  1. There is always a plot within a plot. Theives never trust each other. All TVNZ media staff know the lies they are spreading and how unrealistic they are, and the directions they receive to spread the woke agenda from their bosses, the amount of money misused in travel, luxury hotel stays, perks etc by those in top of the power pyramid. All these top media mercenaries get two months holiday more or less, spend several thousands on persoanl holidays and most have millions of dollars housing assets. There is of course a working class peasents in any organisations and yet they get paid more than most doing the jon elsewehre.

  2. TVNZ media mercenaries have been corrupt for several decades. Judy Bailey was paid over 2 million in the 30 years ago which is like 12 million now. Occasionally the infights expose them but public forget.

    Remember the “Ghost of Christmas Past” Judy Bailey & jealous Helen Clark chick fight and corruption. Media mocking Helen as the news reader telling viewers that they don’t need to know about the news.
