What a ridiculous comment.

A bit was made of the use of TVNZ premises by a Labour aspirant, Mr Taurima. This was even top of the news at one point. I have often thought that the Maori news programmes are somewhat anti-govt. This could be part of the reason. When I worked at a local tertiary institution, the paperwork for the Tainui claim was being done from campus offices, on campus networks, and I assume with the full permission of the institution. It worked, Tainui had the first payout, and they have transformed Hamilton with the proceeds, after a lot of hard work. They have more big investments in the pipeline.
It looks like the patience of TVNZ wore thin. After all, it is election year.

Not sure what you're saying here EZ. Are you saying since it worked for Tainui to misuse the "tertiary institution's" premises, same should go for Labour and TVNZ. Not sure what the relevance in your point is.
TVNZ is a State Broadcaster that should be impartial, or at least try to be so. Allowing one political party use of the premises, emails and staff, is absolutely unacceptable. It does not matter what party it was. Their "patience"should not have worn thin, there should never have been any tolerance of this behaviour in the first place.
Iceman, I'm not sure of my point either. But good things can come out of political action, and having a power base to achieve it from makes a difference when you're working against the long-held establishment views. It turns out that one senior TVNZ staff member attended a hui in the offices last year.
But the point is journalists should be impartial. I doubt very much that Paul Henry votes Labour or Greens, he makes that obvious, but he still interviews people, and he's been brought back in election year by TV3. That would be just one example.
Using TVNZ servers to send emails related to a Labour campaign attempt is not smart, having a meeting right inside the building certainly wasn't. But in the early stages of this, enough of the management must have thought it was acceptable.
Anyway it's all sorted now, no real harm done to anybody.
The end is near for this megalomaniac. Hopefully he will be deported pronto as his whole being is based on lies and piracy of other peoples creations.

He's waiting for his saviour, DC (not JC) to be elected.
Deport Dot.com and be done with it. To be fair, I think even the Greens and Labour would not be too displeased.
Just going back to the Solar for a sec, I found this through reading the NBR this morning. http://vector.co.nz/solar That is what I call a solid program. It's a rental scheme that both you and Vector can and will win from. The important difference here is, it's a full set up including the Batteries. It is up and running now and there is no cost outlay, just savings. I like that, a power company showing the Greens how to be Green. This is where the Green Party fail, they are too busy telling everyone what to do and not enough time invested in coming up with anything that would actually work. They are hopelessly out of their own league. There's room for a new political party called "The Real Green Party", IMHO & if their policies were based on common sense Green issues, Russ & Co would be Gone-Burgers within a year. Nothing wrong with thinking Green and being Green, but there is nothing right with the Green movement in NZ since the 1980s. Less of the Green Hitler style and more with working with and for the people you are trying to control, will see some go forward for them, but that's not going to happen. That's why I see the Labour/Greens a very dangerous and explosive situation for all of us if they have the numbers to form a Govt. this year.
Correction, there is a set-up fee from $2000 to $3000 depending on how many panels you run with.
