebrations and their annual river waka journey this year - but have decided to hold their annual celebration of Whanganuitanga at Pākaitore/Moutoa Gardens.
The investigation, which began in July last year, was launched after an inmate allegedly arranged the trafficking of drugs into New Zealand using illicit cell phones. From March 23, until May 13 last year, no visitors were allowed into the prison, due to New Zealand being under alert levels 3 and 4.
The most common items of contraband found during lockdown at Rimutaka Prison were communication devices. Responding to questions from
Stuff, prison director Viv Whelan said while visitors could not smuggle in contraband in during the lockdown there were other methods, concealed on a prisoner’s body when they come into a prison, posted in with mail or property, thrown over perimeter fencing, or made using every day items with the prison.

One of the Urban Kai Network s five farms at Rimutaka Prison. Common Unity founder Julia Milne co-ordinates the project, which produces meals for children at four schools and for Women s Refuge. More than 30 inmates, seven charity staff and a base of 300 volunteers harvest the crops, which are made into meals at their community kitchen and base, the ReMakery, in the Lower Hutt suburb of Fairfield, and distributed around the community to at least four schools and Women s Refuge. Common Unity founder Julia Milne said last year, 40,000 meals were produced as a result of the project. But in September, the contraband find, which Milne labelled a “really significant security breach” has meant changes have been made to the way the charity and Corrections operate.
