First it was for the "Nothing to Hide" campaign, this time it's for the Air New Zealand Kapa Haka Group

First Campbell Live had the story on the power cuts when Close Up neglected to cover it. Next Campbell Live managed to get an interview with those people accusing Robin Brooke of doing whatever he did to them. Tonight it sounds like John Key will front up on Campbell Live to discuss the tax changes, while Close Up talks to Robin Brooke which is old news.

What's going on over at TVNZ? Complacency? Lack of resources?
