#2 "The embassy is open and continues to operate normally"... i.e. "we're not doing much of anything today, thinking about going to the beach, or maybe dinner and a movie. You guys clean up when you're through".

#3 On Tuesday, suspicious packages were delivered to the parliament building in Wellington and to the New Zealand Herald newspaper office in Auckland.

"The Herald is traditionally a centre-right newspaper, and was given the nickname "Granny Herald" into the 1990s... today despite remaining free enterprise oriented on economic matters such as trade and foreign investment, the Herald is generally editorially progressive on international geopolitics, diplomacy, and military matters, printing material from British newspapers such as The Independent and The Observer but more recently, conservative newspapers such as The Daily Telegraph. The Herald's stance on the Middle East is supportive of Israel, as seen most clearly in its 2003 censorship and dismissal of cartoonist Malcolm Evans following his submission of cartoons critical of Israel."
