    You participated in the following issue on skype
    As the discussion regarding NZ media on Waatea 5th Estate thursday to discuss public broadcasting, and the impact on democracy of media consolidation
    In studio with,
    AUT associate professor at the school of communications – Dr Wayne Hope

    Clare, as broadcasting labour spokesperson;
    What we ask now is your participation in bringing together all opposition parties who share all our wish to have a more balanced broadcasting programing in a broadcasting forum to place an injunction in court to seize half of the current RNZ/TVNZ programing studios back under the control of a combined opposition voice for us as half the voting public taxpayers, thus providing all who wish for a diverse programing for a balanced programing service that is sadly now shown as lacking due to Government control.

    We need to get a public voice platform for all our opposition parties to voice our issues and provide us with critical journalistic investigative programming for offering the balanced other side of the story.
    We have offered this as a way to a possible alliance for taking a strong independent voice for all voters to consider.
    Yours sincerely CLEENGREEN.
