The word kōwhai is used in Te Reo Māori for the colour yellow.

Do you reckon you won April’s Merge of the Month? Let's find out! This is the merge between SH1 (Transmission Gully) and SH59 at Linden. Use the full length of the merging lane, indicate for at least three seconds, stick to the speed limit, and keep a safe following distance.

#LyinLuxon was such a fool to ask NZ to compare each one of his spokespeople to the relevant Gov minister. It's embarrassing⬇️

Starting to get messages through that schools are choosing to maintain masks at the orange setting. Now we need government to take their lead from these progressive schools and facilitate all the others to do the same by reinstating masks in schools for term two.
So pleased one of my local schools is keeping masks at the orange setting. In their explanation they cite concern from public health experts and others including M. Baker & @SiouxsieW. So thank you to all those advocating. 👍 😷. @AlisonLeversha @AmandaKvalsvig @AndrewDickson13
