The Nation This Weekend
UPCOMING SATURDAY 15/10/11 --- SUNDAY EDITION 16/10/11 0830 --- TV3
Our apologies over the non appearance of our show last Sunday. We are definitely back this weekend. BUT we are taking
the following weekend (22/23 October) off because we figure no one will be interested in current affairs on Rugby World
Cup finals weekend. Besides that it's too expensive to fly everybody around.We will then return on October 29 with the
first of our election programmes.
However for this weekend (which will be Sean on his own as Duncan is off)
1. We will have a full backgrounder on the grounding of the Rena with particular focus on failings in the Governments
preparation for major oil spills.
2. Sean will be live with Environment Minister Nick Smith on the implications of the Rena grounding.
3. Our special "minor parties" Waitangi Debate featuring Metiria Turei, Hone Harawira and Rahui Katene but not Dr Don
Brash who has pulled or Peter Dunne who was never interested in coming anyway.
4. Our Sunday Edition media panel will include Spiro Zavos rugby columnist from the Sydney Morning Herald and the Roar
website.
