Cyclone Vaianu Threatens NZ Growers with Wind and Rain
Specialist horticulture and viticulture weather forecasters Metris says the incoming Cyclone Vaianu is likely to impact growers across the country.
One notes that Oram's employer - the Newsroom website - has been a huge beneficiary of the Labour Government's controversial $55 million (Public Information Journalism Fund (PIJF).
Over the six rounds of PIJF funding, Newsroom took $2,377,356 in taxpayer handouts - over 4% of the total fund.
With some media outfits sticking their noses so deeply into this dodgy trough of state funding, it's no wonder the public are losing trust in these media outlets, especially when they cuddle up so closely to the Government so they can suckle from the taxpayer teat.
