Responding to Tourism Minister Paula Bennett's reluctance to charge tourists to cover the cost of cleaning up after them, Mr Morgan took to twitter.

But Gareth Morgan is defending the way he communicates on the social media platform. He told Morning Report he'll 'respond with interest' when provoked.
