What has happened in Christchurch is an extraordinary act of unprecedented violence. It has no place in New Zealand. Many of those affected will be members of our migrant communities – New Zealand is their home – they are us.

This is awesome:)

For #MāoriLanguageWeek, a new app called #Kupu has been launched that uses the camera in your phone to instantly translate objects into te reo Māori.

Give it a go. Ahakoa iti, ākona, kōrerotia - Learn a little, use a little.

“Low plastic stool, cheap but delicious noodles, cold Hanoi beer.” This is how I’ll remember Tony. He taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. We’ll miss him.

#Suffragettes fought for & won the right of #women to vote. In this 125th anniversary of women’s suffrage in #NZ 🇳🇿 & UK 🇬🇧 centennial year, the global battle for #genderequality isn’t won. Agree with @EmilyThornberry: we must keep going on this. @RandiDavisUNDP @UN_Women https://t.co/WLioC7AZu2

Had wonderful reunion in #Auckland this evening with the #TampaBoys: #refugees who came to #NZ 🇳🇿 from #Afghanistan as #children when I was PM. Each has done well in NZ & is contributing back to the economy & society. @Refugees @UNmigration @NZUNGVA @NZUN
