The soundtrack is similarly banal, starting with English mouting dreary platitudes about flooding and related issues, then the bizarre exchange
over pizza, a very low-key subservient questioning of the lack of an
enquiry into the defence / SAS issue, and giving English fairly free
rein to English for a political broadcast. Its got to be better for the owners than asking National to pay for the time, isn't it? - just don;t expect fair treatment for other parties, and don;t expect to ever find

Crony capitalism is all about winners and losers. With news that our unemployment rate has gone up again I guess you can feel happy that the government is ensuring that only the "right" people benefit - but you
will of course be hoping you continue to be one of those . . .
It helps of course to keep discussion away from things that actually
matter to people - the "interview" with Bill English certainly had the appearance of unpaid advertising. When does the regulated period for pre-election advertising start? That may restore some balance - as we
have seen with payrates, National need the force of the courts to get
them to act with any decency . . .
