Spinoff TV ratings meltdown – is it now the new Red Peak of Twitter?
As someone who has produced independent TV in this country, I look at the $700 000 that was pissed against the wall here and shake my head in disgust. I consider how we at Waatea Māori Radio managed to make a 5 night a week, 7pm Current Affairs show that led the agenda for 7 months for a mere $20k per month and then stare at this SpinOff TV abortion in horror.

Whose column was more pointless? Art Critic Soper or Truancy Officer du Plessis-Allan?

The irony of identity politics, David Cormack’s civility and the paradox of Karl Popper’s tolerance
Those who would weaponise difference and seed resentment require brutality, civility is a guard against that. I’m not saying turn the other cheek when a Nazi strikes you, confusing civility with refusing self-defence isn’t a solution, but by strangling off freedom of speech, we only add to their cause, we don’t counter it.
