The Nation This Weekend
The Nation This Weekend
UPCOMING SATURDAY 15/10/11 --- SUNDAY EDITION 16/10/11 0830 --- TV3
Our apologies over the non appearance of our show last Sunday. We are definitely back this weekend. BUT we are taking the following weekend (22/23 October) off because we figure no one will be interested in current affairs on Rugby World Cup finals weekend. Besides that it's too expensive to fly everybody around.We will then return on October 29 with the first of our election programmes.
However for this weekend (which will be Sean on his own as Duncan is off)
1. We will have a full backgrounder on the
grounding of the Rena with particular focus on failings in
the Governments preparation for major oil spills.
2.
Sean will be live with Environment Minister Nick Smith on
the implications of the Rena grounding.
3. Our
special "minor parties" Waitangi Debate featuring Metiria
Turei, Hone Harawira and Rahui Katene but not Dr Don Brash
who has pulled or Peter Dunne who was never interested in
coming anyway.
4. Our Sunday Edition media panel
will include Spiro Zavos rugby columnist from the Sydney
Morning Herald and the Roar website.
