Who are some cool young Māori illustrators/comic artists? For possible future Spinoff work, and for forwarding on jobs I can't do - have had a few clients specifically ask me to recommend Māori artists recently. I have a few names but I bet there are heaps more I don't know
Hey @MeridianEnergy, ya boys Duncan Garner and Mark Richardson are claiming on @TheAMShowNZ that the government knows Patient Zero and is hiding their identity for political purposes. You happy with your branding being associated with this?
Requiring border staff to be tested is “a big lever to pull”, but locking Auckland down isn’t? This Government is out of touch. New leadership is required because we can’t hug our way out of this crisis. We need competence, not just good communication.

Ministry of Health says a Japanese traveller who tested positive overseas "spent some time in Wellington prior to departure and visited The Ramen Shop among a number of other places... the risk is considered very low."

We encourage you to continue to use the Rippl app, but to avoid confusion (when NZ COVID Tracer can’t scan Rippl codes) we have decided that it's best for everyone to replace their Rippl QR code posters with NZ COVID Tracer. Let's beat this thing. More on this below.@Rippl_NZ![]()

Spent a bit of time today consolidating my tips thread from over a year ago, & updating it a bit! YMMV of course, but this is a quick look over common errors I see in applications, and things that also make applications stand out to me as an employer. ✨ medium.com/@starcolt/tips…@lucyamorris![]()

On this day in 2011: The largest snowfall in Wellington for 40 years caused much excitement and chaos throughout the city, stranding motorists and cutting power. Snow fell to sea level and settled in the northern suburbs overnight, including Churton Park, Newlands and Karori. ^KL@MetService

Interesting - the MOH written briefing sheds light on how both todays Covid mysteries came to be (Pakuranga College and The Ramen Shop).
Both seem like pretty understandable miscommunications by various people.

This was an issue during the first lockdown, when many (maybe most) DHBs put local questions to the national presser. If there is any reason to have DHBs its that they have good local info. They should be able to update local reporters throughout the day and not rely on MoH.
the pakuranga college thing exemplifies the problem with releasing all new information in a live press conference once per day, not in regular written press releases
Similar thing with The Ramen Shop. I've spoken to a staff member at the shop who says Regional Public Health contacted them about a Covid-19 case. But RPH won't answer questions and directed me to MOH. In the meantime people are panicking. Reluctant to publish until more clarity.

IRD should audit every restaurant that claims a loss for this week and they should be fined. Hard. Wipe them out. I have a dozen books on curing sitting on my shelf, most even in English. Every professional cookery course I have done/read teaches the zero waste aim.
This is the ONLY way you can vote in FIVE STATES including mine. There has been zero controversy. Every ballot is verifiable. He understands balloting the way he understands public health management. As a lie.

With Playmarket and their archives helping, we’ll be improving the dire coverage of NZ theatre tomorrow: fleshing out @Wikidata, scanning photos for @WikiCommons, adding press clippings as refs. Coordinated by @whereby meetups and this project page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia…
Have been part of organising a Wikipedia edit-a-thon for NZ theatre. Rescheduled and now level 2. So we are trying a new 'social distance' format this Saturday. Exciting!
Some ideas for the NZ COVID tracer app:
* Drop the splash screen, save that time on open.
* Go straight to the scan QR screen 99.9% of the time I want to scan a QR not look at the dashboard

As an aside, a lot of people were very quick to cast aspersions at both The Ramen Shop and at journalists for asking about it. Slow down.

Chris Hipkins: “Compulsory testing is a big lever to pull”
Fair enough, when you look at it like that, putting 1.6m people in lockdown does seem the less-disruptive option. Get your hand off the big lever, Minister

"Compulsory testing is quite a big lever to pull" says Hipkins.
Level 3 is a small lever?
And Bloomfield could have pulled that lever all by himself, if he'd wanted.

1. The people demanding that we should be like Sweden seem to think people there are wandering around fancy-free. They're basically at Level 2.5 (no gatherings larger than 50, widespread physical distancing, effective quarantine of elderly people, etc) for the foreseeable future.
Sweden are running TV news articles basically laughing at us 🤦🏻♂️ - so says Gran from her rest home in Gothenburg

Covinda, stop destroying our economy and wasting Kiwis’ hard earned money by prolonging the inevitable! You can’t stop a virus, lockdown is a massive failure! Protect the elderly and vulnerable, common sense social distancing and hygiene and stay home if you’re sick!
Open up !

According to my Deep-State mate: "Anyone who believes in a "plandemic" conspiracy has either never worked in govt or vastly overassumes the levels of competency the govt has to pull something like this off. Public servants can barely organise waiata practice."
Bravo @dbseymour for telling it like it is. We absolutely need competence, not just more catchy communication. Spin won't hold back the virus or the consequences of ongoing incompetence.

So sick of the media bullshit. I worked in L4 border protection. Casual contact is not sufficient for transmission. Anyone in close contact used protection. We were health tested every day. The slightest sniffle or hint of exposure we were isolated and tested. No one got covid.
