Make Foulden Maar a Scientific Reserve! it has changed the way we think about NZs past - it has whole preserved fish, fossils of our southern iconic cabbage trees, even orchid fossils, which are incredibly rare worldwide #SaveFouldenMaar @clarecurranmp @EugenieSage @botanyotago

It is a bad look that you’re even saying this—people died —> “Asked about pill testing, he said it would be a "bad look for the government" and for police too, given the substances were illicit. “ https://t.co/TUblBK0uDz
