A daily, midday, news package which featured an in depth interview about a current news topic. Viewers could phone in and ask questions of the key interviewee.

  • 1Tourism Why do tourists from elsewhere in the world choose to come to New Zealand? How well do we treat tourists who visit this country? New Zealand does not have tourist attractions as such, but its appeal lies in its natural beauty and a Kiwi way of life in a quiet, peaceful atmosphere in a green and pleasant land. But how is that being marketed internationally? Are New Zealanders wholeheartedly ready to commit himself to the pursuit of the tourist dollar? Or do they have an attitude of "you're welcome to visit, but you'll have to take us as you find us"? Is New Zealand ready for all the development which needs to take place before New Zealand becomes more than just a dot on the map, or a stopover on the way to Australia? Discussion and viewer feedback with the Opposition spokesman for Tourism, John Banks.
