First of several stories from my trip to Gisborne last week - local businesses are really struggling with the decline in forestry.

[Hamish Barwick @HamishBarwick]

The economic downturn is a problem that Gisborne's Chamber of Commerce president Ashley Fisher is worried about.
"People are on the brink of closure, that's the reality that they're dealing with," he said.

@KaitlinRuddock This is brilliant! We still love an active PTC 😂

[Alexa Cook @AlexaCook_]

Get yourself a friend like @KaitlinRuddock, who sends you beautiful flowers even though her wonderful job at @FairGoNZ is in the same boat. So much aroha for this talented woman - we've come a long way since Broadcasting School, and this set back will not knock us down! ❤️

[Paddy Gower @patrickgowernz]

We tried our best. 💜

Just finished reading Mike Bush's 117[g review into HB's response to Cyclone Gabrielle so you don't have to. Here are some zingers that stood out 🧵

[Lloyd Burr @LloydBurr]

There’s a broadcasting industry crisis and the Broadcasting Minister is MIA. We’ve tried for 10 days to get her on the show to talk about the state of it, and she’s either refused or not responded. She doesn’t even have a press secretary. What a shambles.
