I'd love to see Maori Television given additonal funding and a sustained mandate to run another TV channel dedicated to general public broadcasting alongside their current ones. Selling or closing down TVNZ seems a reasonable price to pay for that. Apparently the deathstar is designed to convert smoothly into a hotel for future owners.

Legal Beagle: Council Elections: STV Q&A, in reply to Steve Todd,
The 3-seat electorate would take in the bottom third or so of the North Island and all of the South Island.
Wow. Shows how distorted our 19th C system is.
