Show #34, November 22, 2008

Dunedin City, SHAME! In a world of ironic and risque advertising Dunedin and Otago Cricket thought they would dust off an old classic, racism. Funnily enough when I used to see billboards in Auckland's North Shore with the bourgeois middle aged couple advertising Dunedin as the getaway from the big smoke, I used to joke that the coded message was "It's All White Here". Now we can bust out our white robes and tattoo it on our foreheads. But wait our poor city is under siege by the PC police, quick call Debra Coddington she'll know what to do.

Anyway It's hard to know how to express how one feels as a result of this mind fuck. I know we do have Cadbury's here why not rename ourselves, "Chocolate City"! One Nation Under a Groove.


Tune in to here Dunedin Mayor Peter Chin as he responds to criticism. Also Victoria University Associate Professor in Media Studies and quasi-cricket historian, Tony Schirato on the colonial and race politics of cricket. Also Dr Vern Andrews on the history of racism towards the black athlete and the NZ context.

Campus Watch Incident, A First Hand Account 21/7/08

Check out comment for full report

To update this incident on Tuesday night July 28th, J.W. was visited at his residence by the police. The police served J.W. with a trespass notice to the university. The notice was in fact not signed by the University. This amounts to a targeted expulsion of a perceived troublemaker with no evidence of any crime being committed other than resisting his surveillance at the hands of campus watch.
