Who is New Zealand's first person to be convicted of sabotage?

The Front Page - A podcast by NZ Herald

Aotearoa has its first convicted saboteur.  62-year-old Graham Philip was sentenced to just over three years in jail for an attack on the National Grid in November last year. Since laws were introduced during the Second World War, it is the first time anyone has been charged with sabotage in this country. So what is sabotage in law, what did Philip actually do, and are there any concerns about others following the same path?  Today, Shaun D Wilson is joined by Open Justice reporter Ethan Griffiths to explain what’s happened here and why we are only just now learning the details.
