The resignation of Linda Clark is
welcomed by PeterEllis.org.nz, a spokesperson Brian Robinson, commented
today. Clark's resignation was probably
inevitable, following the recent apology that Radio New Zealand was ordered
to make to Peter Ellis following a Broadcasting Standards Authority decision.
A National Radio Nine to Noon programme hosted by Linda Clark in August 2003 was
found to be not fair and balanced. Radio New Zealand has also during
the Clark years been deafening with their silence on the book "A City Possessed" by Lynley Hood.
The book is one of the more important NZ literary achievements of last
decade, and commentary and analysis by National Radio is well overdue. PeterEllis.org.nz welcomes the
opportunity that Radio New Zealand now has to introduce a replacement who has
impeccable credentials for impartiality, and a person who is less likely to
contribute to the ongoing New Zealand sex abuse moral panic that Peter Ellis
became a victim of.
