Background
NZ Herald story here and also here

The Nelson Mail. Nelson, December 16, 2009
A man serving a minimum 25 years in jail for serial rape has lost an appeal over the taking of a blood sample from him more than eight years ago. Nicholas Paul Alfred Reekie was 32 when he was sentenced in 2003 in the High Court at Auckland to preventive detention with a 25-year non-parole period after being convicted on 31 charges, including abduction and rape. The offences involved four female victims, aged between 11 and 69. Another man, David Dougherty, was wrongly jailed for the 1992 abduction and rape of the 11-year-old girl and later cleared by DNA evidence. Reekie's latest foray into court was described by the Court of Appeal as "extraordinarily trivial".
