Susie Ferguson steps into new role at RNZ
Susie Ferguson has chosen to leave her long-time role as Morning Report presenter in September to take up a new position created within RNZ as senior presenter and journalist.
Radio NZ’s fetish with female hosts who have an Irish accent continues.
Good. I’m glad she’s leaving Morning Report.
I never liked her.
It was 2014. Ferguson was interviewing Laila Harre in the wake of the release of Nicky Hagar’s Dirty Politics and Susie falsely claims that I handed Laila an early copy of the book and the insinuation is that the book is a set up against John Key by me, Nicky Hager and the Internet Party.
This is after RNZ had banned me for life for ‘defaming’ John Key.
I immediately contacted RNZ and told them that of Ferguson didn’t issue an apology immediately for this lie then I would proceed with defamation action.
Unbeknownst to me, RNZs lie that I was involved was part of the Police allegation that I was Rawshark and led to the case I took against them after they breached my civil rights.
So yeah, good riddance to Susie Ferguson.
Kamahl Santamaria should replace Susie Ferguson on Morning Report just for the reaction.

The scary thing who they will replace her with
Hoskings ?
heh, good try–“my cock skin” started out at RNZ!
I will be very surprised if it isn’t someone who is either Maori or trying very hard to pretend they are.
Seymour?
Truly a bizarre time. As if it would be possible to defame John Key.
Key ? Horrible isn’t he, but you guys should have noted his damehood, awarded for being the archetypal pasty male who doesn’t even impress the clothes that he wears, just ignorant immigrants like himself.
Watch out, don’t mention Key, Cabbage will go into a full on moronic meltdown!
Reading that old Scoop article is a reminder of what an absolute turd the Slime Minister of the time was.
I think Adas comment is spot on.
RNZ badly needs a refresh. Woke, relentless, no, obsessive for finding a Te Reo alternative name for everything, as a priority, a key performance indicator. Its proven difficult to listen to much less follow. What are their ratings?
Their concern about news, not so much. Not at all.
But Kamahl, yes, definitely!
Kia Ora. Kia Ora. Kia Ora. As infinitum. Useless and biased, go away.
As a side issue here, any insinuation that Hager’s Hollow Men was a set-up against John Key is pretty dumb, and I think it suggests Susie is oblivious of the meticulous and painstaking research involved in reports like Hager’s; I return to his well-referenced work frequently, and have little patience with writers who emote and pontificate with little to support their views; Hager’s not one of these, he’s intelligent and not a narrative-twister at all.
Susie might have just been being a bit of a cow, but all the same it’s weird. Any “ conspiracy” looks to me as if it could have come from Key himself; I think it was after the publication of Hager’s Dirty Politics that Key dubbed Hager a conspiracy theorist and the majority of the useless press chose to believe Key rather than addressing the substance of what was published.
Danger danger Will Robinson. A new spatial bubble is forming that scientists are labelling TDB2.0. Heavily influenced by the human ego, it’s apparently lacking in humility.
Social scientists are busy studying whether or not to put it in the narcissist, sociopathic or psychopathic category. Research so far thankfully indicates that it doesn’t come anywhere near enough for psychopathy although they’re seriously concerned that image and the pre-programmed ambition towards the 15.75 minutes of fame are tipping the scales out of the narcissist towards the sociopath.
Libraries around the motu have noticed an increase in numbers researching kinsprissy theories and Dale Carnegie’s “How to win Friends” (and be influencial) in the electronic age.
Similarly, Unity books have noticed an uptick in males in walk shorts and bobby socks perusing the management theory section
Wow! I thought I was the only one!..
“and the insinuation is that the book is a set up against John Key by me, Nicky Hager and the Internet Party.”
Unlike all the other pre election books by Hager. 😉 LOL
Yeah, that’s funny.
Well it is the National (party) radio…
Nothing wrong with a red head with a Scottish accent, even if she is one eyed!
Funniest thing was her speaking to a reporter in Scotland exchanging greetings in Māori (with a Scottish accent) surely Gaelic their indigenous language would have been more appropriate?
Susie going…will free up Comrade Dann to ask harder questions of our politicians.
Gosh the word Machiavellian comes to mind about this Martyn. A chocolate fish for everyone who manages to bring to light a current mach’ian example every day. Payment by fish in bottle. (Look out after high tide each day – one day your fish will come in.)
she did pretty well at picking up te reo but that was about it really. Still, liked her better than Dann – be interesting who they pair him with. A raging socialist I hope.
