Not so quiet subversive. 'Quirky'. Theremin player. Pigeon fancier. Pocket friends. "Obstinate, headstrong girl!" I contain multitudes. Aotearoa.

This $300,000 was clearly as useful as the $100,000 NACT threw away on the road cone hotlines & the $500,000 to Sunny Kaushal to stop talking about retail crime. #nzpol

This is really great. Honestly expected it to be a bit cringe, but it is quite special.

Especially when they won't even let him practice without finishing the chant.

For non-AoNZers, you can absolutely try this on any Kiwis you know.

Now this is cool.

Overseas comedian making a joke about Kiwis not having a chant.

Then someone in the audience sings out Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi and the whole audience shouts Hi aue hei in response.

So the comedian tries to learn it.

Good vibes, real kiwis.
