  • Hard News: The odds, and the simply odd,

    I noticed on the English/Cullen interview on 9 to noon this morning, that English was careful to impress that Key had been an Investment Bank Manager, rather than one of those financial wheeler dealers responsible for bringing down capitalism as we know it. "I understand and was successful in international finance" used to carry some clout, it doesn't anymore.

    At my first candidates' debate yesterday Lockwood Smith made the point that Key has loads of experience in international finance and can lead us through the current economic crisis.

    A fair number of people in the crowd actually laughed out loud...

    And actually, we just have one guy with a spreadsheet. And it’s bloody complicated.

  • Hard News: Yr Enemies R Stupid,

    This week's Media7, featuring NBR's Nevil Gibson, Bridget Saunders and Laila Harre discussing the merit and meaning of the annual NBR Rich List

    The final quote from Bridget Saunders at the end of your show was lol funny.

  • Hard News: Relieving Ambiguity,

    I asked Coleman if he'd like to add the words "at current levels" and he agreed that he would.

    Sorry to reintroduce ambiguity but does that mean the current level is all Nat Rad (or TV) will be getting next year - and the year after - and the year after that? I mean costs go up, probably even faster than a CPI adjustment, so are we looking at a cut in real terms? Because that matters in broadcasting, and it matters even more in health.

  • Indiana Jonesing,

    So Clinton wins Indiana in the end. But only juuuuuust.

    The calls for her to quit will only get louder now. And I guess the supers will turn to Obama pretty quickly.
