The same was on nzherald.co.nz

Yes it happened last week, but John Key only told us about it this afternoon, thats why it was "breaking news".

Somehow I don't think the OP was pointing out the fact that it was "breaking news" :)

Ha, i agree completely.

If some kiwi tourists were in a gun fight that would be worthy of breaking news. Like you said, this is the job they have been trained to do, hardly breaking news?
