It was certainly personal. which was why I thought it was fine as a link. The ODT was where she put it for whatever reason she thought, so, I think that was ok. But I know what you're saying about the dis/comfort of it. That is why I think it was good writing. Stuck you with her as such.No wonder it was a bit ewww.

Dunedin's a small place
NZ's a small place.

that piece of writing would not be out of place as a guest piece here
Yes, plus I think that was just fine as the link you made it. Watching Media 7 t'other night, I got a distinct feeling we got a bit of a shift happening with attitude and writing from journos that were on the panel at least. Was good to hear it. 'bout time we got some good writing from people who know what they are on about. :)

And this piece shows a completely different side of the issue - I'm pretty amazed the ODT published it, not really their sort of thing ....wow!
Indeed. well written and shit ....straight to the guts of it really.
"When everyone hears my side of the story I'll be vindicated, don't worry, Mum," he said.
Well that explains what I had suspected, and interesting it was his birthday.

TV3 should have another one next weekend and give it's proceeds to the disabled kids that just had their funding cuts.

Charity is sponsorship. Sponsorship is charitable. I guess TV3 was doing what it could. $1,990,000, great effort, even if it feels corporate.

Why am I agreeing with everyone here?

And while I'm sure you didn't mean to go there, Jackie, guilt-tripping as a fund raising mechanism is really really counterproductive.
Actually we think it kinda does work.The dog agrees as I write,(it goes like aru ru ro ro followed with awaruo aru) We get door knockers asking for donations and I consider that on par with reminding others to be charitable to those in need.Nothing wrong with asking, I think.Perhaps many on PA are actually watching it because Jackie inquired.Perhaps the total will leap because Jackie inquired. Perhaps more are really struggling than The telethon anticipated.i don't watch much tv,especially during the day so just haven't noticed it.I know I care about many issues we have in NZ and reminders for one via a telethon is no different to me as other reminders but I got no problem with choice of delivery. I think Tom meant that if we didn't have the tax cuts there should have been more in the kitty for the likes of the needy, as there should be.Jus' sayin'

Why are people so down on Telethon? Bit plebby is it? Not a good enough cause?
For t'other 1/2, he feels it's lame,outdated due to the technology not new anymore and he's over being fed foolish behaviour that is a dime a dozen these days and lost the public interaction by taking away pledges which gave the public a real chance to interact and contribute.For me, nothing against it at all except, cheesy people who I seldom engage with anyway and would rather be in the garden.At the end I'll hear what has been raised for needy and I'll probably think' that's nice, wish the government cared'.(but you knew that, right? :))Hope you are having fun Jackie.
