    @paremata said in Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz:

    Duncan Greive has quit the Spinoff which he founded . From what my clients have been saying there been a change in Wellington and the days of shovelling cash in all directions are over and there’s a lot of redundancies in the works .

    Grieves business model was based around NZ on air funding which resulted in one of the worst ever NZ tv shows - Spinoff tv . A “comedy” show so devoid of talent it makes 7 days look highbrow and one of the hosts did time in jail for domestic abuse .

    He must have sensed the change was coming as he abandoned ship , fortunately for him he and that amoral landwhale Siouxsie Wiles already made a fortune as “ covid explainers “.

    As usual Martin Bradbury nails it https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2023/02/06/mediawatch-a-salute-to-duncan-greive-who-resigns-from-the-spinoff/

    This line says the most

    We salute Duncan’s time at The Protectorate, for no one will match his skill at NZ on Air funding applications.

    Problem is that commentary is tainted by those that aren't so good at playing the game and don't get the candy.

    Like much in the public sector it is the funding and business case models and systems that are broken (along with the ability to play that system). No different really to the ability of other groups/ businesses to play the tax system. That takes the money away before it even passes through the intestines of govt.

    It would be the same if you set up a business as a deliberate tax loss I agree . Since there so little diversity of opinion in the NZ media the nz on air finding model looks pretty broken .

    I wonder how long the Spinoff Will survive without him , Spinoff tv notwithstanding he was obviously very good at knowing what would get him handed a pile of cash and an audience large enough to justify it .

    Outside of Danyl MacLauchlin there’s really very little in the way of talent there . I hope it goes the way Gawker has gone again .

    @antipodean I know this is the Fern but did you even read the link? The person with the smart reply obviously didn't.
    So you don't have to bother the woman quoted was talking about earlier experiences, not how she looks today.

    I wonder what they left off this before they edited for clarity?

    “I’m Muslim, I’m Filipino, I’m neurodiverse, I have mental illness and physical disabilities, I’m trans and asexual. People will say that there are contradictions,”

    If this isn’t a troll I bet a bunch of those things are self diagnosed .

    We had a girl working in our office. She was lesbian, vegan, dairy intolerant, gluten intolerant, had to have a standing desk (which she never used), had ADHD and anger management issues.

    I’m not a qualified doctor but I still managed to diagnose attention seeking twat.

    I do wonder if a lot of the lifestyle choices and difficulties that seem much more prevalent now, have a background of childhood abuse or awful parenting or something.

    @Catogrande That's remarkable generous of you. I had you pegged as more of a cynic.

    I think your attention seeking twat comment is probably more accurate in the majority of cases.

    I think social media and the me, me, me self-entitlement generation has a lot to do with it.

    Back in the day if you wanted to feel a bit special you grew your hair long and smoked some dope or stuck a safety ping in your nose and spat at people. Nowadays you have to identify as a brassica.

    Basically just a narcissistic bully in other words .. As well as a laundry list of issues real and otherwise this clown wants you to tiptoe around they are apparently “ tackling racism “ .
    Sure they are .

    If you want to see where pandering self absorbed loons like this leads to check out the part of this podcast where they talk about the Alpaca ranch run by a neurodiverse trans polyamorous community. You couldn’t possibly make this shit up

    “Judgy Mums stare, but I don’t even notice them“.

    How does she know they’re staring then?
