I was at #Waitangi Treaty Grounds today, celebrating a #NewZealand that will be 186 years old this Friday. It's a day for all the people of NZ. Lovely vibe, and so many families having fun. The museum's eye-opening, I hadn't it visited before.

The number of unemployed men and women rose in the last quarter, and 7,600 more 15-24-year-olds are unemployed than a year ago. With Waitangi just around the corner - Maori unemployment was 11.2% in December 2025 – more than twice the national average.
