@lozbohane NZ is full of surprises…and this is only day one!

Waited two hours at Queenstown Airport yesterday to be told a kayak had fallen across the cargo door and everyone’s luggage was stuck on a plane that was being sent back to Sydney. So it was definitely an interesting start to my holiday…

@LucyThack @_MollieGorman @Hughiehogan Yep.

@_MollieGorman @Hughiehogan Who does whatever it takes to get the shot

HB to the central west’s most patient reporter @Hughiehogan 🥳 💕

@LucyThack @nicklowther Is that a Carlton Blues scarf?! I love Nick’s beanie too!

So horrendously cold I’m sinking to wearing this awful Carlton scarf 😣 @nicklowther live-x #3

@adamcoopnz @NewstalkZB @pineyzb Great job Adam, congratulations.

Pumped to be back joining the @NewstalkZB team in May as Wellington morning sports anchor, Saturday morning host and Operations Manager. Know I'll never quite fill the massive shoes of my mentor and mate @pineyzb but I'll give it my best shot!

Farmer: We’ll walk out here but I can’t guarantee there won’t be a lot of snakes. Me:...Ok... Farmer: It’ll be alright, I’ll go first. Me: Great...that’ll help...

How did the current drought event take shape? See the Combined Drought Indicator (CDI) animation to watch how the drought has evolved since 2017. For more about the CDI and drought maps, visit the EDIS website fal.cn/3ail6

@ljdooney @nitabp I'm just reminded of the disturbing obsession with Beyonce in the Wellington newsroom!

@TimFookes @nitabp What is that supposed to mean Fookes?

My friend told me she’d stalked me on Spotify to find ‘new’ music and I was like “uuummm” and she was like “yeah ... you inspired me to listen to Beyoncé though” #beyallday

@ljdooney @nitabp 🙄

@nitabp I owe you for helping (forcing) me to realise her greatness.

@GaveltomTom @MrLukeWong @abcnews Just the journos and pollies in Blayney, but they met with farmers and ag representatives in Orange earlier in the day.

@MrLukeWong @TimFookes @abcnews Anyone else there besides journos and pollies?
