A rare tweet from me but #SuperSaturday is a huge deal. Get vaccinated tomorrow or, if you already have been, encourage whanau or friends to. Shot Aotearoa.

- Omg. That is the best game of rugby I’ve watched in a long time. Outstanding!!
- Replying to @DrJMarineExcept that… actually it didn’t fail! You should read what the Lancet paper actually says. And compared with virtually every other country’s excess mortality from COVID-19 and all causes during 2020-22, NZ’s approach was a spectacular success. See @Thoughtfulnz for the data
- I spent much of the last 25 years in NZ’s excellent public service & saw no evidence of either left or right ‘leaning’. I have no idea how any of my former CE colleagues voted, we just didn’t talk about it. Rob Campbell’s comments are a big story because it’s a very rare event.
- NZ Secondary Schools Choir sang Po Marie /Silent Night in the Auckland Koru lounge before boarding their flight to Welly. Beautiful. Memorable. One of the activities we can do safely in NZ because everyone did their bit. Ngā mihi NZ!
- Replying to @publicaddressFor what it’s worth, as a former DG of Health, Yes
- Replying to @UbakaOgboguKia ora Ubaka. Glad you’re finding the NZ information on COVID-19 useful! It’s something we work hard to deliver and has been an essential part of our response here.
- Replying to @DrTedros @KatsunobuKato1 and 3 othersChallenge accepted in Aotearoa/New Zealand, Dr Tedros
- Replying to @cjsbishopJust to confirm it’s a 95% probability that the R(eff) is under 1.
- Replying to @cjsbishopThanks @cjsbishop for your kind words and your championing of the covid vaccination campaign. Holding governments and the public service to account is an essential part of a healthy democracy.
- Got to use the wonderful new cycleway on Cambridge Tce in Whanganui a Tara last week. Well used and safe. Thanks @WgtnCC!
00:00 - Replying to @SiouxsieW @XTOTL and @TheSpinoffTVHuge congratulations Siouxsie, you have been amazing this year and a key contributor to NZ’s successful Covid-19 response.
- Replying to @AshBloomfield and @cjsbishopI want to be clear there is no poke here at all. I simply wanted to make sure I had communicated the information correctly as there is a lot to get across during the 1pm standup. Thanks
