Fourteen of the 15 boxes recovered from former President Donald Trump's Florida estate earlier this year contained documents with classification markings, according to an FBI affidavit released on Friday explaining the justification for the search of the property this month.

The 32-page affidavit, even in its redacted form, contains additional details about an ongoing criminal investigation that has brought fresh legal peril for Trump just as he lays the groundwork for another presidential run.

It underscores the volume of sensitive government documents located at Mar-a-Lago and reveals FBI concerns that the records were being retained illegally.

Though the document offers the most substantial description of the investigation, federal officials also redacted significant portions of it to protect the identity of witnesses and to avoid revealing sensitive investigative tactics.

The FBI submitted the affidavit, or sworn statement, to a judge so it could obtain a warrant to search Trump's property. Affidavits typically contain vital information about an investigation, with agents spelling out the justification for why they want to search a particular property and why they believe they're likely to find evidence of a potential crime there. But affidavits routinely remain sealed during pending investigations, making the judge's decision to reveal portions of it all the more striking.

In an acknowledgment of the extraordinary public interest in the investigation, US Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart on Thursday ordered the department by Friday to make public a redacted version of the affidavit. The directive came hours after federal law enforcement officials submitted under seal the portions of the affidavit that they want to keep secret as their investigation moves forward.

The redactions proposed by the Justice Department are extensive given the sensitivity of the investigation, lessening the likelihood that the document will offer a comprehensive look at the basis for the unprecedented search or significant insights about the direction of the probe. Yet even a redacted affidavit can contain at least some fresh revelations about the investigation, and is likely to help explain why federal agents who had tried for months to recover sensitive government records from Mar-a-Lago ultimately felt compelled to obtain a search warrant.

Documents previously made public show the FBI retrieved from the property 11 sets of classified documents, including information marked at the top secret level. They also show that federal agents are investigating potential violations of three federal laws, including one that governs gathering, transmitting or losing defense information under the Espionage Act. The other statutes address the concealment, mutilation or removal of records and the destruction, alteration or falsification of records in federal investigations.

It's possible that the affidavit, particularly in its unredacted form, could shed light on key unanswered questions, including why sensitive presidential documents — classified documents, among them — were transported to Mar-a-Lago after Trump left the White House and why Trump and his representatives did not supply the entire tranche of material to the National Archives and Records Administration despite repeated entreaties.

It could also offer additional details on the back-and-forth between Trump and the FBI, including a subpoena for documents that was issued last spring, as well as a June visit by FBI and Justice Department officials to assess how the materials were being stored.

The Justice Department had earlier contested arguments by media organisations to make the affidavit public, saying any disclosure could contain private information about witnesses and about investigative tactics. But Reinhart, acknowledging the extraordinary public interest in the investigation, said last week that he was disinclined to keep the entire document sealed and told federal officials to submit to him in private the redactions it wanted to make.

In his order Thursday, Reinhart said the department had made compelling arguments to leave sealed broad swaths of the document that, if disclosed, would reveal grand jury information; the identities of witnesses and "uncharged parties"; and details about the investigation's "strategy, direction, scope, sources and methods."

But he also said he was satisfied "that the Government has met its burden of showing that its proposed redactions are narrowly tailored to serve the Government's legitimate interest in the integrity of the ongoing investigation and are the least onerous alternative to sealing the entire Affidavit."

New Zealand Police believe a missing Marokopa dad and his three children could be anywhere in the country and might be using fake names.

Phillips, 34, was due to appear in the Te Kūiti District Court at 11am on January 12 on a single charge of causing wasteful deployment of police personnel and resources in relation to a large-scale search for him and his three children, Jayda Jin, Maverick and Ember, in September.

Failing to appear, a warrant was issued for his arrest and the search for Phillips and his children has been going on ever since.

"Despite a number of land and air searches, and regular discussions with community members who spend time in Marokopa's extensive bush area, we have not located any signs of the family," Waikato West area commander inspector Will Loughrin said.

He said officers were now considering the possibility the family may be outside the wider Marokopa area and urged anyone across the country to come forward.

People should look out for a father and three school-aged children that are new in their community or travelling inter-city on trains, buses or ferries.

The children, now aged six, seven, and nine, would not be attending local schools, he said. People should also report petrol, diesel, food or camping supplies that might have disappeared.

Family has heard nothing

Phillips' family on Thursday said they had heard nothing from him or the children since he disappeared with them. They said it was hard that it had been so long without contact but declined to speak further.

