Is the end game here for #Supercars to have less share of the Australian sporting pie? No interview + no story = no media coverage. And, it’s at that point the casual fan/observer will switch off. It’s a competitive market out there, #RepcoSC can’t afford no comment pressers.

Shane van Gisbergen has been roundly criticised for his uncooperative performance in the latest Newcastle post-race press conference – but whose fault is it really? #Supercars #Newcastle500

Always fun to play a bit of 🏏 with the fantastic crew @NZAustralia. While results can be hard to come by, making it through a third @LMSCanberra season uninjured while sharing plenty of laughs is reason for celebration 🎉 #Cricket #Cricket_diplomacy

Former New Zealand 🇳🇿 High Commissioner to Australia 🇦🇺 & current Chief Executive & Secretary of @MFATNZ Chris Seed returned to Canberra last week and met with our High Commission team along with AUS Divisional Manager Dawn Bennet.

[NZ in Australia @NZAustralia]

The sun was setting behind the clouds & hope was fading with the light as the Overarmers managed to chase 100 runs off their final 10 overs during their @LMSCanberra finals match - which helped our High Commission 🏏 team avoid the wooden spoon. Scorecard: https://t.co/hHd7mHHeJr

[NZ in Australia @NZAustralia]

We might’ve been the bookies favourite with just 3 wins in 33 games, but our 🇳🇿🏏 team, the Overarmers, had a win over the 🇦🇺 Press Gallery in our annual @LMSCanberra match today. With 1 win each, we’re looking forward to the re-match next year. Scorecard: https://t.co/KT57XtFcM7
