Get cracking Labour and come up with a sustainable long term plan.

Shame on those who voted for this government, they killed Channel 7. Hardly suprising Craig Foss didn’t understand the questions, he’s probably been told to play dumb…except he isn’t.

Very sad that it is the last one as the CR has shown that a programme about the law and legal issues in New Zealand, and the practitioners, can work very well. A sense, though, that public broadcasting in NZ will rise again soon, bigger and better. Big crowd at the taping of the final Court Report last night at Victoria University.

It should retain channel7, AND, beside the excellent present programs it could have exhaustive debate and documentary programming of all the issues surrounding the asset sales. So rather than spending on an expensive PR campaign to persuade us to buy our stuff they could have intelligent debate and discussion so the whole nation could be informed properly and honestly. Well I thought it is a good idea, but the Nat`s clearly do NOT want full and fair discussion. They most certainly do not want Channel7 - ie a public information and documentary channel without fear or favour. WE MUST RELENTLESSLY SHAME THEM ON THE "7" AND ASSET SALES DECISIONS An honest and ethical government could kill two birds with one stone!