The family had earlier told police he returned to a family home briefly on February 10 to pick up supplies.

However, he failed to reappear in the Te Kūiti District Court on January 12.

He and the children were officially reported as missing by family members on January 18.

In late January, police were made aware of his ute, which had been left parked on Mangatoa Rd near the Mangatoa Track in Waikato.

On February 9, Phillips returned to a family member's home in the middle of the night to take supplies and did not appear to have the children with him.

Since then there have been multiple reports of sightings – most in the Waikato region and all had been followed up without success.

Appearances may have changed

"We are mindful the photos we have made public to date may now not accurately depict what Tom and the children look like," Loughrin said.

"When Tom Phillips was last seen by family in February, he had a beard and that alone will make him look considerably different than in the photos we have circulated."

The children's appearance would have also changed since they were last seen in January.

"They will be taller; they will have either lost baby teeth or started to get their adult teeth and will likely be wearing their hair in different styles. They could also be using different names.

"If you think you may have seen them, or know where they are, we want the opportunity to follow up that information."

Police continued to have regular contact with their extended family, Loughrin said.

"I want to acknowledge both the children's mother, and Tom's wider family who continue to be living with extreme stress and anxiety."

Last possible sighting was weeks ago

Private investigator Chris Budge, who was donating his services to help the family, said he was informed that the children were spotted on a quad bike near Kiritehere Beach a few weeks ago.

He had been out there and spoken with locals since but had no luck.

Anyone who can assist should contact New Zealand Police and quote file number 211218/5611.

The family first made headlines nearly a year ago when Phillips took his children into the bush near Marokopa.

They had last been seen on September 11. Phillips' ute had been found below the tideline at Kiritehere Beach, sparking concerns for their safety.

The family unexpectedly reappeared healthy and alive after 18 days.

Ferara then performed CPR on the boy.

"Nothing in my mind said the baby was going to die so that kept me motivated but it was the scariest thing in my life by far," Ferara told NBC Los Angeles.

"Within moments the baby started breathing again."

A nurse who assessed Aishwarya Aswath on the night of her death at a Perth hospital felt she couldn't say no to being redirected to other urgent duties.

A junior nurse who failed to realise Aishwarya Aswath was dying of sepsis was repeatedly called away from monitoring the Perth hospital's waiting room.

Tahnee Vining on Friday gave emotional evidence to an inquest into Aishwarya's death, conceding she should have considered whether the seven-year-old had sepsis given she had symptoms consistent with the condition.

Aishwarya had been experiencing vomiting and diarrhoea for about 36 hours when brought to Perth Children's Hospital at 5.30pm on Easter Saturday last year.

She was left waiting for more than 90 minutes, despite her parents pleading with staff to escalate her care.

Vining told the inquest she had observed Aishwarya to be pale and grunting in pain when she assessed her around 6pm as the designated waiting room nurse.

She recorded Aishwarya as having an elevated heart rate and breathing rate, cold hands and a temperature of 38.8C, above the threshold for considering sepsis protocols.

Vining said she hadn't been aware of that threshold because the chart it was listed on was new.

She believed Aishwarya was suffering from gastro which could be treated with fluids and ibuprofen, a plan she did not document but relayed verbally to another nurse.

Immediately after the assessment, Vining was called to help with blood collection for a patient going into surgery.

She was then summoned to help the resuscitation team which further delayed her return.

When she finally wrote up Aishwarya's notes almost an hour later, Vining recorded parental concern as "zero", believing the family had been reassured by the assessment.

Aishwarya, who was by then described as floppy and barely able to lift her head, was moved into a resuscitation area just after 7pm.

She went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead two hours later, having succumbed to an infection related to group A streptococcus.

Vining told the inquest she had at least 20 waiting room patients under her care and her workload had compromised her ability to deliver the highest standard of care.

She was also a designated runner for the resuscitation team, had to attend to patients in treatment pods for medication checks and was overseeing a student nurse.

"I think if I had have been present in the waiting room after my assessment … I would have been able to recognise her deterioration and recognise the severity of her illness," she said.

Vining, who at the time had just over a year's emergency department experience, said she had felt unable to push back against the demands.

"As a junior nurse when I first started, I wouldn't say no to anything," she said.

"I felt there was a lot of pressure to just do as much as you can and keep going and going."

