Press Release Libertarianz Party
Youth Radio Mulching Without Government Meddling
Libertarianz broadcasting deregulation spokesman Larry Timberlake today congratulated Tony Katavich, owner of Kaikohe's
youth radio station "The Mulcher", for proving that such a business can develop and grow without Government meddling or
taxpayer's money.
"Although this Kaikohe station may be small, it is a mouse that roars out that the Government is wrong to assume
minority groups can never have a voice except at the taxpayer's expense. The existence of this station allows the
Labour/Alliance broadcasting policy to be seen for what it is: a blatant vote-buying exercise. How else can one explain
a taxpayer-funded radio network based on age-discrimination and a taxpayer-funded television network based on racial
discrimination?" asks Timberlake.
"Broadcasting needs Government intervention," says Timberlake, "in exactly the same way as newspapers or magazines need
Government intervention -- which is to say, not at all."
It's enough to make you vote Libertarianz!
