Luxon has confirmed he will not be prioritizing a Bed Levy for Auckland. The Govt cut $7.7m from the Major events fund, asked Council to come up with new solutions for revenue and has now removed the ability to attract events, invest in tourism and create jobs. Simeon Brown

The NZ govt must continue to stand with Ukraine. The values they are fighting for are Kiwis values. We should continue to do all we can to support them. Time for our govt to speak up!

A life of service and social justice. The world will miss you Pope Francis. Requiescat in pace.

Second time round and we landed in Wellington! Well done to the Air NZ pilots and all the crew working hard to get people where they need to be! 💨✈️

Stan Walker - amazing last night at the AMAs! 🎶

Such sad news that Maurice Gee has passed away. Maurice Gee was a giant of New Zealand’s literary world, and his stories shaped the upbringings of many of us. Under the Mountain will always be one of my favourite stories from my childhood. Moe mai ra e te rangatira. ❤️😢

Devastating news for the family and friends of the person who has been lost today. Our thoughts are with all affected.

Haere rā / farewell Aratere. Sad to see you leave the South Island on your final voyage. The end of a chapter in the National Government’s sorry saga of ferry mismanagement. Thoughts with the crew today on her final journey. 🛳️

The Government wants to grow jobs and training in the arts and creative sector, yet they’re cutting jobs and training programmes across the country at tertiary level. 🤦🏼‍♀️ #makeitmakesense
