so rare to see a headline with a semicolon; let alone one using a semicolon correctly: BREAKING BREAKING, Trump says war on Iran ‘close to over’; Israel pounds Lebanon.

Turning up on the coast too late with cold kfc and then telling kuia they will have to relocate on rnz. Chopper him tbh. Shame.

My teina is studying for her second degree. In Law. She lives with Williams Syndrome. She is exquisite and rare and she knows right from wrong #patupaiarehe

Tākuta Ferris could decide the next election, and he'll do it by getting rousies, shearers, fishers and all the Te Waipounamu diaspora to tell their nannies who they are voting for. He should enter into an unconditional support deal with Labour and the Greens and they should withdraw any candidates.
