A moderate 3.8M earthquake occurred 20km west of Christchurch this morning. The shaking was felt my <2500 people. This earthquake is part of the elevated seismicity Canterbury has experienced for a decade and is nothing to worry about. More info: https://t.co/maPZ4SEtcx

He had great stories, was very patient with me and was still pottering about in his shed and garden just a few years ago. And he hit the nail on the head with his thoughts about war itself: “Aliens from outer space would think we were mad. It just doesn’t make sense.” What a man.

Very sad to have to report this news today - Ron Hermanns, New Zealand's oldest person and a veteran of World War II who served in the Pacific, died on Monday at the age of 109, just a few weeks short of his 110th birthday. https://t.co/rOENDGqADt

I had the privilege of spending Anzac Day with him last year, standing in the cold and dark outside his Christchurch home as we listened to the bugles echo out during lockdown, and to sit down with him for a few hours for a story celebrating Kiwi veterans

The idea that these vaccines came out of nowhere is a failure of science communication with tragic results. They're the result of DECADES of basic research in MULTIPLE fields building on the BREADTH and DEPTH of human knowledge. That’s how science works. And it's awe inspiring.

"We don't want to take any risks with Delta," PM says. "If the world has taught us anything it is to be cautious with this variant of Covid-19."

@southernscoop Yep - we should try and look a bit more professional with a PowerPoint presentation, maybe a few slides...

TV 1 News going full Hollywood, defcon 5 for tonight's #COVID19nz news at 6pm. Feels like it needs Ashley Bloomfield battling it out with Grant Robertson with a pair of light sabers in the background, though.

Cabinet will reassess the state of the nationwide lockdown on Monday.
