When you're this Close Up, it looks ugly
I've got to question the role of our state broadcaster, Television New Zealand.
The day following Waitangi Day, I watched a story on Close Up of a dispute between local Iwi and land owners about Maungatautari Sanctuary.
Before the story even starts, it's fair to assume that it was always going to be a dispute of a complex nature. When it comes to disagreement over land ownership, is there any other kind?
And here lies my point.
What is Close Up possibly hoping to achieve in devoting just 12 minutes to a story that actually warrants an hour-long documentary in order to inform their audience with a fair perspective on the facts and opinions from both sides?
It pissed me off. Lots.
Surely all this ordinary piece of journalism does is agitate negative misconceptions and racist attitudes. Is this in line with the TVNZ Charter?
It's the sort of crappy sensationalised piece that Close Up execs know will rate well and watch well in the heartland of New Zealand.
Our state broadcaster needs to take a far more responsible role in informing and educating New Zealanders about land and race issues than this throwaway segment aired the day after Waitangi Day.

Shopfitters in Australia
Sorry - another SEO post here
Wikipedia definition of shopfitting
Shop fitting (shopfitting) is the trade of fitting out retail and service shops and stores with equipment and merchandise. The trade applies to all kinds of outlets from a small corner shop to hypermarkets.
A shopfitter executes planning, design of shop layout, and most importantly physically stocks the shop with equipment and goods.
A shop fitting firm typically incorporates professional expertise in interior design, manufacturing of bespoke furniture, signage and fittings (with own or outsourced facilities) and purchasing of retail equipment.
Shop fitting cycle begins with a survey and measurement of available space and preparing design drawings for submission to the client.
Alternatively, the client may have their own drawings prepared by an independent interior designer. The shop fitter arranges for purchase of standard equipment and merchandize or production of bespoke, delivers and physically installs them — until the shop is ready for daily operation.
There are different requirements to the different branches and types of shop. Fashion shop design requires up-to-the-minute awareness of current trends in colour and style to create stores that will draw customers in.
Successful pub, nightclub and bar design creates entertaining environments that also help customers relax and feel at ease. Cosmetics shops have small size products with high prices, and needs store design constructed to display the countless types of perfume and personal care products in an inviting manner.
