@bgflyingcircus Mōrena, thanks for your comment. The rise in misinformation, disinformation and the prevalence of harmful behaviour facilitated by the platform as well as the decline in audience engagement have led us to reconsider the value we get from our presence on X.

[Archives New Zealand @ArchivesNZ]

Kia ora, we're taking a break from X and no longer actively posting here. You can still find us on Facebook and LinkedIn, or contact us via our website: https://t.co/TIFj0gBZGQ

@Tauranga2020 Kia ora, thanks for your question. The reason for this is that changes to the platform in recent years have contributed to a deteriorating environment on X, characterised by a rise in misinformation, disinformation and the prevalence of harmful behaviour.
