A life intentionally knowing Jesus and making Him known. I love my family, sport, leadership, books, coffee & travel. I'm from Godzone. (Yorkshire & NZ)

@bryce_edwards @HelenClarkNZ Come back to us on this when Dame Jacinda has declined an honour rather than saying “the time isn’t right”.

@Te_Papa visitor numbers down 15% since introducing charges for international guests. No kidding. We’ve stopped recommending it as a must visit to our friends. Drop the charge.

@mangonui08 - a friend of mine recently posted this. I can't ignore his comment that "words matter" & that in doing so "you invite those with racist tendencies to come to the fore". I'd urge you to reconsider your comments & the hurt and harm you cause for people like him.

@brumby_fan They're fans, not commentators ;)

[Ben Carswell @bcarswell]

@brumby_fan Having watched it now, I’d still say you need to sort your commentators first.

[Ben Carswell @bcarswell]

@brumby_fan Can we sort the Aussie commentators first please?

[Ben Carswell @bcarswell]

@brumby_fan Well there is a problem with them, but it’s not that they’re rude.

[Ben Carswell @bcarswell]

@brumby_fan I didn’t say they were

@antonposa @SteffanMinton10 Amazing atmosphere at the ground.

@leedsrhinos "Rob Burrow" he proudly answered. I looked at him, saw his stature & realised straight away, of course he was! We had a lovely chat & I've always remembered the down to earth man, who since suffered so much very publicly, but did it with dignity and warmth.

[Ben Carswell @bcarswell]

@leedsrhinos Sad to hear this news - I met him years ago in Barcelona when the Rhinos were playing Catalans. Got chatting with him in a cafe asking if he usually travelled away with the team - "Yeah, my lad plays for them". Geoff wasn't known in those days, so I asked who his son was.

"Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith."
Thankful for Verna, Ray, Helen, Alison & many others who spoke a good word & had good outcomes worth imitating.

@DrSteveNichols Thinking of you and praying for you all in the midst of what you’re facing. Love to your family from NZ

I know @flyairnz are having a tough time at the moment, but with their online booking system down, it'll be hard to turn that around!

[Ben Carswell @bcarswell]

@rugbyworldcup Absolutely hopeless system for presales but managed to get some eventually. Not convinced it’s a fair or transparent system, but looking forward to watching some matches.

@ASChalmers @EvangelicalsNow It's actually 'Celebrities FOR Jesus' - autocorrect didn't help me on that one!

[Ben Carswell @bcarswell]

@IonaCThomas @UKinNZ Appreciate the clarification, but it would be even more appreciated if you came in to bat for us - it's madness this is required of dual citizens & seemingly financially motivated that citizens are penalised for returning to the UK

Maybe they just need to stop behaving like spoiled entitled brats. #AustralianOpen
