@KatiegIFRC @ifrc @jagan_chapagain @IFRCAsiaPacific @AJMatheou @RedCrossAU @NZRedCross @USAIDSavesLives @FijiRedCross @vanuaturedcross Thank you @KatiegIFRC - is there an update on the death toll, injuries, and whether power has been restored?

@Azizle @ifrc @jagan_chapagain @IFRCAsiaPacific @AJMatheou @RedCrossAU @NZRedCross @USAIDSavesLives @FijiRedCross @vanuaturedcross Our IFRC Office is in Suva, Fiji but our colleagues of @vanuaturedcross who are centrally based in Port Vila are already active. We had short comms with them before cut off. We are mobilising support.

A 7.3 magnitude earthquake has struck Port Vila in Vanuatu with reports of damages in the capital. Trained Red Cross volunteers are on the ground and ready to assist affected communities with pre-positioned relief items.

One of my favourite little sit downs I’ve done to date. Kind, candid, and humble. Austin Butler is the real deal. 👉🏻 1news.co.nz/2024/06/25/aus…

The news experience across the ditch paints a challenging picture for the future of NZ media. Now that Meta’s effectively said it doesn’t care, there’s little hope the fair digital news bargaining bill is going to be the lifeline we’re hoping for. @1NewsNZ 1news.co.nz/2024/04/17/azi…

Today is a dark day for journalism, and for our entire industry. Kia kaha whānau. Reach out, you are all extraordinary. Remember that ♥️

You never quite knew what the next year was going to hold, you never quite understood what stability looked like. I suppose in someways that’s what made us work hard and tell the stories the way we did. It doesn’t make today’s news any easier.

Devasted for my Newshub family, because we are just that, a family. You may leave Newshub, but that sentiment certainly doesn’t leave you. I worked there for almost a decade and became the person I am today inside those walls.

While she stopped short of saying who from when I pressed her on that during the joint-presser with her NZ counterpart Winston Peters, alongside defence ministers Judith Collins (NZ) and Richard Marles (AU), it’s no secret which “big power” she was speaking about.

At its very core, the AUKUS security pact between Australia, United States, and United Kindom centres on the Pacific and Indo-Pacific region. Ultimately, it is really to try and stop China from creeping in, something it seemingly is doing quite successfully with PNG.

Lurching from one crisis to another along with their declining fan support, what does the future hold for the team and country hosting the next Rugby World Cup in 2027? 1news.co.nz/2023/10/30/gau…

Now coach Eddie Jones has quit his five year contract, saying he “gave it a run. Sometimes you have to eat s*** for others to eat caviar further down the track.”

The Wallabies team has faced its darkest days, akin to witnessing a once-proud Kangaroo struggling to jump. While I can’t speak for all Australians, from the ones I have spoken to, the RWC, a symbol of international rugby prowess, has been a touchy subject.

Last night New Zealand voted for change, and Australia overwhelmingly rejected it. Joined the @NZQandA team to discuss the referendum results and what it means for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese #auspol #politics #TheVoiceToParliament

Calling Kiwis in Australia. Are you planning... or going to NZ Election party on Saturday October 14 (coincidentally the same day as The Voice referendum vote). Get in touch!

I SAID WHAT I SAID. I realise I may get run out of town for writing this but I’m owning every word. Sydney drivers are the WORST — they make Auckland drivers look competent. #sydney #drivers #roadrage #australia 1news.co.nz/2023/09/12/you…
