TVNZ spending out of control
TVNZ needs to front up to its critics and explain its unprecedented level of expenditure on foreign news, which is
already available to the taxpayer, says National's Broadcasting spokeswoman Georgina te Heuheu
Mrs te Heuheu is commenting to reports today that TVNZ have but in a bid for $1.3 million to acquire ABC and 20/20, both
of which are already available to viewers on TV3.
"This is just more evidence that TVNZ has become an out-of-control monster that will spend any amount of taxpayers'
money and do anything to squash the competition for advertising dollars," says Mrs te Heuheu.
