It gives TVNZ a free reign with no similar competition in the pipeline that will draw out a better result for us viewers in live and editorialised televised news.
It also impacts on radio, with the Newstalk ZB network having less need to interrupt broadcasting with "Breaking News".
It also makes newspaper more vulnerable at an earlier stage than what has been envisaged.
The Post must surely have its days numbered now.
The former Dominion and Evening Post dailies for Wellington and lower North Island emphasis is now but a shell of what it was. And payment for six-day delivery is fast approaching $100 a month.
As an example of The Post losing touch with local events, the Hurricanes announced their starting 15 if not the whole 23 for this Sunday's Super Rugby Pacifica match at Sky Stadium yesterday but no mention in Thursday's The Post. This is a first for the Hurricanes which are under a new coaching team, having previously year after year only released its playing team two days ahead of a scheduled match.
The Hurricanes won their first up competition match for the 2024 season by a wide margin last Saturday (our time) in displaying error-free, energetic form but you would hardly know this or its significance reading The Post.

You can take a dog on public transport trains and buses in the Wellington region so long as the dog can be secured (enclosed) in a carrier bag.

But you cannot take a dog in a three-four wheeler buggy (designed for small-medium size dogs) in public transport even if the buggy compartment was secured (enclosed).
But you can take a baby in an equal sized or larger buggy in the train or bus with or without a secured compartment.
Does all this seem fair and sensible? No, it's plain stupid. I don't think Metlink have thought it through.
In Auckland on public transport you can have a dog in a carrier bag or a dog of any size fitted with a muzzle and on a leash otherwise "free-wheeling".
Wellington's Metlink should think again. When I phoned them, I had to wait 15 minutes while the person I dealt with queried my query with the powers that be.
I have taken Corgis into Wellington many times in a train in a pet carrier - from one of only two manufacturers in the world able to supply such a carrier to fit a long backed Corgi with Corgis weighing up 16kg (without being obese).

But today none of this is occurring and Brewtown, Greytown and Martinborough are suffering the consequences and tourists are missing out in some of the best things NZ has to offer all within an hour's travelling time each way of the Wellington wharves.
And this is despite the huge increase in cruise shipping to Wellington this 2023-24 warm weather period.
I cannot begin to believe there is not a good profit to be made from linking cruise ship passengers with transportation to get some of the thousands of tourists to the places and facilities mentioned - Brewtown is unique to the world let alone NZ and Martinborough has world class wine and world class dining and drinking facilities with more than 30 wineries. not including other wineries in the Wairarapa.
