Hard News: After Len, in reply to Questioner,
My understanding is that no business case has been done for it yet
Who told you that? CRL has been extensively investigated by local and national agencies.The problem has never been a lack of evidence, just of ideological conviction.

That fact alone would allow Weldon to claim that the series was unprofitable.
pissing off the 6pm News show's long-time financial segment sponsor, ASB - priceless.

Speaker: The real balance sheet, in reply to Russell Brown,
I’m leaning more toward another diagnosis: incompetence.
StopPress story "Current affairs has a future, but it’s unlikely to be found in a teleprompter " supports that.
While it isn’t easy to make current affairs commercially viable, new media news publishers like Vice, Buzzfeed and The Young Turks have found massive audiences actively searching out their content and watching it every day.
Last year at YouTube’s Brandcast event, Vice’s global general manager Hosi Simon gloated that the media company is operating in 35 countries with over 5,000 contributors, creating 1,000 hours of content in 18 languages—and it has grown even bigger since then.
Simon says this all happened at a time when the general consensus was that young consumers simply don’t want news.
“When we first started, everyone in mainstream media told us emphatically that young people don’t care about the news, and young people particularly don’t care about anything international. Young people just want short, snackable content and nothing serious. Instead of listening to them, we decided to ask our fans around the world what they actually wanted in a news channel. What we found out was that Gen Y was absolutely desperate for news, but they were totally disenfranchised with traditional news media. And, most importantly, they were consuming news in very different ways.”
In many industries I do wish silly old folk would just get out of the way.

Investigative journalism costs a lot. Agree about 'news' and drama.

Important to remember that the Mayor may have been granted more powers than other councils but he only gets a casting vote when it comes down to it.
Having any more right-wing councillors (like Ralston) will shift the focus back to 'keeping rates down' (regardless of the truth) as it has been for decades under C&R. We are stuck paying for many years to come for the catch-up on the water/sewer network maintenance they decided could be put off indefinitely - let alone seeing anything ambitious for this region's future...
