The trial of some of those involved in the deadly 2019 Whakaari/White Island volcanic eruption in New Zealand has begun. The disaster took the lives of 22 people, including 17 Australians. The charges allege defendants neglected a duty of care for the safety of onsite workers and tourists in the lead-up to the event.
