      In the States they call that "insurrection" and arrest people without charges. The same people who howled for 4 years about Trump's "theft" of the 2016 election. The same people who just mandated in California that no ID is required for voting (but insist on ID for entry into their political rallies).

    It is totally unhealthy for a modern democracy to have state broadcasters, in our case TVNZ and RNZ, so totally captured by one side of the political aisle.
    I’ve been an RNZ daily listener for over 35 years and I’m just amazed at how politically left it has become in the last few years.
    For all TVNZ and RNZ’s talk about reflecting their communities, they sure as hell don’t represent me anymore and my views would be regarded as absolutely mainstream 10-20 years ago.

    The AUT report made it clear mainstream media was out of touch with it's audience. Over 80% of NZers believe the news is biased and reflects the views of the newsroom. The report makes it clear NZers want factual unbiased reporting. So, TVNZ should give it a try and maybe their audience and advertisers will return and, heaven forbid, they may even make a profit. But, for this to happen, there needs to be a change in leadership. So, far from a payrise, the CE and board needs to go.

    The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano increased the water vapour (the single most influential greenhouse gas in the atmosphere) content of the very dry and unsaturated stratosphere by some 10% (146 teragrams - 58,000 Olympic-size swimming pools). Volcanic explosions normally deposit a lot of dust in the air, so that temperature drop spikes result. This volcano was at a unique depth under the sea to loft an immense amount of water higher than any known volcanic ejection into the atmosphere (up to 53km high), so that temperature increases instead are being recorded. It seems likely the tremendous rainfalls recorded in the intervening years in NZ have been occasioned by this eruption.

    Maiki Sherman crossed the line on Friday night when the death of Kiingi Tuheitia was covered at length including a live cross to her outside Parliament. During the cross, Maiki noted that the Kiingitanga movement postdated the establishment of Parliament by only a couple of years "which gives us a sense of the longstanding relationship between those two authorities..."
    THIS is how you get to historical relativism and moral equivalency covering elected politicians going to Ngaruawahia. In this universe you cover Tainui whining at government as if they were an alternate, legitimate power centre, representative of all individuals identifying as iwi Maori. It's contemptuous of parliament and of electoral democracy.
    Next up: watch Maiki's gushy pandering during the succession. No hard questions permitted.

    TVNZ shows 60 staff at the state broadcaster earned above $200,000 a year, with nine over $400,000, and at least $6 million paid out in performance and sales bonuses last year.
    It’s no wonder they are losing money.
    $12 M
    $3.6 M
    $6 M
    ------
    $21.6 million, and that’s not even including the directors.

    The Taxpayers own TVNZ but have no say in either its running or Content. The Government represents the Taxpayer and also has no say re running or Content. Which gives TVNZ a clear run to do as it wishes. The only sensible thing left is for the Government to take over TVNZ because of the losses incurred and replace the existing charter with a new one that gives the owners ( taxpayers) and their representatives a lot more say in the running of, and the programming of TVNZ. Including the right to hire and fire as they see fit. And the new charter must insist on political neutrality.
