It seems wildly inaccurate though am happy to be corrected.
Govt support to the media is clearly published & transparent for the last financial year.
The big media companies recieved -
TVNZ was biggest beneficiary with $5 million, + $1.1 million advertising spend.
Stuff, $2.37 million, + $1.15 million advertising spend
NZME (Herald and ZB radio ) $2.19 million + $1.9 million advertising spend
The rest spread among small publications, paywalls etc.
(In 2020 the govt announced a $50 million support package to help media through the Covid pandemic. Of that $50 million, $21 million was to cut transmission fees ).
Important to be reasonably in the ball park esp when often repeated, otherwise people might begin to accept $100 million as fact.

You are correct, in 2020 Ardern's government announced a 50 million package, just months before the election. This, at a time Robertson told us the economy was doing well.
As I suspect you know, Labour has followed this up with a further 55 million. So, i was short by 5 million. I will try to remember to say 105 million in future.

Better still make it 110 million for a while to cover the shortfall.

Under National we saw the sad display of "X factor NZ" alongside reality tv shows.
Hopefully this can provide some more acceptable programs.

Cheers Jonu, it was a genuine question, think I read somewhere they've given out around $31 of the $50 million last year & I wasn't aware of the recent announcement of $55 million spread over the next 3 years.
Of course I completely disagree with your claim it has any influence over content though.

Of course you would.
Indoctrinated devotees seldom question what is obvious to others.

How can you disagree with the content claim? Some of it was tagged for particular content around Maori issues.

Ha, well some of it was also 'tagged' for Kiwi Gardener, Rugby News, NZ Geographic, Wine NZ, NZ Petrolhead, NZ 4WD, Bay of Plenty Business publications, NZ Business Management, etc, etc with particular content around their particular issues,
- but due to the Covid Support Package being framed as a bribe, I presumed we were talking about influencing content to be Labour propaganda.
Maori issues are New Zealand issues & need a voice too.
Just as the govt provides funding for Mike Hoskings or Barry Soper, two of the govt's staunchest critics through NZME, or provides funding for playlists solely of Kiwi Music through NZ On Air, the govt has no control or influence over the content of what any of our media broadcast or publish in a way which I think you're implying.

I wouldn't be surprised if The Americans were not the main force urging the Australians to break their enormous French naval contract. The USA would not want Australia to fall too much out of their direct sphere of influence. It also means US companies benefit from the work. This nuclear sub deal ensures that Australia will remain in lock step with the USA. Militarily, the UK basically does what the USA wants them to do, perhaps more so after Brexit. There will be some spin off too for UK companies too.
It reinforces that NZ and Canada are not in the inner circle of the five eyes nations.
