| 760443 | 2009-03-29 06:18:00 | First headline news item on One News tonight: an Auckland recycling company is stockpiling glass waiting to be recycled. Hooray, big deal. | somebody (208) | ||
| 760444 | 2009-03-29 07:11:00 | Ok I've tried to workout why that is news but it completely defeats me. That's worse than the couldn't get a latte story they led with once. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
| 760445 | 2009-03-29 07:27:00 | 16 ton stockpile and its headline news. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 760446 | 2009-03-29 07:28:00 | It was made out (in the promos) to be a matter of the recycling company dumping recyclables in landfill - but when the actual piece aired, it was a different story altogether. Furthermore, the company came out (via a statement) and said that the reason it's stockpiled is that they're waiting for modifications to processing equipment, which is due to be done by the end of April. | somebody (208) | ||
| 760447 | 2009-03-29 09:25:00 | That is not the reason for the stock-piling, it is because there is no longer any demand from China for what amounts to rubbish which could have been re-cycled profitably once, but not anymore. The Global Depression works in mysterious ways. |

| 760449 | 2009-03-29 19:52:00 | I thought the point was the glass was full of other rubbish, therefore thats why they can't go ahead and process it. | pctek (84) | ||
| 760450 | 2009-03-29 20:16:00 | I guess if people come away from a news item with differing opinions on what the piece's point was, the journalists can't be doing their job very well.... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 760451 | 2009-03-29 20:25:00 | I thought the point was the glass was full of other rubbish, therefore thats why they can't go ahead and process it. No. The Owner said that because glass was heavier than paper, all the rubbish was sitting on top of the pile - underneath was all glass. Yeah - RIGHT :) |

| 760452 | 2009-03-29 20:31:00 | Frankly, I'd rather see 10 boring stories about recycling than have a newly-arrived tourist turn on the TV in his hotel room and be confrunted with 3 stories in a row about babies being bashed, tourists being raped or people getting stabbed on their own driveways. Not a good look. :2cents: |
