Labour on the PM’s radio show

Labour is spending another day talking about the PM’s radio show, rather than oh you know say the credit downgrade. Yes I know they are talking about that also but if you talk about two issues in a day, then your chances of the media highlighting the one you want is diminished.

But anyway as they are still going on about it, has anyone else been amused by Labour’s position on the show. Their position is this:

  1. The show is an illegal election broadcast which should be prosecuted under the Broadcasting Act
  2. Radioworks should offer an identical one hour show to Phil Goff
  3. Phil Goff would accept the show if it was offered

You don’t need to be a member of MENSA to work out the flaw in their arguments.

For what it is worth, I think Radioworks should offer Goff an hour show also. Sure it will rate as well as a one hour discussion on agalmatophilia, but the revenue loss is probably less than the lawyer’s fees.
