@nzherald Reporting like this is why I barely look at the Herald now. Such a shame. I used to think they were good.

Looks like quite a lot of people felt that one - hope everyone is okay. Remember, Drop, Cover and Hold is the right action to take in an earthquake. Learn how you can get ready at getready.govt.nz/earthquakes #EQNZ x.com/geonet/status/…

@AndrewNZ20 @MrJmuzz @eequlsmcc42_ I applaud your academic achievement, I truly do. I think it is arrogant however to think that people with other skills and qualifications did not work just as hard as you did to achieve their particular qualifications and skills. We all have certain altitudes and developing them

@MrJmuzz @eequlsmcc42_ @AndrewNZ20 I agree that this was a narrow minded tweet. Is a degree the only type of qualification that people “work their butt off” to attain?

@eequlsmcc42_ @AndrewNZ20 When did an alternate qualification (or skill set) to an academic degree make a person unskilled?
