PIJF gone . Probably an argument in the days of declining media revenue to retain it for things like court reporting.
Some outlets in particular Stuff and the Herald made fools of themselves with the crap they put out due to this . Fortunately the Spinoff who was one of the main recipients they had no credibility to lose .
Stuff trying to pretend there was only a perception they’d lost impartially is hilarious. They were shit before they just became exponentially more shit once they were on the govt teat

It's a very well documented trend that people go from being socialist's in their younger years and move towards capitalism once they have to start to earn their own money
An acquaintance of mine was right in with the Green party during his youth/school days, went to parliament as a young green etc. etc...now he works for EY and wouldn't vote green in his life...
The Greens have gone from being idealistic to very ideological thought. You would have to be in a post-modernist cult trance to want them to have power these days. Quite sad really, from a focus on serious issues like child poverty, etc to now, trans rights and other positions that naive but financially well-off people can have. There is no party that represents financially vulnerable people anymore.
Any party with that ghastly Marama Davidson involved in ANY shape or form gets bit fat no from me.
Did she ever face repercussions for her “CIS white male” rant ?

Nope. Unless it was from the CIS White male she's married to, but I doubt it

Another serial rapist got home d, he wants permanent name suppression because he doesn’t want to labeled a serial rapist for the rest of his life.
Call me old fashioned but a serial rapist should go to jail and be labeled a serial rapist for the rest of their life

A rape can only be committed by a male.
It is a transphobic hate crime.

Not a labour fanboy. But vote for them purely for selfish reasons. Her position is untenable. It is up there with Darren Hughes' departure a number of years ago. She won't be back in parliament.

I supported the PIJF. However some of the stories hired under its means probably didn't meet the bar in terms of public interest. If this fund was used how it was targeted it would have been better. Ensuring better court coverage, more media representation at out the way councils. It would have proved its worth. It did pretty much hold up the Marlborough Express. We need good local media and it is what has taken the biggest hit over the last decade. Just ovet a decade ago Newstalk had local reporters in about a dozen regional locations. Now it has none outside of Auckland, Wellington and Chch. Stuff newsrooms used to be full. Now they might have three reporters on a good day. Media outlets are so stretched that they often rely on media releases from central and local organisations just to get by. The PIJF was a good idea. Just don't know if it is as properly executed or had the right peramaters.

It definitely didn’t have the right parameters and the wording was so vague some outlets made fools of themselves trying to post content to comply ( maori visiting Antarctica anyone?) and if you didn’t comply it had to be paid back .
I think it needed to exist for court reporting, councils and probably a couple of other things that news outlets can’t really afford the manpower to cover . Unfortunately like most things associated with this government it became a farce.

Darren Hughes works for labour in the Uk , having a terrified teenage boy run naked from your house at 3 am is apparently not the big deal you’d think it is.
Last week I said law and order would probably cost labour the election now the justice minister has driven drunk, hit a park car, left the scene and resisted arrest . Nothing could sum up the incompetent tragicomic farce that is our government more than that.
All we need now to complete the picture is the Downfall parody video where Hipkins gets the call at 1 am .

God damn media spin that Kiri Allan was not in a good mental space.

Timing couldn’t be worse for Labour, PIJF ran out yesterday and even Stuff has a an article that goes into forensic detail about the crash . Even better it happened on Monday morning so it can drag on all week, the question over to what degree she resisted arrest should be worth a few thousand clicks alone .
Ginny Anderson now has police and justice. Deborah Russell overlooked yet again, nice to see her publicly humiliated again after her behaviour towards women making submissions over the self Id bill.
Oh and David Parker want out of his job because Hipkins wouldn’t tax us more.
