An update on my last contribution to the thread in the Purple place: The RNZ-TVNZ merger.
[*]Public submission to the selected committee ended on early September (I made a mistake on the duration!), receiving over 800 submissions;
[*]Commercial broadcasters voiced their concerns, as well as those in TVNZ (ironically by RNZ);
[*]$6 mil to contractors, $3 mil to rebranding expected when the merger go through (RNZ);
[*]The government's still on continuous push for the project, as Broadcasting Minister Willie Jackson singled out TVNZ for "a change in culture" (The Spinoff);
[*]And as elections are looming next year, National Party plead to stop the merger should they come into power (Newshub).
