So when do we expect translators to be needed when we discuss international matters with countries we trade with? Thinking of Australia, UK and USA here.

How many people bother watching the news or weather on TV these days simply because they don't understand the language being spoken?

We will be back in the stone age before we know it.

Yip Total disconnect with reality from the left. Never mind the wider world and a sane section of our community can not understand what we are up to down here.

I was at someone's house last night where the TV was on channel 3 - which I hardly ever watch. The lady weather reader had the lower-front of her head so heavily tattooed I found it hard to look at the screen. Furthermore I had never heard most of the place names she was spouting although I have lived here all my life. I thought TV 1 was bad, but believe me, 3 is worse.

My personal situation had me ( by choice) with no option of a tv for the last 2 years.
I have not missed it at all.
I will be back on the grid soon but no way will watch local tv.
Prior to that i was in Ausi for 7 years. Wnen I came back from Aus in 2016 I could only laugh at the state of our tv network.
Ausi had its media faults but goodness me, I could not suffer watching nz tv.
Bloody embarrassing.

I only "watch TV" (mainly tv one, UKTV, Sky Sports and David Attenborough) when I visit senior family. I use a phone/tablet/laptop to access information/news/entertainment. Sometimes a TV is used as a monitor if more than two people want to watch the same thing. For news I tend to access news websites or stream Radio NZ National, ABC News Radio and BBC World Service.

Seymour (here for the Opposition alliance) is in fine form.
Writing for the Daily Mail now (why would you?).
Trying very hard to be noticed.

Dave is down again in the polls and on track to below 5%.

If you can tolerate Aussi TV (or radio), then you should be able to withstand anything.

Still streets ahead of the kindergarten level I experienced here after I returned from Aus in 2016.
Throw in the added BS they feed up today as news and wow.
