SOLO-NZ Press Release: McCully for Dummies Lindsay Perigo Hon Murray McCully
“The purpose of the 2011 Ambassador programme is to generate positive outcomes, especially in relation to trade, tourism, and investment. It is clearly very unhelpful to instead be engaged in a controversy over the use of language.
“Mr Haden accepts that his use a [sic] particular term caused offence. He has, without any prompting from me, already publicly apologized for causing offence. I understand that he is releasing a more general statement of apology today. That, as far as I am concerned, is the end of the matter.
“The 2011 Ambassadors were selected because they brought particular attributes to our 2011 programme. Most of them are based overseas, where they provide a very potent marketing force. That they undertake this work for free is greatly appreciated.

The best political satirist in Australia is a KIWI!
John Clark, known here
in New Zealand as "Fred Dag"
Here is one of his most classical moments in Australia (I can just imagine Linz doing something similar)

LOL to the ham and mustard joke!
I saw Have I got News For You years ago when I was in London and enjoyed that. I haven't seen or heard of 7 Days because I can't stand NZ TV (generally speaking) and so rarely watch it. I looked it up on Google, though, and it said, "7 Days sees New Zealand's top comedians pit their wits against the week's news and each other. " It then gave a list of the comedians. I only recognised one name (whom I didn't find funny at all) and thought if they can't get Raybon Kan on it, it probably isn't worth watching. He is the only comedian I know whom I find funny. Any good political satires in Australia? Isn't that where you live?
Yes Rosie!
I'd thoroughly enjoy seeing Linz in "Have I got news for you." It is an extremely successful, satirically, scathing news show that predominately features, Ian Hislop (editor of Private Eye).
The New Zealand version " 7 Days" is simply pathetic in comparrison. It doesn't cut the mustard because there is hardly any of it in the sandwich and what little there is of it, is spread carefully so as not to offend the ham.
Ha!
I think this is a good idea for a magazine in the style of Private Eye. And did you know that Private Eye is the best selling current affairs magazine in the UK? Perhaps this is where you could make your fortune, Linz? At the same time have the most enormous fun writing these satires!
This
is brilliant. I hope the individuals involved see this.
