Willie Jackson does have a point – and CEO Thompson agrees. However, with a constrained budget and a deeply pale organisational culture, change will take many years. Thompson outlines their strategy.

Willie recently berated RNZ for investing in Te Reo lessons for Pakeha staff, but it seems smart to me…

Sure, Willie over does it But it always seems odd to me that there's no Maori host on any of the main RNZ shows. I love Wal, Suzie, Bryan, John, Jim, Kim and all the rest of them. Just that all the brown voices tend to be specialists covering brown…

It’s healthy for someone to be keeping the pressure on, but I’m not sure Willie actually serves Te Whakaruruhau by focusing almost exclusively on it.

Well, you missed your calling in the diplomatic service there Russell. :) Honestly, Willie is entitled to his opinion but I really wish media would…
