According to my colleague, Alison Mau, who should know, radio studios like Magic Talk’s have a “dump button”, so Richard’s racist ramblings could have been consigned to audio oblivion rather than making it to air.
OPINION: I don’t listen to Magic Talk, because I think my shouting over it would probably drown out what the hosts were saying. I prefer to save the yelling for when I watch sport on TV, when it’s well documented the players on my favourite teams can actually hear me if I shout loud enough. It doesn’t work so well during a morning stroll down through the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor.

Fire Fighters Union Boss Schaitberger Accused of Skimming $6M
Posted on
Harold Schaitberger (in photo), longtime head of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), has a reputation for wielding unchallenged power. But that power soon may dissipate in the wake of a memo prepared by the union’s number-two man. On March 20, IAFF Secretary-Treasurer Edward Kelly circulated a 105-page internal memorandum accusing Schaitberger and Kelly predecessor Thomas Miller of misusing or outright stealing about $6 million in union funds, especially pension assets. The memo, which followed an outside audit, also accuses Schaitberger of concealing these losses from the union executive board. Schaitberger disputes the charges, calling them “reckless and destructive.” But the IRS, the Department of Labor and the U.S. Attorney’s Office are conducting a probe that may conclude otherwise.
