@FlyAirNZ I travel often for business - but sometimes I can swing in some whānau visits too! Please add the ability to add children to an existing booking? Currently that’s a customer service phone call - and we all know how painful that is! #newidea

@marcuslush Well it’s not RUA at Bluff that’s for sure! ☺️

Ok Twitter - how well do you know your regional accomodation?

@greencatherine @1vsemmens @Rawiri_Waititi @tehamua Mum calls them whitestream schools. Always has. @ann_milne

@1vsemmens @Rawiri_Waititi @tehamua Because when we talk about kura we then get people saying things about “ mainstream” and othering Māori

I can’t stand the word “mainstream” being used to communicate “non Māori, white New Zealand” as if they are what’s normal round here I HATE IT In Aotearoa, Māori is the mainstream, everything else is a glass of water from somebody else’s tap

@moanatribe @Paps_R How perfect is that positioning???? Anyone would think you work in media or something! ☺️

@KeriMihi @Paps_R Our youngest roadie 🥂

Kiaora @KeriMihi Still here! Got a wee koha for @Paps_R & co.

@David_Cormack @MorganGodfery This is how Aotearoa does ‘breaking news’ presso’s - during our holiday break!

What an entrance

@litia4eva I’d just leave out the word ‘law’ - if it was me. 🙂

@huihoppa Tautoko 10000%!! And while there’s been many promises - you can’t argue with the reality that Māori haven’t been prioritised, Māori expertise has been ignored and Māori deaths will occur.

This outbreak may be the defining moment for this government’s relationship with Māori. If it doesn’t pull every lever at its disposal to protect the lives of Māori, Delta will make Foreshore and Seabed look like a two bubble picnic at Pt Chev.

So Chris Hipkins said not sure Govt would be moving away from elimination if general population had same vaccination rates at Māori / and this a fucking racist disgrace, this is making a clear statement about who is disposable and we cannot ever accept it !

I just accidentally saw that John key’s idea is to give people $25 dollars? TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS? Where am I meant to spent that 1995?

@Jubes11 @nzpolice OMFG!! Police are using spithoods on kids??? It’s as if the uniform wasn’t already enough ’power over’??? Can.Not.Even.Deal.

@marcuslush We thought our delivery was going to feature for a second there too!! That chocolate milk is tino reka!!

Yes - that was us getting our milk delivered on Country Calendar…

@garethmorgannz No - the relevant point that when you know your family will likely be the first fatalities - you think of this ‘cost to society’ differently. If you’re prepared to consider this as an acceptable risk - it can look like one feels this won’t impact those closest to you.

@KeriMihi Keri that's like saying let's not drive on roads & prevent road deaths, let's wear masks 24*7 to prevent the flu etc. There are tradeoffs, the relevant point is how much cost is society will to take to save the last life?

What’s clear from the comments is that nobody has been able to answer the question, most don’t want to even address it. Again it is what rate of deaths would we find acceptable, the rate being the number per week say? UK happy with 1.5 per mill, Denmark 0.5, Aus 0.2. 1/2

@Hannah_ChoatNZ @NZQandA Exactly. But @NZQandA announced NZ had three official languages. No we don’t.

@KeriMihi @NZQandA No... NZSL & Te Reo Maori... English is de facto not official... ?

Is English actually an official language of NZ? @NZQandA

Equality vs Equity

Went out tonight for dinner. Sad to see our table of three - outnumbered by restaurant staff - losing money to be open. We felt the least we could do was order 3 courses each, plus wines/beers & coffees! Helping the economy recover - will be disastrous for my waistline.
