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.

Grant Robertson wiping the floor with Nicola Willis again at QT. Nicola lobs them up & Grant smashes them out of the park EVERY. SINGLE. TIME
#LyinLuxon was such a fool to ask NZ to compare each one of his spokespeople to the relevant Gov minister. It's embarrassing⬇️

#VaccineOnly approaches to curbing spread of #COVID19 haven't worked anywhere. #VaccinePlus strategies appropriate to state of pandemic are needed. Mask wearing works: #NZ schools need that mandate continued to protect staff, students, & their families: newsroom.co.nz/the-governmen…

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

Truly fascinating. I zoomed in with my Mastcam-Z camera on a Phobos solar eclipse. This detailed video can help scientists on my team better understand the Martian moon’s orbit and how its gravity affects the interior of Mars, including its crust & mantle. go.nasa.gov/3OqRl73

It’s interesting to watch all these “journalists” and especially one news lead with stories about ARISE and not acknowledge @davidfarrier’s mahi. They wouldn’t have the stories without his care and kindness

Where art mirrors reality
So folks have been comparing the weird @GMB morning show interview with the climate activist in the UK with *that* scene from #DontLookUp.
So we at the @MehdiHasanShow put them side by side & the results are.. astounding. Reality mirroring art!
