Mmm, gotta get some of that sweet sweet data. You never know how it might be monetised:

Climate change is this generation’s nuclear free moment. We are committed to a zero carbon emissions future.
Also, we have to build $6billion of new roads. Now. There is nothing more important, nothing more deserving, than roads. |

Work to begin on business case for new RNZ, TVNZ public broadcaster
What a bunch of cunts. NZ no longer has a culture, we exist to do business.

I'm just angry about losing something important to me. I know it's no where near as devastating or absurd as cutting a rape crisis services. I know I'm being selfish. But I don't think completely selfish. I think we would lose something people wouldn't realise they were losing, but would still lament the loss.
RNZ in general, but Concert especially has long been a different class of service. It's a not a fucking radio station. Radio stations sell shit, focus on growing their audience, that kind of noise. You get the same in most western cities I've found. When travelling I would always be able to find the local classical station, always a very similar service. Calm, serious people presenting fine music. No ads, no shillery, no agenda. The difference is those services were donation driven and had to hammer listeners throughout the year with donation drives. New Zealand was just a better class of place. Past tense.

I'm with Lightspeed on this one, this is an awful decision and I think the bigger picture is that NZ will be worse-served by media companies in almost every respect. If the government is getting into taxpayer-funded popular media, what incentive could a private enterprise possibly have for participating in the NZ market? There's no way any media organisation can compete with a provider in the same marketplace that doesn't have to show a profit.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern frustrated by RNZ Concert proposal timing
Now I'm wondering if RNZ isn't playing hardball with the government. Maybe it's forcing the government's hand, compel it to put protections around Concert before any potential RNZ/TVNZ merger? And/or free up some funding for other services at RNZ.

They could just launch this new youth network on 102 and leave Concert FM frequencies where they are, surely?

I wonder how Grinding Gear Games' $100m+ sale to Tencent plays into all that. Tencent will be eager to generate revenue.
They did very well those guys.

Morgan Godfery ruefully acknowledges that this Labour govt talks a lot of talk and does very little:

The whole "what has the government achieved" is a weak boomer meme.
Even National didn't get around to gutting all our social services in their first term.

Godfrey points to some disappointments that stemmed from their naivety. This somehow translates into "the government does very little".
Maori get it rough because NZ voters don't care about Maori. And because the first time there was decent Maori representation in parliament they sided with the party that just don’t care that much for Maori. Maori voters have a choice between neglect and abuse. Right now they've got neglect.

Yeah like that time National fucked Maori on the seabed and foreshore, no wonder the Maori Party gave confidence and supply to Labour

Look at the substance. Godfrey's not confused about who he expects gives Maori a better deal. You're not either, are you? And you weren't naive like Godfrey, expecting NZ to be freed from the shackles of neoliberalism in a single term, were you? We're getting a reprieve from its expansion, not salvation.
That everything's not awesome all of a sudden is not the same as "the government has done nothing!" Just try dodge taxes on your online computer hardware purchases. How am I paying $90 duty and tax on a $200 computer component?

Is there a scenario here where things wouldn't go wrong? Doing nothing doesn't sound great. Involving the public in the necessary sensitive discussions? May as well skip to cancelling the government, save time.

Horse racing just got classified as an essential activity because of course it did
|
26th March 2020, 16:25 | #874 |
I have detailed files

Is it a full exception for racing (I mean, of course, Winston), or just that trainers can use the courses to keep the animals conditioned? Because if it is back on, I'll need to get some cash the Karen the ex-barmaid for the pub syndicate...

The Ministry Of Primary Industries has announced that training centres, stables, agistment properties and stud farms where horses are in containment are considered essential services under animal welfare considerations.
So it's to have them race ready, not racing itself.

Oh ffs, that guys a liability. He's either too arrogant and/or naive to grasp that he's the fucking health minister and so he really needs to lead by example, so you know, people take the lock-down seriously.
On a somewhat related note apparently regularly driving across the country during the lock-down is absolutely essential for Simon Bridges. 'My internet doesn't work': Bridges defends commute between home and Parliament
