Australian police are offering a AU$350,000 (NZ$376,000) reward for information on who killed Kiwi firefighter Ian Pullen in a hit-and-run.
Pullen's body was found on the side of the road near the New South Wales town of Singleton in September last year. He had left his wife and three children behind in New Zealand to fight bushfires in the area.

The person who hit Pullen is still yet to come forward, despite emotional pleas from Pullen's family for the person responsible to come forward.
Police released photos of a vehicle believed to be similar to the one involved in the accident in March, but still can't find the driver.
On Saturday they announced a monetary reward for any information that could help find Pullen's killer, ABC reports.
"We're hoping that … this monetary incentive, that it'll bring people to the table to speak with the police, via Crimestoppers," Det Acting Insp Steve Benson told media.
Pullen's mother Gill spoke to media at the same time and called for the driver to come forward.
"Why couldn't you stop? I mean, okay, it might have been an accident. But why not stop?" Gill said.
"I mean, if you had an animal, you don't leave them lying on the side of the road for somebody else to find. That's just being a coward."
