@jazzybellx7 How were you notified that your data had been hacked?

@Docstockk Awful

@Forest_and_Bird I’m so here for this. My Melanesian friends in high places…Pipiwharauroa Shining Cuckoo, arrive some time in 3rd week of September every year where I am. Hearing the first call is magic.

@BenThomasNZ But hasn’t Whakatōhea, Ngāti Porou & Wairarapa already slipped through with claims upheld?

[Whena Owen @WhenaOwen]

@KiffinEileen I am still aggrieved that he thought Barry Manilow’s Copacobana was on his offensive playlist. Seriously.

@MichaelFieldNZ @chrisluxonmp So now, we can expect China to be very visible at the 60th independence celebrations in Rarotonga early August.

@MichaelFieldNZ Apparently the road off SHW 1 by Ohakea is swarming with plane spotters. And here comes!

@SharonM88707096 @AppX56352307 @Joe_Trinder Do you have a source for your 20 million on-line viewers stat?

[Whena Owen @WhenaOwen]

@ricozola Lovely. Verbena Bonariensis, commonly known as Purple Top. South American according to Google.

@SikotiHamiltonR Such a great read. Very exciting.

[Whena Owen @WhenaOwen]

@Joe_Trinder Agreed. Tourists don’t come to see the Invercargill Pipe band, they want to see expressions of Maori culture. But admit it Joe, the Invercargill Pipe Band is pretty awesome.

[Whena Owen @WhenaOwen]

@benmackey Yes. So do I.

@LikaFusimalohi Which infrastructure projects are needed?

[Whena Owen @WhenaOwen]

@Purplerabbit241 @EndGameWW3 What port?

[Whena Owen @WhenaOwen]

@bulkeley_john This is wildly incorrect. NZ has had a close, supportive relationship with our Pacific neighbours for decades when no one was interested in the Pacific. We’ve funded hundreds of projects, trained hundreds of Pasifika and are home to the largest population of Pacific people.

@SpoxCHN_MaoNing Why are Chinese war ships live firing in the Tasman Sea under a very busy flight path where airlines have to divert? This is facile power projection and intimidation.
