bNews with Kate
This month
marks 5 years since Auckland based television channel
TRIANGLE TV's first programme aired. Criticism and doubts as
to it's longevity, are just some of the things Triangles
been thrown. We speak to Chief Executive Jim Blackman
today.
A parliamentary select committee found
yesterday that New Plymouth MP Henry Dynhovens' seat has in
fact been vacant since June 11th. They had been considering
if he breached the 1993 Electoral Act, by applying to have
his Dutch nationality. Opposition MP's are hollering for the
speaker to accept the findings of the report, which would
declare the seat vacant and prompt a by election. All a
possibility, unless retrospective legislation is rushed
through today in an urgent move to from the Govt, to cover
Dynhovens ass. Is this just? Today we're joined by Act
Leader Richard Prebble...
150 people injured, 13
killed in the latest car bombing in Jakarta yesterday. In an
unusual step, Indonesia last night moved to increase it's
national security and invited Australia to help them in the
hunt for those responsible. Paul Buchanan from Auckland
University's political studies department joins us at 1pm
today...
And to lighten it up a little we hear
from Jeremy Wells, on NewsBoys World of Sport, and the man
we all love, Ant Timpson who's calling all the way from
Austin Texas with the Unitech Film Review. Cracker!
Aucklanders can tune in at 95 on the FM
dial.
