More Evidence Of The National Government Having Unprotected Sex With Sky City Casinos.

Everyday more information comes out, and yet national does not care or stop. I want to thank the many young gay men who voted for this national Government. I hope you lot of idiots never get sex again.
Cabinet ministers overruled expert advice which would have placed a $500,000 greater burden on SkyCity each year for treating problem gambling.
The decision was made shortly after SkyCity was asked to bid for the contract to build the National Convention Centre.
It has prompted questions from the Green Party over an apparent closeness between the Government and SkyCity at the time of the tender process.
In November 2009, Prime Minister John Key asked SkyCity to bid for the contract, just days after the company chairman spoke of close ties with Cabinet ministers.
Then, in March 2010, Cabinet put the contract out to tender – 14 months later announcing SkyCity as the winner. The company is now negotiating over carrying the $350 million construction cost in return for gambling concessions, including extra pokies.
The tender had just been put out to the market when the Ministry of Health proposed a new funding formula for problem gambling which would have put more cost on casinos, the racing industry, and the Lotteries Commission.
The plan was part of a three-yearly process to set the rate of the problem-gambling levy, which comes from the gambling industry and is based on 0.9 per cent of its forecast $5.9 billion profits for the next three years.
Problem-gambling health officials told ministers they needed to change the way the levy was funded. They said more money needed to be drawn from the gambling entities making the most money.
SkyCity So Bad They Have To Bribe Kiwi TV Stars And ‘Journalists’ To Eat There.

Well, the service and food is awful at Sky so no surprise they have to pay people to eat there. But what a strange mix of talent up for sale they have assembled…..
SkyCity is paying tens of thousands of dollars for the services and star-power of some of the country’s biggest celebrity names.
Mike Hosking has done regular work for the casino, and Paul Henry has a “long-standing association” with it. SkyCity sponsors several big-name sports stars and provides a ‘chairman’s card’ for a small number of celebrities allowing them free five-star hotel rooms, meals and drinks.
The relationship is a win-win for all involved, but is rarely spoken about. Some of the famous faces perform MC or promotional duties; other ‘ambassadors’ just have to be seen in the casino’s 25 bars and restaurants.
Former Warriors captain Steve Price has a lucrative private sponsorship contract with the casino complex. The Breakers basketball team also eat and drink there, as part of a separate sponsorship scheme.
SkyCity chief executive Nigel Morrison was a frequent guest on Paul Henry’s RadioLive drive time show. But Henry’sNew Zealand employer, MediaWorks, said the company was aware of his links to the casino and expected transparency.
“We are aware that there is a long-standing association between Paul Henry and SkyCity,” a spokeswoman said. “All MediaWorks staff are required to declare potential conflicts of interest of either a business or personal nature.
“Where these do exist, they are carefully managed so that our editorial integrity is not compromised – and this was the case during the time Paul was with Radio Live.”
Henry is based in Sydney where he hosts Channel 10′s breakfast show. Neither he nor Hosking, who is said to MC at the casino and do other corporate work, returned calls.
Hosking’s primary employer, the Radio Network, did not return calls. Megan Richards, spokeswoman for TVNZ where Hosking fills in as Close Up host, said by email: “I know nothing about SkyCity’s programme. I’m not aware of any of our employees being a part of it. Mike is a contractor with us.”
Hosking is a big fan of the restaurants at SkyCity, as shown by his online Tweets.
March 10: “We went to Dine by Peter Gordon at the Sky Grand … new menu he’s on fire.” March 16: “Just been for the pre Close Up dinner at Depot, Al’s got some awesome new stuff on the menu he’s a genius.”

Wow, this takes moxy. So a friend sent an email to TVNZ complaining about the death of TVNZ7. After much bull, they then dropped the shit and replied with this……
“An interesting social trend has developed in the meantime – many people are now choosing to watch programmes they can access over the internet, where they have more choice and flexibility over what they choose to watch and when.”
