Tess has the latest on the Invercargill City Council shambles with a councillor and former stadium manager suggesting an 18-year-old employee would enjoy jelly wrestling naked.

Nigel Skelt's comments have prompted councillor Ria Bond to take a stand and say she will not work with him as it is against her principles. It will trigger a by-election if either resign.

The cost estimated to be $120,000. Wild pigs causing destruction and unnerving St Bathans residents, amid concerns that they will attack.

And a cave dwelling arsonist has been sentenced to 13 months jail after burning down the hut he used to live in.

RNZ reporter Tess Brunton covers Otago and Southland.
