Hope that Henry is one of those, soon to be recipients of a redundancy notice people at TVNZ.
As for H Clark congrats to her, but it was always going to happen.
While on the domestic front I thought they did a great job. Foreign matters I just not sure if they got it right very often. I dont know what input HC had into Foreign policy or if she was just the person, at times, articulating it.
At times pragmatic when some idealism was the better option, eg. The whole war on terror thing. And idealistic when pragmatism would have been better. IMO Fiji.
But dealing with Little Johnny & Co from Oztraleea a swift kick in the hooter seemed the best option. Too bad it was off teh table so to speak. -
“To truly fulfil our strategy of “Inspiring on Every Screen” we want all our channels to be available on as many platforms as possible,” Mr Ellis said.
Why that sounds positively megalomaniacal. 'Spose its more betterer than:
"When you cant afford to go out, relive those moments when you laughed with encore showings from our vaults, whoops sorry, extensive back catalogue"That David Fane, John Leigh, Craig Parker combo sure does have some moments. I liked that grimey tattooist where did they find him.
Malacca? -
Has the recession hit yet?
People forking out to see ageing rockers, debating points of drumming ability.
Brian Edwards and Paul Norris are considered authorities to be ignored in some circles.Hmm no discernable differences in behaviour.
Not yet it seems. -
Oh, could you give the pissing machine back to the Kiwiblog wing-nuts for five minutes?
?
Is that the pissing on or the pissing off or the piss off? -
got quite lively.
It almost got positively noisy. A mini Daily Show almost, with the audience audibly guffawing at a ministerial clanger.
and the minister deserves credit for opting to join the panel after the interview
What he didnt have a ministerial car waiting to whisk him off to another important event. Anyway I think he quite enjoyed pretending to listen to academics.
The key question is whether it's possible to have public broadcasting without a public broadcaster, and National's policy hasn't been thought through in that respect.
One could say that.
but you're asking commercial broadcasters to screen non-commercial programmes. The issue isn't the cost making the programme: it's the opportunity cost of showing it in a commercial timeslot.
Rather than pander to a lowest common denominator, note I said a
Now what do we all have in common apart from being in the same species... hmm oh thats right very little.
Good show , I wondered if you were tempted to get out a whip at any stage to get those unruly buggers back in line.

And why is it the prosecution always goes first
I think that's because it's difficult to defend yourself until you've heard the evidence against you.That was hilarious.
Still seems like a game, a case is constructed and not revealed till court day. Then is adversorial not finding out what happened.Is it the French system where the search is for the truth,
Pity they didnt colonise NZ, if its true.
Myself, I dont think an innocent man has been found guilty
So its the other option then, do you think?
a judicial direction for KEEPING dna material for at least 30 years would be a bloody good thing-
Couldnt they just make it a legal requirement then without having to go to retrial over an old dodgy conviction. Cause it seems every cop and a few others had to go have a look at the house.
-
Sometimes it takes a trial to get to anything approach the truth.
And in the Bane case the trial was a joke. And why is it the prosecution always goes first and the defence, has whatever time (in a fixed time period) is left after the prosecution to rattle thru their case.
It's the job of the police to prosecute when there's evidence of an offence. If there's evidence to the contrary that can be tested in a court, where witnesses can be cross-examined and the strength of the evidence assessed.
Ok then why does it never seem as if the evidence is being assessed rather asserted as fact.
It's not the job of the police to decide "he/she did it".
Maybe they should have posters around the police stations with catchy little slogans to that effect then.
Welcome home Graham.

The expectation of the police is that when a crime is committed, they do their best to find the criminal and bring them before the courts.
Could be just me I thought getting to the truth was of primary importance. Not getting someone/anyone before the courts.

Argentina, I hope you went for a tango or at least were a spectator in one for a while.
no opinion about David Bane. The unwelcome guest who cannot put a time frame around the length of the depression,
Need a little help?
Correct response to D Bain is ' Couldnt all this evidence just be looked at out of the public eye. Then the Crown wont look so idiotic when he(DB) is found not guilty. But no it seems they must be seen to uphold a reputation for always being right, when no one else ever is. Where do these people get the idea that they are infallible from. And it's not from god cause he never existed.The Depression, it is going to stick around just to defy the efforts of the National(coalition) govt to send it packing.

It's kinda a cliché that those on the Paul Henry side of the media establishment get a little nuts about ... well, a lot of things. And it's kinda a cliché that those of us on the Russell Brown side of the blogosphere get a little nuts on the MSM for pandering to whatever the fear-of-the-day is.
Now this isn't going to get ugly is it?
Cause Im digging a bunker if it is.
