Great to see Mihingarangi Forbes has been snapped up by her former TV3 colleague Carol Hirschfeld for Radio NZ’s Maori team.
Yes!

Agreed. But the attacks are on many fronts. The private sector rid themselves of these pesky leftys and in the public sector they plant right wingers and starve the institutions of funding.
It is very elegant in a morbid sort of way …
if only Maori TV were really the private sector
Referring more to Mediaworks!
Where will she go when RNZ goes? Sorry, just stirring.
I’m sure its been thought of/discussed but are labour 100% sure they have a leaking problem and not a being hacked problem it seems to me to be a great way for an unscrupulous enemy to cause all manner of problems.
To repeat an earlier comment, we only have Gower’s word that it was a leak. And he’s an arse, obviously.
And his response to the mass release of the document was, how shall I put this, petulant?
was he appalled at the use of stolen material… is using leaked information, by definition not authorised for release by the organisation in control of the document, theft, and did his voice reach screech level?
His TV piece was frothing, rather than screeching. A misrepresentation of what was in the report and some casual racism. The screeching came on the radio with his mate Duncan Garner.
I knew someone would be screeching… just couldn’t guess which one…
could the real duncan garner speak up

leaking is way simpler than hacking and, given their history, why would you look to the harder explanation?
But hacking is OK if its something that has public interest right?
Is that an admission that labour is being hacked??
what would be the public interest here?
none, James either doesn’t understand what he is writing about or is being deliberately obtuse.
he clearly has no understanding of the meaning of the phrase “public interest”. We’ve seen alot of that on the thestandard this week, people calling the ‘green economy bullshit but not actually able to describe what they mean by “green economy” and so on.
James has gotten confused with what he means to be ‘private interests.’
Yes.
was this document of public interest? What abuse of process did it reveal james?
Disability activist Philip Patston’s article on why disability shouldn’t be used as a reason to not legislate the right to die.
http://www.philippatston.com/blog/assisted-dying-decision-disappointing-i-m-gutted
Assisted dying advocate Lucretia Seales died this morning, and later the court released the judgement that ruled against her application for her doctor to help her to die.

Well said phillip patson.
This is fascinating.

I don’t understand those who object on the grounds that doctors can just kill anybody, the disabled, the mentally ill because the point of law-making is to assess all the repercussions and legislate accordingly. I would imagine that ANY laws about assisted death would have rigorous criteria, checks and counter checks and so on.
The debate needs to move, imo, from is it the right thing to do, to what would the criteria/codes etc look like so we can move from fear based reactions to considering if we can create a framework to achieve compassion and safeguards.

Bring Back Campbell Live!

[BBC= Bring Back Campbell!]
A lot of peoples TV watching is habitual so the longer the idiots at 3 take to get something good up the more people will of moved on.
The buggers better not come back to the government on the Bludge again because there losing money.
No no, people watching Campbell Live are poor and spend little on the advertisers products while the the Road Cops watchers spend a lot. You see CL had too much of a focus on poverty and social issues which the valuable rich viewers were not interested in so it just makes financial sense not to have shows like that.
/sarc
You have inadvertently struck on something there I bet the more “intellectual” viewers are far less likely to be drawn to part with there hard earned cash by advertising.
CL viewers donating huge sums to social causes somewhat buggers that argument, wouldn’t you agree?
Giving to a cause is entirely different to racing of to the latest sale at briscos
actually some research shows the “intellectual” are MORE likely to be duped by propaganda, and to spread it than the illiterate.

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP
The New Zealand team is in Pool A, with the Hosts Canada. It’s a Very interesting pool, with China and Netherlands making up the rest of the pool. New Zealand has done well against both sides, and the spread of rankings is tight. So this will be great pool to keep an eye on. I have high hopes that the Football Ferns will advance to the next round.
The Football Ferns first game is against the Netherlands in the Commonwealth Stadium Edmonton 06 Jun 2015 – 19:00 Local time. So that will be Sunday, 7 June 2015 at 1:00:00 p.m.
The follow that up with a game against Canada on the 12th of June at the same Stadium. And luckily for us – the same start time, 1 pm. Expect this game to be fierce, as these sides have a wee bit of history. Also to add a bit of spice, the current coach of Canada Roger Reijners, is the Football Ferns old coach. Plus, the current Ferns coach, Tony Readings, was his assistant. Look for this to be a great game – I’ve order in my cheese toasties in for half time.
The final game of pool play is against China on the 16th of June our time. I’ll put up another post closer to the time.
I must say I’ve been looking forward to this, as it’s shaping up to be a great tournament. Great work Canada. Plus the Football Ferns are a real chance to progress to the next round. Which will be awesome!
Sunday is going to be some serious time in front of the T.V.
Go the FOOTBALL FERNS!!!!
Me too… although if you read the Herald or the SST you would never know it was happening.
“The Notion of the Competitiveness of Countries is Nonsense”
Pretty much what I’ve been saying for years now.
There’s an ad for” the nation”that just turned up on the tv3 news feed its a must watch ,things could get very interesting next week.
link?
Can’t seem to do it from face book but if you Google tv3 you’ll find it . its got the rwnj s frothing in the comments section so here’s hoping its not another ‘big reveal” flop
Lynn was teasing us about it yesterday. The Nation tweeted yesterday too. There’s no informaiton though, other than it’s a thing.

So tomorrow @TheNationTV3 is airing an investigation on Whale Oil… #DirtyPolitics #nzpol
ah ok, this will be Ben Rachinger’s story finally getting aired. And about alleged soliciting of the standard hack. We’ll have to be on our best behaviour.
That would be my guess. So nothing new – but a bigger audience.
Will be interesting if Whaleoil comes out with his evidence in reply (which he says he has and is with the legal folk at the moment).
by legal folk does he mean his other personality as part of lauda finem.

Yawn, I don’t think I’ll join the 10 other viewers, i can’t work it out, is this the right wing media works group running this show, you know the station that all of jk mates work for ( sarc) I assume all you lot are violently boycotting, so I suggest ratings will be very low
bet you can’t resist though, if Cammie is going to be on there…
probably be the only TV3 programme that has any decent viewer numbers
