There’s a clamour and a cluster fuck of concern over Public Service Broadcasting (AS THERE FUCKING SHOULD BE)
But to take notice of the fucking boring old farts and BS spinners and tired old ‘experts’ who’ve ridden on the wave that’s provided their earnings for the past 20-30 years is to destine us to another 30 years of complete crap.
There’d be a Ralston (first up) and a Gardiner (I’ve paid my dues in the bubble), and a host of others. There are even a few amongst the CBB whose intentions are brilliant, but whose esprayshuns don’t go nearly far enough (given EVEN the ideals of Tex Pay-ya money of use-ya pays . versus . commercial interests sucking on the PUBLIC tit.

– News and Current Affairs on radio and TV
– Music, Drama (in every realm) that reflects our identity
– A voice and vision for our children and generations following
– and a voice and vision for any and every minority that chooses to participate.
Ploise squeeky Irene, and Bill Ralston, and a shitload of others (maybe even Ja-oooody Keehlingheeeem and the rooster-necked huzzben Broin, just GO THE FUCK AWAY. YOu really are a big part of the problem rather than the solution. No doubt you’ll continue to pop up as NZullonEar, and Teevinzz, en Raid-Yo secktives in various forms,
but you should age, and reminisce, and die gracefully and stop pretending you’re the solution for the future. You’re nice to haves, rather than need to haves
‘Who rules?’

“Who rules? Elected officials or the national security state? The fact this question is being asked reflects the dangerous times we live in. Governments collect intelligence to protect the state and citizens. Is intelligence now a political weapon of unelected stakeholders?
