Hard News: Privacy and the Public Interest, in reply to Sacha,
Yes, but a surprising number of people appear to think that it is in the public interest to protect and elect the National government by any means available.

I'm cool with media having to withhold Slater material unless it's in the public interest. So long as they use Slater's own formula for determining public interest, y'know, the one he uses in real life, not the one somebody pays his QC to argue in court.

Conspiracy theorists could make something of Key's closing remarks in the TV3 leaders' debate, when he said he wanted to keep NZ as a "multinational country".

Welcome back "Jeremy". I'll say hello now, because I don't think you'll be around for long.

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to nzlemming,
I'm betting Slater hasn't got a prayer of stopping publication
Slater's backers, however...
I'm disappointed we haven't seen anything at all yet. I was starting to think that there's no need to get a legal injunction when management in your pockets will suffice just as well.

Never mind, "Jeremy". I'm sure there's an audience for you somewhere. Possibly even a paying one.

Your ideal NewstalkZB commentator:
"a little dumb, a lot dishonest, and hateful through and through."The original quote referred to Gary Cass but I think it applies here too.

Speaker: Telling Our Own Tales, in reply to Barnaby Bennett,
The launch cost $16,000. You can see it here. We don’t know how you can possibly spend that much on a launch for around 50 people
Marketing it in Auckland.

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to nzlemming,
That's kinda the point I was making. Dunne & the Nats talk of a dirty campaign meaning the *election* campaign. But the really dirty campaign has been the under-the-duvet manipulation of the media and public services that has been going on throughout this government's term of office. Exposing that to public view, which has been more or less current with the official campaign period, is a cleansing operation. Or it should be. Most of NZ seems to prefer BS.

I agree with Peter Dunne (minor parties' leaders' debate) that this has been "the dirtiest campaign in memory".
It has been a three year campaign and we are only just uncovering the evidence of it.
