    @mokey the spinoff seems obsessesed with Hosking and their contributors write sanctimonious crap like this directed at him and the he gets the last laugh when their tv show is utterly awful. This story would be better if Hosking was likeable in some way but since there’s only one of him and about a dozen cretins sniping at him I’m cool with it.

    Mike Hosking argues that kindy teachers don't deserve to be paid like high school teachers. But does he have any idea what an early childhood educator actually does?

    @jegga Yep. And $700k is a shitload of money to waste on a show where they actually say 'we have no idea what we are doing'.

    The thing is with comedy, it is super hard to write funny/witty one liners. Great presenters and actors can sometimes make poor dialogue work, but if you have shit writing and shit presenting, that is a guaranteed disaster. And not knowing what the purpose/tone of the show is supposed to be will only make it worse.

    @mokey the thing is the writing on the spinoff is crap too, so it’s not like NZonair can try and make out they thought the wonderful content there would somehow work on tv .

    Interesting to see Waisake Naholo getting stuck in on the Facebook comments on this (I think) article.

    @bones that’s interesting.

    Rosemary MacLeod has waded into this as well. Her arguments are somewhat tenuous .

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/comment/105597650/coalition-trying-to-defy-history-with-backing-of-windup-merchants

    Her and Southern actually have something in common , they’ve both been harassed by transgender activists . McLeod wrote this a while ago and the trans community was very angry.

    @mn5 I'm certainly not disputing the icon bit. The "rock" bit, now that I have a problem with.

    I pay the same rates as him and my rubbish isn't collected for free, it is a more civilised hour though.

    Your point remains valid however I would find better ammunition when he goes to council, eggs and rotten tomatoes are a bit old. Shit is also old but shows far more depth of feeling.
