Another Blow for Maori

The most recent goings ons around the TVNZ Maori TV Rugby World Cup bid is appaling and is another Blow for Maoridom:
From Seats on Local Council, the H-Bomb in Whanganui, to the rugby world cup bid:

This is getting tired and Maori wont stand for this constant pandering and blocking of Maori Enterprise trying to get ahead:

Why are State Broadcasters who each get state funding competing for a bid to this extent:

Surely TVNZ could have seen they simply could not compete and have largely gone down a different track in terms of its own content and they dont really need to putting their resources here anymore:

We have Channel 3, Prime, SKY and Now Maori TV - whom all with their audiences and they style they deliver and type of content they deliver, these broadcasters are now better suited to be delivering this type of coverage that is the rugby world cup and not TVNZ - back in the days TVNZ would have been the obvious choice, but today with Digital Communications, Internet and a more diverse and Innovative viewer, what was clear cut is now not so.

Maori TV have indicated that they may raise bids, and have expressed support from wealthy Iwi and many large Corporations who may give funding assistance to support the Maori TV lead bid.

The reasons for the srong opposition is sad, and a real blow for Maori who will take this personally, it just looks like the Government is scared a tier 2 state broadcaster might win, so they are doing something to counter and try and stop it:

For stupid Ideological reasons its wrong:
