LEAVE PLUNKET ALONE

While we sort of get why Sean Plunket didn't win his case about being untreated fairly re his employment dispute with RNZ on a purist point, we are wondering why Commie Radio is so hell bent on denying their star the right to freedom of speech. Now we get it that Plunkets contract does indeed mean the RNZ essentially owns him by denying him the right to an opinion. However this last wee debacle should have the Minister of Broadcasting twitching his eyebrows.
The gig that Plunket is guesting at is a minor affair in the scheme of things... So we want to know does this mean that the big guy shouldn't have a face book page or indeed offer his opinion at any lunch either..

Its time RNZ realised that they may have a legal case but the moral case is making them a laughing stock.

No-one really listens to RNZ for anything other than Plunket. Love him or hate him , he is the only reason people tune in.

THE BEAN COUNTER AINT BUYING

You know we are in for a rought financial ride when Don Brash, is renting rather than
" investing" in property...

In this article in the Herald he is almost prone to black humour...

Queen Bee rightly points out that this a pivotal day with calls for deposit insurance and information on how to overcome depression if things get tough in our Sunday papers.
Both leaders are launching their campaigns today. What they say and do will be important to our nation.
Meanwhile Bustedblonde and the Aussie Rock have a practical response to the impending financial crapfest.
We have planted a vege garden , and done a deal with a local farmer for ongoing meat in return for grazing. We have the river at our backs and the wind in our face and we will weather whatever comes at us..

And by the way - Like QB I notice that some of the comments on some posts are getting nasty.
I write my stuff on this blog for me and anyone who wants to read it. If you dont like it write your own.
I dont moderate because I believe in free speech .
And I dont come from the school of elegance and niceness like QueenBee - my approach to matters is much more akin to Hootons..

In short you dont scare me but with 20 years of filed info as a journo and a few other interesting occupations over the years, I may well be able to scare you.
