The One News clip I saw part of was more coherent, but still with Helen Kelly (and Robyn Malcolm) fronting. Be interesting to hear more about what they have been doing for the last couple of weeks. The argument that tax breaks are a big factor is hard to ignore.
Story still not online at this late hour. Ridiculous that a state broadcaster doesn't make that a priority despite all their digital rhetoric. Are they spooling them by hand or something?

Wonder if cancelling the Equity meeting in the face of advancing trades hordes was Mr Whipp's idea?

TV3's Rachel Smalley tweets:
The Hobbit is the big story tonight. Huge protests in Welly, looks like it's going to Ireland and taking 700million dollars with it. 10.40pm

Can someone post about what conditions the Ministry is seeking to 'claw back' in its recent offers as has been mentioned but not spelled out in some reports?

Here's what you're dealing with. This government is relaxed about funding 10 figure bailouts for SCF investors or tax cuts for the already wealthy, but kittehs will die if teachers ask for more pay (or better conditions):
There is no new money to offer teachers a bigger pay increase unless they wanted to burden their students with a future of paying off national debt, says Prime Minister John Key.
...
Mr Key said the Government was already borrowing $256 million a week.
"Do the teachers really want us to borrow more than that and place a noose around the neck of young New Zealanders?"
He said there would always be more industrial action under a National government.
"That's just the way unions react, the unions back and fund the Labour Party and so they are always going to be our opponents while we are in Government," he said.
Education Minister Anne Tolley has repeatedly said there was no extra money and "it's not like we can magic money overnight".

Yes, did that when it first happened - must be screwing with something below that configurable level.
