The parents of a young teacher who drowned in Wellington Harbour have spoken about their grief.

Issac Levings died following a night out at a concert. Georgina says his death is eerily similar to others on the waterfront at night and the Wellington City Council is investigating more fencing in the area.

She also talks to Kathryn about eroding trust in Kiwrail after last-minute chaotic disruptions to ferry and train services in Wellington. The Government has launched a rapid review into KiwiRail.