Vining, who later assisted the resuscitation team in their attempts to save Aishwarya, was in tears as she described the "traumatic" experience and expressed condolences to the girl's family.

"The fact of the matter was we were short-staffed," she said.

"There was no one to escalate to, no senior staff and I did the best I could with what I had."

The inquest continues.

A teenage boy sentenced for raping a fellow high school pupil at a house party in the Blue Mountains has been bailed, pending appeal.

The boy was handed a two-month minimum term on Thursday after being found guilty in May of attacking the girl over a two-hour period on a mattress in the house's living room.

Both offender and victim cannot be identified for legal reasons.

Following the bail decision, the victim's father criticised the minimum term and called for the suppression on the boy's identity to be lifted.

"Two months in jail equals one month for each hour that he raped and choked our daughter," the father told AAP on Friday.

"When you look at the damage he did to our daughter, the sentence is blatantly too short. The justice system is not treating rapists in the tough way the public wants them to.

"Given his total lack of contrition … our family want the justice system to publicly name him. The public have a right to know his name."

READ MORE: John Barilaro charged over alleged assault

The boy was charged in 2021, tried this year and found guilty of six counts of sexual assault and one count of intentional choking. He was acquitted of other charges.

The magistrate on Thursday said the most serious sexual assaults, involving penile penetration, must result in youth detention.

While he'd shown no contrition, she deemed his rehabilitation prospects as "strong" based on character references and his family and social ties.

His full term runs nine months, with a one-year probation period for some sexual assaults and the choking offences also hanging over his head.

READ MORE: Inquiry launched into Morrison's secret portfolio scandal

The court was told the girl didn't like the boy but was heavily affected by alcohol when she agreed to some consensual activity and then pushed him away.

She has described the boy as a "monster" who'd left her "ashamed and irreversibly damaged" and struggling with nightmares, psychological issues and low self-esteem.

"He violated me and he took away my virginity," she said through her lawyer Michael Bradley on Thursday.

"He took away my confidence, my mental health and the healthy life I led before the attack."

The boy's appeal will be heard at a later date.

Kirby's Dream Buffet is not a Fall Guys clone.

If anything it's more of a mash-up of Mario Kart and Mario Party. 

Players select a custom Kirby then roll through a series of four games with the goal of collecting – and keeping – all of the strawberries they can and be crowned the fattest. 

There are two "races", a mini game, then a final "battle royale" to end each set; a label usually referring to massive, 100-player games that Nintendo has liberally applied to a fracas of four. 

50 strawberries awaits the Kirby who finishes a race first but winning won't count for much if you can't defend your stash in the mini games. 

Often I'd enter the final quarter with a commanding lead only to have victory snatched at the last second by a more daring and skillful Kirby with a knack for knocking opponents off the stage (not unlike the AFL's mighty Collingwood Magpies).

Frustrating as that can be online it's fodder for laughs with three-friends on a couch.

The courses you race aren't smooth and rolling in a straight line is a challenge in itself. 

Walls block your progress at points – and must be destroyed to proceed – making sure leading players don't get too far ahead, allowing smart players to take longer, branching paths to nab rewards along the way. 

Those include eight food themed power-ups to attack others, dodge attacks, teleport dash and more. 

It's intentionally chaotic and hard to keep track of in the final battle royale. 

Regardless of where you finish, you'll earn points that level up your rank. 

Higher ranks unlock more tracks to race and mini-games to battle through, as well as cosmetic items you can use to colour and dress your Kirby.  

Part of me wishes everything was available from the get-go but – with the exception of the final battle royales – I never felt like I was replaying stages too frequently. 

There are six race courses and six mini-games available the moment you boot up the game, but just four final battle royales. 

There are eight of each in total meaning half of the final battle scenarios are locked.

For a $22.50 downloadable game (in Australia at least), Kirby's Dream Buffet is fun for what it is. 

There isn't a huge amount of depth to it, but what's there oozes cuteness from every corner of the screen. 

Everything you see and touch – including enemies – is made out of food; a theme that works just like it did in Super Mario Odyssey.   

I'm ashamed to admit how driven I am to unlock every hat for my fire-red Kirby to wear.  

Kirby's Dream Buffet won't win game of the year and without a transparent ranking system or the ability to sabotage your competitors which made Fall Guys famous, you might not play it for more than a weekend. 

But like all great Nintendo multiplayer games, I'll happily have it sit on my Switch knowing that years from now I'll have family over and it will be as fun to play together then as it is today.
