Commentary

The Kim Dotcom bail hearing lead both news bulletins tonight but unfortunately the judge wasn’t too accomodating as far as releasing a decision in time for six o’clock.

The sudden decision to demolish an apartment building in Christchurch was the other story in common tonight.

One News had 3 other short news bites in their top 5 while the Papua New Guinea boat sinking and another renown New Zealand business going under made 3 News.
