The taxpayer has received the first bill for Marian Hobbs' TVNZ Charter, ACT Broadcasting Spokesman MP Penny Webster
said today.
"Twelve million dollars is a ridiculous amount of public money to spend putting Ms Hobbs' politically correct stamp on
the State television network.
"Ms Hobbs has committed taxpayers to propping up TVNZ in perpetuity, so the state television network can meet the
Minister's "spiritual" objectives. This bill is only the beginning," Mrs Webster said.
