Driving through downtown Auckland and wondering if everyone has actually paid their MIQ bills, or if like student loans, people are just overseas pretending the debt doesn’t exist 🤔

This new fountain on The Terrace has better water pressure than my shower.

A meteoric rise for Tama Potaka - an MP for only 348 days. Now Minister for portfolios that will have a huge say on the future of Aotearoa - Conservation, Māori Crown Relations and Whānua Ora.

A DPM for half a term each. It's giving grade 4 football, McDonald's free cheeseburger player of the day vibes.
