    Especially if he's reading my earlier comment. Actually if any journos are..

    I congratulate Stuff's Michael Field for acknowledging Russell.

    Michael, I'm confused. Are you saying I should be less or more savage?

    It seemed to me that they were taking criedit for raising the issues, in a rather self-satisfied fashion.

    That fashion may just be part of the show and of TVNZ in general. Smug for no good reason is a phrase that easily unites Paul Henry and Wendy Petrie, for instance.

    To be fair, Close Up had done that earlier story - but today's does seem beyond coincidental. Hi there, all you ethically-challenged journos and opportunistic researchers. At least have the balls to say hello.

    Wonder what would happen if someone stripped all the branding out of one of their clips and recycled it unattributed for profit..

    all my time has been taken up today and I have not had a chance to come back here

    That was my suspicion as soon as I saw CloseUp had flogged the story - (streaming, 11 mins).

    Rick, the way you described the in-kind contributions the last of the several times Sainsbury asked was much better. I trust you noticed that the word "value" doesn't work, whereas saying that sponsors are contributing stuff like the products and their delivery did. Similarly good to hear what your staff actually do.

    Maybe be a bit firmer with the $1.5 million estimate as long as you make clear it still needs to be calculated properly.

    As a non-accountant you have my best wishes working with the Charities Commission and others on making future accounts that we can all follow. Councils and Government* can be quite good at showing graphically where their income and expenditure go, so it's not impossible.

    * but not Te Budget.

    as Sacha did on another discussion

    Bugger - wrong thread, hurrying. Duplicated here:
