The Press Council was formed long before the era of public-listed media conglomerates. @Loota: bringing them under the eye of the Commerce Act instead of the Press Council is one possible step.

Frankly atrocious. Need a way to counter their influence and get independent information out there. MSM are determined to make National look good. Frankly atrocious.

Murray McCully's personal view of Aucklands waterfront should not matter one bit, it should be for the people of Auckland to decide. Interestingly this is one issue where Aucklands council worked well together, just McCully didnt play ball. Labour needs to figure out how to take advantages of the nat muck-ups in future and ensure we expose the govt for what they are.

Shit, put up a huge marquis, for hire, that's what they do on the outer oval at Eden Park on big match days... I dont always agree with Mr Lee but I applaud that council continuing to consider actions democratically and being open to changing their minds. McCully represents this government well, they find democracy darned annoying and inconvenient.

Today the government announces that Shed 10 will be retained and the slug will be built. Sounds like an ARC victory to me!
