Dear Television New Zealand Limited,

Under the OIA I request the following:

On the 15th October the TVNZ breakfast show's Jenny - May Clarkson interviewed Hikoi organiser Eru Kapa Kingi.
Kingi was a former Māori party candidate, a parliamentary staffer for the Māori party, and former Māori party candidate. None of this information was disclosed.

Please provide all communications concerning the organising/facilitating of this interview. This should include initial reach out through to final delivery.

Please provide any guidelines/protocols the Breakfast show has for ensuring neutrality and providing full disclosure of guests concerning their conflicts of interests and connections with other groups or people that may materially change the way an interview is perceived by the public.

Forty-five seconds into the interview the quote/statement
'What is good for Māori is good for everyone'
was screened 10 times across the bottom of the screen. Neither Clarkson, Kingi or Harawira used the words, even came to close to using those words so they could be paraphrased.

Please provide all information/communications relating to the screening of this statement during the interview including who the quote/statement is actually credited to.

Please provide all pre authorised and real time text that was screened before the interview took place and when the interview was live, if any.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

James
