    The Chief of the Army, Major General Gardiner, was on Morning Report today, where he noted that the Army had been in East Timor for nine years.

    Contributions should be assessed like student essays, noting the number of facts they contain. Contributors should be encouraged to go out and find news, the old-fashioned way, rather than commenting on other commentaries. Anyone who references Chomsky should be shown the door.

    There, that's sorted.

    Welcome back, Keith.

    What makes me think that the Key/Hide relationship will be much like the Lange/Douglas one?

    I wouldn't expect Mr Goff to make a stand for Liberty on this issue. So, once Austrailia implements the scheme, Family First will whine that we should have a Ministry of Truth just like theirs and the Government will ensure that we get moral fibre to our doors.

    Is there anywhere nice we can go, somewhere with sunshine and liberalism?

    If nobody else steps up, organising it might become my project for next year.

    An excellent idea, Stephen.

    Technical issue: if we had a New Zealand Sex Party, the Australians would hear it as the New Zealand Sucks Party.

    I suppose it would be a counter to New Zealand First, at least.

    Eye TV... wish it all away.

    TVNZ 6 and 7 won't have the audience reach to qualify for NZ On Air funding for a while yet, so that original $80 million will have to go a long way.

    Which is a pity, since they are ideal platforms for high quality, high definition television.

    Tell me why I should not download them.

    Er, um, ah...

  • Hard News: Speaking Freely,

    We have the technology; now what about the content?

    I watched TV (in the sense of sitting in front of a television set, watching a scheduled programme) for the first time in ages. I saw a really good Artsville Doco about Alun Bollinger: locally made, high quality television. This is what we want (at least those of us who think television is more than a medium for pandering to advertisers and their target demographics). How do we get more of it?
