Comments and questions
Mr Dagan should do a good job especially with his indepth knowledge (not) of Maori and Pacific Programmes. Of course in Australia they do a wonderful job (not) of highlighting the plight of the Aboriginal and Pacific Island, and middle east communities. If TVNZ whishes to be taken seriously appoint a NZ'er to the role. Its quite a shame that our taxpayer owned company must trawl off share for cast offs
I suppose you have to remember that the Aussies did take Rick Ellis so NZ is probably just ahead on balance....
Ellis has gone to a telco with deep pockets.No doubt when this aussie stuffs up we'll not only shell out a huge exit package but will have to also recall Ellis again!!!!
JP is right, get a local who knows the lay of the land....
