Monday May 18th, 2009: The NZ Herald this morning has Christine Rankin as the main story on page one. The news that the "Auckland Super City bill" has passed is an NZPA story at the bottom of page 3. Even online, in the National News section, the passage of the Bill doesn't rate a headline. It's down amid the list of additional stories. I was going to include a screenshot here, but the Auckland story is so far down the page I can't get it to fit in one image.
For the NZ Herald (Auckland's only daily newspaper, for those who may not know) the end of the Opposition filibuster and the imposition of a dictatorship over the Auckland region is a minor event compared to Christine Rankin's boring, tawdry "controversy"?
Whatever.......
Another day I'm glad I didn't actually pay for the Herald. They either have no idea what really matters or they do and don't want us to know.
