Dodgy!
OPINION: If you believe Maori Party president John Tamihere’s claim that “nothing dodgy” occurred at Manurewa Marae during the last election, the Hound has a bridge to sell you.
Now it is at the centre of a Media Council complaint after state-owned TVNZ and RNZ reported a questionable and alarmist NIWA social media post - claiming Dunedin had its "wettest day in more than a century" - without bothering to fact check it.
TVNZ says it's not required to verify NIWA statements.
Well, this old mutt reckons the taxpayers not required to keep propping up underperforming SOEs like TVNZ, RNZ and NIWA.
What's happened to those state-owned enterprise reviews the Government promised?
