Hager's house in October 2014.

We also want this event to be a showcase of the great investigative work being done in New Zealand, and how you can get
involved.
The conference will take place at Massey University, Wellington, on 9-10 July.
The schedule for the weekend is being finalised, and will be sent out a fortnight before the event.
Speakers at the conference include Jane Patterson & Andrea Vance, Duncan Grieve & Alex Casey, Abi King-Jones & Alister Barry, and Tim McKinnel.
