Just watched the segment, and it was legitimately loving hilarious.

Hopefully it'll get more donations in, too.

Forest & Bird presumably thinks the same apparently the show contacted them in advance.

i think it's okay to gently caress up a local competition but imo it would have been more polite to wait for a non-century year so that his fuckery was contained to only a single year.

Why did they make it bird of the century this year?
I almost feel as if they and John Oliver’s team had talked about this before and he came in because it was bird of the century. This boosts the profile of the competition and generates awareness of conservation issues and drives donations. This is a big win for Forest and Bird.

You should try reading the articles about how Israel is selling gas and oil leases and exactly where the gas and oil deposits tend to be. That'll soon crush the hope right out of you.

Let's nip this in the bud right here. Discussing the NZ media's piss-poor approach to the genocide in Gaza is fine, but this is still the NZPol thread and not the place to have a fight about it.

it's definitely a huge win, and he got a good segment out of it.

Okay well me being wrong in some limited situations doesn't change my overall point.
You can get as many boosters as you want as long as its been 6 months since your last one, 5 months is the vaccine giver agrees, 4 months by prescription.

Pharmac is expecting pfizer to submit the new booster they have early 2024 for evaluation

That's all the information I know

He's right, but what he means is "I shouldn't face any consequences" which is wrong. Kind of hosed up to profile him in the first place though.

What do you mean by profile him? From my understanding if he had even attempted to show contrition it would have been a much lighter judgement.

Profile as in feature an in-depth interview with him as an entire piece where he gets to explain himself and the journalist does the bare minimum to contextualise. It was a bad article that shouldn't have been run.

What they got instead was extra scrutiny on Reuters stories to make sure they haven't changed in accordance with their contract with Reuters.

Interesting, according to some friend in the industry, this sort of editing wouldn't happen in larger orgs like the BBC because their readership is so big that there are members of the public who will compare Reuters to BBC as a hobby and they'd have been found out immediately lol

Apparently a kid got hit with a shovel at the rally for Gaza in Tāmaki this afternoon. Like a little primary school aged kid. Still not seeing it in the media anywhere though, has anyone seen/heard anything?
