(Orsman writes this morning that Brown "began with a strong mandate, put the structures in place for the Super City ..
It doesn't help civic discourse when a major media outlet's local govt specialist reporter either does not grasp or is willing to misrepresent who determined the structures. He has been consistently unhelpful and unprofessional for over a decade, yet still has a job.

Speaker: The real balance sheet, in reply to Alfie,
And it's difficult to see any other logical explanation for the insane rush to kill investigative journalism at TV3.
It costs a lot to do, is enough of a reason if the benefits are not financialised or compelled by regulation.

Speaker: The real balance sheet, in reply to Angela Hart,
There was an NZonAir grant for 10 investigative episodes during the year, sub-branded as '3D Investigates". The move to can the show came straight after the last of them screened.

The value of 3D, of any investigative journalism, can’t be measured by ratings.
Until broadcasting licenses come with a non-negotiable requirement for news and current affairs journalism, clowns like Weldon will continue to devalue its worth.

Speaker: Are there opportunities within…, in reply to Rosemary McDonald,
Perhaps, before launching in outraged attacks, one could ask for clarification of a comment one finds offensive?
Some positions are quite clear enough - though as we've all seen and done at times, our personal urge to promote them may be less conscious.

Thank you.

Something also missing from Labour's policy (though I'm glad they plan to tackle the sugar-peddlers): I'd like to see every school have growing, preparing and sharing good food as part of their core curriculum. Impressed by the current programmes that send healthy cooking done by the students home with them to influence family expectations. Or sell it to students for lunch to finance the next round of crops and other ingredients. Could even include local community experts to showcase different cultures' cuisine and increase understanding of our diverse society.
'Healthy Eating, Healthy Action' was a much more positive tagline than anything with the phrase 'childhood obesity'. Shame the PM's science advisor has been so focused on pregnant women and that seeking to control and punish beneficiaries comes so naturally for the Nats.

(by the way, this system needs a clear space after a link - not punctuation like the full stop you added)
