Hard News: TVNZ: Emptied out, in reply to Robyn Gallagher,
How much does this have to do with the revelation earlier this year that some staff in the Maori and Pacific unit were doing campaigning for the Labour Party using company resources, on company time?
Maybe nothing, maybe a lot. The revelation itself is more likely to be the part to look at since TVNZ seems to have no problem with National supporters being paid by them to produce actual programs that go to air. The revelation that there were Labour supporters even in the building has been portrayed as some kind of scandal that should be fought against at all cost, even to the point of destroying TVNZ itself.

the TVNZ OB unit mostly does sport and events,
Yeah, well, its not as if they get advance notice of traffic accidents or missing dogs and lets face it, for any really important story they send the reporter into the street outside so all TVNZ really needs to own is an iPhone or equivalent Andriod device.

Did you not hear about the Flight that was cancelled when an “Al-Quida” Wi-Fi network became available? -

Why do you hate the idea of a prosperous, efficient country
Russell, you are really not helping the situation by leaking Government secrets. You know this will only apply to the chosen few.

Yuk, I hope you just don't know what that means....
But then perhaps that's why John Key likes him so much. :-S -

1% makes Act rather unpopular, thankfully.
Perhaps Seymour could just get back on the ship...
