It said the reference to a coalition was sufficiently clear and concluded that the advertiser had adequately substantiated the claims made." Now, that was frustrating for the opposition parties because some of the taxes the National Party was totting up overlapped, like a capital gains tax, a wealth tax, and a land tax, which could never coherently coexist.
Colin PeacockHOST
And on Morning Report last Monday, John Campbell made the point that by the Prime Minister's own logic, New Zealand First wanting to buy back the BNZ for billions of dollars could also be considered a spending commitment of Christopher Luxon's.
Colin PeacockHOST
How do you know the BNZ isn't gonna be nationalized at the cost of $20 to $24 billion?

Now back in the 1970s when Phil was with the Auckland Star and the, the Saturday evening version of it, The Eight O'Clock, uh, he was covering music, he was covering sport, but he also came up with a very anarchic rugby themed cartoon called Loosehead Len, which probably wouldn't get past the judges these days.

It was the first credible sighting of the three children since their disappearance nearly 18 months earlier and that was news to our news media this week.
Colin PeacockHOST
Now on Wednesday, RNZ's Morning Report co-host John Campbell made the point pretty forcefully that this was hardly the first child welfare inquiry to report back on failures across several agencies having unfortunate outcomes.
John CampbellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Again, again.

I mean, if we go back to the Potasi report and to Malachi's death, right? Exactly the same thing.
Paul BarlowHOST
Even hiring Paul Henry and Willie Jackson as election night expert insiders, just to ensure the panel arguments stay maximum chaotic while allowing a new MP to demonise the parties he dislikes on national TV.
Paul BarlowHOST
Meanwhile, RNZ is launching a massive multi-platform operation led by Joe Moyer, featuring John Campbell and Lisa Owen co-hosting election night, alongside dedicated coverage in multiple languages.
Paul BarlowHOST
It's the ultimate public broadcasting experience, John Campbell looking visibly heartbroken by the state of public housing, while Lisa Owen meticulously dissects coalition polling across six different languages, and Ingrid Hipkiss in the background asking Chloe Swarbrick why she's so stubbornly against letting the National Party succeed in hurting more people.
Paul BarlowHOST
To prepare for the onslaught of media coverage, the coalition has rushed through a range of unpopular laws that specifically target homeless people, youth, Māori and more in an effort to ensure that there's no one single shitty thing that they can be forced to explain when there are so many options for media to cover and for the public to be worried about.
Paul BarlowHOST
So whether you choose to watch Paddy Gower turn the vote count into a game show or tune into TVNZ to watch Jack Tain time cap politicians or Listen to corporate CEOs explain why tax cuts build character.
Nicola WrightHOST
It's coming up to eight minutes past seven.

on this huge audiences for broadcast I mean it even kind of skewed the stats for the months when it's been big and also it was kind of heightened a bit because the report was delayed for about a month so the media were clearly waiting for it in addition to the time they'd waited for it in any case because there'd been a lot to get through for retired Judge Simon Moore but also in one sense because it's so extraordinary and unusual there's the heightened interest but also In one sense, it's a bit weird because part of the backdrop is that there's a sense of same old, same old.
Colin PeacockGUEST
I mean, John Campbell and Mike Hosking on the morning radio shows on RNZ National and the Newstalk ZB, respectively, were both talking about kind of report fatigue.
Colin PeacockGUEST
You know, John Campbell saying we've seen too many of these inquiries into failures for children and children being harmed or worse.
Colin PeacockGUEST
And it's happening again, getting slightly sort of emotional about that.
Colin PeacockGUEST
Mike Hosking was saying it's almost not worth sacking anyone because this stuff just keeps happening.
