That position was a stumbling block before the Parole Board until last year, when it decided he was ready for release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He saw the board for a progress hearing last month and a report from that was released to RNZ on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the last monitoring hearing that took place on October 25, 2025, Mr Lundy has continued to comply with all of his conditions,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe continued to enjoy stable accommodation. He does not seek any variations of the existing conditions today.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, his lawyer Ella Burton did ask whether the board would \u201cdefine a timeframe within which Mr Lundy<\/a> could look forward to a positive consideration of a discharge of the electronic monitoring of his whereabouts condition\u201d.<\/p>\n

The board decided this was premature because Lundy had been out of prison less than a year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe board is not in a position to indicate any finite term within which Mr Lundy could apply for a variation of the electronic monitoring of his whereabouts condition.\u201d<\/p>\n

His parole conditions also include a ban on drinking alcohol or taking drugs; that he has to tell his probation officer if he has an intimate relationship; a ban from Hastings, Rangit\u012bkei, Manawat\u016b and Nelson; and a ban on holding a social media account or posting on social media sites.<\/p>\n

He was previously banned from talking to the media, but that was lifted at a previous hearing.<\/p>\n

His last progress hearing heard he was expanding his social contacts, and the nighttime curfew he was originally subjected to on release was dropped.<\/p>\n
